Fang Bie finished all of this, and after greeting Ethan, who was managing those youths with him, he returned to his house.
Sitting inside, he pondered everything carefully. He had indeed played a huge role in this war, and because of the characteristic he possessed, it also meant that his future would inevitably play a huge role as well.
However, Fang Bie also felt his own weakness within this, and at the same time, he felt a sense of urgency for power. It could even be said that he urgently wanted to obtain power for the sense of safety it would bring. This feeling could not be obtained from his own ability, but only by relying on the World.
Fang Bie was now infinitely close to the Third Rank, which was the stage where one could dominate and become a hegemon in the Universe. Most people from the Worlds, after reaching this stage, would be respectfully addressed by the world as God or Immortal.
But Fang Bie did indeed clearly feel the weakness of this stage, which was actually related to the people he had come into contact with.
When he was just an ordinary person, he had already come into contact with several protagonists standing at the top of the World. Later, after finally achieving some success, he immediately greeted and met the Ruthless Great Emperor.
However, at that time, Fang Bie actually no longer relied on his own power to recruit people. What he mainly relied on was already the Power of the World, as well as the various items from MC.
The subsequent meeting with the Creator even made him feel the powerlessness within his body. Any Creator possessed the Power of Creation and powerful destructive abilities that far surpassed his own.
However, after coming to the Void this time, he did not belittle himself because of this. These monsters were indeed related to him, but it was precisely because of this relationship that he was able to occupy a high position in the Creator Alliance even in such a weak state.
Fang Bie was very curious about what kind of performance it would be next Blood Moon, since these monsters usually only appeared once every several Eras when he did not appear.
Moreover, because his arrival caused these monsters to appear in advance, the impact caused was not as great as the previous time, but it was not known whether it was a beneficial thing or not.
Fang Bie guessed that this was at least a beneficial thing. After all, his arrival prevented the monsters from truly gathering together. Even relying on the influence of the Blood Moon to forcibly gather a group to attack the Creator Alliance's camp, they were forcibly driven back because of their sufficient manpower.
The current Creator Alliance is far less powerful than the Creators of the previous Era, but instead much weaker. Even they were able to withstand the attacks, so it probably wouldn't be too terrifying.
"So it seems..." Fang Bie gradually fell into contemplation, "In other words, in the previous Era, even Wither and Ender Dragon joined? Maybe there were also some other powerful monsters, such as those creatures that look like dinosaurs, and some huge ants?"
He spoke of those strange Mods, and the huge monsters that had shown traces in these strange Mods, as well as those fleeting glimpses, but indeed appeared in this World, those huge Mythical Creatures.
Fang Bie couldn't imagine at all, if those Mythical Creatures, which had already shown unparalleled power in the original World, were to fall into the Worlds of those Creators, or even directly descend into the Void, how many layers of increase would their power level have?
And behind such increases, how much destruction of Worlds and how many deaths of innocents would be caused, this point is immeasurable.
Fang Bie thought of a theory he had previously proposed and implemented: the more monsters died in the MC World, the less pressure his own body would bear. This meant that monsters did indeed descend into this World in some way, and using this World as a carrier, descend into other Worlds.
Moreover, according to the situation of the battlefield he saw in the Void, it was clear that the weaker the animals, the easier it was for them to come to other Worlds, while the more powerful the monsters, the rarer they became.
If we infer according to this theory, these creatures named Mythology, which are actually mythological in essence, will have unattainable power and authority when they descend to the original World!
Fang Bie finally learned to start using authority to call his ability. The Creator's authority was inherently a process of constantly increasing this authority, which was the process of him constantly comprehending this ability during this period, and strengthening and sublimating it.
Just like a certain novel had some similar descriptions of this ability, calling it authority and power. This way of describing it could be considered extremely fitting for Creators.
The Creator's authority, of course, was their degree of control over the World. And the degree of control over the World, once it reached a certain depth, was often not just a degree of control, but control of all Worlds, unless that World was not under your subordinate.
If a true battle were to occur between two Creators, it would be far from as simple as a collision of power. Instead, it would be the degree of accumulation of one's own power and the depth of insight into the World.
Even if this depth might not be too high, it was also a level that was extremely difficult to reach. Fang Bie belonged to the stage where his level of understanding was very low, and he could only be called a Creator, but in reality, he did not possess the Combat Power of the same Rank.
