In the wizarding world, especially in the British wizarding world, it is not easy to maintain the nobility and purity of blood.

Most pure-blood magical families are related to each other, after all, if a wizard only wants their children to marry pure-bloods, then they have a very limited choice.

Because of this, with the exception of the Holy Twenty-Eight, who are still ancient and noble to the point of extinction, many wizarding families have gradually begun to compromise, and although many wizards are still resistant to marrying Muggles, as long as the other half is a wizard - whether a half-blood wizard or a hemp wizard - it is barely acceptable.

However, in the context of this era, the in-law relationship between wizards in the wizarding world is still quite strong.

Mrs. Weasley, for example, is actually Sirius Black's cousin, and Lucius Malfoy is Sirius Black's cousin-in-law, although neither of them appears in each other's family profiles.

"You know what, Bogo...... What is really fatal is this sentence. ”

Douglas the fairy flicked the cigar in his hand and whispered a sentence on the parchment in front of him.

"For all Wizards who have run out of times, every time you successfully invite ten Wizards to invest, you will get an additional investment opportunity...... That's what's really scary. The blood marriages between the various families of the wizarding world will make this trade spread even faster than any plague. ”

"Gringotts...... Is it possible to make it through......"

"It's not possible," Douglas shook his head, leaned heavily on the chair behind him, looked up at the fading sky, and sighed, "That's a full 600 million gold gallons, as one end of the lever, it can not only burn the wealth of the entire wizarding world, but also enough to burn the flesh and blood of every goblin in Gringotts." ”

"Gringotts Wizard Bank, before the ammunition is exhausted, must actively choose to surrender and let this terrible fission stop. ”

"What if, the Council of Elders and the major departments now, choose to stay the course?"

Bogo swallowed and asked cautiously.

"Persistence...... What the hell?...... Elder Leos would not allow that to happen. ”

Douglas took a deep breath, his fingers trembled and extinguished the cigar in his hand on the ground, looked at the fairy Bogo whose face was uncertain, smiled miserably, and said with a gloomy face.

"You know, I've known this plan since I saw it. The original purpose of this plan was not to buy Gringotts at all, or rather, what we see now is only half of the plan - although I don't know the details of the full version, I am sure that it definitely ended with the complete extinction of the elves. ”

"All you need to do is make all the gold gallons disappear overnight at the last moment—not hidden, but in the true sense of the word—then the meaning of the existence of the elves and the Gringotts wizarding bank will no longer exist. ”

"Six hundred million gold gallons...... 600 million ......"

"So, Mr. Douglas, what are we to do now?"

Looking at Douglas, who had a somewhat hideous face, Bogo was silent for a moment before speaking slowly.

"It's simple, don't let everything drag on for too long......" Douglas laughed, grinning and baring his sharp teeth, and said coldly, "as we said before, defeat Gringotts' system in the shortest possible time, and surrender to Elena Kaslana's forces before the situation becomes scorched......"

"But doesn't Miss Kaslana have to face the same problem when she takes over Gringotts?"

"That's not something we need to think about, wizards' affairs are handled by wizards. ”

Douglas shook his head and replied meaningfully.

If that half-breed little witch really has the ability to flip her palm again after the clouds and rain to eliminate all the crises without a trace, Gringotts, with one more empress, will become the biggest winner.

April 2, 1992.

It's just an ordinary day, no festivals, no memorabilia.

At this time, not many people realized how far-reaching this day would have on the magical world, and even the non-magical world, in the future...... and appalling destructive power.

It all started with a flyer and a copper nut.

In this age of innocence before financial fraud has barely budded, the "Ehrlich's Pyramid" scam, which has not yet had time to complete its naming, has quietly spread in the magical shopping street in London.

Of course, the first lucky ones were the businessmen who had set up a permanent shop in Diagon Alley.

As one of the few wizards in the wizarding world with a little business acumen, they immediately sensed that something was wrong, and then, under the temptation of the shiny golden gallons, they left the danger behind and participated in this exciting game little by little.

As Elena expected......

At first, it was just one or two copper nats and silver sicos, then a part of the daily turnover, then all of it, and then the gold that was piled up in Gringotts next door, and even a part of the borrowing......

However, the strict limit on the number of investments has frustrated everyone's vain attempt to make a fortune in silence.

As the number of wives and children in their families has been used up, the merchants of Diagon Alley and Tumbledown Alley have invariably set their sights on those customers who are constantly flowing, where can normal business compare to this to make money.

A few days later......

Tumbledown Alley, Borgin-Bock shop.

This is a second-hand magic goods store that is well-known in the wizarding world, but compared to the regular shops in Diagon Alley, everything in Mr. Brookin's shop seems to hide some unknowable and dangerous powers.

It is also the safest place for some magical families, as well as those on the fringes of the laws of the wizarding world, and for those who are not in touch with the law and prohibitions, Mr. Borgin is favored.

Lucius Malfoy is a regular customer at the Borgin-Bock store.

However, after disposing of some troublesome magic items as usual that day, Mr. Borgin did not put away his items and end the conversation as quickly as usual, but mysteriously grabbed Lucius Malfoy, who was about to leave.

Mr. Borgin grinned, bared a few yellowed teeth, and shoved a leaflet into Lucius's hand.

"Dear Mr. Malfoy, have you heard of the Black Cross?"
