"Tell us about yourselves and why you're here. After a hasty breakfast, Ryan began to inquire about the two goblins that had been caught. "If I'm not mistaken, you're either counting gold at Gringotts or mining all sorts of ores in your underground mines to craft magic items. So I'm curious why I'm meeting you in this place today. ”

"My name is Gonuk, and the guy next to me is called Ra Ring. Seriously, we don't want to do that, it's better for us to listen to the tumbling of gold coins in the vault or to stand by a blazing fire than to wander around in the wilderness like this. The goblin with a loud voice said. "But right now, our lives are in danger, so we have to wander around like this. ”

"What are you kidding?" said one of the partisans who was listening nearby, "if I'm not mistaken, the goblins are generally supporters of the mysteries." Just like now, your Gringotts has basically stopped serving us. In fact, Gringotts has now become a financial institution dedicated to the mystery man's side. ”

"You're mistaken," said the goblin in a low voice, "we don't take sides, it's a wizard's war. ”

"But why are you actually on the side of the mystery man?" Dirk asked. "From my previous experience, it is true that you did not favor anyone in the past, as you just said. But now, from a factual point of view, you Gringotts have indeed become an accomplice of the Mystic and the Ministry of Magic in London. ”

"It's just a part of the goblins. The goblin named Gonuk said, looking angry as well. "I had previously refused a request that I considered rude, and naturally my personal safety was in danger. But even if it were, I would stick to my point. ”

"Unreasonable demands. Ryan asked, curiously. "What kind of request would make you so firm in refusing?"

"Something disproportionate to my racial dignity," replied the elf, his voice rougher and less human, "I am not a house-elf, and I will not grovel to wizards. ”

"What about you?" Ryan turned to look at the other goblin after listening to Gonouk's words, although he had never seen this goblin, but he knew that this goblin should be the one who took Harry to get the Philosopher's Stone, thinking that he could go down to the vault with the highest level of secrecy at that time, he should also be a high-ranking staff member of Gringotts, and it was even likely to be a core member of Gringotts.

"For similar reasons," Rachel said, "Gringotts is no longer controlled by my race alone. I don't recognize the wizard as my master. Naturally, they will be hunted down, and the pursuers will be in addition to the Death Eaters, and there will be some members of our clan. ”

"Yes, if it weren't for those who disagree with us, we would have even been able to live in the Elven Crypt instead of wandering around like we are now. Gonuk looked furious. "You know, even when the elves were at their worst, no one could break into the elf crypt. ”

"This means that now the Ministry of Magic in London, the Death Eaters or the Mysteries now control Gringotts in England. Hermione quickly sorted out an important piece of information from the words of the two elves. "And the vast majority of goblins have chosen to cooperate, and those like you who don't want to cooperate can only go into exile. ”

"Hermione is right, though you probably don't want to hear that. Seeing that the goblin wanted to say something, Ryan interrupted with a hand outstretched. "If it weren't for the goblins who advocated working with the Death Eaters, you wouldn't be in exile right now. ”

"People with wands, there are some things you don't understand. "For us, maintaining independence and freedom is the most important thing, and there will always be sacrifices in the process." As much as I hate the goblins who kicked us out, I know why they did it. ”

Ryan immediately knew what the British goblins were thinking, Gringotts didn't want to lose a lot of money against Voldemort, but they also didn't want to give the outside world the feeling that the goblins were weak and bullied.

In this case, it was a last resort for them to maintain control of Gringotts at the cost of some elves, and of course, the elves dared to do so because they believed that the group of Death Eaters would not have the strength and knowledge to take over the complicated business of Gringotts in a short period of time. For the elves, no matter who comes to power, Gringotts elves are indispensable.

And this time, the goblins threw out as scapegoats were naturally the extremists in Gringotts. Their previous contempt for wizards allowed them to be cleared by Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

After all, as the Death Eaters were always accustomed to, this non-human, intelligent creature was itself at the bottom of the chain of contempt. And this elf who refuses to kneel down and lick their toes must be the priority to eliminate.

Gringotts naturally won't put everyone in trouble because of some people, so naturally they kicked out this group of extremists. Even in order to show that he had nothing to do with them, he sent a part of the goblins to hunt them down.

"What does that mean, man with a wand?" asked one of the guerrillas as Ryan pondered. At the same time, the surrounding guerrillas all showed listening expressions, after all, most of the wizards here were hemp or half-bloods who grew up in the Muggle world, and they really didn't know some common sense in the wizarding world. Not to mention that most people who grew up in the wizarding world don't know this knowledge point now.

"The right to wand," the elf didn't seem shy about sharing the meaning of the word with others. He whispered, "It's the wizards and goblins that have been fighting for a long time. ”

"To be precise, wizards and goblins in European culture have been fighting for a long time. Hermione added, "As far as I know, wizards in Africa don't use wands, and the intelligent creatures of the Celestial Empire tend to have their own spellcasting items. ”

"Besides, elves can cast spells without a wand. Someone next to him said, "No wand is not in the way of your life. ”

"Don't mention it. "Only the wizards of Europe and the Americas will refuse to allow other magical creatures to share the secrets of wand learning, and prevent us from expanding our power!"

"Speaking of secrets, isn't the blockade of knowledge mutual?" Ryan asked, "In the Celestial Empire, those intelligent creatures have obtained the knowledge of human spell casting and the secret of how to make spell casting props through knowledge exchange with human wizards, and you goblins are unwilling to pay anything and just want to get it for free." ”

"yes, and the goblins won't reveal their magic. Dirk Chryswell, who was previously the head of the Elven Liaison Office, said. "They also never told us how to make swords and armor. A special method of forging metal from the elves, and even the casting method of Galleons. You must know that the pandas of the Celestial Empire were very generous in sharing with us the manufacturing method of the new galleon as soon as they established the bank. ”

"Shut up," the anger in Ra Ring's eyes now looked like it was about to burn down the entire tent. "What's the difference between you and the Dark Lord, both trying to stand firmer over us and take over what we have. ”

"Hehe, your thing—" Dirk also looked furious. "The rightful owner of anything is its maker, not the purchaser. Everything that the goblins make, in the eyes of the goblins, rightfully belongs to them. Even if the wizard had paid for it, the goblins would have thought it was rented by the payer. It is believed that when the original purchaser dies, the thing should be returned to the goblin. And passing from wizard to wizard without paying anymore is no better than stealing. ”

The tent immediately resounded with the sound of ear to ear, although most of the wizards here did not have goblin products as luxury items in the wizarding world, but according to the general opinion, they felt that the elves' definition of their own things was unacceptable to them.

Just as the two elves were about to erupt, Rose Crystal flew in from outside, holding a few newspapers in her hands. Soon, she bypassed the others and whispered a few words in Ryan's ear.

Ryan's eyes widened instantly, and then he took the newspaper and looked at it carefully. After reading the newspaper, he raised his head and looked at the two goblins in front of him who were flushed with anger and said, "Just now you were talking about the independence and freedom of the elves, but now it seems that this is not the case. ”
