Chapter 108 Harry: I need an explanation!
Harry thought for a moment and chose to put the wand back. After all, he still expected the goblin to take him to the vault to retrieve something.
Did he really not expect that this old man seemed to have more functions after not seeing this wand for so long?
Maybe it's due to absorbing Lanlock's energy?
But then again, countless goblins have died under this wand.
Although Harry was once a kind person who was so kind that he was afraid of hurting ants, but when he saw the goblins slaughtering the village, he also gave up the kindness he shouldn't have.
Although Gringotts repeatedly claimed that Lanlock's behavior had nothing to do with the goblins of Gringotts, Harry still felt that the goblins of Gringotts were not good things.
When Harry took his wand back, the goblins finally fled from their fear.
"Oh my god, what is this..." Griphook swallowed hard.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Harry said in a calm voice, "Now that I have taken out the token, you should take me to the vault, right?"
"Okay Mr. Potter, please come this way." Griphook said respectfully.
He led Harry along, one hand behind his back gesturing to the other goblins.
Harry noticed his little movement, but he didn't care too much.
Before coming to Gringotts, he had prepared a portkey in his bag, which after activation could quickly take him back to the outside of the Leaky Cauldron.
Harry followed Griphook to a narrow stone corridor, which was brightly illuminated by burning torches.
The stone corridor is a steep downhill slope with a small railway winding forward on the ground.
Griphook whistled, and soon a small cart rushed towards them along the railway.
"Come up, Mr. Potter." Griphook turned around and said, and then he took the lead and sat in.
Harry also walked up and sat down, and conveniently placed a miniature armor protection in front of him - just enough to shield his face from the wind, but not enough to take care of Griphook.
On the way, we also passed an underground lake covered with huge stalactites and stalagmites, some even hanging down to the ground.
Finally, the trolley stopped in front of a small door. This trolley seemed to be programmed with some kind of magic. Anyway, they could always stop steadily in front of the vault they wanted to go to.
"Here we are, Mr. Potter." Griphook jumped out of the car and said respectfully.
Harry got out of the car and looked up at Vault 313.
Needless to say, judging from the door alone, it is much more elegant than the door of the Potter family's vault.
"A total of 2,763,215 gold galleons." Griphook held a piece of paper and said calmly, "There are also some antiques and treasures from the royal family of the Austro-Hungarian Empire a hundred years ago. The collection - let me take a look, it says... there are also some precious alchemy materials, and even rare things like angel feathers. I really don’t know who the mistress of the treasury is."
backing?
Harry thought about it, and it seemed that Vivi had an aunt whose nickname was "Sissi". She seemed to be married to a man named Joseph, who was said to be somewhat powerful in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
But...two million gold galleons? !
Is this the "little money" that Weiwei said?
He was still sighing in his heart, but his face was as usual, and he said to Griphook: "Open the door."
Griphook nodded, stepped forward, and clicked something unknown on the door. Then the door lock was opened, and a thick green smoke came out from the door.
After the smoke cleared, Harry took a look inside...
After a while.
Harry looked back blankly from the emptiness...
This...isn't this right?
Where is this money you are talking about?
He searched carefully in the vault and saw a poor copper nut in a corner.
There is also a silver-white princess crown hanging at the very back of the vault.
"Is this the more than two million gold galleons you were talking about?!" Harry pointed at the empty treasury, his blood pressure rising.
No, are you fucking kidding me?
Jin Gallon is nothing, if you lose it, just lose it.
Curios and curios didn't matter, Harry didn't care about that either.
But what about my damn angel feathers? !
If Weiwei puts it here, what about that big pile of angel feathers?
Harry never believed that Vivi would lie to him, not to mention that the list also recorded in detail what was in it.
After hearing Harry's words, Griphook turned his head.
He took a deep breath and looked horrified.
"Po...Mr. Potter, this is a major accident. I want...I want to inform the senior management of Gringotts..."
Harry didn't speak, just looked at him coldly, took out the age-enhancing potion from his arms and took a sip.
"Now please come back with me, I think..." Griphook swallowed, "I think the senior management of Gringotts will definitely give you a reasonable explanation."
"You better be!" Harry said nothing and got back into the car.
Retracing his steps, Harry returned to the hall of Gringotts again.
As a result, as soon as he entered the hall, he was stopped by two goblins in suits and ties.
"Mr. Potter, Mr. President, please come." The two goblins said respectfully.
Harry lowered his head, glanced at them, and pointed to the ground.
"Let him come to me, here."
"This..." The two goblins looked at each other, both of them showing troubled expressions.
"My vault has been stolen, and the treasure inside is missing!" Harry snorted coldly: "I need Gringotts to give me an explanation! Is it because the goblins are not guarding it well, or is it because they are guarding it and stealing it!"
Upon hearing Harry's words, the originally quiet Gringotts hall instantly boiled like a frying pan.
As we all know, Gringotts has been known for its safety since its establishment.
In other words, this is the basis for their foundation in the wizarding world.
Now suddenly, someone openly claimed in the lobby of Gringotts Bank that the treasure in his vault was missing.
Even the goblins who followed him to retrieve the treasure lowered their heads and acquiesced...
One can imagine how much of a shock it was to the employees of Gringotts and the wizards who came to deposit and withdraw treasures.
The goblins stared at Harry and whispered.
The wizards who came here to handle business were also surprised and looked at Harry for a while and Griphook for a while.
They were very eager to know what was going on.
The two goblins in suits sighed, turned around, and left the hall of Gringotts.
"Mr. Griphook, I think I need a reasonable explanation." Harry said calmly, "Or, if you can't give me an explanation that satisfies me, then I will ask my old friend to talk to you. Talked about it.”
