Chapter 337

The things in the shops on both sides of Jiaojiao lane are dazzling. There are wooden signs beside every commodity to mark the price. They walked slowly and looked around to have a good idea of the price here. The self stirring crucible is about 20 gold sailboats, while a gorgeous wizard robe that can change colors needs 25 gold.

These are already a bit of "high-end goods" or "luxury" goods. Ordinary things are relatively cheap. A pair of hardware coins for protective dragon skin gloves is much cheaper than Zhao Mai thought, but he seriously doubts whether the material it uses is real dragon skin. Owl four gold coins for credit. After special training and training, they are very sensitive to human breath. When Zhao Mai passed by, the owls all widened their eyes, staring at him all the way, as if on guard.

Zhao Mai felt that if he turned into a ghost here, he would have to frighten the birds to death.

Although the owner of the broken cauldron tavern said that only Guling Pavilion could get gold coins, Zhao Mai still wanted to have a try. He was welcomed when he came into the shop, but the welcome ended when he heard that he was going to sell. "We don't collect old things here. Let's go to the goblins."

It seems that the gulinger wizard bank is the only choice. The white marble house is much higher than the surrounding shops, and the goblins stand beside the bronze gates and crimson carpets to welcome guests.

Goblins are a kind of magical creatures, which can be seen in any fantasy world except atas. Only the wizard king can completely kill the goblins. The goblins here have swarthy faces, smart small brown eyes, pointed beards, slender fingers and toes. They are very adaptable, even able to adapt to the "good", you know, this is against their nature.

But if you can hear the thoughts in the minds of these goblins, it will definitely make people shudder. They secretly believe that all the witches are working for them and they are their slaves. As long as they hold on to the three magic wands of "saving, charging and interest rate", they can control the whole wizard world. Valuing witches and wizard families is their favorite entertainment, while earning (cheating) excess profits from contracts is as popular with goblins as grand festivals. Fortunately, they haven't learned the rich and colorful financial means in Muggle world, otherwise

By the way, it's only 1918. Many economic means have not been invented, and many world-famous companies have not been established. Zhao Mai thought about it, but let it go. I don't need ordinary money. I only need fate gold coins. I have to make sure if there are fate gold coins here when I go to Guling Pavilion this time.

As soon as they stepped on the first step, a goblin rolled down in front of them. He was wearing lead gray metal armor and clattered as he rolled on the ground.

"Don't try to cheat people with your set of things again!" Two strong goblins, who were obviously security guards, hummed: "we have to serve excellent big people here!"

"My double wands will be popular in the wizarding world! Any wizard can see the benefits, but you stupid goblins can't see them. I'm really ashamed of you The goblin got up from the ground. He looked around and saw that Zhao maigang was close to him, so he had an idea and found him. "Lord wizard, are you obsessed with getting rid of your weapon spell? Do you want to avoid being hurt by this spell forever? I created a way to solve this problem perfectly

Zhao Mai is ready to move to the side, but the goblin is one step ahead to stop him: "I don't delay you for long, as long as half a minute. I'm livillos (from a book friend), a loyal friend and guardian of the wizard. You can think of me as a paladin! " He raised his eyebrows and picked up two sticks from the ground. The tail of the sticks was chained up. "Look at my double wand system!"

"Nunchaku?" Zhao Mai was stunned for a moment. It would be strange if he didn't know this kind of thing any more. When he was a child, he liked this kind of handsome weapon very much. He made it with rope and stick, and asked the children to play together, striving to be a great Xia. However, because the quality is not up to standard, there are often cases of throwing out to hurt people or smash other people's home glass, and there are no less cases of being disciplined for this.

"No, double wand system. No matter when, there is always a magic wand hanging below. In this way, other people recite the weapon mantra except you. When a magic wand flies out, just use the one below. It will still maintain good combat effectiveness! " The goblin livillos stretched out one hand and all four fingers: "only four gold coins can be modified! Absolutely affordable

"Give me a try." Zhao Mai thought of his childhood, so he took over the "double wand system", weighed the weight in his hand, tried the length of the chain, and played it open. Split, sweep, beat, draw, lift and pull, exchange hands in front of and behind the body, and finally swing one of the sticks under the armpit after two turns.

