Hogwarts on the tip of the tongue

The rise of any species is bloody.

Even the most terrifying super-predatory overlord on this planet, the terrifying erect ape known as the most terrifying predator, human beings, will not go anywhere easy on the road to becoming the overlord.

Fire dragons, giants, elves, gnomes, thunderbirds, goblins... long before wizards learned how to master their own power, these ancient and intelligent species had already occupied every corner of the world. corner.

However, decades passed.

Along with the killings and conquests that were forever hidden in history, humans successfully dominated the world:

The giants were exiled to islands and mountainous areas with few human traces; the fire dragons migrated to desert islands far away from Muggle cities; the entire race of house elves and goblins were marked with the magic mark of servility, and spent their lives working for wizards... most of the past. Ancient races either died out or had to submit to the rule of wizards.

However, among all the magical races that have had wars with wizards, there is only one creature that is still active on the stage of the magical world even today, and that is the goblin.

Goblins are the only highly intelligent creatures that coexist with wizards in the social system.

It is true that wizards are never innocent, and goblins are not a kind-hearted race. Goblins can also be very cruel and bloodthirsty to wizards.

Thus, over many centuries, there have been almost as many wars between wizards and goblins as there have been against all other intelligent beings.

They have their own language system, which is complex and complete enough to support financial accounting and daily life under the modern social system. This means that the elf language is a mature language that is inclusive and self-renovating.

The completely different magic systems between goblins and wizards were their weapons to massacre and suppress the rise of wizards in ancient times.

In fact, if it weren't for the birth of wands and magic texts, humans who wanted to fight against goblins who could easily cast spells without a wand would usually have to endure a death-to-injury ratio that was five to ten times higher than that of goblins.

Not to mention, the goblins also master extraordinary smelting skills and mysterious magic weapon forging techniques...

All in all, this is an intelligent race that can be called a complete civilization.

However, as the positions of the two ends of the balance of power between fairies and wizards changed, the name "Fairy War" gradually began to be replaced by the term "Fairy Rebellion", and finally gradually changed to the name "Fairy Rebellion" that is still labeled today. "Terrorist" title, a "goblin subversive group" deliberately separated from the goblin group.

But unlike other races, the goblins relied on their wisdom to handle the relationship with the wizards in a timely manner - or in other words, they knew how to compromise and bundle their interests, and used their strength to obtain the only valid partner who sat on the same negotiating table with the wizards. Qualifications, and obtained their best weapon - Gringotts Wizarding Bank.

Both Dumbledore and Grindelwald knew this very well.

Therefore, when Elena presented a Hogwarts mortgage loan plan that could "gather" Gringotts' "wool", Dumbledore, after judging the risks and benefits, decisively chose to accept it and help together. Concealing the truth - all wizards are on a united front when it comes to trapping goblins.

However, it was one thing to defraud a goblin of money, but it was another concept entirely to overturn the entire Gringotts wizarding banking system.

"Miss Elena Kaslana, do you know what a terrifying behemoth you are facing?"

Dumbledore lowered his head slightly and looked over the top of the glasses at Elena. He did not immediately mock or deny the girl because of her age. Instead, he asked seriously, with a hint of extremely weak expectation in his tone.

After nearly a thousand years of operation, goblins have occupied a pivotal position in the magical world.

Although many wizards still believe that goblins succumb to wizards, the top leaders of the Ministry of Magic in most countries understand that Gringotts, which controls currency casting rights, currency issuance channels, and more than half of the wizarding world's wealth reserves, has long been separated from wizards. Under their control, it becomes a huge monster.

Take the British Ministry of Magic as an example. Before the handover, Millicent, the previous Minister of Magic, once said to Cornelius Fudge in private and privately, "The goblin in Gringotts Wizarding Bank is like a goblin attached to Giant leeches at the heart of the magical world. They determine the blood flow of the entire magical world, drawing nutrients from everyone to grow. However, whoever wants to destroy it will incur the hostility of the entire wizarding world."

"Frankly speaking, it's not very clear." Elena shook her head honestly.

"So, you know, even if this so-called opportunity you're talking about succeeds. What's the cost?"

"Actually, I haven't thought about it yet."

Elena shook her head again.

Before Dumbledore could speak, the girl continued.

"But, I only know one thing..."

Elena stood up, glanced at Dumbledore, then at Grindelwald beside her, and smiled confidently.

"I know that once we decide to take Gringotts Wizarding Bank off the chessboard and take the monetary rights and future lifeline into our own hands again. At that time, standing behind me will be the two people present - The entire human magical world.”
