Chapter 146: Target Gringotts
They exchanged pleasantries and quickly cut to the chase. The purpose of Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Phoenix's visit this time is naturally to sneak into Gringotts. Currently, Gringotts is heavily guarded, and only on the streets of Diagon Alley, the Ministry of Magic search and arrest team is constantly patrolling everywhere. Even ordinary wizards are not easy to go to the bank to withdraw money, and impersonation should be more cautious, otherwise they will clash with the search team before they enter Gringotts.
"It's a group of people who frequented Gringotts. Fred pulled out a bag of brown paper, "They all have some connection to the Death Eaters, and the search party doesn't dare to stop or blackmail them." ”
"But it's not easy to get their hair. George said.
"They usually apparition directly to a place less than a hundred meters from Gringotts, where there are guards. ”
Phoenix took the vellum paper and opened it to see that there were many more documents inside than it looked on the outside.
"It seems that you know very well in your hearts that I let you open a shop next to Gringotts. ”
"It's too obvious," Fred said with a rare serious face, "though. Harry is not yet an adult, and it is too risky for you to infiltrate Gringotts. ”
"Rest assured, it will take us a while to prepare. "We need some guidance and help from professionals, and Gringotts is not a Filch office." ”
Once they got the information they needed, they immediately got up and left. Before leaving, Phoenix asked them to carefully observe the scope and time of the patrol.
They walked through the foggy streets of London in Harry's cloak of invisibility, and the empty roads were silent.
"Have you figured out how to get into Gringotts?" asked Hermione, playing with his arm, whispering.
"Pick the right person," Phoenix said, raising the cowhide bag, "but what kind of person is suitable has to be decided by professionals." ”
"But what do I think of that goblin—what do you say?" Hermione paused, "with bad intentions. ”
"Fairies, it's normal. "For many centuries, wizards and goblins have had conflicts—all of which you can learn from the history of magic." There are always elves who believe that they should not be in a position to be dominated, and they always try to rebel, almost every few hundred years. I command Gorlada to serve us, to help us - it will not be pleased. ”
Phoenix stopped, clasped Hermione's hands with his left hand, and apparition shifted with a 'poof'. When they reappeared, they were already on the coast.
There's still a faint fog here, but the French Ministry of Magic isn't doing nothing, at least there's little chance of being attacked by Dementors here. A large tent shaped like a miniature castle stands alone on a cliff overlooking the sea.
The constant sound of the ebb and flow of the tide, like the breath of some giant monster while sleeping, hides behind the fog and waits for an opportunity.
Harry jumped to his feet with a bang on the front door, and the elf sitting across from him crept under the table.
"Who is it?" called Hariel.
"It's me, Phoenix!" a voice shouted helplessly. "My magical Animagus form is a phoenix - it seems like too many people know about it. ”
"Say something that only you know. Hermione's voice rang out outside the door.
"It doesn't seem to be, otherwise you might as well come. "Phoenix really can't think of anything that only the two of them know.
"You have to come, Harry won't be able to return home for a long time. It's just the two of us, and I can't just ask questions every time. Hermione said.
"That's good," Phoenix cheered, "I can ask you questions, and I'll find that I remember everything you say." ”
"Hah," Hermione pretended to cross, "I found out that wasn't like this, when did it become—"
"You'd better come in," Harry reluctantly opened the door, interrupting the two, "got it?"
"Of course. Phoenix handed Harry the leash.
This is not the same as the one in the Quidditch Final. It's a little more miniature, anyway, there are only three of them plus a goblin. The kitchen and bathroom are very warmly furnished, but the decoration is too classical. No way, this is what Phoenix's parents used when they were young, and no one has used it for a long time, and the home style is still stuck in the last century.
"You didn't try to clean up," Phoenix said, looking at the messy living room, "My parents weren't very good at tidying up the house. ”
"I'll clean up in a moment, should we get started?" Hermione said to the elves.
Its name is Boris, and he is a senior advisor to Gringotts in Portugal. He had a long beard that hung almost down to his feet and wore a pair of sophisticated monocles.
Boris is particularly outstanding among the goblins working at Gringotts, and is also the head of the goblin rebellion. This is also the reason why Phoenix chose it, taking advantage of the opportunity to eliminate Voldemort, not only to take back control of the British region. By the way, clean up the restless goblins in Gringotts.
Ever since the goblins were enslaved by the wizards, they have not given up resistance. There have been several large-scale rebellions with international linkages. Many wizards demand the execution of all goblins, but this is impossible.
The finances of the wizarding world are tied to the elves, and their magic ensures that the currency cannot be copied by unscrupulous wizards. The quality of the swords and armor made by the wizards is a far cry from that made by the elves. A special method of forging metal by goblins that wizards have never cracked.
What's more, families like Peverell now have vested interests. They don't like to change anything, at least they don't completely abandon the goblins until they can't do anything.
"yes, let's talk about it. Phoenix pulled out his chair and sat down, and all three looked at Boris.
"How many digits are you going to?" Boris said slowly.
Harry and Hermione looked at each other quizzically.
"Three digits," Phoenix said with certainty, "is the Lestrange family's vault, and I guess there will be some extra protection in addition to the best protection Gringotts provides." ”
Boris looked at Harry, Hermione, and Phoenix with black eyes, and then returned to Phoenix.
The goblin wrenched his beard with his fingers.
"That's troublesome, very tricky. Boris said, "The Lestrange family, I remember it's dead, isn't it?"
Phoenix couldn't deny that his deaths were indirectly caused by him - at least he wouldn't have considered that role when planning the Ministry's operations.
"I think Voldemort may have said hello to Gringotts in England, and Lestrange's vault should be frozen. "Phoenix crossed his hands and rested his head on them.
"Let's get over Gringotts before we talk about anything else," Boris said to them, "the treasures of the oldest wizarding families are stored on the deepest level, where the coffers are the largest and best protected. ”
For the next few days, Phoenix was looking for an excuse to escape from his cabin, and when he was lazy—basically covering most of the day—he would be on the clifftop with the vastness of the sky, the empty sea, and the feeling of the cold, salty sea breeze on his cheeks.
Humming a little song that no one has ever heard, drinking mead to enjoy himself.