"No, no, no, no, Mr. Potter." Griphook forced out a look of reluctance: "Please come to the VIP lounge with me. We promise to give you a reasonable explanation for what happened in vault 313. ! ”
"Hmph." Harry snorted and followed Griphook to the VIP lounge. After a while, two goblin waiters came in shivering, carrying black tea and desserts.
They served Harry diligently, but their faces were extremely serious, and if you looked closely, they even looked a little frightened.
"What do you look like?" Harry glanced at the two goblins: "I remember that the standard in the service industry is to smile. Why don't you smile? Don't you like to smile?"
The two goblin waiters murmured in their hearts, Gringotts does not have such rules...
But facing the holder of a wand stained with the blood of countless fairies, they still decisively chose to follow their hearts and forced out a reluctant smile.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and with Harry's permission, the two goblins in suits and ties walked in one after another.
Then, a cross-eyed goblin was seen walking into the room.
"Mr. Potter." The cross-eyed goblin bowed and saluted Harry, "We finally meet."
Harry nodded politely at him and asked, "Do we know each other?"
"Sorry, Mr. Potter, although we don't know each other, I grew up hearing your name."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Bo Derek shuddered as he said this.
"Introducing myself, I am Bodrick 'Cross-Eyed', the president of the Goblin Brotherhood."
"Aren't you from Gringotts?" Harry asked with an unhappy look.
He originally thought that the person coming was a goblin from Gringotts, so he didn't refuse to see him just now.
But now I'm having a dispute with Gringotts. Why are you here to join in the fun? !
Seeing the displeasure on Harry's face, Bo Derek felt a chill in his heart.
He quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Sorry, Mr. Potter, I know you have something important, but I still want to disturb you a little..."
After all, if Bo Derek had been arrogant from the beginning, Harry would have taken out his wand.
But Harry had always been a soft-spoken person, and with Bodrick's attitude so low, it was hard for him to use harmless little curses to talk to him.
"I'm pressed for time. If you have anything to say, please tell me as soon as possible." Harry tapped his finger on the table.
"That's right, Mr. Potter." Bo Derek tried to control his words: "I...well, we have all heard of your great reputation back then. Now that you have returned to your loyal magical world, we goblins have also I want to...want to clear up the misunderstanding with you."
"We should indeed clarify the misunderstanding," Harry wiped his nails casually, "We had some minor unpleasantness with you goblins, and we fully and frankly exchanged some opinions - but that was not my intention. , but if there are scum among you fairies who covet ancient magic and kill innocent people indiscriminately..."
At this point, Harry said meaningfully: "I will keep an eye on you."
Hearing Harry's words, Bo Derek's heart exploded sharply.
A small unpleasantness?
Full and frank exchange of views? !
You call that a small unpleasantness?
Oh my gosh! The thousands of goblins who followed Lanlock back then were all wiped out by you!
Bo Derek still remembers how the elders described it - those students who threw green spells when they met, and a pair of young men and women who knew ancient magic...
Countless goblins have died under your wand alone - otherwise, why would it issue such a terrifying threat to the goblins? !
But...
After receiving Mr. Potter's answer, Bo Derek was very satisfied.
As long as he doesn't plan to continue to expand the problem to all fairies...
"Thank you for your tolerance, Mr. Potter." Bo Derek quickly caressed his chest and said, "Your tolerance is enough to illuminate the entire magical world."
"Let's put this issue aside for now. I have more important things to talk about with you goblins now."
Harry spoke softly, but the words he spoke were as heavy as a stone in the ears of the goblins.
Have something more important to talk about? !
Suppressing the goblin rebellion was just a small unpleasantness, and Bodrick really didn't dare think about how serious the "more important things" would be.
"You can just say it, Mr. Potter." Bo Derek said respectfully: "We, the Goblin Brotherhood, can still say a few words in Gringotts, and we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
Harry nodded and called Griphook beside him.
"A hundred years ago, my friend saved a fortune in Gringotts. When I went to get it today, the wealth was gone."
Harry gave Griphook a look, and Griphook stepped forward and presented the list to Bo Derek.
"I need an explanation now, where did my treasure go?"
Bo Derek took the list and a mask of pain immediately appeared on his face.
This...is this a wealth that can be described? !
Even for Gringotts, more than two million gold Galleons is an astronomical sum, not to mention that there are many precious alchemy materials and antique appliances in it...
He no longer dared to think about what would happen next if Gringotts couldn't give a suitable answer.
"Don't worry! Mr. Potter!" Bo Derek said immediately: "I will definitely urge Gringotts and give you a satisfactory answer!"
Harry nodded, very satisfied with Bo Derek's attitude.
At this moment, the person in charge of Gringotts also trotted into the room and ran up to Harry, obviously making a sudden stop.
"Mr. Potter, Mr. Bodrick." His little eyes blinked, "About your matter, Mr. Potter, I have heard it repeated by the relevant personnel. Now I will urge the teller to verify the matter. I will definitely do it." Give you a satisfactory answer! ”
"Then I'll wait." Harry nodded and said reasonably.
Seeing that Harry did not cause a scene in Gringotts, the person in charge breathed a sigh of relief.
Harry just didn't know what these goblins were thinking, otherwise he would definitely sneer at them.
After all, I have lived under the education of Principal Black for more than five years, and even the stone has a bit of a smell.
This is a society ruled by law, and Harry will try his best to remain decent no matter what.
Soon, Gringotts tellers filed in, holding a thick stack of documents in their hands.
They sat a short distance in front of Harry and began to double-check the documents.
Harry didn't rush them, he just drank black tea leisurely and calmly, waiting for the final result to appear.
Sure enough, he didn't have to wait too long.
Just after half an hour passed, a goblin quickly stood up with a stack of paper in his hand.
"Here! I found it!"
