0966 Time is Money, My Friend!

‘……’

‘……’

When I saw the warriors of Hogwarts, the beautiful barrier spell cast by the 'Miss Jack-of-all-trades' Hermione, and several subsequent spells successfully knocked away the horrible group of gnolloll poachers, and then continued in one move. After the flames were blazing wildly, completely burning a large forest around the trio, burning the enemy to death and burning, forcing the jackal poachers and ghosts to cry wolf and flee frantically, and a phantom shapeshifter teleported away with the injured Fleur Harry, the whole auditorium was still silent, no one applauded and cheered, and no one spoke out to discuss, just silently looked up at what was happening on the 'screen'.

Because, as they all saw, the warrior of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the beautiful and charming Fleur warrior, the current situation is not optimistic!

Although, many people already know that in that 'Azeroth' world, in that ' The Kingdom of Lordaeron won't really die if it dies, but they now know from the mouth of the eliminated warrior Krum in the crowd who was also watching the movie: inside, everything is the same as the real thing, the pain of being injured and the terrible feeling of death are not less at all, so the teachers and students can't help but worry about the warrior of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the Fleur who is said to have the blood of Meiwa.

After all, a terrible crossbow arrow was nailed directly into the shoulder socket, and the blood was still flying, directly staining the entire neck and clothes, so that she could only fall to the ground and wail in pain and twitch, that kind of terrible thing is really too cruel for a girl......

Even, let alone the Hibiscus warrior, now even the teachers and students who are 'watching the movie' in the auditorium can't stand it, looking at that bloody and terrible scene, many people have their hearts, and many girls can't help but cover their eyes, not daring to see more.

“……”

After watching Harry and Hermione on the screen get out of danger with Fleur, Dumbledore slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Now, he was a little glad, glad that a certain little girl Hu Lai had put that Miss Granger on the list of warriors, otherwise, I'm afraid the warriors would have been wiped out by now, right?

In Dumbledore's opinion, the strength of that Miss Granger was now similar to that of an adult wizard...... Of course, if the other party can be more skilled, more resolute and resolute, he must be almost equivalent to a good Auror, right?

Sure enough, actual combat is the way to really train people, so Dumbledore is looking forward to Harry and Hermione's future performance! Perhaps, if the other party can stay in it for ten more days and half a month, when they come out, they will definitely become very different!

But......

Thinking about the previous hordes of jackals who attacked Harry and Hermione, those kobolds, monsters that were almost the same as the werewolves in their wizarding world, Dumbledore couldn't help but frown. If they dared to attack wizards like that here in England, they would have been wiped out by the wizards or cleaned up, right?

However, now was not the time to think about those things, Dumbledore thought about it, and looked at the little girl next to him, who was drinking ice and eating spicy potato chips, while watching the 'movie', and seemed to be completely different, completely different from the students' behavior, as if she was not affected by the bloody picture at all.

"Ahem......"

"Professor Annie?"

Dumbledore, who felt that he had to remind the other party of something now, had to speak, because the current second project of the Triwizard Tournament was not their responsibility, and they still didn't know anything about the other party's magical spell, even if they wanted to do something, it was impossible.

"What?"

( ̄~ ̄) Chew!

However, a little girl didn't look back, still staring intently at the three 'screens' in the sky while eating, watching Hermione phantom Harry and Fleur apparition to another safer place, where she scrambly covered Fleur's wounds, but there was no way to do anything about it.

"That's ......"

"Look, one of our warriors is injured, and it looks like she's been eliminated, so why don't you let Fleur come back now?"

Looking at the bloody and terrible pictures on the screen, and then looking at the way the students in the Great Hall were so frightened that they were collectively silenced, Dumbledore felt that since there seemed to be no room for recovery, it was very inhumane to continue to torture a little girl like that, so, if he could, he hoped to be able to teleport the poor little girl back directly, as if the other party was eliminated in advance?

In short, Dumbledore felt that his decision was the right one, and besides, he was still a judge of the Triwizard Tournament, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with judging that Fleur's defeat now.

"Huh?"

( ̄△ ̄; )

"But, old man Dumbledore, isn't she dead yet, why did you teleport her out?"

Σ(⊙ω⊙`)?

Little Anne, who was fascinated by it, just glanced at a certain nosy old man, and then turned her head away.

"But ......"

"Look, she's dying too, so don't torture her anymore, right?"

Now the situation is not only that Fleur is tormented, but also the audience outside, especially his Dumbledore students.

Even, he was already wondering if he should introduce some new rules again, prohibiting some elementary school students in the lower grades, such as students from grades 1 to 4, from coming to the auditorium to watch live?

However, Dumbledore also knew that such a policy would definitely be strongly resisted by the students, so he quickly extinguished that idea for the time being, and planned to continue watching it for a few more days.

"Then let's wait until she's dead, if she doesn't die, she won't be able to get out!!"

(?? ⊙?? ⊙`)

Actually, it will definitely come out, but little Anne thinks it would be better to let them die directly? Who let those guys walk in dangerous places without a lot of eyes? Look, it's almost over now, right?

As for a nosy bad old headmaster, she won't care about the other party's opinion, after all, the other party's authority is definitely useless to her, and she is just a bad old man, and she still wants to point fingers at her?

And, why did she listen to him, why?!

(…… )

(● ̄(??)  ̄●)

“……”

"Madame Maxim, why don't you take a stand and let Fleur come out? As you can see, she may not last long, with such an injury, in that environment, it must be pointless to go on like this, and it is a little too cruel......"

