Chapter 1139: Alive
"The history of magic often brushes aside what wizards did to other magical races. Hermione reluctantly replied to Flleg, who was even more indignant than before, and then she said to the elves with a serious expression, "But as far as I know, there is no record of wizards mentioning that Gryffindor stole the sword... In addition, according to modern law..."
"Aha! sure enough, this is another story made up by the goblins!The goblins always think we're persecuting them!" Ron's shout interrupted Hermione, who was annoyed by the fact that the cameras were focused on him today, "The goblins say wizards always try to outdo them, and I think we should feel lucky that we made them unable to use our wands." ”
"Gryffindor is certainly not a thief! My mother told me that story! That Legnack I was reluctant to make the sword he made for Gryffindor, so he lied that Gryffindor had stolen the sword from him, and sent a group of subjects to claim it, but they were all repulsed by Gryffindor. Therefore, rumors circulated among the elves that Gryffindor had stolen the sword. Seamus Finigan had a thick accent, and as a Quidditch fan, he had just been happy with the news that Alan was planning to form a new club, but by this time he had already pointed his thick finger at the goblins and glared angrily.
"It's wizard arrogance again!" Rachel glared at the wizards when he saw so many voices of opposition, and he waved his small body into a fist with his overproportioned fingers, "It's not enough for you to let us not use our wands, you have usurped our treasures, and now you want to run our bank!"
"But you elves aren't fluffy bunnies, are you?" Ron responded, "You've killed a lot of us, too, and you're despicable!"
"Gentlemen, calm down, I understand your maintenance of the founder, but I don't mention whether Godric Gryffindor stole the sword, and that it should be returned to us goblins after his death. Nagnok stepped forward, his tone becoming more and more forceful, "We goblins never steal! the rightful owner of an item is always its maker and not the subsequent purchaser, and the purchaser should return the original to the maker after death, but you are no better than stealing an elf-made thing now by passing it from wizard to wizard without paying subsequent pay!"
"That's your goblin custom yourself! not our wizards. According to the laws of wizards, whether ancient or newly revised, wizards have never recognized this custom of goblins, and your code of conduct cannot be used to restrain the behavior of wizards. Hermione finished in one breath, and then said very unceremoniously and loudly, "I understand that you goblins think that you have been treated unfairly and cruelly, but this has nothing to do with Gryffindor's sword, and the owner of Hogwarts after Gryffindor is the owner of the sword, even if he dies, he does not need to return it." ”
"It's just your wizard's rule, you're always putting your greed on us step by step!" Puller knew the wizard's rules, of course, but couldn't find a better reason but still stubbornly shouted, "That Cornelius Fudge plotted to control the goblins' gold reserves when he was a minister, and would 'not hesitate to use force' if necessary! This is what your wizard's 'Contrarian' self-confessed, and this is what your magazine said! I remember it saying that the former Minister of Magic, Cornelius. Fudge is nicknamed "The Goblin Killer". According to the article, Fudge was "always talking about the goblins he killed" and used methods such as throwing himself into the water and drowning, pushing him down the stairs to his death, poisoning him with poison, and baking a pie!
The over-exaggerated conspiracy theory of "Singing Against the Tune" a few years ago in Rahuan's mouth was brought up again, which made many angry wizards laugh at it, and also made people realize that it didn't take much time for this niche magazine, which was never read by anyone, to become the paper media second only to the Daily Prophet.
"Pull the ring, calm down!" Nagnok noticed the change in the atmosphere, and he was a little annoyed to stop his companion from talking about a book that even elves knew was not very reliable, and he said slyly, "The Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control of the Ministry of Magic also happens to be there, and their Elf Liaison Office is the department that deals with this kind of property dispute between wizards and elves... Although things are a bit troublesome, history is not without guidance, we goblins will give everything to maintain our own wealth... So I request that our claims be arbitrated in accordance with the law as has been customary, and I trust that the Ministry of Magic will not be biased in this regard because of his status as Headmaster Harris..."
The surrounding elves nodded and raised their fists, and they looked at Alan and Hermione with angry and challenging eyes - the elves are extremely intelligent, and over the years of several unsuccessful rebellions, they have been able to use various means to effectively manage their relations with wizards, although many wizards still consider them subservient to themselves, but the elves have managed to make their place in the wizarding world... Now the goblins certainly know that this will not stop the opening of the Harris Wizard Bank, but since it has been knocked on the door, and the other party still wants to regain economic control of the wizarding world, then now in the face of the powerful confrontation of Alan and those armed Aurors, the goblins naturally understand that they can no longer directly rebel against the wizarding government by force as before, but they will naturally do everything possible to make trouble for each other in these aspects.
"Everyone, please stop arguing... I have a question..."Eren habitually put his hands behind his back and let the staff stand on the ground on its own, and the vegetable bag hanging from the head of the sword devil shook with its movements, but it didn't make the staff shake, "Mr. Nagnok, if I don't understand correctly, according to the rules and customs of the elves, the person who buys items from the elves should return the original items to the goblins after death, right?"
"That's right, that's it, to return things to us goblins after death. Nagnok looked at Alan in confusion, but sensing that the tone of his voice seemed to be in his favor, he did not hesitate to confirm Allen's statement.
"Well, Mr. Godric Gryffindor isn't dead," Allen's playful glance swept over the elves, "so what exactly are we arguing about here... That's why I didn't say anything just now... Because the present situation should not be controversial according to the custom of either side of our side..."
The wizards, both live and watching, lost their voices in an instant, they had seen the news of the Ravenclaw apparitions, and now that Gryffindor was still alive, they could barely believe their ears, it was shocking.
The goblins stared at Eren in disbelief, their round heads, which were much larger than normal humans, shaking again and again, and they couldn't believe Allen's words.
"Lie!" Ra Ring was a little angry, "who can live like this." He seemed to remember Ravenclaw and shook his head for another reason, "I clearly remember your wizard's own report at the end of the Hogwarts period in the first half of the year, you admit that Gryffindor transferred all the founder's power to you, how can you still be alive?!"
"Mr. Gryffindor did transfer all the ownership to me, but what does it matter whether he is alive or not? Of course, Mr. Gryffindor's whereabouts and status are not convenient for me to reveal without his permission..."Allen's indifferent gaze swept over the suspicious goblins, and he said indifferently: "Since you don't believe me, then use your own methods to divination... If you're not good at this, I'm sure you have enough money to bring in gifted prophets... Tell by letter whether what I am describing is true... You elves have your own magic system, and you can use some magic without a wand... I think you can easily test that in this kind of thing related to wealth. ”
The goblins seemed to be choked by invisible hands, and one by one their faces were flushed, and the originally angry Pull Ring looked at their governor Nagnok in shock, but saw that his governor's two long hands had been tightly clenched together, and he closed his mouth tightly, not saying a word, obviously there was no way to refute Alan.
"So, in the current situation, the makers of the Gryffindor Sword are all dead, and the user is still alive in the world, what should be done in this situation according to the customs you request?" Alan scoffed, "I have to remind you that I do not intend to rely on the fact that Mr. Gryffindor is still alive, and my own attitude is only based on the laws of wizards." ”
