Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 126 The Goblin Hero
Facing Fred’s questioning, Gretel just gave him an inscrutable smile.
Of course, secrets can only be revealed when needed.
Besides, the old guy in front of me is still a goblin after all.
Regardless of his attitude, before gaining trust, Gretel could reveal a little information to him, which already showed his sincerity in cooperation.
After all, goblins are a foreign race, not to mention a foreign race that has experienced countless rebellions from ancient times to the present.
It was impossible for Gretel to have 100% trust in them.
Besides, even within Dawn, the only ones who can gain his 100% trust now are the group of people he brought out from Hogwarts.
That was the core that he had trained with his own hands. As long as they accepted his orders, they would not be afraid of death even if they were in front of them.
In fact, confidentiality is only one aspect, and the other aspect is because the things he is going to bring out have not yet been researched.
Although he had explored a lot of clues these days, he still couldn’t make a breakthrough.
Conquering the portal was much harder than he thought.
It would be better if he controlled it himself. All people or things sent out from the portal would at least be intact.
But if he is slightly distracted while maintaining the portal, the things transmitted will inevitably experience some damage.
People are even more troublesome. Only wizards can pass now, and no other living creature without magic can survive.
Squibs, Muggles, and Gretel didn’t dare to experiment.
After all, Azkaban is only for wizards, not squibs. In other words, squibs or Muggles are not qualified to be imprisoned at all.
Even if they were imprisoned, they would probably not see the sun the next day.
This is still controlled by Gretel.
The situation without his control is even more complicated. Ordinary materials cannot withstand the pressure of the portal.
Often after the portal is opened, within a few breaths, they will inexplicably turn into powder.
Things transmitted through this kind of portal will be completely erased from this world.
For such a long time, he has tried countless methods, and he has tried almost every material in the magical world.
But so far, progress can only be described as slow.
But Gretel is definitely not fooling Fred. After all, if the portal is really stabilized, the benefits created will definitely not be less than those created by the communications company.
Apparently, goblins have their own lie-detection spells.
After all, after Gretel finished speaking, Fred had only doubts on his face, and no look of doubt at all.
“It seems that Mr. Fred already knows that I am not lying to you, so can we have a good discussion about our cooperation next?”
Grete’s words awakened the old goblin from deep thought.
“Of course, it’s just that the matter is so important that I hope Mr. Gretel can wait a little.
We may need to make some preparations first.
Of course, don’t worry, we won’t delay you for too long. “
Gretel took a deep look at Fred and nodded silently after a long time.
Here, Fred forced himself to cheer up, covered up some of his fatigue with his uplifting mood, and hurriedly left the conference room.
For a moment, Gretel was the only one left in the entire conference room.
Leaning back in his chair, Gretel glanced at the corner of the conference room amusedly.
Of course he knew that the preparations Fred said were completely false. If the entire Goblin International Bank was fully controlled by Fred, what would he be prepared for?
The heads of both organizations are sitting here, and everything can be decided.
It can be inferred from this that it is true that he needs to prepare some backup plans.
If what Fred just said is true, then it means that they were dissatisfied with Gringotts headquarters hundreds of years ago.
He had seen quite a few of the old goblins in Gringotts.
He may not be aware of the power within the goblin, but he knows one thing.
There are traces of everything, if they have really made preparations for independence.
The old guys in the goblin clan will never fail to notice it.
Under such circumstances, they could not safely allow Gringotts America to develop freely. At least, they would also have some spies among the American goblins.
If what he said is false, then he is definitely communicating with the British side now.
Gretel was not worried at all. Anyway, Dawn and Gringotts had known each other secretly for a long time.
Everyone knows that the other person has bad intentions towards them.
It’s just because of some realistic factors, they can’t bring the contradiction to the surface.
Wizards cannot afford the consequences of war, and neither can goblins.
Besides, since Gretel dared to reveal these things to him, she was naturally not afraid of him betraying her behind his back.
After all, from beginning to end, he never said anything he shouldn’t have said.
He only said that all the communications company’s business would be settled through Goblin International Bank, but he didn’t say that he would take action against the goblins.
On the contrary, it was Fred across from him who shook his own thoughts away.
Gretel didn’t do anything else. He just ‘accidentally’ recorded these words during the conversation.
Ignoring the quietly observing eyes in the corner, Gretel played the video he had just recorded.
If we can cooperate well, even if Fred, the old goblin, doesn’t really cooperate.
Dawn doesn’t mind using this video to start another public opinion war in the entire magical world.
After all, what he said was so precise, and this glorious image is worth recording.
At that time, even if Fred is doing things according to the arrangements within the goblin clan.
Under the overwhelming publicity, he had to become a real pioneer in the struggle.
Work hard for the freedom of all civilian fairies, tsk, what a great slogan.
A race must need heroes.
If the goblins didn’t have one, Gretel wouldn’t mind creating one for them.
The inferior overcomes the superior, the common people versus the nobles, this kind of excellent character should never disappear at any time.
Unless there is no more oppression.
But is that possible?
As long as there are classes, oppression will never go away.
In other words, if goblins can create a world without oppression at all, he would not mind letting goblins manage the world.
It was like a joke he had seen in his previous life.
Aliens invaded the earth, and they stipulated that all earthlings could only work four hours a day.
All remaining time must be used for rest or self-improvement and for the welfare of everyone.
If this is true, will anyone still hold high the banner of resistance to alien tyranny at that time?
…
Fred did not keep Grete waiting too long. Shortly after Grete finished playing the video, Fred hurriedly appeared in the conference room.
