Chapter 624 Goblin protests

At Linn's signal, Irvine and Madam Pomfrey took Astoria back to Hogwarts Castle and went to the school hospital for examination.

Although the blood curse on Astoria was under control, her physical condition was already riddled with holes due to the damage caused by the curse.

Even after the blood curse turned into the power of her own blood, the magic power fed back to her repaired her body to a certain extent, but it still took a certain amount of time for her to fully recover.

After learning that Astoria was fine, Harry and other members of the D.A. Army finally felt relieved and returned to Hogwarts Castle to rest.

Dumbledore, on the other hand, asked Linn to visit Irina in the school hospital with her after she recovered, and then left.

Under the night sky, only Linn and Irina were left on the Quidditch pitch. Irina was sleeping soundly on his shoulder, while Linn was looking at the stars in ecstasy.

…

Meanwhile, Gringotts.

The deepest part of Gringotts is not the five vaults guarded by fire dragons, but a secret room deeper underground.

"Have the losses at Gringotts... been clearly accounted for?"

A low, hoarse, yet inexplicably terrifying voice came.

Under the shadow that the torch could not shine, a fairy whose hair turned completely gray and whose wrinkles on the skin were as ugly as a rotten tree trunk, but whose dark eyes gave people a breathtaking feeling, slowly walked in. In the light.

Compared with those young goblins, this goblin looks like he is dying.

Everything about its body is like a dead corpse. Only its dark eyes make people dare not underestimate it.

This goblin's clothes are not gorgeous, but rather plain. The only thing that makes it look less ordinary is the metal devices hanging on its clothes that constantly make mechanical sounds.

Seeing this goblin appear, another goblin in the light, who was dressed up extremely gorgeously and had more than a dozen gold bracelets hanging on his arms, acted so humble.

The gorgeously dressed goblin actually knelt down in front of the old goblin, its whole body trembling slightly, as if it was facing a supreme monarch.

The gorgeously dressed goblin whispered: "The count is over, Master Arnold!"

The old goblin's name was Arnold, and he was the goblin alchemist with the highest level of alchemy in Gringotts. He was also called the master of alchemy by these goblins.

Arnold's status among the goblins is no different than Nico Flamel in the eyes of human alchemists, and his attainments in alchemy have already reached the level of a demon king.

Yes, Arnold is a demon king-level existence, the first of the goblin clan, and the only goblin with demon king-level power!

However, Arnold devoted everything he had to the study of alchemy, which meant that its combat experience could not be more powerful than that of human demon king-level wizards.

And the magical power that Arnold obtained through his alchemy attainments cannot be compared with that of Nico Flamel.

After all, the lifespan of goblins is no longer than that of wizards, and compared with Nico Flamel, who has lived for hundreds of years, Arnold's opportunities to gain power in this short lifespan are extremely limited.

But even so, Arnold, whose alchemy skills have reached the level of a demon king, is still capable of fighting a demon king level wizard using the alchemical weapons he has refined.

The goblin regards wealth as life, and at the same time he respects alchemy.

Relying on his alchemy skills, Arnold has become the highest-ranking being among the goblins of Gringotts, and he is also the actual leader of Gringotts today.

"Master Arnold, the treasury that was robbed was the five deepest treasury. Those five treasuries were robbed by those damn robbers, leaving no property behind. However, there was no sign that the treasury door was opened by violence. "

"In addition, the fire dragon 'guards' guarding the vault of Gringotts disappeared without a trace and were suspected to have been taken away by those damn robbers; a hundred-meter-long passage was penetrated in the underground vault, which led to the current Gringotts safety index. linear decrease."

"According to the property data of the five robbed vaults recorded in the case file, after converting them all into gold galleons, it is approximately 3.7058 million gold galleons! In addition, the cost of repairing the underground vaults is approximately Three hundred thousand gold galleons, and the value of the fire dragon 'guard' we lost is incalculable."

The gorgeously dressed goblin said so.

Hearing this, Arnold's brows suddenly frowned.

However, what Arnold was concerned about was not the amount of damage to Gringotts, but the fact that the vault door mentioned by the gorgeously dressed goblin showed no signs of being opened by violence.

Arnold asked in a low voice: "You said that the vault door was not opened due to violence?"

The gorgeously dressed goblin was stunned and nodded: "Yes, Master Arnold, according to our inspection, there are no signs of damage to the vault door, as if..."

Arnold said coldly: "It's as if those wizards and robbers took the secret key I sent you and the palm of a goblin to open it?"

The gorgeously dressed goblin nodded first, and then it seemed to realize something. It exclaimed: "Master Arnold, could it be those damn robbers who used the Imperius Curse to control our vault-opening authority?" Goblin?"

Arnold asked rhetorically: "During the inventory after the war, apart from the goblins who died in the battle, did you find any missing goblins?"

The gorgeously dressed goblin shook his head.

Arnold sneered and said: "It seems that among those wizards and robbers, there must be an alchemist, and that alchemist's alchemy skills are probably not much weaker than mine."

"There are only a handful of alchemists who can see through the two opening permissions required to open the treasury door that I refined a hundred years ago, and use methods other than the Imperius Curse to open the treasury door from the front."

"I heard from you that among the robbers involved in this robbery, there were two devil-level wizards, including Albus Dumbledore?!"

Arnold asked.

The gorgeously dressed goblin nodded.

Arnold sneered and said: "It seems that it was that damn Dumbledore who did it."

The gorgeously dressed goblin asked eagerly: "So, Master Arnold, what should we do? We can't lose so much in vain..."

Arnold said calmly: "If I remember correctly, the British Minister of Magic is extremely weak, and he is willing to pay any price to settle the matter for the sake of that false peace."

"And that Albus Dumbledore is bound by the laws of the Ministry of Magic. Although I don't know why Dumbledore, who always likes peace, would get involved in this robbery, he should not resist the Ministry of Magic. of the order.”

"In the name of Gringotts, we protest to the British Ministry of Magic and demand that the Ministry of Magic compensate for Gringotts' losses and publicly apologize to Gringotts! I think the British wizarding community is not willing to experience another goblin war. !”

Arnold said coldly. (End of chapter)
