Chapter 539: Concealing the Truth

Leos was not left with much time to react. Along with the appearance of two goblin executioners, there was also a magic mine cart coming along the track from the darkness. Leos got into the cart without changing his expression, and The first black Leopard was sitting in the front row, and the other was sitting next to him, tapping the carriage lightly with the scythe in his hand.

The nameless Black Leopard made a low sound, like the sound of coal rubbing against metal.

"Gringotts Vault 997 - Cleanup."

Immediately afterwards, the magic mine car started suddenly, and the speed became faster and faster, twisting and turning along the maze-like corridor. The clicking sound of the car was mixed with the sound of the wind whistling in the tunnel, as if it was walking through some giant beast. in the abdominal cavity.

Leos looked at the receding stalactites above his head in silence, and began to wonder whether after his death, he would be dubbed the "stupidest elder" in the history of Gringotts - perhaps there is no need to doubt that, regardless of success, Whether it is or not, this will be his end. This is the result that has been determined during the first discussion.

Soon, they descended deep into the underground of Gringotts, and the magic mine cart stopped at the door of the "Goblin Prison".

In the middle of the road leading to this special treasury, a curtain of water poured onto the ground.

These are some of Gringotts' most proud magical early warning mechanisms, the "anti-thief waterfall". It will wash away all spells and all magical disguises. Once the intruder is not authorized, the Gringotts wizard above The bank will directly activate the defense mechanism.

And behind the never-ending water curtain is the "goblin prison" where Douglas and others are imprisoned.

Leos stepped off the magic mine cart, took a deep breath and passed through the water curtain. Fortunately, the light pink lady's wallet was still lying quietly in his coat without any movement... As for The two black Leopards had already walked outside the door, touched the metal door, and began to communicate with the internal guards to open the door.

The old goblin breathed a sigh of relief - the last level was successfully passed.

As a secret prison at the core of Gringotts, the protective measures here are already quite tight. With the increase in "prisoners" in the past few months, the Goblin Council of Elders has deployed additional manpower to ensure nothing goes wrong.

Leos and the two Black Leopards walked through the gate and walked inside, secretly counting the number of guards wearing scarlet uniforms.

The surrounding magic torches have all been lit, and all the "prisoners" have been gathered in the center of the vault, including Douglas, the former director of the venture capital department, Bao Ge, the deputy director, and several other core managers of the venture capital department, most of whom are The die-hard elites belonging to the Douglas faction are responsible for all areas of Gringotts Venture Capital.

Of course, there are also the "interns" Gallywix and Serkis who were accidentally affected.

What floated in front of all the goblins was an execution decision signed directly by the Goblin Elders Council. It was filled with thirteen colorful signatures, each of which was filled with a faint magical brilliance.

Douglas just glanced at the execution note, then looked at the old goblin standing not far in front of him, and asked calmly.

"So, is this the end?"

Over the past few days, he had imagined countless times how to convince the Council of Elders, how to deal with the desperate situation that followed, how to expose the upcoming crisis that Gringotts was facing, how to use his last voice to sound the alarm...

However, Douglas only waited for the secret execution decision.

Obviously, the old guys from the Gringotts Goblin Council of Elders would not give him this chance.

In the past few months, the deputy director of the venture capital department, who had lost almost a lot of weight, glanced at the parchment in front of him again, frowned and closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and continued as he had rehearsed in his mind before. Said softly.

"Dear Elder Leos, I accept all punishments from the Council of Elders... However, I hope you can give me fifteen minutes to listen to me report some of the conclusions that the Venture Capital Department has summarized during this period. Even if - —”

"As your former student and deputy, one last request..."

"Unfortunately, time is limited."

Leos grinned and shook his head regretfully, "Besides, I don't think you can provide much useful information, so for the next time, why not listen to this old guy like me one last time?"

Having said this, Leos turned his head and glanced at the two goblin executioners standing beside him.

The two Black Leopards exchanged a look, then nodded and said in a low voice.

"Ten minutes at most, this is the Great Elder's request."

"Ten minutes? It doesn't take that long. In fact, it's just a few words."