Of course, the MC World was inherently different from other Worlds. He did not know to what extent these Worlds could be exaggerated. These Worlds all possessed their own rules. Once he could not break through these rules, then in the domains of those Worlds, he would be no different from a lamb to slaughter, no matter how high his Power Level was.
Fang Bie was clearly in a state of Invincibility in the MC World, mobilizing World Power to suppress others. Even if the opponent was a Creator, when they had no way to confront the MC World in their Worlds, they would have no chance to turn the tables.
"Mythical Creatures..." It wasn't that Fang Bie hadn't attempted to kill some Mythical Creatures from other Worlds, but even though he had accumulated so many monsters that looked like Mythical Creatures in the Void, he couldn't even obtain Mythical Crystals. He then knew that this thought of his was just wishful thinking.
It seemed that only Native Creatures belonging to the MC World, that is, those monsters he saw in the Blood Moon, as well as some monsters hidden behind certain areas in other Worlds, could obtain Mythical Crystals.
Fang Bie waited for the people around him to truly grow to the Mythical Realm, and take them to Hell or The End to eliminate those monsters that were terrifying in themselves. As for now, since there was no way to go to those places, he could only find means to increase the monsters for himself.
A brand-new Mod or a completely new World was actually the simplest choice. He always believed that this choice would not be wrong. As for the method of choosing...
Fang Bie's face flickered slightly, and the white Stone Brick in his hand changed into Moss-like Stone. He slowly built such a Door. The thing in his hand lightly tapped the Block beside the Door, and profound Power surged out from his body, "Open Teleportation Portal, this time, we are going to Magic World!"
End of Chapter
Dark, damp, and cold were the defining characteristics of this alley. Certain elements imbued with a strange, dark aura made the already inexplicably gloomy air even more peculiar.
The surrounding mottled stone bricks and the somewhat peeling walls bore a shop sign of an indiscernible color, looking as if it had just been made. This alley was clearly not bustling with people; even those who walked here wore black cloaks, their steps hurried.
The three large characters "Knockturn Alley" hung crookedly above the alley entrance. Compared to the alley next door, which was bustling with voices, thriving business, and a constant stream of people, this place felt more like a gathering ground for dark rats.
But if even rats had dark places to shelter, these strange wizards who existed in the shadows naturally also had their own hidden havens.
The alley, which had been empty, suddenly seemed to become crowded in an instant, becoming densely packed. Although almost everyone's faces were obscured and their auras imperceptible, the level of activity here was actually no less than the alley next door.
But there was very little interaction between these people, and they never spoke more than a word, afraid that sinister figures nearby might pry into their secrets.
This place was, after all, the most twisted and sinister hub of exchange in the entire British Magical World. Everyone's origins were shrouded in mystery, and all areas were perpetually enveloped in black mist.
Just then, the Dark Wizards who had been standing on the street, slowly conversing and peddling their wares to those nearby, abruptly ceased their movements, their gazes turning in unison towards the alleyway beside them.
While Knockturn Alley appeared to be a small street for commerce, not all of its streets were lined with houses and shopfronts facing the thoroughfare. Some sections were simply walls, often serving as entrances to hidden passages, or even entrances to the residences of important figures who preferred to remain unseen.
The reason they turned their heads was because in a dark corner, on a wall thick with moss, a door slowly materialized.
This door appeared no different from the surrounding walls, both covered in green moss and imbued with an aura of ancient hardships. If one were to insist on finding a distinction, perhaps it was a familiar sensation that, while not entirely like magic, was still somehow akin to it.
However, almost all of the Dark Wizards were cautious. They didn't attempt to approach the Teleportation Portal; instead, they all involuntarily took a few steps back, wanting to see what would emerge from the doorway.
Under their somewhat nervous gazes, a youth stepped out from the doorway, his face full of curiosity as he looked at everything around him.
All the Dark Wizards involuntarily took another step back. They really didn't want to provoke this youth, because theoretically, all street blocks prohibited Teleportation Magic and Apparition.
Apparition was a type of long-distance Space Travel Magic within the Harry Potter World. Theoretically, if your Magic Power was sufficient, it could transport you from one end of the World to the other.
Yet, this youth, in full view of everyone, had arrived here with such ease. Judging by his gaze, opening this brand-new Teleportation Portal didn't seem to have cost him much Energy at all.
