Chapter 689: The Secret of Gringotts

After Ryan read the newspaper sent by Rose Crystal, he rarely taunted the two goblins on the opposite side, but before the two goblins who seemed about to explode asked, Dirk asked curiously: Commander, what is the matter? what's going on?

Look at these newspapers. I really don't know how hypocritical the goblins' independence and freedom are. Ryan said as he handed over the newspapers in his hand, and then chatted with Rose Crystal.

In front of these guerrillas, Ryan did not hide the existence of the rose crystal. On the one hand, the rose crystal played a big role in the previous actions, and it was difficult to completely cover up her whereabouts. On the other hand, he has always regarded Rose Crystal as his relatives, and this time is also a good opportunity for her to act publicly.

As a result, Ryan found that the appearance of the rose crystal did surprise the guerrillas, but that was all. He later learned that for the guerrillas, it was expected that Ryan, as a master alchemist, would create a puppet with his own consciousness. As a group of wizards who had little knowledge of alchemy, they felt that the rose crystal was no different from the sorting hat, only the appearance was different.

This made Ryan's previous set of rhetoric about the source of the rose crystal useless at all, but on the other hand, the rose crystal also integrated into the world more easily than expected.

Dirk quickly finished reading those newspapers, with the same surprised expression on his face. But he didn't say anything and passed the paper to the next person, and after a few minutes, everyone in the tent had read the paper.

How is this possible? Finally, they handed the newspaper to the two goblins. After reading it, the two goblins opened their eyes wide at the same time, and the newspaper slipped from their hands and fell to the ground. How could Gringotts give such an order, are they crazy?

On the newspapers that fell on the floor, whether it was the British Magic issued by Hogsmeade or the Daily Prophet issued in London, the same headline was written in large and black fonts: Gringotts It is announced that it will cooperate with the London Ministry of Magic to seize and confiscate all the wealth stored in Gringotts by those who resisted in Hogsmeade.

The wizards present didn't have much reaction. The wizards who have fallen into this state are basically not born in ancient magic families. Therefore, their previous deposits in Gringotts were not much. For them, even if their deposits were confiscated by Gringotts, the loss would not be too great. At the same time, as they grew up in the Muggle world, they didn't think there was anything wrong with confiscating the enemy's funds during this war.

But this news is unacceptable to the goblins, especially the extreme goblins like Griphook and Gonuk. Because this meant that Gringotts, which had always been neutral, was finally controlled by the Death Eaters, and the last thing they wanted to see happened. All the previous preparations seemed to be in vain.

The two goblins hugged each other and cried bitterly. On the one hand, as extremists, they could not accept such a fact. On the other hand, it means that their previous sacrifices have become meaningless, and they are now crying about their own seemingly dark fate in the future.

How could the goblins suddenly give in? Hermione, who was sitting next to Ryan, asked Ryan through the phoenix brand. You have to know that the goblins in England have launched so many rebellions, why did they accept the order of the Death Eaters so easily this time?

I think there may be two reasons. After glancing at the two goblins crying bitterly and the wizards whispering together in the tent, and finding that none of them noticed him, Ryan also explained to Hermione through the brand of the phoenix. road.

First, after such a long war, the fairies today are not quite the same as the fairies in the past. The wizards have lost the fighting spirit of the past in the long peace. The fairies are similar. Even if they realize After this point, try to keep the fighting spirit as much as possible, but the long-term peaceful life finally made them lose the spirit of daring to fight to the death.

Of course this is also related to the actions of wizards. Ryan pointed out a key point. After many goblin rebellions, Gringotts of the goblins became the only financial institution in the UK and even Western Europe. By 1865, the Ministry of Magic even agreed to let the goblins take full control of Gringotts. Now with Gringotts' control After the British and European financial banks were in their hands, the spirit of resistance of the goblins was greatly dissipated by these wealth. In addition, through the monopoly of the financial industry, the goblins also obtained the long-awaited rights, thereby reducing Contradictions with wizards.

You're right. Hermione suddenly thought of some knowledge. Gringotts may not be as old as we imagined. Banks are needed only when the economy develops to a certain level. Therefore, I even suspect that the establishment of Gringotts has something to do with wizards trying to appease goblins.

To be precise, one of the very important reasons why the wizards let the goblins control Gringotts is to appease the goblins and at the same time kill their fighting spirit. Ryan replied, That's why the mysterious man was able to intimidate them this time. One of the reasons for taking control of Gringotts.

Then what's the other reason? Hermione asked curiously. You just said that there are two reasons for the goblins to cooperate with the mysterious man's order this time. You said one, so what is the other reason?

That is the Hogsmeade branch of the Celestial Alchemist Bank opened in Hogsmeade. Of course, for the next step of localization, Xiong Guangsu suggested naming this bank, and may further reduce their shareholding.

It sounds like a good idea, but it doesn't have much to do with what we're discussing! Hermione said a little puzzled.

No, no, there is a connection. Ryan turned his head and smiled at Hermione, and then continued through the phoenix brand. It turns out that Gringotts has always been in a monopoly position in the UK and the places radiated by the British wizarding world. This monopoly not only brings money to the goblins, but also brings power. But now, competitors have been introduced into the UK.

Because of the threat from the Mysterio side, there is absolutely no way for the goblins to come to Hogsmeade and drive the future United Wizarding Bank of Britain out of the UK through competition. So for them, now the only way to eliminate the threat of competitors Therefore, the only way to protect their wealth and rights is to completely surrender to the mysterious person, and then combine the power of the mysterious person to eradicate us.

Then what about Gringotts America? Hermione asked a little puzzled, Didn't we know that Gringotts America was the most important funder behind those Death Eaters? Wouldn't they come out? Did the aid go through Gringotts?.

How is it possible? Although Gringotts in the United States still has the Gringotts brand, they are two completely independent banks. Ryan told Hermione the information he had obtained during the chat with the Weasley brothers. As a big family in the wizarding world, many members of the Weasley family immigrated to North America, so they also had a deep understanding of the American wizarding world.

Don't forget, a very important supporter of the Death Eaters this time is the Gringotts of the United States. Unlike us here, the controller of Gringotts in the United States is their Magic Congress, and their actions often represent the United States. The will of the wizarding world. For example, this time they provide funds for the pure-blood family in the British magic world, in fact, to weaken the British magic world and even the European magic world, so as to gain the leadership of the Western magic world.

Of course because Professor Dumbledore is still alive, and to put it bluntly, because of my rise. The Americans don't want to end in person. Just like the two world wars, they only hope to make us help each other through money and resources. Kill, then come out and completely dominate when we're all weakened.

That's why you destroyed those manors before, isn't it? Hermione responded. You're creating bad debts for those wizards of America, making them keep losing money.

Yes, the completely destroyed manors and plantations indicate that the money they lent out will never be recovered. After the loss reaches a certain level, the American wizarding community is likely to choose to stop the loss in time. After all, according to their goal, this kind of Under the circumstances, they don't want to get involved too deeply, and they don't want to be involved in this war. Ryan nodded and replied.
