Diagon Alley and the outside world were like two worlds. The sudden change brought the Grangers back to the Middle Ages. Almost all the people walking here were dressed as wizards, and even the buildings on the street were very retro.
"The wizarding world can only use Galleons, Sickles and Nats. Just now we have passed Madam Malkin's robe store, wand shop and other stores that can sell new items. Now we are going to Gringotts to exchange Some money; I'm sorry, Miss Granger, but after Gringotts, I'm going to take other young wizards..."
When Professor McGonagall led the Granger family on a tour of Diagon Alley, he explained to them many shops, such as tailor-made clothing stores, wand shops, magic medicine shops, Lihen Bookstore and Gringotts, etc.
After coming to Gringotts, Professor McGonagall apologized to the Grangers and left. Today, she will lead seven young wizards from Muggle families to Diagon Alley. The time is relatively tight, so after introducing I can't accompany them.
But Diagon Alley is still very safe, and sometimes people from the Ministry of Magic will come here to wander around. As long as they don't stray into Knockturn Alley, Muggles will not encounter danger when wandering in Diagon Alley.
After the Grangers entered Gringotts, they were taken aback by the goblins coming and going. It was the first time they saw creatures other than humans. This time they came to Diagon Alley was an eye-opener.
Afterwards, Hermione Granger brought the Grangers to a service counter and handed the Hogwarts acceptance letter to the goblin.
After checking the notice, the goblin narrowed his long and narrow eyes and said to Hermione Granger, "Five pounds are exchanged for one Galleon. Students at Hogwarts have an annual exchange quota of two hundred pounds."
Converted to 40 Galleons, the most expensive items among freshmen should be wands and textbooks. Other clothing, crucibles, and magic materials are not too expensive. Forty Galleons are definitely enough for new students. .
In addition, if you want to exchange galleons, you can only exchange them with gold. The British pound is useless to Gringotts. The gold contained in a pound coin is getting less and less, and the pound banknotes are more collected. Go to deal with it, so only the freshmen of Hogwarts have this treatment when the pound is exchanged for galleons.
"Excuse me, how do you exchange gold for Galleons?"
The goblin glanced at Kahn, and then said slowly, "Five grams of gold can be exchanged for one Galleon, there is no upper limit."
This conversion ratio is similar to what Kahn thought, and the gold content in one pound is only about one gram.
However, the gold content of the coin cannot be calculated in this way, and the goblin must also take into account the wear and tear in the coinage and other things.
Although the price of gold fluctuates somewhat, Gringotts' gold exchange business should not refer to the reason why the price of gold fluctuates in the ordinary world.
After thinking about it, Kahn took out ten 500-gram gold bricks from his briefcase and placed them on the goblin's counter, "Please exchange them for a thousand Galleons for me, and if possible, can you sell them to me?" A purse of Galleons."
"Gringotts will give each big customer a non-traceable extension purse. May I ask if this gentleman has any plans to open a personal warehouse in Gringotts?"
After seeing the ten gold bricks, the goblin stood up and said to Kahn, with a hint of surprise in his small eyes; he never thought that Muggles could handle such a large amount of business. Monthly tasks are the best.
The Grangers and Hermione Granger on the side were also stunned. The gold was almost half a year's income for their family.
Kahn explained to the Granger family with a smile: "I plan to buy more magic items, Miss Granger, if you need anything, please tell me at any time, let Mr. Granger buy me a drink after leaving here Enough."
Afterwards, the goblin named Sola opened a personal warehouse for Kahn, and handed him a money bag full of one thousand Galleons; Garen was stored in the warehouse, which made the goblin Sora pay more attention to Kahn.
In the eyes of goblins, the difference between wizards and Muggles is not important, and their division of human beings tends to be rich and poor.
After walking out of Gringotts, Kahn put Gallon in the briefcase, that is, the space backpack, and then gave the seamless extension purse to Hermione Granger: "Miss Granger, this is for you Now, I prefer Gucci's latest briefcase to Xiuzhen's purse."
Hermione was a little surprised after receiving the money bag, but she still looked back at her father, and waited for Mr. Granger to nod before Hermione happily thanked Kahn.
She has just learned that there is three cubic meters of space inside, and it is basically only given to the big customers of Gringotts. Unless the Granger family spends half of their annual income in exchange for gold and then for Galleons, otherwise it will be difficult to have this kind of space. purse.
The Ministry of Magic prohibits private manufacture of non-traceable extended items, and only a small number of items are allowed, and Gringotts' purse is one of them; now Hermione can go to Hogwarts without dragging her suitcase, as long as she brings a A no-trace extension purse is enough.
Kahn opened his mouth and suggested: "Mr. Granger, and Miss Granger, let's split up first. I am also very curious about the items in the wizarding world, but Miss Granger should buy all the items on the admission notice first." items.."
"That's fine. We'll meet at the bar we came to at noon, Mr. Kahn."
Hermione Granger said to him in a lively mood, maybe she came to the wizarding world, and the identity of a little wizard made Hermione feel like a bird returning to its nest.
...
After separating from the Granger family, the first thing Kahn went to was Lihen Bookstore.
Diagon Alley lives up to its name. It is a long and narrow alley. At the end of this alley is Gringotts, and the other side leads to Knockturn Alley. As for the roads on both sides of Gringotts, it may be the exit of Diagon Alley. Is it the wizard's residence or other places, he doesn't know, so he doesn't plan to run around.
If you want to quickly understand the magic world, there are two ways to help Kahn achieve it.
Books and past issues of newspapers.
And Lihen Bookstore happens to have these two kinds, books about the magic world and previous issues of the Daily Prophet.
The books that can be placed on the shelves of Lihen Bookstore are all available for sale. Among them are many Hogwarts textbooks for grades one to six. Lihen Bookstore also gave Kahn a non-traceable extended suitcase, which contained 170 magic books and 100 issues of the Daily Prophet.
After leaving Lihen Bookstore, Kahn went to Slugh & Ziggs Pharmacy to purchase a bunch of medicines and magic materials. Unfortunately, there were not many magic potions made by Slughorn himself. The works of a potion master are always sold out as soon as they are put on the shelves.
On the way, Kahn even went to Gringotts and exchanged gold for Galleons before returning to continue shopping.
After Kahn finishes purchasing, if all the shop owners in Diagon Alley communicate with each other, they will find that it is the same person who increased their turnover on this day.
