Chapter 591 Pregnant Tonks

The welcoming waiters standing in front of the two huge stone doors of Gringotts were no longer the red goblins of the past, but two wizards in tuxedos and white gloves.

Cruz frowned slightly.

He had no good feelings towards greedy creatures like goblins. Seeing the waiters turned into wizards, he thought that the goblins had hired wizards to stand at the gates. In his opinion, this behavior was undoubtedly a violation of authority.

But Cruz did not get angry. He knew very well that he had no ability to argue with the goblins, so he decisively admitted his defeat.

Of course, he himself was unwilling to admit that he was a coward. He was very proud to regard this behavior as the elegance of the nobility. After all, the nobility would not treat slaves as equals.

So Cruz raised his head and proudly entered Gringotts with the two waiters.

As soon as he entered the hall of Gringotts, Cruz's frowning brows became even tighter.

Because he found that not only the waiter at the door had been replaced by a wizard, but now even the appraisers who counted the various gems and gold in the hall and the clerks at the counter had all become wizards.

Not only that, all the goblin-related elements in the hall disappeared. The super-high counters that the goblins had set up in order to be taller than the wizards had returned to normal height. The dim oil lamps that the goblins were unwilling to replace due to their stinginess were replaced with new and bright magic lamps, and many glass windows were opened on the outer walls.

All these changes made the entire Gringotts look brand new, sweeping away the previous gloomy atmosphere and becoming sunny.

Cruz stood in the brand new hall where people came and went, and seemed a little at a loss about these changes.

At this time, a young man dressed as a waiter came up, his face was filled with a bright smile, and he said to Cruz:

"Sir, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Uh... I'm here to withdraw money."

Cruz didn't react for a while. He looked at the elegant and confident young man in front of him, and he even stuttered when he spoke.

The young man saw him like this, and the smile on his face did not change at all. He said:

"Please follow me, sir, the deposit and withdrawal counter is here. You came at the right time. If you wait until noon, you will have to queue up."

As he spoke, the young waiter led Cruz to a counter, and then pulled out a soft chair in front of the counter and let Cruz sit in it.

Cruz moved his buttocks and felt the soft feeling coming from below, and his mood improved a little.

He turned his head and saw a beautiful young woman standing behind the counter. She stood straight, which made her hot body wrapped in a uniform clearly visible.

Most importantly, like the young waiter, she also had a warm smile on her face.

All of this made Cruz's face also involuntarily smile.

Then, before Cruz could speak, the young waiter had already informed the female clerk of Cruz's withdrawal request.

The female clerk was also efficient. She asked Cruz for his ID and magic signature in a gentle tone, and then she quickly settled the withdrawal record. Finally, she handed Cruz a small bag of gold galleons with both hands.

During this time, the young waiter also brought Cruz a glass of ice water.

At this moment, Cruz was almost grinning from ear to ear. This was simply his most enjoyable withdrawal experience. In the past, the fairies never had a good face when facing guests like him who came to withdraw money, as if he was blackmailing the fairies.

Cruz laughed, patted the shoulder of the young waiter beside him and said:

"You are really excellent! I guess you must be from a big family and come to Gringotts to experience life?"

After saying that, Cruz raised his head again, with a determined look on his face.

The young man looked at the woman behind the counter, then raised his eyebrows and said:

"I'm sorry, sir, we are not pure-blood wizards. My father and mother are ordinary people, that is, Muggles in your mouth."

"Uh... How is this possible!" Cruz was stunned for a moment, and then screamed, "How can such an outstanding young man like you be a mud..."

"Shh!"

Before Cruz finished speaking, the young waiter made a silent gesture to stop him, and then looked at him with a dangerous look and said:

"Sir, I advise you not to say that word. According to the latest decree issued by the great Minister McTominay, that word has become a taboo word. If you say that word in front of us, you may be arrested and sent to Azkaban." Cruz stopped

talking. He stared at the young man and girl blankly, with a slightly stunned expression on his face.

Because he found that the warm smile on the young man and girl's face had disappeared, and was replaced by a hint of arrogance and contempt. Indifference.

Not only that, because his voice was too loud just now, the people at other counters had already noticed the situation here, and they were looking at him with the same dangerous eyes as the young man and girl. Cruz even saw an old witch with ragged clothes, who was obviously a mudblood, pointing at him and talking to the security personnel in the hall.

All of this made his back cold!

He grabbed the purse on the counter, turned around and ran out of Gringotts like he was escaping. After making sure that no one was chasing him, he stopped panting, slowing down his breathing while carefully stroking his few hairs.

Until this time, he still couldn't believe that the two boys and girls were actually mudbloods!

This is incredible!

Their behavior is even more aristocratic than Cruz himself, an old pure-blood noble!

After sighing that the world is really wonderful, Cruz embarked on a journey to the cafe again. Although something unpleasant happened before, he still had to celebrate the noble day.

Because of his previous experience in Gringotts, Cruz paid more attention to the shops on both sides when he walked on the street.

He was shocked when he saw it.

The shops on both sides of Diagon Alley had changed drastically. The strange-shaped shops in the past had disappeared, and were replaced by rows of strange buildings that blended fantasy colors and modern atmosphere. This disgusted Cruz. He hated the modern architectural style. In his words, this kind of Muggle building was ugly!

Cruz rubbed his eyes hard to forget the annoying scene just now, and then accelerated towards his set goal.

But he was disappointed again.

