The limited patience quickly ran out, and the new Minister of Magic slowly drew his wand - since the subtle influence of momentum didn't work on the goblins, then don't give a good face at all. As long as he relaxed the restraint of the killing ** buried in his heart, the murderous aura that rushed to the sky immediately poured out from Lockhart's body and enveloped the entire hall of Gringotts.

――

As long as the goblin in front of him said a word, he violently enforced the law.

The aura of terror froze the entire hall, and even the two strikers standing behind Lockhart trembled with fear, not to mention the goblins standing in front of him.

There was a commotion nearby, and a wizard wearing a hooded robe stepped out of the queue and ran out the door without looking back.

"Go find out what's going on with that man!" Lockhart ordered his henchman in a tone of non-deniance.

The two strikers shouted to stop as they chased after the wizard, and the target actually took out their wands and attacked the two strikers.

More strikers also quickly chased after him, quickly subduing him. An ordinary Death Eater who doesn't even have the Mark of the Dark Devil and wants to sneak out his money and escape from England.

"You see, there are already Death Eaters who want to take things away. Lockhart turned to Bogrod and said. "This proves the need for an early search, and once again and for the last time, I ask for your cooperation. ”

――

The elves, after hundreds of years of peaceful life, have long lost the spirit of their ancestors who dared to revolt against the rule of wizards. I only know that we are guarding the "Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance", but we forget that peace needs to be supported by a strong enough deterrence. Whether it's Voldemort or Lockhart, they can be easily handled.

"Okay...... Mr. Minister, we will cooperate with the investigation......" Bogrod stammered, not daring to mention any more principles and treaties.

"Good. Lockhart nodded in satisfaction and retracted his momentum, and the people in the hall felt like they could breathe again for a moment. "You guys. Go and clean all the vaults of the Death Eater families on the list, bring them back to the Ministry of Magic, and check them carefully!"

Originally, Lockhart wanted to go into the vault one by one to find the golden cup, but now that the soul fragments on Harry's body were gone, no one in the world could sense his last Horcrux except Voldemort himself in the air - so the safest way was to take all the things back and examine each cup-shaped thing, and the idea of confiscating the Death Eater family property came to me recently.

Before, even though it was known that certain families secretly supported the Death Eaters. No one dared to do that...... Because every Minister of Magic needs the support of those big families to sit in place. But in the new order of the wizarding world planned by Lockhart, there is no longer a need for these pure-blood families with deep pockets. simply took a salary from the bottom of the kettle and cut off their thoughts - there is no money to use, and the people of these families will not be idle and bored to toss eternal life or something.

Of course, Lockhart didn't plan to be Minister of Magic for long. Do all the things that normal people don't dare to do that offend people, and after singing blackface, when the time is ripe, resign and step down, and hand over the slightly easier situation to Scrimgeer. Let him continue to sing with a white face......

――

The goblin quickly took a small bag that seemed to be filled with tinkling metal, and Lockhart guessed what was inside—a prop to deal with the dragon.

"I'll take you to the vault ......," the older goblin said through gritted teeth, as if feeling humiliated and unwilling.

"Go ahead. Lockhart clutched his wand in his hand and remained motionless, "You guys are batters in these chaotic times. They are all sorcerers with conscience and courage, and they must not be guarded and stolen. If someone wants to sneak something away...... I'm going to be angry. ”

Lockhart sighed heavily at the last word, no one dared to think about it at all, and the hitters obediently entered the coffers of all the families on the list: the Caro family, the Lestrange family, the Noether family...... Bags of heavy treasure were carried into the hall - although the wizards had room to expand the bags. But the weight can't be erased. Lockhart had to notify more Ministry of Magic employees with a note to move the items back to the Ministry.

"That dragon is seriously affecting the speed of the search!" a young striker complained to Lockhart, "and it's been howling and spewing fire." We've had to be careful every time we pass by, and we've had to stop it from attacking us with a jingle piece!"

"I'll deal with it. Lockhart said lightly, and followed the second strike man into the vault, ready to deal with the dragon.

――

Before he could get there, Lockhart heard the dragon's loud roar that made the stones tremble, and the grinding sound of the chain being pulled.

Confined to the ground for too long, the dragon's scales had become pale and loose, its eyes cloudy, bloodshot and pink, and its hind legs were heavily shackled, with thick chains attached to massive stakes driven deep into the stone ground. Its large, spiky wings tucked into its sides, filling the entire basement if unfolded.

But the moment Lockhart stepped into the basement, the majestic creature shrank into a corner like a kitten, not daring to make a sound, let alone breathe fire.

Although its eyes were not very good, it could clearly feel the terrifying killing intent of the wizard in front of it, and the powerful force that filled the air that made it unable to give birth to a trace of resistance.

Such a wizard it has seen one, and this is the second.

"Mr. Firedragon, we're searching the Death Eaters' vaults. "Please do well, cooperate, and stop making noise or spewing fire." ”

Of course, the dragon didn't understand what Lockhart was saying, but it knew what to do intuitively—it was sure that if it didn't cooperate a little, it would be killed in an instant.

――

Seeing that this dragon was so well-behaved, Lockhart was embarrassed to do it for a while. If Hermione had been here, she would have been so impulsive that she would have held his arm so much that she couldn't even lift her wand.

He reined in his murderous intent, and the dragon still cowered obediently, only its massive belly rising and falling slightly with the sound of heavy breathing.

I can't believe that even dragons are afraid of the new Minister of Magic! A few goblins stood next to Lockhart trembling with a jingle that made the dragon uncomfortable, thankfully not making any small moves to thwart the search.

"Let's release this dragon in two days. Lockhart chuckled softly, and the dragon shook nervously. "From now on, there won't be a few wizarding families whose wealth needs to be guarded by dragons. ”

Even if there is, it must be a wizard of the Order of the Phoenix!

――

All pure-blood family coffers that support or have someone in their family who is a Death Eater have been looted, and a Death Eater who wants to get money has been caught along the way, which can be regarded as a bumper harvest. The moved items were piled up in a medium-sized warehouse at the Ministry of Magic. Dozens of wizards spent a day sorting out all the cup-shaped items, and after testing, they found no Horcruxes.

"Looks like you don't need to sell what's in the vault. Lockhart said with some regret, "Even if the things here are melted into gold without looking at their own artistic or magical value, they will be enough for the Ministry of Magic to pay five hundred employees in advance for ten years." ”

"Hmph, the key is that you didn't find the Horcrux!" Cyrith shook his head, "And the Ministry of Magic doesn't have five hundred employees now, what are you going to do next?"

"Search the homes of pure-blood families as well. ”
