Chapter 33: Buying a Harry Potter?
One thousand 1,700,000 gold Galleons.
In Tang Bai's memory, this seemed to have surpassed the wealth that some so-called pure-blood magic families had accumulated in a few lifetimes.
The goblin at the counter slapped his palms lightly, and the pile of gold coins that were piled up like a small mountain disappeared in an instant, revealing the clean and tidy counter again. The goblin who had done this business at the counter asked Tang Bai with irrepressible joy in his tone: "Do you need to withdraw cash, or something else?" ”
"Withdraw them all. Do you know which is the largest herb store here? If you know, you might as well recommend it to me. I need to buy a large batch of finished potions and herbs, for a limited period of three days! Of course, if your recommendation satisfies me, I will be happy to pay you some gold Galleons as a reward for your information and recommendation. Tang Bai made a choice without hesitation, and then turned to ask the goblin.
He now had only one old copper coin left in his hand, and until he could find another replacement that could replace the old copper coin, he would have to be cautious about his next journey. The amount of medicinal materials purchased by more than 11 million gold gallons, no matter how extravagant the waste was, should be enough for Tang Bai to consume for a long time, right?
"As long as you are paid, even if you are a demon, we are happy to serve you wholeheartedly." The goblin at the counter laboriously bowed to Tang Bai in his place, raised his head solemnly and asked, "I don't know what kind of potions and medicinal materials you plan to buy, and what are the amounts of each?" and the final amount of gold gallons spent......"
"All." Tang Bai interrupted the goblin's words and spit out two words very clearly.
"All?" The goblin's eyes were full of suspicion, and he seemed to be a little unsure of the exact meaning of these two words.
"All! Eleven 1,700,000 gold galleons, I need to turn them all into various potions, as well as medicinal materials to make potions. Tang Bai waved his hand imposingly. The goblin was already a little stunned by his words.
"It's impossible, in the entire wizarding world, there is not a single medicinal herb store that can meet your needs right now." The invitation who came to his senses shook his head.
"As long as it meets my needs, one or more will do." Tang Bai also realized this possibility in his heart, so after the goblin's words landed, he followed closely.
"Didn't you say you didn't find it when you came?" The goblin didn't answer Tang Bai's words, but instead asked an inconsequential question.
"Found what?" Tang Bai frowned.
"Depression here! Now the mysterious man and his followers are wantonly attacking wizards and Muggles, not only in Diagon Alley, but also in other regions, the business of wizarding shopping streets in other regions has long been firmly restricted by the Ministry of Magic, and many people dare not open shops anymore, and even sell their properties early and flee. The amount of potions you need is too large, and there is a time limit, even in peacetime, it is impossible for several medicinal giant stores to do your business alone, and it is impossible to gather more than 11 million gold galleons of medicinal materials in three days. The goblin spread his hands out, looking helpless.
Only by being in this world and understanding this world can you truly feel what kind of chaotic and tragic impact Voldemort, the final boss of the Harry Potter world, has brought to this world.
"How about I introduce you to a few medicinal herb merchants, and then you can negotiate a deal with them personally?" The goblin obviously didn't want to give up Tang Bai's reward, and seeing that Tang Bai was silent, he asked tentatively again.
"Yes. I would like to open a vault account at Gringotts to hold my gold Galleons. Of course, you need to spare me a thousand gold Galleons. Tang Bai also nodded helplessly.
According to the development of the story in memory, there are still ten days to go, that is, on the 31st day of July in this world, before the savior Harry Potter will really be born in this world, and it will not be until the 31st day of October in this world that Voldemort will be defeated.
During Tang Bai's three days here, how many potions and medicinal materials he could acquire in a hurry was the most important thing, and when he came here, there was naturally no reason to return empty-handed.
The goblin placed a palm-sized cloth bag on the counter and pushed it to Tang Bai's hand. Tang Bai took it in his hand and opened it, and saw the golden gallons piled up inside. This sack appears to be a special cloth bag designed to hold coins, which can hold coins much larger than their own. Tang Bai roughly rummaged through it, and knew that the number of gold gallons in the cloth bag was definitely around hundreds.
"Wait a minute!" Tang Bai played with a gold galleon in his hand, and was about to throw it back into the cloth bag when Jing Ling's voice suddenly sounded.
"What's wrong?" Tang Bai was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously pinched the golden galleon that fell towards the cloth bag.
"Haven't you been looking for an item to replace an old bronze coin? I think now you've found it. Jing Ling's voice sounded clearly in Tang Bai's heart. Tang Bai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then realized what the mirror spirit was referring to. The beating heart in his chest trembled suddenly, and a stream of heat swept through his limbs in an instant, blood gushed up, and his face was warm, occupied by two sudden flushes.
"You mean these golden Galleons?" Tang Bai's emotions were filled with strong joy, and he eagerly sought confirmation from the mirror spirit.
"Yes, I can feel the magic that vibrates on it, the same power that surges on the old bronze coins." Mirror Spirit's tone was very affirmative.
"Then, we don't seem to need to be too harsh on the amount of potions and medicinal herbs." Tang Bai's heart was suddenly relieved. If the gold galleon can replace the ancient copper coin, then as long as there is a gold galleon on his body, he can travel between reality and fantasy as many times as he wants.
There is no limit on the number of times, and naturally there is no need to buy in large quantities at one time.
The plan discussed with Jing Ling at the beginning was naturally completely uncountable at this time, but another plan suddenly flashed out of Tang Bai's mind. This thought was so strong, once it appeared, it was like a crazy weed, which instantly occupied Tang Bai's mind and lingered. It was deeply rooted in his mind.
If so, what if you had your own potions shop in the Harry Potter world?
Even, what if he bought most of the shops in Diagon Alley and made the Harry Potter world his first fantasy world?
Gold? There is no shortage of Tang Bai! There are still many fantasy worlds in his memory, and a lot of gold can be easily scraped. As long as Gringotts gives him an exchange, he will not be short of gold Galleons.
Of course, this is not Tang Bai's whimsy!
In peacetime, it is naturally impossible to acquire a commercial street like Diagon Alley, which resembles a prime location, and you don't even have to think about it. But what era is it? It's the Dark Ages when Voldemort led his Death Eaters to rage!
In this era, the business and economy of the wizarding world can be called a depression and a lot of blows. Countless stores have closed their doors, and even when they do, there are no customers. If you're looking to buy the surrounding stores in Diagon Alley, this is almost a great opportunity not to be missed! Otherwise, after three months, Voldemort would have been completely defeated and lost power, and it would have been difficult to find such an opportunity again.
