Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 132 Bizarre Disappearance Case
Gretel thought that the rest of his trip to America would be spent on vacation.
That night he stayed in the black market street, but he never expected that his vacation life would be over the next day.
Grete never expected that the person who would find him would be Raven Keys from Goblin International Bank. When he found Grete, he looked extremely anxious.
“G…no, Mr. Garnell, Director Fred is missing. We have searched everywhere, but there is no trace of him.
Before he disappeared, he told me that I could trust you completely. “
The first words he spoke shocked Gretel.
Fred, that old goblin, they were able to establish some trust only yesterday.
However, the person disappeared today.
Grete couldn’t help but look a little scrutinizing in his eyes.
He couldn’t help but not think too much, after all, it was such a coincidence.
According to the information revealed by Fred himself, he has served as a chief officer in the Americas for hundreds of years, plus the time he spent as a grassroots employee.
It can be said that he has long become a Native American.
There has been no problem for hundreds of years, but not long after meeting him, he disappeared.
When meeting him, Grete felt that something was wrong.
After all, the enmity between goblins and wizards has been accumulated since ancient times. It’s hard to describe how long they have been grudged.
In this case, even if there is a backlog in the clan, they should not be so friendly to wizards.
Since meeting Fred, Gretel has not felt any resentment towards the wizard from him.
He didn’t even seem sincere in his bargaining.
It even gave Grete the feeling of being impatient.
I would like to ask, would a race that had once ‘destroyed’ the entire goblin kingdom by a wizard really be so friendly to a wizard?
Although his heart was still full of doubts, Grete felt that he should still lend a helping hand.
After all, no matter what, Fred paid the price for winning Gretel’s trust.
For the sake of the fragile alliance and to stabilize the financial system under the control of goblins, Gretel decided to go to Goblin International Bank.
It takes about an hour to drive from Goblin International Bank to Banshee Bar Black Market Street, but if you use wizard methods, you can get back here by apparating in a trance.
Although Grete didn’t know much about Fred, from those few glimpses, Grete had been able to roughly understand some of his strength.
His strength may not be able to move sideways in the Magic Century, but if someone can make him disappear quietly, Gretel will never believe it.
No matter how old and frail Fred is, the racial talent of the goblin is still there.
Coupled with hundreds of years of life experience, it is definitely not a joke to become a mature person with old age, so there is definitely an inside story about his disappearance that Gretel doesn’t know about.
Sure enough, after following Raven Keys to Fred’s residence, Gretel was sure that there was absolutely no fighting that had taken place here.
After all, the magic particles did not show any fluctuations, and they swayed lazily in the void one by one.
Whether it is the magical world or the Muggle world, there is no doubt that there are traces of actions.
If there had been a battle here, the magic particles would not be so peaceful at this time.
The magic particles that escape freely from the body will be assimilated into a lazy state.
However, it will take at least three days for the magic particles that have experienced the battle to calm down.
The magic particles told Gretel that there had been no fighting here and they had always been so peaceful.
In the entire area, only the fluctuations of apparation exist.
In this way, the possibility of Fred being kidnapped directly approaches zero.
Besides, if someone can kill such a powerful goblin in an instant, then his strength is beyond what Gretel can imagine.
At least, Gretel can’t do it yet.
Gretel also couldn’t imagine that anyone could do this.
If you really want to find someone who can do it, the owner of the Banshee Bar, Mrs. Vera, is the only person Gretel can think of who can do it.
However, that is even more impossible. If Mrs. Vera wants to take action, why delay it until now.
The Black Market Street and the International Goblin Bank have been able to live in peace and harmony for so many years. How could something like this happen at this time?
Gretel felt that Mrs. Vera would not do such a thing. After all, a person with such strength would not even consider the consequences no matter what she did.
If the goblins really offended her in any way, she would just come and slap them in the face without any consequences.
The goblin couldn’t afford to offend her at all, and all the goblins put together might not be enough for her to beat.
Grete even felt that if any goblin really offended her, they would hand over the culprit to her and let her do whatever she wanted without her opening her mouth.
This is the treatment you can enjoy after your personal power reaches a certain level.
Mrs. Vera only has a small bar under her name, and she doesn’t want to have a big family like Gretl.
As the leader, he must protect everyone in the organization. When doing things, he must look forward and backward.
Mrs. Vera, there are only a few bartenders in her bar.
Judging from Florin alone, the rest of the people may not have any deep relationship with her.
Such a strong person with nothing to worry about, no one would think of offending her.
Besides, although Gretel didn’t know why Mrs. Vera was so friendly to him.
But judging from Mrs. Vera’s attitude towards him, Gretel didn’t think she would take action against Fred.
The alliance between the two may be able to be hidden from others, but it certainly cannot be hidden from Mrs. Vera.
that’s the truth.
When Gretel reappeared in the Banshee Bar and consulted Florin, he received a look from Florin like he was a fool.
After seeing Gretel, he cast his somewhat horrified eyes towards the second floor.
That look seemed to say, don’t take him with you if you want to die.
For a strong man with such strength, Gretel’s behavior was already considered a provocation.
Just when Florin thought Gretel would be humanely destroyed, several pieces of paper suddenly appeared on the newly cleaned bar.
“The things recorded here can help you.”
Mrs. Vera’s voice came softly from the second floor.
“Florin, if you keep thinking about those strange things in your mind, let Kunlun collect the body for you.”
When Grete left with the things, he saw Florin seemed to be hung up, and his whole body was patted by a pair of big hands, and his face was full of peach blossoms.
Gretel felt that the control method of those big hands was very familiar.
After leaving the door with doubts, Grete looked at the papers in his hand, and then his eyes widened uncontrollably.
