Chapter 4 4, Secret Realm Exploration
"Are you still human!!!?"
Hoffa grabbed Indo's collar angrily, and roared, "Why do you want to gamble with my subsidy!"
Indo was taken aback, and quickly patted Hoffa's veiny hand, saying, "Isn't this a disguised investment? Right, that little money is not a problem. Oh, why are we fairies short of money? Look at you." In a hurry."
Hoffa let go of his hand panting heavily, he was almost not pissed off by the goblin.
"are you serious?"
"Trust me," Indo said, thumping his chest.
"I promise you will have the book and the wand before sundown, if you do as I tell you."
Hoffa gave the goblin a cold look, no matter how he looked at him, he was not pleasing to the eye. Fortunately, Dumbledore would find such a guy to do things, and he even said that he was a good goblin.
"What am I going to do?" Hoffa asked.
"First, we're going to Diagon Alley."
Indra said with a smile, and stretched out his slender fingers, and tapped three times on the wall in front of him.
The wall immediately trembled like a living thing, and amidst the rustling dust, a wide archway was quickly separated, leading to a winding cobblestone road with no end in sight.
And at this very moment.
An inexplicable voice suddenly sounded in Hoffa's mind.
Ding!
The wizard's secret realm has been discovered, and the system has been activated.
This system is a compulsory education system.
This system exists for two purposes only.
One, the host must complete the seven-year Hogwarts magic education.
(If it cannot be completed, coercive measures will be taken if necessary)
Two, to help the host to better explore and record the world. Whenever the host completes a secret exploration, the system will reward them.
[Current Wizarding Secret Realm - London Wizarding Market]
Complete 50% of the secret exploration - you will get [one-third of spell fragments]
(One-third of spell fragments, containing strange energy, you can upgrade one of your spell abilities after getting three pieces)
Complete 100% of the secret exploration - you will get [Great God's Knowledge]
(The knowledge of the Great God is mysterious and unpredictable. Before you have it, you have no idea of its possible power)
hiss!
Hoffa was stunned for a while, but fortunately his heart has become much stronger after a series of accidents. He carefully browsed through the information in his brain several times.
It's not surprising that I have a system on my body.
The function of the system is quite satisfactory, complete the task, and then get the reward.
It's just that the name of this system seems a bit weird.
Compulsory education system, must complete the seven-year magic education....
Hoffa always felt that something was weird. Could someone refuse to study at Hogwarts for 7 years? As strong as Voldemort, he stayed in the school honestly for seven years before leaving, which shows the charm of this school.
But the system also said that if it cannot be completed by itself, coercive measures will be taken if necessary.
Funny, I never missed class in my previous life, okay...
He tried to ask the system, but the system didn't answer. The only change is that after obtaining the system, an empty green slot appeared in Hoffa's sea of consciousness.
It shows, [Currently exploring the secret realm 0%]
Looking at the empty slot, Hoffa knew in his heart that he could only get rewards if he continued to explore. There are two types of rewards, [Spell Shard] and [Great God's Knowledge]
It's just that I don't know the purpose of these two things for the time being.
After confirming that he read correctly, Hoffa withdrew from the sea of consciousness.
...
Indo saw Hoffa standing there stupidly for a while, thinking it was his first time in Diagon Alley, and was surprised.
After waiting for a while, he pushed Hoffa: "Don't look, let's go, we still have a lot to do."
After studying the system, Hoffa nodded to Indo.
The two walked into Diagon Alley.
Compared with the decadence and tension of the Muggle world outside, the world of wizards is extraordinarily leisurely and colorful.
There are all kinds of materials in each window, such as baskets of red feathers, blue bat eyes, and strange silver instruments. All kinds of auspicious wind chimes hanging at the door.
Those wind chimes have small mouths, and whenever someone passes by, they jingle and sing together.
The words they sang were not words to attract business, but some nice old sayings, which Hoffa couldn't understand.
Some storefronts are very hidden. After he has to go in, the systematic exploration green slot will increase.
For example, in a corner store, there is only a small wooden cabinet for brooms at the door.
