Chapter 0045 There must be a troll who wants to murder the old man
"Oh! Meilin's beard! Who can tell me what's going on here?" An old man with a long white beard, wearing a brown long-distance running, and a pointed wizard hat hurriedly pushed open the heavy gate of the Guling Pavilion, and walked in vigilantly.
In the current Gringott Hall, there is no longer any sense of prosperity and solemnity in the past. Instead, there are various traces of fighting everywhere, including broken tables and chairs and shattered marble support columns.
The wall near the ceiling on the left and the large floor-to-ceiling window were broken into a big hole. The broken bricks and broken glass fragments were piled up on the ground! Also, there was a scent of Dumbledore that made him feel very familiar and friendly, but he couldn't remember for a moment, where did he smell this smell?
A large group of Gringott Fairy Staff who should have been at work were whispering, wailing in a low voice, tied up with one foot by a magic rope like a flame, and hung upside down in the air of the bank hall of Gringott. No one dared to struggle, nor did anyone dare to try to untie the magic rope on their feet.
Other Guling Guards and dozens of Aurors from the Ministry of Magic were tied to the fairly intact marble pillars by the same red spell rope. Some of them had long been unconscious, while others lowered their heads in a frustration and did not dare to move at all.
Dumbledore also saw some human stone statues with strange movements on the ground on the other side? He never remembered that there were such stone statues in the hall of the Wizard Bank of the Gringott. Could it be that those unsavory fairies just bought them?
The only minister of the Magic Minister, Foggy, was like a frightened chicken, trembling with his head down. He was now standing aside in a regular manner, not daring to say a word in a daze. His wide wizard hat also covered his face. When Dumbledore looked at him for the first time, he could not recognize him.
At the end of the hall, the entrance to the vault of the Gringott Bank was also in a mess!
The floor there was also covered with bricks and stones and other unknown debris, as if it was squeezed out from the inside by something particularly huge? And there was still a head lying in the corner of the hall... Uh? The burning was actually a giant dragon skeleton? But what was the flaming giant bear sitting on the giant dragon skull?
Seeing the burning dragon skeleton, Dumbledore finally woke up. He finally remembered what the strong fragrance he smelled just after entering the door, it was the smell of barbecue dragon meat! That's right, it's this smell! It's this familiar burnt smell!
Principal Dumbledore missed this smell very much! Back then, he slaughtered several giant dragons under the name of studying the various uses of dragon blood. At that time, he had skinned and cramped and removed bones from those giant dragons, which not only made him a big profit, but also ate a lot of dragon meat.
Thinking about it now, I really miss it... No wonder, as soon as he entered the door, he always felt that the fragrance was so familiar. So that's how it was! But, ahem, it's better not to mention the things back then, it's just a young and frivolous man. Dumbledore had already washed his hands and stopped washing his hands. He is a person with status now, so how could he do that kind of thing?
The above is the first sight that Albus Dumbledore, the principal of the Hogwarts Magic School, is recognized as the greatest wizard of the contemporary era, the recipient of the first-class Merlin Medal, the founder and confidentialist of the Order of the Phoenix, the president of the International Federation of Magicians, and the chief wizard of Wiesengamor, saw after entering the Gringott Bank.
Originally, Albus Dumbledore didn't plan to come to Gringot today. In his original itinerary, he might not have to come to the bank in a few days to get some money and store some important things, but it would definitely not be today!
However, when he was about to have afternoon tea, someone suddenly sent him an emergency message saying that something big happened at the Gringott Wizard Bank and needed him, the recognized most powerful white wizard, to help! So he had to reluctantly disrupt the schedule in advance and hurriedly moved to Diagon Alley with a phantom, wanting to come over and see what was going on here.
But who knew that after he pushed open the door, he actually saw this situation?
When I saw the scene for the first time, I was so scared that he was shocked! I almost thought that Voldemort little Tom was resurrected again! However, he also knew that this idea was unlikely, because at the end of last semester, the little Tom's rebellious boy was just a pitiful ghost. How could he be resurrected so quickly? Even if you give him a hundred magic stones, it would not be so fast! Rebirth is not a trick to play with people, so the procedures and potions required are so complicated.
"So it's you! Fudge? Are you here too? Then tell me quickly, what's wrong here?" Dumbledore, who was not sure about the situation, finally found Fudge, the Minister of Magic, who was trembling with his head down at the gate. He was also the Minister of Magic? Why is he like this aggrieved young wife now? He almost recognized him just now.
Minister of Magic Foggy also discovered Dumbledore at this time, but did not dare to answer his question directly. Instead, he looked up and looked up at the little girl in the middle of the hall. Foggy was scared just now. The strength of that little girl was really terrible! Foggy couldn't imagine that there would be such a person in the world?
