Diagon Alley.

The last time I came here was for job hunting.

Looking at the robes and pointed hats coming and going on the street, Murphy suddenly smiled.

After jumping out of this small wizarding world, he could look at this place more easily. Even the store managers who seemed hateful, stupid and stubborn before seemed to have become innocent and cute.

Sure enough, he still liked it here.

He likes magic, and he also likes wizards. Most of them are quite stupid, but isn't that just another way of describing "innocent"? Although a group of idiots can sometimes make you irritated, it's always hard to really hate them. stand up.

Speaking of which, that was only a week ago.

But his thinking has undergone such a huge change.

All I can say is that money is the boldest thing in a man.

With millions of pounds in his pocket, Murphy walks much more briskly.

He first came to Gringotts.

At this moment, he had changed his appearance. Even he himself didn't know the name of his face. He had transformed it by pulling out the hair of a random man on the street.

"Hello, I heard that wizard currency can be exchanged here, right?" Murphy pretended to know nothing about it, and asked a goblin who was weighing gold coins.

"Are you a Muggle?" The goblin raised his head slightly.

"name?"

"Jim Stick." Murphy directly announced the sponsor's name.

The goblin wrote something with a quill on a piece of parchment, and then asked: "The reason?"

"Shopping?"

"Purpose?"

"Uh... what could be the purpose?" Murphy asked, a little unsure.

"Muggle-born wizards can only enroll for this purpose." the goblin answered.

Why are you still asking?

The wizarding world and the Muggle world are basically isolated. Unless a former Muggle with no roots in the wizarding world has to join the wizarding world, currency exchange between the two is not allowed.

"My son is in school." Murphy continued to lie.

"The little wizard's name?"

"David Stick."

"Contact a mentor?"

"Severus Snape."

Who let Snape find fault with himself all day long when he was in school?

"How much do you want to exchange for five pounds and a galleons?"

"Ten thousand pounds?" Murphy asked tentatively.

The goblin raised his eyes again, seemingly a little surprised, but quickly lowered his head and continued the work at hand, "The upper limit is forty Galleons, do you want to redeem it?"

"Forty galleons?" Murphy was stunned, that's useless.

"Forget it, let me think about it again."

This road was obviously dead. Murphy left Gringotts and found an alley. His appearance changed again, and he also changed into a robe, and walked into Gringotts again.

Seeing a goblin weighing gems, he walked over and said, "I have gold, can I exchange it for galleons?"

"Of course!" The goblin was a little more enthusiastic, "We have exchange business for gold, silver, and gems."

"What's the upper limit?"

"The upper limit?" The goblin was a little confused, but then he understood, "There is no exchange limit for gold and silver. For gems, we will buy them in galleons."

No limit?

Murphy perked up.

Gold and silver are still precious metals in the wizarding world, and as the casting materials for wizard currency, it is natural for Gringotts to have an acquisition business, but it is a surprise that there is no limit.

This is perhaps the easiest way to convert pounds to galleons.

"May I ask your name?" asked the goblin.

"Patrick Duncan," Murphy continued.

"What's your vault number?"

"Huh?" Murphy was stunned for a moment, "Why do you ask this?"

"To avoid unnecessary trouble, this business is usually only open to families that have had long-term cooperation with Gringotts. Therefore, your identity and vault number need to be verified."

"..."

Patrick had a treasury of hair.

"Any other requests?"

"No, you just need to provide the source of the precious metal."

"I'll think about it again."

The second time he walked out of Gringotts, Murphy apparated to the door of a Muggle gold shop, bought all the gold in the store, used transfiguration to transform it into a gold nugget of unknown origin, and then apparated back again. Arrive at Gringotts.

This time he took off his disguise and walked through the door in his original appearance.

After choosing another goblin, Murphy took out two gold bars from the pocket that had been casted by the Traceless Stretching Charm, "I want to exchange them for galleons."