If you didn't look carefully, Hoffa almost thought it was a warehouse for storing sundries, but when you walked in, you found that it was a wizard restaurant with gorgeous decoration, and house elves shuttled back and forth inside.
Of course, what left the deepest impression on Hoffa was a store named ---[Persius's Weather Blanket], and there was a row of small characters under the big gilded characters on the sign--
(Are you still worried about acclimatization? Are you still troubled by the upside-down of day and night? For only 50 Galleons, you can choose your favorite weather. It can be fun at home, and can be carried for travel, only 50 Galleons. What are you waiting for, hurry up and buy!)
Weather blanket?
Hoffa had never seen this kind of store, nor in the original book, so he walked in as a matter of course.
He was stunned when he entered. This store really sells the atmosphere.
On the blanket on the left side of the shop, it is a thunderstorm with lightning and thunder, and a dark cloud is raining in the sky, sputtering.
The blanket on the right is a dry desert area, and several mini camels are walking around in the desert.
In front of the desert is the rainforest climate again. There are lush forests everywhere, and the parrots in the forest are alive and kicking. As soon as you approach, your face will be covered with moisture.
Hoffa also saw a wizard wearing sunglasses lying on a deck chair beside the rainforest area, basking in the sun...
A store owner next to him was recommending his products with a smile on his face.
"How about it, is it real enough? I guarantee that you will never experience the feeling of basking in the tropical rainforest in other places in the UK."
The wizard basking in the sun climbed up from the deck chair.
"Yes, it's about the same as I expected, but I think the humidity should be raised a little bit more. There will be more parrots in the middle of the forest."
"okay!"
The store owner waved his magic wand, and immediately, amidst the singing of parrots, the entire rainforest rolled up into a blanket.
Neatly folded.
After the wizard paid the money, he took the blanket and left contentedly.
Hoffa walked and watched in surprise.
There are all kinds of weather in the store, endless grasslands, snow-covered glaciers, beautiful islands, and even rumbling volcanoes that are about to erupt at any time...
The shop owner came over and asked, "Hello, are you going to buy a weather, or customize a favorite weather?"
Hoffa Haoran.
"I'll just take a look..."
Indo covered his head and shook his head.
Ten minutes later, Hoffa and Indo walked out of the Perseus weather shop. The ability of the wizard made him feel more and more miraculous.
Of course, as he walked, the green slot in the sea of consciousness slowly increased.
Exploration rate is thirteen percent...
Twenty-two percent...
Twenty-nine percent...
Thirty-seven percent...
Indo was very dissatisfied with Hoffa's slow-moving attitude, and he kept reminding Hoffa that time is money.
Finally, an hour later, when Hoffa stopped in front of a clothing store, the green slot was up to forty percent.
Mojin robe shop.
Hoffa looked up at the sign, he was familiar with this store.
Because one day many years later, the friends Malfoy and Harry Potter met for the first time in this store.
As for now, it is probably more than ten years before Malfoy's father Lucius is born.
Sighing secretly, Hoffa was forced into the door by Indo.
Inside the store was a somewhat hunchbacked man with a hooked nose. He was wearing an elegant purple robe, and he scanned the door with gloomy eyes. His squinted eyes stayed on Hoffa's worn shoes and socks for a long time.
Indo didn't care, he jumped towards the counter carelessly. Then he took out a gold watch from his pocket and threw it to the hunchbacked man.
"As usual, Mo Jin, rent a suit."
Mojin took the gold watch, his eyes fixed on Hoffa.
"Your guest this time seems to have little potential."
Indo said: "You don't care about this, Mojin. According to the rules, if you don't come back within an hour, my grandfather's watch will be left to you."
"Hmph." Mojin shoved the gold watch under the counter, and shouted over his head.
"Paulina, come out to work!"
Hoffa didn't know what they were talking about, but it seemed that this shop was a family shop, and the hunchbacked boss didn't know what his relationship was with the future Mrs. Malkin.
However, he knew the answer in the next second.
As old Mo Jin shouted, a pink and tender little loli pushed away from the counter and jumped out.
"Come on, Dad, don't yell so loud!"
She was half a head shorter than Hoffa, and looked only eight or nine years old.
