READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 4 I don't think I will accept a dragon's kiss
The bustling and bustling Diagon Alley is full of the old-time style, which is very different from the modern urban style, which makes Harry full of curiosity and interest.
There are already many young wizards who are about to enter school here, accompanied by their families, they are starting to prepare their own school supplies.
This gave Harry, who had always felt that he had no friends, hope.
"Is this Diagon Alley?"
"It's a little bit more than I thought, but it looks like fun."
"Hey Hagrid, is this the crucible I need to buy?"
Walking into Diagon Alley, Harry immediately spotted the Partridge's Cauldron shop which was the closest to the Leaky Cauldron. Looking at the cauldron at the door, Harry asked Hagrid with a smile. ..
Hearing this, Hagrid laughed and said, "That's right, this is the crucible you need to use when refining potions."
"But before that, we need to go to Gringotts, which is the second safest place in the world after Hogwarts. We need to go there to collect some Galleons who bought supplies here."
"Coins in the modern world don't work here, Harry."
"What is Garen?" Harry asked curiously.
"Galleons are gold coins in the wizarding world, and merchants like this kind of shiny gold very much." Kate Lyle said with a smile.
"Except for Garen, it's Xi Ke, and finally Nat."
"Sikels are silver coins. One Galleon can be exchanged for 17 Sickles."
"Nats are copper coins, and one Sico can be exchanged for 29 nats."
"Believe me, your parents left you a very rich asset, which is enough for you to squander."
After hearing Kate Lyle's words, Hagrid took another deep look at Kate Lyle, and said somewhat unkindly: "Mr. Kate, excuse me, how do you know that Harry has a lot of money?"
Kate Lyle looked at Hagrid and said with a smile: "Mr. Hagrid, trust me, I have no ill intentions towards Harry."
Although Hagrid is a big and rude man, he is still a giant of 3.5 meters, but his heart is very thin.
Regarding Kate Lyle, he still maintains a bit of vigilance, and at the same time, he is thinking of Kate Lyle's name in his mind, always feeling like he has heard of it somewhere.
"I trust Mr. Kate!" Harry looked at Kate Lyle and laughed.
Kate Lyle smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust, Harry."
The excitement of Diagon Alley, as well as some outlandish things, made Harry's eyes shine, and at the same time he was full of interest.
Various owls, wizard hats, and the flying machine of Nimbus 2000 and so on.
Gringotts.
It is also the only magic bank in the wizarding world. As Hagrid said, this is the second safest place besides Hogwarts, so wizards are willing to deposit their gold and silver treasures in Gringotts.
Gringotts is run by a group of goblins, and these goblins stipulate that only the goblins can lead them to sit on the minecart that rotates underground to reach the vault, and only the goblins can open the vault and take out the deposited property.
They always have their own way of preventing intruders, and have a kind of their own rules to bind each other to prevent their peers from revealing bank secrets.
"welcome!"
At the gate of Gringotts, three goblin guards in scarlet and gold uniforms stood on either side, bowing and saluting.
They look diminutive, but there is a price to be paid for underestimating these goblin guards.
Through the second door, Harry had some special thoughts about the bank.
He also saw the sentence on the door and couldn't help but read it.
"Come in, stranger, but you have to be careful, what will happen if you are greedy, you will be punished blindly, and you will be punished most severely, so if you want to take it from our underground vault, a copy that never belonged to you Wealth, thief, you have been warned, beware not treasure, but evil."
Kate Lyle stood beside Harry and listened quietly until Harry finished reading, then smiled and said, "This is a warning from the elves of the Magic Bank to anyone who has unfriendly thoughts."
"It is said that there is a fire dragon living in the magic bank. He is very powerful. At least, he only needs a flame, and he can easily burn you into dust blown by the wind."
Harry heard Kate Lyle's words, his eyes sparkled, and he said in shock, "Wow, that's cool!"
"I don't think I'm going to be kissed by a dragon."
Kate Lyle heard Harry's words, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Hot kisses?" Harry, is that what should come out of your mouth?
Hearing Harry's words, Hagrid turned around and walked over, patted Harry's head, and said, "Harry, you are still a minor now, you don't need those thoughts, even if you are an adult, you can't ask for the warmth of a fire dragon." Kiss, that's pretty damning."
"Unless you have more magic than Dumbledore."
Harry was a little embarrassed, he understood what he said, and it was misinterpreted by Hagrid and Harry.
In the spacious marble hall, there are hundreds of goblins, all dressed uniformly, sitting behind the long counter, registering carefully and earnestly, they are very busy.
Some use a balance to weigh coins, some use eyepieces to detect gems, and some are checking certain materials and stamping them roughly.
Harry looked at the elves and said in surprise: "Hagrid, there are a lot of elves here, but they are very busy."
"Yes, they're elves, and they're smart, but they're not very friendly, especially when they're busy."
"So, you'd better follow me and don't disturb them."
Harry nodded and followed Hagrid to an elf.
It was an elf with glasses, a long nose, and big long ears, reminded by Hagrid, which made Harry think that they really seemed a little unfriendly.
"Good morning, we need some money from Mr. Harry Potter's vault, Mr. Elf." Hagrid smiled at the elf.
Hearing this, the elf looked at Harry Potter and said, "Then Mr. Harry Potter, have you brought your key?"
Although Harry had already seen the elf, but at this moment, facing the elf's face when looking down, as well as the tone of the speech, and the teeth showing a little blood red when speaking, Harry felt a little flustered.
But Harry still overcame the little fear in his heart, and said, "The key?"
Because Harry didn't know what the key was, he was a little confused.
Hagrid was taken aback for a moment, then realized, and said with a funny smile: "The key? Oh, it seems to be here, let me look for it."
When the elf heard Hagrid's words, he looked at Hagrid.
After a while, Hagrid found the key, and smiled at the elf: "It's so light that I ignore its weight, and I can't feel its existence. Besides, it's too small, my Some big hands can't hold it."
After a pause, Hagrid then took out an envelope from his overcoat, handed it to the elf, and said to the elf somewhat mysteriously, "This is something that Dumbledore needs my help to handle."
"It's about 'that thing' in vault 713."
