Chapter 496
The incident of Gringotts being robbed by Grindelwald could not be concealed at all, and it was soon leaked.
Countless people on the street saw the sudden rise of blue flames, the giant dragon that broke through the air, and the dozens of people who were in Gringotts at the time. The Ministry of Magic and the goblins had no time to block the news.
Everyone knew that Gringotts suffered heavy losses today - from now on, this place is no longer the safest place in the world, and people's trust in this place has been greatly reduced.
These invisible losses are greater than the Galleons they have to compensate.
Soon, Fudge came with a large force, fifty Aurors, nearly a hundred strikers, and the executive of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
Together with the several teams that came before, this is two-thirds of the armed forces of the British Ministry of Magic.
"Where is Grindelwald?" Fudge asked knowingly, he dared to show up only when he was sure that Grindelwald had completely left.
Dawlish said tearfully: "Minister, he emptied my vault and left nothing!"
"Don't be sad, Dawlish." Fudge comforted: "I believe Gringotts will compensate you for your losses.~"
A goblin behind him changed his face: "Minister Fudge, this is Grindelwald, how can we Gringotts stop him."
"It doesn't matter." Fudge didn't even look at him, "The wizard's money was lost in Gringotts, you should compensate, I don't need any reason."
The goblin looked at him hatefully and took people to count the looted vault.
In the evening, even the little wizards in Hogwarts received the news, and the Daily Prophet published an expedited evening edition for this.
When the young wizards saw Grindelwald actually came to England and robbed Gringotts, they all felt a chill all over their bodies - fortunately he came today, if it was two days earlier, many of them would have been there.
Ron's focus was different from most people.
He looked at the list of victims in the newspaper, and his voice was distorted, "Malfoy, Lestrange, Flint, Black... How much money did Grindelwald take?"
The annual management fee of the treasury of such a pure-blood family is more than the total assets of their family. He really couldn't imagine how rich Grindelwald would become after robbing so much.
Harry was worried about Sirius, and hurried to write a letter to greet him after reading the newspaper.
Small world in a suitcase.
Hermione looked at the newspaper with a sad face: "Why did Grindelwald come all the way to rob a bank?"
"Am I fucking sick? Why did I come all the way to rob Gringotts?"
At Durmstrang, Grindelwald had been stunned for ten minutes holding the information.
"Sir." Vida Rosier hesitated, "You really didn't do it?"
To be honest, now that Grindelwald said it wasn't him, she didn't believe it.
The bewitching words, the Fiendfyre that was placed wherever he went.
Plus, she hadn't seen Grindelwald since last night, and didn't show up until this afternoon, which is even more suspicious.
The most important thing is... Grindelwald is very short of money now, and the plan that the saints are secretly carrying out is a bottomless pit of money.
He has reasons and motives to rob a bank.
He has the strength to do it.
"Would I not admit it if it was me?" Grindelwald was rarely angry, and slapped the table with a slap: "It's just robbing Gringotts, do I need to go out in person? What do you do for a living!"
Doing this kind of thing, wouldn't it lower his level, from a life mentor to a greedy robber?
How could he be so stupid!
Vida Rozier hurriedly lowered his head, "Someone must be framing you, Voldemort, or Dumbledore?"
Grindelwald didn't speak, he picked up the newspaper in his hand again, and when he saw one of the lines, his eyes flashed.
[Grindelwald showed great fear of Mr. Lawrence and praised him as a great wizard rarely seen in a thousand years. ]
He couldn't say such shameless words.
Dumbledore couldn't say it either.
Voldemort was even less likely to do that, he almost hated Wayne.
So
Grindelwald's mind flashed with the boy's shy smile, and he tore the newspaper to pieces with a snap of his hands.
"Wayne Lawrence!"
Vida looked up in astonishment, "You said Lawrence did it? Isn't he our ally?"
"Allies are shit!" Grindelwald was furious, "This kid is so ruthless when it comes to cheating people. Last time he brought Scamander here to cheat him."
"He even cheated Scamander, who am I?"
Rosier was also numb. He didn't expect Grindelwald to scold him when he got ruthless. He subconsciously asked, "Then should we clarify it to the public?"
"It's useless." Grindelwald said bitterly, "Do you think those people are willing to believe Lawrence or me?"
Rosier was speechless.
Their reputation is indeed a bit bad.
"Stop the experiment tomorrow. People from the International Federation will definitely come. Deal with them first, and then I will go to Lawrence to settle the score!"
Grindelwald was very angry, not only because Wayne borrowed his identity to do bad things, but also because he thought that this bad thing was too tasteless.
You should at least attack the Ministry of Magic and kill the Minister of Magic.
Just rob that little money and become a dark wizard casually, right?
Besides, you are not without money.
Just to disgust me, right?
The next day, the people from the International Federation had not arrived yet, but the culprit came.
Wayne came to Durmstrang quietly and appeared in Grindelwald's office without disturbing anyone.
Except Vida Rosier.
Nominally, Grindelwald is the principal of this school, but in fact, it is still managed by Rosier. This is actually her office.
Ten minutes later, Rosier and Grindelwald walked in aggressively,He was still holding a magic wand.
"Lawrence boy, I haven't come to you yet, and you've come to me."
