Chapter 260 The dream built with Galleons and the upcoming journey
Is there anything in the world that makes money faster than robbery?
Of course there is, that is the World Cup betting, betting on black balls~
As the biggest banker of the World Cup in previous years, this steady profit business has lasted for hundreds of years. Relying on Gringotts' wealth of gold coins as the banker, the goblin can make a lot of money every year. Every time there are a few lucky ones The Galleons who won astronomical sums, but after making up for these expenses, the losers can still provide the goblin with several times, dozens of times of income.
And those sporadic lucky ones made those unwilling wizards crazy to the point of jealousy, and when they made bets, their eyes were red, and they bet everything on themselves.
But this year is completely different.
Except for a few people with quick eyes and quick hands who lost their chips before the goblin sealed any game about Ron, the British team, which is impossible to be overwhelmed, should have let the goblin reap the whole field this time, and get a rich and terrifying prize that is far beyond the past. profit.
However.
The astronomical bet of 530 million Galleons broke the goblin's tight nerves.
And after seeing such an outrageous game, except for those shouting money back!money back!Except for those who bet on their favorite team before the start of the game, none of the follow-up people will challenge the upset situation in this brutal game.
Fans of the Irish and Bulgarian teams went mad not out of outrage, but because they lost their minds after smelling the irresistible stench of vaporized Galleons.
As the favorites of this World Cup champion, their fans bet heavily on these two teams before the start of the game, and the frustrated Bulgarian Minister of Magic is probably also a victim of it.
But now, all the Galleons they had gathered were placed in front of them!
The 630 wizards present and the wizards who did not come to the scene but have placed bets provided more than [-] million Galleons. In previous years, this number would double to three times. The closer to the finals, see Fans who start to overweight in hope will pile up a mountain of gold at this quadrennial event.
But this year's golden mountain of successful weight loss is only enough to repay one-sixth of the debt.
I won 900 million Galleons from the goblin at one time, which is enough to buy one-tenth of the gold from the Alchemy Legion of Nicolas. Although it will not make Gringotts go bankrupt on the spot, it will also make them spit out in unison. Nearly [-]% of their Galleon reserves were lost.
Every World Cup is a collective carnival feast distributed by Gringotts from all over the world, and Gallon, who suffered a blood loss this time, will naturally be distributed to the heads of more than a hundred Gringotts branches around the world.
No goblin dared to take the one-tenth chance of being emptied of all Galleons in their treasury to refuse joint compensation. The memory of Nicolas May's robbery of the distribution of Gringotts in England was still in their minds!
What was lost in a legal robbery was not just three or four million Galleons in cash, the damage caused by the robbery almost doubled the estimated loss!
Those treasures that were weighed were directly converted into rags that were less than one-tenth of their original value, and the 500-year-old ancient dragon was worth 20 Galleons!It’s not enough for the feed money they spent for so long. Even if it’s the most stingy way of raising dragons, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the janitor dragon, one or two cows or four or five sheep a day plus a few barrels of low-quality spirits are of no use. Knut counts a small amount of money!
And that's an ancient dragon. There is an ancient dragon with a million-dollar income.
But when the sword and cannon are on the forehead, what can the uncle who came to ask for the bill say?The goblins can only look at the magic mark that disappeared in Hogwarts with tears in their eyes. Dumbledore is not a good talker. Who told you that the heart of the strongest white wizard in England will be bright red?
They didn't dare to bet on whether Ron, a student of Nicolas, would be as virtuous as his teacher. When they saw that Nicolas even Avalon let him take it casually, no goblin would believe that he couldn't borrow it. That alchemy legion that can destroy a country
As far as Nicolas May was concerned that day, the Ministry of Magic of almost no country would help the goblin to resist the alchemy legion, which is hard to resist. They would just fold their arms and smile cheerfully. Propose a series of unequal treaties, for example: because Gringotts did not abide by the contract, the country was threatened from outside, and then cut a piece of flesh from the goblin.
The goblins who didn't dare to bring this group of smiling creditors to Gringotts could only go back to their respective vaults by themselves, and then deducted and calculated the amount of Garen, Xi Ke, Nat.
And the hall of Sirius Castle, which was the delivery point, was covered with a brilliant golden light at this moment.
"Hey, why are there still these glasses?"
