Chapter 79: The Special Characteristics of Gold Galleon

"Good morning, Lockhart," said Morin and Kaecilius as they sat opposite Lockhart.

Lockhart poured tea into the cups in front of them. The two picked up the tea and took a sip. Morin said, "Lockhart, you should have received the message I sent you yesterday. We found the magic metal you want that has similar properties. Do you want to take a look now?"

Hearing what Morin said, Lockhart's face flashed with joy, and he nodded. He originally thought that he might have a chance to obtain relevant information about the magic metal that was a substitute for gold galleons only during his next time travel. He did not expect that Morin was so capable and could give him the news so quickly.

Seeing Lockhart's reaction, Morin waved his hand, and with a flash of light, four metal fragments floated in the air and slowly landed in front of Lockhart's desk. Lockhart studied the fragment of metal before him.

Morin introduced it slowly: "Lockhart, with the gold galleons you provided before, I found Master David, who specializes in alchemy. He said that it is made from a mixture of various magic metals. The method is very clever. It contains gold, mithril, fine gold, flaming iron, and some unknown magic metals. Because the sample contains a small volume, it cannot be explored for the time being. What I just took out are the four metals he mentioned."

Hearing Master Morin's introduction, Lockhart nodded slowly. He had exchanged some gold and fine gold before. Mithril and Flame Iron have also been seen in Kamar Taj's alchemy books. Although not cheap, the output is not low either. It can be said that if Gold Galleon is refined from these materials, then it can be refined in large quantities.

Suddenly, Lockhart heard Morin's tone change, and his tone became a little strange. "But Lockhart, Master David said that the other party's refining method is very special, and the entire golden galleon still has some strange magic power. It would be very difficult to imitate."

It seems that Master Morin also has some guesses about Lockhart's approach. Lockhart nodded slowly to express his understanding of what Master Morin meant. The strange magic power that Master David mentioned, if Lockhart guessed correctly, should be the magic power unique to goblins. It is equivalent to their anti-counterfeiting technology to prevent other wizards from refining gold galleons. It seems that these goblins have a lot of thoughts in this regard.

Immediately afterward, he heard Master Morin say: "Lockhart, Master David mentioned that if you have extra gold galleons, you can sell them to him directly. He did some research and found that the magic power of gold galleons is good. If he adds gold galleons when refining magic items, it can improve the success probability and quality of the refining. It's a bit like a catalyst, and the effect is very practical. It's considered a good magic metal."

Hearing this, Lockhart nodded silently. Gold galleons can be used as the universal currency of the wizarding world. Although it is refined by goblins, it itself has a certain value. Otherwise, it would not have been circulated for thousands of years.

After thinking about it, Lockhart reached out and took out 100 gold galleons from his space bag, divided them into two waves, floated in front of the two people's tables, and then said gently, "In that case, I would like to trouble you two. Can you help me test what other functions Gold Galleon has? For example, how much it can increase the probability of refining magic items? How much is the conductivity of magic power?"

Upon hearing Lockhart's request, the two of them nodded with faint smiles on their faces. Afterward, the two people put away the gold galleons in front of them.

Lockhart asked again: "Please help me collect mithril, fine gold, and flaming iron. I need some to do my own research. Specifically, if it can be paid with potion."

Immediately afterward, Lockhart took out another 50 gold galleons, placed them in front of Morin, and said, "Morin, please give these gold galleons to Master David. Didn't you say that the samples were rare? Now that he has these, please ask him to help us take another look to see what unknown magic metals there are. If it's not enough, I can continue to provide more."

Hearing Lockhart's request, Master Morin nodded. Then Lockhart gave some instructions, and Kaecilius next to him said directly, "Okay, let's see what we have gained during this time." When Lockhart heard this, a bright smile appeared on his face, as did Morin. The harvest Kaecilius mentioned was naturally the three people's potion business.

Lockhart is about to return to the world of Harry Potter recently, so naturally, he wants to reorganize his profits from selling potions so he can bring them back to the Harry Potter world and make some money to make up for the recent expenses. That is why he made an appointment with the two people in advance to have a chat.

Subsequently, Lockhart, Kaecilius, and Morin all came up with three lists. Everyone exchanged with each other, and the transaction records and profits were shown. Lockhart's list contains mostly shipments of potions. As for the lists of Kaecilius and Morin, these contain the quantities purchased by the purchasers and the prices paid. This is the settlement method Lockhart discussed with the two. As the saying goes, brothers settle scores. He didn't want to damage everyone's friendship because of a potion business.

The group represented by these two people may not be simple. Behind Morin are the ascetics, most of whom are sorcerers with superb skills, and they are basically big customers. As for Kaecilius, he had been responsible for training Sorcerer apprentices before. His network of contacts can be said to be very wide, covering the entire Kamar Taj. Although most of the people they come into contact with are ordinary sorcerers, overall, their spending power is not bad.

To ensure that this business can last for a long time, Lockhart specially emphasized that all details should be listed so that everyone can see them clearly. In this way, no one will be upset or have random thoughts. Of course, as a sorcerer and a wizard, magic contracts are indispensable. The magic contract and the long-term vision of the three people are enough to ensure efficient and high-quality development of this transaction in the early stage. As for the later stage, Lockhart believes that he has the strength to protect all his plans.