The goblin leviroth's eyes have never been so wide! Zhao Mai put the nunchakus in his hand, and the goblin took it in a daze. It seemed that he was still immersed in the feeling of lightning flint just now. Zhao Mai can finally walk around the goblin.

When they enter the gate, the goblins on both sides bow to them, and so does the second gate. Just like Zhao Mai's car, the interior of gulingge is much larger than the exterior. In the marble hall, more than 100 people sit quietly on the high stools behind the counter, nervously dealing with the mountain of books, bills and notes in front of them. About ten goblins pushed their carts back and forth behind the counter, constantly transporting all kinds of documents and books.There were only two wizards in the hall, talking with the goblins in two windows. Zhao Mai found an unoccupied window - it's too simple - and said to the goblin, "good morning, I need to change things for money."

"We're not a shop, we don't buy things!" The goblin didn't lift his head and said directly.

"Can't you do it, can't you do it or don't you want to do it?"

The goblin finally raised his eyes and frowned at Zhao Mai. He seldom saw oriental faces, especially such "pure" Oriental faces. He made a ferocious expression, Zhao Mai's face is still calm. Finally, the goblin had to say, "go to the end and find our vice president."

The vice-chairman of the goblin bank is an old goblin with white fluff behind his pointed ears. He has a pair of small glasses on his big nose and is tied to his ears with a chain. "You want to change things for money? We don't do business here. "

"All the shops outside say that only gulinger will change things into money. What's the matter?"

"The wizard's shop only serves the wizard. You two don't even have magic wands. Naturally, they won't accept your things, because no one can guarantee that there is no Muggle fool on it." The goblin sat on the high stool and said condescensively, "you can go to the wand shop to buy a good wand, and then pass the wand carrying test or the general wizard level test. After you understand the difference between a wizard and a Muggle, the wizard will serve you."

"But..." Tolkien said, "if we don't have wizard's gold coins, we can't buy magic wands. Isn't that back to the origin?"

"You don't even have money for wands?" The goblin laughs: "there's only one way left: mortgage. You may or may not be witches. When you haven't become a wizard, Gringotts lend you money, and of course they need your collateral. If you don't pay back the money, the bank confiscates the collateral. "

"What can be used as collateral?" Zhao Mai said: "can gold and gemstones be used?"

"This is OK." The goblin scratched the white hair with his sharp claws: "let me see what's there!"

Zhao Mai took out some gold and precious stones. The goblin put on the glasses, then took out the magnifying glass to check carefully, put it on the balance to weigh a few pieces, and quoted a too low price. "This is Muggle's gold. The mortgage rate is 20% (20 yuan for 100 yuan)

"20%? What's the mortgage rate? "

"35% per year." The goblin smiles and looks very happy.

"Is there a difference between Muggle gold and wizard gold?" Asked Tolkien, frowning.

"Of course, there is a difference. One is Muggle and the other is wizard." Goblins lie with their eyes open. He was sure that the two men had come to the wizard world for the first time, otherwise they would not exchange money for wizard money. "According to the Ministry of magic, Muggles should not be allowed to damage the wizard market, so 20% discount is the biggest discount."

"What if I can prove that something belongs to a wizard? What's the mortgage rate? " Zhao Mai asked.

"You can get a 20% discount, as long as you can prove that this gold gem belongs to a wizard, and there is no possibility that it belongs to a Muggle." Goblins laugh. Gold is gold, there is no Muggle, wizard attribute, how can we prove the origin?

"No, I'll mortgage something else. It must be a magic item." Zhao Mai has understood the trick. Goblins use the Ministry of magic regulations, deliberately set such a threshold to make it difficult for the first time to reach the wizard world. Pressure undervalued, hard discount, high interest rates, will be a mortgage into a strong buy! This is the "city gate tax" according to the head.

