People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 221 I'm Not Interested In Price, I Want The Most Expensive
Dumbledore sat back on the sofa slowly.

Tang Sen could notice that he was trying hard to keep himself calm, but the slightly trembling ripples on the surface of the black tea in the cup reproduced the turbulent waves in his heart.

It took a long time before he raised his head, looked at Tang Sen again, and asked in an almost begging tone: "Professor Tang, you are a fortune teller. If you can see the future, tell me that the future will have a different ending, right?" Bar?"

"I mean, not all Horcruxes have to be destroyed to kill Voldemort completely?"

Townsend responded to Dumbledore with sad eyes, and said, "Professor Dumbledore, as I said, the future will change, so there may be hope."

"."

Dumbledore closed his eyes and leaned back, letting his long gray beard spill across his front.

He understood what Tang Sen said, at least in the future that Tang Sen saw, there was no such possibility.

"Professor Tang—"

Dumbledore found that his voice was a little hoarse, so he coughed lightly and said, "You must have heard of that prophecy."

"The man who has the power to defeat the Dark Lord comes near to be born in the family that has resisted him three times, born at the end of July. The Dark Lord will mark him as his great enemy, but he will have powers that the Dark Lord does not know One of them must die at the hand of the other, for neither can live, but only one. The one who has the power to defeat the Dark Lord will be born at the end of July."

"I have always believed in this prophecy. I mean, Harry fits everything described in the prophecy. He did kill Tom. Even if he makes a comeback now, I also believe that Harry must be the one who finally defeated Voldemort."

After listening to him quietly, Tang Sen said, "As I said, Professor Dumbledore."

"When a prophecy is uttered, the future has already been changed. Professor Trelawney has the gift of foresight, but she obviously can't control it. She just instinctively gets the revelation from the future, but she can't tell it out. What is the future after this prophecy?"

"Leaking out the future, especially a profound future, is always a matter of caution."

"So." Dumbledore said: "So this prophecy has expired?"

"You can't try to rely on a little wizard, a student who should be happily studying in school, to defeat a terrible enemy who can threaten the entire wizarding world, Professor Dumbledore."

Townsend said: "This is not realistic, and it is not fair to Mr. Potter."

He stood up slowly.

"I once told my students a passage."

"Fate is not an immutable river. You always think that people's fate is already predetermined, but that is a fallacy."

"On the contrary, as a person who can see the future, I always believe that the future can be changed, and people's destiny is always in their own hands."

He stared at Dumbledore and said, "It is not justice to impose responsibility on others in the name of fate."

"Just escape."

Townsend's words were a bit offensive, and they sounded close to refutation and preaching, but Dumbledore did not show any expression of irritation. He lowered his eyelids, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be a little deeper.

"Escape." Dumbledore murmured, "Maybe you are right, Professor Tang."

"I did put too much responsibility on Harry, I just... I just sort of."

Dumbledore didn't look at Tang Sen, his eyes seemed to be looking into the void, into the depths of the extremely distant memories.

At this moment, Tang Sen felt that Dumbledore in front of him was no longer the eternally wise and calm greatest white wizard of this century, but an old man.

The principal's room fell into silence.

Until the phoenix in the corner suddenly flew up and landed beside Dumbledore, stroking Dumbledore's white hair with its side face.

It was only then that Dumbledore woke up. He patted Phoenix on the head, looked back at Tang Sen, and said, "I'm sorry that I lost my composure."

"Maybe I need time to think. Professor Tang, let's stop today's talk."

Tang Sen nodded and said softly, "If you need my help, you can always find me. No matter what, I am a professor at Hogwarts School."

"In the face of the mysterious person, I believe our position is the same."

He turned around and walked lightly towards the principal's room.

"Professor Tang—"

Dumbledore suddenly spoke again.

"And what about the magician?"

"Does your position agree with his?"

Perhaps because he received too much shocking news during the conversation, Dumbledore no longer wanted to test and deal with it, and unabashedly stated the core purpose of his interview today.

Tang Sen's footsteps paused, he didn't look back, but said calmly:
"I am a fortuneteller, and my position is always in the future."

