I, the leader of the secret sect, will do great things in the infinite world!

"Since Merlin Ambrosius, the magic world has been passed down for thousands of years. Wizards have been defeated several times, but magic itself is undefeated forever!"

The reporter of the "Daily Prophet" recorded all this with a fanatical style, and all the wizards who witnessed Grindelwald's speech fell into the ultimate frenzy.

The Dark Lord is completely different from Voldemort.

He doesn't like to kill, nor does he spread terror. He just uses words to make all wizards agree with him from the bottom of his heart.

The weapons of thought are far more powerful than the intimidation of the Death Curse.

The day after Gellert Grindelwald's proclamation, Hogwarts Headmaster, greatest White Wizard of all time, living legend, Albus Dumbledore publicly voiced his disapproval.

The most legendary white wizard is actually the most conservative wizard.

In the sky above the North Sea, the White Wizard and the Dark Lord faced each other head-on. If the Ministry of Magic of the entire twelve countries hadn't maintained order, perhaps less than half of the people in Europe could have seen the flames burning through the clouds.

Grindelwald has played the Fiendfire Curse well. His dark blue Fiendflame is not only amazingly destructive, but also has strong plasticity and operability. Although Dumbledore disdains to use Fiendfire, it does not mean that he Can't handle flames.

Gublai fairy fire, also known as the eternal fire.

Or call it by another more famous name: Vulcan clears the way.

When the crimson eternal fire rushed out from the tip of the Elder Wand, the clouds above the North Sea were swept away by the scorching flames, and the indescribably majestic flames ran majesticly and majesticly across the sky. The raging dark blue Firefire overwhelmed it little by little.

The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic believed in Dumbledore so much that they believed that Dumbledore had defeated Grindelwald once and could defeat him a second time.

However, just as they were holding such thoughts, the majestic Gublai Immortal Flame was... split in two by Grindelwald.

It was a golden-purple spell.

The duel ended in vain, and it wasn't until a week later that Grindelwald admitted that this was a new spell he created himself, called "Ambrose's Antlers".

Wizards in the wizarding world call it the "Wand of Merlin".

As this fruitless battle came to an end, Gellert Grindelwald has more and more followers. Centered on Durmstrang and Hogwarts, the wizarding world once again fell into a turbulent turmoil. in the tide.

In addition to this, it is the second abnormal phenomenon.

That is "counterfeit money".

But compared to the huge waves caused by Grindelwald, only the goblins of Gringotts would worry about such things as counterfeit currency.

After all, it is none other than these "goblins" who are in charge of the economic lifeline of the magic world.

91 The Wheels of History Keep Rolling

At first, the fake galleons were only found in certain shops in Knockturn Alley.

Gringotts didn't care about all of this. After all, the group of dark wizards in Knockturn Alley could do anything, and as a currency made of magic metal, the Galleon system was already unbreakable.

The reason why a counterfeit coin is a counterfeit coin is that it is impossible to spend a high price on the coinage process, otherwise the minter would be unprofitable.

In the Muggle world, the cost of making counterfeit money is low and the profit is huge. You only need to invest some money to open a small counterfeit money workshop, and the cost can be recovered in less than half a month, and many criminals are on the road of no return.

In the magic world, every piece of magic currency has a certain kind of "information" that only fairies can read, making Gold Galleons inherently anti-counterfeiting. This is why the Gold Galleons system is recognized by wizards.

However, in just one week, a big business related to the trading of magic items brought a large amount of counterfeit Galleons to the market.

The goblins of Gringotts finally felt that something was wrong.

However, when they got the counterfeit currency, they were shocked to find that the slightly reddish metal currency was actually extremely pure gold!

Who the hell would do such a thankless thing?Aren't those who make counterfeit money just play no-cost business!

More importantly, this currency also has some kind of magical effect that they cannot read, which means that this currency also has anti-counterfeiting marks.

At this point, the currency could no longer be called counterfeit, and the goblins at Gringotts knew full well that it contained even more gold than the Galleons they issued.

Since it is impossible to tamper with this currency, Gringotts will go after the business of trading magic items. In short, it is necessary to find out who is trying to shake Gringotts' position.

However, when they continued to pursue, the clues pointed to Durmstrang strangely.

Everyone knows that the current Durmstrang is the lair of that Gellert Grindelwald. 0.⑧ ③ ⑦. [-] ② ∨.⑨⑤

In other words, this new currency is promoted by none other than Grindelwald's forces. Its purpose is to no longer be constrained by Gringotts, and to be completely independent from the economic, educational, and political systems!

In this regard, Gringotts is completely like the old eight eating cakes, and it is hard to tell.

Could they still hit the door with great fanfare, accusing Grindelwald of not talking about martial arts?

Even Dumbledore, who was holding the Elder Wand, could only fight Grindelwald [-]-[-]. These goblins were probably used as firewood before they reached the gate of Durmstrang.

In this state, the currency known as "New Galleon" began to enter the market in a mighty way.

