Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Feast Begins
"Unbelievable. ”
An old fairy with a gray beard slowly lowered his eyepieces, his wrinkled face showing a hint of exhaustion, and carefully put the yellowed parchment in his hand back in the center of the stone table.
It was a semi-circular quaint stone table, and at the end of the curved end, sat seven elderly goblins who were obviously very old.
It was one of the elves who had just spoken, and it looked up at the elves around it, and nodded solemnly, it had come to the exact same conclusion as the other six older elves of the Gringotts Elven Elder's Council.
This is what legend has long since been lost or hidden, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, or more precisely, the original certificate of the estate of the Salazar Slytherin family castle.
"Human girl, I don't quite understand what you mean. ”
The fairy in the center placed his fingers crossed on the stone table, looked at the silver-haired girl sitting on the other side of the stone table with a deep gaze, and said calmly and with a little arrogance, "As you can see, this is a certificate of the Slytherin family's estate. And your last name doesn't seem to legitimately inherit and dispose of this amazing treasure. ”
"Yes, but unfortunately, as far as I know, the last remaining descendant of Salazar Slytherin, the last member of the old pure-blood Gaunt family, Mr. Morfin Gaunt, has died in Azkaban while serving his sentence. ”
Elena looked up, her lake-blue eyes calmly meeting the gaze of the old elf, and replied in a flat tone.
"Oh, that's a pity. ”
The goblin nodded noncommittally, but there was no trace of regret on his face, and he snapped his fingers lightly.
A few minutes later, a young elf walked in and whispered a few words to it, the old elf frowned, the wrinkles on his face soothed a lot, and looked at Elena with interest, "It seems that Mr. Dumbledore has thought everything through, tell me?"
There was no doubt that the elves had verified Elena's words through their special channels just now, but they had apparently attributed it all to Dumbledore's arrangement, after all, it was impossible for a little girl under the age of ten to know so much from any point of view.
Hearing the elves' words, Elena neither admitted nor objected, but was cute and stunned, as if she was recalling the content that had been memorized, and said slowly, "According to the rules of the ancient contract, in this case, Hogwarts, who holds the certificate of possession, as a related third party, is deemed to have obtained the right to dispose of the land. ”
"Ah, yes, yes. We all know this rule. ”
The goblin nodded approvingly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "If it was Mr. Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, who came in person, it would be no problem. However, if he was just an ordinary student at Hogwarts, it seemed that there was still a little bit of connection. ”
"Not those boring paper proofs from the Ministry of Magic, you know ......"
The old elf narrowed his eyes, stretched out his slender shriveled index finger and thumb in the air, and whispered slowly, "I mean, something about magic. Hogwarts is not a stupid stone house built of brick and stone by Muggles. ”
(Friendly reminder, if you can, the old goblin, please make up the brain for English, it will be very feeling.) )
Finally appeared, and the last step of the game that was destined to shock everyone was finally taken before she was completely trusted, Elena exhaled softly with some nervousness, raised the back of her left hand and said to the Gringotts Elven Elders, with a cold look in her eyes.
"An oath. Is an unbreakable oath led by Dumbledore that binds me to Hogwarts on the basis of my life? ”
Unlike before, this time there was only a dazzling oath mark on the back of Elena's hand, and the magic traces entangled in it were extremely clear, and the edge of the parchment spread out on the stone table also flowed with a hint of luster, just like the state that Elena felt a slight heat in her chest every time she activated the "stigma" before.
Faced with the sudden light, the goblins subconsciously raised their hands to block it, and then glanced at each other and let out a low discussion.
The long years made it effortless for them to discern the source of the two entangled restrictions in the first place, as well as to capture the meager connection between the silver-haired girl and Hogwarts.
Ten seconds, twenty seconds......
Or maybe a minute, five minutes......
Anyway, after a long, long time passed in Elena's senses, the elves sitting behind the stone table finally stopped talking.
"Human girl, oh no, honorable Lady Elena Kaslana. ”
The eldest elf, who was still in the center, coughed lightly and said in a respectful tone, "Gringotts will be happy to serve you. Next, we need to talk about the mortgage at Hogwarts, the first point is the type of loan currency......"
As they spoke, the elves took out their glasses and put them on the bridge of their noses, prepared pen and paper, and began to draft and write down the details.
It's done!
Seeing the reaction of the Gringotts elves, Elena's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and her right hand, which was caressing the reserve grain, couldn't help but exert a slight force, pinching the little owl that was pretending to sleep.
Mutter!
"Huh?"
The old goblin, who was bowing his head and drafting the basic terms, looked up suspiciously, and his sharp gaze swept over the girl in front of him through the lenses.
Coo~
At this moment, another series of strange chirps came out, and this time, almost all the goblins stopped, raised their heads and looked curiously at the source of the sound.
"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, so I haven't had time to eat dinner yet...... Excuse me?"
Elena held the reserve grain in both hands, pressed her stomach hard, and whispered with a shy face.
Speaking of which, she had been on the road all day today, and she had eaten a quarter of an ice cream in total. She had been tense since she entered Gringotts, but now that she suddenly relaxed, she felt the terrible hunger in her stomach that was about to melt the walls of her stomach.
"Oh, sorry, what a faux pas. Please enjoy as much as you like. ”
An old leprechaun dressed as a classical gentleman on the far right shook his head elegantly, raised his hand and patted it gently.
The next moment, a white cloth appeared out of thin air in front of Elena, the exquisite dinner plate was filled with delicate biscuits and cakes, and a pot of steaming black tea appeared in the most comfortable position of the girl's right hand. Directly in front of you is a menu written in English in curly flowers.
"The next request may be a bit presumptuous. But if you can, can you talk while eating? After all, ......."
The old goblin rubbed his palms slightly embarrassed and said tentatively.
"Time is money, my friend. Of course there is no problem!"
Elena nodded without hesitation, interrupting the old goblin's polite words and getting straight to the point, "Almost every second, I can see the lovely Golden Gallon flying away from my eyes. So what are we waiting for?"
All the chess pieces have fallen, and even if the USSR has not fallen, Elena as a reborn has nothing to fear.
That drooping furry bear is just the easiest piece of fat to eat in the tide of the big time, and she has countless plan Bs to replace. From the beginning, all she needed was the power to move the world.
The silver-haired little Lori picked up a piece of mousse cake and stuffed it into her mouth, squinting her eyes happily.
And now, the feast begins.
