Myriad Realms Store Owner of Harry Potter

Lane has been to several wizards' business districts before, in addition to Diagon Alley in England, there is also Saga Street in Iceland. But the Songjiang Collection of the Celestial Dynasty is very different from them.

First of all, it's big. Whether it's Diagon Alley or Saga Street, they're just a street or two with all kinds of shops around. The Songjiang Collection is not like this at all. It is more like an alternative imitation of the Chenghuangmiao business district outside. There is a beautiful pool in the middle, and there is a delicate Jiuqu Bridge on the top for easy communication. And surrounded by pools are all kinds of shops selling all kinds of things.

"Why does it feel so different from Diagon Alley?" Hermione said, looking at the Celestial Wizards on the street. The big difference here doesn't mean there are many people on the street or the oriental buildings on both sides of the street, but the whole The style of the street is more inclined to the world of ordinary people outside. Whether it's the paved pavement, the streetlights on the street, or the clothes on the wizards who come and go. Only the sign on the front of the store and the goods inside through the glass window can prove that they are indeed on a wizard's commercial street.

Maybe they spent more time standing at the intersection and looking around, a young man in a plaid suit came over and said in very fluent English: "Hello, do you need any help? I can provide you with a guide, Shopping guide and translation services. Only 20 silver coins a day.”

"How much if I don't need a translator?" Lane said in standard Mandarin. "Can I get a discount for one less service, I don't think we need translation services."

"You can speak Mandarin? That's great. The money can't be less, because it's uniform, but I can find the best store for you to make sure you're happy here," said the young man. arrive.

"Okay, deal." Ryan took out 20 siko and put it in the young man's hand, but the young man glanced at it and said that he couldn't accept the money. "Haven't you exchanged the money here? These foreign money can't be used here."

So their first travel destination was the Celestial Alchemist Bank. No matter where the buildings of financial institutions are always magnificent, Tian Dynasty Alchemy Bank is no exception. Under the guidance of the guide named Li Lei, they walked from the Jiuqu Bridge to the tallest building opposite the pond to exchange money.

Just as they walked over the Jiuqu Bridge, they saw several black shadows emerging from the water and approaching quickly. After the shadows approached the lake, white traces appeared on the lake behind them.

"This is?" Ryan asked, looking at the shadows that were almost as fast and black as torpedoes underwater. But he didn't think there would be any danger, because this was one of the largest wizarding markets in China, and he was not Conan. So the probability of just encountering danger is not high. Not to mention that the surrounding Celestial Wizards did not react violently.

"Oh, they." Li Lei glanced at the shadow and said. "They are the sharks of the East China Sea. There is a passage leading to the East China Sea in this pond. The sharks often bring some precious seafood and special products from the bottom of the sea to trade here. You are lucky today, these special products from the ocean are every time New items are often sold out in a very short time. I personally recommend that you go there after you withdraw your money, maybe you can find something you like."

"It's so beautiful! It's much prettier than those murlocs in the Black Lake." Just as Li Lei was introducing Ryan to Ryan, he heard Hermione exclaim in a low voice. Lane turned his eyes and found that the black shadows quickly emerged from the water. As soon as the upper body was exposed, the colorful fish tail turned into human feet. Under the leadership of a middle-aged female merman, the six of them carried a large bag and walked out along the stone steps submerged in the pool.

The appearance of these sharks is indeed much more beautiful than those of the murlocs in the Black Lake. They look like slightly taller humans, with beautiful appearance and tall stature. The only difference from humans is that the skin is more tender and fairer. At the same time, you can see that they have some five-colored scales on their joints and foreheads in short-sleeved shorts, and their ears are similar to fins. However, these racial characteristics did not reduce their appearance, but made them look more beautiful.

"Okay, we're here." Just after crossing the Jiuqu Bridge is a small square with a large flower bed in the middle, and bypassing the flower bed is the building of the Celestial Alchemist Bank. It was a five-story building that stood out among the surrounding low-slung shops. And beside the vermilion gate with golden nails, stood a furry figure.

"Hey, Ryan, look. They're pandas." Hermione shook Ryan's arms a little excitedly. Standing by the bank door as a welcome was a (only?) panda standing there in a beautiful tuxedo.

