Chapter 323: Gringotts

As far as the eye can see, Diagon Alley is full of all kinds of shops.

Various types of pots, magic materials, magic pets, magic robes, binoculars, magic books, scrolls, potion bottles, and all kinds of strange items, some things can't even be seen at a glance by a well-informed existence like Su Zimo.

Walking from the street to the end of the alley, and glancing at the categories mentioned in the letter, Su Zimo found that the money he brought was far from enough for the textbooks he needed to buy this year, as well as some necessary things, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"It seems that before you make a formal purchase, you have to get a little money first."

Fortunately, Diggory's family are all wizards, and in Gringotts, there is naturally an exclusive treasury, which also saves Su Zimo a lot of trouble.

Gringotts is located in the middle of Diagon Lane, near the intersection with Tumbling Lane, is a tall white marble building, and from the bronze gate, up the white marble staircase, you can see the famous verse on the silver gate:

Please come in, stranger, but watch out.

What will happen to insatiable greed?

Blindly ask for it, get it for nothing.

The most severe punishment will be imposed.

So if you want to take it from our underground vault.

A wealth that never belonged to you.

Thief, you've been warned.

Beware of not the treasure, but the retribution!

Next to the gate, stood a figure dressed in a scarlet and gold-encrusted uniform.

Although the name of this creature in the Harry Potter universe is Elf, both their appearance and body shape and their habits are very similar to a certain creature in most Western works.

That's – goblins!

The goblin in front of him was only about a little more than a meter, with a dark face with intelligence and a pointed beard, Su Zimo found that his hands and feet were particularly long, and when he entered the door, the goblin hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Seeing this scene, Su Zimo couldn't help but shake his head, a mocking smile appeared on his face, and said quietly: "Interesting...... The bank opened by the goblins dominates the finance of the wizarding world. ”

Of course, his sentence was in pure Chinese, and the goblins on the side naturally couldn't understand it.

Passing through the main door, there is a tall marble hall.

About a hundred or so elves sat on high stools behind a long row of counters, some checking the weight and fineness of the gold galleons with their scales, others checking the gems with eyepieces, and hastily registering them on the large ledger.

There were countless doors in the hall, leading to different places, and many elves guided people in and out of these doors.

With his memory, Su Zimo came to the counter and said to an idle goblin, "I'm going to take some money from Diggory's vault." ”

"Please show your credentials, sir."

Hearing this, Su Zimo smiled slightly, flipped his palm, and a small and delicate key appeared on his open palm.

"Is this okay?"

The goblin looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "There should be no problem." ”

As he spoke, he shook the small bell in his hand.

"I'll find someone to take you to these two underground vaults...... Pull the ring!"

Ra Ring was another goblin, and then Su Zimo followed this goblin out of the hall.

In front of the two of them was a narrow stone corridor, illuminated by flaming torches. The stone corridor is a steep downhill slope with a small railway underneath. The pull tab whistled, and a small cart slammed down the railroad tracks towards them.

At first, they galloped along the maze of winding roads, turning left, right, right, left, right, right, left, and then right, left, and the clattering cart seemed to know the way, and there was no need to pull the ring to drive.

The icy air whistled by, and soon they were deeper underground, past an underground lake covered with huge stalactites and stalagmites that hung down to the ground.

"It's here!"

When the cart finally stopped in front of a small door in the corridor, the pull ring unlocked the door, revealing only a small pile of gold coins, mostly silver sico and a mountain of bronze nat.

It can be seen that the wealth of the Diggory family in the wizarding world is not much.

In this regard, Su Zimo was also noncommittal, and after grabbing a few handfuls of gold gallons, he motioned for the ring to leave with him.

In fact, the value of the gold galleon is very high, about five pounds per gold galleon, or about fifty yuan.

Moreover, the Golden Galleon is not pure gold either......

If the gold galleon was pure gold, there would be an absurd result, the gold galleon was worth more than its currency, and even if the elves had a rough and backward financial system, they would not be stupid like this.

For Su Zimo, there is still a lot of gold and other valuables in his thief space, all of which were collected casually when he was training in other worlds.

If all of these are converted into pounds sterling and used to exchange for gold galleons, it will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the financial system of the entire wizarding world.

Of course, the goblins at Gringotts are not stupid, so they naturally thought of a way to deal with it.

In fact, if it is a small amount of pounds, it is fine, but if it is a large amount, not to mention all kinds of restrictions, even if the exchange can be successful, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Ministry of Magic will take the initiative to come to the door.

Fortunately, Jin Galleon's purchasing power was very high, at least Su Zimo took a turn around the entire Diagon Alley, and after buying the items on the list, including a full set of books, crucibles, drug balances, a certain amount of drugs and materials, and several sets of black velvet robes of good materials, it cost less than thirty gold gallons.

If you think of the champion of the Triwizard Tournament, there is only 1,000 gold Galleons...... It is conceivable what level the spending power of most wizards is.

After all this, he left Diagon Alley, not trying his luck in the so-called Tumbledown Alley, where the so-called dark wizards gathered, nor meeting the master staff maker, Ollivanders.

At least for a short period of time, with the wand in Su Zimo's hand, which originally belonged to Cedric, it can still be commanded like an arm.

After he had thoroughly comprehended all the spells in his mind, he would be able to easily do even the so-called wandless spells......

"Magicians in the wizarding world, no matter what level, can't do without a staff...... A wizard without a wand can even be knocked down by a few ordinary people, which is simply ridiculous! ”

After coming to the Harry Potter world, Su Zimo discovered that there are many irrationalities in this world...... For example, a wand.

Or spells, for example.

"The so-called magic spell is nothing more than a way to use syllables to induce the resonance of magic in the body, why for thousands of years, the wizards of this world, whether genius or not, can only do magic according to the script?"