He was sure that Mrs. Vera’s feeling of familiarity just now was not an illusion, because those big hands were shaped by magic particles that he had developed.
The paper in hand is exactly how the magic particles are controlled.
It records that with the help of magic particles, the identity of the user of the curse can be traced.
From just a few pieces of paper, it can be seen that Mrs. Vera’s research on magic particles is much more advanced than his.
Holding back the heat in her heart, Gretel returned to Fred’s residence.
The most important thing for him now is to find out the truth behind the disappearance of old Fred the Goblin.
That is related to Dawn’s success in establishing a financial system controlled by wizards.
Only the American fairies under Fred’s control can make Gretel a little more trustful.
At least, he needs to confirm whether Fred is alive or dead so that he can make the next plan.
Grete has already sent back the news about her relationship with the American fairies.
The plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves has been gradually carried out in a stable manner.
Only the American fairies under the leadership of Fred can help Dawn stabilize the financial system and prevent the European fairies from overturning tables, breaking bowls, and completely pushing the wizarding world into chaos caused by the financial crisis.
Gretel didn’t want to bet on whether the goblins would do this.
If it were him, if he controlled the enemy’s economic system.
If the financial system he controls is about to escape his control, he will not mind giving his enemies a good drink, since it will not be his own people who suffer anyway.
Instead of surrendering, let the enemy take control of the economic system and counterattack in the future.
Anyway, if you want to get out of control, you might as well give it a try and let them suffer. Why not try this kind of thing that has no harm at all.
——
Returning to Fred’s residence, Gretel followed the method given to him by Mrs. Vera.
Connect with the ubiquitous magic particles.
Something strange happened. The originally lazy magic particles were strangely mobilized along with his communication.
Several figures made of magic particles formed in front of his eyes.
The faces are a bit unclear, but the race can still be clearly distinguished.
The short one is Fred, the old elf.
The remaining few turned out to be wizards.
Judging from their attire, they look very similar to the Aurors from the American Ministry of Magic.
Gretel could clearly distinguish the arrogant and arrogant bureaucracy in their bodies, even through the magic particles.
The most puzzling thing is that the relationship between the American goblins and the American Ministry of Magic is more tense than the relationship between Gringotts and the British Ministry of Magic.
In this case, the two of them would never meet anywhere except Goblin International Bank.
Historically, the American Ministry of Magic’s many attempts to suppress the autumn wind have long ago made the two at odds with each other, leaving only a semblance of harmony.
So, what did they come to see Old Fred for?
Because he was looking back at the scene through magic particles, Gretel could only see that they were having a heated conversation, but he had no idea what they were talking about.
After all, magic particles are not surveillance, and there is no way to record sounds that do not involve traces of magic.
They argued for a long time, and Fred seemed extremely excited.
In the end, I don’t know what the people from the Ministry of Magic said. Fred lowered his head and said nothing. There was no more argument.
Gretel watched as the people from the Ministry of Magic stepped forward, waved their wands, and disappeared from Fred’s residence.
…
From the beginning to the end, apart from verbal arguments, they did nothing else.
Fred didn’t do anything unnecessary. After the people from the Ministry of Magic left, he also disappeared from here.
Soon after everyone left, it was quiet for a while.
Suddenly several more figures appeared, apparently from the Ministry of Magic. They searched around and finally left.
After seeing this, the magic particles in the air dispersed instantly and continued to calm down again without doing anything.
Raven Keys on the side was stunned. He pursed his lips several times but did not say anything.
It was Gretel who clapped his hands and made him come back to his senses, “Some small magical means, nothing to be surprised about.
However, you have also seen what happened just now. I want to ask you if you know any news.
This helps me to help determine Fred’s whereabouts. “
“My grandfather never told me, and I don’t know why people from the Ministry of Magic came to him.
However, I could recognize the man in the lead. He was the head of the Office of Muggle Affairs and a confidant of the current Minister of Magic.
He accepts all allocations from the American Muggle government to the Ministry of Magic, and then exchanges them for gold Galleons, which is commonly used in the wizarding world, in our Goblin International Bank. “
Grete raised his eyebrows, feeling as if he was caught in some conspiracy.
Either way, something would happen sooner or later, but he had just established a good cooperative relationship with the American goblins, and when he was driving a nail in America, Fred was captured by the Ministry of Magic.
And the person who arrested him was the head of the Muggle Affairs Office of the Ministry of Magic in the Americas.
In the British Ministry of Magic, which department is the least important? After excluding the Office for the Management of Magical Creatures, the only department that deals with Muggles is left.
It would be better if it were a Muggle item management office, as it would still have quite a bit of management authority.
Those wizards who are curious about Muggle items have to be afraid of them.
But the Muggle Affairs Office that deals with Muggles and studies Muggles is undoubtedly the Qingshui Yamen.
Those newcomers who have just arrived at the Ministry of Magic would rather go underground and guard the warehouse than perform their duties in the Muggle Affairs Office.
But when they arrived in America, the person leading the Auror team on the mission turned out to be such an insignificant Muggle office director.
For a time, the Muggle government in America, the Ministry of Magic, and the goblins who were exiled to America and established the Gringotts branch painted a whole messy picture in Gretel’s mind.
It’s hard to truly understand what’s going on by just thinking about it.
Grete felt that he still had to make a practical investigation.
Thinking about what he had just seen, Fred’s final dejected scene, Gretel decided to go to the Ministry of Magic in America to look for clues.
After all, there was another person there who Raven recognized as a person involved in Fred’s disappearance.
John Doug, Director of the Office of Muggle Affairs, Ministry of Magic in the Americas.
After handing over Raven Keys, Gretel reintegrated into the magic particles and flew towards the territory of the American Ministry of Magic.