Thinking about earlier, when he first received a request for help from Guling Pavilion, Forge had naively thought that at most, some dark wizards were full and had their brains crazy, they wanted to attack Guling Pavilion Bank. Those crazy people who attacked the bank in a bad spirit would only want to earn a gold coin at most. He didn't take these things seriously at all! In his opinion, Guling Pavilion was so easy to get along with?
But adhering to the principle of doing things in public, since such a big incident occurred in the Gringot Wizard Bank, the fairies also sent messages to the Ministry of Magic for help, then, as the Minister of the Ministry of Magic, he must pay attention to it in terms of emotion and reason. So, at the first moment, he led dozens of Aurors who were on duty in the Ministry of Magic to arrive at the scene with phantom movements.
But never thought... Alas! Now Fuji was full of tears when he thought about it! Just now, their group came here. After finding out the situation, dozens of Aurors under him launched a fierce attack on the little girl. At the same time, the Guling Pavilion also released their killing weapon at the right time: the ancient white dragon guarding the vault! Then? Then it disappeared, nothing happened!
The ancient white dragon was roaring and was overturned to the ground by the magic creature thrown out by the little girl. It was sliced in just a few seconds! Then, the flames on the magic creature that were even more terrifying than the Lihuo were slowly burned into the skeleton in front of him. The magic creature was still sitting on the dragon skull watching the show! It was the hideous flaming giant bear there. Otherwise, how did you think the entire ancient Ling Pavilion hall was still filled with the smell of barbecue that had not yet dissipated? It was the masterpiece of the flaming giant bear! It was so cruel... Before they could hear the sound, an ancient dragon disappeared just like that?
The Aurors in the Ministry of Magic were even more unbearable. They pulled out their wands from their wand covers and had just taken offensive action. They were all disarmed for no reason. Then, like toothless tigers, they were easily tied to the stone pillars by the red spell ropes that appeared out of thin air. They had not even had time to issue a magic, and they were wiped out!
Melin! Those are dozens of powerful Aurors! Plus a powerful ancient white dragon! Such a powerful combination cannot last for three seconds? Even when the mysterious man is at its peak and at its most rampant time, I am afraid that he will not be as cruel as the little girl in front of him?
Let’s not talk about the dragon, just talk about the Auror!
If the mysterious man dared to conceit himself and challenge dozens of Aurors, Fudge would dare to teach him how to be a human being in minutes! No one can challenge dozens of Aurors alone, neither Dumbledore nor the mysterious man! Neither of them can do this! But now? It is such a little girl who looks harmless. She did it, and it was done with ease and appropriateness! So, does Fudge dare not be timid now?
Following Fudge's frightened gaze, Dumbledore finally noticed the two little girls standing in the middle of the hall. One of the smaller little girls was roasting on the crackling fire with a piece of strange piece of meat. He recognized what the piece of meat was at a glance. He was very familiar! And the things that the little girl was throwing into the fire one by one? Hiss! It looked so familiar? Then, those woods were a bunch of magic wands, right? What a prodigal girl! How much does it take to be Jin Jialong?
Then, Dumbledore was completely stunned after concentrating on the little girl!
Because he had just felt an extraordinary fluctuation of magic power in the blonde little girl. At that moment, Dumbledore, who was knowledgeable, even thought that he was seeing the God of Magic!
Dumbledore never thought that any wizard would have such a level of magical fluctuations in his body, which would never have been there in the wizarding world! Even if Merlin reborn, it would not be possible to reach this level! Not to mention Dumbledore or Voldemort's rebellious boy.
After clearly realizing the horror of the little girl in front of him, Dumbledore's first thought was: There must be some unruly people who want to murder me! How could this little girl be dealt with?
Who would it be? Who wanted to kill someone with a knife? Could it be Fudge, an unfamiliar ungrateful wolf? Is he not the courage? Or is it the remnants of the Death Eaters under the rebel boy Tom? This is a bit possible, right! Who just sent a message to trick him here? Dumbledore felt that after this matter, he must check it carefully.
Dumbledore helped up his reading glasses, quietly wiped his cold sweat, and at the same time released the old wand that had been holding tightly in his sleeves. He no longer had the intention to do it, nor did he dare to have this intention! Perhaps, he shouldn't come here today? This matter was not something he could interfere easily. If he was not careful, he might lose his life! If he pretended to have gone through the wrong door now, I wonder if it would be too late?
After applying a cold sweat again, Dumbledore had the intention to divert his gaze and looked at another taller girl. Oh! Fortunately, it was a good thing! This taller girl is more normal, and her magic fluctuations are not much different from those of normal peers. Hum? Why does it look familiar? He quickly held up the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked carefully.
