Chapter 43 You Can Fight with Confidence Again!
After reluctantly leaving the pet shop, Anne followed her new friend Hermione, and the two of them walked straight along the street of Diagon Alley, and soon came to the middle of Diagon Alley, near the intersection with Knockturn Alley The location of the entrance, here is the Gringotts Wizarding Bank. It is the largest and most special white marble towering building in Diagon Alley.
Before the gate of Gringotts, Annie blinked, she frowned her lovely brow, and looked suspiciously at this weird building! Because there is an aura in it that she doesn't like very much! It seems to be very similar to some kind of creature that disgusts her! That smell is really disgusting!
Although I hate it in my heart, but thinking that I still need to go here to exchange money, Annie still has to go in! Because Hermione, who was walking in front, has turned her head to urge her several times! Then go in! Forget it!
Following behind Hermione, Annie and the two of them walked through the bronze door, and then through the second silver door before entering the spacious marble hall. There are about dozens of goblins sitting behind the tall and long counter, some of them are busy registering something in the ledger, some are weighing coins with a balance, some are examining gems with eyepieces, some adult wizards In front of the counter, there is a queue waiting to handle business.
It really is such a disgusting monster! When Annie saw the creatures on the counter, she knew for a while! When she was outside the building, Annie felt the disgusting smell on them! It was an insatiable breath! She knew it would be such a greedy ugly creature! This kind of little monster called goblin also exists in Valoran! It's just that the ones in front of me seem a little different from the ones Anne knew! But the smell is basically the same!
"Cut! Why can these short monsters sit on such high counters?" Walking to an empty counter, Annie muttered dissatisfiedly, these counters are too high! At least reaching a height of 1.6 meters, even an adult wizard can only look up to those despicable goblins, right? I really don't know how the mages here allow such greedy monsters to manage their money?
Annie hates this despicable creature! Especially when they sit on a high platform and look down at themselves! To her, they were nothing more than a vile, dirty monster! How dare they do this? If it was in Valoran, if you dared to look down on a mage with that kind of look, it would have been burned by the bad-tempered mages long ago, right? Looking at those wizards queuing up neatly, Annie couldn't understand why the wizards here could still tolerate them!
"Shh! Keep your voice down! Annie." Hermione quickly signaled Annie to keep her voice down, so that the goblins above must not hear her! She has been to Gringotts many times, but she knows that these goblins are not so friendly to wizards. Now Hermione feels that it is more important to exchange for Galleons as soon as possible, and there is no need to provoke them.
"I want to exchange one hundred and fifty pounds for Galleons! Thank you!" After reminding Anne, Hermione turned around and stood on tiptoe and handed over a few pound notes with difficulty.
But the goblin on the counter didn't take the coin immediately, but looked down with vicious eyes, staring at Annie for several seconds! It just heard what Annie said! Seeing this, Annie fought back and stared at it mercilessly! How tall is it? Shorty monster! If you dare to jump down, I will be taller than you!
After a while, seeing that he couldn't help Little Annie, the goblin reluctantly gave up! But it turned its head to look at Hermione just when Hermione handed over the coins to the point of getting sore. In the end, it still deliberately delayed for a while before taking the banknotes slowly. After a while, it indifferently took out a small bag of Galleons from under its counter, and threw it to Hermione casually. Its face is so arrogant and dismissive,
Almost blown Annie up!
Catching the Galleon dropped by the goblin in a panic, Hermione stuffed it into her satchel and put it away carefully, before motioning for Annie to take out the gold coins she wanted to exchange, but these gold coins were too many and too heavy, Hermione's strength But I can't pass it on!
Fortunately, the smart Miss Granger knows advanced spells like the Levitation Curse! She took out a short wooden wand like Anne had seen from her pocket, and said to the big bag of gold coins: Wingardim Leviosa! The bag containing the gold coins floated up slowly, and floated all the way to the counter in front of the elf just now.
Huh? Seeing this young lady named Hermione cast spells like this, Anne felt a very novel feeling! If she read it correctly, it seems that the casting of the spell just now was done with the three elements of movement, gestures, spells and the help of the wand, and finally the spell was cast? But..., is it really necessary to be so troublesome?
