Hogwarts on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 26 Gringotts and this great era

Gringotts.

A VIP room with a slightly strange layout.

The reason why I say it is strange is because it is different from the layout of VIP rooms in most banks. In the middle of the room is a small circular platform with high steps.

At this time, a dark-faced goblin was waving his slender arms and anxiously urging the waiter beside him.

"Are the tea and biscuits ready? Come on, come on, don't wait, time is money. Oh my God, they are already here."

Along with the distortion of light, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared on the small circular platform.

"Dear Mr. Dumbledore, welcome to Gringotts. Is there anything I can do for you?"

The goblin bowed deeply, his pointed beard almost touching the floor.

As the most powerful wizard of this era and the principal of Hogwarts, Dumbledore is undoubtedly one of the most powerful people in the wizarding world in terms of personal wealth.Although many people speculate that a large part of his wealth comes from the spoils obtained after defeating Grindelwald.

For the goblins, the most intuitive feeling is that almost every time Dumbledore visits Gringotts, it means another commission contract with considerable income.

"Maybe I will disappoint you this time. The customer this time is not me."

Dumbledore placed the shabby little cloth bag in his hand on the metal tray aside and shrugged.

"Please help this Miss Elena Kaslana exchange currency so that she can purchase some supplies for school in the future."

Through the message delivered by Professor McGonagall and his observations, Dumbledore did not mention any orphan sponsorship funds again. He pointed his hand at Elena, who was still standing on the small round platform and looked around, and explained to the goblin.

"It's just about currency exchange. Don't you want to go to the vault and have a look?"

The goblin's voice became more rapid and sharp, and Elena noticed that its two slender hands were tightly intertwined, obviously particularly entangled.

"No, it's just an exchange." Dumbledore smiled and shook his head.

After getting Dumbledore's reply, the goblin's excited face almost collapsed instantly. You must know that he paid a lot of price in order to seize this opportunity to receive Dumbledore.

It originally thought that it could earn a good commission like its previous partners.

The goblin carefully looked at the little witch in front of him, who looked about ten years old, and showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Uh, okay. My name is Gallywix, Miss Elena. Please follow me here."

However, as the top salesman of the only bank in the magical world, Vickers quickly adjusted his mentality.

With an impeccable bow, Vickers led the two into a tall marble hall.

This is an extremely noisy space. There are about a hundred goblins sitting on high stools behind a row of long counters. Some of them are weighing coins with copper scales, and some are inspecting gems with eyepieces while filling in the large ledger. Register in a hurry.

There are countless doors in the hall, leading to different places. Many fairies are guiding people coming and going to enter and exit these doors. Elena and her party walked out of one of these doors.

With the appearance of Dumbledore, the noisy sound in the entire hall disappeared little by little.

As if being enchanted, everyone turned their heads quietly and stared blankly at the old wizard with a silver-white beard walking through the hall.

Feeling the gazes around him, Vickers puffed up his chest proudly and led the two of them to an empty counter.

Then under the anxious and excited gaze of the goblin inside the counter, Goblin Vickers cleared her throat, stepped aside to reveal the silver-haired little loli behind her, and whispered.

"Ahem, buddy, help me exchange some gold galleons for this little girl."

"Just exchanging gold galleons"

The goblin behind the counter showed a weird smile, looked at Vickers who looked a little embarrassed, suddenly let out a sneer, turned his head and laughed sharply at the counter next door.

"Guess what kind of big deal the shrewd Gallywix won this time, helping one of Dumbledore's students exchange currency, hahahaha"

"Oh my god, the future trade prince really has different ideas from us."

"It scared me to death. Looking at his expression, I almost thought Vickers had negotiated a big deal worth [-] galleons, hahaha."

As if the play button was suddenly pressed, the fairies around them showed expressions of laughter and let out a series of mocking sounds.

People in the hall also looked away and went back to their own business. Although they were a little surprised that Dumbledore would bring the new students to Diagon Alley in person, there was really nothing worth paying attention to when exchanging currency.

"Are you still going to handle business? If you can't work, resign and leave immediately. Don't affect Gringotts' reputation."

Hearing the jeers around him, Vickers couldn't help but feel embarrassed. There was a bit of embarrassment on his dark face, and he tapped hard on the wooden table with his long fingers.

"Of course I will handle the business that the shrewd Vickers has told me to do with care."

"According to the contract signed between Gringotts and human wizards, young wizards while in school have an annual exchange limit of ten thousand gold galleons."

The goblin behind the counter shook her head, looked at the tiny Elena with playful eyes, and curled her mouth.

"Excuse me, lady, how much do you want to exchange?"

"Hey exchange limit"

Elena, who was looking at the counter next to her with interest, turned her head and blinked in confusion. It seemed that this point was not mentioned in the original work.

"Of course, you don't think that Muggle currency can be exchanged for gold galleons without any restrictions."

The goblin polished his nails and spoke slowly with a sense of arrogance.

"How can those banknotes of Muggles be compared with the noble gold galleons. Gold galleons can be easily exchanged for all currencies in the Muggle world."

Being able to exchange all currencies suddenly flashed a vague idea in Elena's mind.

She seems to have forgotten something very important, but what is it?

Just as the little Loli was thinking hard, a series of strange tongue flicking sounds came from the counter next door, attracting her attention.

"Oh, Davarishi, Daknemozhitweiche" click here for translation

Several strong wizards with beards were also exchanging gold galleons, and they seemed to be arguing with each other over how much to exchange.

The extremely distinctive pronunciation and the sturdy Nordic appearance made Elena instantly realize where they came from.

"It's actually a wizard from Russia. The goblins in Gringotts are very good at foreign languages."

Elena curiously looked at the goblin at the next counter who also spoke fluent Russian, and let out a burst of exclamation.

"No, Russia, they are Soviet wizards, a rather vast wizarding country. Okay, let's exchange the gold galleons as soon as possible and go to Diagon Alley to purchase."

Dumbledore patted the head of the silver-haired little Lolita who was looking around like a curious baby, and said helplessly.

"Wait a minute, Professor Dumbledore, what did you just say?"

The silver-haired little loli suddenly turned her head and looked at Dumbledore and asked, her long silver hair flying due to the violent movement.

"Let's quickly exchange it for gold galleons and then go buy it."

Dumbledore was startled and repeated subconsciously.

"No, no, one more sentence"

Elena shook her head rapidly.

"Soviet Wizard"

Dumbledore's blue eyes were full of confusion, and he answered uncertainly.

That is, this is not Russia, but the Soviet Union.

A bolt of lightning instantly pierced the girl's brain, and she instantly realized that she had almost missed one of the most shocking eras in human history.

现在是1991年7月31号，而就在今年12月25号，将会发生人类历史最震撼的大事件苏联解体

In just a few years, financial capital would use an extremely brutal method to plunder all the wealth accumulated by the entire Soviet people over the past 69 years.

Because of the lack of qualifications to enter the competition, Elena had not paid much attention to this matter before. However, if it is the magical world,

砰

Elena slapped her hands heavily on the wooden table of the counter in front of her, making a loud noise. She looked forward with hot eyes, and her voice was hoarse and trembling due to excessive excitement.

"Can Gringotts provide ruble exchange services?"

Facing the coming great era, witnessing and participating in it is the correct way to open up the world

Human civilization can never be truly separated.