He glanced around. This dark alley, it was unclear where it led. And the shops surrounding the alley were not truly connected; occasionally, a peculiar path would flash into existence, inviting people in, only to sometimes vanish just as abruptly.
"This is the Magic World," Fang Bie muttered to himself. He stretched out a hand, intending to summon his Power.
As a result, in this World, he encountered the same predicament as the MC Event. His body remained incomparably strong, and various spiritual entities could even erupt from within him, but he was unable to unleash any Techniques.
However, Fang Bie wasn't surprised. When he had first arrived in the Super God Universe, it had actually been the same. Fortunately, though, he wasn't reliant on Cosmic Rules for his Power.
"Snap!" Fang Bie lightly snapped his fingers, and a small flame flickered to life on his fingertip. "Good, it seems my special Abilities haven't been restricted!"
Only then did Fang Bie's Eyes begin to scan his Surroundings. This dark Area seemed devoid of people, and even the surrounding Shops were shuttered.
But he could still sense the gazes directed at him from those nearby, as well as the prying eyes of some with ill intent. He slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Excuse me… where is This Place?"
There was no one around, and his voice sounded rather awkward. But he was no Newbie. Suddenly, his Eyes became enveloped in a layer of White Light, and in the originally empty Open Area, numerous cloaked figures instantly materialized.
These cloaked figures, in unison, moved a few more steps to the side, even creating a cleared space around him.
You see, this was just a very narrow Alley, so cramped that people were practically shoulder-to-shoulder. But the surrounding Houses, as if anticipating this, suddenly seemed to leap back on either side, creating even more Distance.
A Shopkeeper hesitantly poked his head out, "Honorable Foreign Wizard, this is Knockturn Alley!"
"Oh, so it's This Place!" Fang Bie nodded, as if struck by a sudden realization. He did have some Impression of this Alley. It seemed to be one of the places where legendary Dark Wizards were most prevalent, and also the prime location for dark and various Underground dealings.
The Wizards present all wished for this powerful Foreign Wizard to depart quickly, because the simple Fire Starting Art that Fang Bie had inadvertently displayed earlier made them realize that he must be a Great Wizard who had concealed his Age, capable of casting spells silently and unleashing Magic wordlessly.
"Okay, nothing to see here!" Fang Bie naturally switched from the somewhat peculiar magical language he'd been using to English Language, which he was more comfortable with. After all, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, and his Language skills were, indeed, quite proficient.
Then, he waved a hand behind him, and the Teleportation Portal above, covered in moss, had already changed its form, completely embedding itself into the Doorway, becoming one with the Wall, indistinguishable from it.
Just then, the Wall suddenly moved, revealing a large section of Space behind it, and another new Building materialized there.
Fang Bie looked at the new Building with some Surprise, which revealed an unfolded Shopfront. A gaunt Old Man moved items from within the Shop and placed them Outside the Door, hanging a Sign that looked rather dilapidated.
[Borgin and Burkes]
Fang Bie hadn't known either that, in the Original Story, these Shops could actually pull off such peculiar tricks. But thinking about it, it made sense; almost all Building appearances and exteriors underwent transformations, so why couldn't these Buildings?
Fang Bie glanced at it and unhurriedly walked inside. Just as he stepped inside, everyone outside finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This mysterious Great Wizard's Aura was simply too terrifying. The oppressive force emanating from his mere words and movements alone was enough to make Everyone feel extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, now these Matters would be left to Old Borgin to handle.
End of Chapter
"Welcome to Borgin and Burkes… uh… this foreign Great Wizard?" A greasy-faced, middle-aged Mage – no, actually, he looked more like a shrewd merchant.
He sported slicked-back hair, gleaming with oil, which, combined with his somewhat chubby face, further accentuated his shrewdness.
Fang Bie's gaze slid from the merchant's face to his Surroundings. Beside him were two oval display windows made of transparent Glass, through which everything inside could be seen.
He nodded, "Mmm."
Fang Bie didn't want to say anything to the boss of this largest Dark Magic Shop. This person must have a very powerful background in this World; otherwise, it would be impossible to open the largest Dark Magic shop in this alley rife with Dark Magic.
Fang Bie walked straight inside. From the outside, it merely looked like a small Shop of a few square meters, with one wall packed with Items.
But upon entering, one found a completely different World. The entire Room seemed to have been elongated by some inexplicable Power, appearing exceptionally wide and vast. The middle-aged, fat man's movements also seemed somewhat comical in this Shop.
