The streets at night are no longer as bustling as they were during the day.
Due to the lazy nature of the British, many shops have been closed. Except for shops like Florin's Cold Drink Shop that also serve as hotels, there are only a few scattered small shops on the street that are still flickering with candlelight.
Elena tightened the clothes on her chest to prevent the small food reserve from sliding down her chest, and she couldn't help but speed up her steps.
"It's not business hours now, please go back."
Next to the shiny bronze door of Gringotts, a goblin wearing a scarlet-gold uniform waved his hand and motioned for Elena to leave quickly, obviously mistaking Elena for a child who was still playing around.
"I think there should be goblins in Gringotts who can handle business, right?"
Elena looked at the light shining through the cracks in the bronze door. Unmoved, she walked up the white stone steps to the goblin and said leisurely. The goblin was about a head shorter than her and had a face that looked smart.
Dark face, pointed beard.
"Little girl, this is not a playground. Go home and sleep quickly."
The goblin in uniform frowned, stopped in front of Elena, and said again in an impatient tone.
Ding~
"But, this Galleons told me that it doesn't want to sleep. What do you think?"
Elena smiled slightly, took out a gold Galleon from the small bag, and flicked it to the sky with her thumb.
"Go tell Gallywix and Andy Serkis that there's a big deal from Hogwarts that you want to negotiate with them, and it's yours."
"Ah, of course. You are right, Jin Gallon never sleeps."
A smile appeared on the goblin's dark face, and he reached out his hand to accurately catch the rolling gold coin, bowed to Elena, and moved out of the way.
"Please come in, I will inform them right away..."
…
Gringotts, a well-decorated VIP room.
Elena was sitting in a soft sofa chair, with "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" spread out on her knees, while the little owl squatted quietly on the girl's shoulder, sleeping with her eyes closed.
"Sorry, dear Miss Kaslana, I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long."
The door of the VIP room suddenly opened, and a goblin walked in quickly, his sharp voice a little hoarse. It was Gary Victor, the goblin who had just received Dumbledore and Elena's group during the day.
"Okay, Miss Elena Kaslana. Now that everyone is here, can you tell us what the big deal is?"
Andy Serkis, who was already sitting in the room, rubbed his fingers anxiously and couldn't help but break the silence.
If it weren't for the charm of Jin Galleons and Dumbledore's company during the day, it would have thought it was just a bad joke.
Snapped.
Elena gently closed the page, put it aside, held the food reserve on her shoulder in front of her knees, and slowly stroked its soft feathers while speaking unhurriedly.
"During the day, you once said that Gringotts could provide loan services similar to Muggle banks, right?"
"Like a Muggle bank?"
Andy Serkis sneered, with a look of disdain on his face, "Gringotts appeared far earlier than Muggle banks. Even Merlin has done transactions with us."
Taking a look at the silver-haired little Luoli in front of him, Andy Serkis showed a disappointed expression on his face. He should have known how could an ordinary young wizard really have any big business, and raised his long and pointed
The fingers shook.
"But I must remind you that Gringotts is not a cheap and dirty black market pawn shop. We only accept high-value collateral. If your intention is to steal some rare silverware or magic from home,
If you want to use items as collateral, you'd better try your luck in Knockturn Alley."
Elena nodded with satisfaction, ignoring the scorn in the goblin's tone, and continued to ask, "So, if the loan I want to get is some kind of Muggle currency, and then exchanged for gold Galleons or other Muggle currencies,
Can Gringotts do this?"
"Of course. The Goblin Bank is not just in London. We are present in every wizarding country in the world. No matter how much you want, we can find a way to get it for you. But..."
Andy Serkis grinned, suddenly changed the subject, and rubbed his fingers slyly, "Our handling fees and interest rates are not cheap."
"Honestly, handling fees and interest rates have never been within my consideration range."
Elena shrugged easily, leaned on the soft sofa, and glanced at the two goblins, "The last question, how much authority do you two have to make decisions? I said, this is a big deal.
Buy and sell.”
Gallywix, who had not been able to find a chance to join the conversation since entering the room, patted his chest and said proudly, "Miss Kaslana, don't worry, no matter how big the deal is, we can handle it.
Even if Mr. Dumbledore mortgages all his property, there will be no problem."
"So, what if I mortgage Hogwarts?"
Elena smiled slightly and said softly.
"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"
The two goblins looked at each other with a funny expression, and then let out a series of sharp laughter.
"Hahahahaha, you really know how to joke. But you are right, it is really not the two of us who can make the decision."
Gallywix smiled and shook his head and said, "Such a big deal must be discussed and negotiated by the Gringotts Goblin Council of Elders. Of course, the premise is that you must have...have..."
The goblin suddenly stopped mid-sentence, as if an old vinyl record had been jammed, and made a rooster sound like a throat being strangled.
"Are you talking about this Hogwarts estate certificate?"
Elena took out a roll of ancient yellowed parchment from her chest, slowly unfolded it in front of the two goblins, and said in a relaxed tone, "I told you before, this is a big deal."
"but!"
Before the eyes of the two goblins could change from shock to greed, Elena had a solemn look on her face and said coldly.
"I suggest you not to think too hard, otherwise you will offend the two most powerful wizards in the magic world at the same time."
As he spoke, the silver-haired little Luoli raised his left hand and clenched his fist hard.
Three dazzling oath light marks suddenly lit up on the back of the girl's delicate hand, and two powerful magical auras quickly spread in the VIP room. The dazzling light shone on Elena's delicate face, showing a trace of inviolability.
Valkyrie look.
One of them came from Dumbledore's magical aura, and the two goblins were naturally very familiar with it.
As for another force that can rival it or even faintly suppress it - Gallywix and Andy Serkis looked at each other and got the answer from each other's fearful eyes - Grindelwald!
So, it turns out that everything during the day was just a cover to deceive others? Gallywix took a breath, glanced quickly at the real estate certification document flashing with magic marks, stumbled open the door, and headed towards
A shrill scream erupted from the hall.
"Convene a meeting of elders immediately! Go kick those old guys up! An unprecedented big deal!"
