Hogwarts: I'm Really Not The Dark Lord

05 Artorius: I've Never Been So Poor



The bank in the wizarding world is called Gringotts, and it is managed by a group of goblins, but to be honest, how does Artorius feel that these goblins are similar to goblins?

One by one was ugly like a ghost, and Artorius stood in front of those goblins like a sun god, shining so brightly that he couldn't look directly at them.

Before Artorius came to Gringotts under the leadership of Snape, there were two little goblins in tuxedos at the gate of Gringotts to greet guests, Artorius and Snape walked into Gringotts, and immediately there were goblins. He came forward, and then said to Artorius and Snape, "May I ask what service you two need?"

"We need to exchange for Galleons."

"Please come with me."

"The exchange price is five pounds for one Galleon. You have an exchange quota of 100 Galleons. How much Galleons do you need to exchange?"

An old goblin looked at Artorius and Snape, there was no kindness in his eyes, even disgust, even Artorius' handsome appearance couldn't make these greedy goblins have any kindness.

For these goblins, the pound is no different from waste paper, and what these goblins like is the glittering gold Galleon.

"One hundred Galleons, thank you."

Bell Fast exchanged 500 pounds for 100 Galleons, and Artorius asked after the wizard sent 100 Galleons: "By the way, gold, silver, gems, agate, these Can it be exchanged for Galleons?"

It was written on the original face, hurry up, you poor ghosts are not welcome here, and the goblin suddenly showed a smile on his face, and then said to Artorius: "Of course there is no problem, we accept gold and silver here, and the exchange price is An ounce of gold can be exchanged for twenty gold Galleons."

Artorius frowned slightly, and then said: "Then, five pounds can be exchanged for one galleon, and one ounce of gold is about fifteen hundred pounds. That is to say, if you use the exchange rate to convert, then one The smallest ounce of gold can be exchanged for three hundred gold Galleons."

"Guest, the gold Galleons that can be exchanged for British pounds are the bursaries provided by the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts, so they are exchanged at the currency of five pounds a gold galleon, which means that this amount of gold galleons is provided to Ma Students from Muggle families, so that students from Muggle families can purchase school supplies, and gold is exchanged for Galleons at our exchange rate, not the exchange rate of Muggle gold prices."

Artorius frowned, and then said to Bell Fast: "Bell, how much gold did we bring this time?"

"Master, we only brought about 100 ounces of gold and 200 ounces of silver when we went out this time. I'm really sorry, but if you need it, I will collect the gold immediately after I go back. I can probably get it together within three days. A ton of gold."

Snape and the goblins from Gringotts on one side seemed to be choked when they heard Bellfast's words.

One ton of gold is equivalent to 35,000+ ounces. If all of them are converted into Galleons, then 35,000*20=70W Galleons?

"This guest, we Gringotts owners provide the best service. You don't need to worry about being stolen if your property is stored in Gringotts."

This one of the goblins looked at Artorius and almost had it written on his face, hurry up and put the money in Gringotts.

"Go back and collect some gold to exchange for Galleons. In the future, you will inevitably deal with wizards. If you have money in your hands, don't panic. But this Mr. Fairy, please bring me these gold and silver exchanges. Well, there are also gems and agates, don't you offer exchange here?"

"Sorry, stones like gems are completely useless, wizards can conjure countless gems at will."

Artorius spread his hands, and quickly exchanged the gold and silver brought by Bell Fast into Galleons. Artorius sighed and said, "I've never been so poor."

The corners of Snape's mouth twitched slightly.

But Snape calmed down quickly, and then said to Artorius: "Then Mr. Pendragon, I think we should go, now we need to prepare the items you need for admission.

"Okay, sorry, Professor Snape."

Artorius and Bellfast held a dragon skin purse presented by the goblin, inside which was cast the No Trace Stretching Curse, the space was not large, and it was just right for storing the thousands of Galleons that Artorius had exchanged.

"So now we need to pick out a wand for you first."

Snape took Artorius to a wand shop.

Looking in through the window, there is a lonely wand on the faded purple cushion, and the gold lettering on the door has peeled off. It reads: "Ollivander, made since 382 BC Excellent Wand".

Snape took Artorius into the wand shop. A healthy old man looked at Snape and said, "Long time no see, Professor Snape, birch, snake's nerve core, thirteen and a half inches long."

"Long time no see Mr. Ollivander, your memory is as good as ever."

"I will remember every wizard who came here to buy wands and the wands they bought. Professor Snape, are you bringing Hogwarts freshmen to buy wands today?"

"Yes."

Snape still spoke in that cold voice, even the tone of his speech remained the same from beginning to end.

"This handsome little gentleman is what you need a wand for, isn't it?"

"Yes, Mr. Ollivander, I need a wand."

"Of course, every wizard will have his own wand. This wand will be the wizard's best friend, but it is not easy to choose a suitable wand. Every wand will choose its own wizard. , so I need to choose a wand for you that suits you, so which hand do you like to use?"

Ollivander asked Artorius with a tape measure in his hand. Obviously, he needed Artorius' physical data before he could choose a suitable wand for Artorius.
