Marvel World Traveler

ps: Here comes the second update, "Marvel World Traveler" looks forward to your support such as subscriptions, rewards, and monthly tickets!

Liu Ruian left the enthusiastic Ollivander's wand shop and threw the dragon-horned wand into the space bag, and went directly to the bookstore in Diagon Alley.

As a lot of gold galleons were thrown out, Liu Ruian purchased a copy of all the books sold in the entire bookstore.

The same behavior of sweeping goods also occurs in other magic book stores and magic item stores.

In less than half a day, news spread quickly that there was a very rich man in Diagon Alley, and he was also very powerful.

After purchasing all the items of value to him, Liu Ruian did not stay any longer, but left Diagon Alley directly and returned to the bar.

"Mr. Ren, please be careful." Tom, the bar owner, whispered after placing a glass of sherry on the table.

"Thank you, Tom, I will." Liu Ruian, who knew exactly what the other party was talking about, replied with a smile.

In fact, during his previous shopping spree, Liu Ruian soon discovered that unknown people began to appear behind him.

If there weren't so many people in Diagon Alley and the stores I went to were all old shops with a long history, I'm afraid something bad would have happened.

Liu Ruian was not surprised by this. On the contrary, he was happy to see its success.

No, after drinking the sherry in front of him, Liu Ruian pushed open the door of the bar and stepped out of the way.

After Liu Ruian returned to the garden villa he had just bought, that night, several dark figures easily entered the undefended villa.

After the first wave of black shadows entered.It lost its trace without causing any movement.

After a while, a second wave of black shadows also entered the villa under the cover of night.

But this is of no use!

After three waves of black shadows were "swallowed" by the villa.Finally settled down.

When the sun rises from the east, the first ray of sunlight shines on the garden in front of the villa.The door that had been closed was finally opened.

"The air quality in London at this time is pretty good." Liu Ruian walked to the garden and stretched, smelling the fragrance of soil and grass mixed in the air, and said to himself with a smile.

After stretching his body for a while, Liu Ruian returned to the kitchen of the villa and began to prepare breakfast for himself.

"Oh, I seem to have forgotten the most important thing, the house elf."

Liu Ruian quickly prepared breakfast for himself, but suddenly found that he had forgotten something.

Don't look at the original plot, Dobby betrayed his master Lucius Malfoy.But I have to admit that this creature is really a must-have at home.

What's more, a house elf with "avant-garde" ideas like Dobby seems to appear in the entire Harry Potter plot.

With this idea in mind, Liu Ruian quickly returned to Diagon Alley through the bar after enjoying breakfast.

Without spending too much time, Liu Ruian, who spent a lot of money on gold and galleons, found himself two house elves of absolutely high quality.

Generally speaking, the magic that house elves know is mostly life magic, such as cleaning, cooking, repairing, etc.

But in fact, the magic that house elves know is far more than that. More house elves are needed by various families, not because of their life skills but because of their extraordinary magic.

There are even some house elves whose magic may far exceed that of their owners, of course.This does not apply to Liu Ruian.

Even though the two elves he bought at a high price possess magical powers that many wizards would envy, he still doesn't have to worry about endangering his own safety.

In addition to purchasing house elves, Liu Ruian also had another important mission when he came to Diagon Alley this time.

That is, buy a store and become your own boss.

That's right.Just be your own boss.Not for the glittering gold galleons, though.

As long as Gringotts did not cancel the exchange of British pounds for gold galleons, Liu Ruian would not be short of money.

As for why we need to open a store even though we are not short of money.the reason is simple.

During the two days of purchasing, Liu Ruian discovered that the glittering gold galleons were not omnipotent.

Such as scarce magic materials.Magic books that are hard to find on the market and can be used as treasures for your shop or house.

Treasure of magic items and so on.

Want to get these things.There are only two ways to go.

The first is to rob directly. This route is not impossible, but for Liu Ruian, who plans to enter Hawkwarts, the gain is somewhat outweighed by the loss.

As for the other way, you only need to exchange a magic item with a high enough value, or you can also trade it with some conditions that the owner cannot refuse.

Just like the saying that has been circulating in human society for a long time, money is not everything, but without money it is absolutely impossible!

Even in Diagon Alley, a well-known commercial street in the wizarding world, it is not easy to find an empty store, but it is not too difficult to find a store that wants to transfer or find investors because of poor business. .

With a large sum of gold Galleons as a fee, Gringotts quickly completed the matter.

Under the enthusiastic guidance of the goblin who received him at the beginning, Liu Ruian quickly arrived at a potion store called Mellen Watts.

"This is Mr. Mellen Watts, the owner of Mellen Watts Potion Store."

"This is Mr. Immortaled Ren, a powerful wandering wizard."

Under the enthusiastic introduction of the goblin, both parties quickly came to a basic understanding.

One wanted to buy, the other wanted to sell, and with the guarantee from Gringotts, the transaction didn't take too long to be finalized.

Liu Ruian, who didn't ask the other party why he wanted to sell the store, spent 500 million gold galleons to buy the magic store without even counter-offering.

Didn't it mean that Liu Ruian had a lot of money to burn and was willing to be taken advantage of?

Is the price of 500 million high? It is indeed high.

After all, the value of gold Galleons in the wizarding world is still very strong. After Harry Potter won the Four Wizards Tournament, the final reward was only one thousand gold Galleons.

This money was given to the twin Weasley brothers by Harry Potter as part of their starting capital.

As a result, this pair of live treasures opened a magic trick shop in Diagon Alley.

Although there should be help from the Weasley family, how much spare money can the Weasley family, a famous poor wizarding family, have to help their two sons start their careers?

This means that the 500 million gold galleons Liu Ruian spent is enough to open [-] new stores. Even if there are not so many, thousands of new stores is not a problem.

Fortunately, such a large sum of money includes, in addition to the Mellenworth Potions Store, all the finished potions and materials for making potions in stock in the store.

Not only that, the price also includes a large number of contacts and channels.

Compared with the value of the magic store itself, Liu Ruian really values ​​these two aspects.

However, in order to ensure that what he saw was not empty words and mirror images, Liu Ruian also included in the transaction the condition that the other party should work in his store for one year.

To say that this condition is not too much, 500 million gold galleons, converted into British pounds, would be 500 million for me.

This is almost more than the money earned by several small and medium-sized families combined for several generations, not to mention that Liu Ruian also offered a generous salary and a certain degree of autonomy.

For a wizard, a year is nothing.What's more, there is such a good treatment, and Melon Watts should not refuse it.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually hesitated when faced with this condition.

After Liu Ruian's questioning on the grounds of cancellation of the transaction, he finally understood why the other party would sell the store in a prime location during the current peaceful period.

It turned out that a large family was interested in this potion shop and wanted to get it but refused to pay enough.

Although on the surface he did not do anything that violated the laws of the wizarding world, he did a lot of tricks in private.

Mellon Watts couldn't bear it anymore and decided to sell the store at a high price. It seemed that I couldn't afford to offend him and I couldn't hide from him.

Liu Ruian's answer to this question is simple.

Mellen Watts still stayed in the store to work for a year, and Liu Ruian was left in charge of the wizard family's affairs.

Moreover, once Melon Watts' safety is threatened, he has the authority to leave on his own instead of having to stay in the store to face it.

With such a promise and Gringotts' guarantee, it didn't take long for the potion shop to officially change its owner. (To be continued...)
