Chapter 9

"Harry, Carl, welcome to Diagon Alley!" Hagrid introduced loudly to the two with his hands outstretched.

Walking into Diagon Alley, this shopping street for wizards, is worthy of its reputation in the British wizarding world. Even Carl, who is used to the feasting and feasting of big cities in the future, was attracted by it, let alone Harry. This ground turtle has never been seen in Surrey.

As for Old Tom, his bar opened at the entrance of Diagon Alley, and countless wizards would come and go in and out of it every day, which made him feel very nice.However, Karl complained frantically in his heart, does this have something to do with you?Just pull out a store in Diagon Alley and let it explode, how about you?
Ahem, as a contemporary college student from 9102, Carl said that it was not because of those strange buildings and wizards in weird clothes.After all, in his opinion, the aesthetics of wizards is indeed not very good. The divination professor at Hogwarts, Trelawney, dressed up like an old lunatic every day. When he watched the movie, he was really not flattered.

What surprised him was the latest product launched by a magic stationery store - deformed clay tablet. Carl stood at the door of the store and watched all the demonstrations by the clerk.This thing can automatically transform like a boggart, and it includes all the things that need to be transformed from the first to third year transfiguration classes taught at Hogwarts.

Anyone who has attended Hogwarts knows that the most partial person in the college must be Professor Snape, but the strictest and fairest person is definitely the Vice-Principal Minerva McGonagall.She even deducts points from her own college, and she never shows favoritism. As a woman who knows no more than ten Animagus in this century, Karl thinks that this thing should not be able to hide her eyes, and then she will die if caught Upturned.

Emmm, when the professor of transfiguration is replaced by a fool like Lockhart, he can buy it and try it out, but now, we met at the wrong time, disturbed, disturbed, we are not suitable.

Carl, who had seen the big world, was able to calm down, but little Harry looked around like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

"You can buy quills and ink here, and you can buy potions and cauldrons there. Remember these places, we will come back later. Now, let's go to withdraw money." Hagrid introduced to the two.

"But, Hagrid, I don't have any money." Harry replied nervously.

"Oh, don't worry, your parents have left you a lot of property, just ahead, Gringotts, the safest place to store things is Hogwarts, and little Carl will go there to exchange pounds for Galleons .”

……

Gringotts is a white three-story building in the center of Diagon Alley, with a grand gate and doormen in scarlet uniforms.That is the goblin - the most money-loving and most cunning and unbelievable race in the world.Carl thought to himself that these goblins are very good at picking places, and even opened the bank in the center of Diagon Alley.

Although the goblins have always staged a rebellion in history to show their sense of existence, but it was all because of a sentence that Grindelwald once said-all for the greater good.Greedy and dissatisfied with the status quo, they set off one rebellion after another, but they are still not extinct and have even achieved an irreplaceable position in the magic world.The reason is that they control the exquisite coinage skills and the manufacturing methods of many advanced magic props.Every gold Galleon, silver Sickle, and copper Knut in the magic world is made by goblin craftsmen, who hold the lifeblood of a civilized world-money!
Moreover, fairies abide by the strict contract regulations that have been handed down since ancient times. Well, after all, fairies are not human beings. Perhaps their contracts are somewhat different from human beings?
In addition, although the goblins are extremely greedy for property, they will not take away any gold coins that humans have stored in them.After all, this is a self-defeating thing.However, there will still be a situation, that is, when a family dies and there are no heirs, the wealth is still stored in Gringotts, and it is estimated that it will belong to them in the end, because Gringotts underground vaults charge fees.

Gringotts is a sacred place in the hearts of many goblins, because it is the place with the most wealth, and only the best goblins can be sent to work there.

Although the goblins abide by the contract, they will spare no effort to squeeze out the last copper Knut on you. In the original book, Harry Potter bought a goblin named Griphook when he wanted to steal the gold cup, but what was the price? Woolen cloth?Silver Sword of Gryffindor!That stuff is absolutely priceless!

What a greedy and black-hearted race!
But it is also very dedicated, after all, Gringotts did not close its doors in the dark age when Voldemort was rampant, but Karl suspected that it was the goblins who let many terrified wizards save money for them, and then it was equivalent to giving them free jobs. After all, in that dark age, many families were wiped out by Voldemort's two-hole socket man.

Among them, the worst is the Longbottom and Potter family. The Potter family only has Harry Potter as the only child left. The Longbottom couple were tortured by Bellatrix Lestrange and now they are crazy. Still lying on St. Mungo's.

These things flashed through Carl's mind, but they didn't have much to do with him. He would be the man who would smash Voldemort's dog's head off in the future, eh...could it be a boy?No way, who made him the final big boss, with a lot of experience and explosive equipment.

Cough cough, sorry, I got off topic... Carl is currently taking black money, oh no, the British pound obtained by robbing the rich and giving to the poor is exchanged for gold galleons.As for Hagrid and Harry, they had already gone to the underground vault in a cart to withdraw money and the Philosopher's Stone.

Five pounds is worth a Galleon, a Galleon is worth seventeen Silver Sickles, and a Silver Sico is worth twenty-nine Copper Knuts - damn it, Aunt Rowling couldn't make a good calculation exchange rate?This is simply too hard to pronounce, so we can't learn the decimal system of our Great China, isn't it delicious?Forget it, if someone writes fantasy novels, the exchange rate must be a little more fantasy to show the style of the novel.

但是又想了想1971年前大英帝国的英镑汇率他释然了。那玩意儿也折磨人,1英镑等于20先令,1先令又等于12便士。

"How much galleons can I exchange for pounds at most?" Carl was annoyed by the exchange rate, and said angrily to the goblin who served him.

In addition, there must be an upper limit to exchanging pounds for Galleons with your toes, otherwise Hogwarts recruits so many Muggle students every year, there must be no lack of local tyrants.

If there were no restrictions, the finances of the wizarding world would have collapsed long ago.

"Dear customers, because children from the human world enter Hogwarts every year, Gringotts has specially opened a channel for exchanging British pounds for Galleons. If there are no special circumstances, the exchange amount for each little wizard in the human world is generally A thousand pounds." The goblin nodded and explained.

Carl frowned. It was only one thousand, which was too little. It was only two hundred when converted into galleons. Although the exchange rate of the system for gold galleons is not yet known, it is definitely not enough for him to spend. The financial expansion in the game in the previous life exploded. okay.

 If there are any typos, please feel free to point them out, and I will correct them. Typing with a mobile phone will inevitably make mistakes sometimes, and it is in class. The damn Mediterranean language teacher always likes to walk around in the classroom. Sometimes I make a mistake when I panic.

  In addition, there should be another update in the afternoon or evening.