"Well, there's a difference, you can call them pandaren." Because Hermione spoke Mandarin, Li Lei explained in a low voice after hearing what Hermione said. "According to our name, they should be called Pixiu. They grew up with the earliest wizards of the Celestial Dynasty, and they are also regarded as the most staunch non-human allies of the wizards in the Celestial Dynasty. Pandaren are kind, loyal and friendly by nature, but there is one thing The thing to remember is that they love wealth very much. Although they won't use any evil means to get it, remember to watch your wallet when they sell you later, otherwise it's easy to carry a A lot of so-called financial investment products that are of little use come out."

"Well, this is a little different from what I imagined." When he entered the door, he thought of the black and white bear-faced Ryan who looked at the pandaren with a simple and honest smile at the door of the bank. "It's really a bear."

After entering the door is a tall wooden structure hall with an extremely gorgeous painted gold caisson on the roof. In addition to the beautiful appearance, Ryan also felt that the caisson was actually a powerful magic circle, and the bead spit out from the dragon's mouth in the middle of the caisson was the eye of the circle.

There are rows of wrought iron chairs in the hall. After the wizards enter the door, they will press a button on a brass machine next to them, and the machine will spit out a note marked with Arabic numerals. Afterwards they will wait at the chairs.

Except for the three sides of the hall outside the door, there are long counters with thick transparent glass. Every once in a while, a pandaren sat behind the counter, weighing gold on a tiny steel scale, or appraising gems. Others are there to receive a customer who comes to do business by name.

Ryan and the others lined up in front of the corresponding pandaren counter soon after receiving the number. Despite the pandaren's size, their voice was a baby voice with a milky voice, which sounded very cute.

But when it comes to gold coins, it's not so cute. After exchanging five hundred Galleons, the pandaren in front of Ryan recommended some kind of financial fund. He declined several times to escape from the ardent pandaren.

As he walked out of the bank door, Ryan began to look at the currency he had withdrawn. The currency of the wizards of the Celestial Dynasty is divided into four kinds: gold, silver, copper and bronze. The ratio between them is 1:10, which is much more user-friendly than the British wizard's currency exchange. Bronze coins have the lowest value, each equivalent to a dime of ordinary people's currency, while the highest value gold coins are equivalent to one hundred yuan.

In order to maintain this ratio, from gold coins to bronze coins, the size is getting bigger and bigger. The largest bronze coins are the size of a beer bottle cap and are made very thin. But the smallest gold coin is only a little bigger than a shirt button. However, no matter how big or small, these coins are very beautifully minted. There is a shallow square depression in the center of the currency, which should be a commemoration of the ancient round square hole copper coins. On the front, the two characters of Tongbao are written on both sides of the square hole in nine-fold seal script, while the symbols of the sun and the moon are erected on the back.

The most interesting thing is that the wizard currency can be exchanged for RMB in unlimited quantities, but the reverse is strictly limited. In the market outside, only magic-related goods must use wizard currency, and many daily necessities can even be paid directly in RMB. Maybe it's because the Chinese magic world is not as closed as the British magic world.

With a bag of money, Lane and the others started their shopping trip. The first stop was the East China Sea boutiques of those sharks. Ryan bought a lot of sharks in the store. On the one hand, this textile was really beautiful, and on the other hand, Ryan found that this textile was actually a kind of alchemy material. Can be used to craft clothing with magical effects.

After buying, Ryan asked the merman salesman if he could place an order for a long time, because he wanted to buy some ingredients for his own store. Unfortunately, the production of these things is random and cannot guarantee a fixed supply. So Ryan can only regretfully give up this idea.

"Ryan, we're here for a trip. Can you put your work aside for a while?" Hermione said unhappily after Ryan finished talking. "It's hard to find a time to rest—"

"Sorry, it's my fault." Ryan admitted that it was indeed inappropriate for him to do this now.

In the next time, they strolled around the whole Songjiang Collection, tasted all kinds of delicious special snacks, and bought a lot of souvenirs for their friends. At this time, you can see the importance of finding a good guide. With the help of Li Lei, they can buy the best things at the most suitable price. For example, some special magic spices, some wooden signs engraved with seal characters that have certain damage to evil creatures. And some handicrafts with local characteristics.

In the end, it took them 20 minutes to obtain permission to cast the spell locally.

In short, this day was a day full of harvest, and it also made a good start for Ryan and their celestial travel.
