As Canberra’s words fell, the Goblin teller behind the counter trembled violently.
“Of course, honored Little Wizard…
adult.” He carefully reached out to pick up the large pearl, but unfortunately, he overestimated his strength.
He pulled upwards for a long time, but the large pearl remained motionless.
Canberra looked at him with a difficult expression; so Goblins…
they’re not good-looking, and they’re weak, huh?
So where are their talent points?
Canberra thought this, and then asked.
She very amiably extended a tentacle, coiled around the large pearl, and helped the Goblin teller place it on the nearby weighing scale.
Completely oblivious to the scale emitting a metallic “whine,” directly breaking in half under the unbearable weight.
“What are you Goblins good at?” Feeling that she had already helped the other party and could communicate well with him, Canberra looked at the Goblin teller and asked curiously.
Under her gaze, the Goblin teller was so frightened he almost choked.
This adult must be anxious, anxious because he couldn’t pick up that large pearl.
That’s why she used that pearl to break the scale—this was a warning to him!
In his extreme panic, he even forgot that he could use magic to help himself pick up the pearl.
He had already been warned.
The Goblin teller’s heart pounded like a drum, thumping incessantly.
With a mournful face, he answered Canberra’s question at lightning speed, afraid of making her wait any longer.
“We Goblins are good at financial management, and we also know a little bit of magic.
If the adult gives us money…” “We guarantee that when the adult deposits five Galleons, next year it will become fifty, ah, no, one hundred Galleons!” Listening to the Goblin teller’s words, Professor McGonagall and Headmaster Dumbledore simultaneously looked at him.
Good heavens, since when did Gringotts offer money-making services?
Didn’t Wizards usually open vaults and deposit money with them, and still have to pay vault rental fees every year?
Goblins, creatures inherently fond of money, would actually double the money for Wizards?
The Goblin teller finished speaking in a fawning tone, then looked at Canberra with trepidation.
If he knew what Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall were thinking, he would probably speak in an even more distraught tone.
Under the test of life and death, what is money?
No matter how much Goblins love money by nature, they need to be alive to love it!
Now, let alone collecting vault rental fees, as long as this one is happy and doesn’t chew them up like snacks…
Gringotts would give her money!
Canberra raised a hand to scratch her cheek, “You Gringotts…
are quite good?” “Alright, convert that pearl into money for me.
I want to see how much it’s worth.” “Alright, alright.” The Goblin teller wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
This hurdle was finally passed.
Their Gringotts wouldn’t all become snacks.
The other Goblin staff in Gringotts collectively cast approving glances at him.
Well done!
He saved the lives of all Goblins.
The threat to life temporarily removed, the Goblin teller’s rationality returned.
He lightly tapped his finger, and the weighing scale was instantly repaired.
The large pearl Canberra had brought over was quickly weighed.
The Goblin teller unhesitatingly calculated the large pearl’s value at the maximum, his face full of fawning smiles as he spoke to Canberra.
“For this pearl, Gringotts offers two hundred thousand Galleons.
I wonder if that’s acceptable?” “If not, we can still discuss it, we can still discuss it.” Fearing Canberra would find it too little, the Goblin teller hastily added another sentence.
“Two hundred thousand Galleons…” Canberra lowered her eyes, looking at the ground.
The Goblin teller watched this scene, and cold sweat once again streamed down his head, fearing this was a sign of her dissatisfaction.
However, he didn’t realize that Canberra simply didn’t know the value of Galleons and was thinking about how long this money would last her.
Would it be enough to buy all the items required by Hogwarts?
If not, how many more large pearls would she need to acquire?
Headmaster Dumbledore, understanding Canberra’s situation, vaguely guessed that she didn’t know how much two hundred thousand Galleons was.
So he bent down and quietly explained to her.
“Two hundred thousand Galleons is absolutely enough for Miss Canberra’s expenses for seven years at Hogwarts, with a lot left over.” “Furthermore, Gringotts’ price is very fair.” Hearing Headmaster Dumbledore say this, Canberra immediately agreed.
“Alright, two hundred thousand Galleons it is.” Seeing Canberra agree, the Goblin teller immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Canberra blinked, calculating, “Since two hundred thousand Galleons should last seven years, give me twenty-five thousand Galleons first, and save the rest.” “Alright, no problem.” The Goblin teller immediately nodded, then turned and instructed the other Goblins to quickly prepare the Galleons.