He didn't stay any longer, walked out of the principal's room, and closed the door gently.

Until the rumbling sound of the gargoyle moving outside, Dumbledore's eyes were still looking at the closed door.

A long, deep sigh echoed in the principal's office.

The days that followed went as planned, and Hogwarts Castle, as well as the entire British wizarding world, seemed to be calm.

For nearly three weeks, Dumbledore never came to see Townsend again, and he seemed to be busier. From the few words of the students, it can be found that Dumbledore seldom appeared even during meal time in the auditorium.

And the resurrected Dark Lord seemed to have never been resurrected. During this period of time, no news came out. The words of Rita Skeeter, a reporter from the Daily Prophet, became more and more sharp, just like this This period of peaceful days is enough to be the ironclad proof that the mysterious man has not been resurrected. She laughed at Harry Potter's lies more than once, and even started to mention Dumbledore's name openly.

As for the "Magician", since the initial report, the Daily Prophet has never mentioned any words of this ambitious man, even though the other party was in the Leaky Cauldron under the undercurrent of the entire British magic world. His remarks are almost universally known.

Many wizards believe that the Ministry of Magic is fully prepared to directly arrest the magician the next time he appears, and then crucify the other party's crimes with absolute ironclad evidence, and imprison the other party in Azkaban forever. Even directly sentenced to death——

Although no wizard has publicly expressed support for the magician's remarks, the Ministry of Magic has realized from rumors that the impact of these remarks is becoming more and more profound. One of the evidences is the abuse of the Muggle Items Disposal Department during this period. Nei was so busy that some employees even submitted their resignations on the grounds that they had become increasingly unable to understand the confiscated Muggle items
Apparently the Ministry of Magic realized they were powerless to deal with the wave of rumors, so addressing the source directly might be a better option.

These external undercurrents did not affect Hogwarts Castle too much. The fear brought by Voldemort has subsided with the passage of time, and the voices of disputes caused by the remarks about magicians that can often be heard appear more and more frequently. Less and less, students' daily life is taken for granted by courses and trivia.

To be honest, compared with those things outside, they hated Umbridge, who became more and more unscrupulous after Dumbledore appeared less often.

The walls of the corridor on the first floor had already been nailed with various regulations by Umbridge. Any student who violated the regulations would be brutally punished, and it was the picket team headed by Malfoy who picketed and inspected the students.

This Slytherin student seemed to have a more gloomy personality after his father's death. He didn't have a smile on his face. Walking in the corridors of Hogwarts, no one was willing to look at him. He always refuted those people without mercy. Those who support the ideas of magicians curse them and even their families.

Professor McGonagall has punished Professor McGonagall for such behavior several times, but with Umbridge's support, the other party has intensified. The most direct impact is that Harry Potter is almost unable to survive at Hogwarts. If If it wasn't for Hermione's obstruction and the sense of accomplishment brought to him by teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts in the Room of Requirement, he would definitely have dueled Malfoy regardless of the consequences.

As for Townsend, his life is simple but fulfilling.

The meat that the Department of Fantastic Beasts sent for processing last time was almost exhausted. It only took Tang Sen a short month to eat a portion that would take two or three years to digest.

Snape's Digestive Potion played a vital role in this.

Although the Potions professor angrily refuted Tang Sen every time, declaring that he would never make potions for him again, Tang Sen could always find a way to make the other party obediently hand over the purple liquid.

The Extraordinary characteristics in the body accumulated more and more during the continuous eating, and Tang Sen felt that his physique had at least doubled - this was based on the fact that the power of the potion in the previous world had almost raised his physique to the limit of ordinary people.

As for magic, his Restoration Charm can ignite flames in a radius of half a meter. If it weren't for his own ability to control flames, Tang Sen would have no way to practice the spell in the Leaky Cauldron.

Of course, these gains have not greatly improved Tang Sen's strength. After all, the abilities possessed by magicians are already good enough. Tang Sen's biggest gain in this month is that he finally understood the ancient metamorphosis. The prerequisite knowledge in the magic research materials.

