Chapter 222 310 Conversation with Dumbledore

The same is true for the treasury. Although there are no problems with Gringotts now, the heads of many families know that once the goblins want to start another goblin war, the gold galleons and treasures stored in Gringotts will be lost. Magic props will become their resources,

Only the hidden vaults of Gringotts' shareholder families at the bottom are exceptions, because those are vaults that even the goblins of Gringotts are not qualified to open.

Although there are corresponding hidden dangers in letting goblins control the economy and banks of the magic world, this is also something that the people in power in the magic world have no other solution to.

During the goblin rebellion back then, although all records in the history books of the magical world stated that the wizards were victorious, the actual situation was indeed far different.

The occurrence of the goblin rebellion led to the elf clan, which had been eyeing the wizards, to launch an attack. At that time, the top power in the wizarding world, that is, the legendary wizards in the Council of Elders, all went to fight against the more powerful elf clan.

The only ones who fought against the goblins were the great wizards in the magical world. Therefore, the battle was actually very fierce. There were not even three great wizards left out of ten. Although the legendary wizards completely drove the elves into the forests of America and Africa. , but unable to fight,

At that time, in the war with the goblins, the wizards had the upper hand. The goblins also realized that the legendary wizards had not yet appeared, so they already wanted to quit.

To put it simply, neither side wants to fight. However, unlike wizards, the goblins’ desire for a truce is shallower.

They demand control of the wizarding world's economy and the establishment of a bank they control, otherwise they would rather die in battle.

The managers of the magical world, including the Council of Elders, knew very well that if the fight continued, it might lead to the collapse of the entire magical world. You know, at that time, the situation of wizards was not good, and the war with Muggles was also going on. Happening on a small scale, especially the church's witch-killing operation, the scope of activities in the magic world has shrunk and shrunk.

In the end, the only option was to comply with the goblins' demands. However, it was necessary to let the many families that led the magic world at that time own shares in the goblin bank and have a treasury that was not controlled by the goblins.

Then came the establishment of Gringotts. According to the different places where different families were located, Gringotts branches were established and underground vaults were established.

Finny knows these things very well, and it is precisely because he knows that he understands how difficult it is to take a magic item from a vault in Gringotts that does not belong to him.

Because this is not only challenging the authority of Gringotts, but also provoking the fragile nerves of the goblins. Especially not long ago, a vault theft occurred in Gringotts in the UK. Although, the mysterious man was very unlucky and had to The vault they went to had been emptied that morning, but this also made the goblins' already fragile spirits even more nervous.

Therefore, not to mention the difficulty of breaking into Gringotts and snatching Hufflepuff's gold cup from Lestrange's vault,

As long as Finny tries to break into Gringotts, it will probably lead to the second goblin judgment.

You know, hundreds of years later, the relationship between wizards and elves is also very tense, and there are vampires around the corner. Once the goblin rebellion really occurs, the magical world will inevitably be exposed to the eyes of the Muggle world. By then, the first Three world wars are bound to break out.

This is what Feeney doesn't want to happen. You know, he has now determined his goal, which is to become the strongest wizard, and then rely on his own power to find a way to return to the original world in the entire world, so that Go back to your relatives and friends.

As for the friends here, speaking of it, the only ones who can be regarded as Finny's friends now are George, the twins Fred, Li Jordan, the foul-mouthed black man, and Pandora and Nico, two seniors.

If you look more carefully, Harry, Ron, Neville, and Hagrid can be regarded as half-friends. They are friends, but they are not friends like twins who share a common secret.

In Feeney's opinion, by the time he became the strongest wizard, found the clues to go home, and could really go home, he and the twins must have spent many years together, perhaps a normal life. Maybe,

In that way, his departure can actually be regarded as the death of a normal person, which is understandable.

Because he knew these things, Finny knew that he couldn't go to Gringotts to grab the gold cup, at least not by himself.

And it just so happened that he now had someone he could use, Dumbledore.

Don't forget, Hufflepuff's golden cup is also a Horcrux.

Normally, when Finny destroyed the Resurrection Stone Ring Horcrux, the mysterious man would have felt it. However, you must know that he is still a ghost, and his soul will always feel severe discomfort. So far, he has not felt it. Reacting and taking away the Malfoy's Horcruxes meant that he didn't know yet. Finny and Dumbledore had almost disposed of all the Horcruxes.

Originally, in Feeney's plan, the Gold Cup should be handed over to Dumbledore the year after tomorrow in exchange for some other conditions. However, it seems now that the Gold Cup can be exchanged for the Gold Cup itself, and the time for handing over the Gold Cup must be advanced. Until now,

If I had known this, Ravenclaw's crown would not have been submitted this year.

Thinking like this, Finny also understood that this was not the time to open the Hufflepuff heritage treasure.

"Puff, take me back to Hogwarts. By the way, you have to keep a few people here. I will come here again."

Finny opened his mouth to give instructions to Puff, and at the same time told the other house elves,

Under the leadership of Puff, he returned to Hogwarts,

And went directly to Dumbledore,

Regarding this matter, although he knew that he could not open the treasure now, he was a little impatient and didn't want to wait any longer.

"Fini? What do you want from me?"

Dumbledore was also very confused when he saw Finny coming to his office. You know, since the last time Finny explored the secret of the Deathly Hallows in his office, he had almost no interaction with him.

Judging from the situation in the past two years, Feeney is not the kind of person who will come to his office when nothing happens. Moreover, the transaction between him and Feeney has been completed this year, and the next transaction will not be until next year.

Therefore, he really didn't know the reason for Feeney's arrival now.

