Chapter 51
On Christmas Day 1991 something special happened - the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The ruble plummeted into worthless paper overnight.
Although Jemini knew this was going to happen, he did nothing in the end.
It's not that I don't want to do it, but that I can't do anything.
Although he really wanted to play such a thing as Currency Situation made a lot of money after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, but after a detailed understanding of the financial situation in the magic world, he wisely gave up this idea.
Gringotts is a wizarding world bank established by goblins, but it does not mean that there are only goblin members in Gringotts. It is impossible for the ministries of magic of various countries to hand over such sensitive issues as the human economy to greedy goblins. In fact, a large part of Lingots is composed of wizards, and the positions held by these wizards in Gringotts are not very low.
And only if the course of Arithmetic and Divination meets the completion standard, can one be qualified to work at Gringotts, but the qualification alone is not enough. To guarantee being recruited by Gringotts, one must generally achieve an O test score.
In other words, there is a large group of wizards with divination ability in this Wizard World Bank.
Jemini would not be so naive as to think that only Sybill Trelawney in the entire wizarding world was capable of divination and prophecy.
Divination is different from prophecy. Divination is to spy on the future, while prophecy is to determine the future. Compared with the rare ability of prophecy, divination is easier for most people to master.
Moreover, the divination of wizards has magical powers. When a wizard calms down and uses arithmetic divination, he can faintly detect a corner of the future. There are a large number of such wizards in Gringotts...
In fact, the disintegration of the Soviet Union has already occurred in the Muggle society, and it is not as abrupt as it felt in the previous life. After the Eastern European incidents in the past two years, Ukraine and other countries have been seeking to break away from the Soviet Union. Although this day came a little bit suddenly, but It is not very surprising, and Gringotts, which pays close attention to the economic markets of Muggle wizards in various countries in real time, is even less likely to be unprepared.
So, if Jemini wants to take out a large loan from Gringotts in rubles and pay it back when the Soviet Union collapses and the ruble depreciates...
Even if he is not sent to Azkaban, he will probably be on the Gringotts blacklist...
However, after the Muggle currency is converted into gold, it is still feasible to exchange it into Galleons, but the goblins' purchase price for gold is a bit dark.
The matter of the disintegration of the Soviet Union has gone viral, even in the magic world, it has caused quite a stir. Of course, it has no impact on Britain.
Flipping through the Daily Prophet, which chronicled the collapse of the Soviet Union, Jemini ate the last piece of foie gras on his plate.
Just when he was flipping through the newspaper, he ate six Jack potatoes, six turkey legs, two roasted pigeons, two steaks of Wellington and some foie gras, and he swept away the food on the two plates.
"His appetite is worthy of his strength." Ron muttered softly at the long Gryffindor table, "Trolls can't eat these, can they? So it's normal for him to be able to defeat trolls."
"We'll die if he hears it." Harry reminded in a low voice, "You shouldn't be more resistant to beating than a troll, right?"
"Maybe we can ask him to teach us." Ron thought for a while and suggested, "Fred and George say he's a good talker."
Harry was a little puzzled when he heard the words: "Teach us, what?"
"I guess he must know martial arts magic!" Ron said solemnly. Seeing Harry's puzzled look, he explained: "Martial arts magic is the most suitable magic for fighting. It is a fighting method that uses fighting and magic at the same time. That's what Durmstrang teaches."
"Durmstrang?"
"One of the three major magic schools in Europe, it only accepts pure-blood wizards, and it is said that it teaches black magic, so it has a bad reputation." Ron explained briefly: "Even if he doesn't know martial arts and magic, his strength is not bad. , as long as we can learn a little bit, we can beat Malfoy all over the place."
"Um..." Harry reminded, "He should have a better relationship with Malfoy than with us."
"That's not necessarily true." Ron said: "At least he's not as pure-blooded as Malfoy. Everyone knows that he has a good relationship with Hermione."
Harry thought about it, and felt that Ron was right.
But he was still a little uncomfortable, after all, he had just lost to Jemini in the Quidditch match a while ago.
And speaking from the bottom of his heart, Harry felt a little bit sour and jealous of Jemini, who was super handsome and could punch even better.
Then he suddenly felt sick at his own jealousy.
"Would Voldemort be able to fight trolls in first year?" Harry asked suddenly.
Ron was startled when he heard the name, looked around and whispered: "It should not be possible, all powerful wizards emerge after graduation, even Dumbledore is like this, so I If you want to learn magic from him, at least he must be more reliable than Quirrell, look at the back of his head, at least he doesn't have a face."
"You're right, Ron." Harry nodded: "Maybe we should really learn this from him. Now that Snape is substituting Defense Against the Dark Arts, we don't learn anything at all. When this year is over, we This year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class is basically blank."
He still feels that Snape is a bad ass...
"So you all want to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts with me?"
A few minutes later, Jemini looked at Harry and the two who came to him in some confusion.
"And martial magic," Ron added.
"Martial arts magic? What's that?"
Ron: "..."
"But I probably understand what you mean. It's just that I feel weak and can't learn any useful defensive skills, so I want to learn from me?" Jemini smiled, holding his chin.
"That's what it means..." Harry opened his mouth in embarrassment: "Is it okay?"
"Of course, why not? We are all classmates." Jamie nodded as a matter of course: "So what do you want to learn?"
"A way to defeat the troll!" Harry's face brightened.
"There's another way to beat the three-headed dog!" Ron added.
"I know a cure for paranoia."
"Why? Didn't you just do it?" Harry asked unwillingly.
With a click, Jemini pulled out a small iron bump from his arms. After Harry saw what Jemini was holding, he hurriedly pulled Ron back two steps.
"If you don't want to teach, forget it, don't threaten me with death." Harry stared at Jemini with his eyes wide open.
"Ha..." Jemini smiled helplessly: "I am the three-headed dog that I killed with this thing."
Ron's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Cool! Is this some kind of magic device?"
"Muggle weapons are very powerful." Jamie asked suddenly, "Do you have any regrets?"
"Uh? Uh... yes, there are quite a few, such as when the Chadley Cannons will be able to achieve another glory..." Ron nodded.
"With this, you won't have regrets anymore, it can solve your regrets." Jemini spread his hands.
"cool!"
"There will be no breathing anymore." Harry said abruptly, "It can also kill your life."
Ron: "..."
Jamie shook his head: "It still depends on how to use it."
Harry was a little startled: "Is there any other use for this thing?"
"Of course." Jemini nodded: "For example, you can use it for the Chudley Cannons."
Harry: "..."
Ron: "..."
Good guy, it's a pity that I don't use your stuff, but if I use your stuff, it will become history...
