Meanwhile, on the other side, Gringotts Wizarding Bank.

The Gringotts goblin manager looked at the Humpty Dumpty Witch in front of him, accompanied by a smiling face, and his tone was a little hesitant.

"Dear Deputy Secretary Dolores Umbridge, are you experiencing any difficulties?"

"What's the matter, I want to withdraw money from my own coffer, and I still need your approval?"

Dolores Umbridge snorted playfully, stared at the goblin in front of her with her two droopy eyelids, toad-like eyes, and repeated it in a cold voice with a slightly unpleasant expression.

"Take it all, at once! Do you understand?

"No problem! Of course, no problem! I'll arrange a guide for you. ”

The fairy manager in charge of receiving Umbridge rubbed his hands together in embarrassment, and lowered his body slightly.

"Guides?" Umbridge raised an eyebrow, "Do you mean to let me stand here stupidly and wait for your commissioner to call me, just like those wizards out there?Goblin, standing in front of you is the senior deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, Dolores Umbridge, not just ordinary wizards you can mess around with, understand?!, just take me to the vault, I have the key myself...... Now!"

"Yes, yes! Absolutely. ”

Gringotts' elven lobby manager humbly bowed his head, just enough to hide the hint of anger that flashed in his eyes, and then continued to raise his head with a smile on his face, and shouted at the elven attendant next to him as he walked forward quickly.

"A bunch of idiots, what are you doing in a daze!? Don't you see that I'm going to take the honorable Minister Umbridge to the vault to withdraw money, hurry up and find someone to come over and temporarily support the reception in the lobby, understand?!"

Hearing the shrill scolding of the goblin manager, several goblins who were still standing on the side quickly came back to their senses, ran towards the back of the bank, and quickly ordered something to the other operators around them in goblin language.

Turning around, the goblin manager glanced at the witch behind him and bent down respectfully.

"Minister Umbridge, please come with me. ”

......

Half an hour later, at the entrance of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank.

Dolores Umbridge subconsciously turned the money bag in her pocket, and the money bag that cast a variety of spells perfectly stored all the gold in the vault, which was all she had saved for a long time.

Humpty Dumpty Witch raised her eyebrows, turned her head to look at the tall, thin wizard standing in the doorway waiting for her, and said with a slight threat.

"Malfoy, you'd better not let me find out you're lying to me, or you'll ......"

"Minister Umbridge, rest assured, the Malfoys are willing to bear all the losses if they do occur. Merely...... You're sure you haven't registered someone before, right? When you get there, you'll have to fill in my references. ”

"Got it, got it, why didn't I find out about Lucius before, why are you so long-winded?

"Okay, then let's talk ...... as we go"

Umbridge, accompanied by Lucius Malfoy, hurried out of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank.

The manager of the Gringotts fairy lobby, who was originally smiling, turned around and left the busy bank hall directly, and walked towards the straight elevator leading to the underground behind without looking back, and the situation became more and more serious.

Counting Dolores Umbridge, this is the eleventh Ministry of Magic official in the past two days to ask for all deposits to be emptied, such frequent large-scale one-time withdrawals have made it even more difficult for Gringotts, whose original capital flow has collapsed to the limit, and the situation of demolishing the east wall to make up the west wall has become more and more frequent, and several times it has even almost been exposed.

However, according to this progress, it will be a matter of time before that day appears.

Given the dire situation, Gringotts Wizarding Bank must find out why as soon as possible.

............

Time, April 9, evening.

Gringotts, Council of Elven Elders.

Except for the two elders who were still in charge of foreign affairs in the former Soviet Union, the eleven eleven elven elders, including Leos, all sat at the semicircular conference table, and in front of them, dozens of elf executives from various departments stood.

Grand Elder Groin coughed lightly and said in a hoarse voice.

"Let's talk about the recent situation, especially in terms of our vaults and banking business. ”

Grunt~

Saza, the director of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, who is mainly responsible for the daily external savings business, swallowed his saliva, raised his head and looked at the elven elders sitting in front of him, then looked at the other elves, and asked cautiously.

