Chapter 2968 () Fishing Law Enforcement

To a certain extent, Anne was already very familiar with the cobbled Diagon Alley and the bustling crowd of wizards.

So, this time she didn't need any kind-hearted "buck-toothed lady" to guide her, she easily found the place she was looking for.

Isn’t this?

After a while, she quickly came to a tall building in the middle of Diagon Alley. It was much taller than the surrounding shops. It was all white and had a shiny bronze door. It looked like the one in a fairy tale.

In front of a huge building like a dreamy castle.

That’s right!

This is the 'Gringotts' Wizarding Bank. It is one of the largest, tallest and most special towering buildings located in Diagon Alley!

"..."

ε=(ο`*)))Alas

"I'm back again, I feel so nostalgic!"

()hey-hey

Looking at the huge and slightly luxurious building in front of her, and thinking about some of the 'great achievements' she had done here, the more she thought about it, the more interesting she became.

The goblin guard, wearing a gold uniform, dared to look at her with such a look of disdain, but saluted arrogantly when she entered, and immediately ran in with a carefree cheer.

soon!

She arrived at the second silver door, and then she saw this line of text engraved on the two silver doors again:

——————

Come in, stranger, but be careful

What will be the consequences of being greedy?

Asking blindly and getting something for nothing,

Will be punished the most severely.

So if you want to take it from our underground vault

A wealth that never belonged to you,

Thief, you have been warned,

Be careful not to attract treasure, but evil retribution.

——————

"..."

"..."

At this time, seeing Anne stop and stare at the words on the silver door for a long time, unwilling to leave, the two goblins guarding the second door looked at each other, and then one of them took the initiative to step forward and ask her

While bowing he said:

"Dear little guest!"

"How can we serve you?"

The subtext of the other party was very obvious, which was to remind Anne that it was time to go in and stop blocking the door, because that would affect the entry and exit of other guests.

"certainly!"

(ω)

"I'm here to exchange gold galleons!"

(*^▽^*)

"but……"

()

While speaking, Anne changed the topic, then suddenly pointed to the lines of text on the silver door and asked playfully:

"Is it really safe here for you?"

(^o^)/

"What will I do if someone robs me of my gold coins later?"

(˙o˙)

As she spoke, Annie looked up and down at the goblin in front of her without any good intentions.

Because she was not sure that time in another parallel world, when she came here, did the goblin in front of her participate in the siege of her?

"Please rest assured, little guest."

"We are absolutely safe here!"

Hearing that Anne dared to question the safety of Gringotts Goblin Bank, the goblin, who was also wearing a scarlet and gold uniform, became anxious and assured her in a sharp voice:

"No one dares to steal your gold coins, absolutely not!"

"If there is, we will definitely help you burn him to death!"

"In the name of Gringotts!"

And his words naturally caused many passing wizards to cast surprised looks at him and the little girl in front of him, who was not much taller than him.

"Yeah?"

(_)

"It's best what you said..."

(`)

"Because, people think so too!"

(゜▽^*)

As she said that, Anne winked playfully at the other party, and then, without waiting for the somewhat baffled other party to say something else, she cheered and ran into the bank office hall with a high dome and a huge marble hall.

Then she saw that this place was similar to the last time she came here. In addition to the security personnel wearing scarlet and gold uniforms, there were about a hundred goblins sitting behind the long row of tall counters, looking down from above.

The ground was used to conduct business for the wizards who came and went.

Then……

Further inside the hall, there are countless doors, and many goblin clerks are guiding customers who are also coming and going to enter and exit those weird doors, obviously to the underground vault.

"..."

(=ω`=)

Anne didn't look at them randomly.

Because she had seen enough the last time she came here, she immediately started to scan the faces of the goblin employees sitting behind a long row of tall counters, as if they were looking for something.

"ha!"

(ω)

"Found it!"

()

Soon, she spotted a very familiar goblin.

Then, without waiting for the staff in the lobby to come to ask and give guidance, she ran over with cheers, and stood on tiptoes to timidly ask the tall goblin staff:

"that……"

(`)~

"Rahuook, can I exchange some gold galleons with you?"

(o▽)o

I don't know why, but Annie tried hard to look cute, soft-spoken and unconventional at this time.

(…)

(;¬¬)

(In this regard, a certain bear certainly knew what his troublesome little master wanted to do. However, since he could not make a sound and it was not appropriate to give a warning, he had to remain silent for the goblin who was leaning out and looking down from above.

There was a moment of silence.)

"oh?"

"one……"

"Little girl?"

With a long tone and a deep look at Annie for a while, Griphook thought about it again and again, finding that he had no memory or recognition. Although he didn't understand why a strange little girl could call out his name, he finally did.

Not too confused.

Maybe he thought that maybe the other party's parents had brought her here before, so she recognized him?

But it’s no use recognizing it!

He obviously will not give the other party any convenience in the exchange rate or anywhere just because the other party recognizes him!

"In exchange for gold galleons, right?"

"How much do you want to change?"

