Chapter 207: Bloody Gold

"This is an underground vault?"

"Yes, here it is... HSBC's underground vault is usually guarded by only two wizards. Scrimgeour looked at the white cloth-covered corpse on the ground, "They only had time to give the signal, and then they were killed by Voldemort." ”

"What about the losses?" Kano hurriedly asked.

Gold is minted into gold gallons by the elves in the wizarding world as currency. In the world of ordinary people, since the seventies of the twentieth century, when gold was decoupled from the dollar, it gradually withdrew from the sphere of circulation and existed mainly as a national reserve.

There are seven underground vaults in London, which contain not only Britain's own gold, but also large reserves of gold from other countries.

If Voldemort really eliminated one of these nests, the impact on the world economy would be immeasurable.

"Not a big loss."

Kano rolled his eyes: "Yes, it's not a big loss." No matter what Voldemort said, he must bite this statement to death. ”

The Federal Reserve's underground vaults are never audited or investigated, and they say that the gold that exists in other countries is still there, so who can do anything with him?

"I'm honest, the loss is really not big." Scrimgeour smiled wryly, "The vault is different from Gringotts, and no one usually comes here to withdraw money from a small bag with a traceless stretching charm. Therefore, there are magic circles engraved in Muggle vaults, and space magic and equipment cannot be used. ”

"This was set up by the Ministry of Magic hundreds of years ago, and it has been maintained for so many years."

"So Voldemort and those two Death Eaters ran away with the gold bricks?" Kano thought of that strange picture, Voldemort's image inexplicably overlapped with the hamster in the black cat sheriff cartoon of his childhood.

"Only two Death Eaters ran away with a few gold bricks." Dumbledore finally stood up, his face pale, "Voldemort and I fought again. ”

"How was this time?"

"I'm a little bit of a disadvantage." Dumbledore shook his head, "I'm getting weaker, he's getting stronger. After two or three more fights, I won't be able to stop him. ”

"How's it going over there?"

"I've just finished it, and I'll be able to go back to the UK the day after tomorrow." Kano sighed, "Are the documents ready?" ”

"I've never seen anything like this signed, but I'm ready." Scrimgeour said, "The Queen's papers have been obtained, and now it's up to you." ”

Several people exchanged a few more words and hung up the communication.

"Has the situation gotten worse again?" Fleur asked with concern.

"yes, Voldemort's mind is open." Kano nodded helplessly.

The bad thing about Voldemort's attack this time is that his mind is open.

Not every underground vault is guarded by a wizard, and there are magic circles that prohibit space equipment.

It really doesn't work, he can also use the Imperius Curse to manipulate the staff and transport the gold out of the country openly.

Voldemort's gang doesn't need to be taught when they do bad things.

"And the Muggles still have paper money, what if Voldemort robbed it?" Fleur was a little worried, "These pieces of paper are always transported around in the car, and they can't be protected." ”

Kano didn't care: "Even if the paper money is robbed, you can't buy things like potion materials in the world of ordinary people." ”

"Can't these banknotes be exchanged for gold galleons at Gringotts?"

"The elves have signed a magical contract with the government, and there is a limit to the amount of money that can be exchanged between the two currencies each year." "My classmate Hermione, who came from a family of dentists, wanted her parents to save a large sum of money at Gringotts when she was in second grade, but the elves refused. ”

"Because they want to exchange almost half of their net worth for Galleons, which will squeeze the exchange share of the other little wizard parents."

Fleur nodded thoughtfully: "In this case, there is only gold, which can be circulated directly between the two worlds without treatment?" ”

"Gold is naturally money, but money doesn't have to be gold." Kano sighed, "I think soon we'll hear the news that some small country's coffers have been wiped out." ”

At this time, Lucius was sitting in Gringotts' office.

In front of him lay seven or eight gold bricks, with numbers and bank insignia on them, and bright red blood marks.

But the elves turned a blind eye to this, busily checking the purity of the gold, and finally looked at each other and nodded.

"We can buy this batch of gold." An old goblin said in a hoarse voice, "But the purchase price will not be very high." ”

Lucius listened to their offer and became annoyed.

"You're robbing!"

The old goblin smiled gloomily: "Who is robbing, we all know very well in our hearts. ”

"This gold is simply not exchangeable in the Muggle world, and in the wizarding world, only we elves have the technology to melt gold into Galleons."

"If you don't want to, you can go out of this door and find other pure-blood wizards and exchange these gold bricks for Galleons."

"But you have to remember." The old goblin knocked on the gold brick, "We don't admit this thing, it's not money in the wizarding world." ”

"When the time comes, you will be approached, don't blame me."

Lucius snorted coldly and sat down again.

The goblins don't want gold bricks, and no pure-blood family will take over. They had to eat it, and Voldemort knew it.

He simply told Lucius that if he could get a better price, he could take a cut of it.

Lucius spent a lot of money to go out, and now that he was finally able to make a little money, he had to negotiate the price with the goblins fiercely.

Scrimgeour was sitting in another office, his teacup shattered on an expensive Persian carpet with Darjeeling black tea stained on it.

"Are you sure you want to buy the stolen goods?"

"What stolen goods? It's just gold. The old elf calmly continued what he was doing, oblivious to Scrimgour's anger.

"If you do this, it will cause serious conflict between wizards and Muggles. If a big war breaks out between the two, will you be responsible? Scrimgeour clenched his wand in his pocket and stood up.

"We only run banks, and Gringotts has never been under the control of wizards."

"There are countless underground vaults under our feet, at least half of which are of unknown origin, and almost every gold galleon has blood stained on it."

"But none of them are stolen goods, and in Gringotts, there is no such concept."

The old goblin seemed to remember something, and raised his head with a smile: "You can also let the Muggle bank open for exchange and exchange their paper money for these gold bricks." ”

"We also want to play in the Muggle stock market, but unfortunately the principal is too small now."

"You're playing with fire, goblins." Scrimgeour coldly dropped that sentence and turned to leave.

The old goblin didn't get up to say goodbye, and continued to bow his head and write something.

"The time may soon come to completely break free from the domination of wizards."