What puzzled Gringotts was that Grindelwald never publicly admitted all of this. Even though counterfeit money continued to flow into the market, the money still had the appearance and shape of Galleon.

Only the people at Gringotts could tell the slight difference.

Obviously they have the ability to formulate a new currency system, but why do they still appear in the form of Galleons?

The goblins, still in their medieval money-lender status, sensed a certain uneasiness, but they could not grasp it at all.

However, very few people know that the maker of this counterfeit currency is not Gellert Grindelwald in their imagination, but the little-known Abraham Learing.

After mastering Si Chen's secret biography, Li Lin finally didn't have to go to Nian to rub a pile of money every seven days. He could make counterfeit coins all the time, and the system recognized that these currencies were all of the same kind, that is to say, when they were released When placed on the table, they can be stacked in the form of cards.

This means that Lilin has become a mobile mint.

More importantly, Li Lin's Gallon not only got the endorsement of Grindelwald, but also faintly got the support of the pure-blood families in the UK, especially the Malfoy family.

How else can we say that the comprador family was the first to betray the country?

However, the Malfoy family has always been like this. Before the "Secrecy Act" was promulgated, they were attached to their wealth status and opposed it, but they soon realized that if they supported the "Secrecy Act", they would be able to establish Occupying an important position in the Ministry of Magic, the Malfoy family turned into vocal supporters of the Statute of Secrecy, which made their wealth and power enduring in the years that followed.

When Voldemort was raging, they became Death Eaters and joined Voldemort. After Voldemort fell, Lucius Malfoy immediately claimed that he was controlled by the Imperius Curse and paid a sum of money. Bail, to prove your innocence.

It can only be said that this family that claims to be the most powerful among the 28 pure-blood families is actually not as good as Kosche.

It’s a little bit sloppy.

Under this mistaken recognition, Li Lin and Sirius completely occupied the entire Knockturn Alley and most of Diagon Alley. The most prosperous center of the British wizarding world has fallen into Li Lin's hands.

It's a pity that these wizards and goblins didn't realize the importance of the financial heart.

After all, compared to the confrontation between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, this kind of economic matter can barely be used as a joke after dinner.

In this turbulent atmosphere, Hogwarts freshmen began to enter Diagon Alley one after another, accompanied by teachers or wizard parents, to buy their wizard robes, pets, textbooks, school supplies and wand.

Standing in the small courtyard of the Leaky Cauldron, Cho Zhang looked at the tall black-haired witch in green robes with excitement and whimsy on her face, who was Hogwarts vice-headmaster Minerva Professor McGonagall.

Not only Qiu Zhang himself, but the Zhangs were also watching excitedly. After all, their previous studies were all in China. After working in the Ministry of Magic, they would not have much time to come to Diagon Alley, let alone come to Diagon Alley. Had this amazing experience.

Professor McGonagall just smiled knowingly, and she was very willing to satisfy the curiosity of the two rare oriental wizards.

"Just count three bricks up on the bin -- and two down the line -- and tap your wand on the wall three times, and that brick will vibrate and a hole will appear through it."

She drew her wand, moved it up in sequence, and tapped the brick three times.

The brick suddenly dented, and then centered on it, the surrounding bricks also collapsed, folding to both sides and disappearing, and the Diagon Alley hidden behind it opened up to visitors.

"Wow!"

Qiu Zhang's eyes widened.

In front of you is a spacious, tidy, and continuously extending cobblestone street. On both sides of the long street, countless transparent windows emit warm light, and above your head is a vast starry sky constructed with magic, where magical creatures and wizards in robes appear together. , pale-faced vampires and werewolves flashed past in the distance, everything was so in line with the magical world imagined by the girl.

"It's really unique." Mr. Zhang admired sincerely, "It seems that Western wizards also have merits."

Mrs. Zhang also agreed on the sidelines.

Only Minerva McGonagall was in brief shock.

Why the hell did Diagon Alley become like this?

92 Diagon Alley×Taobao Offline Store√

Whether it's a werewolf or a vampire, they are creatures that shouldn't appear in full view of the public, not to mention the dragons flying in the sky, the unicorns walking on the streets...they should have lived in the Forbidden Forest s life.

"Seeing is worth seeing." Mr. Zhang happily said to Professor McGonagall, "As the center of the magic world, Diagon Alley really lives up to its reputation!"

Professor McGonagall hesitated to speak.

She was tempted to say that this wasn't Diagon Alley's normal state at all.

Before she finished preparing the manuscript, two well-dressed guides came out from nowhere, their faces looked extremely soft under the starry sky, and people couldn't help but have a good impression of them.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Diagon Alley."

"Diagon Alley has tens of millions of discounts, super value discounts, premium quality, and a complete range of products. Come to Diagon Alley and choose what you like!"

"It's the oldest season of Hogwarts among the eleven wizarding schools. All products in Diagon Alley enjoy a [-]% discount. Show the Hogwarts acceptance letter to receive the coupon immediately, and pay with Gold Galleons You can also enjoy more discounts!"