"Mister, you walked into my Shop without a word, exactly what do you want? This is Borgin and Burkes Magic Shop, and we may not have what you are looking for. Why don't you tell me what you want, and let me see what I can show you?"
He asked, following Fang Bie. The youth quickened his pace as he walked, browsing the display windows in the Shop.
Fang Bie had finally resolved a major Doubt from his Childhood. If this Shop was only this small, how could it contain all the numerous Magic Items from the Original Story?
Whether it's the Vanishing Cabinet, Ravenclaw's Crown, or Hufflepuff's Pendant, all are among the Items in this Shop. Even Voldemort (the most powerful Dark Lord of the second era in the Magic World) wishing for Items from this Shop would only attempt to steal them, not simply plunder them.
Fang Bie had long suspected that this World was probably not as simple as it appeared. Many Magical Noble Clans were hidden behind this seemingly dim and somewhat decadent Era.
Just like Harry Potter's best friend Ron, his father, as the Dark Lord's greatest Enemy and a key Member of the Order of the Phoenix, was actually able to continue working at the Ministry of Magic when the Dark Lord was in charge; this showed just how much more powerful these Magical Families likely were than imagined.
However, Fang Bie was only satisfying his own Curiosity. He had come to this Magic World primarily to experience the feeling of Magic and the way this World controlled Rules, which was completely different from other Worlds.
Having just arrived at This Place, he had already noticed the Rules that were almost palpable in the air. Even if they weren't particularly explicit, they were still remarkably complete.
Fang Bie glanced at his Surroundings, paused for a Moment, and pointed at a set of Bloodstain-stained Playing Cards in the display window, "I want this Item!"
"Blood Playing Cards? Mister, though I didn't want to mention it, I must warn you: four people who have held these Playing Cards have already lost their lives! And those four were not Muggles, but renowned Great Wizards!"
A flicker of surprise Radiance crossed Borgin and Burke's Face, but it was quickly masked by a serious expression. However, what his Eyes truly revealed was a shrewd and greedy Gaze.
Fang Bie shook his head. "Since I want them, I certainly have a way to deal with it. How much?"
"150 Galleons, Mister, and you should know that's already a very reasonable price."
Borgin and Burke said, squinting his small Eyes. While he couldn't gauge Fang Bie's true Value, it was clear this person was not lacking in Money.
Fang Bie nodded. He'd never really understood the concept of Gold, but he didn't have any Galleons from this World either. A gold brick materialized in his Hand.
"Is this enough?" Fang Bie asked. He clearly saw that the moment the gold brick appeared in his Hand, a completely undisguised greedy Gaze surfaced in the other man's chubby Face and small Eyes.
But as a Merchant, he had excellent professional ethics. The Gaze that had been hesitant immediately turned firm. He put on a pair of Dragon Hide Gloves. The rough Gloves allowed him to handle the Playing Cards while being protected from their Magic Power.
"Mister, I believe this is a pleasant Deal. However, please put on Gloves as well. These Playing Cards carry a strange Curse and potent Magic Power, and cannot be directly handled with bare Hands."
Fang Bie nodded. Though he wasn't afraid of these Curses himself, he decided to respect local customs and avoid any unnecessary Trouble.
Borgin and Burke placed the Playing Cards on the table, on a Cloth of indiscernible Material. Then, he Cautiously wrapped them, placed them in a Bag seemingly made of a special Material, and Cautiously handed it over.
Fang Bie gently took the Bag. The Magic Power and Curse within immediately became clear to his Sight. He had guessed right; these Playing Cards did indeed contain Magic Power linked to Life and Death. The Aura of Death was so potent he could almost smell it even from a considerable Distance.
Borgin and Burke was holding a small Balance Scale, weighing the gold brick. A wooden Wand slowly appeared in his Hand. He gently tapped the gold brick with it, and only a speck of Dust was removed from the gold brick.
"Oh! Pure Gold, almost unbelievable! The quality is simply astonishing!" he exclaimed, but his Hands didn't stop moving. After placing several weights on the other Side of the Balance Scale, they finally balanced.
"400 ounces, Mister, you truly are a High Noble!" he exclaimed. But his Hands didn't pause; instead, they moved even faster.
"One ounce of Gold is worth two-thirds of a Galleon, Mister. I still need to give you 120 Galleons in change, please wait a moment…" Happiness nearly overflowed from his chubby Face as he walked to a Cabinet at the back of the House. After a clattering sound, he pulled out a pile of golden Galleons and then put them all into a Bag.
