The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 458: Gringotts Heist (1)

Gringotts has two doors.

On the second silver door inside was engraved a phrase that had appeared since Gringotts was founded.

This phrase was specially written by goblins in a language familiar to wizards to curse and warn those who have any evil thoughts about the wealth in Gringotts.

When Gringotts was founded, it was just when the goblin war failed. The wizards who had been bullied by them regarded them as enemies, and the money was touching, so countless wizards came to challenge this one. phrase.

However, according to the clear record of the history of magic, they all failed.

The reason for this is simple.

Gringotts is part of the truce between wizards and goblins.

To challenge Gringotts is to challenge the Ministry of Magic!

Today, people have forgotten the blood that was once stained on this phrase, and even just regard it as some ordinary patterns, and they are not even interested in taking a look at it.

Nowadays, only those young Muggle wizards who are new to the wizarding world will show a little interest in the phrase above the silver door of Gringotts.

But at this moment, Link was staring at this phrase fiercely, even though many people passing by around cast strange glances, he was still unmoved.

Because he knew that although the phrase on the silver door seemed to be ignored by no one.

But that doesn't mean the phrase is useless.

In fact, on the contrary, this phrase has long been engraved in the hearts of every wizard!

Along with the thought that 'no one can steal a single Knut from a Gringotts vault'!

There's nothing wrong with that in itself.

It is what every customer longs for a bank to have such a high level of security.

But the problem is that the owner of Gringotts is a goblin.

The predecessors who signed the armistice agreement with the goblins thousands of years ago may think that it is not a big deal because of the limitations of the times.

After all, the whole world at that time could be described as poor and white.

There is no such thing as finance at all, even the most basic concepts, let alone making profits from it.

The predecessors at that time might even think that Gringotts was just an existence that simply served wizards, and goblins, like house elves, were slaves working for wizards.

But looking at it now, any adult Muggle who has gone through the nine-year compulsory education can clearly see the huge mistakes made here.

How can the financial power of a country, or even a race, be placed in the hands of a foreign race?

This is something Link can't bear at all!

The reason why he chose to seize the Horcrux Gold Cup by invading Gringotts was not only because of the situation, but also because he wanted to change everything.

He's going to smash that phrase engraved in every wizard's heart!

"call--"

Taking a deep breath, Link gave Emily a positive look, and the two held hands and entered the hall.

The Gringotts Marble Hall is almost as tall and spacious as the Ministry of Magic.

At the same time, they have another thing in common, that is, it is crowded with people almost all the time.

There seemed to be more people here than the Ministry of Magic today.

After all, tonight is Christmas Eve, and everyone needs to withdraw some Galleons for purchases.

Countless people crowded into the hall.

At the same time, there were also countless people leaving with gold gallons in their pockets, extremely vigilant.

On both sides of the crowd, there was a long line of counters. There were about a hundred goblins sitting on high stools behind the counters, weighing coins with copper balances, examining gems with eyepieces, or keeping accounts and receiving guests.

Further down the hall are countless doors.

Many goblins are guiding the reserved guests to their different underground vaults.

A smile slowly rose on the faces of Link and Emily.

Because those so-called reservation guests are actually all hunters and old saints pretending to be.

As early as when Link arrived at Diagon Alley, these people had already used Apparition to appear in every corner of Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, and entered the underground of Gringotts in batches.

When Link also arrives at the predetermined location and sends out a signal, these people will simultaneously kill the goblin who led the way.

Of course, the hunters and the old saints are not all in place yet, and Link also needs to pick up the other two members of the operation.

Link and Emily smiled at each other, turned around and walked towards a mahogany door on the side.

"Mr. Norton and Miss Irene, please?"

Before Link and Emily approached, the goblin guard in a scarlet uniform in front of the wooden door greeted them and said.

Link and Emily nodded, and handed out a permission letter engraved with Gringotts' private reception room.

The goblin guard checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he immediately burst into an extremely attentive smile.

"The two gentlemen inside have been waiting for a long time. I wish you a pleasant morning."

While talking, the goblin opened the wooden door for Link and Emily.

The most important thing is that he has a high professionalism, and he never glanced at the living room from the beginning to the end.

Link nodded in satisfaction, popped out a gold Galleon, and walked into the room quickly, ignoring the happy elf.

Snapped--

The door was carefully closed by the goblin.

In the reception room, Newland and Sceffen, who had also been transformed with compound decoction, stood up from the sofa and saluted Link and Emily.

"Sit down."

Link greeted with a smile, and he and Emily sat in the main seat specially reserved by the two of them, "In about half an hour, you two will enter the underground vault with us, and the official start Today's task. Before that, everyone just relax."

As soon as this remark came out, Newland sat down happily, but compared with before, his sitting posture was extraordinarily respectful, and he hardly dared to sit down.

But Sceffen didn't even sit down at all, and his brows were furrowed even more tightly.

Seeing his appearance, Link raised his eyes slightly, and said expressionlessly:

"What's the matter, Sceffen?"

Sceffen's expression gradually became firm, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Your Excellency Link Foley, although I don't know exactly what you want to do, but until now, I can generally guess. I... I don't think that's good! Gringotts is right! It is so important to the entire wizarding community! We cannot do that for our own self-interest, this... this is against my belief!"

Speaking of this, Scott paused, clenched his fists and said, "What I want to join is an army of justice who is dedicated to eradicating Voldemort and the Death Eaters, not a terrorist organization or a group of bandits!

You don't need to persuade me with the words that our current behavior is to better realize our ideals.

A great man once said that the means represent the justice in the making and the ideal in the realization, and man cannot achieve the goal of justice through unjust means, because the means are the seeds and the ends are the trees.

