A Song of Ice and Fire: The Magic Empire of the Plane Where the Song Begins
Chapter 73: Diagon Alley and Gringotts
After Ai Qi confirmed, he left here immediately. Now is not the time to contact Harry Potter, but it doesn't have to wait too long.
Ai Qi understands that this is the world of Harry Potter, so the first step is to find Diagon Alley.
As the pedestrian street of the wizarding world, Diagon Alley is a serious commercial street.
The population of the wizarding world is not particularly large. In the UK, Diagon Alley is the best place to shop.
As a commercial street, Diagon Alley has more than one entrance, but Ai Qi only knows one, and that is the Leaky Cauldron.
Ai Qi doesn't know where the Leaky Cauldron is, but as long as he knows enough information about the Leaky Cauldron in his heart, the wish compass can divination the direction.
Using Aiqi's space magic, wish compass and artificial intelligence Friday, Aiqi quickly confirmed the location of the Leaky Cauldron.
But Ai Qi was not in a hurry, because it was already dark and the shops in Diagon Alley were closed. Although the Leaky Cauldron Bar could accommodate, Ai Qi did not have coins from the magic world on him, so Ai Qi quickly summoned his men and arranged They started working on exchanging gold into British pounds in the next few days (the money brought by Ai Qi was dated after 2000, so it cannot be used now), buying a house and preparing to build a medium-sized dimensional gate, And popularize some magical backgrounds in this world.
After finding a place to make do for the night, at nine o'clock the next day, Ai Qi arrived at the door of the Leaky Cauldron on time.
The Leaky Cauldron itself is covered by the Muggle Repelling Curse, and non-magic people can't see or notice it at all, so when Ai Qi came in, although the shop owner hadn't seen Ai Qi, he knew that Ai Qi must be a wizard.
Ai Qi's appearance made the store owner Tom think that Ai Qi is a wizard who came from the Chinese magic world. Of course, the businessman should be enthusiastic and greet Ai Qi immediately:
Guest, welcome to the Leaky Cauldron! Would you like a drink? The restaurant also provides board and lodging.
Edge perfectly plays the traveler:
Master, good morning.
I just had breakfast, I'm going to visit Diagon Alley first, and come to your place for dinner at noon.
Tom nodded. Since noon would come, there would be money to be made, so be polite.
Sir, you can call me Tom. You are traveling to England as soon as you see the guests. Of course, you have to visit Diagon Alley!
Ai Qi also responded with a smile:
Yes, by the way, my name is Ai Qi, and I have heard that Diagon Alley is prosperous, but I still need to exchange some coins first. I wonder if Mr. Tom can show me the way to Gringotts?
Aiqi avoided further talking about the Chinese wizarding world, and also avoided revealing the fact that he did not have a wand.
Sure enough, Tom took up the conversation enthusiastically:
Well, anyway, there are few customers in the morning, so come with me.
After all, Tom took Ai Qi around the bar of the Leaky Cauldron and came to a small patio surrounded by walls.
In addition to the trash can, there are only some weeds in the patio.
Tom pulled out his wand, counted three bricks up on the dustbin—and counted two bricks down, and tapped the wall with his wand three times, and the brick trembled and a small hole appeared through it, and finally the hole opened. Turn back into an archway leading to Diagon Alley.
Ai Qi successfully found the passage without a magic wand. The ghost knows if knocking with a magic ring will open the passage. Ai Qi does not plan to use space magic to find the passage. It is best to pass through smoothly.
Tom enthusiastically showed Ai Qi the way, telling Ai Qi how to get to Gringotts, and then the two separated. Tom returned to the store, and Ai Qi walked towards Gringotts.
Gringotts is in the golden area of Diagon Alley, the tall white building is very conspicuous, and Ai Qi can easily find it.
The first door of Gringotts is a shiny bronze gate, and there are goblin guards in scarlet and gold uniforms standing at the door,
When customers come to bow to Ai Qi, the service attitude of the goblin is still very good.
The second door is silver, and the following words are engraved on the door:
Come in, stranger, but beware Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn, Must pay most dearly in their turn,
So if you seek beneath our floors So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours, A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Be careful not to bring treasures, but evil rewards. Of finding more than treasure there.
Obviously this engraved text is a sharp weapon for all Harry Potter fans.
Through the second silver door and into the spacious marble hall, about a hundred goblins sat behind the long counter and registered hastily in the large ledger. Some use scales to weigh coins, others use eyepieces to detect gems.
Ai Qi went straight to an idle goblin's counter, because it was only after nine o'clock, and the bank was actually not particularly busy. The short goblin enthusiastically asked Ai Qi what business he wanted to do.
Ai Qi looked at the goblin in front of him with great interest. The wizard would let another creature control the lifeline of the economy. What a bunch of fools.
Although it is translated as goblins, they are actually goblins, that is, goblins, with super low appearance, but the goblins in the Harry Potter world are still more advanced than the goblins in the general world. Just the same.
Ai Qi casually handed over two boxes, which contained the gold that Ai Qi had taken out from the Infinity Book long ago, and said to the goblin:
I want to convert the gold into cash, most of it into galleons, and some change.
If you have one, by the way, buy a box with a traceless extension spell to store the money in.
The use of gold is also for convenience. If it is exchanged with gems, it needs to be appraised, while for gold, it only needs to be appraised for its color and weight, and it can be exchanged quickly.
Gringotts is a bank, and of course it is efficient when it sees big customers.
After explaining the exchange ratio and handling fee, the cash was in place soon, even the box for the traceless spell was ready. Ai Qi didn't count the money at all, and rejected the goblin's proposal to let Ai Qi open a vault. Ai Qi Qi left Gringotts with the suitcase in hand, and started to go shopping.