"Do you really want to fight?" Wayne looked at Rosier, "I don't care, but I'm afraid that your assistant will die under an unknown spell, which is a pity."
"You're joking, Mr. Lawrence." Vida Rosier said neither servilely nor arrogantly, "It's my honor to dedicate myself to Lord Grindelwald."
Tsk.
What a good secretary, but her vision is a little worse.
"You go out first." Grindelwald said in a deep voice. Rosier bowed slightly, closed the door after leaving, and drove everyone on this floor downstairs.
The confused teachers and students didn't know why, but they didn't dare to disobey her orders.
"You must give me an explanation." In the office, Grindelwald's cold face reminded Wayne of Snape, both of them were equally stinky, "Why did you use my identity to do that kind of thing?"
"To spread the Dark Lord's reputation."
Wayne grinned, "Most of the wizards in Britain don't know your power. I'll help you promote it. Don't thank me."
"........"
Grindelwald fell silent.
He was joking, right?
Yesterday's incident made the entire magic world nervous, and they thought Grindelwald was going to tear up the agreement that had just been reached.
But they said they were helping him become famous?
He did become famous, but it was all a bad reputation!
At breakfast today, the students at Durmstrang looked at him with extremely complicated eyes, and some even asked the professor to ask him if he needed donations.
Has Grindelwald been so poor that he had to beg for a living?
"I'm not kidding you." Grindelwald slowly sat up straight: "Wayne, we are in a cooperative relationship, but this is not a reason for you to act recklessly."
"If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, even if I am not your opponent, I will tear a piece of flesh from you."
The demon kings all have dignity-except Voldemort.
Wayne did something out of line without notifying him yesterday, which has violated Grindelwald's taboo. The two have similar temperaments and get along well with each other, but this is not enough.
"Okay, I'm here to explain the reason."
Wayne sighed and scratched his hair in frustration: "One of Voldemort's Horcruxes is hidden in Gringotts."
Grindelwald's face changed: "Are you looking for a Horcrux?"
"That's right, my identity is not convenient for me to break in, but you are different. It's natural for you to do any evil things."
Grindelwald's mouth twitched, and he couldn't refute this.
"Did you find it?"
"No." Wayne leaned back: "Voldemort has become more cautious. He knows we are looking for Horcruxes and did not put the things in the Lestrange family warehouse."
"Of course, this is also a cover-up, an excuse.If you make such a fuss, I will have a reason to allow the Aurors to use the killing curse legally. "
"You can just notify me and let me do it myself." Grindelwald's anger has subsided, but he is still a little dissatisfied. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
"There is no time." Wayne explained weakly. He and Hermione studied academic research until late last night, and this morning he came all the way to comfort Grindelwald.
"I want 80% of the money that was robbed."
Grindelwald looked at his tired appearance, curled his lips, and stopped entangled in this issue.
The matter is done, and he can only be angry at himself.
In dealing with Voldemort, his interests are the same as Wayne's.
Dumbledore's only nemesis is him!
What is Voldemort!
"Are you crazy? "Wayne looked at him strangely, "I worked so hard to rob the money, why should I give you a share?"
"That was robbed by Grindelwald!"
"At most 20%."
"60%, I will help you deal with the subsequent troubles."
"30%."
"50%, if it's less, I will directly self-destruct and turn into your appearance to rob other Gringotts."
"You are so cruel, 50% is 50%."[]
Wayne deducted half of the hundreds of thousands of Galleons he robbed with reluctance, and then took it out and divided it equally with Grindelwald.
"That's all?" Grindelwald looked suspicious.
"My purpose is to find the Horcrux, and I take the money just to cover it up."
"Okay." Grindelwald put it away without changing his expression, which also meant that he took the blame.
"Roar! "
A huge dragon roar suddenly came from outside the castle. Grindelwald looked out and saw an iron belly really circling around the school.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you." Wayne said casually: "This is the one I released from Gringotts. It will be more convincing if I keep it with you."
"Hmph." Grindelwald snorted and said nothing.
"I'll go first." Wayne stood up and summoned the Phoenix King.
"So urgent?" Grindelwald frowned, "I still have some questions to talk to you about magic."
"Next time, I have things to do when I go back."
Wayne waved his hand, his expression became gritted, "Yesterday, those goblins actually encouraged you to rob my vault, and I haven't settled accounts with them yet! "
After saying that, Wayne disappeared in Grindelwald's strange eyes.
Soon, as Grindelwald expected, Keynes of the International Federation rushed over with a large number of Aurors and blocked the school gate.
Seeing the iron belly still hovering in the sky, everyone no longer had any doubts in their hearts.
If it wasn't Grindelwald who did it, would this dragon come here?
With a few saints, Grindelwald walked out of the door with a stinky face.
"What are you doing here again."
"Grindelwald, you broke the promise first!" Keynes scolded:"Have you forgotten what you said at the beginning? Hand over the stolen treasure, or I will ask Mr. Lawrence to come again!"
Grindelwald, who was already in a bad mood because of the big pot on his back, saw him jump like this, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Swish!
A spell cut through the air and pierced Keynes' ears before all the Aurors reacted.
"The money was sponsored to me by Gringotts. What does it have to do with you?"
"I'll give you five seconds. If you don't leave, you will all stay and be snacks for the dragon!".