If you insist on doing that, then please allow me to quit the D.A. Army! "

After saying that, Sceffen put the special D.A. gold coin on the coffee table.

Seeing this scene, Newland's eyelids twitched, and the faces of Emily and Link in the main seat were also unkind.

Newland lowered his head a little, but he kept glancing at Sceffen from the corner of his eye.

It was not a day or two for him to deal with Sceffen.

Although Sceffen usually behaved so righteously, in all honesty, Newland never thought that Sceffen would be such a good person with pure faith in justice.

After all, a purely good person would not be so dirty in a fight.

But if this is the case, why did Sceffen say such things to Link today?

It is impossible for him not to know how powerful the current D.A. Army, to be precise, is in the hands of Link Foley.

It is wishful thinking to want to get out of the body when you know the secrets of the D.A. Army!

For a while, Newland actually felt that he couldn't understand Sceffen.

After a brief silence, Link finally spoke to Sceffen:

"Let's take a look first. If you still insist on quitting after today, then...we'll discuss it later."

As soon as this remark came out, Sceffen's body visibly froze.

This is not only because of the murderous intent hidden in Link's words, but also because the basilisk named Arkham has emerged from Link's cuff and is leaning on his body at this moment, looking at him with a prey-like gaze.

"I... I see."

Sceffen said and sat back in his seat.

It wasn't until now that he realized that his back was drenched in cold sweat.

Of course he also knew how dangerous he was just now.

It's just that he doesn't regret it.

Faith is the source of his strength, and he cannot abandon it because of temporary interests!

What he didn't know was that his thoughts at the moment had been completely penetrated by Link, who possessed Legilimency chanting.

This made Link feel a little disappointed in Sceffen.

He originally thought that Sceffen's potential was higher than Newland's, or at least he could control it better.

But at the moment it seems very naive.

His famous quote about Martin Luther King does make sense.

But don't forget, Martin Luther King was a lawyer before!

That famous quote may be very appropriate when used in law and procedural justice, but it is not advisable to apply it mechanically!

If I have to say, what Link and the others are doing now is not justice in itself.

Thinking of this, Link closed his eyes, and Arkham might have felt the irritability and disappointment in his heart. It slowly climbed off Link and came to Sceffen, his eyes fixed on Scott Fern's body.

At this distance, it only takes 1 second to pounce and bite the opponent's neck.

Afterwards, its poison enough to kill the Horcrux will cause the opponent to die instantly!

Such a move made the atmosphere in the entire living room a little chilly.

But at this moment, Newland coughed lightly.

Arkham turned his head in an instant.

Link, who closed his eyes and meditated, also opened his eyes and stared at Newland.

Newland couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

For a moment, he was even surprised to find that Link's eyes were somewhat similar to Arkham's.

But when things came to an end, it was too late to back down, he took a deep breath, got up and said:

"Your Excellency Link Foley, I have been paying attention to the movements of Harry Potter and others during my stay in school, but just two days ago, some accidents occurred on their side."

Link didn't speak, but nodded to signal the other party to continue.

At the same time, Arkham had already climbed to Newland's feet, and was supporting himself, as if he was thinking about whether to climb up.

Newland turned a blind eye to this and continued:

"Professor Hagrid came back with injuries all over his body. Not only that, but... he also brought a giant back and raised him in the Forbidden Forest."

It was said that not only Link and Emily, but even Sceffen looked up at Newland.

Sceffen also had contact with giants.

So he knew quite well what terrible power the giant possessed.

If a giant is really brought into the Forbidden Forest, not only will the ecological balance of the Forbidden Forest be destroyed, even Hogwarts will be threatened!

"What exactly is going on!?"

Sceffen questioned with red eyes.

However, Newland ignored him at all, and just looked at Link questioningly.

In his opinion, there is a high probability that Sceffen will part ways with them after today. How could Sceffen know such important information.

It wasn't until he got Link's approval that Newland slowly told all the things he had found out.

It even included the fact that Umbridge brought someone to the door as soon as Hagrid came back, and the communication between the two was not pleasant.

After all was said, Sceffen had already returned to his seat.

And Newland lowered his head obediently.

At this moment, Arkham has climbed back on Link, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he still had some expectations in his heart.

It is naturally impossible for him to join Umbridge, but he doesn't mind getting more power from Umbridge, which will be very beneficial to him.

Although he didn't say it clearly in the report this time, he was not lacking in temptation.

If Link really agrees with what he did with Hagrid and the giant, then things will become easier...

Time passed bit by bit, but Link never spoke.

When Newland waited until his heart was about to burn, he saw Emily suddenly holding Link's hand and saying:

"Link, it's almost time."

"Really?" Link said as if waking up from a slight nap, "Then let's start today's action first."

As he spoke, he looked at Newland and said, "You did a good job. As for the rest, we'll talk about it later."

After saying that, Link and Emily walked out the door without looking back.

Newland and Sceffen didn't care about anything else at the moment, and hurriedly got up and followed.

...

at the same time,

Inside the Great Hall of Gringotts.

Little Batty, who was covered in a black robe, was standing in front of the counter with a face full of grief and indignation.

The counters at Gringotts are all set up very high, and wizards who come to handle business must look up to the goblins hiding behind the counters.

It's hard to say that it's not the bad taste of goblins.

After all, under normal circumstances, goblins look up to wizards.

But that's not why Barty Jr. is so angry.

As a child who grew up in a wizarding family, the phrases on the silver gate of Gringotts and Gringott's attitude have long been engraved deep in his mind, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.

What really pissed him off was...
