"Good job!"
After Lockhart left, Aini showed up and praised the little witch without hesitation. .seven
Originally, he was afraid that the girl would not have a deep experience in the world, and she would not be able to grasp some key points in the plot, and he had even thought about how to save the scene after being exposed.
Unexpectedly, the two friends around him, no matter it was Sylvie or Hermione, one of them was considered to be a showman, and they perfectly achieved the desired effect in Aini's mind.
Especially the girl who sat on the sofa the whole time. Although she was still young, she handled the majestic Queen Fan quite well.
Not to mention Lockhart, even Aini can feel the awe-inspiring atmosphere watching from the sidelines.
"Haha, it's over, aren't you tired of holding on?"
Seeing that the girl was still sitting upright, Aini rubbed Hermione's little disheveled head, signaling her to relax.
Hearing that, the girl pursed her lips, of course I knew it was over, the Lockharts are all gone, okay?
In fact, Hermione wasn't pretending to be majestic at all just now, the queen look was just tense and stiff...
After learning the truth, Aini stood behind the sofa dumbfounded, pinching the girl's shoulders to help her relax.
Even though Hermione couldn't see his expression, she could still imagine it.
"Laugh as much as you want, until your hands are shaking."
"It's nothing funny, the shaking of your hands is to help you relax your muscles and bones."
The man was talking nonsense there in a serious manner, and when he was not talking, he laughed silently, not to mention how happy he was.
But there are some things you can do, but you must not do it in the open, even if the other party knows what you have done.
Aini would be a fool if he really laughed out loud. This is not a matter of inconsistency, but a matter of attitude.
"Ten thousand Galleons..."
The girl suddenly sighed quietly, "How much is it in pounds? 5000 million?"
No matter how much it is, it is money that her parents, who are regarded as high-income people, will not be able to earn in their entire lives.
And she just obeyed Aini's instructions, and as soon as her upper and lower lips opened and closed, this sum of money, which was an astronomical figure for her, was about to be delivered to her hands.
"When you get in touch with more, you will know that the role of money in the magic world is not as great as imagined."
Helping the girl smooth out the folds of the clothes on her shoulders, Aini poured two glasses of Lin Lu, handed a glass to Hermione, and touched her with his own glass.
"For your perfect performance today."
Ernie raised her glass and took a sip, but Hermione picked up the glass and said "ton, ton, ton".
"Hermione, how much do you think this glass of Lin Lu will cost?"
After the two put down their glasses, Aini asked a question abruptly.
"Ah, Lin Lu is much better than pumpkin juice, and it also has the effect of some potions. Why do you need a Galleon?"
Hermione thought for a while and said uncertainly that Mr. Weasley had invited her father to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink, but unlike those similar places with inflated prices, Old Tom's pricing was very conscientious. Mr. Granger's drink was already much higher.
"One Galleon? Hermione, even if someone takes out a hundred or a thousand Galleons, they won't be able to drink Lin Lu, because I won't treat it as a commodity."
Aini took out another bottle of Lin Lu from his pocket and helped the girl refill the glass.
"There are many things that Galleons cannot buy. To be precise, only people in the same circle can buy them with Galleons, and most of these things are in the hands of ancient families."
[-] Galleons may seem like a lot, but if the little witch were to spend them, she would only be able to buy some common things on the market.
"It's like Lin Lu, I only use it to entertain friends. The treasures in the big family will only be passed on in the circle. Those powerful alchemy items, magic books with unique skills, precious rare materials, etc. , it can no longer be valued simply by Galleons, but by barter, or as a favor."
Aini spread his hands, Garen is really not that important.
Ten Galleons could keep the Weasleys alive for a few months, and a few thousand Galleons could buy a broomstick.
No one in the wizarding world regulates prices at all, and even the basic system of commerce is not perfect. The reason why a unified currency is introduced is actually more to establish a top-down interest chain.
Why do those ancient families always have difficulty hiding their sense of superiority when facing wizards with shallow foundations?
Because from childhood, the family will teach them some special knowledge.
For example, how to use Gallon to make the low-level wizards serve them.
Those families always have a way to earn back the rewards they send out. After all, in the world of magic, knowledge is the most important means of production.
The monopoly of knowledge caused by pure-blood families cannot be changed by a few talented people. Even Hogwarts only allows knowledge to circulate within limits.
Even Albus Dumbledore, known as the greatest white wizard of the contemporary era and also the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, is powerless to change this.
Just like decades ago, that person who was as amazing and brilliant as him faced failure in the end.
On the same table, even if the huge spoon can sweep all the other knives and forks to the ground, so what?Then what?Is it necessary to use a round spoon handle to cut steak?
Grindelwald didn't lose to anyone.
It is the ideal that has lost to reality.
Lofty ideals can make people forget their lives, and so can intertwined interests.
The two are like water and fire, and the interests are like a basin of water. For each additional participant, a mouthful of water must be shared from the mouths of the rest.The ideal is a fire, and every piece of firewood added will add a little more light and heat.
However, for some firewood, it may carry water. After all, people have to live, and they have to live after survival. If there is such an appeal, they cannot get rid of the entanglement of interests, so the light of the fire is dim, and there will be smoke.
But when the flame is hot enough, a little moisture will promote its burning, and the entangled flies and dogs will be washed away and order will be re-established.
But at that time, the spreading flames will no longer be in the same shape as before, and the transpired water vapor will condense on the roof and drip into the basin again.
As for how much of those droplets were remnants of the old world and how much of them were firewood, who knows?
Aini also doesn't want to know, how big is the heart, how big is the world?
Bullshit!
What he pursues is that no matter how strong his strength is, his heart will wander around in such a circle.
If you cross the line, be careful to be cut off and drink.
His heart is only so big, the respectable teacher, the amiable partner, the cute fur baby have already filled up the space, and everything else is just as it should be.
I am just an ordinary little professor, not a nanny for the public. Although I can't be alone, I can't help the world at the same time.
Seeing the girl's dejected expression, Aini couldn't help laughing, thinking about what to do so much, let's focus on what's in front of him first.
"Haha, be happy, Jin Gallon's basic purchasing power is still very strong, and now you have a huge sum of money to control."
Aini revealed a little more about the future arrangements. Hearing this, the girl regained her vitality immediately, and her two lovely big eyes narrowed into a pair of crescent moons, shining brightly.
