Elves are an intelligent and mysterious race that exists in the wizarding world and has a unique society and culture of their own race.

However, just as wizards are full of distrust of goblins, and goblins have never trusted shamans, the relationship between the two has been fraught since time immemorial.

Especially after the Lich War, even after the huge goblin empire has been defeated, the wizards have not relaxed their vigilance against the goblins.

Until now, elves have not been able to have a wand of their own.

Luckily, goblins are different from wizards, and their natural talent for magic allows them to rely on the help of wands as much as wizards do.

It's hard to say if it's because of this talent that wizards feel threatened, which causes wizards to be wary of goblins.

The difference between the elf culture and the wizard culture is undoubtedly huge, such as the Gryffindor sword and the metal currency made by the elves, and the concept of property rights.

In the wizarding world, the ownership of these things belongs to the purchaser himself, just like in the Muggle world, but in the concept of elves, an item always belongs to its maker.

That's why after Gryffindor was condemned dead, the elves were bent on reclaiming the Gryffindor Sword.

For in their opinion, the Gryffindor Sword was only temporarily lent by the elves, and after the death of Gryffindor, the wizards should exchange it for their true master.

There are many more concepts like this that cannot be unified at all, and it can be said that there are too many to mention.

Therefore, as long as there is such a difference in concept between wizards and goblins, they are destined to fail to achieve true integration.

Even now in the wizarding world, goblins have integrated into the magical society, and the degree of integration is already very high.

It could even be argued that without them, it would be difficult for the magical society to function properly.

But there seems to be an eerie balance between the two.

Differences often lead to tensions between the two groups, which are reluctantly bridged by mutual jealousy and forced compromise.

Again, both groups seem to be taking advantage of each other as much as they can.

At times, this relationship of mutual exploitation does not seem so solid.

At the end of the day, Gretel thinks it's because both sides lack genuine respect for each other.

While learning about the literature on the relationship between wizards and goblins, Glitter felt this intense sense of tearing.

Complying with the demands of the goblins to integrate into the wizarding world normally, but unwilling to give them the treatment they deserve, this kind of discrimination seems very unreasonable.

House-elves have also had wars with wizards, and as vanquished, they have been emasculated to pursue the spirit of freedom, which is in line with the laws of war.

However, the goblins, as the losers of the war, have strangely kept their position.

Even by virtue of the wizards' discrimination against their goblin status, they monopolized many industries, such as the technical processing of metal.

With their unique metalworking skills, their metalwork is even sought after by wizards.

Whether it's a weapon, jewelry, or anything else made out of a goblin, if it has anything to do with a goblin, the value of that item skyrockets.

Even over the centuries, the status of goblins has become more and more important, and even some wizards have to endure the contempt of goblins behind the counter when they enter Gringotts.

The goblins, who had rioted and rebelled frequently in ancient times, had clearly gained so much control and power economically.

Even a Gringotts could easily destroy the fragile economic system of wizards.

In this case, the goblins are still serving the wizards conscientiously, and it is hard not to wonder if they are trying to eat the wizards in this way of boiling frogs in warm water.

Anyway, humans are the best at civil wars, whether it's wizards or Muggles.

At the same time, no matter which side wins the civil war, it is inseparable from the financial system controlled by the elves.

As immortals, they are born with tickets to watch the fire from the other side, and as long as they don't end up, one day, the wizarding world will belong to them.

Of course, all of this belongs to Gretel's irresponsible inference, and he is not capable of dealing with the relationship between humanoid races and wizards until the entire human world is integrated.

Hair, blood, real name......

A lot of secrecy spells can guarantee the safety of the vault, and with a strong light, the organization's vault is finally tightly protected.

Compared with numbers, mountains of cash can always shock many people who think they are calm.

It's hard to image, the appearance of 20 million gold gallons piled up into a mountain is so charming, under the light of the torch, the eyes of people with golden light can't be opened.

Even though he had been firmly rejected on the way, Sherlock was still desperate to buy the communication spell from Gretel.

Speaking of which, double standards are really everywhere, and the goblins feel that everything belongs to their creator, and now they want to buy the wizard's brain, which is the core of Glitter's communication spell, for 100 million gold gallons.

You don't have to think about it to know that what they bought is definitely not the right to use the spell, and Gretel didn't speak, just smiled slightly sarcastically.

——

After half a year, Grett came to Godot again.

Because he had already been to Godot Town, and with Senidirgo under his leadership, Glitter finally didn't have to climb over the wall.

In the past six months, Glitter has corresponded with the current mayor of the town, Estragon.

Glitter knew that he regarded himself as the heir to their unfinished business, and that the old man in front of him, who was hunched up, had dedicated his life to the liberation of the wizard.

Even though he has failed, his fiery heart has not been extinguished.

In the first half of the year, the mobile phone market was stirred up by pirates to the craziest point, and everyone was crazy to smear Gretel.