"Miss Hermione Granger! Is it you? How could you be here?" After discovering that the girl next to the little girl was her own student, Dumbledore finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Have an acquaintance? It’s good to have an acquaintance! If you have an acquaintance, you can prove that things will be discussed!
For Dumbledore, no matter how bad things are, he is not afraid of it. He is afraid of not having an acquaintance! If no one on the other side knows, then he may not even have the opportunity to negotiate, which will kill him!
And now, it is obviously much easier to deal with. Because the cunning Dumbledore found that his student seemed to be quite familiar with the little girl? They were all standing together and it was impossible not to know each other. That would be easier to deal with. He had already thought of a solution to the messing things today.
"Deng, Professor Dumbledore?" Hearing someone greeted him, Hermione finally came back to her senses from her state of being stunned and numb.
The ups and downs of what happened today were so great. Until just now, she was still in a state of shock. However, Hermione also knew that she must have had a big deal!
Thinking of this, after seeing the familiar Principal Dumbledore, Hermione even cried and almost burst into tears! You know, she is just a twelve-year-old girl. Today she is a witch burning fairy, a capture of Aurors, and a smashing the Gringott Wizard Bank. How did this end?
"Okay, okay! Miss Granger! Stop crying, can you explain in detail what happened here? And who is the one next to you?" Dumbledore reached out and patted Hermione on the shoulder and comforted her.
After finding Anne frowned and staring at him with some suspicion, Dumbledore was so shocked that his hand stretched out almost retracted and almost ran away! He really wanted to say loudly: This is not my business! I just passed by and wanted to come in and persuade him to fight. If you don’t listen to the advice and still want to fight, I will never say anything and turn around and leave immediately! Anyway, I am not very familiar with them!
"Woo~! OK, good professor!" Hermione sobbed for a while, wiped away the tears from her cheeks, and then she roughly told the story...
"So that's how it is...I understand!" After Hermione said it carefully from beginning to end, Dumbledore, who knew the incident, finally calmed down a lot.
Dumbledore felt that as long as the matter was determined, it would be much easier to do. He also sorted out the context in his mind and restored the story of the matter: the little girl Anne came to the Gringott Wizard Bank to exchange ancient gold coins. The fairy employee of the Gringott was willing to see the money and misled the little girl's hard-earned money! Then, the conflict happened like this. The most important thing was: the fist of this group of fairy was not as hard as the little girl. In the end, the little girl burned to death by the little girl to guard one of the fairy guards, the culprit was burned to ashes, and the ancient white dragon burned into skeletons damaged several property buildings and broke them... and burned several magic wands. That's right, the matter was probably like this.
Very good! Dumbledore immediately sorted out the matter. In his opinion, this matter was from beginning to end: the little girl's approach was a reasonable and legal act of legitimate defense, and she had absolutely no responsibility! The employees of the Gringot Wizard Bank should bear the main responsibility when they saw the money! The Ministry of Magic took action without investigating the truth, and only had to bear secondary responsibility!
That's right, this is how I deal with it. This is my husband's way of dealing with it, perfect! Dumbledore nodded secretly to the way he decided to deal with it. If anyone has any objection, go to the little girl to make a decision and don't come to find me! Are you very idle when you are a husband? I have a lot of things to do and are busy!
"Then it's easy to do!" Dumbledore stretched out his old magic wand with satisfaction, waved at a fairy hanging in the air in the hall, and rescued Bogrod, the big leader of the ancient Ling Pavilion fairy. As for the other fairies that were still hanging, it's nothing to do with him? Keep hanging! Anyway, I can't die! If I hang for a long time, I will suffer from cerebral hemorrhage. Wouldn't it be better to take more medicine?
"Bogrod, have you heard everything about Miss Granger just now?" Dumbledore narrowed his eyes slightly and hinted at the fairy leader with his eyes, meaning that he would take the initiative to take responsibility and recognize his mistakes! Otherwise, Dumbledore would have to leave his hands alone.
"Listen, hear it clearly. We did this wrong! On behalf of Gringot, I would like to express my sincere apology to Miss Anne, and... our Gringot Wizard Bank is willing to pay ten times more... No! We are willing to compensate you for your losses a hundred times more!" My fists are not as big as others, and the helpers I have found are not very reliable. In addition, when I am in a loss, Bogrod, who has been exhausted, finally admitted his conscience.
As for the majesty of the Gringott and the fairy, it has been thrown into some unknown corner by it. Is it important to be a serious person? This is still easy to distinguish between Bogrod. At present, it is finally easy for someone to be a peacemaker, so let's save your life first.
