Hogwarts executioner

Chapter 15 The goblin is not a white lotus

Landing lightly on the balcony, William again cast himself a newly learned Disillusionment Charm and began to walk cautiously around the house.

Until they came to a basement, where dozens of infrared security devices were installed on both sides of the basement corridor, William estimated that this should be the collection room.

"Aohai, is this here?" William asked in his mind.

"probably."

Ao Hai was a little unsure, "It feels a little different."

William looked at the security device, gave up his plan to break in, and returned to his uncle's house dejectedly.

Before he could master the "Zai Zi Jue" of Apparition and the Nine-Zi Zhen Jue, without the ability to teleport in space, he could only find another way.

"The compound potion is in Zi Jue!"

William set another small goal for himself.

Some of the nine-character formulas are easy to learn, while others are difficult. The ones that can be shrunk to an inch are very difficult bones.

As early as Easter, both William and Fleur got what they wanted.

During this period, correspondence between the two parties was frequent.

Interestingly, Fleur was sent from school via Owl Post, while William chose the modern postal system to be sent to the Delacour family office in Paris.

Although only the English Channel separated England and France, William still chose to let those poor owls go.

Alchemy and potion are very expensive subjects. Except for pure-blood wizard families, many wizards are not wealthy. This has led to the monopoly of these knowledge and products, but this situation is increasingly used by more ordinary wizards. Challenge, so the pure-blood families standing behind the Ministry of Magic always want to change a headmaster for Hogwarts.

Because it requires a lot of materials to practice, William signed a large number of unequal treaties with Catherine, promising to make Catherine a large number of equipment such as flying skirts, invisibility cloaks, magic rings, magic hair accessories, and magic bags in the future.

Seeing this, Allen also asked for errand fees, and even Daniel, who believed in God, asked for a few gadgets in the name of a sponsor.

Magic is a money-burning game, and alchemists and potion masters use massive amounts of Galleons to accumulate. Practicing magic spells does not cost money, but potions to restore magic are expensive, and healing potions are expensive.

Take the illusion spell as an example, learning it is just the beginning, from learning, proficiency, proficiency, and expertise, it takes a long time to practice.

All kinds of magic experiments cost money like water, so you will see why Arthur Weasley, as a senior civil servant who has worked for the Ministry of Magic for many years, has a monthly salary that is not low. Why, throughout the year, their savings in Gringotts are actually There is only a pile of silver Sicor, with only 1 gold galleung in the middle.

Seven children can't overwhelm Arthur, and all kinds of magic experiments are gold-eating behemoths.

William, who is poor and short-sighted, can only bow to the evil capitalism.

Looking at Gringotts' own independent vault, William had to sigh at the huge wealth stored here. The dense underground vaults are neatly arranged, and I don’t know how many galleons are in them.

Catherine and Allen looked at the conversion of 7500 pounds into 1500 galleons, of which 500 galleons were deposited in the vault. In the wizarding world of manual work and extremely low prices, this is already a large amount of money.

A broomstick with a nimbus of 1000 is only 200 galleons.

William took 1000 Galleons and prepared to exchange them for various magic materials.

"How many wizard's treasuries are there?" Allen looked up at his head and the ground, feeling a little dizzy.

The goblin responsible for guiding the way looked up at Allen and curled his lips disdainfully. In fact, they also looked down on Muggles.

Catherine disliked ugly creatures, and her eyes were filled with disgust, but she was shocked by this underground goblin vault.

There is wind flowing in the underground passage, and occasionally a few dragon roars can be heard.

After the three of them came out, they chatted while going to the medicine store and hardware store to purchase items.

Catherine was very interested in finance in the wizarding world. She didn't understand why wizards would hand over finance, an extremely important economic lifeline, to a foreign race.

William talked about the modern goblin war, including the agreement signed after the war.

"It's so stupid to actually leave the financial industry to the hands of foreigners." Allen couldn't help laughing.

Catherine shook her head and said, "Actually, it's not that much. With an exchange rate of 5:1, if there is no limit, wizards can actually counter-exploit goblins."

But the fact is that the goblins are very smart. Although the wizards made a few tricks after the victory, such as binding Galleons to British pounds at a ratio of :, they left a means to make up for the loopholes.

At the medicine store, Catherine pretended to be curious and asked, "Sir, if I want to sell Galleons for pounds, how much can you give me?"

The salesman was taken aback, and quickly blurted out: "How about £1 per Galleon?"

Catherine refused: "It's too low, sixty pounds."

The salesman immediately said: "This is too high, only pure blood families can afford it."

Catherine said: "How about £55?"

The salesman looked at the family of three and finally said: "If you really want to exchange it at a high price, you can go to the Knockturn Alley black market. There may be someone there who is willing to exchange it for 50 pounds."

Catherine said: "The black market is not safe, and dark wizards are too dangerous."

The salesman looked amazed as he looked at the various medicinal materials that flew onto the cashier counter after William cast a spell.

"This kid is so powerful, I think that group of black wizards are crazy to rob you."

William's expression remained unchanged and he happily continued to select magic herbs. Allen stood at the door, his backpack filled with a large amount of alchemy materials.

In order to prevent the backpack from being too heavy, William also cast a weight-reducing levitation spell on the backpack.

When I first started learning the levitation spell, I could only levitate simple small objects, such as feathers. But as he becomes proficient in magic, William can increase the weight of items by changing the amount of magic output.

The counter-spell of the levitation spell is gravity, which can reversely increase the weight of objects and creatures.

After William is proficient in this magic, with a slight change of the spell, he can control himself to resist gravity, and with magic power and wand, he can freely fly in mid-air, and this is the flying technique.

Sending money is impossible, the fairies are not the selfless white lotuses of the Order of the Phoenix

Catherine, who is more knowledgeable about machinations, said: "In a certain respect, this can be regarded as a kind of social wealth distribution in the wizarding world to avoid rising up at the bottom of society. As the only bank in the British wizarding world, Gringotts has too many places This income can be recovered, and behind the scenes there must be confrontations and compromises between the wizards and goblins of the Ministry of Magic."

Catherine, who has seen nobles and plutocrats scheming against each other since she was a child, said: "The people at the Ministry of Magic may be fascinated by power, but there is definitely no shortage of means to maintain power.

Use the exchange rate of Gringotts to appease the bottom class, use the powers and responsibilities of the Ministry of Magic to absorb the middle class, protect intellectual property rights, and curb higher education to maintain the pure-blood wizard family behind it. To put it bluntly, it is the same as the current British social structure. "

Listening to his mother's explanation, William suddenly understood something.

"Obviously the Order of the Phoenix is ​​fighting for you, the wizarding world, haha!"

William quietly defined the wizarding world in his heart.
