Chapter 1139 ? Alive
"The history of magic often brushes aside what wizards did to other magical races." Hermione helplessly responded to Fleger, who seemed extra indignant compared to the past, and then she said loudly to the goblins with a serious expression, "But as far as I know , and there is no record of wizards mentioning that Gryffindor stole the sword... and according to modern law..."
"Aha! Sure enough, it's another goblin story! Goblins always think we're persecuting them!" Ron yelled, interrupting Hermione, who was annoyed by the camera's focus on him today, " Goblins say wizards are always trying to outrun them, and I guess we should consider ourselves lucky we keep them from using our wands."
"Of course Gryffindor is not a thief! My mother told me that story! That Raignac I was reluctant to part with the sword he made for Gryffindor, so he lied that Gryffindor stole the sword from himself, And sent a group of subjects to ask for it, but they were all repelled by Gryffindor. Therefore, there are rumors among the goblins that Gryffindor stole the sword." Seamus Finnigan spoke with a strong accent Originally, as a Quidditch fan, he was still happy about the news that Allen planned to form a new club, but at this time he had already pointed at the goblins with his thick fingers and glared.
"It's the wizard's arrogance again!" Griphook also glared at the wizards when he saw so many opposing voices, and he, who was short in stature, clenched his over-proportioned fingers into a fist and waved, "You prevent us from using The magic wand is not enough, it has usurped our treasures, and now it wants to run on our bank!"
"But you goblins are not fluffy bunnies, are you?" Ron responded, "You've killed a lot of us too, and you've done it in a despicable way!"
"Gentlemen! Please calm down! I understand your defense of the founder, but let alone whether the sword was stolen by Godric Gryffindor. After his death, the sword should be returned to us goblins." Nagnak stepped forward, and his tone became more and more forceful, "We goblins never steal! The legal owner of an item is always its maker and not the later buyer. The buyer should return the original item after death. To the maker, but you are now passing a goblin-made thing from wizard to wizard without paying follow-on payments, which is no better than stealing!"
"That's your goblin's own custom! It's not our wizard's. According to the wizard's law, no matter it's ancient or the latest revised law, wizards have never recognized this custom of goblins. Your code of conduct cannot be used to restrain wizards behavior." Hermione finished speaking in one breath, and then said in a very rude voice, "I understand that you goblins think that you have been treated unfairly and cruelly, but this has nothing to do with Gryffindor's The sword doesn't matter, the owner of Hogwarts after Gryffindor is the owner of the sword, even if he dies, he doesn't need to return it."
"This is just the rules of your wizards. You are always putting your greed on us step by step!" Of course Griphook knew the rules of wizards, but he couldn't find a better reason but still shouted stubbornly, "That Cornell Leigh Fudge plotted control of goblin gold reserves during his tenure as Minister and would 'not hesitate to use force' if necessary! This is something your wizards' Quibbler admits to themselves, it's your magazine Said! I remember it also said that the ex-Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, had the nickname "The Goblin Slayer". According to the article, Fudge was "always talking about the goblins he killed", using methods including Tossed in water and drowned, thrown from upstairs, poisoned and baked in pies!"
The overly exaggerated conspiracy theory of "The Quibbler" that Griphook said a few years ago, when it was brought up again, made many angry wizards laugh.
It also made people realize that it didn't take much time for this small magazine that few people read to become the current paper media second only to the "Daily Prophet".
"Griphook! Calm down!" Nagnak noticed the change in the atmosphere, and he was a little annoyed to stop his companion from talking about an article that even goblins knew was not very reliable. He said slyly, "Magic The Ministry of Magical Creature Management and Control Department happened to be there too, and their goblin liaison office is the department that deals with property disputes between wizards and goblins... Although things are a bit troublesome, there are not no guidelines in history, We goblins will give everything to protect our own wealth... So I request that our appeal be arbitrated according to the law in accordance with the past practice, and I believe that the Ministry of Magic will not be biased because of Harris' identity..."
The goblins around nodded and raised their fists, and they looked at Ellen and Hermione with angry and challenging eyes-the goblins were extremely smart, and over the years of several unsuccessful rebellions, they have been able to use various Ways to effectively deal with wizards, although many wizards still think they are subservient to themselves, but goblins have managed to make themselves a place in the wizarding world...now the goblins of course know that this will not stop the opening of the Harris Wizarding Bank, but Now that they have been slapped on the door, and the other party wants to regain the economic control of the magic world, now when faced with the powerful gaze of Allen and those armed Aurors, the goblins naturally understand that they can no longer directly rebel by force like before. Fighting against the wizarding government, but they are vengeful and will naturally do everything possible to make trouble for the other party in these aspects and fight back.
"Everyone, please stop arguing...I have a question..." Allen habitually put his hands on his back and let the staff stand on the ground by itself. The rod was shaken, "Mr. Nagnack, if I understand correctly, according to the rules and customs of goblins, people who buy items from goblins should return the original items to the goblins who made them after death, right?"
"That's right, that's it. You have to return things to us elves after you die." Nagnak looked at Alan in a daze, but when he realized that the words seemed to be beneficial to him, he affirmed Alan without hesitation. Len's statement.
"Then, Mr. Godric Gryffindor is not dead again..." Allen's playful eyes swept over the group of goblins, "So what is the topic of our debate here... That's why I was wondering just now The reason why I didn’t make a sound below... is because the current situation should not have any disputes no matter according to the customs of our two sides..."
The wizards who were on the scene or watching the live broadcast lost their voices in an instant. They had seen the news of Ravenclaw's appearance, and now Gryffindor was still alive. They could hardly believe their ears. This is so shocking.
The goblins stared at Alan in disbelief, their round heads, which were much larger than normal humans, shook again and again. They couldn't believe Alan's words.
"Lie!" Griphook was a little annoyed, "Who can live like this..." He seemed to think of Ravenclaw and shook his head for another reason, "I clearly remember that you wizards yourself According to the report, you admit that Gryffindor transferred all the power of the founder to you, how could he still be alive?!"
"Mr. Gryffindor did transfer the ownership to me, but it has nothing to do with whether he is alive or not? Of course, it is not convenient for me to disclose the whereabouts and status of Mr. Gryffindor without his permission..." Allen said indifferently His eyes swept over these suspicious goblins, and he said indifferently: "Since you don't believe me, then use your own methods to divination... If you are not good at this, I believe you have enough funds to invite them Gifted fortune teller...Confidently judge whether what I describe is true...You goblins have your own magic system, and you can use some magic without a wand...I think you can easily test this kind of wealth-related things Check this out."
The goblins seemed to be strangled by invisible hands, and their faces were flushed. Griphook, who was originally full of anger, looked at their president, Nagnak, at a loss in astonishment. But he saw that the president's two long hands were tightly clenched together, his mouth was closed, and he said nothing. Obviously, there was no way to refute Alan.
"So, judging from the current situation, the maker of the Gryffindor sword has passed away, but the user is still alive in the world. How should such a situation be calculated according to the customs you require?" Allen sneered, "In addition, I have to remind you that I have no intention of relying on the fact that Mr. Gryffindor is still alive. My own attitude will only be based on the laws of wizards."