"What do you think?"

Dumbledore saw that he couldn't persuade a stubborn little girl, and after thinking about it, he had to turn his head to look at the lady Maxim who was blushing and full of worry, anxiety, and helplessness.

“……”

"Wait and see, if they can find those paladins, they should be able to save Fleur's ......"

Madame Maxime is now a little worried about Fleur's condition, but she must also be a little unwilling, because this is Fleur's last chance, and if she loses here in the second project, I am afraid that there is no hope for the third project......

Besides, if you die in the illusion of the 'Kingdom of Lordaeron', you won't really die, just look at the situation of the warrior Krum who is watching the movie from a distance at this time, so she thinks it should be better to take another look, and it is better to wait, maybe, what miracles will happen later?

"This ......"

"Okay, let's take a look first......"

Alas!

"I just hope that Fleur's child can persevere, or when he comes out, he won't leave too much trauma, right?"

No way, since Lady Maxim, the headmaster of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the little girl professor are unwilling to let Fleur out, Dumbledore, who feels that he seems to be a little nosy, what else can he do except reluctantly sit back in his place?

“……”

(???? ω????)

Little Anne glanced at the strange old man Dumbledore who pretended to say something like that deliberately to persuade herself and Lady Maxime, but she only glanced at the other party and didn't say anything.

You know, before, she was killed or injured or something, and she herself didn't experience it...... That kind of thing is not a big deal, although it is also painful, but the patience is over, and the trauma or something, that kind of thing will not exist at all!

Anyway, it couldn't exist here for her, Professor Anne.

(…… )

(lll¬?? ¬)

————————

“!!”

"What to do? Hermione? What are we going to do now?! ”

Reaching out to cover Fleur's shoulder socket vigorously, Harry, who no longer had time to care about the other party's slippery skin and the touch of his swollen chest, looked at the liquid that was still oozing from his fingers, and couldn't help but turn his head to Hermione on the side with a hint of crying and asked urgently.

Last night, they had just watched Krum die under a knight's sword, and watched each other die in their arms, only to be mercilessly consumed by the flames...... And now, their other companion, Fleur, is about to leave them?

Harry said that he really couldn't accept this kind of thing, because it was really cruel to him!

"I ......"

Woo~!

"I don't know, Harry, I really don't know......"

Hermione began to whimper a little, looking at the one in front of her, who was staring at her with round eyes, unable to speak in pain, and her neck and chest were full of scarlet blood, and even her shirt and underwear were soaked, she didn't know what to say or do something.

"Woo......"

"Sorry! Harry, I don't know ......"

Fleur's scarlet blood on her hands, whimpering and wiping her cheeks, she ignored the red tracks and dirt on it, and could only stay by Fleur's side in vain, watching as the other man completely fainted or went into shock due to blood loss after a final struggle.

“……”

"Fleur? Sister Fleur?! ”

Harry called out twice, but the other man was completely unconscious, and he didn't know what to do now, except for the slight heaving of his chest to indicate that the other party was still alive and to give them a little peace of mind!

"We must save her, Hermione, we must not lose Fleur again!!"

Harry slowly tentatively let go of his hand, and when he found that the blood was not flowing as fast as before, and seemed to have solidified around the bolts, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Anyway, he can feel it, and now that Fleur's injury is definitely not going to be good! It is even possible that the other party's blood is about to run dry......

"I know, Harry, I know! But what do we do?! ”

"We're lost now, I can't find our way, we don't even know where we are, we don't even know where the Prince of Arthas is, we can't find anyone to help!"

"And!"

"All the spells I remember don't save people, only potions can save people, I can concoct them, but...... But now it's not Hogwarts, I don't even recognize the plants in this world, I .....I don't know what to do......"

"Wait!"

"Harry, I seem to remember a spell to heal wounds, but...... But I didn't use it at all......"

Suddenly, a dazed and frightened Hermione remembered that she seemed to remember a wound-healing spell called 'Heal as Ever', and of course, a rejuvenation?

"But!"

"I remember Madam Pomfrey saying that those spells that heal and rejuvenate should not be used directly, but should be combined with potions and high-calorie food, otherwise it will probably have an even worse effect......"

"So Harry, I don't know if I should do that......"

Obviously, there's nothing that is hard to come by'Miss Jack of Trades', isn't it? In her eagerness, she remembered two spells she had seen but had never used: 'Rejuvenation' to rejuvenate people from illness and 'Healing as Before' to heal wounds!

It's just that those two spells have conditions for use, and it is obvious that the conservation of energy must also be observed, otherwise, there would be no need for the Potions class, the nutritionist, and the St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries.

"I can't care so much!"

"Try it first, Hermione, or Fleur will really die! Tell me, what should I do? I'll help you, you'll be in charge of casting spells!! ”

After saying that, Harry crouched back to Fleur's side again, intending to wait for Hermione's orders, and then rescue Fleur, who was in a very urgent situation and was likely to die in the next moment.

"Okay, okay!!"

Call!

"I'm going to try it out, for now, we're going to pull out the bolt from her neck and shoulder, and then I'll heal her wound as soon as possible......"

After wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes again, and exhaling deeply, Hermione clenched her wand and confirmed the two spells in her mind several times, and after feeling that there should be nothing wrong, she prepared to treat the seriously injured and dying Fleur in front of her.

