The Wizarding Journey of Hogwarts

Chapter 89 Gringotts

Bell, who survived the crisis smoothly, decided to go shopping in Diagon Alley with his mother and sister the next day.

As for William?There is so much work waiting to be done, if he doesn't go, can Elena still be allowed to do it?

After breakfast, the three of them set off by flying car.Thinking about it carefully, this is Bell's third trip to Diagon Alley.Except for the two times when he bought the wand, Bell directly ordered Lim to buy the subsequent textbooks and magic materials.It is estimated that Hermione went to Diagon Alley more times than him.

Speaking of Hermione, the little witch invited Bell to go to Diagon Alley to buy textbooks and other items needed for the next semester.However, because Bell was busy learning alchemy at that time, and he was not sure whether he would go shopping in Diagon Alley after returning home, he regretfully rejected Hermione's invitation.The little witch was still very unhappy about this, and she didn't know if she was in a better mood now.

After arriving in Diagon Alley, Bell suddenly realized that he had never been to Gringotts, so he suggested to his mother to go to the underground vault of Gringotts.

Elena, who didn't want to buy anything at first, just came to accompany her son and daughter, agreed without any hesitation.

The three of them walked to the center of Diagon Alley, where a tall and white building was located.

Two goblin guards stood at the door of the building, guarding the safety of Gringotts.As for how much effect it can have...it varies from person to person.

In addition, I have to mention that the goblin is really ugly.Bell felt that his house-elves were much cuter than goblins.

After entering the gate of Gringotts, a goblin in a neat suit greeted him immediately.

"Hi, dear Mrs. Menethil, I'm the lobby manager of Gringotts - Bailey, may I help you?" Bailey said with a bow.

……

Bailey was one of the lobby managers at Gringotts, and he liked his job because it was easy and he had access to a lot of Galleons.It would be even better if those cute golden babies could become his things.

The job of the hall manager is to receive those distinguished guests who have their own vaults in the underground of Gringotts.

As for these poor ghosts who come and go in the hall?
If you have any questions, don’t you go to the counter and ask yourself! ?
There are very few distinguished guests who have their own vaults.For the longest time, Bailey didn't receive a single guest for a whole week, and just drank tea and read newspapers every day.

But that doesn't mean the job is easy.In this role, Bailey never let up a day.He has to take good care of himself every day, so as not to allow the distinguished guests any chance to criticize.

You know, in order to be promoted to the lobby manager, he worked hard for a long time, defeated several competitors, and even had to pay some golden babies for this, before he finally got the job.If he was replaced by other goblins because of his momentary negligence, he would regret it enough to throw himself into the river.

……

"Yes, I want to go to the underground vault."

Elena took out a key made of gold and handed it to Bailey.

Bailey took the key and checked it carefully before returning the key to Elena.

"Please come this way."

Under the leadership of Bailey, the three got into a mine cart.As soon as Bailey pulled the handle on the mine cart, the mine cart rushed out quickly.

The underground of Gringotts is very complicated. If Bell is left here and asked not to use magic, Bell, who is a bit road-crazy, probably will never want to go out in his life.

Sitting on a bumpy minecart is a bit like riding a roller coaster.Bell didn't like this feeling, but Shanna found it very interesting.

Bell looked up at the underground of Gringotts, and felt a little bored after a while.As far as the eye can see, except for the dark cave, it is still a dark cave.Perhaps in order to increase the safety of the underground labyrinth, these caves were built almost exactly the same.

After about 20 minutes, I don't know how far it went underground. Bell was almost falling asleep, and the mine car finally stopped.

After getting off the car, a huge stone door appeared in front of them, which looked very solid.Bell could feel the strong magic fluctuations emanating from the stone gate, presumably the stone gate must have been cast with powerful protective magic.

"By the way, haven't you thought about improving some user experience?"

Bell rubbed his butt and back, and asked the goblin beside him.The experience just now is really not good.

"What do you mean?"