There was a helpless smile on his face. It was obvious that he already knew about Grete’s video recording.
“Mr. Gretel, you really don’t need to be so vigilant.
All American fairies have no intention of harming you.
As for surveillance, that’s standard in every conference room, and as you know, the Americas are not safe and we must protect the security of all client property.
Also, I just went to control the spies planted here by my clan…”
Seeing that he was still going on about explaining something, Gretel had no choice but to stop him.
“I need to see the sincerity of your Goblin International Bank.
At least, I have put away 5% of the shares of the communication company, right?
Even if you can’t achieve your goals through the communications company, I still have other ways to help you bring everyone’s strength together.
Mr. Fred can be sure of this, right? “
Fred’s pupils shrank, and after a moment he said, “If Mr. Grete can reveal some information, I can return the shares of the communication company that I have obtained.
If I can really do it, I can make the decision and represent Goblin International Bank to become your Dawn permanent friendly organization. “
Upon hearing his words, Grete couldn’t help but click her tongue.
Sure enough, what he thought was right, the goblins really collected the shares that had been lost in the communication company. It seemed that he needed to squeeze the shares in his hands even more tightly.
Lest one day I misremember or lose my mind, accidentally leaking some shares through my fingers, causing Great Communications Company to completely change ownership.
In fact, the shares of the communication company are not bad. As long as he and Penello do not let go of the shares, there is no possibility of the communication company changing hands.
But the permanent friendship organization that Fred mentioned was not just a casual thing.
Forget it in the Muggle world. No matter what kind of contract or contract, you can tear it up with just a few words. The difference is whether the benefits you are about to receive are worth it.
But the magical world is different. With the constraints of magic, the permanent friendly organization is not an empty talk.
As long as magic does not disappear from this world, even if both parties to the contract die, magic will maintain the permanent execution of this contract.
For a moment, Gretel was really moved.
Just like what Dawn did in The Wizard, it made a few enemies and many friends, and united all the forces that could be united.
Gretel also considered wooing the power of foreign races, because wizards alone really couldn’t stand on the same level as the Muggle world.
If it is true that the Muggle government intends to destroy everything, it will attack the wizarding world even if the economy is in recession.
There was nothing Gretel could do.
This is why he has always valued Seamus Finnigan.
If you have the ability to flip the table, you can let the Muggle government weigh the pros and cons.
When Fred said this, Gretel thought it was a good move.
In the past, I didn’t win over foreign races. Firstly, Gretel always felt that people who were not from my race would have different hearts. Secondly, Shuguang didn’t have that much energy.
The wizards are still trying to win over each other, so how can they have time to care about the foreign affairs?
Besides, of all the alien races in the world today, which one was not overturned by a wizard in history?
Elves, goblins, dragons, vampires, goblins…
If the wizards of the past had not beaten them down, none of them would have willingly retreated into the poor mountains and rivers of this world.
However, now Fred has given this opportunity.
Gretel didn’t know whether to trust him or not.
Unlike communications companies, it develops slowly and gradually infiltrates everyone in life.
Even if someone could see the power it contained, they would never be able to see it as clearly as Gretel.
Therefore, no one can imagine that a mobile phone or a small magic communication company will contain an entire era behind it.
The portal is different, Gretel believes, as long as the portal dares to bubble up in this world.
Everyone will become crazy, including but not limited to wizards and aliens.
At that time, Dawn and him will become the target of public criticism. If the Muggles learn about this matter, they will definitely have a hand in it.
Therefore, Gretel didn’t know for a while whether he should take the risk or not.
A few years ago, Grete would have boldly taken a gamble.
Anyway, regardless of Lai Hao, it only affects him.
It was different now, there was light behind him, there were saints, and even Hogwarts stood behind him.
If he really becomes the target of public criticism, the Ministry of Magic in England and Moldova will definitely be dug out by them.
At that time, everyone will encounter endless dangers because of their relationship with him.
As of today, everyone who knows about the portal has gained his unparalleled trust.
Gretel really couldn’t believe this old goblin who was hundreds of years old in front of him unless his life and soul were in his hands.
But when he thought about the warship that could pull the American fairy to the dawn, but lost this opportunity because he didn’t dare to gamble, Gretel seemed a little unwilling.
Grete was silent on the surface but stirred up emotions in his heart. Fred on the other side was also silent in response.
For a moment, the entire conference room fell into an eerie silence.
As for the previous sense of surveillance, after Fred stepped in again, it never appeared again.
…
I don’t know how long it took, but Gretel gave himself a hard blow and looked at Fred opposite him with a serious face.
“If I say that if you want to know this secret, you need to put your life and soul into my hands, will you be willing?”
Grete was silent for a long time, and when he spoke he made such an abrupt request.
He was instantly shocked by the old goblin opposite who didn’t seem to have a good product for many years.
Grete stared at his shocked pupils and said word by word, “This secret is very important. If not, I wouldn’t be able to believe you.”
Seeing Fred lowering his head again, Gretel let out a breath silently. At worst, he would start a war with the goblins, and it was still unclear who would win.
Gretel only waited for Fred to refuse, then stood up and returned to England.
Unexpectedly, within a few minutes, Fred raised his head and said, “Okay!”
Gretel did not expect that Fred, the old goblin, would choose to agree to such an outrageous request after being silent.
However, despite the shock, Gretel did not forget what he was going to do next.
In order to prevent him from regretting it, he took out the most vicious contract that was usually used to restrain the Death Eaters within Dawn and use it for experiments.