"Hey! My friend, do you need help?! ”

Suddenly, just as Harry was holding the crossbow bolt in Fleur's shoulder socket with a trembling hand, and was waiting for Hermione's order, not far from the two of them, a goblin with a somewhat high pitch but who didn't look like a good person poked out of a rock in the distance.

“!!”

“!!”

Finding this situation in such a strange place, I didn't think much about it, whether it was Hermione, who was about to cast a spell to save people, or Harry, who was about to draw an arrow, both of them clenched their wands in their hands for the first time, and pointed towards the goblin who ran out, and the urge to launch a spell when something was wrong.

"Hey! Hey! ”

"My friend, please relax, I am not your enemy......"

Seeing the reaction of the two, the goblin hurriedly raised his empty hands, and then signaled that he really didn't have any malicious intentions.

"I just set up camp over there, and I came over to take a look when I heard that there was movement here, please believe me, I really have no ill intentions!"

"And, my friend, trust me, you'd better not pull that arrow out unprepared, she'll have no more blood to shed......"

“……”

“……”

Harry and Hermione relaxed a lot after stopping each other's words, but their wands were still pointed at each other, because they didn't understand why there was a strange elf here.

"You're a goblin?"

"Also, do you know how to heal?!"

Although she didn't know why the other party was here, Hermione just wanted to know what the other party meant when she said that she wouldn't let the two of you pull out that arrow!

If the other party understands medicine or knows a better treatment plan, she will definitely think about it.

"No, no, no!"

"I'm not a goblin, I'm a goblin, a goblin from the Treasure Bay of the Valley of Thorns! My name is Rosa, and it's a pleasure to meet you, my friend! ”

Seeing that they had started a normal exchange, and seeing that the 'weapon' in each other's hands had been lowered slightly, the goblin named Rosa began to salute the two and introduce himself.

“……”

"I don't care who you are or what you are, but I advise you to stay away from us!!"

Harry warily pointed his wand at the other man's disgusting green head, his heart filled with anger and remorse, as well as endless worry and fear, from the moment Fleur was injured, and he was as impressed as he fired a deadly spell at any moment.

After experiencing the cruel creatures that attacked them just now, he was wary of all the non-human creatures in this world! After all, a few werewolves almost killed their friend Fleur, and now the arrows are still stuck in each other's shoulder sockets, and the blood has stained the T-shirt red, and they don't know if they can save each other now, where do they have time to talk nonsense with each other?!

"She's hurt, isn't she? Still looks serious? ”

"Hey! Don't, don't be nervous, I really don't mean anything!! ”

Before he could finish his sentence, after seeing the two short wands in the hands of the boy and the girl pointed at him for the first time, the goblin hurriedly raised his hands again and explained.

"Time is money, my friends!"

"See? Now your friend is injured, and if you don't deal with the arrows and heal quickly, she will definitely die! And as it happens, my airship is just around the corner, don't you want to visit my goblin shop? ”

"I have a lot of potions there, such as medical potions and life potions......

"Believe me, my friend, if she pulls out the arrow and heals the wound, she will definitely not be able to persevere, I have seen this situation many times."

Rosa, the goblin who thought that the two little wizards might be rich, began to sell her goods hard, and besides, what it said was not all a lie, it was sure of the severity of the wound of the guy lying on the ground!

“!!”

“!!”

Harry and Hermione looked at each other, not knowing whether to trust each other or not.

"Where?"

"Where is that 'goblin shop' of yours?!"

Hermione, who was not very confident in her healing spell, decided to give it a try after hearing that the other party had the so-called 'medical potion' and 'life potion', so she made eye contact with Harry and decided to give it a try.

"Not far, just ahead! I came here when I heard you guys were moving here......"

"Don't worry, it's less than a hundred yards away!!"

To be honest, Goblin Rosa had been here for a good time, and if it was far away, it would not have been possible for it to suddenly notice the fluctuation of mana, and then hear two loud voices and touch it to see what was going on.

“……”

“……”

Glancing at each other again, there was no way, the two now felt that there was really no better way than to believe in each other, so they had to nod.

"Yuga Dim Leviosa!"

Hermione flicked her wand and made Fleur float along, thinking that maybe that was the only way to make the other person more comfortable?

"Oh!"

"You're wizards!!"

The goblin nodded, and the other party's spell confirmed the obvious fluctuation of power it had just perceived.

"Lead the way!"

"But, if you dare to come up with any bad ideas, I swear I'll cast an Avada Curse on you, I swear!!"

Harry held his wand to the other side of Fleur, gritting his teeth at the goblin, though his threat looked pale?

"Don't worry, my friend!"

"The reputation of our goblins is that of the entire world of Azeroth, we just want to make money!!"

Seeing that business seemed to have something to do, Rosa the goblin suddenly became energetic and busily led the way.

————————

“……”

(,,??????????,,)

"Hey! Dumbledore, strange old man, you see, that Fleur doesn't seem to be able to die for the time being, right? ”

(* ̄ω ̄)o??

In the Great Hall of Hogwarts, when the teachers and students were secretly relieved and continued to look at the screen with concern, little Anne naturally would not miss any opportunity to attack the prestige of Dumbledore's headmaster, and directly pointed to the 'screen' and sneered at each other.

It's a good thing she didn't listen to a bad old man just now, otherwise, there would be no good show to watch now!

