The Admiral of Hogwarts

No one discussed the origin of Thiago Quintana's, the wand-making master's, notebook. After all, Grindelwald had been active in the Americas for a long time, so it wasn't too surprising to find such a treasure.

But goblin silver was another matter entirely. This material, like the wizarding world's currency minting technology, was one of the goblins' most closely guarded secrets, and its presence here was clearly abnormal.

"There's nothing strange about it," Enterprise said after a moment's thought. "Grindelwald and the Purity Party were all staunch wizard supremacists. Do you think they would allow the goblins to keep such a valuable material for themselves?"

"However, wizarding currency involved not only the goblins but also the entire magical world. So, Grindelwald probably didn't want financial problems to arise before he controlled the wizarding world, so he naturally didn't target the currency."

"But goblin silver is another matter. This material is not only versatile and expensive but also unique to the goblins. So, even if he targeted it, it wouldn't have a serious impact on wizards."

"Moreover, when we were researching information earlier, we found records of the Purity Party attacking goblin settlements," Enterprise said, and Saint George immediately added,

"However, according to the records, the goblins didn't claim that anything was lost, so all of these incidents were classified as hate crimes."

"I can understand that," Hugo nodded after thinking for a moment. "Because the goblins' core business now is Gringotts, and for the financial industry, security is paramount."

"So, even if something was really stolen from those goblins, they wouldn't say it. Otherwise, it might trigger serious concerns about Gringotts' security."

"Your analysis should be correct, my dear Admiral," Illustrious said, after a small group of blood-red energy bats circled around her.

"At least, according to the information I got from my sisters, last year, when that noseless guy took a tour of Gringotts, it triggered a small-scale bank run at Gringotts in Britain."

"If the news that Grindelwald's Purity Party had successfully robbed them back then were to spread, it might have a serious impact on the goblin-controlled financial system worldwide."

"You should know that in that era, wizard supremacists were clearly on the rise because of Grindelwald. If the goblins were caught in a loophole in this regard, it could indeed severely damage the financial industry they controlled."

"But we've never heard of this before," Hugo frowned. "Grindelwald was a very clever man, and it seems abnormal to give up the opportunity to strike at the goblin forces at that time."

"I guess it must have been that the Purity Party exposed their identities when attacking goblin territory, so Grindelwald had to give up the opportunity after weighing the pros and cons," Enterprise analyzed simply.

"For Grindelwald, he was always trying to stand on the side of justice, or at least appear to be on the side of justice."

"For example, the Fiendfyre attack at Père Lachaise Cemetery was like that. He let the civilians leave before launching the attack. So, for wizards, it was just a normal conflict."

"In that era, many wizards were attracted to Grindelwald's ideology and believed that he was a great wizard with his own ideas and representing the interests of most wizards."

"And directly robbing goblin settlements is too infamous, it's an act that completely breaks the rules. So, I think he gave up the plan to frame the goblins when everyone was likely to associate him with robbers."

"In other words, those goblins are much more powerful than we thought," Hugo's thoughts ran elsewhere at this moment.

"If I remember correctly, the Purity Party's individual combat level was equivalent to that of the Death Eater elites under that noseless guy. Being able to force the elites among them to expose their identities during an operation is enough to illustrate the goblins' power."

"Rowling is, after all, a writer, and her understanding of this world may not be very deep," Indomitable said with a playful smile while looking at information about goblin silver.

"In fact, goblin magic as a whole is not inferior to wizard magic, except that their respective focuses are different, and goblins are forbidden from using wands."

"At least, I can see from this document, which is called a technical document, but at least 80% of the content is a description of goblin magic. Their magic level is rough, but it's not without its merits."

"Is that all there is to their basic magic?" Hugo stared wide-eyed at the not-so-thick golden booklet.

"In terms of quantity, there isn't much, because they only guide the magic power in their bodies through a method that they think will achieve the purpose they want to achieve, so it's enough to understand the most basic magic power guidance part."

Speaking of this, Indomitable showed a depressed expression.

"This casting method is actually the same principle as when wizards occasionally experience magic surges when they haven't received any magical training, but perhaps due to racial differences, goblins can control their magic power, while humans basically can't."

"This is also an important reason why those goblins can monopolize these technologies. For wizards, this is an insurmountable technological gap."

Hugo didn't find such a result strange. At least, from his own head of house, Professor Flitwick, he could see that goblins were very powerful in casting abilities, and this ability came from their racial talent.

Although wizards possess powerful strength and rich knowledge and stand at the top of the magic world's pyramid in the competition of species, this doesn't mean that they are superior to other creatures in every aspect of magic.

To give a simple example, a big reason why the various races that exist in the magical world today have survived to this day is that each of them possesses some talents that humans simply cannot master.

For example, the giants' powerful strength and magic resistance, the goblins' various crafts, the Diricawl's rapid spatial transfer, and even the phoenix's rebirth.

"In other words, this technology is of little use to us, right?" After listening to Indomitable's words, Hugo looked at her and asked.

"Wrong, on the contrary, only we can use this technology," Indomitable said, beaming.

"Because although we can cast spells like wizards in ordinary times, our instinctive way of casting spells is closer to the simple application of magic power like the gnomes, so as long as we open the ship equipment and enter combat mode, we can imitate the state of these goblins casting spells in ordinary times."

"Of course, here, imitation only refers to the directional imitation of the major aspect of casting methods. And if we want to completely imitate, we need to slowly try and explore."

"You don't need to rush on this point," Hugo shook his hand and said.

"It's good to have hope, as for the matter of producing results, there's no need to rush too much. After all, we have a lot of things on hand right now and don't have much energy to deal with this aspect of things for the time being."
