Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts
Chapter 219: One guest leaves and another guest arrives
Borgin lowered his head, as if thinking about what Dudley had just told him.
"But I have one last question, Lord Dark Lord." Borkin murmured thoughtfully: "Even if we can get a large amount of Muggle wealth, we still can't use it directly in the wizarding world. After all, Muggle wealth can't be used directly in the magical world. Melon notes are worthless to us wizards.”
"And Gringotts will definitely not let us exchange so many Galleons in one go. If we exchange it with other wizards, we will easily be targeted by the Ministry of Magic..."
Dudley was about to answer when he heard a crisp knock on the door of the reception room.
"who is it?"
Dudley said in a cold voice.
"It's me, Lord Dark Lord." Lucius's voice sounded outside the door: "Another guest has also arrived. Should I ask him to wait elsewhere, or..."
"No need Lucius, it's just right, let him come in now."
Hearing the sound of the door slowly opening with a creak, Bo Jin looked a little embarrassed.
"Um... Lord Dark Lord, should I avoid it?" Borgin hesitated and said, "Because you see, I am not an official Death Eater. If someone sees us talking, If so - ah, Lord Dark Lord, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mean to offend you..."
"Hmph, I understand what you mean. Don't worry about Bo Jin. This guest is very good at keeping secrets." Dudley replied coldly: "And seeing what he said will also clear up some of your questions."
Lucius was seen walking in from the door, followed by a surprisingly short creature.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Griphook, a staff member of Gringotts." Dudley introduced to Bojin: "But I think you have met him many times in Gringotts."
Goblin Griphook frowned, and his pure black eyes narrowed.
"I have never heard of anyone else participating in this conversation before." Griphook said in a low voice: "Dear Lord Dark Lord, I have to say that if this man were here, our conversation would be It’s hard to proceed—he is, after all, one of the notorious thieves of goblin creations.”
"Don't worry, Mr. Griphook, Mr. Borkin and I are done talking and he will be leaving soon."
Dudley turned to Borgin: "Now you realize that the problem you just had will soon cease to be a problem."
Borgin looked at Griphook and nodded in shock and fear.
"Then you can leave, Mr. Borgin. Follow my plan. If there are any problems, just report it to Lucius. He will have a way to notify me."
After bowing deeply, Borgin quickly left the reception room, and Lucius followed closely and closed the door.
"Please take a seat, Mr. Griphook."
Griphook took a deep look at Dudley, then climbed onto the sofa with his short legs.
"You don't seem very afraid of me, Mr. Griphook."
Valley</span>Dudley spoke first, staring at Griphook.
"No, of course that's not the case. After hearing about your... deeds, I think everyone will be afraid of you, and I am no exception." Griphook said slowly and in a deep voice: "But I am more concerned with what you asked Mr. Lucius Malfoy to tell me.”
"I heard that you are willing to return Gryffindor's sword, which belongs to the goblins, to the goblins, right?"
Dudley knew that goblins had different values than humans.
According to goblin standards, the maker of the item will permanently obtain possession of the item. After the death of the purchaser, the item must return to the maker's hands.
Therefore, goblins have always believed that goblin items "owned" by humans do not exist, and humans have always only rented or stolen goblin items.
The most famous example is the sword of Gryffindor.
This is also a treasure with a high appearance rate in the original work. It was made of pure silver by Godric Gryffindor, one of the founders of Hogwarts, who commissioned the Goblin King Legnac I. .
However, Legnarc I liked the sword very much after it was forged and wanted to keep the weapon.But Gryffindor did not agree to his request, so Legnac I asked his subjects to steal the sword.
However, as the founder of Hogwarts, Gryffindor is indeed full of martial virtue. Not only did he easily repel all the goblins, but he also warned Legnac I that he would kill him if he dared to steal the sword again. Him and all his subjects.
Although Legnac I did not try to steal the sword again, the legend spread from the goblin society, and Gryffindor did not follow the goblin custom of returning the sword after death, but passed the sword to others. , which confirmed his reputation as a "thief" among goblins.
This incident had a far-reaching impact and even became one of the triggers for the goblin rebellion. It can be seen that regaining Gryffindor's sword is the dream of countless goblins.
Dudley also knew this very well, so he used Gryffindor's sword as bait. He knew that if he raised this matter, Griphook would definitely not refuse the invitation to talk.
"Excuse me, Lord Dark Lord." Griphook said respectfully, but his dark eyes were filled with suspicion: "I know that many wizards have different opinions about the ownership of Gryffindor's sword than we goblins. opinion, but why would the Dark Lord be so wise as to propose this?"
"The reason is very simple, Mr. Griphook... My opinion is similar to that of you goblins. Gryffindor's dispute with King Legnac I for the ownership of the sword is not legal and reasonable. Findor’s sword deserves to be returned to the goblin.”
Dudley wasn't completely lying to please Griphook, this was indeed what he really thought after investigating the incident.
When Gryffindor commissioned the Goblin King Legnarc I to forge the sword, he did so on the premise of knowing the customs of the goblins.If he couldn't accept the goblin's values, he could entrust someone else to complete the job.
However, due to the goblin's excellent forging ability, Gryffindor still chose to hire the goblin, which should have implicitly respected the goblin's values.
But Gryffindor became arrogant after getting the sword. The Goblin King didn't have the nerve to start a war with a big fanfare and just wanted to get the sword back secretly. As a result, Gryffindor was unreasonable and not only threatened to kill, but also ignored the goblin. The custom of passing the sword to others.
What a pity, if you can't accept the customs of goblins, then don't find someone in the first place.When you need a goblin to forge abilities, you call her "Tiantian". Once the sword is made, you don't recognize the goblin custom. How can this be such a barbaric act?
The more Dudley watched this scene, the more uncomfortable he became. This idea of being a bandit is what he gets. Isn't it the common tactic used by the British Empire in modern times to search for cultural relics for the British Museum? !
