I Have a Big Problem with My Hogwarts

Chapter 229 226. The Story of Hogsmeade

"The village of Hogsmeade was established a thousand years ago, about the same time as the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry next door. The purpose of the establishment was to escape the persecution of Muggles, by the medieval wizard Hanji of Woodcroft. Sri Lanka built this village."

Lynn came to hear the story, not to see the gang fight to tell him the story.

He paid an additional fee to the owner of the Hog's Head bar, who appeared to be a filthy, mutton-smelling barman who was actually Dumbledore's younger brother, Aberforth Dumbledore fifty Galleons. The bar was packed, and he was asked to maintain order at the scene. The storytellers had to line up to come one by one, and they would pay him fifty Galleons after the end.

Aberforth readily agreed that even when his business was at its best, his tavern could not earn a single gold Galleon a day, and now that it is reserved for 100 Galleons, even if Lynn spends 100 days, he will not lose. .

Soon after someone maintained the order at the scene, a long queue formed in the Pig's Head Bar, and at the end of the queue, wizards who heard the wind kept joining in.

Lynn was holding a glass of butter beer, and he was listening to the first wizard who came to the door first to tell him the story of Hogsmeade.

It's just that this wizard doesn't seem to be a local. He hummed dryly for a long time, but just talked about the history of Hogsmeade's town, which basically anyone who is a British wizard knows about.

The wizards lining up behind couldn't help but let out a burst of laughter, which made the wizard's face turn red, but the gold Galleon that Lynn threw to him before was tightly held in his hand, obviously it was impossible to hold the money again. Back to Lynn.

Of course, Lynn also knew the history of Hogsmeade's town building. Their second-year magic history taught this, but Lynn didn't want to go back on it. Instead, he took out a silver cigar from his pocket.

The currency exchange in the magic world is very inhumane, 1 Galleon = 17 West Ke = 493 Nat.

Jin Jialong's purchasing power is quite high. After conversion, although a Xike is not a big money, it is not a small money that can be ignored.

He threw the Siko in front of the wizard opposite.

"I said that you are very lucky today, even if you tell a well-known story, I will give you an extra xike, which is the currency with the smallest face value on me, okay? , you can move out of the way now, next."

The wizard left happily with the money. Even if he had come to Hogsmeade to travel, it was a pleasant surprise that he could make a fortune unexpectedly, and he never thought of getting more.

The next person sitting in front of Lynn looked familiar to him. It was Ambrosio Froome, the owner of the Honey Duke Candy Store.

Today is not Hogsmeade Week, the candy store is not very busy, his wife is enough to watch alone, Froome came here to drink alone, and he took the second place in the team by taking advantage of the crowd. s position.

Unlike the previous wizard, Ambrosio Froome is not only the owner of the candy store, he is also a resident villager in Hogsmeade. His ancestors have lived here for three generations. He knows this village well. Much more than most people know.

"Is the reserve price of each story one siko?" After sitting down opposite Lynn, he did not start immediately, but wisely asked the price first.

Lynn took a sip of butter beer and gave it to him leisurely shaking his legs, including the others who were still lining up.

"Of course not, I said that the person just now was lucky, and I found him first, so even if he told a story that was worthless to me, he could still get one gallon and one sico, And then, if you take me as a jerk and talk nonsense, of course, you won't get a penny. I will judge the value of the story. If the reserve price is the price, I only need one piece of Xike, so the low price will be set at One Galleon is fine, the maximum is one thousand Galleons, the rules are like this.”

Immediately, the wizards who were lining up looked at Lynn with incomparably hot eyes.

The time of most wizards is very worthless. Their lifespans are generally longer than that of normal people. The usual entertainment activities are very scarce. It doesn't take much effort to tell a few stories even if they have to queue up, but the reports they get are extremely huge. of.

However, there were also discordant voices in the team.

"Why is the pricing power on you? What if the story we told was worth a thousand Galleons and you said it was worth nothing?"

Lynn turned his head and glanced at the wizard who spoke, and said lightly.

"Aren't you satisfied? Then you can get out now. I'm in a good mood to give everyone a chance to make extra money, but there are always people who want to slaughter me like a pig. If anyone has any objection to the rules I put forward, they can leave now. , I definitely won't stop it."

The face of the wizard who spoke suddenly froze. He turned his head and looked around. The wizards in line were all looking at him with playful eyes, and none of them wanted to go along with his proposal.

