Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

Chapter 165 Title Deed and Key

On the lower floor, there was a row of gold galleons neatly stacked. After Anduin took it out, he counted it carefully and found that there were a thousand gold galleons.

"Good fellow, I have harvested 1,600 gold galleons tonight, which is not a big harvest." Anduin put these gold coins into his space leather bag with a smile in his eyes.

Next, he took out the keys and paper from the upper layer and studied them.

He put the key aside and first took out the paper and read it.

When he saw it, he was immediately delighted. This was actually the title deed to Diagon Alley!

Moreover, it has an unsigned title deed officially certified by the Ministry of Magic. As long as you hold this title deed, the house and the land will be recognized by the Ministry of Magic.

"I didn't expect that the joke I played with Ms. Purnell before would actually come true. This is a windfall. No wonder it has to be so closely guarded. It's actually an unsigned title deed." Anduin thought teasingly.

This kind of unsigned land deed is very rare, and he has only seen some records in some records of pure-blood wizards before.

In fact, most properties in the magical world do not require such things as land deeds. After all, they are all wizards. Find a place in the deep mountains and old forests and cast a few shielding spells. If you want to be more hidden, you can even cast the Loyalty Charm, or directly

It is also possible to buy Muggle real estate or renovate a manor for use in the Muggle world.

But some special areas, such as Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade and other wizarding gathering places are different. Each property in these areas has clear records and must be registered in detail with the Ministry of Magic and a title deed must be issued.

Only one can own it, and the unsigned land deed is a more special existence.

To convert a normal land deed into such an unsigned land deed requires very troublesome procedures, and it must be signed by a senior official above the level of Director of the Ministry of Magic and a member of the Wizengamot at the same time for approval. Therefore, this kind of land deed is currently used in the wizarding world.

Real estate with title deeds is very rare, of course because its advantages and disadvantages are so obvious.

The advantage is that no official agency can find out the real owner of this land, that is, it does not need to be registered, it is very secretive, and it is officially protected by the Ministry of Magic. No intrusion is allowed without permission.

Even places with strict property records like Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade can enjoy such rights.

It seems that it was run by the Travers Patriarch who was a member of the Wizengamot Council, and a safe house was specially built to prevent the family from losing power or being targeted by enemies, such as being wanted by the Ministry of Magic.

, there are places to hide, and it is not easy to be traced.

This is second only to the use of the Red Loyalty Charm, and compared to the complete concealment like the Red Loyalty Charm, this kind of real estate focuses more on hiding the identity of the owner behind the scenes, and can also be used to protect public properties.

It is estimated that if the people of the Order of the Phoenix used formal means, they would not be sure who this house actually belongs to yet. They were able to find it probably by following Yaxley.

But the disadvantage of this kind of land deed is also very obvious, that is, it is too convenient to transfer. For example, now, if Anduin gets it, it will naturally be transferred to him.

Spreading out the land deed, Anduin channeled his magic power to his fingers and scratched the bottom of the land deed. Then the magic lines on the land deed flashed, and the magic circle on the land deed recorded the fluctuations of his magic power. In this way, the land was delivered.

It's done, very convenient.

"Although this kind of unsigned land deed is highly confidential, it is too easy to change the owner. If it is accidentally stolen, it will be very troublesome. It is better to take the time to go to the Ministry of Magic to convert this land deed into an exclusive land deed."

After collecting the land deed, Anduin made up his mind.

After collecting the land deed, he turned his attention to the key. It was brass in color and small in shape. There were three circular perforations on the handle. It looked like it could only open a small lock.

After he picked up the key and fiddled with it for a while, he didn't notice anything special. There was no magic wave on it, and the material was identified as just ordinary Paracer brass.

At a loss what to do, Anduin turned his head and looked at Karkaroff, held up the key and showed it: "Do you recognize this thing?"

"This is..." Karkaroff leaned his head closer for a closer look and replied with some uncertainty, "It looks a bit like Gringotts' vault key."

"Vault?" Anduin's eyes lit up. Yes, that makes sense why the key should be kept in such a tight safe.

"Yes, it seems to be the case. I had a similar one before." Karkaroff confirmed again.

"So with this key, you can directly access the corresponding vault?" Anduin asked quickly.

"I'm not sure." Karkaroff shook his head.

"Why?" Anduin frowned slightly.

"Master, you may not understand Gringotts' management of bank vaults. Their vaults have different security levels. Ordinary shallow vaults can be entered as long as you have a key, while some vaults require you to go in person in addition to the key.

, if I do not have to provide the permission certificate issued by the owner of the vault, the deeper vaults have higher security measures and even do not have keys. Not only do I have to go there myself, but I also need the touch of the corresponding goblin administrator to open it." Karkaroff broke his hands.

Finger explained everything to Anduin one by one.

"I see, then you can't determine what type of vault it corresponds to just by looking at the key." Anduin glanced at his mouth and said.

"Yes, only Travers may know this, but generally the vaults with keys are shallow vaults. With the power of the Travers family, it seems that there is no need for a vault with such a low security level.

They have a family vault deeper down, where only people of the corresponding bloodline can visit, and compared to Gringotts, Travers is more willing to keep things in his own vault. In fact, those big families do not completely trust Gringotts.

Lingge." Karkaroff explained respectfully.

"Oh, isn't it known as the safest place in the wizarding world?" Anduin raised his eyebrows.

"Gringotts may be safe, but the goblins are not necessarily safe. Many of those families with a long history participated in the famous goblin rebellion war. They and the goblins have never been able to maintain trust. After all, they were once enemies." Kaka

Love said.

"Understood, let's go up." Anduin ordered after listening to the explanation and clarifying his thoughts.

"It's master." Karkaroff responded flatteringly.

After leaving the basement, Anduin cast another spell on the wall to close the doorway, and at the same time enchanted it with a protective spell. After all, this would be his territory from now on.
