Chapter 63: Where About My Garon?
Wizards far outnumber Muggles in terms of lifespan.
Needless to say, Nick Lemay, although he has organized his own funeral many times, although the magic power of the Philosopher's Stone has been exhausted, he is still holding on.
Compared with the Dark Lord, who is known as the "conquest of death", it is really difficult to say who will die first.
The old headmaster, Armando Dippert, is also more than 300 years old, and when he was born, Chongzhen had not yet hanged himself on the old crooked neck tree in the coal mountain.
Faris Spavon was 109 years old when he became a minister, and then he worked for another thirty-eight years, dying several deputy ministers.
Thus, a wizard claims to have been born in the eighteenth century, and after being baptized by Nicol's funeral, Rove now does not even blink an eyelid.
It's only over 200 years old, what's there to make a fuss about?
If the Big Four suddenly appeared, jumped up in front of Rove and said to him, "Hey boy, we're still alive...... That really deserves Rove's shock!
Therefore, Rove was shocked, but not by the age of the old man, but by his name...... Corvinus Gaunt.
As descendants of Slytherin, the Gaunt family has the ability to be a serpent, and they are also well-known in the wizarding world.
But with the death of Voldemort's uncle, Morfin Gaunt, in Azkaban, the wizarding community generally believes that this ancient family is extinct...... I didn't expect there to be another survivor.
Rove is actually no stranger to the name Corvinus Gaunt, as he has heard the basilisk mention it many times.
Corvinus discovered the Chamber of Secrets before Voldemort, but instead of unleashing the basilisk to attack the students, as Tom did, he built a complex system of pipes to hide the entrance to the chamber.
Rove had a great interest in Corvinus Gaunt, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet him one day...... Or in the Department of Mysteries!
However, even if Rove knew that he was Corvinus Gaunt, it didn't help him much...... The application was rejected again.
The boy quickly left the office with Shirley and the others, and as Professor McGonagall had told, he found the exit of the Department of Mysteries, and finally returned to the hall of the Ministry of Magic.
The hall was full of wizards, but the reporters had dispersed.
Instead of going home, they use the Ministry of Magic's fireplace and head to Diagon Alley to buy the items they need to start school.
There were a lot of items to buy, and their actions were too inefficient, so the two sides divided into two teams and finally agreed to meet at the bookstore.
Hermione has gone to the Fantastic Beasts Store, and she wants to buy an owl as a birthday present.
Tonks followed, and with her protection, there were no security issues.
As the two disappeared into the crowd, Shirley asked, "Where do we go next?" ”
"Go to Gringotts and get some money first." Rove stretched comfortably and joked, "If you don't withdraw the money, I won't be able to pay your salary." ”
Shirley blushed, she looked at the young man who was crying poorly, lowered her head, and whispered:
"You can owe it first...... I'm not in a hurry. ”
"And a good employee like you who is considerate of your boss?" Rove Waner smiled and said:
"Shirley, when you graduate and go to other jobs, if you meet a black-hearted boss, you won't be owed a lifetime of wages?"
"Don't be afraid." The ponytail girl raised her head, she was extremely cold, and said with a rare sweet smile:
"Rove, I can always be your assistant so that I don't run into a black-hearted boss."
The young man flicked his finger on Shirley's smooth forehead and frightened: "Then what if I become a black-hearted boss?" ”
The ponytailed girl picked up the black box in her hand, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said, "Then I will take your box away to pay off the debt." ”
"Hey, you're already thinking about my box!" Rove pretended to be annoyed, and made a gesture to say, "I think you are the real black heart." ”
Shirley ran forward, and after a few steps, she suddenly turned around with a smile on her face, and said softly, "Lack of virtue boss and black-hearted employees...... It's also fate that the two of us can get together. ”
Rove and Shirley were arguing and soon arrived at Gringotts.
Any city, a bank, and a tobacco company, will always be located in the most prime location, and this is no exception to the wizarding world.
Gringotts, located in the middle of Diagon Alley, is the oldest building in Diagon Alley, and other shops are built around it.
The whole building is also extremely extravagant, with a Byzantine-style high-rise building towering over the street, and a large dome in the center.
The uppermost end of the vault is made of pure gold, which glistens in the sunlight and can be seen from more than a dozen miles away.
Rove and Shirley walked up the steps, goblins in scarlet and gold uniforms bowed and saluted, and welcomed them into the hall.
The halls of Gringotts are even more luxurious, with gilded marble pillars supporting the dome and walls covered with jeweled stained glass.
About a hundred or so elves, sitting on high stools behind a long row of counters, some weighing coins with copper scales, others examining gems with eyepieces, and hastily registering them on the large ledger.
Rove took Shirley and walked towards a free goblin, they sat down in a chair, and the boy took a key from his pocket and said:
"I'm going to the vault to get some Galleons."
"No problem." The goblin examined the key carefully, then rang the bell in front of him, and said softly, "Gula will take the two to the vault." ”
Soon, a goblin named Gula appeared, and he led them towards a door, outside which was guarded by two sphinx statues weighing more than ten tons.
Gula opened the door, revealing a narrow stone corridor illuminated by burning torches.
The stone corridor is a steep downhill with a small railway underneath. Gula whistled, and a small cart rushed towards them along the rails.
Gula sat at the front of the cart, Rov and Shirley sat in the back seat, and then the cart went down the railroad like a roller coaster.
But it was over after a few tens of seconds, and the cart suddenly stopped in front of a small door.
"It's over so soon?" Shirley asked, expecting it to last a few minutes.
"Because my vault is too cheap." Rove whispered, "The more expensive the vault, the deeper it is. ”
“……”
Ulla unlocked the door, and a puff of smoke came out of the door, and when the smoke cleared, it revealed a small room with a lot of Galleons inside.
"We need to be in there for a while." Rove said softly, "Can you stay outside?" ”
"Of course, sir." The fairy said respectfully.
Rolf and Shirley walked into the vault and closed the door again.
Actually, the teenager is not here to withdraw money, but to save money.
Rove opened his box with a smile and took out a large cabinet, he patted the cabinet and smiled proudly:
"Shirley, I took the Mayflower to the United States this time, and I made a lot of Galleons along the way."
The boy quickly opened the cabinet door, Shirley leaned over, and after a moment, she raised her head and said with a strange expression:
"Are you sure it's this cabinet?"
Rove looked suspiciously, also stunned.
In the cupboard......
Nothing.
Gan ...... Where's my Galleon?!
