Chapter 93: Gringotts

In the middle of Diagon Alley, in front of a towering white building, Li Quan stopped. He looked up at the dragon sculpture at the top of the building and thought.

This is Gringotts, and the sculpture at the top of the building is said to have been carved in the shape of a dragon guarding the Gringotts vault. In his opinion, this dragon could not be called a giant dragon strictly speaking, and it was far smaller than the real body of the black dragon princess Onexia that he had seen with his own eyes. I don't know if it was deliberately carved in a downsized scale, if it was a real size, the dragons in the Harry Potter world would be weaker than the dragons in the World of Warcraft.

Li Quan secretly contrasted, and then stepped into the building.

The two goblin guards in scarlet and gold uniforms standing at the door bowed slightly to Li Quan when they saw him walk in. Li Quan glanced at the two goblins and saw that they were short in stature, with huge noses and long pointed ears, which were especially similar to the goblins in the World of Warcraft. And these two creatures are also known for their greed for money, are they close relatives? Li Quan couldn't help but think about it.

The entrance is a very spacious and ornately decorated hall. Obviously, the goblins make no secret of showing their wealth to the outside world. This is not a show-off, but a proclamation. Tell the wizards that there is a lot of wealth from the wizarding world here, which is very safe, and they can rest assured that they can store their wealth here.

In the original book, these goblins are very mean. Whenever they saw someone in strange costumes walking into Gringotts, the goblins would unceremoniously give them a "you're a thief" look.

There is no doubt that Li Quan, who is dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, looks like a muggle with no magic power. His arrival immediately attracted the attention of some goblin staff in the hall.

Li Quan didn't care, and went straight to a counter. Behind the counter was an elderly elf, with a pair of round glasses on his thick nose, wrinkled skin, and sparse hair, and was bowing his head to record something with a quill. Sensing that someone was coming, the old goblin stopped his pen and looked up.

"What's the matter?" The old goblin squinted at Li Quan with a scrutinizing gaze for a while, and said lightly.

"Does Gringotts offer pawns?" Li Quan asked.

The old goblin replied unhurriedly, "There is no service here." Make deposits, store important items, rent vaults, and much more. Of course, pawnbroking services are also available here. ”

"That's good. I'm going to be something. After Li Quan finished speaking, he flipped his hand over, and suddenly conjured a few things in his hand like magic.

When the surrounding goblins saw this, they all immediately lowered their heads and continued to work. As long as it was confirmed that it wasn't Muggles or thieves who came in, they didn't care so much.

The old goblin in front of Li Quan saw this scene, and the pair of cloudy eyes behind the lenses seemed to flash for a moment, and then took these things from Li Quan's hand without saying a word, and leaned in front of him to take a closer look.

Li Quan looked at the other party's careful look, and felt a little apprehensive. Truth be told, he wasn't sure if it was worth anything here.

He took out a total of five things:

A bag of Level 5 Mana Grape Seeds.

A soul fragment.

A longsword with a simple shape.

A white gemstone.

There was also a dagger that emitted a faint cold light.

The seeds were temporarily redeemed by him, and he has been trapped on the ship these days and has been unable to do system tasks, so he exchanged the last bit of contribution for this pack of seeds.

There weren't many soul fragments left after the last Nanhai Town battle, so he only took one piece and used it as a pawn.

The quaint shape of the long sword was a trophy that he picked up from an orc warrior during the Battle of Nanhai Town, and he saw that it was well preserved, so he put it away.

The White Gem was also the trophy of that battle and was obtained from an undead priest.

The last dagger was the same dagger he used to stab the Black Dragon Princess.

Li Quan quietly waited for the other party's identification.

I saw that the old goblin first picked up the dark red jewel-like soul fragment, put it under the glasses and looked at it carefully, and then without saying a word, he picked up a magnifying glass from the side and put it on the lens, and looked at it carefully.

Li Quan felt that he needed to sell his own things, so he said: "This gem contains a fragment of the soul, and the specific effect probably needs some black magic to activate. So the energy contained in this gem is very powerful, enough to tear through space. ”

The old goblin glanced at him without saying a word, and for some reason, Li Quan read a kind of implication in his eyes as if he was looking at a mental illness. Li Quanxin said that he was overblowing? I'm telling the truth.

The methods of the Warlock in the World of Warcraft are only comparable to those of Voldemort in the Harry Potter world. It's not an exaggeration to say it's black magic. Moreover, the soul fragment is indeed enough to tear through the spatial rift and summon the demonic energy.

Unfortunately, the old goblin didn't seem to see anything. Hearing Li Quan talk about black magic, the old goblin was unmoved, but called another goblin, and the two watched it together for a long time, but they still found nothing.

Finally, the old goblin put the soul fragment back on the table, pushed it back to Li Quan, and shook his head at Li Quan. Apparently unwanted.

Li Quan had no choice but to take back the soul fragments.

Seeing that the old goblin went to study the bag of seeds again, Li Quan introduced: "This kind of seed can grow a kind of grape that will restore its magic power if eaten, a total of 1,000 seeds. This seed grows very fast and can be considered a type of miracle plant. ”

"Eat to restore mana?" The old goblin asked.

"That's right." Li Quan nodded and said.

But after the old goblin studied it for a while, he shook his head and pushed the seed back.

