Chapter 586 Entrustment

Gringotts Wizarding Bank, business hall.

The bright sunlight was blocked by the marble hall, and the faces of the goblins standing in the center of the bank hall gradually began to look ugly, as if an invisible rope was slowly tightening around their necks.

"Well, if we try our best, Gringotts can indeed delay it for a long time...whether it is admitting that Gringotts broke its trust or making the original contract public. But this will undoubtedly greatly reduce the value of the bank, and then try to restore it. To reach the current level, it still takes some effort. After all, inheriting a complete Gringotts is easier than rebuilding on the ruins..."

Goblin Douglas said calmly, not loudly, but enough for everyone to hear clearly.

"The most valuable thing about venture capital is news..."

The middle-aged goblin paused, a rather complicated expression flashed across his face, and said softly.

"It's just that you may not have paid attention to some inconspicuous news. At this moment, a public trial is taking place in Hogwarts Castle, and the subject of the trial happens to be a wizard who has been 'resurrected from the dead' - Xiao Peter Dwarf.”

"What does the trial of wizards have to do with our Gringotts..."

"As far as I know, Peter Pettigrew is a very hidden Death Eater. He has been secretly lurking in Hogwarts since the fall of the mysterious man. He even stole the Slytherin family's land deed some time ago - no Wrong, it’s the one currently stored in the vault below. Tsk, this is really a heinous villain..."

Douglas shook his head unhurriedly amid the increasingly twisted and ferocious expressions of the Gringotts Goblin Council of Elders.

"Oh, I know you have a lot to say now, but don't rush to refute me first. Listen patiently to me as I tell the rest of the story before asking questions. Peter Pettigrew is an extremely terrible conspirator, mortgage Hogg Watts was just the first step in his revenge against the magical world. Not long ago, he also did something even worse."

"This morning, the Aurors from the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic found the registration information of the store 'American Magical Federal Reserve System' in Knockturn Alley. The legal person's signature at the end of the contract is Peter Pettigrew. Of course, such a huge Peter Pettigrew alone would definitely not be able to pull off this scam... The worst part is that during this period, more than one wizard happened to see the goblins in Knockturn Alley..."

Having said this, Douglas glanced meaningfully at Chief Elder Gloin, who was standing at the front, and shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Of course, these goblins have all been secretly executed by Gringotts - it's just that I guess in the eyes of human wizards, most elves look similar, right? Sorry, I've never been good at hiding my whereabouts."

"This simple and inferior method of framing people is full of mistakes..."

Gloin gritted his teeth and sneered, staring at Douglas as if he saw the goblin clearly for the first time.

"Simple, but extremely effective, Your Excellency Elder."

Douglas replied calmly, pointing to the spacious and bright marble hall.

"What does Gringotts Wizarding Bank represent in the wizarding world? Gold Galleons and goblins. In the eyes of wizards, we goblins symbolize financial activities themselves. This kind of financial scam involves all wizards. Even if there is no evidence, goblins and ancient wizards The Ling Pavilion is also the primary target of suspicion. Not to mention, the wizard has been given an impeccable reason."

After a slight pause, Douglas raised his head and looked at the group of elves in front of him who represented the past will of Gringotts. He sighed, without any happy expression on his face, and continued in a heavy and clear tone.

"Under the influence of Veritaserum, Peter Pettigrew should have confessed to all his crimes, which not only betrayed his friends, defected to the dark forces, mortgaged Hogwarts, and created financial scams... but also included proposing Gringotts. Forged mortgage contracts were used to frame ordinary Hogwarts students, and there was support from goblins behind this scam... All the evidence, testimony, and witnesses all pointed to the same result, and all the judges still All will be stakeholders.”

Slowly, despair gradually appeared on the faces of the goblin elders and executives.

But Douglas couldn't help but sigh again, and said the final conclusion in a calm tone.

"There is no doubt that if all the charges are pinned against Gringotts, then the next time the goblins face will not be an orderly run... Wizards have never believed in goblins. Over the years, we have had conflicts with wizards. There have been more than one or two wars, but if it breaks out this time, it will probably be the last..."

The middle-aged goblin's voice didn't have too many emotional fluctuations from beginning to end. It seemed as if he was completely out of the situation, telling such a story calmly from the perspective of a bystander.

In fact, that's the only thing it can do now.

This was the most ridiculous, roughest, and most terrifying negotiation it had ever experienced in so many years—if this meeting with Gringotts could be considered a previous negotiation. Almost all the trump cards are openly displayed in front of the opponent, including future methods and some previous conspiracies and designs.