At once, all the idle Goblins in Gringotts were mobilized, preparing two hundred thousand Galleons at the fastest speed, striving to send off the great Buddha that was Canberra as soon as possible.
With Gringotts operating at full speed, two hundred thousand Galleons were prepared in less than five minutes.
A dozen Goblins used magic to push carts, bringing them to the hall for Canberra to inspect.
“Please inspect, adult, two hundred thousand Galleons.” Canberra looked at the pile of golden Galleons and waved her tentacles.
So many…
inspect?
Should she count them one by one?
“Alright, no need to inspect.
Just give me twenty-five thousand, and save the rest.” Upon receiving the command, the Goblins immediately sprang into action, taking out a small bag enchanted with an Undetectable Extension Charm, filling it with twenty-five thousand Galleons, and respectfully handing it to Canberra.
Canberra took the bag and, mimicking human custom, politely said, “Thank you.” The Goblins shivered at her words.
It was like…
bread suddenly hearing the person eating it say thank you, unbelievably bizarre.
Holding the money bag, Canberra didn’t even glance at the remaining Galleons that Gringotts Goblins were pushing towards the underground vault.
She walked straight to Hermione and gently rubbed Hermione’s head with her free left hand.
“Let’s go, Little Cub, let’s go shopping.
My treat!” Canberra spoke with grand enthusiasm.
The four adults, who had just been shocked by the Goblins’ attitude towards her, immediately became exasperated.
This truly…
was just a child.
“No, Canberra,” Mrs.
Granger bent down and smiled at her, “While you and Hermione are good friends, the things Hermione needs to buy shouldn’t be paid for by you.
That’s our responsibility as parents.” “However, you can treat each other to an ice cream.
I saw an ice cream shop on the way here.” Headmaster Dumbledore also chimed in cheerfully, “The ice cream in the Wizarding World is indeed a bit different from the Muggle World, very much worth trying.” He had originally thought of entrusting Canberra to Minerva, since she was also here, so he could go to the Ministry of Magic to deal with the pile of things Fudge had asked him about.
But now, seeing the commotion Canberra caused in Gringotts…
he changed his mind.
Fudge should learn to handle those Ministry of Magic matters himself.
He really wanted to confirm in advance just how special this particular Little Wizard, admitted to Hogwarts, truly was.
“Uh, alright then.” Canberra, having no parents, had no understanding of what Mrs.
Granger meant by parental responsibility.
However, thinking this was a human custom, she was willing to respect it.
So she nodded to Mrs.
Granger, giving up the idea of paying for her friend Little Cub.
“Canberra, you’re amazing!
Those Goblins are all afraid of you.” Hermione finally came to her senses, hugging Canberra’s left arm, her eyes sparkling as she spoke.
To make the Goblins, who were usually indifferent to them, so afraid, she truly was a Kaiju!
“Eh?” Canberra paused, then turned to look at the Goblin teller beside her, “Are you afraid of me?” She hadn’t really paid close attention to the Goblins’ state just now.
She had thought these guys were born that way.
“No, no, how could we be?
Adult, you’re overthinking it.” The Goblin teller waved his hands repeatedly.
Canberra clicked her tongue, letting Hermione hold her left arm, and shook her head, “Strange.” She hadn’t done anything to these Goblins, so why were they afraid of her?
Moreover, these Goblins looked scrawny and unappetizing.
Who would be interested?
Although she was a Kaiju, she wasn’t indiscriminate or unpicky, alright?
Walking out of Gringotts with Hermione, a Kaiju and a girl began to stroll through Diagon Alley.
Then, the five humans, including Hermione, witnessed a Kaiju, curious about how many things she could buy in the human world.
Coming to the human world properly for the first time, Canberra found everything fascinating.
Pure gold Gobstones?
Buy!
Moving figurines?
Buy!
A scale for Potion Class?
Can it be pure gold?
Headmaster Dumbledore said no problem?
Buy!
Finally, after Canberra had coiled up dozens of items with her tentacles, Hermione was the first to give in.
“Canberra, calm down, calm down, don’t make impulsive purchases.” Canberra retracted her hand, which had been pointing at a flying broom, almost letting the words “I want to buy” escape her lips again.
“You are indeed very rich, but you can’t just squander it.” Hermione looked at Canberra, exasperated.
At this moment, she seemed more like a child than Hermione herself.
“Hmm…
alright then.” Canberra nodded, giving up her plan to continue buying flying brooms.
The novelty of her first visit to the human world, coupled with how “easy” it was for her to acquire money, Meant she had no concept of money at all.
