Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts
Chapter 220: Dudley’s Cooperation with the Goblin Bank Gringotts
Moreover, after Gryffindor got the sword, not to mention what he used it for, he might have used it to kill people and set fire to it, or he might have fought and plundered it, but as far as Dudley knew, the sword had been kept for a long time. In the Sorting Hat.
This made Dudley want to scold Gryffindor even more. Just for the sake of allowing "real Gryffindor students" to draw swords from the Sorting Hat and fight, he made wizards and goblins form an everlasting feud. There was even a bloody rebellion, was it worth it?
By the way, what does Gryffindor think? How stupid are Gryffindor students to wear the Sorting Hat that is only used once a year during a fight?
To be precise, Gryffindor's sword is not used for fighting. It is used to fight to the death and behead the enemy. Therefore, Godric Gryffindor's arrangement must be effective. , you must meet the confusing conditions of "killing the enemy but not carrying a weapon", "being a real Gryffindor", and "the hat just happens to be next to him".
In the original work, the first time the Sword of Gryffindor appeared was in the last scene of Chamber of Secrets, when Phoenix Fawkes helped Harry Potter bring the Sorting Hat to give him a chance to kill the basilisk.
Of course, if the phoenix hadn't just restrained the basilisk and pecked out both of its eyes, it would have been useless even if Harry Potter held this big sword.
The last time Gryffindor's sword appeared was at the end of the Battle of Hogwarts in the final film.
At that time, Voldemort wanted to persuade Neville Longbottom to surrender, but Neville's classmate would rather die than surrender, so Voldemort asked Nagini to kill him. Unexpectedly, Neville pulled out the big sword from the Sorting Hat and succeeded in killing him——
But where did this Sorting Hat come from?
The answer is that Voldemort had a convulsion somewhere. Before killing a student, he deliberately took a hat from the principal's office and handed it to the person he wanted to kill.
If Voldemort hadn't died early in this world, Dudley would have really wanted to ask him what kind of thinking circuit he had. Before killing someone, he would give a hat to the opponent. This was an operation that only a weird brain could come up with.
"Dark Lord... Lord Dark Lord?"
Hearing Griphook's voice, Dudley realized that he had gone too far.
All in all, Dudley felt that Gryffindor's sword was of no use in Hogwarts. It would be better to return it directly to the goblins and ease the relationship between goblins and wizards.
"Then, on behalf of all the elves, I would like to express my gratitude to the Dark Lord..." Griphook rubbed his hands expectantly and asked nervously: "Then, Lord Dark Lord, is Gryffindor's sword now?" Where is it?"
"In Dumbledore's headmaster's office, inside the Sorting Hat to be precise."
"what?!"
Upon hearing Dudley's words, Griphook made a strange and confused sound, and after a moment, his face became gloomy and ugly.
"If Lord Dark Lord wants to make fun of me, please change the topic." Griphook said with a gloomy face: "If there is nothing else, then I will leave first so as not to disturb Lord Dark Lord's time. .”
"Don't be anxious, Mr. Griphook, listen to me first." Dudley continued lazily, "I can't eat hot tofu if I'm anxious. The reason why I'm discussing this issue with you is that I have a way to get it over. , but I need your cooperation."
"Cooperate?" Griphook stopped preparing to leave, raised his head and looked at Dudley in confusion.
"To put it simply, I plan to rob Gringotts, so I need your... no, I should say all the goblins to cooperate."
"what?!"
Griphook's expression was even more exaggerated than before, as if Dudley was talking about something that happened all night long.
"No need to talk! You are wishful thinking! Gringotts is the safest place in the world, and it will never-"
Dudley raised his hand silently and touched Griphook's forehead with the elder wand, immediately silencing him.
"It's a bit too much, Griphook, did you misunderstand me because I was too gentle?" Dudley's voice was cold and ruthless, "When I'm going to talk to you, you'd better listen quietly, otherwise... ....”
"If there is no rehabilitation value, maybe it should be cremated."
The goblin's body was trembling, and he curled up on the sofa shivering, not daring to move rashly.
"Now that you understand your position, we can continue talking." Dudley slowly took back his wand: "Don't worry, I don't have any bad taste. Boring things like crime notices are not my style. "
"Before I explain in detail, I want to confirm one thing - remember that Gringotts has a business of exchanging Muggle currency and wizard currency."
Griphook hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slowly. It seemed that he still hadn't reacted to the shock just now.
"Then I have a question...if I take a larger amount of Muggle currency - well, it would be equivalent to hundreds or tens of millions of galleons."
Dudley made a rough calculation, then approached Griphook and asked softly:
"If I redeem it in one go, will Gringotts deliver it to me at the original exchange rate?"
"Of course this is impossible. This will have a huge impact on the currency balance of the Wizarding World!" Griphook immediately jumped up excitedly: "The Ministry of Magic has an agreement with us, and we must maintain the stability of the currency value of the Wizarding World."
"Besides, if a wizard exchanges so much Muggle currency at once, it stands to reason that he must notify the Ministry of Magic. After all, this must involve attacking Muggles——"
At this point, Griphook's face turned even paler, and he trembled and shrank into the deepest part of the sofa.
"I...I don't know anything, Lord Dark Lord, I didn't hear anything." Griphook was like an innocent passerby who discovered the crime scene, afraid of being silenced. "Please, let me go." Well, I won’t say anything,”
Dudley couldn't help laughing. Griphook obviously misunderstood the way he obtained Muggle currency, but this was normal. According to common sense in the wizarding world, obtaining Muggle currency in large quantities meant burning and killing. Loot.
But Dudley's laughter sounded like a sharp and evil laugh to Griphook's ears, which made the latter even more frightened.
"Okay, Mr. Griphook, you don't have to worry about how I obtain Muggle currency." Dudley waved his hand and continued: "What I want to confirm is that you can provide galleons, but I am worried that this will cause dissatisfaction with the Ministry of Magic. ,Right."
Griphook trembled his lips, then nodded numbly.
"Then, my idea is very simple." Dudley said slowly: "I will provide you with Muggle currency that meets the exchange rate in exchange for equivalent Galleons. But if the Ministry of Magic asks about the Galleons in our hands, The source of it, you just explain it as we snatched it from the Gringotts warehouse."
"And in order to show authenticity, I will actually break into Gringotts!"
This made Dudley want to scold Gryffindor even more. Just for the sake of allowing "real Gryffindor students" to draw swords from the Sorting Hat and fight, he made wizards and goblins form an everlasting feud. There was even a bloody rebellion, was it worth it?