Several goblins around looked over, and the goblin responsible for the reception was more enthusiastic than the previous ones. "No problem, no problem. May I ask your name?"

"Murphy Darkholm."

"Vault number?"

"1745."

The Darkholm family is not as good as pure-blood families such as Black and Potter, and the vault numbers are relatively low.

The goblin rummaged through a thick book for a while, then looked at Murphy with some confusion, "This vault has had no deposits for nearly twenty years, and it still owes Gringotts sixteen galleons in management fees..."

"Excuse me, where is the source of your gold?"

This question was not what Murphy expected, "The gold dug out from the ground of the old house is the gold buried by our ancestors."

"Please wait a moment." The goblin seemed a little undecided and muttered a few words with the surrounding goblins. Finally, a goblin who looked like a supervisor took over and asked: "How many do you have?" gold?"

"About thirty-five pounds (16 kilograms)," Murphy said.

The goblin supervisor was a little surprised. Several goblins murmured for a while before the goblin supervisor said: "Because of the credibility of your treasury, you can only redeem five pounds of gold."

"Merlin's stinky shit! I have real gold and silver! Why can't I redeem it!"

Murphy refused to accept it and argued with the goblin supervisor for a long time. Finally, after agreeing to pay a penalty of one hundred galleons, the exchange amount was increased to 10 pounds.

Later, after a long process of inspection, weighing, calculation and counting, a goblin handed a cloth bag to Murphy, "This is 6572 gold galleons, please count it."

Murphy's mouth twitched.

He gave the other party an international friendly gesture.

10 pounds of gold, based on today's gold price, is worth close to 45,000 pounds. If the ordinary galleons to pound exchange rate is used, he should be given nearly 9,000 galleons in gold coins.

But after such a turn of events, only more than 6,000 were obtained!

Nearly one-third of the profits were swallowed up by Gringotts.

However, he still couldn't reason. After all, Gringotts' gold galleons exchange rate was really that low. As for the exchange rate with pounds sterling, it couldn't match it?

What does the price of Muggle gold have to do with Gringotts?

Murphy walked out of Gringotts slightly depressed.

These goblins are simply vampires.

How many mind-bending spells have been put into the minds of wizards to allow them to control their own currency system?

But forget it, it’s free money anyway, if you get greedy, just be greedy, the rest will always be enough.

Weighing the gold coin bag that stretched seamlessly, Murphy came to Slug and Giggs Pharmacy.

Entering the door, I saw a young wizard about the same age as Murphy refining potion in a crucible.

He looked at it for a while and suddenly said: "It is recommended to grind the dried caterpillars into powder. The slices are not easy to mix and the result will not be good."

The young wizard turned back, looking a little confused: "But, the book said slices."

"What you are refining is a shrinking potion, right? In fact, the method in the textbook is rather old-fashioned. Using live caterpillars to squeeze juice is more effective."

The young wizard had freckles on his face, a round face and a slightly chubby face. He looked at Murphy in confusion, "Who are you?"

"Just a customer. By the way, you turned on the heat too much and the crucible was almost burnt."

"Ah, oh! Oh my god!" The round-faced wizard hurriedly added some water and finally boiled the potion.

Murphy looked at the finished yellow liquid and curled his lips, "You made a pot of shit, brother."

The round-faced wizard's face turned red, and his freckles became more conspicuous, "I, you, well, okay, now the boss is going to deduct my salary again."

Murphy smiled. This guy was quite funny. He stretched out a hand and said, "Peter Parker, nice to meet you."

The round-faced wizard grimaced, "Alex Wood."

Murphy patted the other party on the shoulder and said, "You know, I just applied for your current position a few days ago."

Alex looked at him in surprise, "Then why didn't they hire you? You seem to be a veteran."

Murphy smiled, "They are blind. But I want to thank them. Thanks to them, I can stand here and be their father."

"Now, Wood, go call your boss out and tell him that I want to buy all the white fresh stock in your store."
