Chapter 297: Everyone is equal, humanity comes first
"Emotional magic?"
When he was about to walk out of the underground passage, Adam finally found the source of the vague sense of familiarity.
Although he had never seen this kind of energy, Adam was very familiar with the breath of emotional magic brought by this energy. Both the Love Card and the Hate Card had been studied by him for quite a while before they were condensed, and this research has not really ended until now.
"This power... has a part of hate, but no love, and the nature of the performance is so manic and disordered... Is it a magic mixed with multiple negative emotions?"
Adam vaguely captured the true face of this energy.
At this time, Adam walked to the end of the underground passage, and he dispersed the energy casually and continued to study it later.
The current priority is still the group of fairies in front of him... and the vault.
Let's get rid of these fairies first-
"Wait a minute! We surrender!"
Adam just raised his hand and heard such a sharp shout from a distance. The half-drawn magic circle stagnated, and Adam's waist was almost sprained.
"What did you say?"
"We are willing to surrender, Mr. Wizard, please don't harm our lives."
A goblin whose voice sounded relatively young... but whose appearance seemed to be no different in age from the other goblins said, while huddling and poking his head out of the ruins caused by a rock fracture:
"You can take all these vaults away..."
There was such a big noise just now, but now there is no explosion at all, and the other party can walk here from the underground passage openly. It seems obvious what the result will be after the old goblin takes people to get the secret weapon.
In this case, the young goblin decisively chose to sacrifice the treasure to save himself.
After all, money can be earned again if it is lost, but life is really lost if it is lost. Besides, he is a young man, and the money here is not his share.
Under the influence of the young goblin, many goblins chose to give up the vaults they were responsible for, and they were relieved after knowing that Adam came from the Ministry of Magic.
In response, Adam just smiled slightly and ordered the Aurors around him:
"Tie them all back."
"What?!"
A goblin couldn't help but exclaimed.
Aren't you from the Ministry of Magic? How can you just tie them up? Haven't they handed over the treasures that the Ministry of Magic wanted?
"If you had honestly handed over the stolen money involved in the case as required before, we would not have done anything more."
An Auror controlled the rope to tie up the goblins one by one, and couldn't help saying:
"But now you not only resist the Ministry of Magic's law enforcement, but also secretly hide high-powered lethal weapons. Do you still want to understand this matter so easily? Just go to Azkaban!"
"What? Go to Azkaban?! No! You can't do this!"
The goblin couldn't help but jump up and down, looking at the tied-up fellows around him:
"This is against the rules! Gringotts will not accept such unreasonable requests from you!"
Gringotts is a global financial institution. Except for a few countries, it can be said that as long as a country has the Ministry of Magic, it will have Gringotts. Its business involves various aspects such as identification, pawning, pledge, storage, transportation, magic currency exchange, Muggle currency exchange, etc.
Thinking of this, Adam also had some understanding of why goblins could hide such powerful weapons and equipment. Perhaps these things were not made secretly by them, but had existed for a long time.
Relying on these things, wizards could not gain much advantage in combat power against goblins, and might even suffer a great loss. Otherwise, why would wizards hand over such an important industry to goblins?
As for why wizards did not record this, it was probably because they were embarrassed. The description of goblin rebellion in the history of magic obviously has many parts of the Spring and Autumn style.
Hearing the goblin shouting like this, although most people did not care, a few Aurors showed some worried looks.
They were Aurors who had worked in the Ministry of Magic before, not the newcomers who followed Eugene. They knew the specialness of goblins and could not treat them as ordinary magical animals with the same intelligence as humans.
Adam noticed the change in the mentality of these people and said in his heart:
Maybe it was like this before, but from now on, such days will never come back.
Adam glanced at the goblin, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly:
"Not in accordance with the rules? The Ministry of Magic's actions are in accordance with the New Wizarding Law. I don't know what rules you are talking about? This is the country we rule, and there are and only rules made by us."
Strictly speaking, Adam's speech at this moment is not so glorious. If you trace it back to the bottom, it even has a bit of speciesism. It shouldn't be said from the standpoint of the Ministry of Magic, but Adam still said it.
The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic around him not only didn't think there was anything wrong, but they also felt a sense of pride.
The reason is very simple, because although the Ministry of Magic didn't say this before, it did it this way. Ecological niches are something that can never be obtained by methods other than the law of the jungle.
Whether it is the Muggles in the surface world or the wizards in the inner world, humans are the creatures with the highest ecological niche on this planet. The main reason is only one-humans are strong enough.
So strong that they can constantly squeeze the living space of other creatures, open up a stable living environment, and have the capital to make human cubs dare to cry loudly when they are extremely fragile at birth.
Except for this, everything else is just a detail.
The goblin heard Adam's words and obviously understood some of Adam's hidden meaning. He couldn't help but look at him in horror:
"You, you will provoke a war between wizards and goblins by doing this!"
"Provoke a war? I'm just stating the facts and doing what I should do. If the goblins want to use this to start a war, then go ahead."
Adam responded with a calm smile:
"But I want to remind you: goblins can choose to start a war, but after the war starts, the right to end the war is no longer in the hands of the goblins."
Gringotts, or the goblins, had better be more sensible. Even if they want to go to war with wizards, they should bet on both sides and choose to obey the rules of wizards by dividing a part of their opposition to the war.
Otherwise, the wizarding world may completely lose a race called goblins, and then have a race like house elves that has served wizards for generations.
Whether it is now or in the near future when the nine squares are divided for magical animals, Adam's position is consistent-everyone is equal, and humans are supreme.
To give a simple example, humans raising magical animals may be divided into various situations such as normal operation, illegal breeding, and possible harm to society, but if magical animals dare to raise humans, there is only one result, which is death.
On this planet, human rights are greater than the rights of all other creatures!
The reason is that the ecological niche of humans now was determined by our ancestors in the naked fighting in the past. Now any step back in this regard is a blasphemy against the blood and tears of our ancestors.
"Let it go."
Adam glanced at the memory of the goblin. This guy basically didn't know any secrets, so he simply asked the Auror to untie the restraints on him:
"Go and notify Gringotts in other places and tell them what happened here. If they accept our rules, come to accept the hearing, and then they may be able to rebuild Gringotts here. If they don't accept it, we will directly judge Gringotts and reserve the right to take further measures."
Adam took a last look at the goblin, then disappeared from the spot, leaving only his last words:
"As for starting a war, it's up to you. I'm waiting for your answer."