However, even if the goblins now know all this, clearly understand every link and every step of the trap set by Elena, and know what is about to happen in the future, there is nothing that can stop the wave from coming. .

As the helmsman of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, and as the core leadership of the goblins, the group of goblins present may still be bound by the current era in their vision and thinking, but when Douglas gradually stripped everything away , after everything was stacked in front of them, they understood the ending they were about to face almost instantly.

This is not something with room for buffering such as huge losses, internal divisions, or factional changes. This is a disaster that hangs over their heads like the sword of Damocles and is about to fall.

Wizards never believed in goblins...

To exterminate goblins, all the wizard needs is a reason...

Colluding with the dark forces, creating panic, and defrauding most of the magic world's wealth...

Seemingly independent events and information are combined together...

Douglas stood up and slowly walked between the counters in the hall, his fingers quietly stroking the mottled wooden counters that were probably older than him, waiting for the other goblins to digest what they had just said.

After a while, the middle-aged goblin walked up to the elders and said in a heavy tone.

"At this time, the truth is no longer the most important thing. The number of wizards in the wizarding world who have ill intentions towards goblins and Gringotts definitely far exceeds those who are close to us. Before I arrive at Gringotts, there will be a public trial It has already started, and all the contents will spread throughout the wizarding world very quickly, and there will be no room for recovery."

"It's just that... it would not be a good thing if angry wizards were allowed to destroy Gringotts. Whether it is as a currency issuance end or a circulation channel, banks still have to exist, completely shattering the reconstruction. The financial markets in the wizarding world will be in chaos for a long time... For a civilization, this is a very heavy price."

"So according to the wishes of the eldest lady, I still hope to resolve all these matters before everything becomes out of control."

Douglas paused, looked at the goblins around him and nodded.

"As you all know, time is indeed very tight, but this is also to help Gringotts make a decision as soon as possible. In order to deal with this difficulty, after taking over Gringotts, many of the next plans still require everyone present. Cooperate together, otherwise the final result will not change much..."

"Of course, the most important thing is the sincerity of Gringotts and our fairies. This is what the eldest lady values ​​most."

"I remember at the beginning, I said it once, and then reminded it again, so now is the third and final reminder - this is not a business negotiation, there is no room for bargaining. Leave it to Gringotts Time is running out for the Wizards Bank. Once the wave of angry wizards begins to take shape, even two Albus Dumbledores may not be able to control what happens next."

"And the wisest choice is not to ask too many questions why, and to comply with the next arrangements of the eldest lady as soon as possible, so that all processes can be smooth and all orders will not be delayed or neglected. After all, for wizards, If Gringotts doesn't cooperate, they have an easier way... although it will be a lot of trouble later."

Douglas let out a sigh of relief and glanced across the faces of each goblin.

The above content is the task assigned to him by Elena Kaslana this week. He has finished all the words. Now all he can do is to hope that everything will go according to the best outcome. conduct.

As Tianming's chief financial officer, he only got one promise.

When everything became chaotic, the Destiny Group promised to protect a small number of Gringotts goblins. As the last fire of the goblins, they could safely escape the wrath of wizards as lifelong employees of the Destiny Group.

"So... you are looking for a queen for the goblins and Gringotts...?"

"From a more optimistic perspective, that's pretty much it."

Douglas nodded and looked around at the wizards standing outside the "goblin group".

"This is a huge force that you can't imagine. Although it may be subject to a lot of control and interference in the future, on the bright side, at least Gringotts has chosen a more promising force than the Ministry of Magic... After the interests are tied up, even the Minister of Magic can no longer threaten Gringotts... We have all lost so completely, and their stupid and incompetent bureaucrats will only be more pitiful if they stretch their claws randomly..."

Chief Elder Gloin looked at Douglas and the wizards around him with trembling eyes. He opened his mouth and said nothing, but the old goblin's eyes almost answered all Douglas's questions.

Looking at the old goblin who had been in charge of Gringotts Wizarding Bank for nearly two hundred years, Douglas murmured.

"Anyway, I would be very happy if you could understand all this..."

"So……"

After a moment of silence, Elder Groin looked at the former Gringotts Venture Capital Director who was much younger and more energetic than him, and asked in a deep voice, as if every word was exhausted. road.

"Gringotts, the entire Gringotts Wizarding Bank, including so many goblins were entrusted to Elena Kaslana... Can she protect all the gold and goblins, and defeat those traitors... "