Bailey looked at Bell with some puzzlement.

"Mine cart, the experience of sitting up is not very good, have you ever thought about switching to a speeding car?"

At the same time as making comments, he also did not forget to advertise his own speeding car to open up the market. Bell silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart, and at the same time firmly remembered his speech just now.

Next time William complains to him again, if he dislikes him and doesn't care about things, he can use what happened today to blame his father.

You know he is only a 12-year-old baby!How can it be possible to understand those markets, transactions, and the like!
"This is not something I can decide, but I will respond to your request to the above."

Bailey said, and took the key from Elena again.

Walking to the gate, Bailey tapped with his fingers in a certain order.The magic power spread from his fingers along the gate, and then at the lower part of the gate, a keyhole appeared.

Bailey inserted the key into it and twisted lightly, and the door slowly opened amidst a "rumbling~" sound.

Standing outside the door and looking in, all you can see is darkness, and you can't see anything else.

Bell followed Elena into the door, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared, making his eyes a little uncomfortable.

In the wide vault, there are piles of Galleons and all kinds of gems, which will give people a very shocking feeling at first sight.

"How is it? Our treasury is amazing!"

Elena watched her children proudly, anticipating their reaction.

Unfortunately, neither Bell nor Shanna had much reaction.

After the initial shock, Shanna quickly became nonchalant.In the little girl's mind, no amount of gold can compare to a hair of her brother's hair.

Bell, on the other hand, turned around in the vault, looked around carefully, and nodded.

"Yes, nothing useful is left here to eat ashes."

Elena was speechless, she really wanted to pry open Bell's head and see what was inside.

Why is there nothing useful?Are so many Galleons not useful enough?You must know that there are so many subordinates in the family now, and the annual spending is less than one-tenth of that here.

After the three casually grabbed some Galleons in the vault, they returned to the ground in the mine cart.After leaving Gringotts, Shanna tilted her head and asked her brother curiously.

"Brother, why are there so many goblins in Gringotts?"

"Because Gringotts is run by goblins, goblins basically gather to work in Gringotts."

"But why did we hand over Gallon to the goblins for safekeeping? I heard that goblins are very greedy for money. What if they take our money and don't return it to us?"

Bell smiled disdainfully.

"No? Shanna, you must know that wizards are the overlords of the wizarding world. We are in an absolute dominant position, and other creatures depend on us to survive. If goblins dare to take money from wizards and refuse to pay back, angry wizards We can wipe them out in a few days. As long as we can keep ourselves strong, we will never need to worry about the goblins making trouble. No matter how greedy they are and how much they love gold coins, as long as we don’t want to die, we can I can only hand it over obediently."

Many people wonder why the only bank in the wizarding world is managed by goblins. Aren't wizards afraid of being controlled by goblins?

The answer is: 'Not afraid!Who is afraid of their watchdog? '

Powerful wizards don't care about money at all.

To give a simple example, Voldemort never worried that he was short of money to spend, and returning to Gringotts was like coming home.All the goblins here are talented, they speak nicely, and most importantly, they are all very enthusiastic.As long as he tells the goblins about his little troubles, even though they don't look very good, but they are very kind-hearted, they will all scramble to stuff a lot of gold Galleons into his pockets , don’t want it.

Where did the money come from?
Who cares?Who dares to care! ?

Weak wizards care about money, but unfortunately they can't do anything.

Wizards could of course choose to build their own bank.But let's not talk about how much manpower and material resources it will cost to build a defense facility like Gringotts' underground labyrinth, so what if Gringotts is handed over to wizards to operate?If you don't lose all your underpants, you are considered excellent.

You know, Hogwarts doesn't teach finance.

As for arranging wizards to study finance?
Only a wizard with a brain damage would do that kind of thing.If you have the time in the United States to study finance, why not spend more time learning magic?Isn't it delicious to make yourself stronger?What if he becomes as strong as Dumbledore if he is not careful?Do you want anything then?
