Chapter 471: The Promise Made By Nurmengard Will Definitely Be Fulfilled!
“All the members of the advance team are back.
Rohir walked into the office and said to Grindelwald.
In Grindelwald's office. The group of people who had just participated in the operation were waiting quietly. At this time, everyone smiled when they heard Rochiel's words.
"Very good! As long as everyone returns safely, then we have left a clue, and the goblins have no evidence to do anything to us."
"Everyone, please go back and rest. Of course, I will not forget your contribution."
"Vita, take this box and decide how to distribute it to them."
Grindelwald casually picked up a box on the table and handed it over. I don’t know which unlucky guy’s vault it contains.
Rohir knew that Grindelwald was lazy again. He had no choice but to take the suitcase and leave Grindelwald's office with the others.
At this time, only Grindelwald and Blake were left in Grindelwald's office.
Grindelwald did not hide it, and asked straight to the point: "What do you want to get from the Staranci family's treasury?"
Blake didn't hide anything and took out Hufflepuff's golden cup. When Grindelwald took the golden cup, he felt all the hairs on his body stand up for no reason.
Only extremely evil black magic props could make him feel like this.
"This feeling is a bit familiar... Wait..."
After Grindelwald looked at it for a while, he finally recognized what it was. "Is it that madman's Horcrux again?"
"Yes, that's right." Blake nodded.
"How many Horcruxes did that lunatic create? After splitting the soul into so many parts, is he really not going crazy?"
Grindelwald frowned. Among the things he was most worried about, losing his mind was one of them.
But Voldemort completely ignored this and actually created so many Horcruxes.
In terms of "fact" 200", what Voldemort did later was not very rational.
Grindelwald nodded, "Indeed, he is already a madman..."
Blake said: "What he wants most is immortality. In order to live forever, he will pay any price. A little reason is nothing."
Grindelwald curled his lips, "I will never do this for the sake of so-called immortality. By the way...how did you know that the forest is in the Leicester clan's treasury?"
Blake took out the box containing the lich and smiled: "I even transformed Voldemort's remnant soul. Of course, his memory cannot escape my eyes."
"Oh..." Grindelwald suddenly realized.
Of course Blake did not know the location of the gold cup from Voldemort's so-called memory, but this is the only explanation that makes sense. Sure enough [Grindelmore didn't have much doubt.
Blake put the gold cup away again. When he gets back, he has to show this to Dumbledore.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for Dumbledore to explain.
After all, it was to be expected that he would make a fuss, but if it made such a big fuss... he still had to have something to comfort him.
Grindelwald said: "Can you release the remnant soul of Voldemort that you transformed and show it to me? I have never seen anything like this.
Blake readily released the lich.
While Grindelwald was watching the lich with great interest.
Blake sat on the other side, took out a lot of materials and started tinkering with them.
Grindelwald quickly noticed, "What are you doing?"
"Didn't someone just say something about an angry revolver?" Bly said helplessly.
"Hahaha, you still remember! I thought you just agreed casually." Grindelwald was very happy.
"Actually, I didn't have to do it, but you didn't deal with me casually. I'm really happy."
Blake stopped what he was doing, "You said you don't have to do it? Then..."
"No, no, no... I'm just telling you, actually, I want it very much." Grindelwald's eyes were full of sincerity.
Fudge's head got bigger again. It's only been a few days since I've had peace...
He knew that Grindelwald would do Gringotts, but he didn't expect that it would be so big.
Now, the goblins and wizards suddenly reached a tense situation.
If he doesn't handle it well, the war with the goblins may start again...
That is the goblin who controls the finance and economy of the wizarding world, and it is really going to the point of war. The impact is not limited to the UK.
Goblins are an extremely united and exclusive race. If it really gets to that point, the fragile economic order of the wizarding world around the world will collapse directly.
At that time, as the British Minister of Magic, he was the culprit
Fudge cursed Grindelwald in his mind, put on his coat and hurried out. He had to go to Gringotts and talk to the goblins.
At this time, Fudge couldn't help but miss Dumbledore.
If he hadn't had a falling out with Dumbledore, then Dumbledore would naturally step forward and help him negotiate with the goblins.
But now... Dumbledore had no hope. As for Grindelwald....
After he finished his work, he wiped his butt and ran away. Fudge didn't dare to expect him to help him in this matter.
Moreover, the more chaotic Gringotts is, the happier Grindelwald is.