That Bag was only Palm-sized and clearly imbued with the Undetectable Extension Charm, giving it a sufficiently large Space inside to hold all the Gold.
This type of Charm was also evident in the surrounding Houses, explaining why Houses that appeared only a few square meters from the outside could be tens or even hundreds of square meters inside.
Fang Bie didn't say much more. He casually placed the Bag of Gold and Playing Cards into his Backpack. Only then did he slowly step out onto the Street. And the instant he stepped onto the Street, the Store behind him suddenly transformed into another, unfamiliar Store.
Fang Bie touched the Gold Coins in his Hand. These were the so-called Galleons, made by the Goblins of the Wizarding World. They were embossed with a Dragon Mark circled on the surface, and a Currency code engraved on the Side.
He decided to first visit the Wizard's bank, Gringotts. He was curious to see just how much Money this chubby Fellow had swindled him out of in this Deal.
End of Chapter
The gold in Fang Bie's hand did not actually come from the MC World, because all objects in the MC World actually have Mythic Attributes, making them not very suitable to be used in other Worlds. If some special Change happens carelessly, then the Disaster in the Void might replay in these Worlds.
He did not linger too much in this dark Alley. He could feel some Magic here that was hindering his Space Transfer. He would only be able to avoid it by using Quantum Armor, but he did not intend to do so.
Gringotts was in Diagon Alley, next to Knockturn Alley. It was the largest Building in the Alley, a Bank controlled by Goblins.
Fang Bie looked at the modern Clothing he was wearing and felt somewhat out of place here. Although it wouldn't affect anything, since he had already come to the Magic World, it would be a pity not to do as the locals do.
Fang Bie first cast his Gaze towards the Shop next to him. At the Doorway of this Shop, a pair of Scissors that seemed to move on its own, clearly just a Pattern of Scissors, yet had a strange Power freely dancing in the Air.
"Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, the most famous Clothing Shop in all of Diagon Alley!" Fang Bie marveled at this Shop. As a Clothing Shop that almost every Hogwarts Student in the Original Story would visit, this Shop did not seem particularly large.
However, since Fang Bie learned the Undetectable Extension Charm, he felt indifferent to these cramped Places. He walked in generously and saw the plump Witch inside who seemed to be idle at the moment.
Madam Malkin's busiest Time was during the Hogwarts Start of Term, when countless Students came to her Place every day for Body Measurement and Clothing Purchase.
It was currently the Hogwarts Start of Term. Although Diagon Alley was still very popular at this Time, her Clothing Shop indeed had little Business. Seeing a Youth hurriedly walking towards her, she quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"Mister, welcome to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. May I ask what you need?" she said as she walked up to Fang Bie.
Fang Bie Nodded. "I need a few Robes, preferably well-fitting and able to perfectly conceal my Body!"
"Of course, Sir, every Robe from Madam Malkin is well-fitting!" Radiance of pride flashed on her Face. "May I ask if the concealment you mentioned is to conceal the Face, or just the Body?"
"Just concealing the Body is enough. The Color should be black, purplish-black, or bluish-black. It's best to have some more complex Decoration, not too monotonous."
Madam Malkin took out a Magical Item similar to a Measuring Tape from her pocket, walked to his side, and gently pressed it against his Body. The Measuring Tape immediately popped out, circled around his Body, and then retracted again.
"Sir, we have many sets of Clothing here that you need. You can come and choose carefully." Fang Bie also saw the row of Clothing hanging on the Wall. As Madam Malkin waved the Wand in her hand, these Clothes all stretched and shrunk in size and appearance, turning into tempting Clothing.
...
Half an hour later, he walked out of the Clothing Store, having changed into a very well-fitting bluish-black Robe, with a flat-topped wizard hat on his head. Looking at the small Purse that was almost half empty, he decided to go to the Bank first.
Diagon Alley, the largest Street in the British Magical World, was actually just a small Alley that had been enchanted with Magic. Although the Crowd was dense, it was not particularly crowded.
At the end of this Alley, a White Jade-like Building easily caught their Faces. Of course, the Name of this Building was also very conspicuous: [Gringotts].
The safest Place in the entire Magic World besides Hogwarts, of course, only referring to England, was because there was an Elder named Dumbledore in Hogwarts. As the greatest white Wizard in this World, the Place where he was located must be the safest Place in the entire Nation.