Ron folded his arms and swayed back and forth among the neat boxes. He kicked a half-covered box, revealing a pile of colorful gems.
"This is not glass! This is a pure natural gemstone, each one is worth a lot."
"Griphook?" Ron asked with some doubts, this goblin looked familiar no matter how he looked.
"Yes. It's me, sir."
The goblin looked up at Ron anxiously, "This is really a gem, there will be absolutely no problem, pure gems, each one is worth a dollar"
"What about gold? It's clearly stated in our contract that it's gold, not these rags." Ron folded his hands and smiled coldly. To be honest, things like gems are not too expensive in the magic world, although natural gems are still It is valuable, but there are too many counterfeiting methods. As jewelry, fake gems are completely indistinguishable from real gems, especially diamonds. Only those who believe that diamonds are forever, a Muggle that will be passed down forever, will tax IQ And buy it.
"But we don't have that much gold anymore, your teacher he... he he he he he took all our reserves, we can't get that much gold now."
The mournful Griphook, as the representative of Gringotts England, who came to send money was actually under great pressure. The old goblin who was originally in charge of Gringotts England heard that the World Cup, which could have recovered blood, had suffered such a big loss. After Qian, he vomited blood and fainted. He was in a coma for almost two weeks and couldn't wake up no matter how much he screamed.
"Do you want to blame my teacher? If you can't get the money, it means you can renege on it?"
"No! It's not a repudiation! No!" Griphook waved his hands again and again, "Each of these natural gemstones is worth at least 290 Galleons, and we calculated them based on the lowest price of [-] Galleons. There are a total of [-] seven, worth .”
"Weigh it." Ron kicked the heavy box.
"What are you weighing?" Griphook's eyes suddenly widened and were about to protrude.
"A pound is worth a pound, let's weigh it, the reliability of this kind of glass haha~"
The ultra-high-temperature flame was pinched in Ron's hand, and the blue light emitted by the alchemy array lit up in the palm added a gorgeous base to the flame. It is not difficult at all to simulate the ultra-high temperature and high-pressure environment through the alchemy array, but most of them are It is carried out on a special high-temperature-resistant base, and this kind of operation has a high affinity for flames when pinched in the hand. Ron, who is flowing with boiling dragon blood in his body, can do it.
I found some alchemy materials from Hermione's treasure bag and threw them in. When the fire in the palm was pinched out, a sapphire that was full of cracks due to the rapid cooling appeared in the palm.
"This kind of rags is worth as much to the alchemist. If there is nothing else to pay for it, let's weigh it."
Griphook, who was immediately dumbfounded, stared blankly at the broken sapphire that was thrown into his palm. The operation of pinching the gem with his bare hands almost didn't blind Griphook's eyes. Although this is not a valuable gem, it shines The luster tells Griphook that this is a gem, no matter how poorly it looks. And it is artificial in front, but it is still the same.
"The alchemy method of using natural gemstones to extract magic power has long passed. This is no longer the world hundreds of years ago. Pull rings. Only gold can have a sufficiently stable value. Gold is the most commonly used consumable in alchemy. Otherwise, Why do you think my teacher still has a negligible interest in gold after he has the Sorcerer's Stone?"
"As long as alchemy can still push our magical world forward, then gold will always retain value, not these worthless glass, which can be made casually."
"If you don't have one, Neville, help me weigh these broken stones."
Griphook, who collapsed on the spot, fell to his knees, and he hugged the gems of various colors that were about to become tattered and sold by the catty,
However, the little goblin was easily thrown aside by Neville carrying the clothes, and these shining gems were thrown onto a large scale for weighing.
The other goblins tremblingly looked at this companion who could no longer pull out the gold and ended up in misery. Suddenly, they shivered violently!
"Wait! Wait! Those gems don't count! We have gold! We have gold!"
"We'll go back and get it again! Don't weigh it!"
"That's Sears' crown crystal! It's very valuable, don't... ah!!! Don't throw it on the scale!"
The goblins only had time to put away some of the non-gold coins as counter-value assets, and those goblins who were reluctant to give all of the gold gallons kept crying and shouting at their fathers and mothers. The terrible thing is that the creditors can recover the money by themselves after the compensation time is exceeded. The terms of the paragraph directly strangled the goblin's neck at this moment.
As usual, even if a creditor came to ask for money, the goblins could still fight the war. Anyway, it was enough to complete the compensation. There were not many wizards in the world who could forcibly break into Gringotts to get money.
