Chapter 44: Gringotts

The motorcycle looks very broken, but it is surprisingly stable when sitting down, and the speed is also very fast, there is no smell of gasoline, and it is an environmentally friendly weapon.

"It's a good car." On the way, Zhao Lun praised it sincerely.

"It's a car from one person, and to be honest, I really regret driving it." Hagrid didn't seem to want to talk about the car.

Zhao Lun didn't ask anymore, so he sat on it intently, thinking about the question.

He's seen all of Potter's films, but he's not seen them all. But the book, he has read, a total of seven physical books, and they are still genuine. At that time, I borrowed it from a Harbin fan classmate, and I read it in one go. Whether it's in the book or the story of the movie, he feels that these things are not actually touched.

Neither Hagrid in the movie nor Hagrid in the book is as direct as what he sees with his own eyes.

There is also this world, which he still does not dare to say and understand.

The car was very fast, and as soon as Zhao Lun thought about the problem, he arrived in the town.

As they passed through town to the station, many passers-by stared at them, and then all looked at Hagrid, the tallest one.

Zhao Lun is now the richest man here, and there are not many opportunities for everyone to see him. Hagrid was twice as tall as a normal person, and when he came to town, he kept pointing at the most ordinary things, and he looked like someone from a bad place, and it was unbearable to look at him.

His words are even more misunderstood, what Muggle Muggle, even the eyes are a little contemptuous, making people wonder if he is a person from a mental hospital, or a racist.

Zhao Lun felt embarrassed, he didn't expect to be so proud as a Hagrid wizard and look down on Muggles so much.

"Hagrid, can you tell me how to exchange money?" There was no way, Zhao Lun decisively diverted his attention.

"Go to Gringotts and exchange it, it's a bank where wizards can deposit their money. It is the safest bank. There's a lot of goblins in there, and dragons, and speaking of dragons, oh, that guy is so cute, I want to have one. Hagrid said as he talked about dragons, and Lou was visibly crooked, "But don't tell anyone about this, the Ministry of Magic forbids magicians to keep dragons." ”

"Oh? Why? Is it bad to keep a dragon? Zhao Lun was still very curious about dragons, and thought of its legend, "Are they very ferocious?" Or is it powerful? ”

"They're not fierce, they just have a bad temper, and only a powerful wizard can subdue them." Speaking of dragons, Hagrid's eyes lit up, and anyone could see his desire for dragons.

The Great Britain train in this world is well developed, and there is a train station in the small town of Tracy.

At the train station, Hagrid was still a little unaccustomed to buying tickets with so-called Muggle money, so he asked Zhao Lun to buy them. Zhao Lun has also taken the train from the town to London a few times, and now he is doing such a thing, and there is no problem with this.

In the car, Hagrid alone occupied two seats, and Zhao Lun made a piece with him, which was very inconspicuous.

"By the way, don't forget your letter." Hagrid said, rummaging through his body and getting busy.

Zhao Lun took out the parchment letter and showed it to him.

"Oh! Not bad. Hagrid smiled, "If you see the back, I'll take you to buy these things." ”

"Is it available in London? I've been here before and haven't found anything to buy. ”

The two talked, and the road was not lonely.

"It's coming soon, and as long as you get there, you'll know."

Hagrid knew where to go, and was not used to the crowded trains. He gets stuck at the ticket office of the subway and complains loudly that the seats are too small and the train is too slow, "The Hogwarts train is much better than this." ”

"Without magic, I really don't understand how these Muggles live."

The direction they were heading was not easy for Hagrid. He's too tall, and he's bumped all the way.

At the moment they were struggling to climb a broken elevator that led to a noisy street with many shops.

Zhao Lun was speechless, along the way, I don't know how many times.

Hagrid was tall and large, so it was easy to squeeze through the crowd, and Zhao Lun only needed to follow him. They passed by bookstores, music shops, hamburger shops, and movie theaters, and never reached their destination, surrounded by ordinary people.

Zhao Lun has been here a few times, but he hasn't found any magic shops. He wanted to see how Hagrid could find them, and then make a note of what he lacked in the future, and just buy it himself.

"Here." Hagrid said, walking straight to a small station,

"Leaky Cauldron Bar". A very famous place.

If Hagrid hadn't pointed it out, he wouldn't have noticed this small, dirty place, and he wouldn't have seen it.

The people in a hurry didn't even look at the small shop, and their eyes slid from the big bookstore on one side of the street to the record store on the other, as if they couldn't see the "Leaky Cauldron Bar" at all.

"Muggles can't see it at all, only wizards can." Hagrid said.

As a famous place, it is really dark and dilapidated inside. Maybe it's just in the afternoon, and it's a matter of being early. At this time, there was no one in it except the bartender.