The fiery old man almost rushed out of Godot with his wand.

Fortunately, before the operation, he was detained by Grindelwald.

Upon learning the news, Gretel dispelled the old man's thoughts with a sincere and confident letter.

Not to mention that he doesn't need help, even if he really needs it, he doesn't dare to let this old man who has fought all his life stand up for him.

The reappearance of the saint in the wizarding world is not something he can carry now, and the old man who sits firmly at Hogwarts will definitely not miss this news.

If Estragon had gone to the wizarding world for Gretel, Dumbledore would have put aside his quest for Voldemort for the time being and instead strangled the saints who had caused trouble in the wizarding world.

Incidentally, Gretel, the culprit, was imprisoned in Newmengard, or simply Azkaban.

The main purpose of coming to Godot Town is to thank Estragon and the old people who are desperately ready to help him.

If it was just Grindelwald's invitation, he wouldn't have come here at all, the two of them had different philosophies, and they didn't talk more than half a sentence.

Grindelwald never wanted to respect Muggles, just as wizards never wanted to respect goblins, centaurs, and other half-humans.

After centuries of strangulation of wizards by Muggles, the two groups of human beings seem to have split into two races.

The long way to go is not enough to explain the difficulties that Glitter will encounter in the future, if he really needs a word, it is probably a needle to pick the soil, and Dou Yishan can be described.

The conditions of Newmengard were far better than Gretel had thought.

It seems that the Dark Lord, who was the boss of the entire wizarding world, did not intend to torture those who opposed him when he built the prison of Newmengard Castle.

Although the cell is not large, it is fully equipped with all the necessary facilities for daily life.

Separate bathroom storage shelves, single bed with ventilated windows.

Grindelwald's cell was on the top floor of Newmengard, and when Glitter came up, he was playing an exciting game of wizarding chess with Vladimir.

Grindelwald has gotten rid of the withered appearance of the video half a year ago, with a ruddy face and smart eyes, like an old tree that has sprouted again, full of vitality.

Vladimir's face was less bitter and bitter, and his face was full of lightness and happiness, and it was clear that the pair of former companions had been relieved of their past suspicions.

Seeing Glitter come in, the old Grindelwald knocked down all the chess pieces, "Okay, okay, the guests are here, Vladimir, can I trouble you to help make a cup of tea and come back?" ”

"Gellert, this is the first time I've played tricks, what's the point of playing like this."

Vladimir blew his beard and glared, jumped up and left the cell in a rage.

Grindelwald also said in a funny way, "If it doesn't work, you will exchange with Estragon?"

He told me so many times that Godot had so many things to do, and his brain was about to explode. ”

Vladimir had already walked down the stairs, but the roaring voice still came, "No way~"

……

"Mr. McGregort, please be seated, speaking of which, this should be the first time we've spoken face to face."

Grindelwald unhurriedly put away the chess pieces on the small coffee table, and after emptying the countertop, solemnly invited Gretel to sit down.

It has to be said that the calm Grindelwald has a strange magic.

Even if it was ordinary speech, Glitter still felt the pressure emanating from the original Dark Lord.

"Don't be nervous, maybe you can think of me as a professor at Hogwarts, the same professor as Albus, I heard that you are very valued by him."

The two looked at each other in silence, and after a moment, Grindelwald burst out laughing.

"Sure enough, as Vladimir said, you're a natural anti-Regent, no wonder you're able to get under Albus's nose."

Gretel's eyes widened, he really couldn't understand this group of old guys, one by one, always trying to peek into the minds of other people's heads, didn't they know how to respect other people's privacy at all?

"Don't be surprised, I can tell you plainly, Albus must have recited these spells to you, and we have all studied these spells together.

He's not a pedantic man, he even has some dark spells, and he's studied much more thoroughly than I do. ”

Grindelwald looked out the window as if he were caught in a memory.

Gretel didn't bother the old man who was caught up in the memory, and cast his eyes on the small desk beside the bed.

Unlike the other objects in the cell, which are covered with signs of age, this small desk looks like it has only recently been moved here.

A few discarded quills are randomly inserted into the pen holder, and the ink of different colors is lined up and quietly placed next to the pen holder.

In the corner of the wall not far away, a few inkwells that had not been used up for a long time were lying proudly flat.

On the table was a spread note, which, judging by the ink, should have been written recently, and the ideas were marked with various colors next to them.

It seemed somewhat familiar, and Gretter looked over and vaguely saw a lot of familiar configurations.

"It's interesting stuff," said Gretel, who was still observing, when the old man who remembered the past finally came to his senses.

Seeing that he was a little curious, Grindelwald picked up the notebook and handed it over.

Gretel's feeling was right, he really should be familiar with it, and the communication spell recorded in his notebook was the one that earned him his first pot of gold.

"The last time I heard from Estragon that your spell had been leaked, he asked me to see if I could help you improve it.

