Chapter 5 HP005 Prices and Materials

Borgin Bock's gift is a Felicity Elixir!

Felicity Elixir, also known as the Lucky Potion, is a potion that can bring luck, and the effect is very powerful.However, the process of crafting Felicia is complex, and failure can be costly.

Secondly, there are also strict restrictions on taking Felicia elixir. Once an overdose is taken, it may cause dizziness, or become reckless and even arrogant.

Even Slughorn, the Potions Professor who has the ability to configure Felicity Elixir, only took Felicity Elixir twice, once at the age of 24 and once at the age of 57.

This shows how difficult it is to make Felicia and the consequences of overdose.

However, even though Felicia has a dosage limit, the price of Felicia is still very high.Under normal circumstances, the price of Felicia Elixir was as high as 2000 Galleons.

Having lived in the wizarding world for ten years, Ivan is already familiar with the price level of the wizarding world, including the exchange rates of gold Galleons, silver Sickles, and copper Knuts.

One gold Galleon was exchanged for seventeen silver Sickles, and one silver Sickle was exchanged for twenty-nine copper Knuts.According to the current price level of the wizarding world, the largest department of the Ministry of Magic, the most dangerous professional Auror in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, only costs 29 Galleons a month.

In Diagon Alley next door, the recruitment information of Lihen Bookstore in the Daily Prophet indicated that the monthly salary of the clerk was 42 Galleons; the monthly salary of the Gringotts dragon breeder was 28 Galleons.

Ron's father, Arthur Weasley, worked in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Department under the Law Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic, and his monthly salary was only 50 Galleons.

Molly Weasley is a full-time wife, plus seven children, only relying on Arthur Weasley's monthly salary, thus causing the poverty of the Weasley family.

In addition, in the wizarding village of Hogsmeade, the butter beer at the Three Broomsticks Bar is only 2 silver Sickles, how cheap is it?
Even Harry Potter's wand only costs 7 Galleons!
Of course, this price is purely a super discount from Ollivander to Harry Potter.Under normal circumstances, the cheapest wand would cost more than 20 Galleons.

Poor Ron, because the wand is too expensive, he can only use the wand used by his second brother Charlie Ron.

Another point, the prize money for the Tournament of the Top Three is only 1000 Galleons.But you must know that the rules of the competition for the top three don't care about life or death.

The test of life and death, the bonus is only 1000 Galleons!

To sum up, the price of a bottle of Felicia has reached 2000 Galleons, which is a sky-high price. Similar to the Weasley family, or ordinary wizards, it is impossible to imagine buying a bottle of Felicia .

"Haha, little Ivan, do you think Barlow and Joanna really don't know?" Borgin Bock said inexplicably, and then continued, "How much turquoise have you wasted over the years? And Muggles The world's most precious emerald gemstone? Or even green emerald?"

Ai Wen was stunned for a moment, "Uncle Bo Jin, how do you know?"

"Last year alone, the total value of the various materials you consumed was about 7000 Galleons. Do you think your father didn't know about such a huge consumption?" Bojin Bock gave a detailed account again.

Ivan sighed, he really wasted a lot of materials last year.After all, three generations of poor alchemists, a little guy who is addicted to alchemy and cannot extricate himself, naturally has a relatively high cost.

However, is there really as much as 7000 Galleons?Ai Wen thought there was only one or two thousand gold Galleons at most!

"Okay, okay, little Aiwen, this bottle of Felicity Elixir, I hope you use it at a critical moment." Bojin Bock pushed the Felicity Elixir over again.

This time, Ivan did not refuse.

Although the Felicity Elixir was worth 2000 Galleons, whether it was Bojin Bock or the Golden Griffin Family, just 2000 Galleons was really not a big sum.

"Thank you Uncle Bojin." Ai Wen said sincerely.

Borgin Bock waved his hand, "By the way, little Ivan, why do you always need turquoise, emerald, and green emerald?"

Aiwen considered whether Bojin Bork was asking this question, or his father, the Earl of the Golden Griffin.However, in a blink of an eye, Ai Wen stopped looking into it.

Does it make a difference whether it's Borgin Bock asking or his father asking?Anyway, as long as he said it, his father would definitely know all the details.

"I'm doing an experiment, research and development experiments based on potion science. At present, it is still in the research stage, so it consumes a lot. By the way, Uncle Bojin, I need some vines of life. These things grow in Africa. I don't I like it there!" Ai Wen said the answer and made another request.

Now that the problem is clear, some more complex alchemy materials can naturally be obtained through Bojin Bock.

"No problem!" Borgin Bock agreed without hesitation, "Do you need anything else?"

"Of course! If you can get thorium, that would be a wonderful thing. In addition, I need some dragon scales, well, I want the scales of the black dragon of the Heshidia Islands." Ivan made the request again.

Thorium is a special magical metal that is not widely used in the wizarding world, mainly in Hogwarts, which prohibits the use of apparation.

Although thorium is relatively rare, the price is not expensive. It is about 28 gold galleons per ounce, that is, the price of 1 gram of thorium is approximately equal to 1 gold galleon, which is still within the acceptable range.

The black dragon scales of the Heshidiali Islands are a tricky thing.

It is also a dragon-like creature living in the UK, the black dragon of the Heshidia Islands, far surpasses the Welsh green dragon in terms of danger.Even the black dragon in the Heshidia Islands, the favorite food is venison, but it does not exclude other large animals, including humans of course.

If it is just an ordinary wizard who has passed the OWLs exam, the black dragon from the Heshidiali Islands can completely fight ten of them one by one, and even beat a group of wizards out of the sky.

Bojin Bok heard that Aiwen needed the scales of the black dragon of the Heshidiali Islands, and his expression was startled, then he frowned and said, "Little Aiwen, are you sure you only need scales? Anyway, I won't give you any dragons anyway." biological eggs."

Apparently Bojin Bork thought that Ivan had the idea of ​​raising dragon creatures!

In the British wizarding world, a considerable number of young wizards always fantasize about raising a dragon-like creature, and then ride the dragon-like creature to Hogwarts.

However, neither the danger of dragon creatures nor the regulations of the Ministry of Magic allow such a situation to occur.Even a noble pure-blood family cannot openly raise dragon creatures.

"Don't worry, Uncle Bojin, I just want black dragon scales." Aiwen promised, he is going to use these materials to do another alchemy experiment, hope it will be successful, right?