And this Bank opened by Goblins, which was the only Bank in the Magic World recognized by all Wizards, this Bank spanned Everywhere. Except for the Eastern Mysterious Kingdom which was not covered, even distant America had traces of Goblins.
These Little Fellows who looked strange and were short in stature were naturally not easy to deal with. Although they had lost in the War with Wizards, they had won their Footing and successfully grasped the Lifeline of Deal, Money, and Bank.
Fang Bie slowly walked into this Bank. He was wearing a very expensive Wizard's Robe, so no one cast Doubtful Gazes at him. Some people were just surprised by his Appearance, but Eastern Wizards in England were not uncommon, and this surprise quickly faded.
Fang Bie very keenly felt something. This World was also the first World he had discovered without its own Willpower. Because he did not feel the Will of Heaven lingering around him.
For someone who had been loved by many Worlds, this Feeling could be described as extremely Anomaly. Fang Bie could clearly know that the Willpower of this World did not like him.
In other words, if this World did not have its own Willpower, it should view all Creatures indifferently, like a Machine. It itself has no Emotion, so how could it have Emotion towards people? Not to mention the Goodwill he could enjoy in other Worlds.
It was precisely because of this that Fang Bie became even more Curiosity about this World. If it weren't because this World existed in the Database of the Creator Alliance, and was indeed one of the ordinary Universes, he would even have thought that this World should at least be a Universe of the same level as the MC Universe.
Fang Bie's Gaze swept past the Store beside him and saw in the Store next door that sold broomsticks, an exceptionally exquisite Wood Broomstick was displayed in the Shop Window, being pointed at by some people.
However, this Shop was quickly submerged by the Crowd. He raised his head and looked at the Bank in front of him, one by one, short in stature, with pointed noses and pointed Ears, Goblins raised their heads and looked at him.
Crystal-like chandeliers hung in the Bank, illuminating the entire Bank. Goblins were sitting on High Stools behind a row of long Counters. Some were focusing on Ledgers, some were weighing Money, and some were talking in detail with the Wizards in front of them.
Fang Bie saw that they were putting some Rubies in Small Carts and pulling them towards some Doors inside. There were many Doors in this House, as if they all led to different Areas.
He turned around and found a Goblin who was idle. It was not the peak season at This Place, and about 1/3 of the Goblins were still idle.
"I would like to exchange some Galleons. I don't know who I should look for?" Fang Bie asked. He still had no Power on him at this Time. The Power originally accumulated in his Body seemed to have vanished into Formless under some Function of the World.
(End of Chapter)
End of Chapter
"Exchange? Are you using material gold or gemstones, or some precious books? We don't accept Dark Magic Items here!" The goblin in front of him sniffed his nose, seeming to smell a bit of Dark Magic Aura on him.
Fang Bie shook his head. He was a little curious about how these little fellows could detect that bit of Dark Magic Aura from him, but these were not the Key Points.
"Naturally, it's some gold." He said.
The tense expression on the goblin's face eased slightly. They didn't care about Dark Wizards or White Wizards; they only cared about whether Dark Wizards would come and cause trouble for Gringotts.
"Just put it here!" he said, impatience filling his small eyes. The quill in his hand was still writing and drawing non-stop on the large book in front of him, but his eyes had already looked up. "Put it on the table, and I will help you weigh the weight and estimate the value!"
"Alright!" Fang Bie answered very readily. Right in front of the goblin's surprised gaze, he waved his palm, and a whole Gold Block appeared in front of him, a Gold Block a full cubic meter in size, directly covering the goblin's entire table.
"Oh!" The wizards and pedestrians present all expressed amazement at this scene. The idle goblins also jumped down from their tables one after another, touching this huge gold with their old and slender fingers.
"It has been a long time since we have seen a wizard directly exchange gold for Galleons. I didn't expect such a large block to come at once!" the goblins said with some emotion.
They quickly recovered from the noisy commotion, using both hands and feet, and seemed to use some strange incantation to move a huge balance scale over, and then moved the gold onto the balance scale.
"35273.9619 ounces. According to the latest international gold price ratio released by the Ministry of Magic, after deducting a 3% service fee, we will give you 34214 Galleons. Someone will take you to your vault later, and you will see them there."