"May I ask if you have brought the admission notice?"

Mrs. Zhang froze in place, then Mrs. Zhang frantically took out the admission notice from her handbag and handed it to the well-mannered attendant.

"Congratulations." The attendant showed an impeccable smile, "I wish your child success in Hogwarts in advance and become a talent soon."

He took out his wand from his waist, drew an arc in the air, and a piece of parchment flew out, on which a number "7" was depicted with a bronzing pattern!

"What is this?" Mr. Zhang took the parchment and looked it up and down.

"Sir, this is a coupon." Another attendant took a step forward and explained to them, "When you go to Madam Malkin's Robe Store, Illa Owl Store, Ollivander's Wand Store, and Patky's Crucible Store Enjoy an extra [-]% off your purchase at any of the four chain stores!"

"This......"

Surprise flashed in the eyes of the Zhang couple. The above four stores are the stores they must visit this time. Whether it is buying wizard robes, pets, or magic wands, it is great to save an extra sum of money. but.

"Sorry, gentlemen. It's a bit strange to say that - but I've never heard of such a discount before."

The speaker was Minerva McGonagall, who finally found a chance to interrupt.

The two attendants looked at the witch who spoke, and one of the wizards smiled: "Professor McGonagall... I am Palmer Humphrey, and I came from Hufflepuff at Hogwarts nine years ago. Graduated from Qi Academy, if you wish, I can accompany you on your travels."

McGonagall nodded slightly. Hufflepuff College is the most tolerant of the four colleges. They value the efforts, tolerance, loyalty and fair competition of their members more than a certain trait.

That's why Hufflepuff has the most wizards among the four colleges.

"So when did this amazing change start?" After Palmer joined them, McGonagall, who couldn't contain her curiosity, asked the question.

"If you say the exact time, it should be a month ago." Palmer reported a shocking answer, "In fact, many wizards were not used to sudden changes at the beginning, but we can always tell the difference." What is good and what is bad. Soon the wizards accepted it all, and set out to transform it with great enthusiasm. . . Oh, Gringotts is here."

"There seems to be something new about Gringotts."

Mag frowned and looked at everything in front of him. This place is still a bustling financial center. A large number of wizards come and go here endlessly, and the air is filled with joy and wonderful smell.

"Of course, of course." Palmer laughed, "Professor McGonagall, you must have heard of New Galleons, right?"

"New Galleons... isn't that counterfeit?" Minerva McGonagall sighed, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, but couldn't tell.

"Of course not!" Palmer took out a golden red magic coin from his pocket, slyly pinched the center of the gold coin with two fingers, and signaled them to approach him.

Whether it was Qiu Zhang, the Zhangs, or Professor McGonagall who couldn't suppress his curiosity, they all took a few steps closer.

"Listen carefully." Palmer took the gold coin to his mouth, took a breath, and put it in Qiu Zhang's ear.

"Mom! It's making a sound!" Qiu Zhang said to his mother, his eyes lit up.

After taking the Galleon from Palmer, Mrs. Zhang followed the same pattern and put the gold coin to her ear, and also heard a crisp buzzing sound.

"It's true, Professor McGonagall!"

Mrs. Zhang handed the Galleon to Professor McGonagall, which made Mr. Zhang, who reached out to pick it up, a little embarrassed, but Palmer took out another Galleon from his pocket and put it in Mr. Zhang's hand, defusing it skillfully. an awkward atmosphere.

When that distant and crisp metallic hum sounded, both Mr. Zhang and Professor McGonagall seemed to have opened up a new world.

"It's amazing..." Professor McGonagall clutched her chest habitually, "Is this the newly released Gold Galleons from Gringotts?"

Palmer replied without changing his face: "Although the issuer asked for secrecy, wizards have a rumor that this special Gold Galleon may have been issued by Gellert Grindelwald."

The smile on Professor McGonagall's face stagnated.

She naturally knew that after that fruitless duel, Gellert Grindelwald had become the leader of half of the wizards in the entire European magic world.

McGonagall took a deep look at Palmer: "This is at least the British wizarding world, and the Dark Lord will never become the master of Diagon Alley."

"Of course." Palmer answered fluently, "But King Gallon is not at fault, please follow me, the procedures at Gringotts are a bit cumbersome."

McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief, she knew the quality of a Hufflepuff very well, and it was harder than heaven to hear the little badgers lie.

In the wizarding world, Hufflepuff has always maintained an achievement: on the one hand, they have recruited the most wizard apprentices, but few dark wizards have emerged from them, which is simply great.

After they entered Gringotts, a goblin in tailor-made clothes came forward to receive them. The procedures for exchanging Galleons were indeed boring and tedious, but when those goblins walked over with a few bags, even Qiu Zhang Also raised the spirit.

They noticed that some of the gold Galleons redeemed by Gringotts could produce metallic vibrations, while others could not. However, since even the goblins of Gringotts did not say anything, the wizards would not raise objections.