"Great Elder, is there really a problem with our Gringotts' capital chain?

Groin narrowed his eyes, a hint of irritation flashed in his eyes, and replied in a cold tone.

"Director Saza, this is not something you should worry about, you just need to report your situation!"

"Dolores Umbridge from the Ministry of Magic came here during the day," Fairy Saza said, shaking her body and frowning, "Like other Ministry of Magic officials before her, she took all of her savings at once, but luckily we urgently withdrew some of them from Lestrange's vault, so there was no exposure...... We've confirmed that the wizards who currently have access to Lestrange's vaults are now imprisoned in Azkaban, and if not surprisingly, when they die, the wealth will return to Gringotts. ”

"It's just...... Nowadays, this way of borrowing back and forth has become more and more difficult...... Although there has been a steady stream of new gold gallons minted, the number of withdrawals and withdrawals have skyrocketed in recent times, and it is almost beyond our normal tolerance range...... Great Elder, what the hell is wrong with Gringotts?"

"What the hell is going on? Shouldn't that be the question we asked you?"

Groin slapped the table heavily, his face became serious, "Over there at the Ministry of Magic, didn't we just give them a batch of extra income, why is it useless? Where did all that gold gallons go? Could it be that these wizards plan to use gold coins to build a pure gold tombstone for themselves?!"

"I secretly asked...... The wizards didn't say anything, and they would be scolded if they asked too much. ”

Saza shook his head bitterly, glanced at the elder seat that seemed to be about to be furious, thought for a moment, and quickly added, "But the guards standing at the door in charge of security have heard some exchanges between wizards, if nothing else, it should be related to the whereabouts of the money...... There was a lot of miscellaneous, and most of what the guards could overhear and write down was a sentence or two when the wizards were arguing......"

The director of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank paused, and said helplessly, "When most wizards come to withdraw money, there will be a wizard next to them to persuade them, and sometimes there will be disputes for various reasons...... The most common thing that happened to the guards was that the wizard who withdrew the money would sometimes accuse the other party of being a liar and listen to the ethereal rumors......"

"Oh, is it another statement that the mysterious man is about to be resurrected and the world is going to be in chaos? It seems that the joint statement of Albus Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic has not played a role in the slightest, what a group of stupid wizards......"

Groin sneered, when rumors spread some time ago, Gringotts had already paid attention to this matter, and even spent a lot of gold Galleons to find a way to get the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore to jointly issue a statement to refute the rumors.

Unexpectedly, after the rumor refutation statement came out, it was only less than a week or two, and the rumors floated out again.

"No, it's not that ......"

Saza blinked a little strangely, and shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, "It seems to be a more absurd statement, saying that if you put the gold and gold gallons together, you can give birth to a new gold gallon in one night, and of course, you can also give birth to silver sike and copper nat...... In short, just put the money somewhere and you will receive a double ...... the next day"

"Gold coins and gold coins together can produce new gold?!Who would believe such a crude scam?"

There was a burst of disdainful laughter from the elders' table, and the elves sitting behind the round table shook their heads, they had already looked down on wizards who couldn't even calculate the interest, and now they had developed a disdain for the intelligence of wizards in the wizarding world.

"That's right, normally, after an argument, both wizards break up. It's just ......"

The director of the Gringotts Wizard Bank nodded with a wry smile, "Judging from the current situation, these wizards usually wait at the door of the bank early the next morning, insisting on withdrawing all their deposits regardless of the situation...... It looks like they're really capable of ...... Received the gold...... Because these days, there are more and more people withdrawing money......"

All...... It's back...... Empty ...... Receive gold......

With Saza's voice, the low laughter that lingered around the table of the elf elder council gradually stopped, Groin was slightly stunned, his fingers tapped lightly on the table, his eyes wandered between the surrounding elders, and his expression became solemn little by little, and even a little hideous.

"You just ...... What did you say?"
