Chapter 2442 the Ancient Cave in the Tunnel

Tia did live in the subway station for a while, but John, who followed the Aurors to investigate there, did not get much clues about her.

Fortunately, in the process of looking for witnesses from among the homeless people, they got some unexpected gains in hindsight.

"...yes, I'm pretty sure the boy was a baby wizard, because I did see his wand in his pocket - his wand was longer than normal, and the pocket was too shallow to hide it completely When I think about it, that kid seemed a little sneaky at the time... Hey! Auror, don't touch me, I've said what I need to say, and I haven't done anything illegal... At least not recently!"

A goblin disguised as a human dwarf spoke in a high-pitched voice, and perhaps because the vice-captain Kroger's actions were somewhat rough and unkind, it also aroused the other party's annoyance.

Just judging from the guy's last grunt, Croger's actions probably had a reason.

"What happened later?" John didn't care about Kroger's protest and persecution, and then asked, "Where did that boy go after that?"

"How do I know?" The goblin spread his hands, "I still have things to do! It's not that group of lazy werewolves who have nothing to do every day and waste their precious time on a brat running around without thinking ? Where did he go later? It's none of my business!"

Speaking of this, the goblin snorted angrily, as if thinking that being entangled by Aurors was a waste of time.

But for a goblin who takes "time is galleons" as his belief, he might really be thinking that way!

Of course, what the other party was thinking, Auror vice-captain Kroger was not interested in knowing.

"None of your business?" Kroger narrowed his eyes, looked down at the little elf in front of him, and said with some malicious intentions, "Recently, there have been several more documents involving fake Gallon's private circulation on the captain's desk. The case used the improved Leprechaun gold coins. I heard that those fake Galleons came out of the hands of the goblins in New York... Now I feel that those cases are related to you?"

"What fake Garen... what do you mean! I didn't do it! I'm a serious goblin!" Hearing what Croger said, the goblin's eyes widened and he couldn't help but argue loudly, " And... I only met the boy you're asking about once, I... really don't know where he went! Rather than staring at me here and asking, you might as well go find those vampires And werewolves, they are the local snakes here, aren't they!"

"yes?"

Croger's eyes wandered back and forth on the other party for a long time, until he saw the other party's hairy body trying to defend again, then he shook his head and said:

"You should be glad that I'm investigating another case now, but I've already remembered you, so be careful next time."

After finishing speaking, he pulled John and another Auror team member towards the other side of the platform aisle, leaving only the goblin standing in the corner gritting his teeth all over his face, but he still couldn't attack. He put on his hat and left alone.

Here, John looked back at the little figure a few more times, and couldn't help whispering:

"Is that goblin really that... a participant in the case of falsifying Gold Galleon?"

"Probably yes,

Croger shrugged and said as he walked, "The only ones who can improve the leprechaun gold coins that will disappear in a short time into fake Galleons that can be effectively circulated are those goblins." And you should know that those goblins have always been very united and they do everything together. Since that guy was hanging out in New York just now, even if he didn't directly participate in the production of fake Galleons, he was at least one of the spreaders...Of course , it certainly has nothing to do with what we are going to do right now, so let him go for the time being. "

At this point, he raised his hand and patted John on the shoulder, before turning around and saying:

"But speaking of it, his last sentence reminded me just now."

"What?" John asked quickly.

Croger turned to him and smiled.

"'Local Snake'."

...

When it comes to the so-called "head snake" in New York's wizarding world, like that goblin, many wizards will immediately think of the vampires and werewolves that have come with the wind since the beginning of the American colonial wave. Even during that period, there were more vampires and werewolves seeking to take root in America than there were wizards coming here, including the establishment of the initial order in the American magic world, which is said to be related to them.

However, just like the American Muggle world on the surface, as more and more humans came to America, the territories of humanoid magical creatures headed by vampires and werewolves were repeatedly squeezed, occupied, and covered up. , after all, here, like Europe, has become a human world.

Up to now, the descendants of those vampires and werewolves are still the so-called "ground snakes", but they have already changed from the surface to the "underground".

"Even the situation of those guys has become like this, John, tell me, how many people will remember the former 'residents' of this continent?"

In the increasingly deep subway tunnel, Croger casually said as he walked.

Beside him, John frowned as he listened.

"You mean—"

"Yes, those 'natives'!" Croger smiled. "In fact, no one who really knows their existence dares to ignore them easily, right?"

The voice fell slightly, and John, who seemed to have recalled something, couldn't help but nodded.

Yes, it's not the same as some things on the Muggle side. In the magical world of America, the "natives" who used to live on this continent really fought a fierce battle with the "invaders" from Europe. It's just that compared to the Muggles, the specific time when the wizards and intelligent magical creatures of the two places had already communicated with each other came earlier than the time when the Muggles colonized...much earlier!

"Oh, here it is, here it is!"

John was recalling what he had learned in the history of magic class at school, when he heard Croger say something, he stopped in his tracks. Afterwards, he saw that the other party had already raised his magic wand, reciting a mantra and waved it silently in front of a wide open air defense door.

The next moment, as a wave disappeared in an instant, the door closed silently, and then opened automatically. It's just that what was displayed in front of John again was no longer the dark and deep tunnel before, but an ancient underground cave that sloped down and bottomless.

"Hey," Croger said with a dry laugh, "hope they're friendly tonight."