So, let alone asking Grindelwald for help, it would be good if he didn't add fuel to the fire.
Fudge hurried down the stairs with a few Aurors, and he was going to rush directly to Diagon Alley through Floo powder.
However, as soon as he walked down the stairs, he saw a familiar figure.
Dumbledore was sitting on the chair in the reception area of the Ministry of Magic Hall, reading the newspaper with a solemn expression.
Such a character, sitting in the hall of the Ministry of Magic, is very eye-catching. Therefore, Fudge also saw him at a glance.
Fudge was surprised, wondering what Dumbledore was doing here.
As if sensing something, Dumbledore raised his head and met Fudge's surprised gaze.
He folded the newspaper in his hand, stood up, and walked to Fudge.
"Connelly, I already know what's going on. I thought maybe you needed help.
Fudge looked at Dumbledore in shock. He had humiliated Dumbledore so much before, and Dumbledore would actually help him?
"You...I..." Fudge looked very troubled.
In fact, of course, in his heart, Shibulido really came to help him.
After all, negotiating with the goblins by myself is really quite helpless.
However, when he humiliated Dumbledore like that, was Dumbledore really sincerely helping him?
If he claims to be helping him on the surface but cheats on him secretly, then he will really be doomed.
Seeing Fudge's troubled expression, Dumbledore immediately understood what Fudge was thinking.
He sighed, "Connelly, this matter is now far greater than the grudge between you and me. If it is not handled well, it will be of no benefit to everyone."
Fudge looked at Dumbledore's sincere eyes and felt a sense of peace in his heart.
It was this familiar feeling that as long as Dumbledore was around, there was no problem that he couldn't solve.
At this time, Fudge felt a rare feeling of guilt in his heart...
"Okay... Okay, I'm planning to go to Diagon Alley now, then... let's go together."
Gringotts.
In an office decorated with various gold objects.
Several well-dressed old goblins were gathering together. It's just that their expressions were terrifyingly gloomy.
"How many vaults were stolen this time?" asked an old goblin sitting behind the desk.
"A total of twenty-one large vaults and six small vaults in Wutian were wiped out...
The old fairies present had painful expressions on their faces... as if they were the ones who lost the money.
"Besides...there were exactly twenty-one thieves who broke in last night."
"Twenty-one people, twenty-one large treasury..." The old goblin frowned. "This group of people are definitely not simple thieves..."
"Manager, we have to inform the president of this matter immediately!"
The old goblin rubbed his forehead, "I know...but...President Locke went...to a place. I have no way to contact him directly..."
"Where did President Locke go?" an old goblin asked.
"I'm not even qualified to ask about this. However, this matter has a great impact. I think President Locke will definitely know about it. When the time comes, he will naturally come back."
Next, these goblins subconsciously skipped this seemingly sensitive topic. The conversation started again around the loss of Gringotts and the identity of the thief.
"Although the Gringotts building is severely damaged, it is still acceptable."
"But those stolen vaults...the wealth lost is simply astronomical...most importantly, the credibility we have lost...if no one believes that Gringotts is the most powerful Safe... Then maybe no one would want to store gold in Gringotts anymore..."
"That's right! Among the treasuries that were ransacked was Grindelwald's treasury! Today, Grindelwald will send someone to withdraw the money... Hey, it's another troublesome matter..."
"And those thieves, why did they choose to attack at this time? Moreover, the weapons they used seemed to be Muggle weapons? But I have never seen wizards use Muggle weapons.
"No... Manager, I happen to remember that there is an organization that uses this modified Muggle weapon! Don't you remember? A few weeks ago, the attack on Blake Green...
The goblin manager suddenly stood up, "Now it seems that the identity of the thief is about to be revealed!"
Looking at the puzzled eyes of the other goblins.
The goblin manager said: "I happen to know who hired these guys to kill Blake Green!"
The crowd in Diagon Alley was larger than ever before.
People wanted to see with their own eyes what Gringotts looked like after a huge change.
Because this morning's front page of the Daily Prophet reported on the Gringotts robbery.
It also includes an animation of the dome of Gringotts being broken through by a fire dragon.
The author of the article is Rita Skeeter, and her article follows her usual style of making things up.
But this time, she was instigated by someone...
Starting from the title of the article, it is already full of conspiracy theories...
"Gringotts encountered a great robbery that is rare in a century! Is this a self-directed and voluntary conspiracy by the goblins?"
