Chapter 81: Diagon Alley (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
The next morning, Link was woken up by a small button.
His way of waking up was very gentle, using a feather to gently pat Link's face, so Link woke up smoothly, not at all as exciting as being woken up by the alarm clock in his previous life.
"Little host, the host is waiting for you in the living room, you need to hurry. ”
Seeing Link wake up, Little Button was very excited, as if he hadn't gotten out of yesterday's emotions.
But it's normal, a thank you can really make the house-elves excited for a long time.
In response to the call of the little button, Link hummed softly, and then began to get up and get dressed and washed.
During this time, Little Button kept looking at Link, because he had done all these things in the past.
It's just a pity that it was too twisted, so Link didn't let Little Button continue his work.
After washing up, I went downstairs, and two calorie-exploding English breakfasts were already set on the table.
And seeing this breakfast, Link remembered the experience of last night.
One thing to say, that's really interesting.
Because Emily didn't leave immediately after picking up a bunch of Muggle luxuries from Mrs. Foley last night, but stayed in the castle to enjoy dinner.
Eventually, Emily stayed in the castle until midnight before being sent away by Mrs. Foley.
And judging by Emily's reluctant appearance when she left, Link estimated that if it wasn't for Mrs. Foley, she would have decided to stay in the castle for the night.
"Good morning, my dear little Link, come and have breakfast, we have to go to Diagon Alley when we are done. ”
At the dining table, Mrs. Foley, who was wearing a pure black slim suit, said with a smile, and Link nodded unsurprisingly when he heard this, and soon sat down and began to enjoy breakfast.
The trip to Diagon Alley had been decided yesterday, and according to Mrs. Foley, this time it was specifically for Link to pick out the presents.
Of course, she can still do some things by the way.
Link was noncommittal.
When breakfast was over, Mrs. Foley naturally took Link by the hand and led him into the huge fireplace next to him.
Then I saw her palm move slightly, and a string of fluorescent powder slipped from her hand and fell into the fireplace.
"Gringotts. ”
As Mrs. Foley spoke, a burst of light burst from the fireplace, followed by a whirlwind of the world.
By the time Link came to his senses, the two of them had already appeared in a tall marble hall.
The hall is very large, and the most amazing thing is that there are about a hundred goblins sitting on high stools behind a long row of counters, some weighing gems and coins, and many more receiving customers.
This was the first time Link had seen a goblin.
To be honest, they look a bit like house-elves, but most of them have fangs, and they all have very decent demeanor, so decent that people feel a little arrogant.
It has to do with their experience.
The elves are not as unlucky as the house-elves, as a transcendent race that also possesses spell-casting abilities, they have once crushed wizards in history with their sheer numbers and excellent spell-casting abilities.
It wasn't until the wizards invented the wand that they reversed it.
But that doesn't mean the goblins are convinced.
Subsequently, they also launched many rebellions in order to seize the right to use the wand and use it to increase their strength and return to their supremacy.
Of course, they all failed.
However, this also won them enough living space, taking the wizarding world of the country as an example, in order to appease the goblins, the wizards directly handed over Gringotts, the largest wizarding bank in the country, to the goblins, and at the same time gave the goblins the right to issue currency and manage it.
This was the last thing Link could understand, after all, it was simply a country that had completely surrendered its economic lifeline to a handful of creatures of other races.
It's like the goblin rebellion has succeeded.
And the goblins are obviously not willing to accept the love of wizards, which can be seen from the halls of Gringotts.
The height of those counters and the stools behind them was much higher than the height of a normal wizard.
As a result, the wizards who came to do business could only look up to the elves, which made Link speechless.
However, for the Foley family, who can use the VIP Floo Network to directly enter Gringotts, this kind of bad service experience will naturally not happen.
Lady Foley and Link had just come out of the Gringotts fireplace when a fairy in a straight suit with a monocle in his eye socket greeted him and said enthusiastically:
"Welcome, Mrs. Foley, and Master Foley, we've been waiting for a long time. ”
Hearing this, Link instinctively frowned, although the other party was laughing, but the other party's leaking fangs were really uncomfortable.
Mrs. Foley apparently felt the same way, but she snorted coldly and shouted:
"Shut your mouth, you're disgusting!"
"Yes! Yes!"
The goblin nodded yes quickly, and since he was talking with his mouth closed, his tone sounded a little weird.
But what surprised Link the most was that the other party was not angry at all, but had a sincere and frightened look.
This made him realize that his cheap mom had probably reached a terrifying number in Gringotts.
Link nodded thoughtfully.
Mrs. Foley then went to the VIP room under the goblin's lead, while Link headed out of Gringotts.
That's what they agreed on last night.
Mrs. Foley needed to pick up some things at Gringotts and go through some cumbersome formalities by the way, and Link could move freely on Diagon Alley for a while, so Mrs. Foley also specially stuffed Link with a hundred gold Galleons, and at the moment those heavy gold coins were lying in Link's Traceless Stretching Charm pocket.
Of course, although the security in Diagon Alley is very good, Mrs. Foley, who is not at ease, still sends a small button to protect Link.
As a house-elf, although the little button looks a little humble, it is also a little silly.
But his strength is not weak at all.
Moreover, house-elves also have a special teleportation ability, which is in some ways stronger than the super-difficult wizard teleportation spell of Phantom Shift.
Because it can even ignore the anti-apparition and anti-apparition charms set up in Hogwarts.
Slowly walking out of Gringotts, Link standing on the steps was looking around Diagon Alley in front of him.
This is indeed a very busy shopping street, full of crowded people, and the shops selling mysterious items on both sides of the street are even more crowded, so it is a lively scene.
But for Link, such Diagon Alley was a bit of a disappointment.
Because Diagon Alley doesn't have a lot of land, Link can almost see the head when he stands on the high steps of Gringotts now.
As the largest commercial center in the wizarding world of the entire country, this is also too shabby.
Shaking his head, Link finally walked down the steps and into the crowd under the gaze of the two elf guards behind him.
Coming to Diagon Alley today, he has a clear purpose.