“……”

However, Dumbledore didn't pay attention to the sarcasm of a little girl and the inexplicable look that Maxim looked at from time to time, he was just sitting on his headmaster's throne, still looking at the screen happily, as if he hadn't said anything before?

————————

“……”

"This is your airship?!"

Harry couldn't believe the huge thing in front of him, which was lying crooked in a mountain stream...... He had just thought that the conditions here were so good that they could treat their friend Fleur!

But who would have thought that the other party's so-called goblin store was just a crashed hot air balloon or a small airship?!

"Aha!"

"My friends, it's all a minor problem, please don't mind it too much...... I heard the news that there was a great plague on Lordaeron's side, so I quickly hired an airship to do some small business, but it crashed a few days ago......".

"But you don't need to worry, I'll find a way to fix it, although it might be a waste of time......"

"Okay, let's not talk about that, time is money, my friends, come and see my goods!"

Goblin Rosa didn't care what the two little wizards behind her thought, and directly cheered and got into the 'cabin' of her goblin airship, and then quickly took out a small embroidery bag and collapsed it on her waist, and then began to dig it out of it:

"My friends, let's take a look at my cargo first!"

④……

????

“!!”

"Stop! Okay, you don't have to take out the rest!! ”

"We want that medical ointment and that life potion now!!"

Suddenly, after looking at the explanation of the ointment and the small card in front of the potion, Hermione immediately made a decision and pointed directly at the other party's two things.

Because she knew that those were the only two things they and Fleur needed most right now, otherwise, she and Harry wouldn't have followed each other here.

"Of course, my friends!"

"But do you have any gold? The medical potion is worth one hundred Lordaeron gold coins or other standard gold coins of the same weight, and the life potion is not expensive, only one hundred and fifty Lordaeron gold coins or other standard gold coins of the same weight......"

Hearing that the other party really wanted to buy it, Goblin Rosa immediately became energetic, and then quickly grabbed the two bottles of medicine, but before handing them to the other party, it stopped dangerously and asked curiously.

“……”

"Harry?"

Hermione inevitably frowned when she heard the price read out by the other party, but she had no choice but to look at her companion when she had to buy it anyway.

"I didn't bring it!!"

Patting himself on his trouser pocket, Harry said that he didn't have a single copper nat on his body, let alone gold coins!

"All I have is this ......"

Hermione thought about it, and in embarrassment, she took out a gold Galleon from her pocket, which was all her pocket money for the month, and it was all here now.

"Oh!"

"A Gold Coin with Magical Power......"

Goblin Rosa snatched it and examined it carefully.

"It's of high purity, but, my friends, it seems to be a long way from the amount of gold we said we had promised?"

"Do you have any more of these coins?"

The goblin looked at it for a moment, nodded, said that there was no problem with the gold coin, and then threw it back to the little human witch.

There is no problem with the gold coins themselves, but there is definitely a problem with the quantity.

"No ...... for the time being"

"Can you sell us the medicine on credit first? We...... We know Prince Arthas of Lordaeron and Master Gianna from Dalaran, and we will pay you back when we go to meet them! ”

"I promise!!"

Seeing that the other party's face was gradually becoming ugly, Hermione hurriedly spoke.

Although they had now lost contact with Arthas and Gianna and their forces, and were completely lost, she assured that what she said was true.

"No, no, no!"

"My friend, we've just met, I don't know if what you're saying is true or not, I don't know any Prince of Arthas or Master Gianna, I only know gold coins now! Shiny Gold Coins!! ”

"You pay with one hand, and I deliver with the other, do you understand?"

Seeing that these people couldn't afford to buy their high-end goods, the goblins regretfully put away their goods and put them back in the embroidered bag.

I thought that these people would be big customers and take the opportunity to knock on a fortune, but who would have thought that the other party was obviously two mages, but they were so poor that they only had one gold coin in their bodies, which was really embarrassing for the caster!

“!!”

"Can't you give us credit first?!"

Seeing that the other party put away the goods, Hermione was a little anxious, because she knew that Fleur would definitely not last long, and she had to get the two things that the other party had just taken out as soon as possible.

"Can't!"

"Why should I give you the goods first? I don't like credit!! ”

The hospitable attitude of Goblin Rosa was gone, after all, it certainly wouldn't have reserved much patience with two poor ghosts who couldn't afford to buy its goods.

“!!”

"Do you want to give it?!"

Harry was anxious, and after glancing at Fleur lying on the ground behind him, he thought about it, and felt that since he had bought it now, he would directly aim his wand at the goblin, ready to use it to rob it!

“!!”

"Oh? Hey! ”

"My friend, if you want to use it, I think you are very wrong! You think I'm only one person? ”

"Look behind you!"

Seeing the other party's wand, Goblin Rosa didn't mind too much, just sneered and pointed behind the other party.

“!!”

"Fleur!?"

"You!!"

Subconsciously turning his head, seeing that the unconscious Fleur had been held by another masked goblin with a scimitar at some point, Harry was immediately anxious, because he didn't notice when the other goblin appeared.

"Look?"

"There is more than one of us, and there may be more than two ....."

"Well, greedy fellows, we don't mind treating you as enemies if you don't want to do business with us! And against the enemy, we goblins are always unscrupulous! ”

The goblin said sadly, and quietly took out a goblin technology musket in his hand at some point, and aimed the muzzle of the two-shot gun at the little wizard who dared to threaten him with a wand.

"You ......"

