Arms dealer from Hogwarts

Chapter 199 Knowledge Is Wealth
"Wait a minute, I'll dig it out for you." Hagrid said, carrying a hoe.

"No, I'll do it." Jemini sighed, quickly made two seals, and slapped the ground.

The ground under his feet trembled, and after a rumbling sound, the mound in front of him was pushed away, revealing a large number of corpses of fire crabs, the number was about 100, and the smallest fire crab was as big as a crucible, and the shell was filled with Gems of various colors.

"More than--"

Jamie opened Sharingan, his eyes swept over these gems, and then he called Dobby: "Put these things away, clean them up, and send all the shells to Hogsmeade house after packing up." go."

"Understood, Dobby will definitely do well, Master Fox!" Dobby said arrogantly.

"Don't hurt the shell. This is to protect animals. It can't be done under normal circumstances." Jemini reminded, turned and left.

"I don't understand, Jemini." Hagrid was a little puzzled. "Although the shell of the fire crab is not cheap, it doesn't seem to be particularly expensive."

Hagrid was right. The gems produced from the shells of fire crabs were not as valuable as the gems produced in natural veins. The goblins at Gringotts did not approve of this thing, and they had a special method to verify it.

But if Gringotts doesn't recognize it, it will naturally not be recognized by the wizarding world.

"First of all, you need to know that fire crabs are produced in Fiji, a tropical island country located in the South Pacific Ocean in the east of Australia. It is also a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Although it broke away from the Commonwealth of Nations two years ago, its relationship with the United Kingdom has always been ambiguous. This is why you can get fire crabs, in fact, fire crabs are very difficult to get elsewhere, you need a special license to do it."

Jemini explained: "The second is the definition of gemstones, stones or minerals that can meet the requirements of jewelry after being cut and polished, and precious ores that do not change under the action of the atmosphere and chemicals."

"And the shell of the fire crab was used as a crucible by those unscrupulous wizards in the past. Even magic fire and potion can't affect it, and naturally it won't be affected by the atmosphere and chemicals."

"So, in fact, in its own sense, these gems fully meet the definition of gems, and the goblins only judge that these gems made by magic are of low value based on the magic residue on them."

Jemini smiled: "But for Muggles, these things are gems, natural gems."

"Aren't the gems natural?" Hagrid looked bewildered.

"Of course, gems and diamonds can all be synthesized artificially, and Muggle technology can completely do this."

Jemini explained: "However, the artificial gemstones are very good in appearance, and there will be no mixed colors or flaws like natural gemstones, but they are not as valuable as natural gemstones, and the gemstones on the fire crab shell are completely It matches the characteristics of those natural gemstones I have seen."

"That is to say, if these gems on the shell are sold in the Muggle society, it will be a considerable fortune."

Hagrid had a shocked face: "You know so much!"

"Of course, knowledge is wealth. The more you know, the more ways you can make money." Jamie smiled.

Since he came to the wizarding world, he has absorbed the knowledge of the wizarding world like a sponge absorbing water. There are too many ways to make money between Muggle society and the wizarding world.

Most wizards are poor because they don't see it.

Although Muggle-born wizards have a certain understanding of Muggle society, they have been in magic schools during the important growth period from the age of 11 to adulthood, which leads to their limited understanding of Muggle society's technology. The knowledge they have is not enough to support them to jump back and forth between the wizarding world and Muggle society for profit.

Even if a few smart guys think of it, they may not be able to make money with it. Some of them will be noticed by Gringotts and the Ministry of Magic, and then sent to Azkaban under the pretext of the Secrecy Act.

It can only be said that there are too few guys like Jemini who can make money and no one dares to provoke.

At noon, when Jemini returned to school, word was everywhere about the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, who had a knack for dealing with the Dark Arts.

Jemini's expression suddenly became weird. Barty Jr. wouldn't have replaced Mad-Eye Moody like in the original book, right?

After thinking about it, Jemini found Harry at the Gryffindor table.

"Are you free, Harry? I need you to do me a favor." Jemini said gently.

"Twenty Galleons." Harry's eyes were very calm.

Jamie: "???"

Young man, your road is narrow!
Opposite Harry, Hermione let out a snort of laughter, leaning back and forth, "Does this count as retribution?"

"Well, if that's the case..." Jemini sighed, "I can only tell Professor Snape the secret of your Marauder's Map."

"Don't, don't—I'm swollen!" Harry quickly smiled and pressed and grabbed Jemini's arm, then he pulled out a piece of parchment from his arms, and handed it to Jemini secretly: " How long will it take you?"

"Immediately, just take a look." Jemini said softly, pointing the dagger on the map: "I solemnly swear that I have no good intentions."

Black lines appeared one after another on the map, and soon covered the entire paper. Jemini found the Defense Against the Dark Arts office and saw the names of the people in the office.

Alastor Moody.

Barty Crouch.

Two names, Moody's name didn't move at all, and Barty Crouch's name moved occasionally.

Jemini rolled his eyes and glanced over, and found that he was eating in the office, sitting at the location marked on the map.

It's really him...

During the Quidditch World Cup before, Jemini rolled his eyes and saw that both Barty Jr. and Winky were knocked out, but because there were so many people present, Jemini didn't mention it, otherwise Barty Jr. would definitely be arrested.

And old Batty searched around in the woods and found little Batty in a coma, but fearing Jemini's ability to roll his eyes, he didn't show anything, but secretly cast the Imperius Curse to let little Batty leave first got there.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he returned to the crowd, he was restrained by Jemini and poured Veritaserum, and Barty Jr. also took advantage of this time to break free from the Imperius Curse and run away.

As for the fact that he found Voldemort so quickly, Jemini was not surprised.

The Death Eaters had the Dark Mark on their arms, and Voldemort would sense the location of Barty Jr. as soon as he pressed the mark. After all, no one dared to press and play with this thing.

What surprised Jamini slightly was that they still chose Mad-Eye Moody as their target despite the deviation in time and experience this time, which was quite different from the Butterfly Effect in the previous two years.

But this is not unreasonable. What Voldemort wanted was to make a fuss about this competition. Even if Voldemort didn't do anything, Jemini would let Peter Pettigrew take the initiative to propose this strategy.

And if you want to do things in the game, the more convenient your identity is, the better. As the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and Dumbledore's old friend, Mad-Eye Moody's identity is obviously more suitable than other identities.

It's a pity that Jemini still thought they could pick Viktor Crom.

After all, for a creature like a potential rival in love, one more person can die, and Jemini doesn't dislike too many deaths at all.
