Take control of thunder and lightning from Hogwarts

Chapter 166 Land Deed and Keys
On the lower floor, a row of Gold Galleons was neatly stacked. After Anduin took it out, he counted it carefully, and there were a total of a thousand Gold Galleons.

"Good guy, I got 1600 gold Galleons alone tonight, which is not a small harvest." Anduin put these gold coins into the space purse with a smile in his eyes.

Then he took out the key and paper from the upper layer and studied it.

He put the key aside, first took out the paper and looked at it.

As a result, when he saw it, he immediately burst into joy. This was actually a land deed in Diagon Alley!

Moreover, it is an unsigned title deed officially certified by the Ministry of Magic. As long as you hold this title deed, the house and even the land will be recognized by the Ministry of Magic.

"I didn't expect the joke I made with Ms. Purnell to come true. This is a windfall. No wonder it has to be protected so closely. It's actually an unsigned title deed." Anduin thought teasingly.

This kind of unsigned title deed is very rare, and he had only seen some records in some records of pure-blood wizards before.

Most properties in the magic world don’t use such things as title deeds. After all, they are all wizards. Find a place deep in the mountains and old forests, and cast a few shielding spells. It is also okay to buy Muggle real estate or manor modification in the Muggle world.

But some special areas, such as Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade and other wizard gathering places are different. Each property in these areas has clear records, and must be registered in detail with the Ministry of Magic and issued a title deed. It can only be owned, and the unsigned title deed is even more special.

However, it requires very troublesome procedures to convert a normal land deed into such an unsigned land deed, and it must be approved by a senior official above the director level of the Ministry of Magic and the Wizengamot Councilor at the same time. Therefore, this method is currently used in the magic world Title deed real estate is very rare, of course because its advantages and disadvantages are too obvious.

Its advantage is that it is impossible to find out the real owner of this piece of land no matter which official institution it is in, that is, it does not need to be registered, it is very secretive, and it is officially protected by the Ministry of Magic, and no intrusion is allowed without permission.

Even places with strict real estate records like Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade can enjoy such rights.

Presumably, it should have been operated by the patriarch Travers of the Wizengamot, and a safe house was specially built to prevent the family from losing power or being targeted by enemies, such as being wanted by the Ministry of Magic. , there is a place to hide, and it is not easy to be traced.

This is second only to the method of using the Fidelity Curse, and compared to the complete concealment of the Fidelity Curse, this kind of real estate pays more attention to hiding the identity of the owner behind the scenes, and can also be used to protect public real estate, and more importantly, to buy and sell Simple, in simple terms, it is easy to bribe, the transaction is secret, it is simply to convert the assets of a house into a piece of paper.

It is estimated that if the members of the Order of the Phoenix used formal methods, they would still not be sure who this house belonged to. If they could find it, they probably found it by following Yaxley.

But the disadvantage of this kind of title deed is also very obvious, that is, it is too convenient to transfer. For example, now, when Anduin got it, it was naturally transferred to him.

Spreading out the title deed, Anduin transmitted the magic power to his fingers, swiped it under the title deed, and then the magic pattern on the title deed flickered for a while, and the magic circle on the title deed recorded his magic power fluctuations, so that the delivery of this land It's done, very convenient.

"Although this kind of unsigned title deed is highly confidential, it is too easy to change the owner. If it is stolen accidentally, it will be very troublesome. It is better to take the time to go to the Ministry of Magic to convert this title deed into an exclusive title deed." Will After closing the title deed, Anduin made up his mind.

After collecting the land deed, he turned his attention to the key again. It is brass-colored and small in shape. There are three circular perforations in the handle. It looks like it can only open a small lock.

After he picked up the key and fiddled with it for a while, he didn't find anything special, and there were no magic fluctuations on it, and the material was identified as ordinary Paraser brass.

At a loss, Anduin turned his head to look at Karkaroff, held up the key and showed it: "Do you know this thing?"

"This is..." Karkaroff leaned his head closer for a closer look, and replied somewhat uncertainly, "It looks a bit like the key to the Gringotts vault."

"The vault?" Anduin's eyes lit up, yes, it makes sense why he kept the key in such a tight safe.

"Yes, it looks like it should be. I had a similar one before." Karkaroff reconfirmed.

"Then with this key, you can directly access the corresponding vault?" Anduin asked hastily.

"That's not sure." Karkaroff shook his head.

"Why?" Anduin frowned slightly.

"Master, you may not understand Gringotts' management of bank vaults. Their vaults have different security levels. Ordinary shallow vaults can be entered as long as you have the key, and some vaults have to go in person in addition to the key. , if I don’t have to provide the permission certificate issued by the vault owner, the deeper vaults have higher security measures, and even have no keys, not only must I go there, but also need to be touched by the corresponding goblin administrator to open it.” Karkaroff broke his hands Finger explained to Anduin one by one.

"So that's it, then you can't tell what type of vault this corresponds to just by looking at the key." Anduin glanced at his mouth and said.

"Yes, this may only be known to Traverse, but generally the vaults with keys are relatively shallow ones. With the power of the Travers family, it seems that there is no need for a vault with such a low security level. They have family treasuries at a deeper level, where only people of the corresponding blood can visit, and compared to Gringotts, Travers is more willing to keep things in his own treasury. Ling Pavilion." Karkaroff explained respectfully.

"Oh, doesn't it claim to be the safest place in the wizarding world?" Anduin raised his eyebrows.

"Gringotts may be safe, but goblins may not be. Many families with a long history have participated in the famous goblin rebellion war. They have never been able to maintain trust with goblins. After all, they were once enemies." Kaka Love said.

"Understood, let's go up." Anduin ordered after listening to the explanation and clearing his mind.

"It's the master." Karkaroff responded flatteringly.

After leaving the basement, Anduin re-cast the spell against the wall, closing the door opening, and at the same time enchanted a protective spell on it, after all, this will be his territory from now on.
