HP in the name of Slytherin

The place Shafiq chose to land was in an alley diagonally opposite Gringotts.

Just as he was about to lower his head and tell Catherine, he saw a snow-white head on Catherine's other hand.

The body is hidden in the girl's sleeves, only a dragon-like head pokes out, holding a dark mysterious gem and white feathers, nibbling on a green apple.

Noticing his gaze, the basilisk turned its head slightly, glanced at him with an indifferent look, and took another bite of the apple.

"Mr. Shafiq?" Catherine called him.

Shafiq stared at Haierbo with drooping eyes, "Is this... a descendant of Apep?"

Catherine pretended to be innocent and raised Haierbo a little, "Yes, do you know him?"

The corner of Shafiq's mouth twitched, as if he was trying to make a smile, but failed. He finally raised his head and looked at Catherine with a dull face: "The descendants of Apep are very difficult to raise. You raised them well."

After he finished speaking, he turned sideways and said, "Let's go."

It seemed that he was just looking at it curiously and did not continue to pay attention to Haierbo.

[Master, he is no longer interested in Haierbo.] Haierbo can hear subtle sounds, such as heartbeat and blood flow rate, and can often judge a person's emotional state. [Obviously I was a little excited when I saw Haierbo just now. . 】

Catherine followed Shafiq's footsteps and whispered to Haierpo: "You are special after all, baby, let's take a look." 】

The little basilisk flicked its tail, cheering up the old wizard who had put its master on guard.

Catherine's last and biggest support is Haierbo. The fully formed little basilisk is immune to all magic and physical damage. If it catches Catherine at the critical moment, it can leave directly.

Its only weakness is hunger and loss of sanity after high levels of hunger.

Climbing along Catherine's wrist to the coiled collar around the owner's neck, Haierbo saw the Gringotts guard bowing to Shafiq who was walking in front, but instead ignored its owner and let out a dissatisfied hiss. , Catherine quietly stuffed a small piece of candy to comfort her.

[Nasty goblin. ] Haierbo muttered while chewing the candy.

Catherine didn't feel offended at all. She came to Gringotts to save money with the surname Apep, and the amount of money was not huge. Naturally, it was not as good as the head of the Shafiq family, who was in a high position and was famous in the wizarding world.

After just a few steps, a middle-aged goblin walked over quickly and offered to greet you, "Master Shafiq, welcome~"

As he spoke, he bowed deeply, and then asked, "Is there any business that needs to be done today?"

"Gold, I have brought another distinguished guest," Shafiq lowered his head and said to his exclusive service manager, and sideways led Catherine beside him, "Miss Catherine Slytherin, come to receive it, Your Excellency Salazar relics."

The goblin named Gilded was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the gray-haired little girl next to Shafiq...especially the basilisk on her neck that spit out snake messages at him, he immediately shuddered, "Please, please do this Come over here!"

Shafiq's voice was not quiet, and some goblins who were handling business in the hall looked towards him.

The wizards who came to Gringotts for business on the weekend were whispering, and Catherine could hear them saying her father's name as she walked.

"Salazar's daughter..."

"A descendant of Slytherin..."

She liked this title, which diluted the sadness caused by the repeated mention of "relics".

After the news of the sorting ceremony a month ago, the wizarding world had already reported on Catherine's existence. It's just that she has been at Hogwarts, and no one outside has ever seen her in person.

She walked with a dignified manner, ignoring her age at the moment. Whether it was her identity as the daughter of Salazar or the vigilant basilisk around her neck, they all showed her extraordinary status to passers-by.

Gilded took the two of them to the VIP reception room on the side of Gringotts, and asked people to bring tea and snacks. He also went to invite the president upstairs, who was as busy as a large spinning top.

For such an important matter, even if he is a senior manager who specializes in serving distinguished guests, he still has to go to the door to act as a doorman and service staff.

"Miss Slytherin, Mr. Shafik!" The current president of Gringotts invited the two of them to sit down first. "I didn't expect to have the honor to meet Miss Slytherin. No matter how many legends there are, they will pale in front of you!"

After he finished speaking sincerely, his eyes looked at Haierbo intentionally or unintentionally, "Of course, there is also the legendary snake god."

None of the currently known basilisks can look at each other. There is only one basilisk in the book that does not have this "ability" to reverse operations, which is the descendant of the snake god Apep.

Some people call them basilisks, while those in the Mediterranean area simply call them snake gods.

[Master, he looked at Haierbo with strange eyes! 】 Haierbo complained and shouted a warning at the president.

Catherine touched Haierbo's head. From this title, you can tell the depth of the president. In this case, it can save a lot of trouble, "Now that you know, about the things my father left..."

The president reluctantly withdrew his gaze and said to Catherine: "Of course, Lord Salazar made a contract with the goblins before Gringotts was officially established, and the goblin family has been passed down from generation to generation."

As he said this, he used fairy magic to summon a very ancient scroll.

It is ancient because it is made of parchment that was commonly used thousands of years ago. It is actually very well preserved. When it floats in front of Catherine, she can feel that there is powerful protective magic attached to it, which not only protects the scroll itself, but also protects the information recorded on the scroll. content.

Catherine took the scroll and pulled it open. The nearly two-meter-long scroll was densely filled with entries.

The beginning is an agreement between the two parties, and the following is the specific things.

Including precious mithril, meteorite, a large amount of gold, gems, magic crystals, magic materials, alchemical materials, real estate, books... and even...

——Sir Salazar will invest in all subsequent properties of the Goblin family with gold and real estate. Miss Catherine will have 10% of the profits and 5% of the control rights of these properties.

In other words, some shops in Gringotts, Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade Village, and even goblin industries outside the UK...

Before, Catherine was still thinking about how to make money to maintain her dignity as a Slytherin. Unexpectedly, Salazar from thousands of years ago had already thought about it for her. She found the most profitable goblin clan, stipulated a good ratio through a strict contract, and let the goblins earn her more than a thousand years of money!

Up to now, the footprints and industries of goblins have spread all over the world of magic, which means that Catherine's industry has also spread all over the world!

Even Catherine couldn't help but lose her breath for a moment, as if she could see the old Salazar's exhaustive thinking before his death after she left. She didn't pay too much attention to the various belongings on it, but saw the last line. It says...

——A personal letter from Lord Salazar.

That was the last message her father gave her thousands of years ago.

"The key," Catherine said to the president.

The goblin gave a very friendly official smile, "Miss Slytherin, although the snake god who came with you can prove your identity, please take a look at the content of line 32."

——After being proven to be Catherine Apep Slytherin herself and the heir of the Slytherin family, you can obtain the following items...

Catherine had long thought that the goblin might regret it. Since the contract said so, it meant that Salazar also acquiesced to this change.

Who is the real fool?

Catherine asked: "Are you asking me to prove that I am my father's heir?"

The president smiled: "Miss Slytherin, you are Lord Salazar's most important treasure. I think Lord Salazar must really hope that you will inherit the Slytherin family... You won't let him down, right?"

A thousand years have passed, and the goblins are no longer the weak race that was in danger after being chased and intercepted by Muggles after the death of the gods. After keeping Salazar's relics for thousands of years, it is undeniable that his gold and real estate gave the goblins their initial capital and habitat, but...

They didn't mean to embarrass Miss Slytherin, after all, these things are so important, aren't they? Salazar also anticipated this, leaving room for both parties to move.

If the goblin wants to go back on his word, that's fine. If Catherine can't inherit the name of Slytherin, she won't be able to get Salazar's inheritance.

But if Catherine passes the test, the goblin must fulfill her promise.

Fair enough, right?