At this moment, Harry felt a little embarrassed, he wanted to save Fleur, but he didn't dare to act rashly, he didn't know what to do.

"Wait!"

"We're doing business with you now!!"

Hermione didn't follow Harry's example of preparing for a robbery, nor did she plan to fight these goblins of unknown strength, and after thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and spoke.

"Oh?"

"But you don't have the money, you can't even afford our cheapest food!!"

The goblins looked at the gold coin that the other party was still holding with some disdain, so little money that they couldn't afford to kill people and sell goods, because the pay was not proportional to the return, and they were unwilling to be enemies of the two little wizards, especially when they didn't understand the details of the other party.

So, it's ready to chase people! However, in view of the offense the other party had just made, it thought that perhaps the gold coin could be used as compensation for letting its men let go of the dying woman?

"Yes, we don't have gold, but we ......"

"How about we can sell you something of value first, and then exchange your valuation for the goods from you?"

There was no way, Hermione thought, now they were afraid that they had to do this, otherwise, Fleur would really die.

"Sounds good......"

"But what else is worth in you?"

The goblin began to glance up and down at the two of them and the half-dead woman in the distance, but it soon realized that it had no idea what could be more valuable than the wand in their hands!

Of course, the most important thing is that those two wands don't seem to be worth much, and even if they were sold to them, they would probably not be enough to replace the ointment.

“……”

"Don't worry about it, if we have something of value, you can say that you don't agree to this deal, right?"

Hermione didn't say what she had, just stared at the green goblin's eyes with her brown eyes, waiting for an answer.

“!!”

"Of course! We goblins are the most honest, and if you have anything valuable, you can buy all my things! ”

The goblin's eyes rolled, and he felt that it was not a good choice to use force, so he decided that it was better to make money in harmony.

Besides, now the initiative is here, at most, he will press the price hard, make a good profit and run?!

"Then you let her go first!!"

Hermione pointed to Fleur and the goblin next to Fleur who didn't know when it appeared and shouted at Rosa.

"Of course! We're friends, aren't we? ”

Syllable!

With a snap of her fingers, Goblin Rosa nodded to her guard.

Then soon, the other party gently removed the terrifying curved blade dagger that glowed green, and at a glance knew that it was smeared with poison, and then turned around, and disappeared without a trace in an instant under the gaze of Harry and Hermione?

“!!”

“!!”

Harry and Hermione looked at each other in surprise, they never expected that the goblin would be invisible!

Moreover, this guy in front of him is so cunning that he even hides a helper? It's just that what they don't know is how many of them are still invisible and eyeing each other?

Of course, now is not the time to think about that kind of thing, although the two of them also have means of dealing with invisibility, such as the spell 'Hurry to Appear' or something? However, without preparing to make a move, Hermione and Harry didn't think much about it, and only grabbed Fleur's side as soon as possible to check that the other party was okay and was not hurt by the goblin just now, and then they were completely relieved.

"Hey!"

"Hermione, do you have anything of value?"

If it was at school, Harry himself must have a lot of valuable things, such as fire ballista arrows, such as invisibility cloaks, etc.? However, now he only had a wand on him, and it was not worth a few gold galleons, which was certainly not enough to change the ointment.

"Yes, there is, but ......"

Hermione hesitated, remembering that she still had something very valuable, but she didn't know if she should sell it......

"What is it?"

Harry was a little curious, because he knew that Hermione didn't seem to have anything of value hidden on her.

"Hey!"

"Time is money, my friend, please can you hurry?!"

The goblin is a little impatient, if the woman dies later, then its deal today, which may still be a little interesting, will be yellow! And, when the time comes, maybe they'll have to fight the two angry little wizards in front of them?

If it develops like that, it's not what it wants to see, because now it just wants to make money, make a lot of money, and then not only have to return to its capital, but also be worth the high compensation for the broken airship it rented!!

“……”

Call!

"Harry, you're optimistic about Fleur first!"

Nodding to the other party, Hermione, who took a deep breath, resolutely turned her head and walked to the goblin, and then as soon as she stretched out her hand, a thick book that seemed to be ordinary appeared in her hand.

“!!”

"Hermione, could that be the ...... Professor Anne gave you?"

Harry was shocked when he saw it, he knew what it was, and just as he wanted to stop the other party's deal, he was interrupted by Hermione's outstretched hand.

"Oh?"

"A magic book? But how much is it worth?! ”

Unexpectedly, it was this kind of thing, and the goblin couldn't help but hesitate a little, because it was not a mage, and it was not very much contact with magical knowledge, so it was difficult to evaluate or judge this kind of thing.

Failure to accurately value or judge would mean that the trade could lose money, which was unacceptable to Rosa, an aspiring goblin who had vowed to be a trade king.

"It'......"

"It's a transcendent magic book, with a spell effect that blesses damage, three powerful enchantment skills, and at least a thousand high-level spells, circles, spells, and notes!"

Although, Hermione hasn't even been able to learn any of them...... Moreover, Hermione also remembered that she hadn't even remembered to use it when dealing with those terrible stone giants before...... If I had tried it back then, I don't think I would have been so embarrassed now.

However, it was too late to think about that kind of thing now, so she had better hurry up and complete the deal and save Fleur.

"It's not your average magic book, it's an orange quality magic book!!"

Hermione gritted her teeth, a hint of sly sly flashing in the depths of her brown eyes, but she hid it well, revealing only that tangled expression.

