Wanjie: Starting from the Back Room

No one can resist the charm of Diagon Alley, which is full of mysterious colors in the chaos.

A cobblestone road leads to the depths of the alley, with magic shops on both sides. Many traditional wizards wearing wizard robes and wizard hats are walking on the road, and there are also people wearing modern clothes. They are mixed together and look very harmonious.

Yang Tao looked at the building at the deepest part, Gringotts Wizarding Bank, a towering white building in Diagon Alley, London.

"Let's go, let's go to the bank to change some money first."

The two little guys who have never seen the magic world now feel that their eyes are not enough. They follow Yang Tao and look at the buildings beside them.

Harry seemed a little nervous. He reached out and grabbed Yang Tao's clothes, but his eyes were still looking at everything around him.

"Don't be nervous, Harry, this is the place that belongs to you. Also... don't grab my pants, I don't have a belt."

Hearing Yang Tao's words, Harry quickly let go of his hand and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I... I'm a little nervous."

"It's okay, just get used to it."

Diagon Alley is not very deep, and there are only 20 or 30 shops on both sides. Even so, Diagon Alley is already the largest wizard shopping market in the UK and even in Europe.

There is no way, the total number of wizards is here.

It's not the beginning of the semester now, and there are many wizards in Diagon Alley, but there are not many children.

Conan is very curious about the magic world, and at the same time he is thinking about the impact of magic on the whole world.

"Where are we going to change money?"

"Of course it's the bank!"

Conan was stunned for a moment and then asked: "Bank? Does the magic world also have a sound financial system?"

A magic world with a sound financial system and a magic world without a financial system are completely two concepts.

"It can't be said to be sound... You'll know when you see it later."

Soon the three of them arrived at the door of Gringotts Bank.

The bronze door of Gringotts shone in the sunlight.

Conan looked at the Gringotts building, which looked like a child's building blocks. He couldn't stand the twisted house.

He asked with a tangled face: "Are the aesthetics of people in the wizarding world so twisted?"

"Who knows... I will definitely help the goblins to redecorate it when I have time."

Yang Tao said with a smile. He felt more uncomfortable than Conan when he saw the building of Gringotts.

How can there be a crooked building? ?

However, the few of them quickly put the building behind them. When they approached the door of Gringotts, two goblin guards in scarlet and gold uniforms stood at the door and bowed slightly to them.

"Welcome to the wizard bank Gringotts."

Yang Tao nodded gently and walked into the door. Conan approached Yang Tao and lowered his voice and asked: "Were those not human beings just now?"

"They are goblins. Gringotts is the only bank in the magical world run by goblins. You can deposit money or rent a vault."

Conan showed an incredible expression on his face.

"Are you saying that the wizards' financial system is controlled by goblins?"

Is it so fantasy?

Not to mention adults, even high school students like Conan know what it means for finance to be controlled by others.

This is extremely unimaginable for Conan.

It's like the bank responsible for issuing banknotes in a country is a foreign bank.

Yang Tao smiled and said: "Who knows, humans and fairies had a war before, and fairies lost, but human wizards did not kill them all, but only deprived them of the right to use wands, um... It's similar to the human world not allowing the use of guns."

"But fairies belong to the magic race, even if they don't use wands, they can still use some magic."

Walk into the gate, there is another smaller silver door inside, and some words are engraved on the front.

[Please come in, stranger, but you must be careful of what will happen if you are greedy. If you just ask for it and get it without working, you will be punished most severely.

Therefore, if you want to take a fortune from our underground vault that never belonged to you.

Thief, you have been warned, be careful not to attract treasure, but bad retribution. 】

Yang Tao curled his lips in disdain.

Go through the second silver door into the spacious marble hall, about a hundred fairies sitting behind the long counter and hastily registering in the big account book. Some used a scale to weigh coins, and some used an eyepiece to detect gems.

Yang Tao walked straight to the reception counter at the deepest part. Looking at the counter that was more than one person tall, Yang Tao always felt like he was walking into an ancient pawnshop.

Although the two places were similar in nature.

He reached out and knocked on the counter.

A goblin poked his head out.He looked at Yang Tao with his small eyes and said nothing.

"Exchange some money."

This goblin is not the goblin in the plot, although it is also pitifully ugly.

Hearing Yang Tao's words, the goblin nodded gently and said: "I don't know, what do you want to exchange?"

"Gold and pounds."

"There are restrictions on the exchange of pounds. Each person can exchange up to one thousand pounds. If you are from a Muggle family and have an admission notice, you can exchange two thousand pounds. There is no limit on gold."

According to the exchange rate, an average of five pounds can be exchanged for one gold galleon, and two thousand pounds is 400 gold galleons, which is enough for a child from a Muggle family to buy some necessities.

And Hogwarts has corresponding subsidies for children from Muggle families.

But Yang Tao always feels that Gringotts is taking off his pants to fart.

I use pounds to buy gold and then exchange it for gold galleons. Isn't it the same?

"It's more convenient to exchange with gold."

The goblin nodded and called a young goblin over, taking Yang Tao to another counter, which is dedicated to exchanging gold.

Yang Tao did not waste any time and directly took out a gold ingot as long as his forearm and placed it on the goblin's table.

"Exchange all into gold Galleons!"

...

When Yang Tao left Gringotts, a gorgeously dressed goblin followed him and escorted them out of Gringotts with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Yang, if you need it in the future, you can come to our Gringotts at any time, and we also provide storage services. If there are some treasures, you can also store them here. We guarantee their safety."

Yang Tao nodded lightly and turned to leave with Harry and Conan. After walking a distance, he told Harry: "When it comes to money, the words of these goblins are not trustworthy."

Harry nodded as if he understood.

"Let's go, let's go to the largest arms store in Diagon Alley first, and then go buy two house elves."

"Ah? Arms store? There are such places in the magic world?"

"Uh, wand shop, for wizards, there is nothing wrong with calling it an arms store."

Harry: "..."
