Hogwarts: Please graduate soon
Chapter 497
Faced with the furious Grindelwald, a group of people ran away in disgrace.
They came here just to give an explanation to the public, to prove that they had tried but failed.
No one really wanted to go to war with Grindelwald.
Just a few dozen Galleons a month, what's the point of playing with your life.
It has to be said that after the painful lessons of the past, the magic world has become less and less bloody. Not to mention that Grindelwald did not occupy the world, even if he really succeeded, it would not matter to most people, as long as they continue to fish and muddle through.
Even many high-level people have the same appeasement thinking and compromise again and again.
And those who fight against Grindelwald are mostly just not wanting to lose the power in their hands, or the two sides have a feud between their ancestors.
Who cares about true justice?
Only the winner deserves to be called justice.
After the robbery of Gringotts, many Ministry of Magic have been preparing gifts to send to them, hoping that Grindelwald will not focus on their country, which can be regarded as a windfall for him.
Of course, these are all later stories.
Diagon Alley, London.
Gringotts, which used to be bustling with people, is still closed. The door is closed, and there are several Aurors and guards guarding the door.
Wayne came to the door of Gringotts with a cold face. His current face can be seen by the whole British magic world. Seeing his murderous appearance, the guards dared not stop him and respectfully made way for him.
"Sixty-nine-three" A large group of goblins gathered in Gringotts, calculating yesterday's losses.
The more they calculated, the more heartbroken they were. First of all, the compensation was an astronomical figure, and there was also repairing the door and rebuilding the vault.
The building materials of the gate and the vault are extremely precious special materials. Although they are vulnerable to Grindelwald, if it is other wizards, they will not be able to break through even if they use up all their magic power.
The sum of this money is enough to make the British Gringotts bankrupt immediately.
But fortunately, Gringotts in other countries will not allow such a thing to happen. Once the British Gringotts goes bankrupt and does not compensate the losses of wizards, the goblins in the world will no longer be trusted.
That night, Gringotts headquarters sent a lot of people to help deal with it.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and the goblins who were in a bad mood were about to open their mouths to curse, but after seeing who was coming, they immediately shut their mouths obediently and did not dare to breathe.
Looking at a bunch of ugly goblins, Wayne frowned: "Let's talk to someone who can do something useful."
A goblin in a suit and tie came to Wayne: "Mr. Lawrence, I'm Larry, the head of Gringotts in the UK. How can I help you?"
"Head? Then you take charge." The boy showed a sneer on his face at the right time: "I heard that a goblin actually tried to lead the ghost... Grindelwald to my vault yesterday?"
Larry's face did not change. He had already seen the newspaper last night.This scene was expected.
"Mr. Lawrence, Bourne has paid the price of his recklessness with his life."
"Debts are settled when a person dies?" Wayne laughed, and the wand had slipped out of his hand without knowing when.
"Do you think I'm easier to talk to than Grindelwald, or do you think I'm easier to bully than him?"
"Just because a goblin died, you want to turn the page?!"
At the end, a huge magical pressure came out of his body, and the glass partition that had just been repaired shattered, and all the goblins were pressed to the ground, as if the god of death had come.
"Mr. Lawrence." Larry knelt in front of Wayne, no longer humble and arrogant, but with a face full of horror: "I absolutely don't mean that, Gringotts will definitely compensate for this and satisfy you."
"Let's talk first." Wayne slightly restrained the pressure.
"Ten thousand Galleons, do you think it's okay?" Larry's heart was bleeding when he said this.
However, Wayne kicked him away.
"I owe you a few Galleons? Ten thousand Galleons, do you think you are sending away those pure-blood beggars?"
He didn't deliberately lower his voice, and the Aurors and guards outside the door heard it, and their faces became strange.
This is the first time I heard someone say that pure-bloods are a group of beggars
But Lawrence said it was right, and now all the wizards in the UK know that this young master has the most deposits in Gringotts. It is said that he has filled three vaults.
He wanted to say that anyone who is a beggar is qualified.
"I'll give you two more chances." Wayne said coldly in the house, "If you still can't satisfy me, I promise that Gringotts will disappear from the UK in the future."
"Fifty thousand, no, one hundred thousand Galleons!" Larry panicked and raised the compensation tenfold, but Wayne remained unmoved and stretched out two fingers.
"This is the second time."
"I really don't have the authority to pay more!" Larry had already cried, "Mr. Lawrence, even if you kill me, I can't take out more Galleons. Even if it's one hundred thousand Galleons, I have to go to the headquarters to borrow usury."
"If you are still not satisfied, just kill me."
Wayne used Legilimency to observe and found that this goblin really wanted to die. Sure enough, they were all a group of people who valued money over life.
"What I need is your Galleons. The number of Galleons is meaningless to me."
Wayne finally showed his fangs, "But... if you can come up with equivalent Fairy Metal, I can consider it."
An hour later, two fairies with expressions like dead family trees took Wayne into the fireplace and went to the large Fairy tribe in the Caucasus Mountains.
The two sides reached an agreement to pay compensation worth 300,000 Galleons with Fairy Metal, and Wayne will permanently get 20% off on Fairy goods in the future.
But at the same time, the Fairy also put forward a condition that the next time Grindelwald robs Gringotts, Wayne must come forward to stop it.
Of course Wayne couldn't agree to it. After a while of wrangling, it was finally decided that Gringotts would have to pay 100,000 Galleons as a reward for each transaction.
