Hogwarts on the tip of the tongue

Hogwarts, Headmaster's Office.

Ignoring the helpless and furious old goblin in front of her, Elena's eyes slowly slid around.

The portraits of past principals covered by curtains...the insignificant Grindelwald in the corner...Dumbledore who has not expressed any opinions so far...the meeting of goblins that appeared earlier than planned...

All the details combined together create an extremely incongruous feeling.

"This is unreasonable. Dumbledore is not an ordinary wizard who lacks opinions. What is he thinking?"

"Is it just because the Gringotts goblin just happened to come to the door? Or is it because Dumbledore wants to hide behind the scenes and observe?"

"Not to mention the interference of the magical world in the non-magical world, which is a particularly sensitive matter; after several previous derivation discussions, Dumbledore should be quite familiar with the hypothetical model she proposed. After hearing about the goblin You can completely reject their arguments directly, and there is no need to wait for her to come over to assist in judgment..."

"Indeed, according to her agreement with Dumbledore, once the disintegration of the Soviet Union enters an irreversible countdown, she will be fully involved in subsequent decision-making. However, judging from the current situation, this seems to be slightly away from that time point. It's a little early, and whether she appears at this time or not will not have any impact on the situation... Wait, that's the point!"

A series of thoughts flashed through Elena's mind instantly, and in the end they all pointed to one conclusion.

This is a test, the last test that Albus Dumbledore conducts before the final plan is implemented - and her performance will determine the degree of support and resource mobilization she will receive in the subsequent overall grand strategy. permissions.

There was no doubt that this fit well with what she knew about Dumbledore.

After all, once the Soviet Union enters the carnival stage of disintegration, the impact of every small decision cannot be reversed by Dumbledore alone. Any instruction from Elena may lead to disaster - even if Judging from the model, Elena gave the optimal solution, and Dumbledore still maintained the final caution.

Perhaps Dumbledore will not be able to fully understand the vast economic model in a short period of time, but he can understand human nature.

In this case, we cannot use willful and simple and crude solutions...

However, if I guess correctly, there are actually two examiners for this "test" - it's really troublesome.

Elena glanced at Leos who was standing in front of her, sighed softly, and said calmly.

"First of all, this is not a transaction. You cannot trade things from Hogwarts. Whether it is gold galleons or US dollars, they are obtained through mortgage deeds of equal value, and early termination of the debt is not what we need."

"The price is low? That's not a problem. What does Hogwarts want?"

Looking at Elena who stopped, the goblin elder breathed a sigh of relief, with wrinkles on his face like a blooming chrysanthemum.

As long as they can enter the negotiation stage, as an elf elder who has studied negotiation and finance for nearly a hundred years, Leos is confident that he can rely on his own experience to work hard to earn the maximum terms for Gringotts.

If the loss this time had not been too huge, Leos would not have negotiated directly with the wizard.

"It's very simple. I remember that Gringotts Wizarding Bank is joint-stock, right? There is no reason for Hogwarts to help Gringotts take risks unless the interests of the two are directly related, so we need to..."

As Elena spoke, she slowly raised an index finger.

"One percent share?! This is impossible!"

Leos' expression suddenly changed, his cane hit the ground heavily, and he refused without hesitation.

"There will never be human shareholders in Gringotts! This is a bank belonging to the goblins. Even if Gringotts goes bankrupt, all the goblins are homeless, and the gold Galleons become scrap metal, we will not agree to this matter!"

"Sorry, you may have misunderstood..."

Elena smiled slightly, shook her head politely and added, "What I'm talking about is that using half of Gringotts' equity, we can exchange for an opportunity for the magical world to actively interfere in the policy announcement of non-magical countries. And..."

After a short pause, the smile on the girl's face remained, but her eyes gradually became a bit cruel.

"This commitment is only valid before November 11."

"Gringotts still has a week to consider this issue. In addition, Hogwarts does not accept any form of payment - the gold Galleons you call, we will get it ourselves when the time is up."

"Shit! It's unreasonable! You are insulting an intelligent and noble race!"

Leos was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly, his face instantly darkened, his eyes filled with anger and viciousness, he raised his slender fingers to the tip of Elena's nose, and roared sharply .

"You ignorant cub! You despicable..."

"Um?!"

Before the old goblin could finish speaking, a faint hum suddenly came from its ears.

The next moment, the goblin elder's expression quickly became painful, and he subconsciously grabbed his neck with both hands. It seemed that an invisible rope was gradually tightening there, but the magic power in his body seemed to be suppressed, and there was no movement.

Just before Leos was about to lose consciousness, Dumbledore's voice sounded in the room.

"enough!"

Dumbledore frowned, waved his hand to remove the magic on Leos, and glanced reproachfully at Grindelwald, who was standing in the corner of the office. Unexpectedly, the little devil could hold back his temper, but it was himself. My old friend took action first.

"Albus Dumbledore! Hogwarts needs an explanation for Gringotts!"

Leos panted and stood up with his cane. He looked at the old wizard in the corner who had been ignored by him with lingering fear. He looked past Elena and shot straight at Dumbledore who had walked out from behind the desk. .

"Stop joking, let a little... little witch decide tens of billions of wealth, and even the fate of countless people? There is a limit to Gringotts' patience! We come here with sincerity, But you were humiliated and attacked like this, are you planning to start a war between wizards and goblins?!"

"Sorry. But, I think he was actually trying to save you."

Facing Leos' question, Dumbledore smiled gently, "But one thing, I remember saying it a long time ago. Elena Kaslana, in this incident, she represents For Hogwarts and myself."

"What about Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? Don't forget, your land deed certificate..."

"If you care about this thing so much, then staying in Gringotts actually doesn't matter."

Dumbledore walked forward unhurriedly and stood beside Elena without leaving any trace. The position slightly in front of her just separated a short straight path for the girl to rush forward.

"Mr. Dumbledore, what do you want to say? Does Hogwarts intend to break the contract?"

Feeling the pressure coming from Dumbledore, Leos' heart gradually became cold.

The direction of the entire incident seems to have completely deviated from the expectations of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, running in another direction that no one had ever predicted. Wizards are indeed the most cunning and unreliable existence in the world.

"Broken promise? Of course not, Hogwarts will always keep its promises."

"But to be honest, I have never been able to calculate the exchange values ​​between Copper Nat, Silver Siko, and Gold Galleons. Finance is too trivial and troublesome. Therefore, these are things that only Miss Kaslana can do with It’s an issue for you to discuss.”

Dumbledore shook his head and said with a troubled smile.

"To be honest, if I hadn't accidentally discovered it some time ago, I wouldn't even know that this document still exists... After all, according to the history of Hogwarts, many years ago, Salazar Slytherin The castle has been permanently leased to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the price of one copper knut."

"I don't know what you mean, Mr. Albus Dumbledore."

Leos felt his throat was a little dry and replied in a dry voice.

"You have been discussing business, but what I want to say is about rules, order and law."

Dumbledore spread his hands and whispered softly with a smile, without any smile in his blue eyes.

"There is a recognized law in the non-magical world, and as far as I know, it is also applicable in the magical world - it is called [sale without breaking lease]; in addition, in 1651, the Ministry of Magic also promulgated a law..."

The test about Elena is over, and the remaining villain role will be left to him.

From a long time ago, Gringotts was no longer the focus of Dumbledore's attention. The only thing he cared about was how risky it was to pin the fate of billions of people on a child's plan.
