The Trinity of Harry Potter

"Is this an underground vault?"

"Yes, this is... the underground vault of HSBC Bank, which is usually guarded by only two wizards." Scrimgeour looked at the corpse covered with white cloth on the ground, "They only had time to send a signal, and then they were killed by Voldemort."

"Where's the loss?" Kano asked quickly.

Gold is cast into Galleons by goblins in the wizarding world and is used as currency. In the world of ordinary people, since gold was decoupled from the US dollar in the 1970s, it has gradually withdrawn from circulation and is mainly used as a national reserve.

exist.

There are seven underground vaults in London, which contain not only Britain's own gold, but also a large number of gold reserves from other countries.

If Voldemort really eliminates one of the nests one by one, the impact on the world economy will be immeasurable.

"The loss is not big."

Kano rolled his eyes: "Yes, the loss is not big. No matter what Voldemort says, this statement must be rejected to the outside world."

The Federal Reserve’s underground vault has never been audited, nor has it been subject to investigation. It brags that the gold stored in other countries is still there, so who can do anything to it?

"To be honest, the loss is really not big." Scrimgeour said with a wry smile, "The vault is different from Gringotts. No one usually comes here to withdraw money using a small bag with a traceless stretching charm. So in Ma

There are magic circles engraved in the melon treasury, and space magic and equipment cannot be used."

"This was set up by the Ministry of Magic hundreds of years ago, and it has been maintained continuously for so many years."

"So Voldemort and the two Death Eaters ran away with the gold bricks?" Kano thought of that weird scene. The image of Voldemort inexplicably overlapped with the hamster in the Black Cat Sheriff cartoon of his childhood.

"Only two Death Eaters ran away with a few gold bricks." Dumbledore finally stood up, his face pale, "Voldemort and I had another fight."

"How about this time?"

"I'm slightly at a disadvantage." Dumbledore shook his head, "I'm getting weaker and he's getting stronger. If we fight each other two or three more times, I won't be able to stop him."

"How are you doing there?"

"It has just been completed. I will be able to return to the UK around the day after tomorrow." Kano sighed, "Are the documents ready?"

"I've never seen anyone need to sign such a document, but I'm indeed ready." Scrimgeour said, "I've also got the documents from the Queen. Now it's time to send your people."

A few people exchanged a few words and hung up the communication.

"Has the situation worsened again?" Furong asked with concern.

"Yes, Voldemort's brain has opened up." Kano nodded helplessly.

The worst thing about Voldemort's attack this time was that his thinking broadened.

Not every underground vault is guarded by wizards, and there are also magic circles that prohibit space equipment.

If that doesn't work, he can also use the Imperius Curse to manipulate the staff and transport the gold out of the country in an open and honest manner.

People like Voldemort don't need anyone to teach them when they do bad things.

"Besides, Muggles still have paper money. What if Voldemort steals the money?" Fleur was a little worried, "These pieces of paper are always transported around in cars, so there is no way to protect them."

Kano didn't care: "Even if the banknotes are robbed, you can't buy things like potion materials in the world of ordinary people."

"Can't these notes be exchanged for Galleons at Gringotts?"

"The goblins have signed a magic contract with the government, and there is a limit on the amount of money that can be exchanged between the two currencies each year." Kano explained, "My classmate Hermione comes from a family of dentists. Her parents wanted to give her a gift when she was in second grade.

Deposited a large sum of money at Gringotts, but was rejected by the goblins."

"Because they want to exchange almost half of their net worth into galleons, which will squeeze the exchange share of other parents of little wizards."

Fleur nodded thoughtfully: "In this case, there is only gold. Can it be circulated directly between the two worlds without processing?"

"Gold is naturally currency, but currency is not necessarily gold." Cano sighed, "I think we will soon hear the news that the treasury of a small country has been wiped out."

At this time, Lucius was sitting in Gringotts' office.

There were seven or eight gold bricks placed in front of him, with serial numbers and bank emblems clearly marked on them, and with bright red blood stains on them.

But the goblins turned a blind eye to this, busy testing the purity of the gold, and finally looked at each other and nodded.

"We can purchase this batch of gold." An old goblin said in a hoarse voice, "But the purchase price will not be very high."

After hearing their quotation, Lucius got up in anger.

"You are robbing!"

The old goblin smiled gloomily and said, "We all know who is robbing."

"This gold cannot be exchanged at all in the Muggle world, but in the wizarding world, only we elves have the technology to melt gold into galleons."

"If you don't want to, you can go out of this door, find other pure-blood wizards, and use these gold bricks to exchange for galleons with them."

"But you have to remember." The old goblin knocked on the gold brick, "We don't recognize this thing. It is not money in the wizarding world."

"When the time comes, if someone comes to your door, don't blame me."

Lucius snorted coldly and sat down again.

If the goblins don't want the gold bricks, no pure-blood family will take over. They have to suffer this loss, and Voldemort knows this very well.

He just told Lucius that if he could get a better purchase price, he could take a cut of it.

Lucius spent a lot of money to go out, and saw that his cash flow was almost cut off. Now that he can finally make some money, of course he has to negotiate the price with the goblins.

Scrimgeour was sitting in another office at this time. The tea cup was smashed on the expensive Persian carpet, and the Darjeeling black tea inside printed a dark color on it.

"Are you sure you want to acquire those stolen goods?"

"What stolen goods? Those things are just gold." The old goblin continued the work at hand calmly, turning a blind eye to Scrimgeour's anger.

"If you do this, it will cause a serious conflict between wizards and Muggles. If a war breaks out between the two, can you bear this responsibility?" Scrimgeour clenched the wand in his pocket and stood up.

"We just open a bank, and Gringotts has never accepted the control of wizards."

"There are countless underground vaults under our feet. At least half of the things in them have unknown origins. Almost every gold galleon is stained with blood."

"But they are not stolen goods. In Gringotts, there is no such concept."

The old goblin seemed to have remembered something and raised his head with a smile: "You can also ask Muggle banks to open exchanges and use their paper money to exchange for these gold bricks."

"We also want to play in the Muggle stock market, but unfortunately the current capital is too small."

"You are playing with fire, goblins." Scrimgeour said coldly and turned to leave.

The old goblin did not get up to say goodbye, but continued to lower his head and write something.

"The time to completely break away from the control of wizards may soon come."