Although there is still a long way to go to transform living creatures, at the very least, he released the first normal spell after coming to this world.

Transfiguration.

And it's a wandless deformation technique.

He can transform some small, non-vital items into other items, excluding the factor of casting spells without a wand, which is probably the level of transformation of a second-year little wizard-this achievement does not indicate that Tang Sen is good at magic. What a talent he has, allowing him to do in a month what a little wizard needs to do in a year.

In fact, if one compares the study time, Tang Sen may spend much more time and energy in a month than the little wizard spends in a year.

No matter what, Tang Sen can now proudly say that he can be called a wizard.

However, Smaug's learning progress is much more significant. The ability brought to him by the magic potion of the audience sequence makes him naturally gifted with languages. After a month, he can basically use English to communicate with Townsend on a daily basis, and those who boasted His words were practiced to perfection by him.

Obviously, it can't wait to leave the dark and desolate space of consciousness, soaring freely above the sky of another world.

"Calculating the time, it seems that preparations should begin."

Three days before the time agreed upon by the magician at the Leaky Cauldron, Tang Sen stood in the upstairs room of the Leaky Cauldron, facing the mirror. Inside the mirror was an ordinary face.

This was the face of a Muggle that Tang Sen randomly chose on the street. To the wizarding world, it was a face of a pure stranger.

He found a black top hat, put it on his head, let the shadow of the brim cover his eyes, and then picked up a black suitcase beside him.

This suitcase is not the same style as the one he brought out of the tower, but the same thing is that the traceless extension spell is still cast inside it—of course it is illegal, and Tang Sen spent hundreds of gold with another face Gallon, purchased from Knockturn Alley.

After confirming his face in the mirror, Tang Sen threw out a paper figurine, and the paper figurine instantly transformed into Tang Sen's original appearance. Under the influence of hallucinations, he sat quietly at the desk with a book in his hand.

After doing all this, Tang Sen snapped his fingers again, and his body disappeared from the spot in an instant. When he reappeared, he had already arrived at the gate of the Leaky Cauldron.

Unlike before, this image entered the Leaky Cauldron without attracting any attention. In fact, the Leaky Cauldron was overcrowded at this time. This situation has continued since the last time the magician gave a speech. Tang Sen could hear the noisy Words such as "war", "Muggles", and "Internet" kept ringing in the sound waves.

He squeezed through the crowd with difficulty, entered Diagon Alley through the entrance of the back door of the Leaky Cauldron, and arrived at a building with a domed roof and slightly sloping beams and columns.

Gringotts.

As the headquarters of Gringotts in the British magic world, the gate here is full of wizards coming and going. Following the crowd into the gate, you can see that there are counters with a height of more than two meters on both sides of the hall. The goblins are sitting on the counters, looking down condescendingly. with the guests.

This extremely greedy and cunning race runs the only bank in the wizarding world with its almost pathological desire for money. Obviously, their relationship with humans is not friendly.

Of course, this unfriendliness also stems from the unfair attitude of wizards towards them. After being conquered, most of the goblins were deprived of the right to use magic wands. Not much better than a house-elf.

Tang Sen found a counter where no one was handling business for the time being, and stopped.

The goblin on the counter has an extremely pointed and long nose and ears, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, holding a quill with recurved fingers, writing quickly on the parchment, he didn't look at Tang Sen, He just said in a slightly disgusted and impatient tone: "What business do you do?"

Tang Sen was not angry because of the other party's attitude, but said calmly: "I want to buy a vault."

The goblin was stunned for a moment, then finally raised her head and looked at Tang Sen.

"treasury?"

He did not show disdain for Tang Sen's unattractive appearance. Instead, he showed an earnest smile, put down the quill in his hand, and said, "My distinguished guest, what kind of treasury do you want?"

Tang Sen said lightly: "I don't know much about Gringotts' vaults, so—"

"Of course, distinguished guest!" The goblin stood up and said, "Please allow me to introduce you in detail."

"No." Tang Sen interrupted him: "I mean, so, the most expensive one will do."

The goblin was stunned for a moment, he didn't realize it, and repeated: "The most expensive?"

