Arms Dealers From Hogwarts
Chapter 4： Gulin Court
Chapter 4 Gringotts
Soon, Charing Cross Road arrived.
Jemini stood at this intersection, his gaze scanned the shops on the side of the street, and finally his gaze fell on an inconspicuous dilapidated wooden door.
An old broken sign hung on the wooden door-Broken Cauldron Bar.
There are two freshmen who went to Diagon Alley with Jemini, one is Hermione, the other is Justin Finley, both of whom are from Muggle families, except for the two, they are their parents.
What makes Jemini feel very comfortable is that both parents have good self-cultivation. The Finleys are decent and the Grangers are relatively low-key. Although the two family classes are similar, they still have a little temperament. different.
Professor McGonagall took a few people and pushed open the door of the Broken Cauldron Bar.
"Ha! Minerva, long time no see." Behind the bar, an old wizard with a hunched back and almost lost teeth greeted Professor McGonagall cheerfully.
There was a lot of noise in the bar, and the air was filled with the smell of wine and oak barrels, as well as the smell of smoke. The wizards who came and went curiously looked at the three of Jemini, Hermione and Justin.
"Long time no see, old Tom."
Professor McGonagall nodded politely, did not intend to stay, and walked towards the back of the broken cauldron with the people of Jemini.
Several people came to a small enclosed patio. Professor McGonagall drew his wand from his arms and tapped it on the wall above the trash can.
"Three blocks above the trash can, and then count two blocks horizontally. I hope you can write this down so that you can come again next time."
Professor McGonagall’s voice fell. In the eyes of a few people, the enclosed wall of the small patio heard a rumbling sound. The red stone bricks changed their positions one by one, and the whole wall rolled away like water waves. Then, the sun shone into the small patio, and a wide archway appeared in front of everyone. The archway led to a winding cobblestone street with no end in sight.
"Welcome to Diagon Alley!"
Professor McGonagall turned around, with a smile on his always serious face, the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.
Nothing can make a wizard more proud than introducing Diagon Alley to a freshman who is exposed to the wizarding world for the first time.
Hermione and Justin were full of excitement and curiosity in their eyes. They gazed around. Hermione had even completely forgotten that Jemini had lied to herself before.
As soon as everyone passed through the archway, the archway behind them turned into a solid wall, and the dazzling sunlight was projected on a stack of crucibles outside the door of the nearest store, emitting a light of cloth and cloth.
"Take out your shopping list." Professor McGonagall reminded: "You need a crucible, made of pewter."
Mr. Finley hesitated for a moment: "Do wizards also charge pounds?"
"Of course not." Professor McGonagall laughed: "The wizards have a special currency. Later I will take you to the wizard bank-Gringotts. You have to exchange it there. The currency used by the wizards is Jin Jialong. The exchange rate of silver scooters, copper nats, gallons and pound sterling fluctuates around 1:5."
As he said, Professor McGonagall looked at Jemini: "In addition, Mr. Fox, you don’t need to worry about money. There is a subsidy for freshmen like you. Although there is no guarantee that you can use the best, With funding from the school board, at least you can use the new magic wand textbook."
Jemini thought for a while, and decided to reject Professor McGonagall’s kindness. Although that would save a lot of money, Jemini didn’t want to wear his old robe to go to school. It didn’t have the conditions. Why did he feel wronged?
This money is earned, isn’t it just spent!
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Professor McGonagall, but I have a deposit myself."
Professor McGonagall was stunned. The Finleys and Grangers also looked at Gemini a little amused. In their opinion, an eleven-year-old boy just has savings, how much can he have?
"I have an obligation to remind you, Mr. Fox, the price required for a bunch of new students is at least about 40 gallons, which is equivalent to half a month\'s salary. Are you sure you can afford it?"
Professor McGonagall asked seriously, she didn’t want Jemini to cause problems for insignificant face issues.
Jemini nodded. Forty gallons is equivalent to about 200 pounds. With his current deposit of more than 15,000 pounds and sprinkling water, he can easily afford this expenditure.
"My current free deposit is about two thousand pounds." Jemini smiled gently.
"Two thousand?"
Mr. Finley opened his mouth in astonishment. His monthly income is only 800 pounds, which is already considered a high income.
Professor McGonagall was also surprised: "Where did you get so much money?"
Two thousand pounds, almost four hundred gallons. Add a little bit to buy a good place in Diagon Alley, and Jemini is talking about discretionary disposal, which means that this is not all his savings. Look. He knew it by downplaying that he didn\'t feel distressed at all.
"I\'m better at making crafts, and I often sell small things." Jemini smiled and took out a slightly bloated snakeskin wallet from his arms.
Naturally, this wallet was not taken out of my arms. It is not safe for a child of this age to carry so much money with me.
There are ten thousand cubic meters of storage space in Jemini’s weapons store, and Jemini’s money is stored in the storage space on weekdays.
"I have to say... Mr. Fox, you are the most amazing kid I have ever seen at this age." Professor McGonagall looked at Jemini with affection.
"Thank you for your compliment." Jemini nodded slightly to Professor McGonagall.
"I\'m telling the truth." Professor McGonagall pursed his lips: "Come with me, I will take you to Gringotts."
Soon, everyone followed Professor McGonagall all the way to Gringotts.
This is a snow-white building towering high above the surrounding shops, with a shining bronze gatehouse, and there stands a little dwarf wearing a scarlet and gold uniform—that\'s a fairy.
Small man, pointed ears, sharp teeth and dark face, Jemini immediately thought of the goblins in the dungeon. In fact, the title of the fairy is really the goblin...
"What is that?" Justin looked at the little figure in astonishment.
"Fairy." Professor McGonagall pursed his lips: "Keep as quiet as possible. They have not been very friendly."
When everyone entered the door, the fairy bowed to everyone, and then a second door appeared in front of everyone, a silver door, with the following words engraved on them:
Please come in, stranger, but you have to be careful
What is the end of insatiable greed
Blindly ask, get something for nothing
will be punished the most severely
So if you want to take away a piece of wealth that never belonged to you from our underground vault
Thief, you have been warned
Beware that it’s not treasure that came early, but bad retribution
"The lines between the lines are full of unfriendly." Jemini laughed.
Behind the gate, two fairies bowed to everyone and led them into a tall marble hall. There were about a hundred fairies sitting on high stools behind a long row of counters, and some were weighing coins with copper balances. Some are checking gems with their eyepieces, while registering hastily on the big ledger.
There are countless people in the hall, leading to different places, and many goblins are guiding people coming and going through these doors.
