The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Chapter 109 Galleon and Gold (Second)

Judging from this news, Bertha Jorkins has disappeared.

Although she is only an inconspicuous Ministry of Magic clerk, she unexpectedly learned two very important pieces of information.

One was Barty Crouch, the head of the Ministry of Magic's Department of International Magical Cooperation, who secretly released his son Barty Crouch Jr from Azkaban and used the Imperius Curse to control him because Barty Crouch Jr. is an extremely loyal Death Eater, even though Voldemort has been down for thirteen years (Bertha's memory was cleared by old Barty using the Oblivion Curse, but obviously his control over the Oblivion Curse is not obvious. clever).

The second is an event that has been on hiatus for centuries, with the Triwizard Tournament co-hosted by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which will be held in a few months' time. Will reopen!

Bertha, who was on a Ministry mission in Albania, was caught by Peter, stunned, and brought before Voldemort... Her memory was drained by Legilimency, and her secrets had nowhere to hide.

Knowing these two pieces of information, Voldemort quickly returned to England, rescued his loyal servant Barty Crouch Jr., and prepared to use the Triwizard Tournament as bait to lay a huge conspiracy.

...

But what does this have to do with me?

The sky is falling, and naturally there are people with crooked noses...

Anyway, I was only in the third grade, and I still had four full years before I turned 17; unless the Goblet of Fire was blind, it was impossible for me to choose my own.

What dragon, mermaid or sphinx, just let Cedric and Harry play by themselves.

It's a pity that Cedric, a talented young man with both styles and styles, has to see Merlin in less than a year... But anyway, it's not too bad to be reincarnated as a vegetarian vampire?

There is also the poor Qiu-Zhang, who was a widow at the age of 16, and was later abandoned by the savior...

Well, thinking a bit more.

In fact, for the next year, the only thing to worry about is that the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher is a Death Eater...

But in a sense, this is a good thing. In order to gain Dumbledore's trust, Barty Crouch Jr must teach students seriously and reflect his value.

I can just find an opportunity to learn some knowledge of black magic from him.

After all, most of the books on black magic in the forbidden area were hidden by Dumbledore decades ago.

It's just that after the end of my third year, with Voldemort's comeback... everything has to be serious and nervous!

"Mudbloods" like myself and their relatives are the priority targets of the Death Eaters.

If you can this semester, try to get close to Mrs. Maxime, the headmaster of Beauxbatons School of Magic, to see if there is a chance to transfer!

...

After returning to 86 Eastleigh Road to adjust his schedule for a few days, Jon felt that he was almost done with work and rest, and now he had to get down to business.

With Sirius Black's large bounty, Jon will never be as cash-strapped as an ordinary Muggle student.

He sent an owl and a trip to Diagon Alley in London, along with a long list of potions ingredients.

He almost bought several large bags of various medicinal materials, and the rented hut used to prepare potions was already filled with all kinds of medicinal materials; although it cost hundreds of Galleons, this During the summer vacation, he could at least let go of making potions.

If he doesn't consider buying "luxury items" like Firebolts, in fact, it's hard for him to spend these thousands of Galleons...

Money, it won't produce money in Gringotts, so it's better to use it up.

For this batch of Jin Galleons, Jon has thought of a special usage.

...

One day at the end of July, the dark-skinned and tall "Varian Wrynn" reappeared in front of the Wilson Hardware Store.

"Mr. Wrynn!" Robert Wilson hurried over and shouted enthusiastically.

There was no doubt that, before his eyes, this strangely named Mr. Wrynn was a major client.

"I want to ask something!" Varian Wrynn said softly as he handed over a few bills, "Is there a place to cast and sell gold?"

"Gold?" Mr. Wilson frowned and asked softly, "How much?"

"There are quite a few!" The other party said calmly: "It is close to 2,000 ounces, and the condition is very good!"

"What!" Mr. Wilson sucked in a breath. "This is a big deal, of course, Mr. Wrynn, I have a way!"

Vigilantly followed Mr. Wilson into the house, and after a few minutes of brief discussion, Jon left here satisfied.

At the same time, before he left, he paid Mr. Wilson a large sum of money.

...

Galleons are gold, there is no doubt about that.

The rarity of gold in the wizarding world is far lower than that of ordinary people, and it is not even a precious metal.

Maybe gold from hundreds of years ago can be regarded as a treasure. After all, the value of gold Galleons at that time was 10,000 times that of later generations.

But with the rapid development of alchemy, times have changed.

The most famous item is undoubtedly the Philosopher's Stone (Sage's Stone), another name for it is the Philosopher's Stone... It can turn any metal into pure gold!

Although there are few records about the Philosopher's Stone in history, it at least exists. For example, the famous French alchemist Nick Lemay owns one; the gold produced by using the Philosopher's Stone is undoubtedly astronomical.

There are also many alchemy techniques that can produce gold in large quantities. Although it does not cost anything like the magic stone, it also greatly reduces the price of gold.

At the same time, with the progress of Muggle gold panning technology and the discovery of two huge gold mines in San Francisco and Melbourne; many wizards often sneak into Muggle gold panning camps, use confusion spells, and steal gold at the same time... This kind of behavior It was not strictly prohibited until 1888.

In fact, according to Professor Binns' explanation in the history of magic class, the goblin rebellion in 1612 was caused by gold... Because the value of gold at that time plummeted, the wizards forced goblins to abolish the old currency system, causing the goblins to strong opposition.

The final outcome of the goblin rebellion was the victory of the wizard, and Jin Galleon was forcibly devalued by 10,000 times; in this way, the goblins could no longer control the lifeblood of the wizard through gold coins.

At the same time, the "Guidelines for the Use of Wands" in 1631 also prohibited the right of fairies to hold wands, which made fairies lose the ability to resist.

Until 1865, wizards allowed goblins to take full control of Gringotts, allowing them to have coinage.

The relationship between wizards and fairies has only entered a period of relaxation for more than a hundred years...
