Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 299 Gringotts
“How much do you want?”
Lu Yunkai thought about it and decided that it would be better to ask directly.
If you go around in circles with people like Umbridge, sooner or later Lu Yunkai will have to go around him.
“One hundred thousand gold galleons is enough. It’s nothing to you, right?” Umbridge said again, “Eileen Hill’s life is worth this price, right? “
“Of course.” Lu Yunkai nodded, “But I’m curious, can you really escape after you get the money?”
“Whether I can escape is my own question…”
“That’s not what I said.” Lu Yun laughed: “In case you can’t escape, the money I gave you will become stolen money to help you escape from the Ministry of Magic. Then the people from the Legal Enforcement Department will not invite me. Go and have tea.”
“Don’t worry, even if I get caught, I won’t turn you in.” Umbridge shook her head, “I still have this kind of ethics.”
“Empty words.” Lu Yunkai stretched out his hand to Umbridge.
Do not break your oath.
Umbridge was stunned for a moment, then smiled and stretched out her hand to hold Lu Yunkai’s.
It cannot be accomplished without breaking the oath.
“Let’s go to Gringotts and I’ll get the money for you.” Lu Yunkai stood up, “You don’t dare to ask for the gold coins from Gringotts, do you?”
“Of course. Don’t worry, I will leave immediately after I get the money.” Umbridge stood up with a smile.
Lu Yunkai walked out of the Leaky Cauldron without saying a word, with his head buried all the way to Gringotts.
He didn’t even pay attention to anyone who greeted him on the street.
The huge hall of Gringotts was busy and quiet. Lu Yunkai found a goblin who seemed to be fine and walked straight over.
In fact, he doesn’t even know how much money he has in Gringotts Bank. Although he is an absolute VIP customer here, he rarely comes here.
I just come here every year to get some cash before school starts.
One thousand gold galleons at a time was enough for him to use for a year and there was still some left.
“Hello, welcome to Gringotts Wizarding Bank. How can I help you?”
The goblin sitting behind the high counter looked at Lu Yunkai standing below and asked.
“I am Lu Yunkai.” Lu Yunkai said to the goblin calmly.
“Lu Yunkai… Oh! What do you need, sir?” The goblin heard Lu Yunkai’s name, and his condescending tone disappeared instantly.
Strong put on a flattering smile.
“Withdraw money. One hundred thousand gold galleons.” Lu Yunkai said calmly.
His voice was not loud, but in the already quiet Gringotts, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.
“Can I trouble you to verify your identity?” The goblin became more polite.
As he spoke, he pointed to a scale placed next to him.
Lu Yunkai pointed the magic wand at the scale.
A blue light.
The goblin was stunned.
“Sir, have you changed your wand recently?”
“Well, that wand was damaged earlier. What?”
“That’s right, your wand is the only symbol of Gringotts’ personal account management.” The goblin said with an apologetic expression on his face, “We need your dedicated customer service to confirm that it is you, and then update your new account. Only after receiving the relevant information about the magic wand can we handle the withdrawal for you.”
“……how long?”
Lu Yunkai glanced at Umbridge who was following behind him, and then asked.
“I will notify your customer service immediately, please wait.” The goblin flipped through a pamphlet in front of him and pointed at it with the wand in his hand.
“Don’t worry, I’m patient.” Umbridge smiled slightly.
Lu Yunkai nodded.
It’s one thing to pay back a favor, but Lu Yunkai was so disgusted with Umbridge that he really didn’t want to talk to her anymore.
At this stall, a familiar figure from Lu Yunkai appeared behind the goblin.
“Lu Yunkai?? Why are you here??”
“Why, I can’t come?” Lu Yunkai was stunned.
“…Nothing.” Fleur shook her head with a strange expression, “What’s the matter with you?”
“Withdraw money.” Lu Yunkai sighed, “I changed my wand. The people from Gringotts asked me to update my registration?”
“Oh! Okay!” Fleur nodded, “Come with me.”
“OK.”
Lu Yunkai nodded and glanced at Umbridge behind him.
“I’ll just wait for you here.”
Umbridge still smiled.
Lu Yunkai followed Furong out of the Gringotts hall and went around to a small room next to it.
“Why did you come here? Ron didn’t tell me you would come!”
As soon as she entered the house, Fleur complained.
“…Ron?? Wait! They sneaked in today? So fast?” Lu Yunkai understood instantly.
“Yes!” Fleur shook her head angrily, “I was still worried about them, but you suddenly appeared.”
“It’s useless to worry. They should be quite prepared…”
Lu Yunkai’s words have not yet finished.
Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded throughout Gringotts.
It was whining wildly.
“Oops, Gringotts’ protection alarm has been triggered.” Fleur looked increasingly anxious, “What did they do? Didn’t I already steal the vault key to Hermione? How could the alarm be triggered?”
“…” Lu Yunkai rubbed his brows.
So, what if Furong had stolen it from the vault?
If something happens, Furong, do you plan to continue working here?
“Gringotts’ security personnel must have gone down. Now they are in trouble.” Fleur scratched her head angrily, “It’s just the three of them, I’m afraid they won’t be able to escape…”
“How about I go rescue them?”
“You? Forget it! The security personnel of Gringotts are all first-class wizards. Don’t send a wizard apprentice like you who has not graduated yet.” Fleur shook her head, “If you are caught, you want to redeem yourself. Not cheap!”
“…Wait a minute! You said if you were caught by them, you can pay for redemption??” Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, with a ridiculous look on his face.