As soon as I got my hands on the spell, I knew those people were going to suffer a lot.

It seems that my speculation is correct, and there is no reason why someone who can add so many redundant configurations to prevent decipherment should be mistaken in such a thing as secrecy. ”

Grindelwald was as if by chance, his index finger brushed the edge of the most core information processing configuration.

There's a configuration that Gretel has specially added to receive and release information.

Without this configuration, the phone can bypass the wizard's brain and increase its efficiency, but this also means that Glitter will lose his biggest weapon to threaten pirates.

Grindelwald had been observing Gretel's expression, and when he saw Gretel's brow jump, he instantly burst out laughing.

"This is the trap you dug for them.

Mike, don't mind if I call you that. ”

Grindelwald was talking to himself, not giving Gretel a chance to interject.

"Mike, there is a saying in the mysterious ancient country of the East, 'Mount Tai collapses in front and the color does not change, and the elk is prosperous in the left and does not look instantly', I think those who are masters must have such a bearing.

Actually, I haven't been able to decipher your spell, I'm just guessing.

But obviously, your Qi cultivation kung fu is not at home, and a simple temptation has made me determine the direction of my research.

But it's understandable, no matter how young you are, you're still a child.

If you really don't change your face, then I'll either compliment you on being confident in your design.

Or you can only wonder if you are a rejuvenated old guy.

If you have the chance, you can learn more about the mysterious East.

They also have secrecy laws, but the way they deal with Muggles should be very enlightening. ”

When Glitter left Newmontard Castle, he took a stack of notebooks with him.

Unlike Dumbledore's vague statement that he had given him notebooks, Grindelwald told him plainly that these notebooks contained thoughts that he and Dumbledore shared when they were younger.

Many ideas, he has understood over the years, and those few extra notebooks are the analyses he recorded when he passes the time these days.

At the same time, he tells Gretel that he doesn't have to worry about anyone breaking his spell.

In the current wizarding world, there is no one who dares to risk his life to break other people's spells, except for Gretel, a newborn calf who is a tiger.

When he received the invitation, Glitter thought that Grindelwald wanted to teach him his experience of failed rebellion, and even prepared a stomach full of rebuttals to it.

Who would have thought that it would provide him with a bunch of research materials.

He flipped through it roughly, and there were many bold ideas in it, such as Dumbledore's attempt to combine a quick recovery with a restoration configuration, trying to create a spell that could quickly help people recover from injuries.

Of course, it was clear that they had failed, and the poor rat that had been used as experimental material had been stabbed into a sieve by the surging stubble during the spell.

The combination of rapid growth and flames nearly melted the cave they inhabited into magma.

Of course, the two of them have also produced a lot of results, such as the improved version of the Traceless Stretching Spell.

It was the result of the wisdom of the two of them.

Even because Dumbledore did not get Grindelwald's consent, he used this spell on Newt, causing freckles to be unjustifiable.

It's hard to say whether it was fate or not, and Grindelwald ended up at the hands of Newt and Dumbledore.

——

Glitter stayed in Godot for a month before leaving.

The cause was that in August, a vicious prisoner escaped from Azkaban.

All shop owners in Diagon Alley are subject to routine interrogation by the Ministry of Magic, especially Gretel's communication shop, which started as a messenger.

It is necessary to assist the Ministry of Magic in monitoring the communications of the prisoners.

Without thinking about it, Glitter knew that it was the same group of pirates who coveted the core of communications.

Not even a hint of suspicion is lacking, and in the history of the wizarding world, there has never been a situation where a merchant has been required to help the Ministry of Magic capture a criminal.

Sirius, no matter how stupid he was, couldn't have made an appearance in a place like this where wizards gathered.

This group of idle Ministry of Magic officials is undoubtedly the white glove of some well-connected pirates.

But since he still wants to mix in England again, he can't ignore the appeal of the Ministry of Magic.

Glitter had to leave Godot, who had no quarrel with the world, and return to that messy England.

At the Leaky Cauldron, Harry smugly shook his feet as he did his homework, feeling the freedom he had never felt before.

He never imagined that one day he would be able to get up whenever he wanted, carefree, and go wherever he wanted, as long as he didn't leave Diagon Alley.

Gretel pushed the door open from outside the bar and hurriedly asked Tom for a glass of ice water, he really hated the knight bus.

Saini, the store manager, accepted the management of the communication store in early July.

If Saini had been there, Gretel wouldn't have to suffer from the knight's bus.

Although his phantom transformation skills are not very good, it is also better to compare it with whom, at least compared to the knight bus, it is definitely comfortable.

Harry didn't expect to meet acquaintances in a bar, and he thought he would have to enjoy this freedom by himself before school started.

He knew that Boss Tom's niece was of the same level as himself, but the two of them really didn't know each other.

Unlike Gretel, they were going to be friends forever.

That's what he'd thought since the day he met Gretel.
