Being a bastard at Hogwarts is not safe.

Deep underground, in a treasury like a library, the old goblin Gringotts showed a mysterious smile on his face:

"To be honest, I don't really believe that a little wizard can start such an economic war in the wizarding world. You know, it must have a deep study of some theories in the Muggle world..."

Gringotts looked very old, but his body seemed to be quite strong, and even his speech was still full of spirit.

"I was really moved when I saw the student of my old friend. Don't be too polite, Brian, sit down quickly. The place is remote and it's not easy to entertain. Please sit down and talk."

Brian nodded with a smile, bowed to Gringotts, sat down on both sides of the table, looked at each other and smiled, but there were some thoughts in each other's hearts.

Sirius and Lynn Wallis wanted to follow in together, but were stopped by the person in charge of Gringotts who was guarding the door.

"You two, please wait here for a moment, the ancestor wants to have a private talk with Mr. Brian."

.......

When Brian speculated that Gringotts, the founding goblin of the same name, was still alive, he knew that it must have a certain intersection with his teacher Nicole May, and he even wrote to Nick Flamel to verify his own guess.

Such a conjecture is indeed extremely bold, but according to Brian's understanding of that bad old man, as long as he can make him recognize the people who have achieved alchemy, they basically become close friends, and Gringotts is not like Dumbledore. In addition to founding this bank in the wizarding world, he basically devoted himself to studying alchemy, and it is very likely that he also created a Sorcerer's Stone.

Of course, the main reason was that Gringotts was too calm in this turmoil. It was so calm that Brian was sure that the backbone of the Poseidon was still sitting here, which gave the goblins enough confidence.

"Hehe, little Bryan, what you have done this time has really caused us enough trouble for Gringotts." Gringotts seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and turned to stare at Bryan, dumbfounded. Laughing, he sighed in admiration from the bottom of his heart, "I'm afraid if I hadn't stopped them in advance, I think Charles would probably be ready to kill you."

Charles is the name of the goblin who is currently in charge of Gringotts and who is guarding the door.

Hearing this, Brian immediately understood something in his heart.A logical basis has been found.

First, although the goblin has some troubles in dealing with Fudge's reform, it seems that there is a corresponding way.Second, Gringotts' attitude was somewhat unpredictable, and Brian didn't even feel like blaming himself.

He pondered for a while, then bowed his head and said, "Some small tricks have made seniors laugh at me. I ask seniors to forgive me for causing losses to Gringotts."

Brian thought about it, but he gave up the initial idea of ​​probing.

This kind of wise man is not like Fudge. After living for so many years, he has probably been involved in any aspect, not to mention that he has shown enough kindness that he can't play false...

Although the previously expected information gap no longer exists, Brian has also envisioned such a situation in his calculations with Tom Riddle, not to mention that the current situation seems to be beneficial to him.

"Hahahaha, it's really troublesome. I guess, Brian, you are going to take action on Gringotts' security system next." Gringotts couldn't help laughing, and praised Brian's "candor" quite a bit. sentence:

"You are really good. Ordinary people may still make some excuses. They dare to admit it so openly in my territory. No wonder Nicole and Firenze mentioned you many times!"

Brian was a little moved when he heard this.

The goblin turned out to be...

Intersect with horse people?

Then, Brian immediately figured out the reason.

Although goblins gained a foothold in the wizarding world by virtue of Gringotts, centaurs and goblins are intelligent creatures rejected by wizards, and the divination of centaurs is also very famous in the wizarding world. It is not surprising that there is a connection.

Bryan even felt that Firenze had the potential to be a prophet, so it made sense that Gringotts should be associated with him.

"The teacher mentioned me to you?"

"Of course, he's so proud." Gringotts laughed. He thought this little wizard was really interesting. Not only was he funny, but he also had a good temper. There seemed to be many interesting things about him. "Nico said after accepting you as a student that he found the most outstanding student in the world, no matter what aspect.

Since then, I have started to pay attention to you. This time, I found that the Wallis family took small but frequent withdrawals of money from the treasury before the price crisis. I guess this should be your idea.Of course, I also really want to see how far you can do it, but I didn't expect you to dare to touch the currency itself.

However, since you came here to show that Fudge's reforms will not succeed, why do you have so many schemes at such a young age?Come on, what do you need Gringotts to do, and I'll think about it. "

Brian didn't hide anything. He thought about the wording for a while, and then he expressed his plan to cooperate with Gringotts. By the way, he also pretended to be Alvin to cooperate with Fudge. On the other hand, he arranged for the Flint family to acquire Sapphire. things were said.

Gringotts stared at Brian, then shook his head.

A 14-year-old boy with such thoughts...

"If you weren't already a student of Nicole Flamel, I really wanted to take you as an apprentice and make you the heir of Gringotts!

I can agree to what you said, not only because you are a student of Nicolas, and not entirely because Firenze told me that only you can seek a better future for the goblins and the centaurs.

I can judge many things from your demeanor, behavior and conversation when you first came in.

You never seem to worry that I will trap you here, even if Lynn and Sirius are locked at the door and Charles stares at them.

If I don't observe carefully, I'm afraid I will miss it too.You are so good at hiding, I am afraid that there is no student in Hogwarts that can match you. "

Bryan pondered for a few moments, bowed his head and said, "The students have only studied magic for three years, and they were lucky enough to have the meager strength they have today.

But the student is too young, if he suddenly shows all his strength, the school professor or the Ministry of Magic may suspect that it is related to the mysterious person, so he has to use a cover-up method.

It wasn't intentional concealment, and it had nothing to do with that person. "

Gringotts nodded, then shook his head slowly, and said, "I didn't say you were wrong, on the contrary, I think you did a good job.

Brian, in my style, I would never bet on you like Firenze, but you are indeed an excellent choice and deserve some investment in advance.

But there are a few things I still want to tell you. "

Brian immediately looked serious, sat upright in the chair, and listened carefully.

Gringotts raised his head, his eyes showed some memories, and he said slowly:

"The wizarding world is far less peaceful and safe than what you see."