As they entered, the old bartender reached out and took out a glass, beckoned to them, and said, "Would you like some, Hagrid?" ”

The small boss of the Leaky Cauldron Bar is Tom, Zhao Lun said secretly.

"No, Tom, I've got something to do." Hagrid said there was no intention of stopping.

"It looks like a new face." Tom looked at Zhao Lun, "Could it be that he is a freshman this year?" ”

"Yes, Alan, this year's freshman, okay, that's it, we still have a lot to buy, that's it." Hagrid came out with Zhao Lun.

Outside the bar there is a small walled patio. On the surface, there is nothing but garbage cans and some weeds, but the bricks on top of the dumpster are a passage into a diagonal alley.

"Three blocks up...... Move three ......" Hagrid counted three more tiles on the dumpster - two more horizontally, and tapped his wand three times on the wall, and the brick shook and a small hole appeared in it, and finally the hole turned back into an archway leading to Diagon Alley.

This arch leads to a cobblestone street that zigzags forward until it is out of sight.

"Let's go." Hagrid continued to lead the way.

Zhao Lun looked at the memories in his mind at this time and compared them with these.

Hagrid was as enthusiastic as the savior, and at the moment, the two were silent. Zhao Lun was also happy, he looked at it to himself, and then let the light brain in his mind record everything he saw here, and simulate a virtual world in his mind.

The two stepped into the arch together, which had become a solid wall again.

Patch Crucible Shop.

This is the closest shop to the Leaky Cauldron Bar. This shop sells crucibles of various models and materials. Outside the store there is a glittering sign that reads: "Copper - Brass - Tin Plated - Silver Cauldron, Complete Models, Self-Stirring, Foldable." ”

"You'll have to buy a crucible, but we'll have to exchange the money first."

A low, soft cry came from a dimly lit shop with a sign that read: Bella Owl Shop—tawny, reddish-brown, all-brown, tan-haired, snow-white.

Many boys his age pressed their noses against the window, which was their dream broomstick - the Light Wheel 2000.

There were also many shops, a shop for Madame Morkin's robes, binoculars, and strange silverware, buckets of bat spleen and eel eyes piled up in the windows, crumbling piles of spell books, rolls of parchment, medicine bottles, and all sorts of balls.

"This is the wizard's bank, Gringotts." Hagrid said.

They came to a snow-white building, which was much taller than the small shops around. Standing next to the glossy bronze gate are elves in crimson and golden-yellow uniforms.

The goblin was about half a head shorter than Zhao Lun, and he had a swarthy and clever face, a pointed beard, and very long fingers and feet.

There are two gates in Gringotts:

The first gate was a gleaming bronze gate, and at the doorway stood elven guards in scarlet and gold uniforms, bowing to customers as they visited.

The second door is silver, and the following text is engraved on it:

Please come in, stranger, but watch out

What will happen to insatiable greed,

Blindly ask for it, get it for nothing

will be punished most severely,

So if you want to take it from our underground vault

A wealth that never belonged to you,

Thou hast been warned, O thief,

Beware that it is not a treasure that is invited, but a bad retribution.

Passing through the second silver door and into the spacious marble hall, about a hundred or so elves sat behind the long counter and scribbled into the large ledger. Some weigh coins with a scale, while others use eyepieces to inspect gemstones.

"Good afternoon, let's exchange some money." Hagrid said.

"Muggle currency exchange, please come here." A leprechaun beckoned to them.

"Please put the money you need here." The goblin holds a tray and lets them put it in.

"Is a check OK?" Zhao Lun took out a check and said.

"Yes." Leprechaun said.

Zhao Lun put it on.

"The cheque is no problem, five thousand pounds, which can be exchanged for one thousand gold galleons, which can be exchanged for seventeen thousand silver coxies, and four hundred and ninety-three thousand copper nats, what do you want to exchange?" Leprechaun said.

"Well—exchange it for nine hundred gold gallons, one thousand three hundred and sixty silver cocos, and exchange the rest for copper nats." Zhao Lun said.

"Nine hundred gold galleons, one thousand three hundred and sixty silver coxies, nine thousand eight hundred and sixty bronze nats, are you sure?" Leprechaun said.

"Sure." Zhao Lun said.

"It's yours." The goblin took out the three bags, placed them on the tray, and pushed them to check.

"No problem." Hagrid stepped forward to inspect it, then pushed the bag to Zhao Lun, "Put it away, now, let's go buy what you want." "Leave here with Zhao Lun.

It was very inconvenient for Jin Gallon to hold, and Zhao Lun put most of it into the kingdom of God, and a small part in his backpack.

One more, and possibly another.

In other words, I don't know how to urge the change......