"Excuse me, please trouble me again, and then help us exchange all these gold coins into Galleons! Thank you!" Hermione put away her wand and was very proud. She was very satisfied with the spell she had just cast! She's only getting ready for second grade this year! But ordinary senior students may not know the spell she cast!
Hearing that it was going to be exchanged for a large bag of gold coins, this time the elf was not too negligent. She quickly got up, stretched out her short hands comically, and grabbed the big bag that floated up that was comparable to her height, and waited until the bag was opened Looking inside, its ridiculously big eyes were instantly wider and rounder with a flash of golden light! Then it didn't know what it thought of, its eyes rolled for a while, and then it quickly tied the bag again.
After tying the mouth of the bag, it leaned out again, carefully sized up the two little girls under the counter, what was it thinking about in those big, rogue, deformed eyes! At the same time, it turned its head to look at the crowd around it, and found that not many people noticed the situation here, so it thought for a while.
As if it had made a certain decision, it began to squint its eyes, and quickly cast a spell on the bag of gold coins, making the bag disappear completely, and it didn't know where it was hidden! After putting away the bag, it slowly sat back on its original seat at the counter, and continued to write something, as if nothing had happened just now.
…
"Excuse me! Have you exchanged our Galleons?" Hermione, who was a little impatient after waiting for a long time, couldn't help asking when she saw that the goblins ignored them.
It stands to reason that it has been so long, and its gold coins have also been taken away. Seeing that it has written a lot of things, it should be considered a deal, right? What about the redeemed Galleons? What about certificates of deposit? Or a check will do! If only the Wizarding Bank had a check business!
Hearing Hermione's question, the goblin just tilted its head and looked mockingly at the two little girls, then continued to look away, picked up its quill and continued to write in its large ledger pretendingly.
If Annie uses mind reading skills on it now, she will definitely find that this goblin is thinking disdainfully in her heart: gold coins? hum! Still want coins? I have never seen anything! I have never seen that big bag of gold coins of unknown origin! These are really two innocent little girls! Humans are so stupid! Hehehe! I just like such idiots! They sent me so many golden and good things! Let's make more of these stupid wizards!
"Hello! Dear Mr. Fairy! Excuse me! Where are our gold coins? Where are they now? I think, it's been so long, you should exchange them for us!" After waiting for a long time, I saw this The goblin still didn't respond much, and Hermione couldn't help thinking of some bad rumors. So, she hurriedly increased her tone and began to question.
"Gold coins? What other gold coins? Little human girl, haven't those dozen or so Galleons been exchanged for you long ago? I saw you put them in!" The goblin pretended to be impatient and looked at Hermione. , and then stretched out his thin fingers and pointed, motioning her to check her satchel.
"Ten, more than a dozen Galleons?" Hermione subconsciously touched her satchel following the goblin's prompt. Inside was the hard one hundred and fifty pounds of Galleons she had just exchanged for!
Hermione was inexplicably stunned for a while, and she didn't react immediately until she realized the true intention of the goblin! Then Hermione looked up at the goblin above with incredible eyes!
Oh, God! Oh! It's Meilin! it! The goblin! It turned out! How dare you do it in broad daylight! Just cheating their gold coins like this? No wonder it took so long! It never thought of honestly exchanging those gold coins for them! Those thousands of gold coins have been hidden and embezzled by it! The shameless thief! Despicable thief!
"You! How dare you do this! You actually robbed our gold coins! You robber! Despicable goblin! Thief! Thief!" Hermione felt that her whole body was not well! In the wizard's bank, she was confiscated by a goblin with such a big bag of gold coins! That is a gold coin worth at least several thousand Galleons! It can't be gone like this! So she started screaming!
Her voice immediately attracted the surrounding wizards and other goblins on the counter! Although they didn't know what happened, they still looked sideways at the two little girls standing under the counter, and the goblin employee with a cloudy expression on the counter.
Anne, who was looking at Gringotts curiously and looking around at the layout of the hall, turned her head in doubt after hearing Hermione's scream. Annie didn't know what happened just now! She didn't pay attention to things here at all!
In the end, Tibbers gloated and reminded her in private: that stupid, lifeless goblin just now! Already embezzled those belongings of hers! Um! This is probably the case!
