Actually, this leather pouch could not really be considered poor.
There were more than a thousand Galleons in it alone.
However, for Ternas, who had just obtained one hundred and eighty thousand Galleons, the value of this money was rather limited.
It was not nearly as valuable as a magical artifact with some useful function.
Of course, aside from the Galleons, the leather pouch itself was also somewhat valuable.
It was a leather bag with the Undetectable Extension Charm permanently embedded in it, and the space inside was fairly decent, roughly the size of a large suitcase.
“This could come in handy later.” As he spoke, Ternas put this leather pouch together with the dragon-hide pouch he had previously obtained from Borgin and stored them both inside his spatial ring.
Although the Undetectable Extension Charm of this world looked very similar to spatial magic and did possess certain spatial properties, strictly speaking, it could not be considered spatial magic.
Instead, It looked like a shrinking charm from the outside, but technically it expanded the interior space without changing the object’s external dimensions.
Ternas tried it as well and discovered that these pouches could indeed be stored inside his spatial ring.
He did not know whether this was because the magic systems of the two worlds were different or for some other reason.
However, as far as Ternas knew, it seemed that two spatial rings could not be stored inside each other.
Ternas turned his attention to the final leather pouch.
He held the opening downward and began pouring out its contents.
At first, another pile of coins came spilling out.
There were fewer Galleons this time, only a little over three hundred, and there was not much other loose change either.
After all the money had been emptied, Ternas saw that some other things had also fallen from the pouch.
At first, they were merely some rather ordinary pieces of jewelry and similar items.
This left Ternas quite disappointed.
But soon, his disappointment disappeared, because something else was finally poured out of the pouch.
With merely a glance, Ternas could roughly determine the value of this object.
In terms of its magical fluctuations, its magical power was not particularly strong.
However, its exquisite appearance and gorgeous decorations all indicated that it was far from ordinary.
After all, an ordinary-purpose magical artifact would not go to such lengths to decorate and embellish itself, would it?
Ternas put away the other items.
Those that could be used were stored properly, while those that could not might still be worth trying his luck with, in case he happened to get exceptionally lucky.
Finally, he picked up the magical artifact that had appeared last and examined it carefully.
He did not rashly open the magical artifact, which was shaped like a jewelry box.
Instead, he continuously examined its appearance while using his magical power to sense the magical fluctuations emanating from it.
Although this could not reveal much information, it could at least tell him whether the magical artifact contained curses or similar spells.
After observing and studying it for some time, Ternas somewhat disappointedly put the magical artifact down.
Although it possessed some magical fluctuations, they were not nearly as strong as he had imagined.
Judging from the situation, it was probably not a Dark Magic artifact either.
He placed the jewelry-box-shaped artifact on his workbench and activated the recording function of his exploration goggles.
Although technological equipment could sometimes experience interference in this place, which was filled with magical power, it could at least record some data.
It was better to leave the recording on.
Next, Ternas picked up his pine wand and pointed its tip at the jewelry box in front of him.
As his magical power slowly entered the object, the magic within the jewelry box was activated as well.
Slowly, very slowly, the jewelry box on the table began emitting some extremely peculiar magical fluctuations.
From Ternas’s perception, these magical fluctuations had no practical effect whatsoever.
They merely served a cleaning function.
Only then did Ternas finally give up on investigating it further.
There was simply no need to continue.
It was nothing more than a very ordinary jewelry box with an added function that allowed it to clean jewelry.
Ternas was somewhat disappointed by this.
He had originally been delighted, thinking that since this jewelry box had ended up in the hands of two Dark wizards, it should have been some extremely useful magical artifact.
He had never expected it to be something like this.
What Ternas did not know was that the Doreke brothers had only just stolen the jewelry box from the residence of a wizarding family with a somewhat lengthy history.
The family was not even a pure-blood family, so it could be imagined that their family’s accumulated wealth and heritage were not nearly as deep as he had assumed.
After ransacking the place completely, the brothers had only found some rather mediocre things.
This jewelry box was the only magical artifact they had not yet gotten rid of.
Ternas put the jewelry box aside, put away his wand, and walked out of the room.
“Leo, have we received anything interesting at the shop recently?” Once outside, Ternas asked about the shop’s situation.
Leo was the person in charge of this shop.
He was a distant relative of the Longbottom family.
His father was a Muggle, while his mother carried Longbottom family blood.
He had also become a wizard, and after graduating, the Longbottom family had assigned him to work here.
Perhaps in the past, this shop’s business had not been valued by the Longbottom family.
As a result, Leo’s position within the Longbottom family had been relatively insignificant.
But ever since the unexpected development of Ternas had occurred, the importance of this shop had become apparent.
After all, Ternas would eventually become the next head of the Longbottom family.
Naturally, the Longbottom family, as an entire interest group, would place greater emphasis on the things Ternas cared about.
This also transformed Leo, who had previously been overlooked, into an important figure within the family.
He knew very well who had brought all of this to him, so he worked even harder here.
At the same time, he had also made a great effort to understand Ternas’s various interests.
As a result, he knew exactly what Ternas needed.
Leo respectfully bowed slightly before speaking.
“Young Master Ternas, I’ve already sorted through all the items with magical fluctuations that we’ve received recently.
They’re in Warehouse One at the back.
There aren’t many of them, though, only thirty-two items.
Three of them appear to be Dark Magic artifacts.
Since they were already damaged, I took them in as well.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS TheAetherVault Enjoying the story?
