Hogwarts executioner
Chapter 5 "Survival Guide to the Wizarding World"
The father and son then walked into the bronze gate. When they passed the second silver gate, Allen glanced at the inscription on the side of the gate with interest: "Invite strangers in, but please be careful about the consequences of greed..."
The father and son looked like rural people who had just entered the city, looking here and there. A goblin who seemed to have nothing to do at hand raised his hand and said, "Good morning. Are you here to deposit galleons or take galleons?"
This kind of creature is called a goblin in Europe and America, but in order to distinguish it from other goblins, some wizards also translate it as goblin. A greedy, cunning, evil and deceitful magical creature who loves gold coins, diamonds and other property.
Completely opposite to jungle fairies, Veela, forest elves, mermaids, etc., they are not loved by humans.
"Hello, we are here to exchange Galleons." Allen walked forward with William.
"Well, according to our request, the exchange rate of pounds to galleons is 5:1. Although there is no clear limit, in order to avoid large-scale exchanges and excessive loss of galleons. Each wizard is limited to exchange currency within 1 pounds per year. How many pounds do you want to exchange?”
William's mind moved, and Zhinao calculated that the average unit price of textbooks was about 31 pounds, or about 62 US dollars, which was not high considering how precious wizard knowledge was. The price level in the wizarding world depends on the production cost. Some materials are more expensive and the price is higher.
It wasn't until William became familiar with the wizarding world that he realized that the books he bought were actually very expensive.
Just like "The Daily Prophet" only costs 5 kats, which is about 5 pence according to Gringotts' exchange rate. But in fact, this conversion is wrong. Just the event photos in the newspaper require the use of special magic potions, and the printing cost is high.
In addition, the population of the British wizarding world is only 5, and the market capacity is small. If it really costs pence a copy, the reporters of the Daily Prophet will starve to death.
Therefore, the value of currency in the wizarding world is much higher than the corresponding value of pounds. Wizards will only use pounds to exchange Galleons in Gringotts, but not Galleons to exchange pounds.
Allen reluctantly took out the 1500 pounds from his pocket. After the ugly goblin took it, he pulled the long rope of the bell and quickly changed the 1 pounds given by Allen into galleons in less than a minute.
This work efficiency indeed proves the truth of "time is money"!
"Don't feel bad, Dad, I'll ask my mother to make it up for you tonight." William said to Allen who was distressed. His mother bought a room full of books for him and accumulated tens of thousands of pounds without blinking an eye.
Even the complete set of information and detailed instructions for "Israeli Krav Maga" that William applied for can be obtained within a week.
Now is not the Internet age of later generations. At this time, the Israeli military has not promoted this self-defense technique to foreigners, and only conducts training in the country.
Since Israel is a country where all the people are soldiers, this is actually a training course for reservists.
Allen breathed a sigh of relief after he came out, those goblins always reminded him of the little devil in the legend.
He touched Garen in the bag, took out one and bit it, and found that it was extremely hard. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "What kind of gold is this? Those monsters are too ugly."
Ao Hai returned to his normal state, ran out again and said in surprise: "The spout of the chamber pot is really rimmed with gold. These goblins are really willing to give it a fine gold coating."
What Allen doesn't know is that no wizard likes these greedy aliens.
The short, ugly goblins, their status in the wizarding world is similar to that of a certain commercial nation in Europe before World War II. It has a population of only a few million, but it is good at doing business, making reasonable use of various rules, and occupying the huge wealth of European society.
According to data recorded in later generations, Mustache obtained nearly 1200 billion yuan in Reichsmarks from them, equivalent to 1935 times the total GDP of Germany in 13.
7107 trains were used to carry and collect various types of gold, silver, antiques, securities, currencies, etc. It is impossible to calculate how much of this was taken away by soldiers and officials during the collection process.
7107 section train, what is this concept?
As for other real estate, factories, buildings, etc. that have been confiscated, there are countless others. This real estate, cultural relics, antiques, gold and silver jewelry and other properties, even if sold at a low price, supported one-third of Germany's war expenses during World War II.
At that time, Germany was in the midst of a global economic crisis, causing mass unemployment to reach 600 million people. They were starving to death, but this group of ethnic minorities controlled prices and plundered wealth frantically.
Not to mention the source of this great crisis, the shearers behind the Wall Street stock market crash in New York are precisely the financial oligarchs among this group of people.
So you really think it's just "racism"?
If you think too much, this is a redistribution of social wealth disguised as a racial movement. It is a super big red envelope snatched by a dictator with the support of all the people. It is a European version of "Heshen falls, Jiaqing is full"!
"Sooner or later, you will have to pay back the money if you come out to hang out." William glanced at the goblins in Gringotts and thought to himself: "There is a lot of gold and jade in the house, and no one can guard it. If you are rich and arrogant, you will suffer the consequences."
He did not think that wizards were all pure white wizards like Dumbledore, who could forever endure Gringotts' manipulation of the financial industry and plundering the wealth of wizards.
After struggling all morning, he bought the basic book on the European wizarding world that he wanted. William spent most of Alan's 300 galleons, which made Alan feel very distressed.
In addition to more than thirty textbooks, a holly wood wand implanted with dragon nerves, and an owl.
As for the broomstick, it starts at 200 Galleons, and the Firebolt goes as high as 2000 Galleons.
Sitting in the car, William flipped through the history book of the wizarding world he bought.
Although Aohai can speak English, he doesn't know the vocabulary, so he doesn't know anything about it.
However, he had some common sense about potions, and he conveyed to William: "Kid, what do you want to do with these potions when you buy these books on potions? They are only effective if they are drunk by Qi refiners. For ordinary people, these medicinal materials are... It’s a poison even more powerful than poison.”
"I want to make my own potion." William said, "Why can't ordinary people take potions?"
If potions were useful to ordinary people, there wouldn't be so many disabled people in the world.
It doesn't matter if you lose your hand, just drink a potion that only costs a few dozen Galleons and it will grow back!
Fracture, or comminuted fracture, it doesn't matter, just replace it with a new bone!
"It has something to do with the body. The specific reason is unclear. It is said that the body of a Qi practitioner is very different from the body of ordinary people." Ao Hai paused for a moment and said, "Just like your body, the amount of food you eat every day is Allen Three times the weight, but not obese at all. However, there are many natural magic medicines in this world that can be taken directly, such as the Fountain of Youth, the Elixir of Immortality, etc."
"That's because nanorobots can help with digestion, transport nutrients, and provide special intensive care for muscles and other tissues, allowing me to evolve into a superman." William murmured in his mind.
"Being able to fight at close range and at long range is an all-around flawless defense."
Saving his life comes first, and the cowardly William happily plans his own "Survival Guide to the Wizarding World".