Anne finally knew what happened, but she was not too angry. She was confident and did not rush to act immediately! She doesn't really care too much about property and gold coins! She was just a little puzzled: Do they think they are so easy to bully? Or is it that he was born with a cowardly face that loves to be bullied? what! This is really interesting! So much fun!
Then, looking at the short, ugly goblin standing on the counter, Annie was even more upset! When did this kind of vile cat and dog dare to bully him? really! It's not for nothing that she hated this creature from before!
"Please pay attention to the wording! Little girl! There are some words, but you can't talk nonsense! Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious!" The goblin stood up pretending to be displeased, walked to the edge of the counter, lowered her head, and said maliciously. Whispered warning to Hermione! I hope she'll be obedient and sensible, otherwise! hum!
"You are! You took our gold coins! You didn't exchange them for Galleons! You are a thief! A thief! A robber!!" Hermione was so angry that she saw that this goblin was still cheating. Shout!
She just came to Gringotts Goblin Bank to do business, but what she never expected was that she was robbed by the bank instead! If you say this, no one will believe it, right? However, this incident did indeed happen right under Hermione Granger's nose!
"Guards! Guards! Come here! Arrest them! Turn them over to the Ministry of Magic! Charge: causing trouble at Gringotts Bank! Let them deal with it seriously!" So when it saw that the warning was useless, it immediately snapped its fingers and greeted the bank guards.
The two guards in scarlet and gold uniforms who had been standing guard at the side of the hall heard the sound, and they walked over immediately. One of the tall human wizard guards stood in front of Anne and Hermione, blocking all their sight, causing a sense of visual oppression! Another goblin guard stood behind Annie and Hermione, forming the most favorable outflanking situation.
Human guards like this are mostly adult wizards hired by goblins, and they all have powerful strengths that are not inferior to ordinary Aurors! They have powerful magic power and flexible response. They can not only complete basic defense work, but also assist goblins in dealing with many disputes between wizards and banks! There are many guards like this in Gringotts Goblin Bank!
"Both of you! Please cooperate with us!" The human guard standing in front just stared at Hermione expressionlessly. As for the younger Annie, he ignored her directly! He didn't think that this little girl could make big waves, but this little girl in her teens who looked like a student needed to pay more attention, maybe she could use a lot of spells!
"You guys! How dare you do this!" Hermione was so angry that she could hardly speak! She was not deeply involved in the world, she was just twelve years old, and now she was being taught a lesson by the cruelty of reality! Dazed by her anger, she was about to take out her wand in her pocket and teach that nasty goblin a lesson!
Seeing Hermione taking out something, the two guards looked at each other. The human guard in front quickly took a step forward and firmly grabbed Hermione's hand. The shoulders of the shorter Annie, they are now going to forcibly send the two little girls out! It was just two little girls, and they weren't going to use their wands directly yet.
"Little girl! Let me warn you one last time! Come with us to the Ministry of Magic! Otherwise, don't blame us for using the spell!" After the human guard grabbed Hermione's hand, he stared coldly at the little girl's frightened eyes , the other hand quickly took out a wand from her pocket, it was the wand that Hermione was going to take out just now!
And the other goblin guards don't care so much, they goblins are very unfriendly to humans! So it tried its best to push Annie to the floor and tie her up and take her away. Maybe now it can add another crime to these two little human girls! That is: trying to use a wand at Gringotts Goblin Bank! Sinister motives!
"Wow!!" The goblin guard who stretched out his hand to press Annie's shoulder was about to push hard, but suddenly the whole palm of his hand was ignited by the fire rising from Annie's body. It spreads over the shoulders! Immediately it screamed and took a few steps back, then fell to the ground and rolled over! It seems that it is trying to suppress that terrible flame in itself by this method!
"You! These! Dirty monsters! How dare you! Blackmailed! My money?!" Annie raised her head, with a sullen face, and said every word! More importantly: How dare the goblin in the back put its dirty hand on his shoulder?
As soon as she finished speaking, flaming red flames began to burst out from Annie's body, and her two pairs became hot and shiny, and her eyes as red as lava swept towards the fairies standing on the counter! In fact, Annie has long been displeased with those nasty goblins! This is great! She took the opportunity to go crazy again, right? Ha ha! Come come come! Let you stand tall! Let you steal my money!
"You are looking for your own death!!!"