Zhao Mai naturally has a way to deal with it. He made a strange cold ice sword, but it looked as if it had been taken out from under his robe. The cold makes nearby goblins sneeze, while some security goblins have gathered around nervously.

"This is an ice crystal sword. It has a strong destructive effect on metal objects." Zhao Mai waved his long sword and chopped at the iron fence of the counter. All I heard was a crackle, and the iron railings fell to the ground.

"For different metals, the ice crystal sword has a restraining effect. Even the heavy steel gate will be broken by ice." With a bang, Zhao Mai put the ice crystal sword on the goblin table, and then said, "you can estimate the price."

The strong and extreme force of ice began to penetrate along the incision, and the wooden table froze, dehydrated, scorched black and began to break. The goblins stretched out their slender fingers, eager to touch the ice crystal sword, but they could not bear the cold.

After thinking about it, the vice president solemnly took out a pair of blue gray dragon leather gloves from the drawer under the counter, put them on, and finally picked up the ice crystal sword, but the teeth were still fighting. Waving this weapon, he chopped heavily on the high stool beside him: Wow, the ground broke ice. He also chopped a sword at the metal cart passing by: Wow, another ground of broken ice, and even some gold coins were chopped.

"This..." The goblin tried to hide his surprise, coughed and said, "how many weapons do you have?"

"Talk about the unit price." Zhao Mai said to the goblin, "you've seen it. You should ask for it instead of asking again.""By way of mortgage, we can..." The goblin's eyes turned: "fifteen gold coins!"

"I'll give you two twenty gold coins. Or I'll give you all the swords at the price of 30 gold coins, so that you can get the monopoly of the products. " Zhao Mai said: "otherwise, I'll go to a private collector. Although it's troublesome, I don't believe I can't get some gold coins. This is a real magic item. It's not illegal to trade anywhere. "

"Thirty?" Goblin eyes look to both sides. Many goblins sitting behind the counter secretly nodded, thinking that the business could be done, but they also wanted to maximize their interests. "Twenty two, all swords!"

"You want to control the quantity, one by one, right? If I have time, I can do it slowly. " Zhao Mai said to the goblin with a smile, "twenty eight."

"We pay right away, and the contract is strict and the old and the young are honest. Twenty three

"I've heard that metal gates are used in many places where high-value goods are stored, and so is the gulinger? This sword will be loved by many people. Twenty seven

At last, Changjian was sold at the unit price of 24 gold sailboats and 11 silver sickles. Zhao Mai asked the goblin to issue a contract. After careful inspection, he revised several places that might be unfavorable to him, and the two sides signed a contract.

Then, in the goblin's excited eyes, he took out 14 ice crystal swords, together with the previous one. "Put it away. Don't put it too hot." Zhao Mai rubbed his hands: "give me money!"

369 gold coins and 12 silver coins (1 gold in wizard world equals 17 silver equals 493 copper), among which there is a gold coin of fate! Zhao Mai did not say a word, but he regarded Guling Pavilion as the key target in his heart. It is said that there are countless wealth in the form of gold coins, which can definitely solve Zhao Mai's demand for gold coins of fate!

He and Tolkien opened a separate account to deposit half of the money, leaving only a hundred on each of them. Guling Pavilion thinks that the money is still in its own Treasury after a circle, and as long as Zhao Mai can't pay the interest of 129 after one year, or can't repay all the principal and interest after three years, these 15 magic swords belong to Guling Pavilion!

Zhao Mai didn't even think about paying back! He's going to make the goblins happy! Ice crystal sword left his hand, at most half a year will start to melt. Even if placed in a cold place, it will become ordinary ice in a year. Zhao Mai left a way back in the contract, and handed over the responsibility of custody to the goblin, leaving himself out of the affair.

"It's time to go shopping." Tolkien opened the enrollment notice. The first item on it was the wand.
