Chapter 539: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea

Without much time for Leos to react, two goblin executioners appeared, along with a magical minecart that came from the darkness along the tracks, and Leos slipped into the cart without changing his face, one of Heliopa sat in the front row, and the other sat next to him, and the long scythe in his hand tapped lightly on the carriage.

The nameless Heliopa let out a muffled sound like coal rubbing against metal.

"Gringotts Vault 997 – Clean-up. ”

Then, the magic minecart suddenly started, getting faster and faster, turning around along the labyrinthine corridor, the clatter of the car mixed with the sound of the wind whistling in the tunnel, as if it were walking through the belly of a giant beast.

Leos looked silently at the receding stalactites above his head, and began to wonder if he would be crowned the "stupidest elder Gringotts has ever seen" after his death—perhaps without doubt, whether he succeeded or not, this would be his end, which had been determined during the first discussion.

Soon, they descended deep underground into Gringotts, and the magic minecart stopped at the door of the "Goblin Prison".

In the middle of the road leading to this special vault, a curtain of water poured onto the ground with a clatter.

This is Gringotts' proudest magic warning mechanism, "Thief Falls", which will wash away all spells, all magic disguises, and once the intruder is not authorized, the Gringotts Wizard Bank above will directly activate the defense mechanism.

And behind the never-ending curtain of water is the "goblin prison" where Douglas and others are held.

Leos stepped out of the magic minecart and took a deep breath through the curtain of water, thankfully the pale pink lady's purse was still lying quietly in his coat, untouched...... As for the two Heliopa, they had already walked outside the door at this time, touched the metal door, and began to communicate with the internal guards to open the door.

The old goblin exhaled lightly - the last level, passed without a hitch.

As a secret prison at the heart of Gringotts, the protection measures here are already quite tight, and with the increase in the number of "prisoners" in recent months, the Council of Elders of the Goblin has sent additional personnel to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Leos and two Heliopa walked through the gate and inside, secretly counting the number of guards in scarlet uniforms.

The magic torch around has been lit, and all the "prisoners" have gathered in the center of the vault, including the former head of the venture capital department, Douglas, the deputy head of the department, Bogo, and the rest of the core managers of the venture capital department, most of whom are responsible for the work of the Gringotts venture capital department in various areas and belong to the die-hard elite of the Douglas faction.

And, of course, the "interns" Gary Vickers and Serkis, who accidentally got hit by the pond fish.

Floating in front of all the goblins was an execution decision signed directly by the Elf Elders, which was filled with thirteen dragon flying phoenix dance flower signatures, each of which had a shallow magical brilliance.

Douglas just glanced at the execution book, then looked at the old goblin standing not far in front of him, and asked calmly.

"So, is that the end of it?"

These days, he had imagined countless times how to convince the Presbyterian Church, how to navigate the desperate situation that followed, how to expose the impending crisis facing Gringotts, and how to sound the alarm with his last voice......

However, Douglas only waited for the decision to be secretly executed.

Obviously, the old guys in the Gringotts Elven Council of Elders weren't going to give him this chance.

In the past few months, the deputy head of the venture capital department, who had lost almost a circle, glanced at the parchment in front of him again, frowned, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said softly as he had predicted in his mind before.

"Dear Elder Leos, I accept all the punishments of the Council of Elders...... However, I would like you to give me fifteen minutes to report on some of the conclusions that the Venture Capital Department has come to in the past few years. Even if—"

"As your former student and deputy, one last request......"

"Unfortunately, time is limited. ”

Leos grinned and shook his head regretfully, "Besides, I don't think you can provide much useful information, so why don't you listen to my old fellow's chatter one last time?"

With that, Leos turned his head and glanced at the two elven executioners standing beside him.

The two Haliopa exchanged glances, nodded their heads, and said in a muffled voice.

"Ten minutes at most, that's what the Great Elder requested. ”

"Ten minutes? It doesn't take that long, it's just a few words. ”

Leos leaned on his cane, waved his hand, and walked up to Douglas, looking at the middle-aged goblin he had single-handedly pulled and cultivated, with a hint of reluctance and complexity in his eyes.

"What you want to say is nothing more than a run crisis, a wrong time to enter the game, this is a doomed financial war that will drag Gringotts into a vortex of catastrophe...... I think there might be some wizarding conspiracy, the stupidity and corruption of non-magical governments...... Oh, by the way, and the greed and madness of the Presbyterians, heh......"

Leos chuckled, his wizened fingers poking at the roll of parchment floating beside Douglas.

"I already knew all of this, even before you knew it...... If you have to say it, it was about four or five months ago, yes, you were right...... The goblins are on their way to destruction......"

"So, those guys in the Americas chose to betray, lick the boots of wizards, and voluntarily surrender to the Magical Congress of America in the hope of having a chance to become the second house-elf - after all, we still have some merit in settling accounts and crafting magical weapons, don't we......"

An ugly smile twriggled into the old elven elder's wrinkled face as he continued.

"Goblins are no match for wizards after all. This era is already for human beings, and whether it is ultimately the non-magical world, or the magical world that controls the world, it may be difficult for us to have a foothold - in a few hundred years, or even thousands of years, all magical creatures will be reduced to animals, like a captive baby, or a fire dragon that has become a beast. ”

"Is this what the Council of Elders thinks, the last one is all or nothing......"

Douglas laughed out loud with sarcasm on his face, disappointment written in his eyes.

"yes. Leos nodded calmly, his gaze brushing over the goblins around him, "Only a traitor would betray the interests of Gringotts and the elves, betray the Council of Elders, betray Gringotts, defect to a certain half-breed little girl, and perpetuate the existence of the elves at a price that is unacceptable to various elf traditions, and you ...... It's the few traitors I found in Gringotts. ”

The old goblin's voice was not high, however, with Leos's words, the entire vault fell silent in an instant.

Perhaps the two Heliopa, who were the executioners, could not understand the meaning of Leos's words for the time being, but these elite goblins, who had been trained in the venture capital department for decades, could vaguely hear the deep meaning of Leos's words.

In particular, there seems to be the silver-white shadow called Elena Kaslana, the beginning of all events.

"Teacher, we are about to be executed......

After a long silence, Douglas shook the picture and said slowly.

As the entire vault suddenly fell into silence, the two executioners finally sensed that something was wrong, clenched the scythe in their hands, looked cautiously at the goblins standing not far away, and walked over quickly.

"Elder Leos, it's time to step back......"

"There is no eternal existence in this world, every living being has a day to pass away, and no one is an exception. Merely...... For you, not today. ”

Leos shook his head, smiled in pain, and pulled a pink women's purse from his bosom, sending waves of magic ripple.

"You know, this Muggle packet cost me thirty silver......

"Damn, Leos, what do you want to do?!"

The two Helliopa goblins' faces changed, flames suddenly rose from their bodies, and they quickly flew forward.

However, before the executioners could get closer, Elder Leos turned around and opened the pale pink lady's purse, shaking it to the side, as if two fiery flames were burning in his eyes.

"Keep your promises, devils from Destiny!

The next moment, accompanied by several dazzling magical beams, and a clear and loud spell sound.

"Forget it!"

"There are many obstacles!"

"Faint!"

Several wizards appeared in the vault deep in Gringotts, led by a young man with wavy blonde hair, wearing a robe as blue as a forget-me-not flower, and a hearty smile.

"Oops, I didn't expect there to be this kind of mutant goblin that can be on fire, I will definitely be able to ...... in my next book"

The wizard said with a half-joking smile as he nonchalantly raised his wand and nimbly pointed at the Heliopa who pounced on his right.

"Forget it!"
