Kong Nuo and Lucius are both major customers of Gringotts. When they appeared here together, the attitude of those goblins was like a wasp whose hive was attacked.
The goblins were busy, and soon a goblin in a welcome suit came over and bowed ninety degrees to the two of them.
"Welcome Mr. Malfoy! Welcome Mr. Kong! You are here at Gringotts, what can I do to help you?"
The goblins are very short, which is their advantage. When they bowed at ninety degrees, their long noses directly poked the ground, showing sincerity, and at the same time covering up their disdainful expressions.
Lucius glanced at the bowing goblin out of the corner of his eye, took a piece of parchment from his pocket, and handed it to the reception goblin.
"Look! This is a letter from Bellatrix Lestrange. I want to take ten items from the Lestrange family vault."
The reception goblin looked up as if he had just swallowed a fly.
He accepted the note Lucius handed over with a bitter face, and scanned the writing on it over and over again, with a suspicious expression on his face.
Lucius looked a little impatient, "What's the problem? Could it be that you can't understand the writing on it? Or... as Gringotts and I, I still need to accept your doubts?"
The reception goblin straightened up and put on a frightened look, but the impatience and distrust in his eyes were too obvious.
He said in an extremely sharp and piercing voice: "Of course not! Of course not! Mr. Malfoy! I'm just curious! Why did you enter Lestrange's vault."
"Do I need to explain to you?" Lucius raised his head slightly, and glanced at the reception goblin from the corner of his eye. "If you don't want to lead the way, I can find some goblins who are willing to lead the way."
The reception goblin shivered, bowed ninety degrees again, and said, "Then please wait a moment! I need to get the clinker, Lestrange's vault needs it."
Seeing the goblin leaving, Kong Nuo asked, "Speaking of which, why do you let the goblin manage the treasury?"
Lucius let out a long breath, "Because wizards are not very good at these, and because of magic, wizards don't trust other wizards' currencies."
Kong Nuo asked, "Afraid of fakes?"
Lucius nodded and said: "Yes, that's why the goblins took over the economic system... They have always been like this, even if it is our deposit, they will instinctively covet it."
"They will feel that the stored wealth only belongs to the person concerned, and they will instinctively resist other members of the family, they are just a bunch of despicable and shameless bastards!"
"If you communicate in a friendly voice, they will always be sloppy. Only when their attitude becomes tough, they will compromise and follow your orders."
"It sounds like... these goblins are really cheap. If you don't give them a good face, they will be willing to do things." Kong Nuo touched his chin and said.
"That's it!" Lucius snorted angrily, "I know what they're thinking!"
"The Lestrange family is now in decline. Bella and the others will be sentenced to life imprisonment and will be imprisoned until death."
"There is only one patriarch of the Lestrange family who is still outside, but he is already very old."
"Based on this situation, when the old patriarch passes away and Bella and the others also die of old age in Azkaban, all the remaining wealth will belong to Gringotts!"
Kong Nuo raised his eyebrows, "Can they be so shameless?"
"Of course!" Lucius sneered, "Gringotts has always had such calculations! Otherwise, why was that goblin hesitant just now?"
"Because in their view, this is not me taking something from the Lestrange vault, but I am robbing Gringotts!"
"Speaking of which, the relationship between Gringotts and the Ministry of Magic should not be very good, right?" Connor asked.
Lucius nodded and said, "It's really not good. In order to consolidate their economic position in the magic world, they launched many goblin rebellions, so the Ministry of Magic also hates them."
While Kong Nuo and the others were chatting, the reception goblin ran towards them quickly. There was a small leather bag on the goblin's waist, and there was a faint sound of metal clashing when running.
Gringotts' vaults are all underground, and the most low-level vaults can easily open the vault door with just a key.
When the reception goblin controls the car, it takes Kong Nuo and the others to gallop on the rails.As you go deeper into the ground, the level of the surrounding vaults becomes higher and higher.
Compared with a vault that can only be opened with a key, a more advanced vault requires the hands of a goblin to open.
Goblins have their own magic, and these magics have become the most convenient and safe means of protection.
If the corresponding goblin magic cannot be cast, the thief will be sucked into the vault door and will not be discovered until the next goblin checks the vault.
As for the vault with the highest underground specifications, in addition to being protected by goblin magic, it will also be guarded by XXXXX level dangerous creatures.
After an unknown amount of time, the reception fairy finally controlled the car to slow down and came to a place that looked like an underground palace.
In the dark place at the entrance of the palace, murky grunting sounds could still be heard, as if some unknown creature was entrenched there.
The reception wizard said to Kong Nuo: "No matter what happens next, Mr. Kong, please don't be afraid!"
Kong Nuo waved his hand, "Just lead the way! There is a fire dragon ahead, right? It's not like I haven't seen it before."
Lucius coughed lightly, not letting himself laugh.He had already known some news from his own son that Hogwarts now had a real fire dragon.
Compared to Gringotts' use of violence to bring the dragon to its knees, the dragon at Hogwarts seems to have been completely tamed.
The face of the reception goblin changed, and she paused for a while, before she started to take Kong Nuo and the others deep into the underground palace with her short legs.
This kind of palace-like treasury is made of marble one after another. As they passed by, the walls were lit with torches one after another, looking luxurious and solemn.
As Kong Nuo said, there is a fire dragon entrenched in the hall of the underground palace.
This fire dragon looks huge, like a hill.
It seems that because the fire dragon has not been exposed to sunlight for too long, the scales on its body are sickly gray.
In addition, Huolong had countless fiery knife wounds on his body, as if he had endured countless tortures.
When Kong Nuo and the others appeared, the fire dragon that had been entangled in a deep sleep slowly woke up. Its pink eyes looked at them with no highlights, and several sparks spewed out of its nostrils.
The goblins were busy, and soon a goblin in a welcome suit came over and bowed ninety degrees to the two of them.
"Welcome Mr. Malfoy! Welcome Mr. Kong! You are here at Gringotts, what can I do to help you?"
