Chapter 209: The Shadow of the Americans

"Okay, I'll think about ......"

Dumbledore rubbed his eyebrows, summoned a wooden chair and sat down in front of the two "Demon Kings", and said helplessly, "It all started this morning, when our Minister of Magic was blocked by a group of grumpy Gringotts goblins at the entrance of the Magic Department, and began to talk-"

"And then, Mr. Fudge took the Gringotts elves to Hogwarts to find you?" Elena interjected, raising an eyebrow.

Obviously, it is human nature to be able to lie down and win, and it is human nature to hug your thighs, and Connally Fudge, who can be called the most capable minister in the history of the Ministry of Magic, will naturally not carry the problem by himself.

Especially Albus Dumbledore, who has all kinds of aura and reputation, but he will not snatch any credit and political achievements.

"That's right. Dumbledore said, a smile on his face, "To be exact, this time it was the Gringotts elves who suggested it to Cornelius Fudge first. You know, since that rigorously written magical contract, goblins have generally become a little more polite when dealing with wizards in the wizarding world. Not to mention, most of the news coming these days is what we expected. ”

"It's a pity that you weren't the one who drafted that contract. Grindelwald grinned, "And...... You weren't the one who made the deduction, the Ministry of Magic and the goblins were clearly looking for the wrong person. ”

"A month ago, maybe it was. However, not necessarily now. ”

The old silver-bearded wizard blinked nimbly at Elena as he spoke, his azure eyes shining a smug look through his half-moon eyes.

"Sometimes, don't underestimate a wizard's intelligence and ability to learn. After all, when I was a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I was also a first-class honors student. Compared to arithmetic and astronomy, the knowledge related to finance is not so difficult to understand. ”

After identifying the knowledge gaps that needed to be filled, it was not too difficult for Albus Dumbledore to find some books on basic economics with his status in the wizarding world and his vast social circle.

After all, the stakes are high, and Dumbledore wouldn't really pin all his chips and hopes on a little girl who had been in school for less than a week, and he trusted his own judgment after thinking about it.

"So, Professor Dumbledore...... Do you want to say that you became a master economist in a month?" Elena raised her eyebrows, and her face seemed to be filled with four big words - [Bird Bow Hide]

"Of course not. ”

Dumbledore shook his head and replied mildly, "But, at least a month's time, can make me understand what the currency exchange rate is, and what the so-called short and long means...... and what a wonderful work of art the mortgage contract that Miss Kaslana signed. ”

"Remarkable. ”

Grindelwald, who was sitting on the side, crossed his two index fingers, gently tapped the protruding knot, and couldn't help but let out a sneer, "I actually heard a feeling of pride from your mouth?"

Dumbledore glanced at Grindelwald, a strange look in his eyes that bordered on pity.

"Being able to figure out what you're talking about is a great ability in itself – and most people can't do that, Gellert. Dumbledore shook his head and whispered.

"Albus, what do you mean?" Grindelwald frowned.

Without responding to Grindelwald's question, Dumbledore turned his head to look at Elena and said in a serious tone, "In the early hours of this morning, the elves of the North American branch of Gringotts Wizarding Bank announced that they would break away from Gringotts' original system and conduct separate financial settlements. For the elves, you know what that means. ”

"So, the Gringotts elves have split into two factions and are ready to go to war. ”

Elena shrugged her shoulders, looked up at Dumbledore with a serious expression, and shook her hands innocently, "Professor Dumbledore, you can't rely on me for this. The split between Gringotts in Europe and Gringotts in the Americas is definitely not an idea that has only appeared on the horizon this month, and it must have gone through a rather long process before that. ”

"Of course I understand that...... It's just that the focus of the wrestling between the goblins on both sides, and the fuse of all wars, happens to be a currency called rubles. ”

Dumbledore paused, his sharp gaze shining through the half-moon lenses on the little girl in front of him, and said meaningfully.

"With the entry of the funds of the Gringotts elves of North America, and the Magical Congress of the United States of America standing behind them. The ruble, which had been gradually starting to stabilize, has once again taken a sharp turn, and everything is exactly what you have done - not entirely correctly, but with very similar results. ”

"Wait, the Magical Congress of America?"

Hearing this word for the second time today, Elena narrowed her eyes slightly.

"What role does the American wizard play in this story? ”