Leos leaned on his cane, waved his hand, and walked to Douglas. He looked at the middle-aged goblin he had single-handedly promoted and trained, with a trace of reluctance and complexity in his eyes.

"What you want to say is nothing more than a run crisis and a wrong entry into the game at the wrong time. This is a financial war that is destined to fail and will drag Gringotts into a whirlpool of eternal destruction... Let me think about it, maybe there are some wizards conspiracy, the stupidity and corruption of non-magical governments... Oh, yes, and the greed and madness of the Presbyterian Church, huh..."

Leos chuckled lightly, and poked the roll of parchment floating beside Douglas with his skinny fingers.

"I already knew all of this, even earlier than you knew it... If I must say it, it was roughly four or five months ago. Yes, your judgment is right... …The goblins are heading for destruction…”

"Therefore, those guys in the Americas chose to betray, lick the boots of wizards, and voluntarily surrendered to the Magic Congress of the United States in the hope of having the opportunity to become the second house elf - after all, we are settling accounts and building magic weapons. There is still some merit, isn’t it…”

The old goblin elder twisted an ugly smile on his wrinkled face and continued.

"After all, fairies are no match for wizards. This era already belongs to humans. Whether it is the non-magical world or the magical world that ultimately controls this world, it may be difficult for us to have a foothold - in hundreds or thousands of years. After that, all magical creatures will become animals, just like Veela in captivity, or a fire dragon that has turned into a beast."

"Is this the idea of ​​the Council of Elders? The last desperate move..."

Douglas laughed loudly with sarcasm on his face, disappointment written in his eyes.

"Yes." Leos nodded calmly, looking across the goblins around him, "Only a traitor would betray the interests of Gringotts and the goblins, betray the Council of Elders, betray Gringotts, and defect to a certain hybrid. Little Veela, you have to continue the existence of goblins at a price that is unacceptable to all kinds of goblin traditions, and you...are the only few traitors I found in Gringotts."

The old goblin's voice was low. However, following Leos' words, the entire vault fell silent for an instant.

Perhaps the two Heliopas who were executioners couldn't understand what Leos meant for the time being, but these elite goblins who had been practicing in the venture capital department for decades could vaguely understand what Leos meant. of profound meaning.

In particular, there seems to be a silver-white shadow named Elena Kaslana, the one who started all events.

"Teacher, we are about to be executed..."

After a long silence, Douglas shook his head and said slowly.

As the entire vault suddenly fell into silence, the two executioners finally realized something was wrong. They clenched the scythes in their hands, looked cautiously at the goblins standing not far away, and walked over quickly.

"Elder Leos, the time is up, retreat..."

"There is no eternal existence in this world. Every living thing will pass away one day, and no one is an exception. But... for you, it is not today."

Leos shook his head, showed a painful smile, fumbled for a pink women's wallet from his arms, and a wave of magic rippled out.

"You know, this Muggle bag cost me thirty silver coins..."

"Damn it! Leos, what do you want to do?!"

The expressions of the two Black Leopard fairies changed, flames suddenly rose from their bodies, and they quickly flew forward.

However, before the executioners could get closer, Elder Leos turned around, opened the light pink lady's purse, and shook it to the side, as if two blazing flames were burning in his eyes.

"Fulfill your promise, devils from destiny! Help me take these children out!"

The next moment, there were several dazzling magic beams and a clear and loud sound of magic spells.

"Everything is forgotten!"

"There are many obstacles!"

"Collapse!"

Several wizards appeared in the vault deep in Gringotts. The leader was a young man with wavy blond hair, wearing a robe as blue as the forget-me-not flower, and a cheerful smile.

"Oh my god, I didn't expect that there is such a mutated goblin that can make fire. My next book will definitely be a hit..."

The wizard said with a half-joking smile, while he casually raised his wand and pointed flexibly at the Black Leopard who rushed towards him from the right.

"Everything is forgotten!"

The recent plot at the end of the second volume has been conceived for a long time. Apart from being a bit shorter, it should still be quite interesting... I'm so proud~
