Isaac suddenly had the illusion that he was the one in his prime who could absorb all kinds of new knowledge.
And the group of wizard reporters in front of him are old people in their twilight years, and it is difficult for them to accept new things.
The impact of the Secrecy Act on the wizarding world, apart from the shortcomings that can be seen on the surface, the most important thing is that it subtly makes wizards regress.
Even those wizards from Muggle families will be assimilated as long as they come into contact with the wizarding world and acknowledge and abide by the law of secrecy.
Most of the wizards are like drowning people, being dragged continuously by the maelstrom called "Secrecy Law" and sinking into the Middle Ages.
Wizards are no different from Muggles who were once looked down upon. They are equally ignorant and unaware of progress.
They regard things before the secrecy law as the golden rule, even Gringotts, which is full of problems and oppression, can accept it so calmly.
Even if you feel something is wrong, you can use various excuses to evade it without thinking about the problem itself.
The so-called escapism is shameful but useful, maybe this is how to understand it?
These wizard reporters can write all kinds of eye-catching headlines, but they can only go so far.
The eye-catching headlines are their work, and the rotten ones are their thinking.
Thinking of this, Isaac couldn't help but shudder.
He has realized why Grindelwald chose to start a war back then, and why wizards responded.
Grindelwald realized this and wanted to try to save himself.
It's a pity that in a place full of drowning people and whirlpools, those who try to lead the drowning people to the shore will always be dragged down by the drowning people and become drowned.
"Professor Kong...you are so special...this is our last chance!" Isaac whispered, and he had regained his initial calm.
Since it is useless to talk about ideals, then we have to use planb-talking about benefits.
He glanced at the eyes of all wizard reporters, "It seems that you don't realize what you can get, so you also pay attention to our festival with goblins, right?"
"Ahem..." Many wizard reporters lowered their heads, coughing to hide their timidity.
That's what they really think, after all, the so-called currency has nothing to do with them.
It should even be said that once the currency system is changed, their wages may be affected, which is what they are more concerned about.
"Have you ever wondered what goblins can get from us?" Isaac continued, "Or do you just think of them as magical creatures..."
"Like the horse people, living in the forest, weaving clothes with plants and eating berries, living the most primitive and natural life?"
At this moment, the offense and defense were switched, and the questioning position that should have been held by the wizard reporter was easily seized by Isaac.
"It should be like this..." A group of wizard reporters thought hard, they were completely ignorant of the basic necessities of goblins.
It can even be said that in their impression, goblins are the villainous version of house-elves.
Usually, they manage money for them, but when withdrawing money, they will be vicious, and they will make trouble from time to time, launching a goblin rebellion.
Especially in the last 50 years, even goblin rebellions haven't happened, so their feelings towards goblins can't be said to be particularly bad.
Isaac sighed, "Have you ever wondered why Gringotts became the most magnificent building in Diagon Alley?"
"Is it because the goblin is hardworking enough, so relying on his own strength, he alone bears all the costs of building the magic building?"
"Have you ever wondered why there are fire dragons to help guard those large vaults buried deep in the ground?"
"Is it because goblins have a sense of responsibility, so they tame fire dragons without fear of danger, and use them to help wizards guard the treasury?"
A group of wizard reporters were stunned for a moment, they had never considered these issues.
After all, they also need to live. Thinking about how to better find news materials and whether their salary can be raised at the end of the month is their focus.
But they won't say what's in their hearts, they can only simply say: "I haven't paid attention to this problem, is the goblin obstructing it?"
"Of course it is!" Isaac fumbled in his pocket and took out a stack of documents from it.
Lucius on the side saw his eyelids twitch, thinking in his heart: Could it be that Mr. Isaac...had long expected that a wizard reporter would follow, so he made preparations in advance?
However, he still didn't understand. Isaac collected a lot of evidence painstakingly. Why?
He chose to overthrow the goblin's currency rule at the beginning, mainly because he wanted to hold the right to speak in his own hands.
In addition, the most important point is that he can see that Kong Nuo hates fairies.
In addition, he learned that these plans of Isaac actually included Kong Nuo's technology as a stake, so he simply agreed to the request for cooperation and made a favor.
"What are these documents?" The wizard reporters got together and read the contents of the documents.
"Magic Printing Workshop... Lihen Bookstore...Little Red Book Book Company...Dust-Mold Publishing House...Whiz Hard Book Company..."
A wizard reporter opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Merlin's beard! So many publishing houses are invested by goblins?"
Another wizard reporter reminded: "Not only! They also have cooperation with Slugger Ziggs Pharmacy, and St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Wounds, which also has goblin investment!"
Isaac asked: "My fellow journalists, do you know what this means?"
A wizard reporter looked serious, with a bit of disbelief on his face, "It means that goblins are not simple, they have deeply rooted in the magical world, seeking various benefits, right?"
Isaac nodded, "That's right! Maybe you haven't thought about why a full "Quidditch World Cup Official Guide" needs 39 Galleons."
A group of wizard reporters suddenly realized, "Yes! Because the pricing has always been like this, we have never thought about why a guide needs to be sold so expensive!"
Isaac then asked: "You haven't thought about why potion materials need to use 'pieces', such a unit to calculate the price."
"Even if you ignore these things, but now that you have seen various materials and understood the role played by goblins, you should have noticed something is wrong, right?"
"That's true..." A group of wizard reporters nodded, "Based on this calculation... the goblin has already had such a profound impact."
"Before, we thought that so many publishing houses and pharmacies should be owned by wizards!"
"At least they used to be the property of wizards!" Isaac corrected, "You are right about that."
