super pocket watch

Chapter 32 Gringotts

【Happy May Day everyone, thank you!】

Tang Bai was wearing a black turtleneck sweater and jeans and was standing on a winding street with no end in sight. The sky was slightly gloomy, the cobblestone streets were filled with moisture after the rain, and there was a faint feeling in the air.

Breathing into the chest with a bit of chill, it gave people a cold feeling, and at the same time, Tang Bai's head cleared, and he felt relaxed and happy.

Compared with the air in today's world that has experienced all kinds of pollution, the air here is so clean and fresh that it is intoxicating.

The area where Tang Bai is currently located is the very beginning of the Harry Potter world's protagonist's legendary experience - Diao Palace Road, also known as Diagon Alley.

The time is about three months before the story officially begins.

Tang Bai looked at his pocket watch. The hands of the pocket watch showed that he had stayed here for about three days. Using the pocket watch three times in a row also made Tang Bai understand more about its function, and it was no longer as superficial as at the beginning.

Let's not talk about the earth-shaking changes in his body, but just in terms of its role in being able to enter various fantasy worlds, the same copper coin stays in different worlds for completely different times. Tang Bai secretly speculated in his heart that the situation in this building was caused by

Yes, it should be related to the length of time span in that fantasy world.

In the world of Harry Potter, the time span that accompanies the growth of the protagonist is nearly twenty years.

Diagon Alley, strictly speaking, is a commercial street that belongs entirely to wizards. There are all kinds of wizard-related shops here. Whether it is potions, books, entertainment and sporting goods, you can find everything here. Only in Tang Bai's

In his eyes, the surroundings seemed slightly empty.

There were no cries around, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, which seemed very depressed. Tang Bai walked along the street, and most of the people he met were in a hurry, with gloomy and dignified faces. When he passed by passers-by,

, you can see the deep vigilance and tension in each other's eyes!

Thinking about the time when he entered, Tang Bai suddenly felt enlightened.

According to the development of the story in his memory, the time Tang Bai entered at this moment was exactly the time period when Voldemort and his Death Eaters were wreaking havoc. At this moment, the Potters were not dead yet, and the protagonist of this world, Harry Potter, was also

He has not yet become the so-called savior.

In this era where Death Eaters and the Imperius Curse are raging, trust between people has been reduced to a freezing point. Except for their own family members and closest friends, people always have strong vigilance and doubts about others. Most people

Most of the time, people would rather stay at home than go out easily.

If he had a choice, Tang Bai would not choose to enter this turbulent time period, but he had zero experience in the Harry Potter world, and the copper coins in his hand could only enable him to enter this initial time period.

Tang Bai stopped in front of a snow-white building. Compared with the nearby shops, this building stood out from the crowd and was easy to find. This was one of Tang Bai's destinations on this trip, and it could be called

The most famous wizarding bank in the Harry Potter world - Gringotts.

Tang Bai's purpose is very clear. He knows the purpose of coming to this world. He doesn't need to have any friendship with the protagonists of this world. What he needs is the various potion materials in this world. He has matured for this.

In the world of commercial chains, the easiest way to obtain these potion materials is naturally to spend money to buy them.

The pure gold coins collected from the tinderbox world were too large in amount, and Tang Bai was worried that they would be too eye-catching, so he only dared to sell a small part of them, and the rest were temporarily placed in the mirror world built by the mirror spirit.

Inside. According to the plan discussed by Tang Bai and Jing Ling when they entered this world, they just took it all out this time and exchanged it for the currency of this world.

After stepping up the white steps, the two goblins in scarlet-gold uniforms standing in front of the bronze door bowed deeply to him.

Stepping through the first door, the second door is silver-white. The following eye-catching words are engraved on the door leaf:

Walking through the second silver door and entering the spacious marble hall, Tang Bai saw at a glance a hundred or so dwarf-like goblins, sitting behind the long counter and scribbling notes in the large ledger. Some were weighing coins with scales.

Some use eyepieces to detect gemstones.

Tang Bai scanned it and found that there were many doors facing other directions around him.

"Sir, what can I do for you?" A goblin walked up to Tang Bai and bowed respectfully and asked.

"I want to exchange gold coins for some gold galleons." Tang Bai nodded and said.

"Please follow me." The goblin led Tang Bai to a counter, whispered a few words to the goblin inside the counter, then bowed to Tang Bai again, then turned and left. The goblin on the counter flexed her long fingers.

, gently tapped the tabletop of the counter, and the entire counter was instantly cleaned and became empty. Then the goblin looked at Tang Bai and made a gesture of invitation.

This place itself is a magical country, so Tang Bai was not afraid of anything shocking. He took out a round mirror with a diameter of about one foot from his backpack. Tang Bai grasped the frame of the mirror with both hands, with the mirror facing down.

The arms shook slightly up and down.

There was a continuous sound of tinkling collisions, and a gold coin fell from the mirror and fell on the counter, followed by several gold coins. Under the gaze of the goblin, the gold coins fell

Like a pouring rain, it is getting denser and denser.

In the blink of an eye, the counter could no longer hold these gold coins. Like an overflowing stream of water, the dazzling golden color overflowed the counter and fell to the surrounding ground. The abnormality of this counter quickly attracted the attention of many people.

When no more gold coins fell from the mirror, the people around him had their eyes completely rounded, and some were dumbfounded as they stared at the golden mountain formed out of thin air by the golden torrent.

"It's not a creation of magic, it's real gold! ... The purity is also good... Hmm, it seems to have a history." The goblin in charge of Tang Bai took a few gold coins into his hand and looked at them, murmuring.

whispered.

The goblins who work in Gringotts are almost all masters at identifying gold coins and works of art! They can accurately identify the color of various minerals, the age of the works of art, and their value.

.It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to deceive these goblins in these aspects.

"According to the exchange ratio between gold galleons and Muggle currency, one gold galleung can be exchanged for five pounds, while one gram of gold can be exchanged for seven pounds. The weight of the gold you have here is about seven tons, leaving aside some small changes.

, you can get 11.17 million gold galleons."