In fact, this incident was caused by the damn ring pulling ring from beginning to end! It was a pity that it died early, otherwise, after this incident, Bogrod would have to poke it into ashes! That bastard would have to make trouble, but he would have to take the blame for it?
"Then, your name is Anne, right? You can call me Albus Dumbledore, and I'm very happy to know you. By the way, I almost forgot to ask, how many ancient gold coins did they miss you in total?" Seeing that things were perfectly solved, Dumbledore was very relieved! It seemed that his old face was quite useful and could eat anywhere.
"Oh! Probably this number!" Annie saw that the white-bearded old man seemed to know the young lady Hermione, and she didn't want to continue fighting like this, which was too boring! So she followed the opportunity to expose the matter, but it was still necessary to lose money, so she stretched out a tender palm.
"Oh? There are only fifty gold coins? Not many, not many! This is simple." Just fifty gold coins are also dark. These demons from the ancient Ling Pavilion are really getting back and forth. I guess they thought these two little girls were easy to bully at first, but what happened? Haha! Dumbledore suddenly felt that their fairies deserved to be beaten. His casual appearance fee was probably higher than these fifty gold coins?
After hearing only fifty gold coins, the fairy boss Bogrod, who had been hanging his heart, finally let go! A mere fifty ancient gold coins, even if they were exchanged for gold Jialong one to three, the maximum compensation of 100 times was only 15,000 gold Jialong. This was a slight meaning to the wealthy Guling Pavilion, which was full of wealth, it was a drizzle!
Bogrod felt that this little money might not be as much as the cost of repairing the Gringott in the future? It was all that damn pull ring! It actually caused the Gringott to suffer such a huge loss for just fifty gold coins? If the dragon was added, the loss would be astronomical!
"No! It's not like that, professor! It's not fifty, at least five thousand! Maybe more! Because, there's such a big pocket! And the owner of the pet store can also testify that she suggested we come to Gringott Bank to exchange it." Hearing Principal Dumbledore say that there were only fifty, Hermione was anxious and quickly stopped. She also gestured at the size of the pocket with both hands.
This matter cannot tolerate Hermione not being anxious. If they really dare to deal with fifty gold coins, then maybe little Annie will have to fight with them. You know, Hermione has had enough of today, and she no longer wants to stay here and be scared! She just wants to go out and find her irresponsible father quickly and go home as fast as possible! Oh, and so! Before going home, she has to pick up the big-faced cat first. Even now, Hermione doesn't want to break her trust.
"How many, how many? Five, five thousand?! There are so many?" Dumbledore was also slightly surprised at this number!
If that's the case, that makes sense.
No wonder that the witch who was trying to do something, Dumbledore felt that if it were him, he might be a little moved? How much is my annual salary? How many hundred Jin Jialong? It should be less than one thousand? Tsk tsk! A little girl is richer than me... But what does this have to do with me? I don’t have to pay compensation!
"Bogrod? Did you hear it too? Do you have any objections? If so, say it earlier." Dumbledore began to gloat at the fairy leader who was sitting on the floor. He also began to make up in his heart. If it was more than 5,000 pieces, how much would the Guling Pavilion pay?
"No, no objection!" The fairy leader lowered his head deeply.
Damn Merlin! If this is the case, their Gringot Bank will compensate the entire 1.5 million Jin Jialong! Bogrod seemed to hear his heartbreaking voice, that was a 1.5 million Jin Jialong... That damn! It's so damn! Although it has been burned to ashes, Bogrod still has the urge to find its soul back and torture it for ten thousand years.
"By the way, and you, Fudge!" Dumbledore suddenly turned around and looked at the Minister of Magic who was still sleepwalking. "This matter is over now. Everything today ends here. You Ministry of Magic should have no objection, right?"
"Opinion? No, absolutely not! I agree! I agree!" Hearing Dumbledore's words, Forge reacted with a shiver and immediately raised his hand to express no objection. He had wanted to leave this hell place and didn't want to stay for a moment!
At first he thought that he came here just to catch some thugs and other things, and could also show off his achievements, put them in newspapers, etc. But now? He didn't have to steal chickens and lost some rice. Not only did he not get the credit, but he also made a fishy body, which made him lose his face!
Moreover, their Aurors also lost dozens of high-performance wands! This is also a lot of money!
This cannot be allowed to pay for the Ministry of Magic. Fauci felt that after the matter was settled, he had to send someone to talk to the damn fairy leader immediately, and he had to let them bleed. In addition to compensate the Ministry of Magic for the losses, he would also compensate himself for his spiritual comfort! By the way, there are those Aurors, who, as ministers, cannot eat alone.
