Chapter 200: Wizard Bank?

After Bruno received the two gold galleons, he quickly took a look, and carefully observed the large number of frozen magic radiation disruptors not far away.

When looking at Tony, he paused slightly, then passed over and ignored him completely.

Then, he lowered his head and carefully studied the two gold galleons in his hand.

At this moment, Tony was surprised by the goblin's strange appearance and short stature.

As a result, the other party's ignoring eyes made him feel unhappy.

Seeing this strange alien-like creature studying two gold galleons, Tony poured another glass of wine into his glass.

While tasting, he looked at the other party's strange appearance with great interest.

Although he heard SHIELD's description, he was really surprised when he saw it for the first time in real life.

After a long time.

Bruno slowly raised his head, his eyes looked like Lockhart's full of surprise. He raised the gold Galleons in his left hand and asked quickly: "Master, who made this Gold Galleons?"

"Absolute master level. The magic has been precisely adjusted to be almost exactly the same as that of Gringotts Goblin."

Tony heard Bruno's surprise, raised his glass to Lockhart, shook the wine, gave a slight salute, took a small sip, and showed a smile that was modest on the surface, but actually proud.

After Lockhart saw it, he ignored it and shook the ring slightly, causing a transparent ripple to spread around, affecting what Tony and the surrounding surveillance cameras could observe.

These latter things are not suitable for Tony and others to know.

Then, Lockhart asked Bruno several questions one after another.

"Bruno, can this gold Galleon meet your requirements?"

"Based on your observation, are there any errors or omissions? Is there any way to make up for it?"

Regarding Master Lockhart's question, Bruno looked at the golden galleons in his hand and thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "Master, if I follow the requirements, it is barely qualified, and everything is done well, including the magical properties. However, they may not be able to detect one or two, but if there are more of them, the probability of being discovered will increase significantly."

Hearing this, Lockhart nodded slightly to express his understanding, then looked at Bruno and continued to wait for his answer.

After Bruno thought for a moment, he said: "Master, the problem with this gold Galleon actually comes from the magic. Although the magic on this golden galleon has been adjusted, it is basically the same as that of the Gringotts goblins."

"But there is a key step missing, which is also the most important anti-counterfeiting method for Gringotts Goblins, and that is the environment of the entire vault. The entire underground vault itself is a magical environment. Each batch of gold galleons will be imbued with magic when it is produced, so the gold galleons produced will have this kind of atmosphere that is difficult to imitate."

"If we want to make up for it. It's actually very simple. We just put the gold galleons in the vault for a period of time, and the final flaws will naturally be made up for."

"But this is very tricky. They will have special goblins responsible for patrolling every day, so it is difficult to sneak in. Not to mention putting in a large amount of Galleons. By accident, these Galleons were taken away by the Gringotts goblins. And if they discover it, the consequence will be major."

Hearing this, Lockhart was thoughtful and had a plan in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Bruno remind him: "Master, I actually thought of a plan before, which is to place a large amount of gold galleons in my vault for the final anti-counterfeiting method."

"But I gave up after understanding what the Goblins of Gringotts did because they would have special people to check the treasury every once in a while, and this path was also blocked."

Hearing this, Lockhart nodded again to express his understanding.

This problem can be solved.

Thoughts flashed, Lockhart asked again: "Bruno, do you have any other ideas?"

Then he continued to emphasize: "What I mean is that if the problem you just mentioned is solved, can it be completely hidden from the eyes of the Gringotts goblin?"

"Let them regard our Galleons as the Galleons they produce."

"Yes, Master, this is completely possible." Bruno said decisively: "Our Gold Galleons have the same properties as real Gold Galleons. The only difference lies in the fairies' anti-counterfeiting methods."

"After all, the Gold Galleon produced by Gringotts can be traded, but we can only treat it as an alchemy product. The Gringotts goblins don't recognize it at all."

In response, Lockhart nodded in understanding.

After all, the other party basically holds the monetary sovereignty of the wizarding world, in other words, it has the final right of interpretation.

All wizards are accustomed to storing their gold Galleons in Gringotts, so it naturally has its own interpretation of currency.

No matter how stupid the goblin is, he knows that he should use the gold galleons he produces to further strengthen his control over the currency.

Rather than loosening restrictions and allowing others the opportunity to touch Gringotts status.

Otherwise, Lockhart would directly use the wizard's magic to refine the gold Galleons, and then combine it with some technological means.

Lockhart was confident that he could knock out Gringotts directly.

Not to mention anything else, he directly opened a wizard bank himself and used the modern bank model.

You know, the goblins of Gringotts charge management fees, but modern banks not only charge no fees but also give interest.

Even if the goblins of Gringotts followed suit, Lockhart would use various methods to make them lose more money than they gain, and they would eventually have to give up.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of monetary interpretation, such a plan can only remain on paper. After all, no one recognizes it, and it is useless to open it.

But later on, he can do some planning.

With thoughts swirling in his mind, Lockhart quickly sorted out and eliminated the various thoughts in his mind, leaving the essence behind and perfecting his plan.

Then, after undoing the magic he had just cast on Tony and Jarvis, he asked with a smile: "By the way, Tony, I forgot to ask one thing, that is, what is the cost of synthesizing this gold galleons? Is it efficient?"

At this moment, Tony just thought that monitoring their discussed difficult problems in magic technology, and he seemed to understand.

But still write it down, maybe it will come in handy later.

Although the magic jammer failed this time, it was obviously effective.

In this case, just optimize it slowly later.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Lockhart's question. Tony made a rough calculation and said, "Lockhart, if you exclude the cost of previous research, the cost of this single gold galleons is about 100,000 dollars."

"As for efficiency, don't worry about that. My new algorithm doesn't take long. If everything is enough, producing 1,000 coins a day is not a problem."

Hearing this, Lockhart did a quick calculation in his mind, and a wry smile appeared on his lips.

If he really relied solely on dollars, he would only have about 10 million in funds on hand now. In other words, he could only create 100 coins at most.

In this case, it's such a loss.

100 gold galleons, all used to buy potions, and then sold to SHIELD for research, the value is much more than that.

"If it is refined on a large scale, how low can the cost be reduced?" Lockhart asked again.

"On a large scale, if you can provide enough magic metal and continue to provide a large amount of magic power, the cost can indeed be reduced." Tony thought for a while and replied.

"It's not impossible that it could drop by at least 50,000 to 60,000, or even more."

"The specifics need to be verified before we can get accurate figures."

Hearing this, Lockhart nodded slightly to express his understanding.

Then, after thinking for a while, he said: "In this way, I will ask Bruno to bring a batch of magic metal later. He will be responsible for adding magic power to the gold galleons, and at the same time give some suggestions from a magic point of view."

"Try to keep costs to a minimum."