"I'm too lazy to choose. Generally speaking, the most expensive one must be the best. Isn't that the case with Gringotts' vault?" Tang Sen said.

"Of course!" The goblin raised his voice. He stood up from behind the counter and said loudly, "Guest, you are really good at picking things. Please follow me."

With difficulty, he pulled his obese body down and stood in front of Tang Sen. The height of the other party reached Tang Sen's waist. Now, it was the goblin's turn to look up at Tang Sen.

"The guest's eyes are so kind. Gringotts' vault is the safest place in the world. I can say responsibly that since Gringotts was founded, there has never been a single Galleon lost. Almost everyone in the wizarding world Families of many have bought vaults at Gringotts to house the things they consider most precious."

The goblin led the way while chattering about it. According to common sense, people would doubt whether a stranger has such purchasing power. In order to avoid wasting energy, they always like to verify financial resources. But the goblin obviously has a different understanding of this kind of thing— — They will not miss any opportunity to make money!Nor would you run any risk of missing out on money-making opportunities, even at the risk of being tricked.

"Currently the most expensive vault is vault No. 721. Its door cannot be opened by anyone. Only the touch of the purchaser himself and the goblin in charge of maintenance can open the vault. Everyone else will be sucked in by the power of magic, and then they will be stuck." In fact, on the door, the private vault of the famous Professor Dumbledore used this kind of door, of course, for the sake of privacy, I cannot tell you the number of the vault.”

The two sat on a vehicle that looked like a mine cart, and then the vehicle began to descend along the track in a crazy and extreme way, and the goblins of Gringotts seemed to hollow out the entire Diagon Alley It was not until the goblin had switched to the fifth way to boast about Gringotts that the vehicle finally stopped on a small platform.

Townsend could see the number 721 on the rock wall behind the platform.

The goblin politely led Tang Sen off the platform and said, "I can show you how to open the door. After you pay the price of the treasury, you can enter your own information. From now on, only you and I can open this door." Door, of course, I will be the maintainer of Vault 721 as a matter of course. Please don’t worry, I will never touch the contents of the vault.”

"I will maintain it every ten years, and you only need to pay a small maintenance fee. I mean, ten Galleons a year is very reasonable."

Having said that, he opened the door, and Tang Sen could see a space almost as large as the first floor of the Leaky Cauldron.

"If the guest needs a larger space, we can also help you renovate it, only a small remodeling fee is required." The goblin stretched out a finger and smiled all over his face: "It's just an insignificant fee for distinguished guests. "

"That's enough for now." Tang Sen nodded and walked towards the vault.

"Wait. Guest, you haven't paid yet. Vault 721 is the best vault in Gringotts. His price is yes."

The goblin's words were interrupted by a dazzling golden light.

He watched Tang Sen raise one leg, put the suitcase on his lap, and then opened the buckle, which was full of Galleons.

"I'm not interested in price."

Tang Sen tilted the suitcase slightly, and Jin Gallon began to pour out of the suitcase continuously.

"How much money is needed, Gringotts can take it from these Galleons."

While he was speaking, those Galleons were still tilting outward continuously, and soon formed a large pile that almost buried Tang Sen's calf.

"This is not in compliance with the regulations. You must complete the formalities before you can use the treasury." The goblin fixed her eyes on the Galleons, and said quickly, "Of course, for a distinguished guest like you, Gringotts is willing to spend a little time. flexibility."

He suddenly trembled, and said: "I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Dengkou, and I will be your personal manager from now on. I mean, you can come to me for any business, and I will do it myself!"

Tang Sen glanced at him, his face still expressionless.

The goblin didn't care, and said, "Guest guest, this is the box for the traceless extension spell, right?"

He swallowed: "How big is it inside? I mean I have to be responsible for the safety of the guests' property"

"It's enough to fill this vault, Mr. Lamp Button." Tang Sen was not interested in this topic. He placed the box on the top of Jin Gallon Hill, which was already half a person's height, and said, "Speaking of business, I do have a business." Want to entrust it to Gringotts."

"I want to entrust all the gold coins here to Gringotts to manage—"

He squatted down.

".and distribution."
