Chapter 5 5, Indra the Liar

Gringotts is located in the middle of a row of commercial streets. It is a very tall white building. Compared with the surrounding buildings, it is very conspicuous.

No matter what world you are in, banks are very grand.

In front of the shiny bronze gate, there were still two solemn goblins, wearing uniforms inlaid with scarlet and gold. After seeing Hoffa approaching, the two goblins bowed slightly at the same time.

According to legend, this store is the first store in the entire Diagon Alley.

A man and a demon walked into Gringotts one after the other. After arriving here, Indo wore a suit with his head held high and his chest held high.

Go through the second silver door with some warning signs written on it.

Come in, stranger, but be careful

What is the end of insatiable greed,

Blindly ask for, get for nothing

will be severely punished,

So if you want to take it from our underground vault

A treasure that was never yours,

Thief, you have been warned,

Be careful not to bring treasures, but evil rewards

These slogans are all old English, very old-fashioned.

After seeing this row of slogans, Hoffa, who was originally calm, couldn't help but feel his heart pounding like a bucket. He came to Gringotts to cheat money to study at the first stop of his rebirth, and he was really crazy.

But seeing Indo's confident appearance, Hoffa could only calm down. Things have come to this point, complaining is useless, only by playing your own role well can you gain more trust. In banking, trust is money.

Indo said: "Your current name is Sylby Spencer. You are a descendant of a French nobleman, understand?"

Hoffa mocked: "You are really well prepared."

After passing by a group of goblins who weigh gems all the time, Hoffa and Indo came to the counter.

Indra's lips twitched softly.

"Silby can't speak English. From now on, I will leave everything to me, understand?"

Hoffa nodded wordlessly.

Indra looked up at a bald old goblin with glasses at the counter.

"This time, the guest came from France. He came to discuss investment matters with us on behalf of the family. This is the proof of the Spencer family's overseas business."

As he spoke, Indo conjured a piece of paper out of nowhere and handed it to him.

The old demon looked solemn, he crossed his fingers, first glanced up and down at Hoffa, and nodded slightly to him.

Hoffa also nodded at him reservedly.

Then the old goblin took out a magnifying glass and studied Indo's paper carefully.

When Hoffa saw the paper, his teeth itch with hatred. Yin Duo was obviously well prepared, maybe he had made up his mind from the very beginning, and joined him in defrauding money, so he purposely lost his tuition fees.

After studying the paper, the old goblin waved, and a goblin secretary came over behind him.

The old goblin said, "Take them to Room 103."

The goblin secretary immediately nodded in agreement. He took Hoffa to the elevator at Gringotts, pressed it a few times, and the old-fashioned sliding door elevator automatically floated up and walked up.

Hoffa thought that Harry Potter and Hagrid were going underground when they first came to Gringotts, but he was going up with Indo. This unknown feeling made him uneasy.

On the tenth floor, the elevator opens.

Indo immediately bowed at the door, letting Hoffa go first as a waiter. To highlight his dignity.

Hoffa sneered in his heart, he was indeed a professional liar, and he played a full set of acting.

He didn't refuse either, imitating the appearance of the nobles he saw in the movies in his previous life, and walked on reservedly.

In the corridor on the floor, there is a fragrance of high-grade roses, the floor is covered with a red carpet, and the walls are lit with gilded magic lighting, which is very high-end.

The goblin secretary sent Indo and Hoffa into Room 103, and then backed out.

It was broad daylight outside, but the fireplace in the room was burning, and the walls were full of silverware and oil paintings, dim but luxurious.

"Mr. Ralph, look who I brought here this time."

Indra cleared his throat with pleasure, and spoke loudly.

In front of the fireplace, a wheelchair turned around.

In the wheelchair was a goblin, an old goblin, an old goblin who was dying.

He was wearing a red blanket, his head was shaking slightly, and his nose was as long as Hoffa's forearm.

Hoffa swears that he has never seen such an old and paralyzed goblin. This is simply Stephen Hawking among goblins.

Indo walked over and kissed the old goblin loudly on the forehead with only a few hairs left.

Trojan horse!

Hoffa looked chilled.

The old goblin opened his mouth and pointed to the red sofa beside him.

Hoffa sat down quietly.

Indo walked to the side cabinet and took out a glass of red wine familiarly.

Talk while pouring wine.

"Ralfa, the wizarding world in France is facing problems now, and Germany's ambitions are already unstoppable. This Mr. Spencer is willing to mortgage some of his family's property in France in exchange for the protection of the British Ministry of Magic."

Ralfa muttered, "Scaremongering, Indo, you're always like this..."

The sound was hoarse like a broken gong.

Indo handed over the parchment: "Believe it or not, this is the land deed, take a look."

Ralfa took it over and took a look, then muttered: "Delfina Spencer...it really is No Man's Land." The old goblin glanced at Hoffa, "I don't know if this and Delphine Miss Na's relationship..."

Indo patted his chest and assured: "Brother, younger brother by blood, the sole heir of the Spencer family. Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem."

The old goblin nodded.

"It's just the price..."

Indra held up a finger.

"Ten thousand Galleons, plus a security agreement. This is the price. If feasible, you can obtain a large amount of land including the port of Bordeaux, and the settlement will be completed within two years."

The old goblin's cloudy eyes lit up, watching Hoffa without speaking.