Although she was small, she moved very nimbly. As soon as she saw Hoffa, she immediately pushed him onto the wooden bench.
"Straighten your hands."
Hoffa stretched out his hands obediently, wondering if this little girl named Paulina is the future Mrs. Malkin? He was born to be in this line of work. It's just that she didn't change her husband's surname, and I don't know if she ever married.
Hoffa thought with interest.
Polina didn't know what the boy was thinking. She measured Hoffa's body size up and down, and asked, "Are you a freshman here to order school robes?"
Before Hoffa could speak, Indo hurriedly yelled, "Hey, little girl, we're not here to buy school robes. You have to make my client look handsome, like the handsome prince of ancient Persia."
Old Mojin snorted disdainfully.
Polina stuck out her tongue and made a face at Indo, then turned her head and whispered to Hoffa: "Why are you messing with him, goblins have no good things."
Hoffa sighed, "It's hard to say."
Although old Mojin looked snobby, his tailoring skills were still there. Ten minutes later, Hoffa looked completely new.
He was wearing a luxurious red robe with dark golden patterns, knee-high calfskin boots on his feet, and his black hair was neatly combed. Indo even snatched old Mojin's ring and put it on Hoffa's hand.
Now he looks like a descendant of a big pure-blooded family.
Standing in front of the mirror and looking at himself, Hoffa suddenly wondered how handsome Voldemort would look in this suit.
Rubbing his pointed chin with his long fingers, Indra suddenly turned to Polina in question. "Do you like him now?"
The future Mrs. Mojin blushed, kicked Indo hard, turned and ran away covering her face.
"It seems that the effect is almost reached." Indo snapped his fingers.
"Let's go, Your Highness, we are very busy today."
After admiring himself in the mirror, Hoffa suddenly crossed his arms and looked at Indo, and said with a smile, "You want to wrap me up and drag me to Gringotts for a loan, don't you?"
Indo was so frightened that he took two steps back and almost fell to the ground.
The old Mo Jin next to him was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Fairy, goblin, you also have today, why, how does it feel to be seen through by a young boy?"
Hoffa sneered and said, "If you want me to say, you lost my stipend, but your gold watch is worth some money, why don't you pawn that watch to me. It's my compensation."
Indra jumped so high that it was as if there were springs under his feet.
"Absolutely not, there are many ways to get money, but I only have one watch, absolutely not, absolutely not!"
"Really? Then tell me, what is the interest rate of Gringotts? How much are you going to take me to borrow by dressing me up like this? And how much will I have to repay the money I have borrowed now?"
Hoffa stood calmly in front of the goblin, looking down at him.
"I only believed you because of Dumbledore's face, but what you did made it hard for me to continue to trust you."
Old Mo Jin muttered softly: "Merlin's beard is on top."
Cold sweat dripped from Indo's forehead. He looked at Hoffa in front of him and murmured, "Running Gorgon, are you really only 11 years old?"
Hoffa untied the tight neckline and sat on the stool.
"You have only two choices, one, pay me the gold watch, and two, explain your plan to me clearly."
Indo smiled wryly and ruffled his hair.
Ten minutes later, Hoffa and Indo, dressed in fine clothes, walked out of Madam Malkin's shop, and they were on their way to Gringotts for a loan.
No matter how hard Hoffa tried to talk, Indu did not promise to pay him the gold watch. But he told Hoffa all about his plan.
Now that the situation in Europe is tense, Gringotts is taking the opportunity to expand to other European countries, which requires a lot of foreign partners, and Hoffa's mixed-race face can bring him a lot of convenience. Pretend to be a foreign aristocrat, and take a venture capital fund from Gringotts.
Indeed, these tricks of Indo are nothing to Hoffa who has experienced the information explosion era in his previous life.
But I have to say that this guy is indeed a bit clever, and he dared to take advantage of such a big bank's loophole. And it looks like this isn't the first time he's done it.
It was also Indo who patted his chest to ensure that he had succeeded many times and that all risks would belong to him, so Hoffa agreed to take a risk with him.
I really need the funds to study at Hogwarts.