After a period of busy work, the goblin returned to face him again, and even his words changed to honorifics. However, their fees were really exorbitant. According to this ratio, they directly charged almost 1000 Galleons in fees.
Fang Bie thought of Borgin and Burke again. However, Gringotts Bank was still considered good. According to this ratio, that fat fellow named Borgin and Burke directly swallowed nearly 1/3 of his gold at once.
Fang Bie waited in the main hall for a moment. The goblins specially took him to a side hall and kindly served him tea.
Before long, a goblin with a slightly younger appearance came to him and said softly, "Hello, Mister, Griphook is at your service."
Fang Bie looked at this young goblin with slight surprise. He didn't expect that the goblin who led the protagonist into the vault in the original story would come to him like this.
Fang Bie followed him to the entrance of the underground vault, which was one of the many doors in the main hall. After opening the door, there was a long downhill slope and two metal rails that looked like they were emitting Magical Aura.
A cart was parked in front of the rails. The two climbed onto the cart along the steps. Then, with a whistle from Griphook, Fang Bie felt the cart under his feet rush downwards at a speed he couldn't understand at all.
He remembered that it was mentioned in his memory that Gringotts' vaults were hundreds of miles underground, and after quickly falling down the rails, one could quickly reach there.
The path of the rails was unremarkable. Fang Bie had long since become a true Mythological Life. The discomfort of this rail actually had no way to influence his body.
Fang Bie could clearly see that many strange creatures were tied on both sides of the rails. These creatures did not look too strange, but they were all famous creatures from mythology and ghost stories.
He had even seen three dragons. Compared to the strange dragons in other Worlds, the creatures of this Magic World were more like real Giant Dragons.
"Vault 473. The goblins have just deposited all your money into it. Please follow me!" Griphook carried the chandelier on the cart and illuminated the door of the vault with the light of the chandelier before slowly taking out the key from his arms and opening the vault.
"This is the vault…" Fang Bie sighed at the doorway. As the door slowly opened, he saw gold coins piled up inside like a small mountain.
He then stepped into it and estimated it. He took the smaller pile of the three and a half small mountains, which was close to ten thousand Galleons. This should be enough for him to use for a long time.
After all, in the Original Story, a wand was only seven Galleons, and the most expensive Flying Broom, the Firebolt, in the entire Magic World was actually only more than 300 Galleons. Calculated in this way, what Fang Bie had in his hand was already a huge sum of money.
He took the key from Griphook, watched the vault door slowly close, and once again took the small rail minecart, slowly returning to Gringotts.
"Also, exchange all of these for Galleons for me, and by the way, help me exchange these Galleons for Bronze Knuts and Silver Sickles." Fang Bie threw out three more Gold Blocks that were a full cubic meter in size, and also threw out the 120 Galleons he had exchanged from the Borgin and Burkes shop.
The goblin in front of him calculated very quickly. These Gold Blocks had all been taken away by them. This time, their movements were much simpler, and the quill in his hand calculated very quickly as well.
"Seventeen Silver Sickles for one Galleon, twenty-nine Knuts for one Sickle, for a total of 9860 Knuts and 1700 Silver Sickles. Esteemed Mister, all of your remaining gold coins are placed in your vault. You can go there with your key in the future."
The goblin's face already showed a look of longing. For creatures like them who keep money, people who possess money are the objects of their longing.
"Of course, you can choose better vault storage services. This is the list!" Fang Bie saw the list in front of him. Hiring a dragon only cost 1000 Galleons a year, and other premier prices were even cheaper.
"Then get a Hellhound!" Fang Bie pointed to a large dog that always looked very fierce. The dog in the picture actually jumped up happily after hearing this news.
"Okay!" The goblin answered very quickly and then bowed and left.
Fang Bie also left this goblin bank at this time. Since the things he possessed could not be used, he naturally had to think of some other methods, at least to learn something special to protect himself.
He was already very curious about the unique and special Magic system of this World. However, if it came to this, Fang Bie thought again about what he should do next.
He wandered around the doorway of the Daily Prophet for a while, and then turned and left. Now was not the time to come here. This Daily News Office actually did not report some particularly important things, because many things were hidden behind the shadows, in places that most civilians did not know about.
Fang Bie then turned his gaze to his target building. This was a small and dilapidated shop that looked short and broken. The gilded signboard above it had peeled off, and in the dusty shop window, on a faded purple cushion, a short wand was placed lonely, revealing a sense of dilapidated information.
