Chapter 173: Remembering Dick

Gringotts blew up, literally.

Amelia Bones teleported to Gringotts with the Aurors on the Portkey when an unfamiliar voice called out among them.

"It's a goblin conspiracy, they're armed with Muggle weapons! Do the elves want to use Muggle weapons for a new war! ”

So the Aurors and the strikers went berserk in an instant, the war between the goblins and the wizards was a compulsory part of the history of wizards, and now this group of goblins wants to rebel, they must do it in advance!

"Broken bones!"

"Divided!"

"Faint!"

"Fack! Bob Dick you're not stupid! At this time, faint and fall to the ground! ”

The fat Auror known as Dick looked around suspiciously, but the goblins did not hesitate, there was not only money here, but also guns and ammunition in the Muggle world, and the hesitant Bob Dick was hit in the chest by the goblin who raised the gun, and he fell to the ground casually before he could cast the Iron Armor Charm.

"Dick is dead! Damn goblins! They killed Dick! ”

The signal of death passed between the Aurors and the strikers, and Amelia Bones had no room to think, he waved his wand and turned all the small objects around him into hummingbirds.

"10,000 bullets!"

The hummingbird, which was transformed into gold coins or bullets, became a rain of arrows, flying towards the goblins not far away, and the hummingbird's long beak was like an arrow nailed into the ground and the goblin's body.

Amelia Bones gave the Aurors an order: "Don't spare your hands, attack with all your might!" ”

The Aurors looked at the goblins around them, and the death of one of their comrades completely made the Aurors murderous.

Even in the movies, the Aurors are like policemen, often arriving after the event is over, but this does not hide their identity as elite combatants, even Dumbledore used the Aurors to test Voldemort in his confrontation with Voldemort. Voldemort, on the other hand, said that by the time the Aurors arrived, he would have left.

Voldemort did not have the strength of Grindelwald against the Ministry of Magic alone, he would only arm himself with fear and torture his men with madness.

The Aurors' skills were battle-tested, and their spells hit the elves with precision, but the elves' guns were beyond the reach of the Aurors.

Not everyone is proficient in the Iron Armor Charm, and when the first Iron Armor Charm is broken, the casualties reappear.

Amelia Bones looked at the situation before her and shouted to the Aurors, "Come to me!" ”

Every inch of Gringotts was protected by enchantments to defend itself against intruders, and Apparition was useless here, and only the assistance of a portkey would allow them to pass through these protections.

However, the Aurors did not dare to touch the portkey again, and they would all teleport to Lord Ringling, who knew that the elves had cast the above spell on it.

The Aurors protected themselves with the Iron Charm, and then gathered around Amelia Bones.

Amelia Bones shouted the most powerful spell she could use in her life towards the ceiling above her head.

"Thunderbolt Explosion!"

Pettigrew used the spell to blow up a street, and Amelia Bones, the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, blasted through the Gringotts underground with her blast spell.

In Diagon Alley, people first heard Gringotts' alarm bells, and wizards avoided Gringotts' location.

Except for three years ago, when I heard about the suspected invasion of Gringotts, there hasn't been anything like this.

Then, I saw the long white staircase in front of Gringotts bulge from the bottom to the top, and then exploded with a bang.

Shattered bricks and stones smashed onto the surrounding shops, causing Diagon Alley to be attacked in a cascading manner.

The Aurors flew out of the blasted hole, and Amelia Bones pointed her wand to her throat and shouted at all the wizards in Diagon Alley, "Goblin rebellion!" ”

Now I don't care if it's a goblin rebellion or not, and the bigger the trouble, the better.

The presence of the Aurors and the loud announcement of Amelia Bones sent tremors through Diagon Alley.

Then I saw that the shops of each house began to glow with various defensive spells.

At the same time, the Aurors' pleas for help were sent to the Ministry of Magic.

"What! Those goblins are going to rebel! ”

Fudge looked at the paper airplane flying into his hand in disbelief, it was a distress message from the Aurors. It clearly describes everything the Aurors saw inside Gringotts.

Gringotts, as a reserve for the elves, has always refused to allow anyone other than the elves to explore, and has arranged a large number of spells around it to prevent the prying eyes of those who care.

But for today's operation, the original plan was for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement to grab the goblin's pigtails through the portkey.

How did it turn into a battle with goblins? And even an Auror died?

How long has it been since the Ministry of Magic had an employee die? It's been more than ten years......

Fudge didn't think too much about it, although he was greedy for power and was always worried that Dumbledore would come to get rid of him, but Fudge was not a fool to sit in the position of Minister of Magic.