He planned to go back and discuss with Grindelwald, and cooperate from time to time to make some extra money.
What he valued was not the money, but the craftsmanship of the goblins.
Many of the metals smelted by the goblins were precious materials that were not inferior to mithril, which made Wayne very jealous. He had thought about it and even used the Imperius Curse to control several goblins of the Firebolt Company to try to steal their skills.
But later it was discovered that in many places even the craftsmen themselves could not explain why they did this.
It can only be attributed to racial talent.
With the materials piled up into a small mountain, Wayne found Nicolas Flamel, who had turned into a civil engineer.
Seeing that all the work was done by the goblins, Nico was also very surprised:
"Did you rob the goblin tribe?"
"Uh..." Wayne thought for a while, "You are right, it is indeed robbery." (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Originally, the goblins planned to pay the bill according to the market price, but he cut off four-fifths of it and calculated it as the cost price.
When he left, the goblin tribe cried loudly and tears flowed like a river.
"Next time there is such a good thing, remember to call me." Nico felt that young people's brains are still useful. Why didn't he think of robbing the goblins, and the material problem was solved in one go.
"Pere, come and help sort it out." Nico called out and went into the pile of materials to pick and choose.
Perenal followed helplessly behind.
When she was young, she was Nico's assistant. After she discovered the Philosopher's Stone and had endless life, Perenelle went to find other hobbies and let Nico study slowly by himself.
But the workload of the floating city was too heavy, so Nico had to ask Perenelle for help.
Wayne also felt that it was a bit too capitalist to leave everything to Nico alone, so he helped make a few alchemical puppets, most of which were used to move bricks, and the more advanced ones could also serve as assistants.
It helped Nico relieve a lot of pressure.
Wayne stayed outside for two days before returning to school.
Keynes came again, with gauze wrapped around his ears, hoping Wayne could stop Grindelwald's evil deeds...
"Chairman Keynes, Grindelwald didn't kill anyone this time. Oh, goblins are not people, he just lacks money."
Wayne responded weakly. He had been working hard on puppet making for two days and two nights, and he didn't close his eyes. He didn't want to argue with him at all.
"Can you rob just because you lack money?" Keynes said indignantly.
"You can cooperate with Grindelwald." Wayne came up with an idea, "As long as he doesn't lack money, he won't rob."[]
"Isn't that protection money?" Keynes blurted out.
Wayne looked at him strangely: "If you give me money...isn't it protection money?"
Keynes was silent.
Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife.
As expected of a Hufflepuff, he speaks very straightforwardly.
Although it's the same truth, he would rather give money to Lawrence than to Grindelwald.
But seeing the boy's indifference, he knew that today's goal would be difficult to achieve, so he left after a few pleasantries.
After dealing with Keynes, Wayne was ready to go back to the dormitory to catch up on sleep, but as soon as he entered the lounge, he was stopped by Hannah and Susan.
"Wayne, is Gringotts safe now?"
"Huh? Why are you asking this?" Wayne looked at them in confusion.
"My aunt asked me to come."
"My grandfather wrote to me and asked me to ask your opinion."
The two girls said at the same time.
A few more badgers came over. They were all pure blood, or mixed-blood families with some assets in the wizarding world. After this kind of thing happened, the crisis of trust in Gringotts has begun to appear.
Wayne thought for a while, "For the time being, after Grindelwald succeeded, it will be safe for the near future."
"If there is no suitable place to put the money after taking it out, you should keep it there."
"When my bank is ready, you can also deposit the money in my bank, and I guarantee there will be no problems."
"You want to open a bank?" Cedric, who was passing by, asked in surprise.
Wayne straightened his chest slightly, "Excuse me, my family opened a bank in the UK three hundred years ago, which can be called a family tradition."
The Lawrence family has shares in banks such as Barclays, Lloyds, and Standard Chartered. It is a family tradition for him to open a bank.
"That's great, you should prepare quickly, and we will deposit the money with you when the time comes." Hannah said happily, and the other badgers nodded repeatedly.
In the past, they had no choice. They could only hand over the money to Gringotts. Now Wayne is definitely more trustworthy than the goblins.
"Okay, okay." Wayne agreed with a smile.
He was going to completely destroy the goblin's financial system.
It is said that finance ruins a country, and industry makes a country prosperous. These goblins are just like the Jews, making money through finance.
How can this be possible.
Wayne wanted to make them bankrupt, and then they would go back to forging iron and become his means of production.
Only in this way can society make progress.
A week passed in a flash. Taking advantage of Grindelwald's robbery, Wayne submitted a draft in the Wizengamot Court, hoping to expand the law enforcement authority of Aurors and Executors, and have the right to use the Unforgivable Curses against enemies.
Now that the doves in the Ministry of Magic are weak and the hawks are rising, coupled with Wayne's reputation and influence in the Wizengamot, the decree was passed very quickly and took effect immediately.
Aurors have the right to use the Unforgivable Curses, and they only need to come back and write a report afterwards.
If the prisoner is killed, it will be subject to strict investigation. If it is determined that the prisoner has threatened the life of the Auror at that time,, then there won't be any problem.
On the evening of the day the bill was passed, a group of wizards came to the Auror training building to gather.
Crouch stood silently on the high platform in the front until the last person arrived, he slowly raised his wand,
"The killing feast has begun, everything... dedicated to Lawrence!".