“Of course! Can Gringotts build a prison to imprison people?” Fleur nodded, “Gringotts is a bank, not the Ministry of Magic. Generally, if you are caught committing a crime in Gringotts, you just have to pay a fine. ”
“…How much does it cost per person?”
“It’s usually 15,000 to 20,000 gold galleons, right?” Fleur was a little unsure, “Of course, if there are damaged items, you have to pay the price, but the prices are very shady…”
“If money can solve the problem, then it won’t be a problem.” Lu Yunkai’s worried heart was relieved, “Okay, please help me update the wand registration!”
“…Why, if they are caught, are you willing to pay for their redemption?”
“Otherwise? Who among the three of them can afford it?”
“You should have told me earlier!!” Fu Rong’s worried heart was relieved, “If I knew you were willing to spend money to cover the whole situation for them, I wouldn’t be so nervous anymore.”
“…” Lu Yunkai smiled silently.
“Give me the wand, and I’ll register it for you.” Fleur also completely put aside matters concerning Harry and the three of them.
It didn’t take long to register the wand, but within a minute or two, Lu Yunkai’s new wand became his identity at Gringotts.
After that, it was up to Fleur to help him get the one hundred thousand gold galleons in cash.
“How much money do you have in your account? Can you tell me privately?”
Furong saw that Lu Yunkai had withdrawn this amount, and she suddenly became a little curious about his account balance.
But Lu Yunkai didn’t intend to tell her.
Because he himself doesn’t know very well…
The two of them walked out of the room one after another. Just as they were walking back to the hall, the ground suddenly began to shake slightly.
“Is this an earthquake?” Lu Yunkai frowned.
“It shouldn’t be! Gringotts has anti-shock spells…”
Furong’s words haven’t finished yet.
The ground was more than shaking.
Lu Yunkai looked at a huge bulge appearing on the ground in the center of the Gringotts lobby. The bulging ground turned red and melted at lightning speed.
Then, a huge flame spurted out from the cracked hole.
All this happened in less than a blink of an eye.
Before the people screamed, a dragon rushed out of the cave entrance…
The huge wings carved a hole in the ground almost as big as the lobby itself.
Even Lu Yunkai and Furong, who had just walked out of the room, were carried back by the air flow from the dragon and sat on the ground.
Fortunately, the huge hole was still a few meters away from where the two of them were standing.
But this is already a disaster.
The hall that was quiet and peaceful one second, with everyone busy with their work, almost completely disappeared the next second.
“Can this matter still be solved with money?”
Lu Yunkai looked at the messy scene in front of him and asked Furong with some fear.
Lu Yunkai was willing to bet that Harry and the others had definitely released that dragon.
These three guys are really… powerful!
“It should be possible, right?” Furong looked at this scene and smiled bitterly, “As long as no one is killed, anything can be said.”
“…This scene doesn’t look like an immortal!” Lu Yunkai let out a long sigh.
Shaked his head.
“I don’t know…the three of them haven’t been caught yet, should they be fine?” Furong was a little unsure.
“…If I had known this, I might as well have done it myself!” Lu Yunkai smiled bitterly, “Okay, you go and help me withdraw the money…Hey, wait a minute! Where is Umbridge?”
“…Who? That old woman who was following you just now?” Fleur scanned the messy hall and didn’t see anyone wearing pink clothes. Her expression instantly became very strange, “Could it be… …That person was killed by Harry and the others, right?”
“…If so, how much money Harry and the others have to pay to Gringotts, I’ll cover it all!!”
“Huh? That person is not your friend?”
“Enemy, you are extorting money from me. Otherwise, why do you think I took so many gold Galleons?”
“…it seems to be really missing.”
Fleur once again carefully scanned the hall with her eyes.
Smiled silently.
“Wait a minute, don’t rush to withdraw money.”
Lu Yunkai took out the communication mirror and sent a message to Umbridge.
“Where have you been? No more money??”
After waiting for a while, there was no reply.
“It seems I have to treat Harry and the others to dinner.” Lu Yunkai put a smile on his face.
“Huh? Is that person really missing?”
“should be……”
Halfway through Lu Yun’s words, the mirror started shaking.
Lu Yunkai’s expression instantly became a little worse.
But soon, he laughed again.
The person who sent him the message was not Umbridge, but Hermione.
“Hufflepuff’s golden cup is in our hands! Do you want to come and see us destroy the Horcruxes together?”
“OK!”
Lu Yunkai sent the message back.
“Then do you still want to get your gold galleons?” Furong looked at Lu Yunkai’s happy smile and her mood improved. “I’ll get it if you want it.”
“You can take it out and put some in your hand.” Lu Yunkai thought for a moment and nodded, “But now that Gringotts is in such a mess, can we still take it out?”
“There’s nothing we can’t do! Gringotts’ slogan is, even if it’s the end of the world, we will still serve you as long as you need it. This scene… is no problem.”
“…Well, if you hadn’t said that, I would have forgotten that you are an employee of Gringotts.” Lu Yun smiled and sighed, “Then go and do your work! I…will help out in the hall.”
“Help? What help? There are many people here…”
“Are you sure no one saw Harry and the other three flying away on their dragons just now? And I don’t want anyone to remember that I came here with someone.”
“Then what do you mean…the Oblivion Curse?”
“Well, I see there aren’t many people here, so I should be able to make it in time.”
“I’ll come with you!”
“You are an employee of Gringotts after all, so don’t get involved.” Lu Yun smiled and said, “I’m here. I just happened to be looking for where that Umbridge is.”