Li Quan's face couldn't help but look ugly, and he reached out and took the seeds back into the storage space.

The old goblin glanced at Li Quan lightly, and immediately set his eyes on the quaint long sword.

The old goblin called the other two goblins, and they fiddled with the sword, muttering something together.

As soon as Li Quan saw the goblins whispering and showing curiosity, he knew that there should be a drama this time. Come to think of it, the sword he got should have been enchanted. But it didn't work much for him. His main way of fighting is to fight with demons, but he himself doesn't need to go up and face it head-on, as long as a few means of beating the stuffy stick are enough. Even if this sword was lost, he would not be heartbroken.

After studying for a long time, the old goblin turned his head to look at Li Quan, nodded lightly, and said, "This sword is okay." ”

Li Quan's face was overjoyed and he nodded.

And then there's the white gem.

The goblins gathered together and touched the gem, and after a while, I don't know what it stimulated, the gem suddenly emitted layers of golden light, illuminating all the surrounding objects immediately dyed with a layer of golden light, attracting the attention of the goblins in the hall.

Seeing this scene, the goblins all showed surprise on their faces, including the old goblin's expression, and his eyes were full of curiosity.

Li Quan immediately recognized that this was the Holy Light.

It was clear that the gem he had scavenged from the tribal priest contained some holy light, which had been stimulated by the elves by some means.

After the light disappeared, the old goblin nodded at Li Quan, and put down the gem with satisfaction.

And finally, the dagger.

Li Quan emphasized: "This dagger has slain dragons, I don't know if you have found the remaining dragon blood on it." ”

The old goblin was obviously stunned when he heard this, and the other goblins next to him immediately came over. After studying it for a while, they found that the dagger did indeed have the breath of a dragon on it.

But what really interested the elves was a toxin left over from it. When the old goblin saw it, his wrinkled old face couldn't help but show a hint of fear.

The dagger goblins also took it.

Eventually, the seeds and soul fragments were returned to Li Quan, and the goblins were left with swords, gems, and daggers.

But the price given is not particularly high.

At least, it is still far from Li Quan's psychological expectations.

Li Quan couldn't help but curse a dead profiteer in secret, he had long expected this possibility.

Before leaving the door, Li Quan turned back and asked, "Do you accept gold here?" ”

……

In the end, it was Li Quan who took out a large amount of Azeroth gold coins in exchange for a lot of gold Galleons. At first, he only thought about pawning valuables, but he forgot that this was the most direct way. Although the two world currencies are not in use, the value of gold itself is still there, thanks to the gold standard. These gold coins, which depict patterns that the elves cannot understand, are still gold of full value in the eyes of the elves.

The elves undoubtedly prefer gold to swords, gems, and daggers of unknown significance.

Before leaving, the old goblin also said hello: "Looking forward to your next visit." "It seems that these things that Li Quan took out made the goblins very satisfied.

"Next time? Dead profiteer, do you want to have a next time? Li Quan gritted his teeth secretly: "Next time...... Next time, this is the bank. ”

When he walked out of Gringotts, he already had a large amount of gold galleons in Li Quan's storage space. Even if it is not as good as the property left to Harry by Harry Potter's parents, it can be regarded as a small net worth.

What's next? Of course, I went to the big purchase.

Li Quan wants to buy himself a suit first to cooperate with the next plan.

He first walked into a shop that sold wizards' robes. Under the warm hospitality of the female shopkeeper, Mrs. Morkin, Li Quan tried several pieces one after another, and finally he chose a black robe with very loose gold edges.

It is said that this is the latest model of the year, and it has the magic effect of automatic ironing, self-healing, and constant temperature in all seasons.

When Li Quan walked out after entering the locker room and putting it on, the whole person immediately looked a little more mature.

Li Quan was very satisfied and paid a sum of money happily. The money was just a drop in the bucket for the gold gallons he held. Li Quan would not grieve himself for such a small amount of money, and he had to wear the best clothes.

Walking out of Madame Morkin's robe store, Li Quan already had a bit of the appearance of those male wizards on the road. Then he walked into the bookstore next door and asked the clerk for a bunch of miscellaneous books, dozens of them, most of which were related to potions and magical plants. It cost a few hundred more Galleons for this.

The Blotte Bookstore sells mostly junior wizarding books, mainly for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As soon as the clerk looked at Li Quan's age, he judged that Li Quan was not a junior student, and these books should have been needed for a long time. But since Li Quan wants to buy it, of course the clerk won't stop selling it.

After paying, Li Quan threw all the books into the storage space, and a whole pile of books immediately disappeared from the table. Under the curious eyes of the clerk, Li Quan didn't explain, so he went out directly and walked into the store next door.

This is an Ollivanders wand shop that specializes in wands, and as soon as he entered the door, Li Quan smelled that the air was filled with a strong smell of plants. There are many different kinds of woods used to create wands, and there are many different materials for the core of the wand. It is said that each wand will actively choose its owner. Li Quan was curious, what kind of wand would he get?

Seeing Li Quan walk in, Mr. Ollivander, the shopkeeper who was talking to a customer, confessed, and immediately greeted him with a spring breeze: "Welcome! This gentleman is very faceless, is he here to pick out the wand? ”
