Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy Chapter 12: Witcher Bank

　　Although he was born in England in his life, Wright has stayed in Edinburgh for the first ten years of his life. He has never been to London. As Europe's largest city and largest economic center, London's city scale is far less than Edinburgh.

　　Professor McGonagall left a certain amount of scholarship for Wright when he was about to leave the orphanage yesterday. Many people may not know that Hogwarts will provide some subsidies for students from poor families. In addition to requiring students to purchase their own school supplies, Hogwarts will not levy any tuition fees from students. With food and housing, no water and electricity, and one package for seven years, Hogwarts can be regarded as one of the most conscientious schools in the multiverse!

　　 However, this subsidy provided by the school for free is not much, even for the consumption level of the wizarding world. Only enough for those students to buy second-hand robes and second-hand old textbooks, and sometimes they need to bargain for themselves. But for Wright, in the years of fighting crime, he still saved a small vault of more than 10,000 pounds. If you convert it to gold gallons according to the ratio of 1:5, there are two thousand gold coins, and a little bit of frugality is enough for Wright to pass the seven school years.

　　 Get off the train from the London railway station and leave the station. With the mentality of a local tyrant, Wright catches a taxi to Charing Cross Road. Not long after, Wright got in and out of the car on a seemingly ordinary street.

　　 After paying the fare to the taciturn driver along the way, Wright found his goal between a large bookstore on Charing Cross Road and a record store, a dirty and cramped bar.

The sign of 　　 bar reads: The Broken Cauldron Bar was founded in 1500.

　　right straightened the backpack behind him and walked into the broken cauldron bar. As in the impression, as the entrance connecting the wizarding world and the Muggle world, the Broken Cauldron Bar is too dark and dirty! The bar owner who was about to strip his hair was standing behind the bar and chatting with a guest, and there were two witches drinking in the corner.

　　 Seeing Wright entering the door, the bar owner stopped talking to the guest, and asked Wright, "Welcome! This little face-to-face guest! I’m Tom, the owner of the Broken Cauldron Bar. Would you like something? What?"

　　Wright leaned towards the bar and responded to Tom: "Sorry, I don’t need anything yet, Mr. Tom. I’m a freshman at Hogwarts this year, from the Muggle world. I need to go there first. Go to Diagon Alley."

　　 "Well, the entrance to Diagon Alley is in the backyard of the bar. Do you need me to take you there?" Tom nodded.

　　 Diagon Alley is the only wizard shopping alley in the UK. As the owner of the Broken Cauldron Bar, Tom has been here for decades. When another Tom came to Diagon Alley for the first time, he was already here. Because of this, Tom is familiar with almost all the wizards in the British wizarding world, and now he can still see a new face, either a new Muggle student or a foreign wizard.

　　 "Of course, I am grateful!" Wright nodded gratefully.

　　 Boss Tom walked out from behind the bar and brought Wright to the backyard. Then he took out a magic wand and tapped it three times on a brick wall. A hole appeared in the wall, and the entrance of the hole slowly turned into an archway, and the screams reached Wright's ears from the other end of the archway.

　　 "Welcome to Diagon Alley." Tom turned his head and smiled at Wright.

　　 After accepting Wright’s thanks, the owner Tom immediately returned to the bar in front, while Wright continued to move forward and entered Diagon Alley along the archway. Without paying attention to the shops on the roadside, Wright walked straight to a magnificent snow-white building with a line engraved on the shiny bronze gate: Gringotts Wizarding Bank.

　　 walked into the hall of Gringotts along a silver door. Wright stood in the middle of the hall and looked at the scenery for a while, then walked towards the counter full of goblins.

　　 "Hello, I want to exchange pound sterling for some wizard currency." Wright said to an idle goblin. For this kind of high IQ inhuman race, treat them with an equal and natural attitude.

　　 "What do you want to exchange? Garon? Sic or Nat?" The goblin pointed at Wright with its pointed nose.

　　 "Karon is just fine, I want to ask what is the exchange rate of the pound today?" Wright recalled the twisted and illogical exchange rate of coins in the wizarding world, and did not know which genius invented it, a gold Kanon exchanges seventeen silver xicos, and one silver xico can exchange twenty-nine copper nats.

　　The fairy's eyes lit up, and his voice immediately became more enthusiastic: "Today's exchange rate for the pound is just 5, distinguished guest, do you need to exchange it soon?"

　　"Yes," Lai nodded, "But before the exchange, I still have a few questions I want to consult."

　　 "Please speak." The goblin said nonchalantly.

　　"First question, is there a limit to exchanging British pounds for Galleons?" Wright asked.

　　"Of course, every year new students from the Muggle world come in. For this reason, we have specially opened up a channel for the pound to be exchanged for the Galleon." The goblin nodded, "Generally speaking, the annual pound exchange limit for each wizard is one Thousands."

　　A thousand pounds? Wright frowned~IndoMTL.com~ That is to say, only about two hundred gallons? This seems a bit lacking, right?

　　 seemed to feel Wright’s doubts, and the goblin explained: "The pound is not very useful to us. Every time a Muggle student exchanges for the pound, we still need to use some means to get the pound back to Ma In the world of melons, the amount of Kanon that each person can exchange will not be too large."

　　 Lai nodded, accepting this statement, and then he asked the second question: "Are these Kanon, Siko, and Nat all made of pure metal?"

　　"What?" The goblin made a clear expression of anger, "Are you questioning the level of integrity of our goblin?"

　　"Of course not." Wright shook his head unhurriedly, "I just want to know the answer to this question."

　　 "Every currency is made of pure metal by our fairy mint craftsmen!" The fairy glared at Wright, and said angrily, "Can you exchange pounds for pounds now?"

　　 "No problem!" Wright quickly took out a thousand pounds and exchanged it for two hundred gallons. He thought that he could exchange more Kanon today, so he took all the money in the small vault with him. But I didn't expect that Gringotts' annual exchange limit for pound sterling was only 1,000, so the remaining money could only be used later.

　　 The fairy took the banknotes handed by Wright, and carefully ordered two hundred gallons from the drawer of the counter, and then placed Jin Jialong neatly on the counter.

　　 "Time is Jin Jialong! My friend." said the goblin.

　　Wright took off the backpack behind him, and swept all the Kanon on the counter inside.

　　 picking up his backpack, Wright turned and walked outside, silently saying in his heart:

　　The financial system in the wizarding world is quite backward!
