Chapter 690: It's Christmas Again: (Ask for Subscriptions, Ask for Collections, Ask for Tickets)

Today's news in the newspapers represents the end of an old era, at least in the past, Voldemort's side exerted a powerful influence on Gringotts through various means after taking control of the Ministry of Magic in London, England, but did not directly interfere in the inner workings of Gringotts as it does now, and even did things that completely destroyed the foundation stone of Gringotts.

You know, Gringotts has been able to stand for so many years not only because of the authorization of the Ministry of Magic. The most important thing about convincing these former elves and keeping their wealth in them is that the elves insist on maintaining the privacy of their guests and ensuring that they will not plot to make their wealth unhis.

Although humans and goblins have different perceptions of wealth ownership, goblins still respect human cognition when there is a serious disparity in power between the two sides. This also allowed Gringotts to rely on this credit for hundreds of years, and even monopolized the financial industry in the United Kingdom.

But now it's all over, just as the U.S. demanded that Swiss banks hand over depositors' accounts before Ryan's crossing, which caused the Swiss banking sector to be devastated. The Death Eaters' removal of gold from coffers that did not belong to them has also hit Gringotts hard, and from now on, Gringotts will lose its golden signboard and will not have the absolute advantage it once had.

However, this action also shows that Ryan's previous tactics have been successful, and the Death Eaters are now hoping to raise enough money to make up for the losses caused by the destruction of the manor, so as to stabilize the American wizards in order to obtain more resources.

"Oh, I don't know if I'm happy or sad right now. Hermione muttered quietly, only to be heard by Ryan next to her. So Ryan asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

"That's right. After discussing the previous matters, the people in the tent walked out of the tent one after another, taking away the two goblins who were crying and almost passed out. Hermione opened her mouth very dryly and said, "The losses of our side are indeed very large, but the mystery man is exchanging long-term benefits for short-term benefits, and from a certain point of view, this is conducive to the further tilt of the war advantage in our favor." ”

"Fortunately, we have introduced our own bank in advance, so the overall impact on us should not be large. Ryan calmly analyzed. "But the impact on the mysterious side may be great, don't forget that if you can confiscate our wealth there today, then tomorrow you will definitely be able to confiscate the wealth of others and even the Death Eaters, and to be honest, the Death Eaters have a lot more wealth than we do. ”

After stepping out of the tent, Ryan found that everyone was packing up the camp and preparing to evacuate. A guerrilla asked as he watched Ryan come out of the tent. "Commander, where are we going next?"

After hearing this, many wizards who were cleaning up also turned their eyes to Shi. Because of the previous consecutive wins, the morale of the whole team is very high, and everyone is eager to fight bravely under the leadership of Ryan.

"I guess we'll go back to Hogsmeade for a vacation today. Ryan said to everyone, "After all, we've been fighting for so long, and it's time to take a break." And I just read the newspaper, and the day after tomorrow should be Christmas. ”

"Is Christmas coming?" said many wizards, as they had been locked up in dungeons or on the run, even with Dementors. In this case, they had been living in a blur, and it was only after Ryan said it today that they realized that Christmas was coming.

"Great, home for Christmas. The wizards cheered quietly, and although they still had a strong fighting spirit and a strong will to fight, they still felt some fatigue from the previous consecutive battles. Therefore, for them, having a good rest and a chance to be with their families is definitely a piece of news that makes them happy.

So after getting the news of going home for Christmas, everyone's hands and feet are much sharper than before. Soon the entire camp was cleaned up, and after the previous patrol returned, everyone returned to Hogsmeade with the two elves.

"Ah, welcome, our heroes. "As soon as they arrived at the gate of Hogsmeade Town, Percy, who was the captain of the guard at the entrance of the town today, greeted them warmly. "By the way, why are you all here today?"

Ryan had sent people to deliver the loot and the rescued hostages after the battle, but never a group of them all returned. So Percy asked a little strangely when he saw a group of people.

"Oh, we're back for Christmas. Ryan explained, and Percy patted himself lightly on the forehead. "Oh my God, you're right, Christmas is coming up, I've been so busy lately that I've almost forgotten about it, it's so bad that my mom would have killed me if I hadn't remembered it todayβ€”by the way, what about those two goblins in your team?"

Percy asked after seeing the two goblins standing behind the crowd just now that everyone stopped them and didn't see them. "Is this the hostage you rescued from your previous raids? It feels like every time you come over, you always bring all sorts of people with you. ”

"No, they were just what we met on the road. "But they've been hunted by the Mysteries before, so we brought them here." ”

"In that case, you'd better take those two goblins to the Ministry of Magic. I think the staff at the Ministry of Magic should be able to arrange a suitable place for them to live. Percy said that by this time the others had also checked their passes. Seeing his companion's gesture, Percy made a gesture of please. "Merry Christmas to you guys!"

"The same goes for you. Ryan said, and then walked with everyone to the main road of the town. There are so many more people on the road now than before. There was even the kind of prosperity that existed during Hogsmeade days before the war. Because it had snowed the other day, there was a thick layer of snow all over the town.

The shops on both sides of the road and the road have a lot of Christmas decorations: people decorate the doors and windows of the shops with all kinds of shiny ornaments and mistletoe, and at the same time, various Christmas banners and garlands tied with branches are magically hung above the road, and some of the garlands are even magically enchanted, and he sings Christmas songs incessantly.

In addition, a variety of Christmas items appeared in the windows of many shops, and merchants were also engaged in corresponding activities. For example, Ryan saw the panda man in front of the bank, wearing a red and white Santa Claus costume, handing out candy to every wizard who passed by the bank. In short, the tension of the war in the whole town was much less, and everyone was immersed in the joy of the festival.

"I'll send these two goblins to the Ministry of Magic, after all, I know the people over there. Dirk Chryswell said that by this time the group had arrived in the middle of Hogsmeade, where a huge Christmas tree had been placed and a few children were having a snowball fight around the tree.

"Alright, then we all disband now, go home, and we'll contact you if anything. Ryan finished speaking to everyone and watched them leave, each wizard looking excited, except for the two elves, who looked like walking like a walking corpse to Dirk's magic steps up the hill.

"So where are we going now? Back to school. After watching everyone leave, Hermione turned her head and asked. "Ginny, they've written a lot of letters a while ago, and I'd love to meet them now. ”

"Let's go to the Weasley Joke Store for a while. Ryan suggested. "I heard that some time ago, the Weasleys prepared some special Christmas items, I want to go and see how those items are selling now?"
