Chapter 108: Kanon and gold

Judging from this news, Bertha Jorkins has disappeared.
Although she was just a humble Ministry staff member, she unexpectedly knew two very important information.
One is Barty Crouch, the director of the Department of International Magic Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic, secretly letting his son Barty Crouch Jr. out of Azkaban and using the Imperius Curse to control him, because Barty Crouch Jr. is an extremely loyal Death Eater, even though Voldemort has been down for thirteen years (Bertha’s memory was erased by the old Barty’s use of the oblivion curse, but obviously his control over the oblivion curse is obviously not clever).
The second is an event that has been interrupted for centuries. There is a Triwizard Tournament jointly organized by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Boothbarton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Will reopen!
Bertha, who was on the mission of the Ministry of Magic in Albania, was caught by Peter, then stunned and brought to Voldemort...Her memory was drained by the mind of the goddess, and her secrets had nowhere to hide.
Voldemort, who knew these two information, quickly returned to England, rescued his loyal servant Barty Crouch, and prepared to use the Triwizard Tournament as a bait to lay a huge conspiracy.
...
But what does this have to do with yourself?
When the sky fell, naturally someone with a crooked nose was against it...
Anyway, I'm only in the third grade, and there are still four full years before I reach 17 years old; unless the Goblet of Goblet is blind, it is impossible to choose my own.
What fire dragon, mermaid or sphinx, just let Cedric and Harry play by themselves.
It's a pity that Cedric, a great young man with two blooming styles, will have to see Merlin in less than a year... But it's not too bad to be reincarnated as a vegetarian vampire anyway?
There is also the poor Qiu-Zhang, who was a widow at the age of 16 and was later abandoned by the savior...
Okay, I think a lot.
In fact, the only thing to worry about in the next year is that the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher is a Death Eater...
But in a sense, this is a good thing. In order to gain the trust of Dumbledore, Barty Crouch Jr. must teach students seriously to reflect his value.
I just can find an opportunity to learn some knowledge about dark magic from him.
After all, most of the books on dark magic in the forbidden book zone were hidden by Dumbledore decades ago.
Just wait until the end of my third grade, with Voldemort's comeback... everything has to be serious and nervous!
A "mudblood" like himself and his relatives are the priority targets of the Death Eaters.
If possible this semester, find a way to approach Mrs. Maxim, the principal of the Boothbaton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and see if there is a chance to transfer!
...
After returning to 86 Eastleigh Road to adjust his work and rest for a few days, Jon felt that he was almost ready to combine work and rest, and now he had to start doing business.
With the big bounty of Sirius Black, Jon will never be as ashamed as an ordinary Muggle student.
He sent an owl and went to Diagon Alley in London with a long list of potions materials.
He almost bought a few large packages of all kinds of medicinal materials. The rented room used to make potions was already filled with all kinds of medicinal materials; although it took hundreds of gallons, this In the summer vacation, he can at least let go of making potions.
Regardless of buying "luxury goods" such as Firebolt, in fact, it is difficult for him to spend these thousands of gallons...
Money? Putting it in Gringotts won't produce money, so it's better to use it.
For this batch of Jin Jialong, Jon has already thought of a special usage.
...
One day at the end of July, the dark-skinned and tall "Varian Wrynn" reappeared in front of the Wilson Hardware Store.
"Mr. Wrynn!" Robert Wilson hurried over and shouted enthusiastically.
There is no doubt that in front of him, this strangely named Mr. Wrynn is a big customer.
"I want to know something!" A few banknotes were handed over, and Varian Wrynn whispered, "Is there a place to melt and sell gold?"
"Gold?" Mr. Wilson couldn't help frowning, and asked softly: "How much?"
"There are a lot!" The other party said calmly: "It's close to 1,000 ounces, the color is very good!"
"What!" Mr. Wilson took a breath: "This is a big deal, of course, Mr. Wrynn, I have a way!"
He followed Mr. Wilson into the house vigilantly. After a few minutes of brief discussions, Jon left here with satisfaction.
At the same time, before leaving, he paid Mr. Wilson a large reward.
...
There is no doubt that Jin Jialong is gold.
The rarity of gold in the wizarding world is far lower than that of ordinary people, and it is not even a precious metal.
Perhaps the gold hundreds of years ago was considered precious, after all, the value of Jin Jialong at that time was 10,000 times that of later generations.
But with the rapid development of alchemy, times have changed.
The most famous item is undoubtedly the Philosopher’s Stone (Sage’s Stone). Another name for it is the Philosopher’s Stone... it can turn any metal into pure gold!
Although there are few records about the Philosopher’s Stone in history, it at least exists. For example, the famous French alchemist Nick Le May owns one; the gold made from the Philosopher’s Stone is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.
There are also many alchemical techniques that can produce a large amount of gold. Although it does not require any cost like the Philosopher’s Stone, it also greatly reduces the price of gold~EbookFREE.me~ At the same time, with the progress of Muggles' gold panning technology , And the discovery of two huge gold mines in San Francisco and Melbourne; many wizards often sneak into Muggles’ gold rush camps, use obfuscation spells, and steal gold at the same time... This behavior was not strictly prohibited until 1888.
In fact, according to Professor Bins’s explanation in the history of magic, the goblin rebellion in 1612 was caused by gold... Because the value of gold at that time dropped, the wizards forced the goblin to abolish the old currency system, which caused the fairies. The strong opposition.
The final outcome of the goblin rebellion is the victory of the wizard, and Jin Jialong is forced to depreciate 10,000 times; in this way, the goblin can no longer control the lifeline of the wizard through gold coins.
At the same time, the "Guidelines for the Use of Magic Wands" in 1631 also banned the right of fairies to hold wands, which made them lose the ability to resist.
Until 1865, wizards allowed elves to take full control of Gringotts and allowed them to have coinage rights.
The relationship between wizards and fairies has only entered a period of relaxation for more than 100 years...
