Chapter 11 Gringotts
Chapter 11 Gringotts
Stopping and stopping along the way, Alice and Charlie, one person and one cat, gradually reached the three-way intersection in the middle of the alley.
And right in front of this three-way intersection, there stands a snow-white building with two big words engraved on the top of the building, "Gringotts-Bank!"
Below the word is a bronze door, and on one side of the door stands a goblin in a uniform of scarlet and gold,
He has a dark face, a pointed beard, and is not as tall as Alice, but his hands and feet are extra long. The overall feeling for Charlie is that he looks really ugly!
"Gringotts!"
Alice took a deep breath, not daring to focus too much on the goblin standing guard at the door, but walked quickly along the white stone steps to the inside of the bronze gate with Charlie in her arms.
Professor McGonagall explained yesterday that the first thing he did when he arrived at Diagon Alley was to find Gringotts, a wizarding bank run by goblins, and exchange pounds for Galleons by showing the Hogwarts admission letter.
The currency of the world of wizards is different from that of ordinary people. The currency of wizards is not pounds, shillings and pence, but gold Galleons, silver Sickles and copper Knuts.
Under normal circumstances, 1 Gold Galleon is equal to = 17 Silver Sickles, 1 Silver Sickle = 29 Copper Nats,
Therefore, if Alice wants to buy the necessary supplies for school, she must first exchange British pounds for Galleons.
However, when Alice lowered her head and was about to step into the bronze gate, the goblin standing at the door bowed politely to Alice and said, "Welcome!"
Seeing this, Alice immediately stopped in a hurry and returned a salute.
But maybe because of the politeness shown by the goblin, Charlie obviously felt that Alice relaxed again,
After passing through the bronze door, a silver door appeared in front of a person and a cat again. Unlike the first bronze door, there were some words of warning engraved on the two silver doors:
"Come in, stranger, but be careful
What is the end of insatiable greed,
Blindly ask for, get for nothing,
will be severely punished,
So if you want to take it from our underground vault
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned,
Be careful not to bring treasures, but evil rewards. "
When Charlie saw the warnings in front of him, what he was thinking about was not how many Galleons there were in Gringotts, but the fire dragon guarding the vault below.
Defeating a messenger owl will gain a bit of experience, so if he can defeat a dragon, will he be able to upgrade several levels in a row!
The reason why Gringotts is able to guarantee the safety of the vault so confidently is precisely because there is a dragon guarding the vault under their bank.
As one of the most powerful creatures in this world, dragons have been imprisoned and studied by wizards like experiments, but in terms of combat ability alone, few wizards can win a 1v1 duel with a dragon.
Even in the Triwizard Tournament, the condition for Harry and the other three senior wizards to pass the first level is not to defeat the dragon, but to steal the golden egg guarded by the dragon through wisdom and courage.
Of course, different types of dragons have different strengths. Charlie knew that the dragon under Gringotts should not be too powerful, because it would be dismissed due to the unfavorable guarding of Gringotts.
Later, it was replaced by a powerful Ukrainian iron-bellied dragon with a length of 18 meters, which can be called the strongest existence among all dragon species.
After passing through the second door, a goblin immediately stepped forward and led a man and a cat into a tall marble hall.
At this time, inside the hall, hundreds of goblins were busy on the high stools behind a row of long counters. The wizards who entered the hall were led by the goblin waiter to the idle goblin counter to handle business.
Alice was also brought to an empty counter,
"Hi, I'm a freshman at Hogwarts, and I need to exchange for Galleons!"
Alice put Charlie on the ground, took out her admission letter from her bag, and handed it to the expressionless white-haired old goblin behind the counter.
Compared with the goblins serving at the door, the goblins on the counter are obviously more arrogant, even a little unfriendly,
The old goblin took a look at the admission notice in Alice's hand, frowned and said:
"Another freshman at Hogwarts, your teacher should have told you that you can only get a hundred gold Galleons from here at most every year, right?"
For Gringotts, few wizards would exchange Galleons for ordinary people’s pounds in Gringotts. On the one hand, wizards rarely use ordinary people’s currency. On the other hand, if wizards really want to obtain ordinary people’s currency, there are too many ways.
Therefore, Gringotts generally does not open the business of exchanging British pounds for Gold Galleons, and only Hogwarts students can have such a special case, but they can only exchange one hundred Gold Galleons at most in a year.
And the old goblin just exchanged one hundred gold Galleons for a Hogwarts freshman an hour ago.
"Yes, sir, I know!"
Alice hurriedly took out the five hundred pounds from the bag and handed it to the old goblin.
The old goblin took the pound with a frown, reluctantly took out a bag from the lower drawer, put it in front of Alice and said angrily:
"Okay, you can go!"
After counting the number of Galleons carefully, Alice put them into her small bag,
"Charlie, let's go!"
Hearing Alice's cry, Charlie withdrew his gaze from observing the wizards around him, jumped up, and jumped into Alice's arms again.
When he was exchanging gold Galleons in Alice just now, he had been observing those goblins. If he remembered correctly, these goblins should also be creatures with magical blood.
In other words, if he beats a goblin, he should also be able to gain experience,
Thinking about it this way, Charlie suddenly felt that his goal of gaining experience was really not too small, but the premise was that he was strong enough and not too blatant.
After all, magical creatures as powerful as fire dragons would be kept and imprisoned by wizards, let alone him, just a phantom cat.
Therefore, before he is strong enough, he feels that he is still disguised as a harmless magic pet, which is safer and more concealed, especially in front of some very powerful wizards.
At the same time, he is also thinking about a question, that is, since he can gain experience points by defeating creatures with magical blood, if he changes from defeating to killing, will he be given more experience points?
After all, according to the popular settings in most games, killing can definitely gain more experience,
Also, can the same magical creature gain experience again when it is defeated for the second time?
Of course, these ideas still need to find opportunities to verify them slowly later.