"Let everyone in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement go to Amelia Bones and control Gringotts in the shortest possible time! Let the Division of Magical Accidents and Disasters seal Diagon Alley so that no one can escape, and the Invisible Task Force sets up an enchantment to block the elve's apparition shift. Magical Beasts Management and Control Division, go find me a list of goblins working at Gringotts, and any goblins found in Gringotts' inventory that aren't on this list will be caught for me! ”

A series of three orders came out of Fudge's mouth, and the shorthand quill pen on the side quickly wrote down the orders sent to each executive division on the paper.

The pieces of paper folded themselves into paper airplanes and flew out of Fudge's office.

With the order, the entire Ministry of Magic moved, and one apparition after another moved to Diagon Alley.

Seeing that her colleagues from the Ministry of Magic had come to help, Amelia Bones was no longer alarmed, and he organized the Aurors who escaped from Gringotts, regrouped their defenses, and prepared to counterattack.

The Division of Magical Accidents and Disasters does what they do best is to corclose the area, and with their arrival, a translucent barrier directly encloses Diagon Alley.

At this point, the goblins who originally thought that Gringotts was under attack also found out that something was wrong. Gringotts can't afford to search, and the goblins try to move everything from Gringotts that would be suspicious, only to find that their magic is not working.

Since the end of the Elven War, all elves have had their wands confiscated and strictly forbidden to use them. Without the aid of their wands, the elves relied on talent and instinct to cast spells.

A wand is equivalent to a personal terminal, which can infinitely reduce the steps and wear and tear of individual spellcasting, but without a wand, spellcasting must start from coding. The elves have talents, but they are limited.

Especially under the joint attack of the Ministry of Magic, it became an empty talk.

Backed by the Aurors and Strikers, they counterattacked Gringotts and brought down all the moving elves.

What awaits the elves will be the judgment of the Wizengamot Council......

The Wizengamot is an organization that predates the Ministry of Magic and now acts as a combination of courts and parliaments, the equivalent of overseeing trials.

It usually consists of fifty magicians, including the Minister of Magic, the Senior Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Magic, high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic, and other prominent wizards. Dumbledore had long been a familiar wizard in the Wizengamot.

So when Dumbledore received the news, he rushed to the Wizengamot Council and participated in the trial of the elves.

All mages take the form of a ring staircase, surrounding the interrogated goblin in the middle, who is the bank governor of Gringotts.

The trial is conducted in the form of questions posed by the interrogator, the registrar is responsible for taking notes, and the final decision is made by a show of hands.

Fudge gave a rough account of the discovery and events that had happened before the Aurors were dispatched, and then shouted at the goblins below, "Goblins! You know that in 1631 the Ministry of Magic issued a decree prohibiting all magical creatures except wizards from holding wands! And in Gringotts, the Aurors found a lot of weapons and ammunition! ”

"Against! This is Muggle equipment! Not a wand! ”

To be able to hoard weapons, the elves naturally studied the legislation of the Ministry of Magic, and the previous decree clearly stated that the possession of wands was prohibited, but they were not prohibited from possessing firearms and explosives.

But now Fudge would not be deceived by such sophistry, he took out his wand and waved it, showing such a picture in front of everyone.

Outside the Brighton Hotel, it was suddenly blown open from the inside, and the upper four floors of the building collapsed to form a large gap.

"This was the attack on the Muggle Prime Minister at the Brighton Hotel in October 1984. As a result of the attack, five people were killed on the spot and countless others were injured! ”

"I've spoken to the current Muggle Prime Minister, Jim Harker, that on average there is a similar bombing every 17 hours in the country, and the investigation of these cases often leaves no lead!"

"But!"

Fudge waved his fist and revealed the information that the Aurors had scavenged, an arsenal that belonged to the elves.

"These bombs all come from the same maker, and the reason Muggles can't find out is because they're from the wizarding world! Who would have thought that the wizarding world would make those bombs and put them back on Muggles! ”

Fudge's words caused a stir in the Wizengamot, and everyone couldn't help but discuss the matter with the people next to them.

"Ahem......"

Fudge cleared his throat and waited for everyone to calm down, then said, "The elves don't have wands, but they do more Muggle killing!" This gives us reason to believe that the elves are plotting a bigger war! ”

"Slander! This is slander! ”

The elven governor raised his voice in the trial seat, wanting to protest Fudge's trumped-up charges. But the cacophony of surrounding discussions made it impossible for its protests to reach Fudge's ears.

Looking at the restless goblin, Fudge made up for another lore.

"In today's raid on the elves, we also lost a venerable Auror, Bobby Dick, a pioneer skilled in weather spells to create a blizzard, who died in the attack of the elves who defied censorship! Oh...... Let's remember Dick for a minute! ”
