Arms Dealers From Hogwarts

  Chapter 199 Knowledge is wealth

   "You wait, I'll dig it out for you." Hagrid said, carrying a hoe.

   "No, I'll be fine." Jemini sighed, quickly made two seals, and patted the ground.

There was a tremor in the ground under my feet, and after a rumbling sound, the mound in front of me was pushed aside, revealing a large number of fire crab carcasses, about a hundred in number. The smallest fire crabs have the size of a crucible with embedded shells. Full of gems of all colors.

"More than--"

Jemini opened the writing wheel, his gaze swept over the gems, and then he called Dobby: "Put these things away, clean them up, and send all the shells to the Hogsmeade House. go with."

   "Understand, Dobby will do it well, Master Fox!" Dobby said proudly.

   "Don't hurt the shell. This is for protecting animals. Generally, you can't get it." Jemini reminded him and turned and left.

   "I don't understand, Jemini." Hagrid was a little puzzled. "Although the shell of the fire crab is not cheap, it doesn't seem to be particularly expensive."

  Hagrid is right. The gems produced on the shells of fire crabs are not as valuable as the gems born in natural veins. The fairies of Gringotts do not approve of this, and they have a special method to verify it.

  While Gringotts does not recognize it, it is naturally not recognized by the wizarding world.

"First of all, you have to know that fire crabs are produced in Fiji, a tropical island country in the southern Pacific Ocean in eastern Australia. It is also a member of the Commonwealth. Although it has separated from the Commonwealth in the past two years, the relationship with the United Kingdom has always been ambiguous. This is also the reason why you can get fire crabs. In fact, fire crabs are difficult to get in other places. Special permits are required."

  Jemini explained: “The second is the definition of gemstones. After being polished and polished, the stones or minerals that can meet the requirements of jewelry, and the precious ores that do not change under the action of the atmosphere and chemicals.”

  "The shell of the fire crab would be used as a cauldron by those unscrupulous wizards in the past. The magic fire and potion cannot be affected, and naturally it will not be affected by the atmosphere and chemicals."

   "So, in their own sense, these gems completely meet the definition of gems, and the fairies only believe that these gems made by magic are not valuable based on the magic residues above."

  Jemini smiled: "But for Muggles, these things are gems, natural gems."

   "Are gems still natural?" Hagrid looked blank.

   "Of course, gems and diamonds can be artificially synthesized, and Muggle technology can do this."

Jemini explained: "However, the artificial gemstones are of very good quality. There will be no mixed colors or flaws like natural gemstones, but they are not as valuable as natural gemstones. The gemstones on the fire crab shell are completely It fits the characteristics of those natural gems I have seen."

   "In other words, if the gems on these shells were sold to the Muggle society, it would be a considerable wealth."

  Hagrid had a shocked face: "You know so much!"

   "Of course, knowledge is wealth. The more you know, the more ways you can make money." Jemini smiled.

  Since he came to the magic world, he has been absorbing the knowledge of the magic world like a sponge absorbing water. Between Muggle society and the magic world, there are too many ways to make money.

  The reason why most wizards are poor is because they cannot see this.

Although Muggle-born wizards have a certain understanding of Muggle society, they have stayed in the magic school during the important growth period from the age of eleven to adulthood, which leads to their limited understanding of Muggle society’s science and technology. , The knowledge they possess is not enough to support them repeatedly jumping across the magical world and Muggle society for profit.

  Even if a handful of smart guys think of it, they may not be able to make money with this. Some will be noticed by forces such as Gringotts and the Ministry of Magic, and then sent to Azkaban under the pretext of secrecy.

  It can only be said that there are too few guys like Jemini who can make money and no one dares to provoke them.

  At noon, when Jemini returned to school, news of the new teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts was spreading everywhere. I heard that this guy had a good deal of black spells.

  Jemini's complexion suddenly turned weird. Will Little Batty replace Mad-Eye Moody like the original?

  Thinking about it, Jemini found Harry at the long table in Gryffindor.

  "Are you free, Harry? I need you to do me a little favor." Jemini said gently.

   "Twenty gallons." Harry's eyes were very calm.

  Jemini: "???"

  Boy, your path is narrow!

   Opposite Harry, Hermione chuckled, then leaned back and laughed together: "Is this a retribution?"

   "Well, in that case..." Jemini sighed, "I can only tell Professor Snape the secret of your life map."

"Don't don't-I'm inflated!" Harry sneered and grabbed Gemini's arm, then he took a piece of parchment from his arms and handed it concealedly: How long will you use it?"

   "Now, just take a look." Jemini said softly, and the short sword clicked on the map: "I solemnly swear that I have bad intentions."

  Ink lines appeared on the map one by one, and soon the entire sheet of paper was covered. Jemini found the Office of the Defense Against the Dark Arts and saw the names of the people in the office.

  Alastor Moody.

  Batti Crouch.

  Two names, Moody’s name didn’t move, but Barty Crouch’s name occasionally moved.

  Jemini opened his eyes and glanced over, and found that he was eating in the office, sitting at the location marked on the map.

  It’s really him...

  During the Quidditch World Cup before, Jemini saw Barty and Shining stunned with his white eyes, but because there were so many people, Jemini didn’t mention it, otherwise Batty would definitely be arrested.

But Old Batty looked around in the woods and found Batty in a coma, but he was afraid of Jemini’s ability to roll his eyes. He didn't show anything, but secretly cast the Imperius Curse to make Batty leave first. Got there.

  Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the crowd, he was restrained by Jemini and was given Veritaserum. Little Batty took advantage of this effort to break free from the Imperius Curse and ran away.

  As for the fact that he would find Voldemort so quickly, Jemini was not surprising.

  The Death Eaters have the Dark Mark on their arms. When Barty presses the mark, Voldemort will perceive the position. After all, no one dares to play with this thing casually.

   What surprised Jemini is that this time and experience are different, but they still chose Mad Eye Moody as the target, which is very different from the butterfly effect of the previous two years.

  But this is not unreasonable. Voldemort wanted to make a fuss about this game. Even if Voldemort didn't do anything, Jemini would let Pettigrew Peter come up with this strategy.

  If you want to do things in the game, the identity is naturally the more convenient the better. As the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher and Dumbledore’s old friend, this identity is obviously more suitable than other identities.

  It’s a pity, Jemini still thinks they can pick Victor Krom to start.

  After all, there is one more creature like a potential rival, and Jemini is not too dead at all.

  　Today is the second more 嘤嘤嗝~
