Gringotts was located in the middle of a commercial street. It was an extremely tall white building. Compared to the surrounding buildings, it was extremely conspicuous.
No matter what world it was, a bank would always be extremely grand.
In front of the Sparkle bronze door, there were two solemn looking fairies. They were wearing scarlet red uniforms. Seeing Hoffa walking over, the two fairies bowed slightly.
Legend has it that this shop was the first shop in the entire Diagon Alley.
A man and a demon walked into Gringotts. Inside, Indor was wearing a suit, his head held high and his chest puffed out. He no longer looked like a wretched merchant.
After passing through the second silver door, there were several warning signs on the door.
Please enter, stranger, but you must be careful.
What is the consequence of being insatiable,
Blindly demanding, reaping without sowing,
You will receive the harshest punishment,
Therefore, if you wish to take from our underground vault,
A fortune that never belonged to you,
Thief, you have already received a warning,
Be careful, what you attract is not a treasure, but evil retribution.
These signs were written in ancient English, giving off a sense of age.
The originally calm Hoffa, after seeing these signs, couldn't help but feel his heart pounding like a pail. The first thing he did after reincarnation was to come to Gringotts to cheat money to study. He must be crazy.
But looking at Indor's confident expression, Hoffa could only calm down. Since things had already reached this stage, complaining was useless. Only by playing his role well, would he be able to gain more trust. In a bank, trust is money.
Indor said. "Your current name is Silby Sebastian. You are the descendant of a French aristocrat, understand? "
Hoffa sneered. "You are really well prepared."
Walking past a group of fairies who were constantly weighing gems, Hoffa and Indor arrived in front of the counter.
Indor's lips trembled as he spoke softly.
"Silby doesn't speak English. From now on, leave everything to me, understand?"
Hoffa speechlessly nodded his head.
Indor raised his head and looked at a bald old goblin with glasses in front of the counter.
"This time, our guest is from France. He represents his family to discuss investment matters with us. This is the certificate of Sebastian's family's business abroad."
As he spoke, Indor took out a piece of paper out of nowhere and handed it to him.
The old monster's expression was solemn. He crossed his fingers and looked Hoffa up and down before nodding slightly.
Hoffa also nodded at him reservedly.
Then, the old fairy took out a magnifying glass and carefully studied Indor's paper.
When Hoffa saw that piece of paper, he gritted his teeth in anger. Indor was obviously prepared for this. Perhaps he had already made up his mind from the very beginning to collude with him to cheat him of his money. That was why he deliberately lost his tuition fees.
After studying the paper, the old demon waved his hand, and a demon secretary walked over from behind him.
The old demoness said, "Take them to room 103."
The demon secretary immediately nodded in agreement. He brought Hoffa to Gringotts' elevator. After pressing a few buttons, the old-fashioned sliding door elevator floated up automatically and went up.
Hoffa remembered that when Harry, Potter, and Hagrid first came to Gringotts, they went downstairs. But now, he was going up with Indor. This unknown feeling made him very nervous.
When they reached the tenth floor, the elevator door opened.
Indor immediately bowed at the door, acting like a waiter and letting Hoffa go first. It was to show off his noble status.
Hoffa sneered in his heart. As expected of a professional swindler. Even his acting was complete.
He didn't refuse, and imitated those nobles he saw in the movies in his previous life. He walked down in a reserved manner.
The corridor of the floor was filled with the fragrance of high-class roses. The floor was covered with a red carpet, and the walls were illuminated with gilded magic. It was very high-end.
The demon secretary sent Indor and Hoffa to room 103, and then left.
It was broad daylight outside, but the fireplace in the room was burning. The walls were filled with silverware and oil paintings. It was dark but luxurious.
"Mr. Ralph, look who I've brought this time."
Indor cleared his throat cheerfully and said in a loud and clear voice.
In front of the fireplace, a wheelchair turned around.
On the wheelchair was a demon. An old demon, an old demon with one foot in the grave.
He was covered with a red carpet, his head was slightly trembling, and his nose was as long as Hoffa's forearm.
Hoffa swore that he had never seen such an old and paralyzed demon. This was the Stephen Hawking of demons.
Yin Duo walked over and planted a loud kiss on the old demon's forehead, which only had a few strands of hair left.
A wooden horse!
Hoffa felt a chill run down his spine.
The old demon opened his mouth and pointed at the red sofa.
Hoffa sat down quietly.
Indor walked to the cupboard at the side and took out a glass of red wine.
He said as he poured the wine.
"Ralph, the French Wizarding World is in trouble now. Germany's ambition is unstoppable. This Mr. Sebastian is willing to mortgage some of his family's properties in France in exchange for the protection of the British Ministry of Magic. "
Ralfa mumbled, "You're exaggerating, Indor. You're always like this …"
His voice was as hoarse as a broken gong.
Indor handed over the parchment. "Believe it or not, this is the title deed. Take a look."
Ralph took a look and then muttered, "Delfina Sebastian … It really is an ownerless land." The old demon glanced at Hoffa. "I wonder what's the relationship between this person and Miss Delfina …"
Indor patted his chest and promised, "Younger brother, blood-related brother, the only heir of the Sebastian family. Don't worry, there's no problem. "
The old demon nodded.
"But the price …"
Indor raised a finger.
