"It's interesting." Rhys glanced at the goblins in the hall and raised his eyebrows: The wizards of later generations are really full of martial virtue!
Thousands of years ago, the unruly king of his own tribe and the goblins who had fought several wars with the wizards were willing to work for the wizards and run the bank for them?? It was obviously not a sign of conscience.
Heh, the youngsters really one-uped them!
After secretly giving a thumbs-up to his successors, he walked to the bank counter and explained his purpose to the goblin behind the counter.
The goblin behind the counter was wearing glasses to examine gems. When he saw a girl in shabby clothes and a child with no hair on her face, she couldn't help but feel a little cold.
It didn't bother to take off the eyepiece, and while observing the gems in its hands, it just asked Rhys and Lupet to put the items for sale on the counter, and then it heard a crackling sound.
The goblin raised his head in annoyance and wanted to scold the two of them for not scattering biscuits and other sundries on the counter, but a pile of colorful gems came into view, choking all its dissatisfaction and complaints in its throat.
"Let's estimate it," Rhys said calmly.
The little expression of the goblin in front of him naturally cannot escape his eyes, but he can completely understand it - greedy and despicable, snobbish and stubborn, this is the nature of the goblins. It is better to say that it is this attitude that makes people understand that the one sitting in front of them was a greedy goblin, not a house elf.
Distant memories surfaced in his mind, and he recalled a past incident between Gryffindor and the Goblin King Ragnuk I.
Gryffindor once found Ragnuk, the king of goblins, and commissioned him to forge a sterling silver sword decorated with rubies for him.
However, the greedy goblin changed his mind after making the sword and wanted to take it for himself. He had to give it to Gryffindor at the moment but his heart was still greedy for that sword, Ragnuk had sleepless nights and finally came up with the bold idea of stealing the sword back from Gryffindor.
Ragnarok claimed that Gryffindor had stolen the sword from him, and used this lame lie to drive his subjects to go to Gryffindor to ask for the sword.
Gryffindor fought off all the goblins and enchanted them, asking them to go back and tell Ragnuk that if he dared to do such a thing again, Gryffindor would kill him and that too with this sword made by him.
Ragnuk was cowarded and never mentioned the sword, but the legend that Gryffindor had stolen the sword began to spread in the goblin society...
Thinking of this, Rhys couldn't help but snort.
What a ridiculous race and a ridiculous king. He wanted to take away goods purchased by others through those shitty means based on roomers. Does he really think that the world revolves around their race?
In Slytherin's opinion, all these goblins, male and female, old and young, should be killed, their heads used as decorations, their bones and meat fed to snakes, and their fat made into candles—— This was also the reason why Ragnuk did not dare to send people to find trouble with Slytherin even though he also bought something from the goblin, because Slytherin would really do that.
Goblins have despicable blood flowing in their bodies, and they are born despicable. Judging from his observations today, these bad qualities have not dissipated in a thousand years.
It's a pity that some of my friends thought that I was a bit extreme and were unwilling to cooperate with me, so these disasters have been allowed to go unchecked until now.
"Fifty-seven Galleons, sir, this is the highest price I can offer." The goblin's voice floated into his ears, pulling him out of his memories and back to reality.
boom!
Before Rhys could say anything, Lupet couldn't bear it anymore. She rushed to the counter and negotiated the price with the goblin. In her opinion, fifty-seven Galleons was a lot, but compared with the pile of gems, it seemed too little.
Gemstones, unlike precious metals such as gold, do not have a very specific price trend curve today. The price of high and low prices depends entirely on the buyers and sellers. The goblin has long been used to the situation like Lupet's. He patiently explained to Lupet, explaining the reasons for the price he quoted in terms of color, clarity, cut, and weight. It was very well-founded.
How could Lupet know this? She was stunned for a moment after being told by the goblin. In the end, she only asked the goblin to increase the offer from fifty-seven to sixty.
Rhys also had some research on gems. Seeing that what the goblin said was pretty much the same, he didn't go into details with it. Anyway, he is just here to exchange for some money to buy clothes. He hasn't taken out the really valuable magic props yet.
He really didn't want to stay here for a long time in a place crowded with goblins.
After putting a large pile of gold Galleons into his wallet, Rhys ignored the goblin's suggestion that he open an account at Gringotts and left quickly.
After wandering around Diagon Alley for a while, he came outside a clothing store called Twilfitt and Tattings Clothing Store.
This is a shop that specializes in selling wizard robes. Compared with another ready-made clothing store called Madam Malkin's Robe Shop, the clothes here are made of higher quality materials, are more popular among wizard nobles, and are more expensive.
Ah, let's just call it TT clothing store.
The TT clothing store is very large, with smooth and flat marble floors inside. Even during the day, hundreds of candles are still lit in the crystal chandeliers, adding a soft golden light to the clothes in the store.
Different from other stores in Diagon Alley, the shelves in this TT Garment Store are arranged very neatly and are widely spaced. They are not cramped at all, giving people a feeling of openness and grandeur.
After just a cursory glance at the decoration of the store, Rhys decided to buy clothes here.
The pursuit of decency and pomp was almost imprinted in his soul. Even when he traveled and adventured with his friends, he tried his best to be perfect in all aspects: clean accommodation, delicious and hygienic food, decent clothes... these are what he insists on.
Pushing open the door, accompanied by a pleasant ringing, a beautiful woman wearing a gray silk robe and a gold brooch walked out from behind the counter quickly, and enthusiastically and elegantly called the two to enter the store to buy.
Without showing contempt for the two people's shabby clothes, the woman first introduced herself to the two.
"I'm Isabel, the store manager of the Diagon Alley branch of Twilfitt and Tattings Clothing. Welcome to both of you.
Twilfitt and Tattings Clothing is a symbol of refinement, luxury, and elegance. Whether it's high-end custom-made fashion or handmade accessories, from classic timeless styles to the latest popular robes, they all represent our ultimate pursuit of quality and a unique understanding of fashion. Whether you are looking for daily wear or need to choose the corresponding clothes for special occasions, we can provide you with the most perfect choice.
Welcome to experience the unique charm of Twilfitt and Tattings Clothing—this is your wisest choice! And we look forward to bringing you an unparalleled shopping experience."
Faced with Isabel's enthusiasm, Lupet was a little at a loss. She had never seen such a scene before. Second-hand robe shops would not have such thoughtful service.
Rhys was not at all shy. He told Isabel that he wanted to buy a few sets of clothes for himself and Lupet.
Lupet: "? !"
She didn't expect that she could also benefit from the master's light and buy a set of clothes in a clothing store of this level.
To Rhys, Lupet was his attendant anyway. If she was dressed in rags and looked shabby, would he look very proud? Of course not. He wanted his attendants to dress more decently than the daughters of wealthy families. This was true elegance.
"Okay, please wait a moment." Isabel waved her wand without any hesitation and summoned a ruler.
Just as she was about to ask Rhys to stand on a footstool so that she could measure his height, the doorbell of the store rang again.
