"Thank you, Mr. Tom."
"Oh Huo Huo, I wish you good luck in magic." Old Tom smiled and patted Su Er on the shoulder. "I heard this from an Oriental guest. I think it's good."
"Goodbye."
The archway began to become narrow, and when the seven people stepped out of the archway, it returned to its original solid wall.
Hermione hurriedly took out the freshman shopping list attached to her acceptance letter from her satchel and began to mutter it.
"We want to buy three sets of black wizard robes, a hat, a pair of dragon skin gloves, and a winter cloak..."
"Before that, we need to change money." Sule patted Hermione to stop her. Hermione had memorized this form before coming here. She took it out now to consolidate her memory.
The four adults stared at everything on the street and allowed Suer to lead them towards the street.
"Guo Guo, I want to eat that." Angel got rid of Hermione's hand and trotted to grab the hem of Soul's clothes.
She was talking about the ice cream shop next to Ella's Owl Shop not far away. A little wizard happened to come out with a cone with four balls in it.
"Okay, Angel, wait until we get the money and come out to buy it for you, okay?" Suer said softly.
The little girl nodded obediently, but still held the hem of Suer's clothes with her hand, and followed Suer inside step by step.
At the end, as Tom said, there was a completely white building.
Next to the shiny brass door, stood a figure wearing a scarlet uniform with gold trim. Mrs. Ellison just took one look at it and didn't dare to look at it again. It was really weird-looking.
It was not tall, about a head shorter than Sur. It had a dark face with a cunning light in the eyes, a pointed beard, and its hands reached to the knees when they were lowered.
It bowed to the seven as they passed.
Mr. Granger wanted to return the greeting, but Mrs. Granger stopped him because she saw other people passing by who did not return the greeting.
When arriving in an unfamiliar environment, the best choice is to go with the crowd.
After entering the brass door, there is a silver door. There are also goblins in scarlet uniforms standing at the door, two goblins.
"Is this sterling silver?" Mr. Ellison whispered, touching it as he got closer and smacking his lips.
Although he did have a lot of wealth, he was not extravagant enough to use pure silver to make the door.
"Yes, sir, this door is made entirely of silver." A goblin suddenly said, squinting at the words on the door.
"My dad is just curious." Suer said aloud.
"Every Muggle who comes to Gringotts is like this." The goblin said, "Visitors need to be vigilant. Being greedy will not end well."
"Obviously, you don't know what etiquette is." Suer said coldly, feeling a little unhappy at the goblin's tone.
Hermione tugged at Soul's clothes behind him.
"Sorry, sir, it just arrived." Another goblin said forward, "It means no offense, Gringotts welcomes all comers, whether wizards or... Muggles."
The goblin said and bowed to them to apologize.
"Hmph." Suer snorted coldly and continued walking inside. The goblin didn't straighten up until they entered the lobby.
"It's just a Muggle-born wizard." The goblin couldn't help but said after being ridiculed by Soul.
"Silence! Don't forget, why were you assigned to stand guard at the door?" Another goblin scolded, "If you still can't change, then when it's your turn next, you will go downstairs to the fire dragon. Food!"
"Besides, are you really sure that he is a Muggle? The smell of pure blood cannot fool anyone."
The goblin stopped talking and trembled all over, as if he thought about what would happen if he went down to feed the fire dragon. Only one out of ten goblins would come back alive.
That thing down there has a bad temper.
After passing the unpleasant silver door, Soul and his party entered the marble office hall of Gringotts. A large lamp made of crystal hung on the high vault, emitting a soft light, lining the The surrounding pillars were golden.
Mr. and Mrs. Granger and Mr. and Mrs. Ellison were amazed in unison.
Hundreds of goblins were sitting inside the counter surrounded by wooden fences. Some were weighing coins with copper scales, some were wearing long monocular glasses to check the gems in their hands, and some were holding quill pens in their notebooks. Swish, swish, move.
Wizards wearing high hats walked around in the hall, which looked strange to Sur and his party in modern clothes.
Soon, a goblin came forward to meet them. On its chest was a nameplate with its name written on it - Dolly.
"Sir." It bowed in greeting, "Excuse me, may I help you?"
"We are new students at Hogwarts, here to exchange some coins." Soul said.
"So, do you have the admission notice?" asked Dolly the Elf.
Soul looked at Hermione, who nodded towards him, patted her satchel, and signaled that she would take it with her.
"Then, please follow me." Fairy Dolly stretched out his hand and led everyone to a counter.
"Muggle currency in exchange for wizard currency." Dolly said towards the inside, bowed to everyone and left.
"Admission notice?" There was a goblin at the counter, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, leaning forward lazily and asking.
Hermione took out two acceptance letters from her satchel and handed them over.
"Two little wizards?" It glanced over, and after confirmation, said calmly, "You can exchange one hundred Galleons. The currency exchange rate is five pounds for one Galleung."
Mr. Granger and Mr. Ellison each took out an envelope and asked Soul to hand it over.
While the goblin was counting the currency, Sur noticed that a wizard next door took a key, and then a goblin took him to a small door next to the counter.
He suddenly remembered the key Dumbledore gave him, so he took the key in his hand and asked,
"Excuse me, this key?"
The goblin glanced impatiently, and his attitude changed.
"Oh, yes, dear customer, this is the key to Gringotts' vault. Do you want to go in and get something?"
"No need." Suer thought for a while and shook his head. Now there are four adults and a little girl waiting to buy ice cream. It is not appropriate to go to the vault to see what his biological parents left behind.
The goblin's attitude changed completely after Sur took out the key. It respectfully put the two hundred galleons in a bag, and then pushed it out on a tray.
"If you need to withdraw items, you can come to me at any time."
"Thank you." Soul took the bag and handed it to Hermione, and then said.
"Let's go shopping."
Hermione carefully placed the bag into her satchel. This was a treasure worth a thousand pounds.
"Buy ice cream." Angel tugged on the corner of Su Er's clothes. She still remembered the greedy man who put several balls of ice cream on it.
"Okay, let's go buy ice cream for the little angel first." Suer gave her a warm smile.
"Oh Huo Huo, I wish you good luck in magic." Old Tom smiled and patted Su Er on the shoulder. "I heard this from an Oriental guest. I think it's good."
"Goodbye."
