Chapter 1139 ?Alive
"The history of magic often brushes aside what wizards did to other magical races." Hermione reluctantly responded to Flegg, who looked extra indignant compared to the past, and then she said loudly to the goblins with a serious expression, "But as far as I know , there is no record from the wizard, mentioning that Gryffindor stole the sword... and according to modern law..."
"Aha! Sure enough, this is another story made up by goblins! Goblins always think that we are persecuting them!" Ron's shout interrupted Hermione, who was very annoyed by the camera focusing on him today, " The goblins say wizards are always trying to outdo them, and I guess we should consider ourselves lucky that we kept them from using our wands."
"Of course Gryffindor is not a thief! My mother told me that story! That Ragnarok I couldn't bear to part with the sword he made for Gryffindor, so he lied that Gryffindor had stolen the sword from him. And sent a group of subjects to ask for it, but they were all repelled by Gryffindor. Therefore, there were rumors among the goblins that Gryffindor had stolen the sword." Seamus Finnigan said with a thick accent , as a Quidditch fan, he was still happy about the news that Allen planned to form a new club, but at this time, he pointed his thick fingers at the goblins and glared at them.
"It's the arrogance of wizards again!" Griphook glared at the wizards when he saw so many voices of opposition. The short stature clenched his fingers into fists and waved, "You are preventing us from using them. As if the wand wasn’t enough, they also took over our treasures, and now they want to run on our bank!”
"But you goblins are not fluffy little rabbits, are you?" Ron responded, "You also killed many of us, and your methods were very despicable!"
"Gentlemen! Please calm down! I understand your defense of the founder, but regardless of whether the sword was stolen by Godric Gryffindor, after his death, the sword should be returned to us goblins." Nagnok took a step forward and his tone became stronger, "We goblins never steal! The legal owner of an item is always its maker, not the subsequent purchaser. The purchaser should return the original item after his death. To the maker, but now you are passing something made by a goblin from wizard to wizard without paying any subsequent reward, which is no better than stealing!”
"That's your goblin custom! It's not our wizard's. According to wizards' laws, whether it's ancient or newly revised laws, wizards have never recognized this custom of goblins. Your behavioral standards cannot be used to restrain wizards. Behavior." Hermione finished her words in rapid succession, and then said loudly and rudely, "I understand that you goblins think that you have been treated unfairly and cruelly, but this is not the same as Gryffindor's. The sword doesn't matter, the owner of Hogwarts after Gryffindor is the owner of the sword, and there is no need to return it even after his death."
"This is just the rule of your wizards. You are always putting your greed on us step by step!" Of course Griphook knew the rules of the wizards, but he couldn't find a better reason but still yelled stubbornly, "That Kangnai Leigh Fudge plotted to control the goblin gold reserves while he was minister, and would 'not hesitate to use force' if necessary! This is something you wizards admit to themselves in the Quibbler, your magazine. Yes! I remember it said that the former Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, had the nickname "The Goblin Killer". According to the article, Fudge "always talks about the goblins he killed", using methods including Throw them into the water and drown them, push them down the stairs to death, poison them with poison, and bake them into pies!”
The exaggerated conspiracy theory of "The Quibbler" mentioned by Griphook a few years ago was brought up again, but it made many angry wizards laugh, and it also made people realize that this book was nothing. It didn’t take much time for a niche magazine that people read to become the current paper media second only to the Daily Prophet.
"Griphook! Calm down!" Nagnok noticed the change in the atmosphere. He was a little annoyed and stopped his companion from talking about an article that even the goblins knew was unreliable. He said slyly, "Magic The Ministry's Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures happened to be there, and their Goblin Liaison Office is the department that handles property disputes between wizards and goblins... Although things are a bit troublesome, history is not without guidance. We goblins will do whatever it takes to protect our own wealth...so I request that our claims be arbitrated in accordance with past practices and in accordance with the law. I believe that the Ministry of Magic will not be biased because of the identity of Principal Harris..."
The goblins around them nodded and raised their fists. They looked at Alan and Hermione with angry and challenging eyes. The goblins were extremely smart. Over the years, they had been able to take advantage of various attacks during several unsuccessful rebellions. The method effectively handles the relationship with wizards. Although many wizards still think that they are succumbing to themselves, the goblins have successfully made themselves a place in the magical world... Now of course the goblins know that this does not prevent the opening of the Harris Wizard Bank, but Now that they have been knocked on the door and the other party wants to regain economic control of the magical world, now facing the powerful gaze of Allen and those armed Aurors, the goblins naturally understand that they can no longer directly rebel with force as before. Fighting against the wizard government, but being vindictive, they will naturally do everything possible to cause trouble for the other side in these aspects and fight back.
"Everyone, please stop arguing...I have a question..." Allen habitually put his hands behind his back and let the staff stand on the ground. The vegetable bag hanging on the head of the staff-sword devil swayed with its movements but failed to let the staff stand on the ground. The staff wavered, "Mr. Nagnok, 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 goblin who made them after death, right?"
"Yes, that's it. We have to return things to us goblins after death." Nagnok looked at Allen confused, but realized that the tone of the conversation seemed to be beneficial to him, so he did not hesitate and affirmed Allen. Lun's statement.
"So, Mr. Godric Gryffindor is not dead..." Alan's joking eyes swept over the group of goblins, "So what is the topic we are arguing about here... This is what I was wondering just now. The reason why I didn’t say anything... is because the current situation should not be controversial according to the customs of both of us..."
Both the wizards present and watching the live broadcast lost their voices in an instant. They had seen the news of Ravenclaw's apparition, and now Gryffindor was still alive. They could hardly believe their ears. This is so shocking.
The goblins stared at Allen in disbelief. Their round heads, which were much larger than normal humans, shook repeatedly. They couldn't believe what Allen said.
"Lie!" Griphook said angrily, "Who can live like this..." He seemed to think of Ravenclaw and shook his head for a different reason, "I clearly remember you wizards themselves during the finals of Hogwarts in the first half of the year. According to the report, if you admit that Gryffindor transferred all the power of the founder to you, how can UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net still be alive?!"
"Mr. Gryffindor did transfer the ownership to me, but does it have anything to do with whether he is alive or not? Of course, it is not convenient for me to reveal Mr. Gryffindor's whereabouts and status without his permission..." Alan was indifferent. His eyes swept over these suspicious goblins, and he said nonchalantly: "Since you don't believe me, then use your own method to divination... If you are not good at this, I believe you have enough funds to invite them. A gifted fortune teller... I am confident to judge whether what I describe is true... You goblins have your own magic system, and you can also use some magic without a wand... I think you can easily detect things related to wealth. Check this out.”
The goblins seemed to be choked by invisible hands, and their faces were all red from holding back. Griphook, who was originally angry, looked at their leader Nagnok in shock and bewildered. But he saw that the president's two long hands were tightly clasped together, and he closed his mouth tightly and remained silent. Obviously, there was no way to refute Allen.
"So, judging from the current situation, the maker of Gryffindor's sword has passed away, but the user is still alive in the world. How should this situation be calculated according to the customs you require?" Allen sneered, "Also, 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."