"Orange, orange quality?"

The goblin didn't come back to his senses for a moment.

Because, the best things in the goods he had ever handled, those magical items or enchanted weapons or something, seemed to be just blue quality things? As for the orange quality, sorry, he doesn't seem to have heard of it at all?

"That's right!"

"It's orange quality, that is, it's not just a magic book, it's also a ......"

"Artifact!!"

Fortunately, Hermione didn't exist like Voldemort or some little girl, otherwise, after remembering that she still had this book, I am afraid that she would probably directly use the magic on the magic book to kill all the goblins around her, both visible and unseen.

Hermione, however, wasn't going to do that, so she was going to make a deal with the goblin in front of her for what she needed.

"Artifact?!"

"Hah! Are you trying to trick a goblin?! ”

The goblin almost jumped up in fright, then looked up in anger and pointed at the little witch's nose and sneered!

Anyway, it Rosa would never believe that this little wizard in front of her would have an artifact in his hands, because it was absolutely impossible to exist!!

"Lie or not, don't you know by yourself first?"

"It's a gift from one of my esteemed teachers, it's something my teacher used to use, and my teacher was a former arcane archmage!!"

Looking at the parting gift in his hand that had been given to him by Harry's owl before Professor Anne left Hogwarts two years ago, after hesitating and rubbing for a while, Hermione gritted her teeth and gently threw it into the other party's hand.

"An Arcane Archmage?!"

The goblin was taken aback by the other party's words, and it thought, if it was really something that an arcane archmage had used, it seemed that it might really be worth some money?!

“……”

However, he didn't think much about it, and after receiving the book steadily, and then rubbing the cover, a trace of greed flashed in the depths of his eyes.

There was no doubt that the goblin could almost tell it just by touching it, and this thing seemed to be different from everything he had touched before, and it looked really valuable?!

Then he began to flip rapidly......

I saw that there were spells, spells, strange formations, and messy notes that he couldn't understand, and seemed to be really profound...... And then, it seems that there are really a lot of powerful enchantments on it?

Because he felt the power of surging fire on the books, but he wasn't a mage, so he didn't know how to activate those things.

Syllable!!

After reading it for a while, the goblin quickly closed the book.

Although it couldn't understand it, it knew that there was no need to continue looking, because it had basically figured out that this thing was very valuable, and it was likely that it would not be able to exchange all the goods they brought to Lordaeron and sell themselves?

And, if that little wizard wasn't lying, it should really be an artifact magic book? What's even more terrifying is that it may not be the book itself, but the magical knowledge and notes recorded in it that he can't understand!!

If he could, maybe he would only need to copy out those spell formations or something, and then sell them to those spellcasters, and he could make countless huge fortunes that he couldn't imagine in his life?

"Hmm......"

"You just said you wanted to change those ointments, right?"

If the business is done in good faith, there is no doubt that the value of the equivalent provided by the other party far exceeds the value of his goods, and the business will definitely not be done...... However, Rosa, the goblin who was unwilling to give up when the good things were in hand, still pretended to be a little embarrassed and asked.

"So, how many bottles do you want to change?"

If a few bottles were exchanged for this book, it would be the proudest deal of his life! However, in order not to let the other party see the clues, he still disguised his expression as real as possible, for example, showing an impatient or unhappy expression?

“……”

However, Hermione didn't speak, just stared at the book in the other party's hand for a while before taking a deep breath:

"I'm going to change ......"

"All your cargo! Including that magical space pocket where you carry the goods, that embroidered space bag!! ”

Finally, Hermione stretched out her hand, pointed to the small bag that was on the belt around the other party's waist, and pointed to the bag that had just been put out and taken back.

She didn't know how many things were in it, but she only knew that if she really had to change it, she was afraid that only then would it be a fair deal.

“!!”

"You, you're blackmailing! Don't you think!! ”

The goblin frightened a spirit, and then roared loudly as if he were jumping to his feet.

However, what it thinks in its own heart, perhaps, only it knows, but it is certain that it is not quite the same as the angry and corrupt appearance it appears.

"I don't have time!"

"Goblin, whether or not you are blackmailing, I think you know it in your own heart!"

"If you can change it, the book will be yours immediately, and you can dispose of it! If you can't change it, give it back to me!! ”

Hermione didn't want to talk nonsense with the other party, and directly stretched out her hand to the other party.

To be honest, she was a little uncertain now, and at the same time, she was secretly on guard, and a silent spell on her wand was ready to be launched at any time. Anyway, if the other party is not fooled, she will let it go, directly use the spell on the book to bombard these goblins, and then kill people and goods, grab their things and run!

And if the other party changes, she will run as soon as she saves Fleur, as far as she can! As for why she did that, she would explain it to Harry later after she rescued Fleur.

"Hmm......"

"No way!"

"At most, it can only be exchanged for half, and this 'embroidered deep-sea bag' of mine is precious, it must not be exchanged for you!!"

The goblin pretended to hesitate for a moment, then gritted his teeth and stretched out his finger to gestur.

It could see that the little witch in front of her seemed to have some knowledge, and if it weren't for the other party's eagerness to treat the dying female companion, she would definitely not take out the book easily.

"No!"

"I'm going to ask for your bag plus all the goods inside!!"

Hermione was afraid that once she compromised, she would let the other party see that something was wrong, so she could only grit her teeth and insist, and pretended to have suffered a big loss, but she had to do it like that.

