Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts

Chapter 6 The same annoying goblin as a thousand years ago

It's interesting. Les glanced at the goblins in the hall and raised his eyebrows: The wizards of later generations are really full of martial virtue!

Thousands of years ago, the unruly king of his own tribe and the goblins who had fought several wars with the wizards were willing to work for the wizards and run the bank for them. It was obviously not a sign of conscience.

After secretly giving a thumbs up to his successors, he walked to the bank counter and explained his purpose to the goblin behind the counter.

The goblin behind the counter was wearing goggles to examine gems. When she saw a girl in shabby clothes and a child with no hair on her face, she couldn't help but feel a little cold.

It didn't bother to take off the eyepiece, and while observing the gems in its hands, it just asked Les and Rupert to put the items for sale on the counter, and then it heard a crackling sound.

The goblin raised his head in annoyance, and wanted to scold the two of them not to scatter biscuits and other sundries on the counter, but a pile of colorful gems came into view, choking all its dissatisfaction and complaints in its throat. .

Let's estimate it. Les said calmly.

The little expression of the goblin in front of him naturally cannot escape his eyes, but he can completely understand it - greedy and despicable, snobbish and stubborn, this is the nature of the goblin. Rather, it is this attitude that makes people understand that he is sitting in front of him. It was a goblin, not a house elf.

Distant memories surfaced in his mind, and he recalled a past incident between Gryffindor and the Goblin King Legnarc I.

Gryffindor once found Legnarc, the king of goblins, and commissioned him to forge a sterling silver sword decorated with rubies for him. However, the greedy goblin changed his mind after making the sword and wanted to take it for himself. He had it, and finally came up with the bold idea of ​​stealing the sword back from Gryffindor.

Ragnarok claimed that Gryffindor had stolen the sword from him, and used this lame lie to drive his subjects to Gryffindor to ask for the sword. Gryffindor fought off all the goblins and enchanted them, asking them to go back and tell Legnac that if it dared to do such a thing again, Gryffindor would kill it and it with this sword. of all subjects.

Legnac was timid and never mentioned the sword, but the legend that Gryffindor had stolen the sword began to spread in the goblin society...

Thinking of this, Les couldn't help but snorted.

What a ridiculous guy. He wants to take away goods purchased by others through legal means based on a vague clan rule. Does he really think that the world revolves around them?

In Slytherin's opinion, all these goblins, male and female, old and young, should be killed, their heads used as decorations, their bones and meat fed to snakes, and their fat made into candles—— This was also the reason why Legnac didn't dare to send people to find him even though he also bought something from the goblin, because he would really do that.

Goblins have despicable blood flowing in their bodies, and they are born despicable. Judging from his observations today, these bad qualities have not dissipated in a thousand years.

It's a pity that some of my friends think that I am a bit extreme and are unwilling to cooperate with me, so these disasters have been allowed to go unchecked until now.

Fifty-seven Galleons, sir, this is the highest price I can offer. The goblin's voice floated into his ears, pulling him out of his memories and back to reality.

boom!

Before Les could say anything, Lupet couldn't bear it anymore. She rushed to the counter and negotiated the price with the goblin. In her opinion, fifty-seven Galleons was a lot, but compared with the pile of gems, it seemed too little.

Gemstones, unlike precious metals such as gold, do not have a very specific price trend curve today. The price of high and low prices depends entirely on the buyers and sellers. The goblin has long been used to the situation like Lupet. . He patiently explained to Lupet, explaining the reasons for the price he quoted in terms of color, clarity, cut, and weight. It was quite reasonable.

How could Lupet know this? He was stunned for a moment after being told by the goblin. In the end, he only asked the goblin to increase the offer from fifty-seven to sixty.

Les also had some research on gems. Seeing that what the goblin said was pretty much the same, he didn't go into details with it. Anyway, he was just here to exchange for some money to buy clothes. He hadn't taken out the really valuable magic props yet.

He really didn't want to stay here for a long time in a place crowded with goblins.

After putting a large pile of gold Galleons into his wallet, Les ignored the goblin's suggestion that he open an account at Gringotts and left quickly.

After wandering around Diagon Alley for a while, he came outside a clothing store called Tuofan Clothing Store.

This is a store that specializes in selling wizard robes. Compared with another ready-made clothing store called Madam Malkin's Robe Store, the clothes here are made of better quality materials, are more popular among wizard nobles, and are more expensive.

The Tuofan clothing store is very large, with smooth marble floors inside. Even during the day, hundreds of candles are still lit in the crystal chandeliers, adding a soft golden light to the clothes in the store. Different from other stores in Diagon Alley, the shelves in Tuofan Garment Store are arranged very neatly and are widely spaced. They are not cramped at all, giving people a feeling of openness and grandeur.

After just taking a cursory look at the store's decoration, Les decided to buy clothes here. The pursuit of dignity and pomp is almost ingrained in his soul. Even when he traveled and adventured with his friends, he tried his best to be perfect in all aspects: clean accommodation, delicious, hygienic and exquisite food, decent The clothes... these are what he is obsessed with.

Pushing open the store door, a pleasant bell rang, and a beautiful woman wearing a gray silk robe and a gold brooch walked out quickly from behind the counter, calling the two of them warmly and elegantly. People come into the store to make purchases.

Without showing any disdain for the two men's shabby clothes, the woman first introduced herself to them.

I am Isabel, the store manager of the Diagon Alley branch of Extraordinary Garments. Welcome you two.

Facing Isabel's enthusiasm, Lupet was a little at a loss. She had never seen such a scene before, and second-hand robe shops would not provide such attentive service.

Les, who had no stage fright at all, told Isabel that he wanted to buy some outfits for himself and Lupert.

Rupert:? !

She didn't expect that she would be able to take advantage of her master and buy a set of clothes in a clothing store of this level.

For Les, Lupet is also his follower. If she is dressed in rags and shabby, will her face be very bright? Of course not. I just want to make the followers around me dress more decently than the daughters of wealthy families. This is true elegance.

Okay, please wait a moment. Isabel waved her wand without any hesitation and summoned a ruler.

Just as she was about to ask Les to stand on a footstool so that he could be measured, the doorbell rang again.
