As I approach the burnished bronze front doors, I see two goblins guarding either end of the door, dressed in scarlet and gold uniforms. I was very surprised to see them since it is the first time in my life that I can see them in person and not through a TV or cinema screen.
Trying not to be impolite, I greet them with respect and then go through the front doors, there is a hall where there are several rows of silver doors, and on one of the walls you can read an engraving with the following message:
Come in, stranger, but pay attention
To those who have the sin of greed
For those who take, but do not win,
They must pay on their return.
So if you look under our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you are warned, beware of finding anything other than treasure there.
I crossed the hall to where two other goblins were guarding a large door that leads to the main hall, I returned to greet them out of respect and made my way to the Interior, the main hall was much larger than the previous one, it contains a long counter with 100 goblins sitting on high stools working.

It was breathtakingly luxurious and amazing, never in my life had I been in a place so full of riches before. There were many more doors around guarded by goblins, surely some of them would take us to the silly things,
I stopped losing myself in my thoughts to approach one of the unoccupied platforms and wait for the goblin to finish his work. When he was finally done examining the gemstones and set them aside, he looked at me.
- "May your gold always flow" - I greeted him with respect, and he stared at me surprised, along with some other goblins who were around.
It takes a while for him to snap out of his daze, but the angry face he was looking at me with before he spoke relaxed a bit. - "That your vaults are always full" - He replied. - "What can we offer to you young witch" - His voice was somewhat gravelly and hoarse, but at the same time, it had a bit of softness in it.
- "My good sir, I have come to see if I was allowed to take an inheritance test" - I said with respect, I did not want to have the goblins as enemies.
- "Wait a minute" - He got off his stool and disappeared behind one of the many doors, just under a minute later he reappeared with another elf who seemed much more important and was wearing a tailored suit.
When the two of them reached the front, I quickly repeated the same greeting that I had previously done, he also seemed surprised, and a somewhat creepy smile appeared on his face.
- "Miss, my name is Ranok, and I am in charge of hereditary tests" - He explained to me. - "If you follow me, we'll do yours."
- "Sure" - I nodded, and he turned once again going to the door through which he left, before leaving I turned to the goblin who helped me. - "Thank you very much, sir..."
- "Griper" - Said.
- "Thank you very much Mr. Griper for your help" - I smiled at him and then quickly followed Ranok who was waiting for me a little further on.
I watched Baltazar who was still sleeping very comfortably against my chest, it seemed that my idea of tying him to my body with that cloth worked since he seemed very comfortable.