"You!"

"My friend, business is not like you, you are asking prices all over the sky, sitting on the ground to pay back, do you understand?"

Although the goblin was ecstatic, it still looked angry, and still did not want to agree to the other party's trade request so easily.

"So be it!"

"All my goods are for you, but this bag can't be given, it's our dinner guy, but I accidentally got it from a Titan Ruins, it's no worse than this broken book of yours!!"

After thinking about it, the goblin thought that it would be a good idea to leave the bag and the books and give them all to the other party? Anyway, its bags are worth a lot more than those goods! Of course, the value of the bag seems to be a little far from the book it holds?

Anyway, now it can save a little, after all, it has to pay its subordinates wages and compensation for renting airships.

"No!"

"Either make a deal, or return my book!"

Hermione still gritted her teeth and insisted, not giving the other party the slightest room for bargaining.

"You!!"

"This won't work, this plan of yours is too greedy, I will suffer a lot!!"

The goblin was a little angry, he wanted to jump over and pat the other party's hand to make a deal, but he couldn't help suppressing the ecstasy and pride in his heart, for fear that the other party would see the slightest clue.

However, one thing can be confirmed: although he said that and showed an attitude of 10,000 unhappiness, he had no intention of returning the book at all.

In any case, now that the book is in his hands, there is no way he can return it! In fact, if he hadn't agreed to the deal in his heart, he would have taken the risk of letting his subordinates kill the two unknown little wizards in front of him with knives.

“!!”

"You don't want to give me the book back?!"

Hermione, who thought that the other party didn't want to give her medicine, didn't want to make a deal, and didn't want to return her book, her face suddenly changed, and she gradually raised the wand in her hand, and was ready to start grabbing it with some kind of preparation.

After all, for the sake of Fleur, she was going to get those plasters anyway, even if it was to attack or kill these seemingly innocent goblins at all costs! Because, she and Harry have already lost a companion, and now they will never let Fleur die in front of herself and Harry like Krum, never!!

"Hey! Feed! ”

"Wait, don't get excited......"

Seeing the other party's small movements, the goblin's expression suddenly froze, and then he quickly waved his hand and took two steps back.

"Alright! All right! ”

"My friend, you won, and that's it!"

"Time is money! Take it, hurry, or your friend will bleed to death. ”

The goblin, who pretended to be helpless and seemed to have suffered a big loss, took off the embroidered deep-sea bag on his waist and looked at it affectionately before gritting his teeth and throwing it directly into the hands of the difficult little witch.

It can be seen that the other party doesn't seem to be easy to fool, and it still has some strength, so let's leave this matter at that, it's okay for it to suffer a small loss.

“……”

Slightly stunned, Hermione suddenly felt a little empty and ashamed in her heart?

However, for the sake of Fleur, after thinking about it, she still gritted her teeth, and after holding the embroidered deep-sea bag tightly, she quickly walked to Harry's side for the first time, then opened the bag, took out the inside, and after finding the way to use it, she didn't care about how many goods were still inside, and directly took out a bottle of the plaster worth a hundred gold coins that the other party had shown before.

"Goblins!"

"What the hell is going to do with this thing?!"

After a moment's hesitation, Hermione turned back to the goblin in the distance, still looking distressed.

"It's easy!"

"Pull out the arrow, then quickly apply a whole bottle of plaster and stuff it directly into the wound, and you will see its magical effect!"

The goblin Rosa, who was uncomfortable on the surface, but was already satisfied in her heart, did not continue to be a demon, but directly and generously said her own way. After all, if the woman died, and the other party thought that the plaster was a fake, it would be too bad for them to fight each other.

Now they don't want to fight the two little wizards, even if they think they have a better chance of winning? And it also believes that the other party must not want to fight, otherwise it would not have taken out the book in its hand.

“……”

"Are you sure?"

Hearing each other's words, Harry and Hermione both seemed a little hesitant, not knowing whether to trust each other or not.

"Never question the credibility of a goblin merchant, my friend!"

"I must responsibly warn you: if you don't hurry, she's going to die! If she dies, you can't rely on our potions, you know, it's not a resurrection potion! ”

The goblin's expression became agitated again, and then he pointed to the strange short-clothed woman who had fallen to the ground, with a crossbow bolt stuck in her shoulder socket, and her face became more and more pale.

“……”

"Harry......"

There was no other way, but after uncorking the ointment and smelling it, Hermione, who didn't seem to be a fake, thought she should give it a try, after all, it was probably a little more reliable than the healing spell she had never used before?

"Hmm!!"

Finally, after Hermione used a golden barrier shield to protect herself, Harry, and Fleur just in case, they quickly crouched down and began to rescue Fleur in an emergency manner according to the goblin method.

“!!”

"Hermione, great, the ointment seems to be real!!"

Harry couldn't help but cheer excitedly when he saw that the ointment was able to stop the bleeding quickly and heal Fleur's wound at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Because Harry knew that Fleur was saved, and they didn't lose a second companion, which was something to celebrate!

"Of course it's true, how can it be fake?!"

"But she has lost too much blood, and when she wakes up, you can pour her another tube of that life potion, and take both external and internal treatments, and it will be almost fine, and she can recover at least eighty percent of her injuries......"

"For the rest, in a few days, you will continue to give her ointment and life potion, and then eat more meat, and she will definitely be able to recover completely in three days."