The coffee shop that he often went to, which only served pure-blood wizards, was gone at this moment, replaced by a barbecue restaurant.

Their kitchen was open, and through the window Cruz could clearly see the young chef wearing a chef's hat skillfully making barbecue with a flaming wand. The business in their store was also very hot, and customers even lined up outside the store.

The aroma of barbecue continued to come from the open door of the store. Cruz swallowed his saliva instinctively, but had no intention of entering the store.

Because this was inconsistent with his status as a pure-blood noble!

On the street, Cruz stood there with a pale face.

Looking at the constant flow of people around and the lively scenes of various stores holding activities in front of their doors, Cruz couldn't help but have a terrible idea in his mind.

'Could it be that...times have changed? '

...

In the clock tower on the top floor of Gringotts, Mike was looking at the busy street below through the huge brown glass.

A black raven landed in front of him, twisting its head and curiously looking at the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared in its home.

Its appearance also attracted Mike's attention. Mike smiled and stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the raven's smooth feathers.

Seeing this, a glimmer flashed in the raven's eyes. This smart little guy knew what Mike was going to do. It had lived in Diagon Alley for a long time, and there were often people who wanted to touch it.

Of course, those people usually took out some food to bribe it before touching it, sometimes some bread crumbs, sometimes half a grilled fish.

And now Mike actually wanted to get it for free!

This was naturally not allowed!

So the raven raised its head slightly, and by the way, waited for the hand to get closer, and then gave the ignorant hairless monkey in front of it a blow!

However, before it launched an attack, it suddenly found that its body froze, and then the big hand grabbed it, and held it in its arms and slowly stroked it.

This raven is very fat, and Mike feels very comfortable to touch.

While touching it, he continued to look at Diagon Alley below, and the smile in the corner of his eyes became more intense.

As he expected, the Muggle wizard community has potential, especially those Muggle wizards who have lived in the Muggle world for a long time.

These guys have both the power of wizards and open minds and smart brains.

After Mike untied the expectations that bound the Muggle wizards, they naturally poured into all walks of life in the wizarding world and gradually began to shine.

The first thing that worked was business.

In the past, the wizarding world of Yingguo habitually looked down on all Muggle products, thinking that those were things belonging to the lowly mudbloods, and they disdained to manufacture and use them.

But some Muggle products are really useful, the most classic of which are food and clothes.

Wizards crave these things, but are unwilling to get them from the Muggle world.

What to do?

The answer is to go to an open country like France to buy imitations made by wizards, which not only satisfies their sense of superiority over wizards' products, but also allows them to use useful Muggle creations.

But the problem is that these things are very expensive in France.

After Michael came to power and issued a series of decrees, those smart wizards seized this opportunity and began to move various things from the Muggle world back to Diagon Alley with slight improvements.

As expected, these cheap and useful things exploded! The economy of the magic world in Yingguo also miraculously recovered quickly after the war.

For example, the barbecue restaurant before was actually an ordinary American BBQ barbecue restaurant. Mike, who had poor skills, couldn't eat it at all, but because the chef was a wizard, he also incorporated spells into the production process of barbecue, so it became a hot restaurant in Diagon Alley.

So sometimes you really can't figure out the minds of consumers!

This is just commercial feedback. As the days go by, Mike believes that there will be more surprises waiting for him in other places in the future.

After all, the most valuable resource of the wizarding society is talent. In the past, the Muggle wizards were foolishly sealed by the Ministry of Magic. Now that they are suddenly reintegrated into society, it will naturally cause a lot of feedback.

This can also be regarded as a special population welfare in a sense.

After sighing, Mike let go of the raven in his arms and prepared to go back to the Ministry of Magic to continue working.

As soon as the unfortunate raven left Mike's arms, it found that its body could move again. It flew to the huge pointer not far away in fear and cried loudly to Mike.

Mike ignored him. With a light wave of the wand in his hand, the whole person turned into a residual shadow and disappeared in the clock tower, leaving only the raven with a confused face.

At the same time, Tonks was lying on a wooden rocking chair.

Although it was summer, Tonks was still wearing long soft fur pajamas, and a brown blanket covered her belly.

Looking at the blanket, Tonks sighed deeply, her face full of helplessness.

She didn't want to make it so awkward, but this was Lupin's request.

The reason why Lupin did this was very simple, that is, Tonks was pregnant.

This was something he had just learned not long ago. At that time, Lupin was so happy that he didn't care about the fruits and vegetables planted in the field. He was around Tonks all day, fearing that Tonks was cold or hungry.

Sometimes Tonks was half asleep in the middle of the night, and Lupin would be careful when she didn't wake up, and then look at Tonks with a panic face, and only go back to sleep after confirming that Tonks was okay.

Tonks admitted that Lupin's overly caring behavior did make her feel a little uncomfortable.

But she understood Lupin's behavior very well. After all, he was a werewolf. The children born from werewolves and ordinary wizards would most likely be werewolves, and only a very small probability would be normal people.

This made Lupin very worried and guilty.

At the same time, Tonks actually enjoyed Lupin's meticulous care, which made her fully feel Lupin's love for her.

Recalling the embarrassment and clumsy movements of Lupin in the process of taking care of her, Tonks gently stroked her belly with a bright smile on her face, and her hair, which was constantly changing in color, turned directly into a soft pink.

While Tonks was still immersed in happiness, in the living room outside the sun room, Lupin and Black sat in front of the extinguished fireplace with sad faces, and remained silent for a long time.
