Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

Griphook blinked his dark eyes, and it took almost five minutes before he seemed to understand what Dudley had told him.

"Uh... what the Dark Lord means." Griphook hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "Although you invaded Gringotts with great fanfare, and spread the news to steal a large amount of gold coins. "

"But the truth is that your gold coins were legitimately exchanged for Muggle currency. You didn't actually steal a single currency from Gringotts - is that what you mean?"

Dudley nodded and said with satisfaction: "You understand quickly, Mr. Griphook."

Griphook lowered his head to calculate, then raised his head to look at Dudley in confusion.

"But...with all due respect, Lord Dark Lord, let alone whether you are really capable of breaking into Gringotts - ah, I am not questioning your greatness." Griphook said cautiously and awkwardly, Afraid of angering Dudley.

"But you've already broken in, and you've already earned a reputation as a robber, so why bother exchanging money with us secretly instead of actually stealing it?"

"First of all, the most important reason is that I don't want to be evil with you Gringotts - to be precise, the goblin species. I want to maintain a good relationship with you." Dudley said slowly.

"According to my plan, Gringotts won't actually suffer much loss. It may be that some of its defense mechanisms will be destroyed by me, and its reputation will be affected to a certain extent."

"But since there are no actual victims, those customers who store gold coins in Gringotts will only feel that the defense level of their vaults is higher than others, and even the Dark Lord breaks in, so they believe you even more - of course, they don't You will know that no one suffered any loss."

Griphook muttered a few words under his breath, and then said slowly: "That's true... They will think that the person who was damaged is someone else, and then they will have a sense of superiority about the insurance level of their own vault. And our main customers are all For the wizard family, a sense of superiority is really important to them."

"Yes, that's the truth, and it also involves another point." Dudley nodded and continued.

"Since most of Gringotts' treasury is owned by ancient wizarding families... this is very embarrassing. Most of my subordinates are also from ancient pure-blood wizarding families. They rob the money from their treasury and then I still can’t do such stupid things as tipping them.”

Griphook nodded, and then asked uneasily: "But the Dark Lord... Although I understand your intention in this matter, it is impossible for me to help you on my own for such a big incident. And There are some goblins in Gringotts who will never agree to help outsiders break into Gringotts——"

"I repeat, Griphook." Dudley said softly and slowly: "I don't need your help to break in. Only a few people can know about this matter. As long as the person in charge of the exchange business performs the business, others Everyone can keep it in the dark.”

"Moreover, I'm not letting you take the risk in vain. As I said at the beginning, through this incident, I will return Gryffindor's sword to you. I believe this is a reward worthy of the risk you goblins take." .”

Griphook lowered his head, seeming to consider the possibility of what Dudley had said.

"Okay, Lord Dark Lord..." Griphook gritted his teeth, as if he had finally made up his mind: "Then what preparations do you need us to make?"

"You just need to prepare enough Galleons. As a consideration, I will naturally prepare the Muggle currency when the time comes." Dudley saw Griphook's response and nodded with satisfaction.

"Otherwise, just react as normal. I will try to minimize casualties when I attack Gringotts. But if the resistance is too fierce, I will only regret it if something unexpected happens."

Griphook still seemed a little unconvinced that Dudley could successfully break through Gringotts' defense mechanism, but in order not to further anger Dudley, he held back and said nothing.

"Then I wish us happy cooperation in advance, Mr. Griphook." Dudley stretched out his bony dragon priest's wrist and held Griphook's trembling hand. "I will have a crime notice before I take action. You guys When the time comes, I can inform the Aurors in advance, or others can help with the defense, it doesn't matter to me."

When the goblin Griphook left, he still looked a little dazed. Dudley's previous words still made him unable to fully accept them for a moment.

Dudley didn't care, since it was still some time before the official action, and he also had many other things to prepare for.

After Griphook left, Delphine soon walked into the reception room.

"You are really bold...I thought my previous plan of using Ariana to impersonate Dumbledore was risky enough, but going directly to rob Gringotts..."

Delphine covered her mouth and chuckled, but it seemed that she was not laughing at Dudley, but simply found Dudley's idea interesting.

"With a certain level of power, the ways to solve problems will become more diverse." Dudley shrugged: "And to be precise, robbing Gringotts is just a cover, in order to prevent Dumbledore and the others from They will be suspicious of my sudden wealth."

"After all, instead of having a troublesome thing like Gringotts in our own hands and having a headache, it's better to let it continue to be our hidden ally - as long as they cooperate with us once, they will have an endless source of galleons from now on. ."

"But only if you also have enough Muggle currency."

Delphine asked curiously: "Can you tell me what your method is, and it can't be discovered by the Ministry of Magic, otherwise you will violate the agreement with Fudge."

Dudley pulled off his hood, then slowly took off his dragon priest mask, revealing a mysterious smile.

"First of all, I had no intention of strictly abiding by the so-called agreement between Fudge and I. You should have discovered that it was just him unilaterally making an unbreakable vow - I just provided the preconditions."

"Even if this oath is broken by me, the end result is that Fudge can break the oath and hunt down Death Eaters - that's none of my business."

Delphine looked at the direction of the door and said with a smile: "If Lucius Malfoy hears these words of yours, maybe the couple will be too scared to sleep tonight."

"Of course, it's also a good thing for me that Fudge can always be obedient and don't mess around." Dudley said slowly: "So this time, I plan to use a gentler and more subtle method - besides, it is Borgin who does it. , he is not a Death Eater, even if he is caught, it has nothing to do with me."

"The way to make money is actually very simple - intelligence. Under the premise of taking advantage of information asymmetry, making money is much easier than using magic to rob someone."