Ron, who was invisible during the betting, how could the goblin know that he would show up when he lost money, and this fucking guy is actually the biggest creditor of this gambling debt. Of course, he took a lot of money purely from his black games. Even so, the others were full of greasy food.
I thought it was Sirius who went crazy after being sick, and the goblins whose brains are not working are so regretful that their intestines broke. Harry and his good show are very similar to buying a losing team but falling into hysteria because they are not reconciled crazy gambler.
After several hours of counting, the goblin cried until his voice became hoarse, and the castle slowly returned to its former silence.
Those golden Galleons exuding brilliant brilliance have already fallen into their respective pockets, this solid weight is reassuringly heavy.
But with such a large sum of money, they don't intend to be decadent. There are far more places to spend money than imagined. The purpose of the Sun Knights gathering together is not simply to make money.
"In order to let the sun-like glow illuminate this lifeless magical world! Wash away the depression, and let the new dawn be sown!"
"Let's bring this all out to the world!"
"Let the brilliance of the sun kick off the prelude to our era, and we will be remembered by everyone!"
Percy, who graduated from the seventh grade this year, took over the burden of spreading radiance. He gave up the idea of working in the Ministry of Magic early on. After getting enough money to change himself and his family's life, his thirst for power also became At the lowest point, the longing of dreams is the signpost to guide his future struggle.
The 900 million Galleons earned from the goblin this time will be used to promote Sun Knight's house of cards to the entire world.
The plan to open branches one after another in 160 seven magic kingdoms established by the official Ministry of Magic around the world is an extremely grand and complicated project. Although the money is in place, Percy still needs to prepare for a long time to find candidates and train staff.
But the successful construction of the second house of cards in France has given them a lot of experience. Percy will learn from Lupine and turn this idea into reality step by step.
But after handing over this very important matter to Percy, the others started a new round of busy work.
Now two-thirds of August has passed, and there is not much time left for them to prepare. The imminent Triwizard Tournament has entered the final countdown. Completely finish trivial matters such as certificates.
The sorcerer who was so light that his body almost melted into the space met them again, and after two weeks of emergency apparation training, all five of them learned to apparate.
Now is the day of assessment, this kind of magic that will cause accidents if you are not careful must be treated with caution before you are thoroughly familiar with it.
No one wants to be thousands of miles apart after a certain apparition, but fortunately their "determination" is extremely firm. People honed in the world of black souls are very good at concentration, and they have never been there. Hermione in the world of Dark Souls, her concentration on reading only needs to be allocated here and there will be absolutely no problem.
"The exam is very simple, children, don't be nervous, just like the previous practice, the assessment items are divided into three items, first, short-distance precise movement, second, long-distance stable movement, and third, because of the harsh terrain And choose the landing point in the air."
"As long as you complete these three simple assessments, you can get your apparition license. This is the first time I have issued licenses to underage children, but you are all great."
Wicky Tecross smiled and handed out a few small clip-like things to everyone, "This is a magic prop for positioning, just in case, I mean, in case you go off track, or you are separated , we can feel the fastest, this is also used as a reference for evaluating whether your grades are qualified, especially for long-distance movement."
After they put the small clips on their bodies seriously, the exam officially began. Apparition is an important guarantee they must have in the face of the three finals. Although this extremely convenient and dexterous magic has some limitations, this magic is is an essential part.
"Ron, you go first, precise movement of a hundred feet, see the wooden circle in front?"
With a small crackling sound, Ron arrived at the target point in front of him in an instant. Compared with the elves, the wizard's apparition sound will be much smaller, but without them, they can ignore many The ability of the magic barrier, it can be said that the louder the sound, the higher the strength of the magic, but vigorously performing miracles does not work on apparition.
The next two tests were not difficult at all, and everyone easily passed the apparition test, but they wanted to link apparation to the same level of ease as their instructor, Wiki Tecrosse.
Even if it is only half as powerful, it is still a difficult thing. As Neville, who can only hold a sword and has the strongest output, his desire for apparation far exceeds that of everyone present.
"Then we'll see you at Hogwarts tomorrow!"
They left the examination site one after another, and finally after a day of rest at home, they will return to school early, and then follow Dumbledore to leave England and go to a distant place full of magic.