"What to exchange for?"

So, after he sat back down again, he asked contemptuously and in a sharp tone so unhurriedly and arrogantly.

"this!"

( ̄︶ ̄)

"I'll give them all in gold galleons!"

(′ o′)

With that said, Annie took out a large gold ingot and handed it to the other party's counter with difficulty.

"!!"

"This is……"

Upon seeing this, I found that a little girl took out a large piece of gold in a grand manner, and then when I took it, I found that it was very heavy. When I took it, I knew it was definitely a real guy. I didn't say anything, but I was shocked.

Immediately afterwards, a trace of greed flashed across his eyes.

"!!"

"Ahem——"

But soon!

After realizing that his colleagues and many wizards around him had also paid attention to this point and were looking over in surprise, the greed in his eyes instantly returned to clarity and he cleared his throat and asked seriously:

"You want to exchange this gold for galleons?"

"Replace all?"

"Okay, let me weigh and test it for you first..."

With so many pairs of eyes staring around, it was impossible to do anything small, so the fairy Griphook had to use a scale and some kind of magic prop to seriously weigh and test the large gold ingot.

“The purity is great!”

"Exceeding ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent...it's very good and can almost be used as a magic material. Are you sure you want to redeem it?"

"All right!"

"Now that you are sure, I can make the decision and give you the highest exchange rate..."

After seeing Annie nodding and confirming that she really wanted to exchange it into gold galleons, Griphook said this seriously, and pretended to be generous and offered the highest exchange rate.

However, he and his colleagues next to him will never say: Even if it is the highest exchange rate, if they turn it around and use it as magic materials to change hands, then Gringotts will make at least 50% of the difference.

!

"You also saw its weight..."

"The total is 7 ounces, so I'll give you 630 ounces."

"The current international price of one ounce of pure gold is US$700. According to the international currency exchange rate, it is about 420 pounds per ounce, or a total of 264,600 pounds."

"Given that today one gold galleone is worth five pounds, so..."

Although gold galleons are called 'golden galleons' and are made of gold, in fact gold galleons are not pure gold. This can be seen from the current exchange rate of one galleung for five pounds. This means

Its gold content is not high. It is just made by the fairies using magic and gold. It looks like a pure gold credit currency. Therefore, the exchange rate is not high at present.

Of course, even if it is a credit currency, it is made of magic and gold, and is guaranteed by goblins and Gringotts, so of course it is of great practical value.

"A total of fifty-two thousand nine hundred and twenty gold galleons..."

"Little guest, can you see if there are any mistakes or omissions?"

"Are you sure you want to redeem?"

After the conversion, the goblin Griphook quickly came up with a specific number, and then he leaned out again to look down at the little girl and asked.

This more than 50,000 gold galleons is already quite impressive!

You know, even at the level of the principal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, with a monthly salary plus various subsidies, bonuses and benefits, the legitimate income in a year is only about three thousand gold galleons.

But now, a little girl directly took out more than 50,000 gold galleons worth of gold. It was no wonder that just now Griphook almost had evil thoughts in his heart.

In fact, if he hadn't been in Gringotts, and if many colleagues and guests hadn't seen it, he might have had evil thoughts just now.

"..."

(`)

However, seeing that the other party didn't do anything bad, Anne couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"No problem!"

(˙o˙)

"Then just change it as you just said!"

(ì_í)

However, she couldn't force the other party to take advantage of her gold, so she suddenly felt a little uninterested, so she could only nodded casually and said that she would do as the other party just said.

soon!

After both parties signed and confirmed that it was correct, the goblin thoughtfully gave her a traceless expansion spell that was cast on her. It was approved and supervised by the Ministry of Magic. The goblin in Gringotts also cast a spell to limit its use and could only be used.

'Gringotts' commemorative wallet containing coins.

And all her gold Galleons were stuffed into the 'Gringotts' commemorative wallet.

"Na!"

(ω)

"Kui Shu, don't you really have any other ideas?"

()

After shaking the small purse in her hand, Annie found that there was no problem with the gold galleons and the amount. After thinking about it for a while, she felt a little unwilling and asked cutely.

You know, she remembered that that time it was this bad goblin who hacked her gold coins, which made her almost destroy Gringotts in a rage.

But this time she came alone, without the kind-hearted ‘buck-toothed lady’ accompanying her, but the other party stopped making small moves?

This point really made her confused.

"..."

However, the other party just stared at Anne and took a deep look. After trying hard to suppress the greed in his eyes, he waved his hand impatiently and said:

"Guest, if there is no other business..."

"Can you please give way?"

It’s unclear what his specific thoughts were, but anyway, after finishing speaking, he had already started waving towards the next customer.

"Why!"

()

"All right!"

ε=(ο`*)))Alas

Seeing that the other party really had no intention of blackmailing her money, Annie had no choice but to curl her lips, then turned around and walked out.

After all, she still had to buy a lot of things, and since the fishing law enforcement failed, of course she wanted to get down to business quickly, but she had no time to mess around with the other party here.