"Ten thousand gold coins, plus a security agreement. This is the price. If possible, you can get a large amount of land, including the port of Bordeaux. The settlement can be completed within two years. "
The old demon's cloudy eyes lit up and looked at Hoffa without saying anything.
Indor said, "Don't worry, he doesn't speak English."
The old demon immediately started bargaining with Indor.
Watching the two of them bicker in front of him. Hoffa smiled, but in his mind, he was cursing Indor in his heart. This demon was a liar. How on earth did Dumbledore think he was a good person?
Dumbledore was one of the few wise men in Harry Potter's world. Was this demon so thick-skinned that he could even fool Dumbledore … Or was Dumbledore not old enough to be so wise after suffering a great loss from Indor?
Finally, the bickering ended.
The old demon looked at Hoffa expectantly.
With a gloomy face, Indor came to Hoffa's side and whispered in his ear, "Does this old guy have a funny nose? Nod yes, shake no."
Hoffa silently looked at the old demon's huge rosacea nose for a while. Finally, under the old demon's expectant eyes, he nodded with a serious expression.
The old demon smiled with satisfaction.
Indor stood up and cursed, "Damn it, five thousand it is. You old man, even Grandet isn't as vicious as you! "
…
Ding!
Along with a crisp sound.
Ten minutes later, Hoffa and Indor stood at the entrance of Gringotts. A thick gold coin bounced between Indor's slender fingers.
Carrying a small leather bag, he smiled at Hoffa and said, "What, I was right, demons will never lack money."
Hoffa looked at his small leather bag. The bag didn't look big, but it had a Traceless Stretch Spell cast on it, and it contained at least five thousand gold coins.
Five thousand gold coins, even Harry Potter's little treasury didn't have that much money.
Hoffa asked, "So you forged the deeds of those properties?"
Indor shrugged, "Of course, do you really think you're a French noble?"
Hoffa sighed, "Aren't you afraid that these people will find you? This is a blatant scam. "
"Kid, if you have a long-term vision, you'll never have to worry about money."
Yin Duo chuckled and walked in front of him with large strides.
"Times are changing, before these greedy guys can take over the business, those lands will turn into scorched earth. All the hustle and bustle would vanish into thin air. At that time, whether the deeds are real or fake, it won't matter. "
Hoffa looked at Indor's back in shock.
If it was an ordinary 11-year-old child, they wouldn't know what he was talking about. But Hoffa knew that World War II was imminent, and France would be the first to fall and become a war zone.
Not to mention that Indor sold fake deeds to the demons, even if he really brought the deed to the Palace of Versailles, those demons wouldn't be able to get it. This guy was purely making use of the time difference to make money from the war.
Puzzled, Hoffa chased after him.
"Hey, how do you know? What makes you so sure that there will be war in the future, or what if these guys find out before the war starts? "
Indor turned his head, and a strange luster flashed across his face.
"Of course I know, I'm a demon from the German island of Heligoland. As for being found out, don't worry, no one dares to go to Hogwarts to make trouble for a freshman. "
With that, Indor threw a small leather bag to Hoffa.
Hoffa grabbed the leather bag and lowered his hand.
He opened it and saw that it was full of shiny gold coins.
Indor: "One gold coin for 17 silver kexi, one silver kexi for 29 nats. I gave you 100 gold coins, which is much more generous than Hogwarts' scholarship. It's enough for you to buy some books and wands, and they're not second-hand either."
After playing with the wizard's coins for a while, Hoffa raised his head in annoyance.
"We worked together, why did you take 5000 gold coins, and I only got 100 gold coins?"
Indor blinked. "You didn't do anything."
Hoffa curled his lips and didn't say anything. He kept the leather bag close to his body.
One gold coin could be exchanged for 5 pounds, and if it was converted to RMB, it would be worth 45 dollars.
100 gold coins, 4500 RMB. To him now, it was a huge sum of money.
Although Hoffa liked money, he knew that it was better to take less ill-gotten wealth. This time, he had no choice but to take the risk, and he would never do it again. He didn't want to test the power of Gringotts.
Back at Mojin's clothing store, Indor took back his gold watch under Old Mojin's unwilling gaze.
Huo Fa took off his luxurious clothes and changed into his dirty clothes. He looked like a Cinderella who had been beaten back to her original form after twelve o 'clock.
Fortunately, he bought the school uniform, and it wasn't second-hand either.
After buying the school uniform, accompanied by Indor, Hoffa went to Lihen Bookstore to buy his Hogwarts textbooks. Although he couldn't wait to read them, he knew that it wasn't the right time yet.
By the time he had walked through half of Diagon Alley, Huo Fa's Spiritual Sea had already reached 45% of the Mystic Realm Exploration Rate.
With another 5% increase, he would receive the system's first reward, one-third of the Spell Shards.
However, compared to the Spell Shards, there was something that made him more excited and expectant.
Wands.
The thing that he had always dreamed of.
Under Indor's lead, Hoffa came to the shop that would make all Harry fans jealous, Ollivander's Wand Shop.
Just as described in the book, as the world's most mysterious shop, this place was quite inconspicuous. Small shop, golden paint peeled off the signboard, and dusty windows.
He had just walked to the door when Yin Duo, who was beside him, suddenly reached out his hand and stopped the excited Huo Fa.
As for the reason, Hoffa immediately knew.
A huge magical wave suddenly came from the shop.
Along with it, there was a crazy and excited laughter.
