Chapter 422: Déjà vu
The owl didn't move, and didn't look like he was going to deliver a letter for him, and the eyebrows on one side of Bai Lang were raised—he was like Dwayne "Rock" Johnson at this point. The owl tilted its head to look at him, and then stretched out a claw, and on it was a small leather bag, and the owl lowered its head and pecked at the leather bag.
"If you don't give the money, you won't go?" Bai Lang even spoke Northern Su, he took out a fifty penny coin and put it in the leather bag on the owl's feet. At this time, I saw the owl spread its wings and fly away, taking the letter he wrote - Bai Lang is now practicing a good round body and gothic body, but he didn't expect that practicing martial arts has such benefits, that is, his handwriting is much better than in the past, from the dog climbing crab claw character to the small block that can be written elegantly, his current book body is close to the willow body, which is also a thing that makes Bai Lang quite complacent.
After the letter was sent, Bai Lang was also trying to get some money, telling his lawyer, Mr. Anderson, that he had been accepted into Hogwarts and needed a sum of money to buy books and school supplies, such as a thousand pounds, and his lawyer, Mr. Anderson, said that he had never heard of any Hogwarts house......
But not long after, he came to the door to deliver a thousand pounds of money, and Bai Lang looked at him with straight eyes as if he had been tricked..... "Sometimes we have to do something we don't want to do, and it's good for everyone to do so." The speaker was a short and fat woman who suddenly appeared, wearing a burqa with patches and dirt everywhere, a pointed hat with the same patches, and her hair was unkempt, but it seemed to embody the meaning of the words "wide heart and fat body".
The witch had a warm smile on her face, "Hello, Mr. Bai. I'm Pomona Sprout, and this time I'm here to take you to buy what you need. ”
Bai Lang also hurriedly saluted, "Hello, Mr. Sprout." Actually, he should be called the professor, but Bai Lang can't remember the plot of Harry Potter very clearly, and he has forgotten that this one is actually the dean of Hufflepuff House. "How do we go about it..... This place is called Diagon Alley?" Bai Lang asked.
Professor Sprout smiled and replied, "Let's take the tram, sir." This kind of honorific title of the British made Bai Lang feel uncomfortable all over, he was indeed not used to older people calling him sir, but this was normal social etiquette. "But before I do that, I'll deal with Mr. Anderson. Professor Sprout pulled out his wand and tapped Anderson's head.
Anderson turned and walked away, "Oh, he won't remember all of this, but he will have a normal memory - you went to an academy, and where is it? He'll give himself a reasonable explanation - as for the contact? It's okay that we have a 'department' that handles the situation." ”
The bar was there, but the people who came and went turned a blind eye to it, and when Professor Sprout took Bai Lang in, Bai Lang saw the strange people inside for the first time. There was an old woman, shriveled and thin, with a pointed hat and rather dirty clothes, who completely embodied from head to toe what it means to be called an "old witch". And the owner of the Leaky Cauldron Bar was an old man, and he saluted directly after seeing the professor. "Hello Tom. Professor Sprout nodded, and led Bai Lang through the dirty and dilapidated bar, pushing open the back door to the backyard, above the trash can, "Count three bricks up on the bin, then two horizontally, and three times on the wand......."
The professor's mouth was full of words, and after three blows of his wand, Bai Lang watched as the brick wall in front of him folded and folded automatically, revealing the bustling street behind him—just like in the movie. To be honest, Bai Lang doesn't have a deep memory of the movie, he doesn't have an impression of the appearance of the Leaky Cauldron Bar at all, and Hogwarts has a deep impression, but the deepest ones are the crooked actors......
The wizarding world is in front of you...... For a moment, Bai Lang also forgot the strange clothes of the people who came and went, and his attention was focused on the strange buildings and those strange objects. "Whether it's the movie or the reality I'm seeing now, I'm afraid it can show that there are only a few thousand or tens of thousands of people in the British wizarding world. ”
Whether it's the shops in front of you or the crowds, just looking at the goods on sale, this society is probably at least tens of thousands of people, right? At least a complete community, in fact, from the departments and families in the book, you can see that with the addition of mudblood wizards, the wizarding world in Britain cannot be only a few thousand people.
Bai Lang followed Professor Sprout, looking left and right all the way, this kind of scenery was so peculiar, he had never seen it in those worlds. "We're going to exchange a little Galleon first - oh, that's the money of the wizarding world, and you can't use your pounds right here. The stocky witch led Bai Lang to a crooked but tall room—a bank that he knew at a glance. "Gringotts, let's exchange money first. ”
Standing in front of the door are goblins, which the professor calls goblins, but Bai Lang believes that they are goblins, which are a bit taller goblins, based on years of experience in the game. Beneath the bronze gate stood a goblin guard in a red, gold-trimmed uniform, who bowed silently. The professor led Bai Lang across the bronze gate, and a few steps later there was a silver second door.
There was a long sentence on the door, Bai Lang didn't even bother to look at it, it was nothing more than a warning not to rob the bank, what else could there be?Beyond the second door, there was a huge marble hall inside, "Can't you see it from the outside? Is it that big inside?" Bai Lang looked behind him and then at the hall in front of him, "Oh, that's an expansion spell." The professor said.
Bai Lang saw hundreds of goblins, all dressed like dogs and wearing monocles, many goblins were writing and calculating, and some were checking the piles of fiery red gems, Bai Lang didn't have the heart to rob, he just felt quite curious. There was an exchange office written in front of him, and there was an old goblin who couldn't tell his age sitting behind him, Bai Lang didn't say much and put the thousand-pound bill directly on the counter, and the goblin nodded skillfully after receiving it, and then took out a bag from under the table and put it in front of him with a bang.
"197 Galleon 7 nat. The old goblin said, and motioned for Bai Lang to quickly take the money away. "Grass! It's such a big bag of money, how can you let me get it?" Bai Lang knew that there were all coins in it just by looking at the golden light in the mouth of the bag and the sound of clattering, and it was gold coins, so the weight of such a pack was not small.
Without waiting for the professor's help, Bai Lang directly grabbed the bag, "This is a gift?" The other party nodded, and Bai Lang directly carried the leather bag on his shoulder. The professor giggled like an old hen, and she tapped the bag with her wand, which suddenly shrank and Bai Lang felt much lighter.
"It's time-sensitive, so let's hurry up and buy things before they expire. ”