Some people may say that Dumbledore is a master of Legilimency and can completely read the thoughts in Finny's mind and understand his purpose.

Dumbledore is indeed a master of Legilimency, but he is also an educator, a professor, a principal, and the greatest white wizard.

The existence of these titles did not make Dumbledore stronger, but instead suppressed some of his methods and character. At least he needed to act in accordance with these titles, because he was the spiritual leader of the magical world at this time. If If even he becomes a dark wizard, the magic world will be really ruined.

Therefore, it is fundamentally unreasonable to use Legilimency on students at will, and Dumbledore would not do it with complete disrespect for his students.

Feeney sat down on the chair opposite Dumbledore's desk with ease, teasing Fawkes who was standing beside him, and said,

"I plan to tell you about the next Horcrux now."

Dumbledore was puzzled;

"Why? You know, one thing a year is in your best interest. I don't think you'd compromise your own interests just to get rid of Tom,"

Feeney shrugged.

"Of course, I am a very selfish person,"

He stopped teasing Fawkes, who was a little hairy, put his left leg on his right leg, leaned against the back of the chair and looked at Dumbledore and said,

"This Horcrux is Hufflepuff's golden cup, and I need to use the golden cup to do something, so I can only tell you about it in advance. After you get it, I can retain the characteristics of the golden cup. Next, destroy the Horcrux, and then use the golden cup to do my own thing."

Hearing this, Dumbledore also showed an interested expression, stood up and walked back and forth in the office,

After a moment, he stopped, turned to look at Feeney sitting on the chair and asked,

"Have you found the Hufflepuff heritage? Do you need a gold cup to open it?"

Finny was stunned, looked at Dumbledore in surprise, and asked,

"How did you guess that?"

Dumbledore sat back in his seat, stared at Finny and explained,

"I know that you also received the inheritance of Ravenclaw. This is what you told me, isn't it?"

Feeney nodded,

"Yes, that's what I told you. It was also because of this that you came to see Senior Nico at me last year."

Dumbledore continued,

"Last year, the matter between you and the vampires was not a secret matter in the magic world. On the contrary, the vampire clan's attack on you was a big deal. Almost the entire magic world heard about it, and naturally I did too,"

"The transformation spell you cast directly on the earth element is very similar to a kind of Gryffindor magic in the records, except that the product you transformed is more spiritual. So, I think you got it last year. Although I am not very sure about this, after I learned that the Weasley twins and their roommate Li Jordan also possessed extremely good transfiguration skills overnight, I It’s certain that you have indeed found Gryffindor’s heritage, but you’re just not sure where his heritage is.”

Feeney took out the soul stone he made from his arms, smiled at Dumbledore and said,

"The inheritance of Gryffindor is under the Black Lake. However, it was a one-time thing. The inheritance was taken away by the four of us. Even the parts that the three of them mastered were taught to them by me."

"As for that magic, it's the energy-shaping magic I created myself, and I cast it with the help of this thing."

Dumbledore picked up the soul stone with interest.

"Magic stone? No, this is not a magic stone. Although it is similar in essence, the effect is completely different. The production method is similar. Did you improve it yourself?"

Feeney nodded and admitted this. Dumbledore knew that he had the heritage of Ravenclaw, and the heritage of Ravenclaw represented the knowledge in ancient runes, ancient magic, and refining techniques. An achievement beyond ordinary people.

After receiving the inheritance of Nico Flamel's magic stone, it was natural to improve a new magic stone based on Ravenclaw's inheritance.

"Well, it was developed based on the magic left by Gryffindor to give intelligence to objects, and the experimental records Nico gave me when he made the magic stone. It is a powerful magic used to combine with transfiguration, but It requires a lot of magic power,"

Dumbledore smiled and nodded, praising,

"That's a very good idea. It seems you are planning to use it to make a wand?"

Feeney was stunned.

"Did you guess it again?"

Dumbledore said,

"Ravenclaw's inheritance must have wand-making technology. Your soul stone, well, that's the name, right? The shape of your soul stone has also been polished by you, and it looks like a wand. tail decoration,"

Feeney smiled and said,

"It's so obvious. You haven't said yet how you came up with the idea that I found the Hufflepuff heritage."

Dumbledore smiled and said,

"This is your third year since you entered Hogwarts. In the first two years, you received the founder's inheritance. Although there are some coincidences, it can also be seen that you chose them deliberately, and , as I said before, you told me next year that Hufflepuff’s Golden Cup, a Horcrux, would be the most beneficial to you, but you told me now, and you also said that you need to use the Golden Cup. , then it must be something you care about that requires the use of the Golden Cup,"

"I know very well that the magic on Hufflepuff's golden cup can only summon food. Therefore, you don't need it because of this magical effect. Then, the reason why you need it must be its existence itself, that is, and Hufflepuff is concerned."

Hearing this, Feeney had no choice but to clap her hands and make friends.

"Professor, you are indeed the greatest white wizard. You were able to become Grindelwald's companion back then,"

Dumbledore smiled and said,

"So it's really the inheritance of Hufflepuff. Well, I won't ask you where the inheritance is. I think you also know what will happen if the news of the existence of the founder's inheritance is revealed. This is your opportunity. I won't stop you from looking for it, but, Feeney, I hope you can promise me not to tell these things. Once the founder's inheritance is really spread, the magic world will usher in a new era. "

Feeney nodded,

"I know that the meaning represented by the founder is too heavy. No one can remain true to his original intention and not be attracted by such interests. I'm like Professor, if you hadn't become a legendary wizard and blazed your own path, You’ll be tempted too.”