If she wanted it, and she could buy it, then she bought it.
Completely without any thought of rational consumption.
Seeing Canberra finally stop, Professor McGonagall, Headmaster Dumbledore, and Mr.
and Mrs.
Granger all breathed a sigh of relief.
Walking along like this, they were truly attracting too much attention.
Canberra wasn’t just buying things; she was practically sweeping them up, though she did pay for them.
Professor McGonagall subtly looked back.
In the darkness, a Wizard’s body suddenly stiffened, then, after casting two unwilling glances at Canberra, turned and left.
Canberra looked like a little girl, so what if tentacles extended from beneath her skirt?” Those Dark Wizards didn’t care about these things at all; she was just a slightly special Little Wizard.
A Little Wizard with a lot of money was the perfect prey, wasn’t she?
If Professor McGonagall and Headmaster Dumbledore hadn’t been with her, those Dark Wizards would have already made their move.
Just lure them out of Diagon Alley to Knockturn Alley…
“Albus, those people…” Professor McGonagall turned, looking at Dumbledore with an ill-tempered expression.
Dark Wizards plotting against a Little Wizard right in front of her had clearly angered the Lioness.
Headmaster Dumbledore nodded, his expression normal, “I will warn them.
Little Wizards will not be their targets.” Professor McGonagall reluctantly nodded, and her hand, which had been in her robe pocket, was withdrawn.
They had already taken Hermione and Canberra to buy supplies for Potion Class, Herbology Class, and Astronomy Class.
What remained were books, Wizard robes, and wands.
“Professor McGonagall, can I buy the books myself last?
I want to see if there are any extra books that interest me.” Hearing Professor McGonagall say she could help buy books while Hermione bought her wand to save time, Hermione hesitated and tentatively asked.
Professor McGonagall smiled with satisfaction, “Of course, Miss Granger.
I’m glad you enjoy reading.
Let’s go buy wands first.” “Then, after we’ve bought your Wizard robes, you can spend the rest of your time in the bookstore.
The wand shop is just ahead.” Professor McGonagall said, pointing to Ollivander’s wand shop ahead.
Walking to the entrance of Ollivander’s wand shop, Canberra lightly wrinkled her nose.
There were many animal scents inside…
a chaotic mix.
Without saying anything more, she followed Hermione and the four adults into Ollivander’s wand shop.
The moment she entered the shop, all the wands began to tremble uncontrollably, a primal fear that persisted even though they had been made into wands.
“Merlin…” Professor McGonagall looked at the wands wildly shaking in front of her, then lowered her gaze to Canberra.
She knew, without a doubt, who was causing this.
Headmaster Dumbledore’s blue eyes drooped slightly, watching Canberra’s back for a long time, unmoving.
Mysterious bloodline, powerful magic…
yet she possessed an innocent, childlike heart.
The other people present and Canberra herself were completely out of the loop; they thought the wands just naturally shook like that.
“Welcome, two Little Wizards.” An old voice came.
Canberra leisurely looked at the old human who spoke; she had smelled him long ago.
As for Hermione, she was indeed a little startled.
Canberra thoughtfully extended a small hand and stroked Hermione’s back to comfort her.
“Ah, Professor McGonagall, Headmaster Dumbledore, you’re already starting to bring in new students.” Ollivander said with a sigh, then his gaze lingered on Canberra for a moment before turning to Hermione.
“Then, you try a wand first.
Remember, the wand chooses the Wizard.” Ollivander smiled mysteriously, and after a series of measurements, handed Hermione the first wand.
After Hermione gripped it, she felt a bit silly.
She gave a slight wave, and the lamp above her head exploded with a “bang.” “Oh dear!
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, I’ll pay for it.” Seeing that she had damaged something here, Hermione quickly apologized to Ollivander.
“It’s alright, it’s alright, Miss Granger,” Ollivander said, waving his hand dismissively with a smile, “That’s quite normal, they’ll go back to how they were.” “Try this one.” Hermione swallowed, took the second wand, and with a gentle wave, a cabinet toppled over.
Leaning back slightly, Hermione was now somewhat amazed by her own destructive power.
Canberra stood by, clearly seeing how Hermione’s magic entered the wand, and then how it was repelled by the various animal parts inside the wand.
Squeezing her magic out, the pinkish-white tentacles on the ground wiggled slightly.
Canberra was a bit displeased.
What did these animals mean?
Bullying Little Cub?