The goblin said proudly, although he felt a little sorry for his treasures, but he was still very confident in the effect of the goods he had gotten.

“……”

"Harry, let's go!"

Shapeshift!!

After grabbing Fleur and then asking Harry to grab his arm as well, Hermione didn't dare to stay for a moment, and directly teleported away in one direction with a longest-distance apparition, and disappeared directly in front of the goblin in a black smoke.

‘……’

'Head, did you really give them all the goods?' ’

After confirming that the witch had teleported away, after a long time, two goblin stalkers slowly appeared beside the goblin Rosa and asked in a low voice.

"Of course not!"

"Only the embroidered deep sea bag is still there! Let's not talk about it yet, let's pack up and run!! ”

After saying that, after the goblin hurriedly stuffed the book into another smaller demonic bag around his waist, he hurriedly urged the two guards to pack some necessary things and leave here quickly.

As for the broken airship that might never be repaired, he didn't want to care anymore.

'Boss! Why are we running? ’

'yes, head, why are we running?!' ’

Regarding the behavior of the goblin boss Rosa, the two goblin subordinates expressed great puzzlement.

“!!”

"Fool, if you get a big bargain, you won't run and wait for them to come back?"

After saying that, the goblin walked around the dilapidated cargo compartment of the airship, and after casually tidying up, and after feeling that there were no previous or important items, he quickly carried the other big gun in the cabin of the flyship, and then waved his hand to signal his two men to leave with him.

Goblin Rosa wouldn't tell her two foolish subordinates that it wasn't actually afraid of the two witches, but that the arcane archmage in the other party's mouth would come to her door to find her bad luck! Although, it had obtained the book by legitimate means, but if it was facing an arcane archmage, it would certainly not pin its hopes on the premise that the other party was reasonable.

‘……’

‘……’

At the same time, Hermione, who had instantly shifted to the distance, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hermione ......"

"Did you really sell that book to the goblins? It's a gift from Professor Anne, and I can see that it must be important!! ”

Seeing that the surroundings had changed places in an instant, and knowing that the three of them had teleported to a distance of several miles, Harry first glanced at Fleur, whose injuries had stabilized but were still asleep, before asking Hermione worriedly.

Because he felt that Hermione was really a loss in exchange with those goblins.

"Harry, you can't blame me for saying it......"

Hermione looked a little ashamed, or rather ashamed, as if she had done something bad?

"Why should I blame you?"

Harry, who didn't understand why the other party said that, couldn't help but be a little confused.

"Look!!"

Taking a deep breath, Hermione stretched out her hand, and then the magic book that had been traded to the goblin appeared in her palm at this time, which was very magical and decent.

"It's ......"

"Hermione, how did you do that? Is that a 'flying curse'? ”

Harry blinked, a little incredulous.

Because he was very sure that the other party had indeed handed over the magic book to the goblin just now, but now, how could he come back in the blink of an eye? Even the 'flying spell' he used on the first event of the Triwizard Tournament probably wasn't so fast.

"Hey......"

"Harry, I just wanted to change a bottle of ointment and a bottle of life potion, but I was afraid that the goblins would find out, so I had to ......"

had to reluctantly deceive the other party of all the goods......

Of course, Hermione still couldn't say that, because her face was almost red to her neck! This kind of thing is really too difficult for her, a good girl, and a girl who abides by honor, discipline, morality, and legal principles!

And if it weren't for Fleur, she wouldn't have done that kind of shameless thing, right?

"Forget it!"

"You'd better see for yourself!"

After saying that, after Hermione saw that Harry was still in a daze, she directly handed the magic book to the other party, and opened it, clicking on its basic properties on the first page for the other party to see:

————

"It's ......"

After reading the properties of the book, Harry suddenly felt a little dumbfounded, he could see that the book was good, but he couldn't tell what was good...... However, he vaguely knew why Hermione was running, and why the other party appeared with a wave of books.

"So, Harry, do you understand?"

"It's a soul-bound item, and it can't be traded, even if that goblin gets it, but, as long as I want to, a thought can directly recall it!"

"I'm sorry, Harry, though, I forgot to use it before......"

After apologizing, Hermione decided:

From today onwards, for the sake of her own life and that of her companions, she must make good use of this amazing magic book! Because, no longer in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but in this dangerous world, she didn't want to bother with the Triwizard Tournament anymore.

Now, she thinks the safety of herself and her companions is the most important thing!!

Of course, if she could, Hermione wished she would never run into that goblin named Rosa again! Because she knew that when the other party found out that the book in her hand was missing, she would not be too happy......

Maybe you'll be sad or angry because of this, swearing your name every day, or maybe you'll start to become melancholy? But no matter what, Hermione only hopes that the other party can look away, because she really didn't mean to.

"That's ...... so"

"But Hermione, what are we going to do now?!"

Now that Fleur had been rescued, and Hermione's spellbook had been returned, Harry just wanted to know what they were going to do next. You know, it's getting dark now, and if you don't find the Prince of Arthas, I'm afraid the three of them will have to spend the night in the wilderness!

Harry was very worried about this!!

Because he knew, and he believed Hermione knew, that there were all kinds of dangers in the vicinity right now, not only the plague, the undead, the stone giants, the amphibian fishmen, the gnolls, and the goblins who would surely trouble them!!

"I don't know ......"

"Maybe we can try it again with phantom shifting?"

Hermione, who couldn't recognize the direction or direction at all, could only tentatively suggest to Harry......
