Chapter 1792 A War Without Winners (Two Hundred and Forty-Two)

"He's gone!"

The next morning, Percy, who had received a letter from the house-elf Carla, knocked on the door of the Minister of Magic's office as soon as he got to work, ready to tell Kingsley, who was reviewing documents inside, the good news.

When Kingsley behind the desk put down his quill and looked up at the door, Percy took the opportunity to step forward and put the envelope in his robe pocket on the desk in front of Kingsley.

"The Albert family left overnight last night, obviously not wanting to get involved in the trouble that follows. This is the letter he asked the house-elf to leave for you before he left!"

Kingsley opened the letter directly, glanced at the contents on the parchment, his eyes widened, and he held the letter in his hand and muttered, "It's just like what he would do."

In fact, Percy was very curious about the contents of the letter, which actually caused Kingsley to have such a big reaction, but he also knew that some things were not suitable to ask more.

"Let someone spread the news. I think the goblins can't wait any longer!"

After burning the letter he had read, Kingsley looked up and said to Percy, "Also, notify Director Gadwin to come to the meeting. I think the time has come."

While he was talking, Kingsley had stood up from his seat and walked to the wooden cabinet on the right to look for the previously saved folder. That was the preparatory plan for the goblin rebellion they had prepared a few months ago.

Although Kingsley couldn't understand why Albert asked him to wait until he left the UK before completely detonating the goblin rebellion, as one of the additional conditions for not asking the Ministry of Magic directly for Voldemort's bounty, Kingsley finally did not choose to break the agreement between the two parties, even if it was just a verbal agreement, even if many people had reminded him that he should not miss the opportunity, but Kingsley finally adhered to the agreement between the two parties, because his intuition told him that it was better not to break the contract actively.

In fact, in the eyes of government officials, such contracts can be torn up directly when necessary, not to mention verbal contracts, which are shit.

But Kingsley still did it, because he knew that if he ignored the contract, the friendship that was not much would come to an end.

This was definitely not a good thing. Albert was as generous to his friends as he was to his enemies. Kingsley had witnessed how Albert's enemies died.

He never thought that Albert would treat "traitors" any better.

Maintaining this pretty good friendship was beneficial to both parties.

He did receive a reward, which was the previous letter, which was a reminder and warning to him.

If he had dared to violate the verbal agreement before, the terrible consequences that might have occurred made Kingsley shudder.

However, the whole thing was also weird when he thought about it, as if everything was within his expectations.

Is this the weight of the "Master of Prophecy"?

In fact, Kingsley, no, it should be said that the entire Ministry of Magic has been very surprised that the goblins were also restrained and trying to limit the conflict to a limited scope. This is also the main reason why the third goblin rebellion has not yet broken out.

They all doubted whether Albert had done anything, but considering Albert's character, since he didn't want to be involved, he obviously wouldn't do anything unnecessary.

So, the final conclusion everyone came to was Albert's influence. The goblins obviously didn't want to provoke a powerful enemy for themselves. Look at what he did in the final battle!

Cruelly and ruthlessly slaughtered a large number of werewolves and giants. (Although Albert didn't do it himself, the goblins felt that most of the blame had to be put on him. Not only the goblins thought so, but the Ministry of Magic also thought so)

In order to possibly involve Albert in this war, the goblins thought it would be better to wait for him to leave Britain before setting off the war.

Shortly after Percy left, Kingsley held an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with the goblin rebellion that might be triggered later, just like before.

The method was also very simple.

Announced that the ninth round of negotiations would be held with the Goblin Brotherhood.

Everyone knew whether the negotiations would have any results.

That was actually just a signal, a signal to completely set off the conflict. After all, a reason was needed for the conflict between the two sides to completely break out.

As for the goblins, they were already prepared, so were they?

As it turned out, the goblins were also very tacit. After learning that Albert had started to travel around the world, they realized that their chance had come.

As for the so-called ninth round of negotiations by the Ministry of Magic, after the goblins received this signal, they directly rejected the negotiations on the grounds that the Ministry of Magic was not sincere. The leader of the Goblin Brotherhood, Cross-Eyed Bodrick, sharply accused the wizards of persecuting the goblins and secretly trying to control Gringotts.

Please collect it_()

Faced with the unreasonable accusations of the goblins, the Ministry of Magic immediately announced through the Daily Prophet that the ninth round of negotiations with the goblins had completely failed, and also hinted in the newspaper that there would probably be a third goblin rebellion next.

The relationship between goblins and wizards is deteriorating at a speed that surprises everyone. How could anyone imagine that the two sides who were willing to restrain each other before would completely tear off their faces like this?

People soon found the reason in the Defense Express magazine: Albert Anderson and his family had recently left the UK to start their journey around the world.

So, the goblins stop pretending?

In terms of public opinion, the goblins, who had no channels in this regard, suffered a loss in this regard, leading many wizards to believe that the goblins deliberately provoked the incident to trigger the third goblin rebellion after Albert left the UK, and all the evidence did point to this.

Until a direct conflict between goblins and wizards, which resulted in the death of an Auror and several goblins from the Goblin Brotherhood in this conflict, the wizards truly realized that the third goblin rebellion was inevitable.

According to the recollections of Harry Potter, a participant in this action!

The Goblin Brotherhood had already made preparations in advance. When they were no longer restrained as before, they took action without mercy, resulting in casualties on the Aurors' side.

But the Ministry of Magic seemed to have expected it, so it retaliated against the goblins as soon as casualties occurred on its side.

The Ministry of Magic also reacted very quickly afterwards, directly declaring the Goblin Brotherhood illegal, and pointed out that this organization was very likely controlled by some goblins, and the target was Gringotts, because of the persecution of goblins during Voldemort's reign, and the goblins put the blame on the British wizards who were also victims.

For a while, the atmosphere became tense. Although the Ministry of Magic did not directly take action against Gringotts, everyone realized that the third goblin rebellion had completely broken out.