The situation made him look like a clown.

"Don't forget this is Hogsmeade, you wait for me!"

The wizard glared at Lynn and said harsh words, then turned around and left in a sullen manner.

Lynn didn't care at all, he nodded at Froome, who was sitting across from him.

"You can start."

"There was a dilapidated shack on the outskirts of Hogsmeade. Decades ago, before You-Know-Who was out of power, there was a period of time where strange noises were heard in the middle of the night, and people said that there were ghosts occupying it. The house was broken, but I could hear it clearly for several nights at the time, and those sounds were all wolf howls." Froome looked serious, and the moment he came up, he broke the news.

"And every time the wolf howls sounded on a full moon night, I suspected at the time that it wasn't a ghost occupying that room, but a werewolf!"

Of course Lynn knew what he was talking about, and that werewolf was Remus Lupin, who was once Harry's father's best friend and one of Snape's nemesis.

It was Dumbledore who arranged Lupin's transformation in the Shrieking Shack, and I didn't expect that Hogsmeade would actually understand someone.

Lynn looked at the owner of the candy store in front of him and asked curiously.

"Since you guessed it at the time, why didn't you tell everyone?"

Froome shook his head: "Who knows who that werewolf is, what if I leak the news and let him know to get revenge on me?"

Lynn nodded. Although he already knew about this from the original book, what Froome said was obviously dry stuff. Lynn directly patted a Galleon in front of him.

"Anything else? What else is there in Hogsmeade?"

Froome took the Galleon and licked his lips excitedly: "Can one person tell many stories?"

Lynn spread his hands: "Of course, if you have the ability to tell all the legends about Hogsmeade, then the money is all yours."

The wizards who were queuing in the back were immediately unhappy. Lynn was the financial master. They didn't dare to get angry with Lynn, but they dared to threaten Froome.

"Just take it when you see it, Froome, don't forget you have a shop on this street."

"Yes, we are all waiting here, everyone who sees it has a share."

Froome is not afraid of them at all. He turned his head and sneered at the group of wizards who threatened him: "You dare to come to my shop to make trouble, you can come and try."

Lynn doesn't participate in the filth between them. He just pays for the story, and he doesn't care who tells him the story.

Making money here in Lynn is much easier than selling candy in a candy store. If you don't make money, the whole family is stupid, and Froome doesn't think one of their family is stupid.

"In the seventeenth century, there was a goblin rebellion near Hogsmeade, they took the whole village and established a temporary headquarters at the place where we are now sitting in the pub, and it is said that they imprisoned a lot of them. The captured wizards and established a prisoner of war camp in Hogsmeade, where many captured wizards died and became ghosts, and this prisoner of war camp legend is located somewhere underground in Hogsmeade ."

The Pig's Head Bar was once known to Lynn about the goblin's wartime command, but it was indeed the first time he heard about the goblin's prisoner of war camp.

Lynn didn't hide his interest in this. He asked, "Then how did you know about this?"

Froome didn't take Lynn as a fool. He had opened a candy store in Hogsmeade for so long and had seen all kinds of people, and Lynn gave him the feeling that he was definitely not a fool who only thoughtlessly throwing money away.

He didn't lie about the prisoner of war camp. He watched Lynn seriously and explained the source of what he knew.

"If you ask the goblins about this, or the Ministry of Magic, no one of them will admit it. After all, the goblins have been defeated for so long, and the wizards and them have re-established mutual trust between them. A relationship that can't be provoked by anything. The reason I know this is because one of the wizards who died in the POW camp was an ancestor of my family, and the reason my family moved to Hogsmeade three generations ago was to find The bones of this ancestor, but until now I have not found out where this place is."

Lynn tapped the greasy tabletop with his fingertips as he listened to Froome's remarks.

Although the place he mentioned was completely unrelated to the treasure trove, Lynn still found this information very useful.

A treasure trove is not necessarily a place where treasure is hidden. Maybe this place was a treasure trove before and then was used for other purposes?

So as long as it seems like a place to hide things in Hogsmeade, Lynn will pay special attention.

"It's an interesting story you told. Are you Mr. Froome?"

Froome looked at Lynn expectantly: "Yes, it's me, my home is the Honey Duke candy store in this town."

Lynn threw a handful of coins on the table without frowning.

"Ten gold Galleons, this is your reward for this story."
