International students at Hogwarts

Chapter 53: A fish sees food but does not see a hook; man sees benefits but does not see harm
Durmstrang is a magic school located in Northern Europe that is famous for teaching black magic and repelling witches.

Like Hogwarts, Durmstrang is unplotable.But what's even more outrageous is that not only Muggles don't know where it is, but wizards don't either - even if you've been studying there for seven years.

Because in order to ensure that the address is not leaked, they will use the oblivion spell to erase the memory of the visitors and students about the school address.So Durmstrang is the most mysterious of all magic schools.No one is sure where it is located except the headmaster and trustees of Durmstrang.

But there are always exceptions.Grindelwald's mana is unpredictable, and even if his memory is erased, he can still deduce the general location of Durmstrang.He was the only outsider who could possibly know Durmstrang's location.

After getting out of trouble, Grindelwald first gathered believers in Germany, then defeated the Ministry of Magic of the Soviet Union, and then hundreds of saints and the devil disappeared without a trace—until a few days ago, Karkaroff found him near the school. traces of the activities of the saints.

This made him more uneasy.

Grindelwald is looking for Durmstrang!Karkaroff was pretty sure.He was also sure that nothing could be hidden from a Dark Lord.As long as Grindelwald is willing to spend his energy, Durmstrang will definitely be found by him.

What is he doing with this school?It can't be to apply for a teacher, can it?The board of directors discussed with Karkaroff, and decided to simply throw this hot potato to Gringotts, which has a big business, and then they hurried away.

They even found a place to run: Dongying.The situation there is special, beyond the reach of European and American magic circles.

Karkaroff sent a message.If the goblins knew that Grindelwald also missed this magic school, they would definitely "invite" Karkaroff out of Gringotts.They'll also charge him a meal bill.

In the eyes of the goblins, Karkaroff and the directors are like a bunch of prodigal sons.This is Durmstrang, one of the three famous schools in Europe!They actually want to sell the whole thing!At first they thought it was Durmstrang who wanted Gringotts to take a stake.

The goblins gradually understood the feelings of the Americans who wanted to buy New Orleans from the French, but Napoleon forced the whole of Louisiana.

The only question now is: why?It doesn't make sense!
The goblins were a little confused.But they have already sent elite operators to investigate.

At this time, a young goblin walked into the VIP room and whispered a few words in Estes' ear. Estes relaxed, smiled, and looked at Karkaroff with interest. "I understand your behavior. Durmstrang's recent economic pressure is not small, right? And you, Igor Karkaroff, seem to have failed to invest recently, and owe a large amount of usury to the traitors in the United States ? Tsk tsk tsk, if you want to borrow money, why don't you come to us at Gringotts, the interest rate must be very favorable, isn't it?"

He laughed out loud after speaking, and the VIP room was filled with joyful atmosphere.

Karkaroff's face turned pale as if his cards had been seen through.He ordered another cocktail, and Estes laughed, saying that even if Karkaroff wanted to drink a ton of wine today, Gringotts would give it to him for free.

"A school that is not doing well, we really have to consider the purchase price, after all, Gringotts doesn't want to lose money." Now it's Estes' turn to speak slowly, "And it seems that it only has four floors, and only To light a fire while casting a spell? Hogwarts is way above that."

Durmstrang, as Estes calls it, has become worthless, like a piece of junk stock.But the other older elves in the room frowned when they heard Estes say this.They cursed in their hearts: This damn dude doesn't know how to negotiate at all!
Sure enough, Karkaroff felt relieved after hearing what he said.I'm not afraid of your criticism, your attitude is simply making it clear that you want to buy and take advantage of it.

"Durmstrang has a long history. It existed as early as 1294. Such a school has a long history." Karkaroff emphasized Durmstrang's long history, "If your price is not Appropriate, at worst, I won’t sell it. There is not only one bank opened by goblins. There is also Gringotts in the United States.”

"By the way, I would like to remind you that although the castle is not as large as Hogwarts Castle, we have more extensive grounds and magnificent scenery. In addition, there is a mountain lake behind the school. These sites are Hogwarts. It is three times the size of the Tzu. And it is said that Durmstrang also hides the way to control the Kraken."

Estes' face froze.This time it was Karkaroff's turn to laugh.

"Do you think we can still negotiate normally? Don't consider lowering the price."

"Okay." Estes said a word through his teeth.For goblins, no gain is loss.Missing such a big loophole just now made the young minister vomit blood in his heart.

Karkaroff took out a horn cup from his arms, which was densely engraved with strange symbols, and there were five holes of different sizes on the cup. "This is Durmstrang's 'title deed', on which is the New Feysac script - a form of rune magic script. Don't try to be fooled, there are still five 'powers' in the hands of the five elders of the board of directors, You can't hold Durmstrang with only the deed of horns."

The fire of greed that had just ignited in Estes' eyes quickly dissipated, "You are joking, Gringotts has always been based on integrity. Here you don't have to worry about the safety of your property."

He forced a smile.

……

In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed.

During this period, Karkaroff and the goblins engaged in a lengthy negotiation tug-of-war.The goblins never expected that the wizard in front of him knew economics very well.This is totally different from other wizards!The other wizards are not even good at converting Garon Sikhnut.

"You have such profound knowledge of economics, how could you owe such a huge sum of money in the end." Estes couldn't help complaining.

"Those who drown will always be able to swim." Karkaroff replied coldly.

In fact, this is all an illusion made by the board of directors to paralyze Gringotts-of course he really borrowed a usury loan for this, and the school is indeed in financial problems due to excessive expenses such as stipends.

"I can make some more concessions. Durmstrang's ghost ship can also be sold to you. These ships can travel underground. They are ancient relics, and the way of construction has been lost." Karkaroff said again from the mink coat He took out a glass bottle, which contained a small piece of ocean, and there was a shrunken ship floating on the surface of the sea. "Black Pearl, the ship that crossed the Seven Seas back then was also the fastest ship on the Seven Seas."

"That's an old calendar!" Estes retorted. "The Muggle ships are much faster now." He said no, but his body was honest.The three existing ghost ships in Durmstrang were purchased at a price of 200 million Galleons each.