The article even began to speculate on the dark thoughts of the goblins.
"... As we all know, Gringotts is known as the safest place in the wizarding world. Perhaps only Hogwarts, with Dumbledore as its commander, can compare with them. But it is such a well-guarded place. Will encounter such a large-scale robbery? The author thinks that there is a big secret in this matter! Looking back on recent major events, the author found that the event that attracted the most public attention was Grindelwald's proposal to create a social welfare institution. Moreover, the author remembers that Nurmengard
Representatives will go to Gringotts to withdraw the money this morning. There is no doubt that this is a lot of money! However, at this juncture, the night before withdrawing the money, Gringotts unexpectedly lost it.
Stealed? No need to think too much. This morning, it was impossible for Nurmengard's representatives to get even one Copper Nut in Gringotts. Because Gringotts has been surrounded by goblins, any
Any wizard who wants to get close will be forced back by the goblin's crossbow. Thinking of the characters of goblins, I made a surprising discovery. Being robbed seems to be a very good thing.
The excuse of money......"
Rita Skeeter's report was, of course, a fabrication. However, there is some truth to her random words, which made many people suspicious.
You, Gringotts, have been so safe for so many years, why was it suddenly stolen? The night before you were about to spend a large sum of money?
The most important thing is, no matter what the truth is. That is, Grindelwald's welfare institution plan will definitely be shelved because of this incident. There is no doubt about it. Because now, that is
Even ordinary people can no longer enter Gringotts to withdraw money.
For a time, those people who were living in poverty and waiting for the establishment of welfare institutions were in an uproar. Anger gradually spread among these people because of Rita's report.
"We need to talk to your president. I know you need to talk too."
Dumbledore said to an elf guard at the gate of Gringotts
His expression was not very good either, because he also noticed the changes in the eyes of the wizards around him...
After reading the newspaper article, he realized that this storm would be very big.
That's why I hurried over to discuss with the goblins.
At least, Gringotts must be allowed to temporarily lift this meaningless blockade.
Otherwise, people will not be able to withdraw money, and if people with malicious intentions add fuel to the flames, the consequences will be disastrous.
Of course he knew that Grindelwald and Blake were responsible for all this. However, after tacitly handing over this matter to Grindelwald, he was already ready to wipe their ass.
Be prepared, because that guy is always reckless when doing things... As for Blake... Huh, it's that old guy who ruined the child!
"Back off!" The goblin guard pointed his crossbow at Dumbledore and Fudge.
Fudge was frightened and took a step back, and then immediately realized that he had lost face. He glared at the goblin angrily, "I am the Minister of Magic!"
"Back off!"
"you!"
"Calm down, kid..." The old voice came from behind the goblin guard. "Don't hurt the guests."
"Manager Lance." Dumbledore felt relieved when he saw the senior management coming out. It seems that this matter can still be discussed.
"Minister Fudge, Professor Dumbledore. As you can see, Gringotts has suffered a huge blow... I think you should be able to understand our emotions." Lance frowned.
Said with a face.
Dumbledore said kindly: "Of course we can understand, Manager Lance, so we are here. We also want to help you.
"What I want to say is that thieves may be wizards, but not all wizards are thieves. Just because of those few thieves, all the faults cannot be placed on all innocent wizards."
just. "
"You know, we all trust you, that's why we all deposit gold in Gringotts. So... friends, you don't need to boycott other wizards like this.
Lance shook his head, "You are right, Professor Dumbledore. I promise you that Gringotts will not anger any innocent wizards, but... please forgive us, Gringotts."
Pavilion had to stop service for a few days. "
"As you can see, Gringotts is like this... We need some time... I think you can accept it if we withdraw the money a few days later, right?"
Fudge was delighted. The goblin didn't say that he wouldn't let the wizard withdraw the money, but said that he would wait a few days! In other words, as long as he accepts this statement, this turmoil will not rise to the level of war.
noodle.
"What if I say I don't accept it?" A cold voice came from behind Fudge.
The goblins looked over displeased. Vita Rocher led a group of people and strode up to Dance.
"I don't care about other people, but we have to withdraw money today. This is related to the establishment of our welfare institution!"
When Fudge saw that it was Grindelwald, his anger immediately subsided.
"Well...can it be postponed for a few days? I think it's okay for the welfare agency to postpone it for a few days, right?"
"What Nurmengard says must be fulfilled. Don't say it's a few days late, it won't even be a minute late!"