Indra: "Don't worry, he doesn't speak English."

The old goblin immediately bargained with Indra.

Watching the two wrangling each other in front of them. Hoffa smiled on his face, and his mother agreed in his heart. Indo, the goblin, is simply a lying and unblinking beast. How did this kind of thing get a good evaluation in Dumbledore's eyes?

Dumbledore is a rare wise man in the world of Harry Potter. Could it be that this goblin is so thick-skinned that even Dumbledore can fool him... Or is it that Dumbledore is not old enough to suffer a lot from Indo , Is that why you become so wise?

Finally, the wrangling is over.

The old goblin looked at Hoffa expectantly.

With a gloomy face, Indo came to Hoffa's side and whispered in his ear, "Is this old guy's nose funny? Nod yes, shake head no."

Hoffa looked at the old goblin's huge rosacea in silence for a while, and finally, he nodded solemnly under the expectant eyes of the old goblin.

The old goblin gave a satisfied smile.

Indo stood up and scolded: "Damn it, five thousand is five thousand. You old fellow, Grandet is not as vicious as you!"

 ….

Ding!

With a crisp sound.

Ten minutes later, Hoffa and Indor stood at the exit of Gringotts. A thick gold coin flicked between Indor's slender fingers.

He looked at Hoffa with a small leather bag and smiled, "Why, I'm right, goblins are never short of money."

Hoffa looked at his small leather bag. It didn't look big, but it contained at least 5,000 Galleons.

5,000 Galleons, I'm afraid Harry Potter didn't even have that much money in his small coffers.

Hoffa asked: "So those property title deeds were all forged by you?"

Indo shrugged: "Otherwise, do you really think you are some kind of French nobleman?"

Hoffa sighed: "Aren't you afraid of being approached by these people? This is a blatant deception."

"Boy, if your vision is long enough, you will never worry about gold coins."

Indo grinned, and strode forward.

"The times are about to change. Before these greedy guys hand over the business, those lands will be turned into scorched earth. All the prosperity will disappear. At that time, whether the title deed is true or false is meaningless."

Hoffa looked at Indor's back in shock.

If it were an ordinary 11-year-old kid, he would have no idea what he was talking about. But Hoffa knew that World War II was imminent, and France would be the first to fall and turn it into a war zone.

Not to mention that Indo sold the fake title deed to the goblins, even if he really got the title deed from the Palace of Versailles, those goblins would not get it. This guy is purely playing the time difference to make money from the war.

Puzzled, Hoffa gave chase.

"Hey, how do you know? How can you be sure that there will be a war in the future, or what if these guys found out before the war started?"

Indra turned his head, and a strange gleam flashed across his face.

"Of course I know. I'm a goblin from Hegoland, Germany. As for being discovered, don't worry, no one dares to go to Hogwarts to trouble a first-year student."

With that said, Indo threw a calfskin bag to Hoffa directly.

Hoffa grabbed the leather bag and sank his hands.

When I opened it, I saw that there were glittering gold Galleons inside.

Indo: "One gallon is exchanged for 17 silver kasi, and one silver kasi is exchanged for 29 nats. I gave you 100 galleons, which is much more generous than the Hogwarts bursary. It is enough for you to buy some books and wands." , and it’s not second-hand.”

After playing with the wizard's coin for a while, Hoffa raised his head slightly annoyed.

"We worked together, why did you take 5,000 Galleons and I only had 100 Galleons?"

Indo blinked, "You didn't do anything."

Hoffa pursed his lips, did not speak, and put the small leather bag close to his body.

One galleon can be exchanged for 5 British pounds, which is worth 45 yuan if converted into later generations of RMB.

100 Galleons, 4500 RMB. For me now, it is already a huge sum of money.

Although Hoffa likes money, he also knows that it is better to take less ill-gotten gains. This time he was forced to take such a risk, and he would not do it the next time he was killed. He didn't want to test the power of Gringotts.

Back at Mojin's clothing store, under the unwilling eyes of old Mojin, Indo took back his gold watch.

And Hoffa took off his fancy clothes and put on his dirty clothes, just like Cinderella who was beaten back to her original form after twelve o'clock.

Fortunately, he bought the school robe, which was not second-hand.

After buying school robes, accompanied by Indo, Hoffa went to Lihen Bookstore to buy his own textbook for Hogwarts. As much as he wished he could open it and read it now, he knew it wasn't yet.

When he finished most of Diagon Alley, in Hoffa's sea of ​​consciousness, his secret exploration rate had reached 45%.

As long as it is increased by another 5%, he can get the first reward of the system, one-third of the spell fragments.

But compared to spell fragments, there is one thing that makes him more excited and looking forward to.

wand.

Something he dreamed of.

Under the leadership of Indo, Hoffa came to Ollivander's wand shop, a shop that fans of Harry Potter all over the world will stare at.

As described in the book, as the most mysterious shop in the world, this place is quite inconspicuous. Small storefronts, signboards with peeling gold paint, and dusty windows.

As soon as he reached the door, suddenly, Indo beside him stretched out his hand and stopped the excited Hoffa.

As for the reason, Hoffa knew immediately.

A huge wave of magic suddenly came from the store.

Accompanied by crazy and excited laughter.

"That's right, that's it, that's it!!"
