Harry returns from Hogwarts Legacy

Chapter 108 Harry: I need an explanation!
Harry thought for a moment and chose to put the wand back. After all, he was still counting on the goblin to take him to the vault to get something.

He really didn't expect that after not seeing this magic wand for such a long time, this old friend seemed to have some more functions?
Perhaps it was due to the absorption of Lanlock's energy?
But then again, countless goblins have died under this wand.

Although Harry was once a kind person who was so afraid of hurting ants when sweeping the floor, he gave up his kindness after seeing the goblins slaughtering the village.

Although Gringotts repeatedly claimed that Lanlock's behavior had nothing to do with the goblins in Gringotts, Harry still felt that the goblins in Gringotts were not good people either.

When Harry took his wand back, the goblins finally fled in fear.

"Oh my God, what on earth is this..." Griphook swallowed hard.

"Don't ask if you don't have to ask." Harry said in a calm voice, "Now that I have taken out the token, you should take me to the vault, right?"

"Okay, Mr. Potter, this way please." Griphook said respectfully.

He led Harry along, one hand behind his back gesturing to the other goblins.

Harry noticed his little movement, but he didn't care too much.

Before coming to Gringotts, he had prepared a portkey in his bag, which, after activation, could quickly take him back to the outside of the Leaky Cauldron.

Harry followed Griphook into a narrow stone corridor, illuminated by burning torches.

The stone corridor is a steep downhill slope with a small railway winding forward on the ground.

Griphook whistled, and soon a cart came rushing towards them along the track.

"Come up, Mr. Potter," Griphook said, turning around, and then he sat in first.

Harry also walked up and sat down, putting a miniature armor in front of him to protect himself - just enough to block the wind from his face, but not enough to protect Griphook.

On the way, we also passed an underground lake covered with huge stalactites and stalagmites, some of which even hung down to the ground.

Finally, the cart stopped in front of a small door. It seemed that the cart was set with some kind of magic, as it could always stop steadily in front of the vault it wanted to go to.

"We're here, Mr. Potter," Griphook said respectfully, jumping out of the car.

Harry got out of the car and looked up at Vault 313.

It must be said that just looking at the door, it is much more imposing than the door of the Potter family's safe.

"A total of 2,763,215 gold Galleons." Griphook held a piece of paper and said calmly, "In addition, there are some antiques and treasures, all of which were collected by the Austro-Hungarian royal family a hundred years ago. Let me see, it says... there are also some precious alchemical materials, and even rare things like angel wings. I really don't know who the mistress of the vault is."

backing?

Harry thought about it and it seemed that Vivi had an aunt whose nickname was "Sissi", who seemed to be married to a man named Joseph, who was said to have some power in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

But... two million gold galleons?!

Is this what Vivi meant by “a little money”?
He was still sighing in his heart, but his face remained calm. He said to Griphook, "Open the door."

Griphook nodded, walked forward, and tapped something on the door. Then the door lock was opened and a thick green smoke came out from inside the door.

When the smoke cleared, Harry looked inside...

After a while.

Harry numbly withdrew his gaze from the emptiness...

This...isn't this right?
Where is the money you mentioned?
He searched carefully in the vault and saw a pitiful copper knut in a corner.

There is also a silver-white princess crown hanging at the back of the vault.

"Is this the more than two million gold Galleons you were talking about?!" Harry pointed at the empty vault and his blood pressure rose.

No, are you fucking kidding me?

Gold Galleons are nothing, if they are lost, they are lost.

Antiques and curios didn't matter, Harry didn't care about that.

But where are my fucking angel wings? !
Vivi puts this huge pile of angel feathers here?

Harry never believed that Vivi would lie to him, especially since the list recorded in detail what was on it.

After hearing what Harry said, Griphook turned his head.

He took a deep breath and looked horrified.

"Mr. Potter, this is a serious accident. I need to inform the higher-ups at Gringotts..."

Harry didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly, took out the aging potion from his arms and took a sip.

"Now please come back with me. I think..." Griphook swallowed his saliva, "I think the top management of Gringotts will definitely give you a reasonable explanation."

"You'd better!" Harry said and got back into the car.

Returning along the same route, Harry returned to the hall of Gringotts.

As a result, as soon as he walked into the hall, he was stopped by two goblins in suits.

"Mr. Potter, the President invites you." The two goblins said respectfully.

Harry looked down at them and pointed to the ground.

"Tell him to come to me, here."

"This..." The two fairies looked at each other, both showing embarrassed expressions.

"My vault was robbed, and the treasure inside disappeared!" Harry snorted coldly, "I need Gringotts to give me an explanation! Was it the goblins' poor supervision, or was it the thief's own fault?"

After hearing Harry's words, the originally quiet hall of Gringotts suddenly boiled like a frying pan.

As we all know, Gringotts has been famous for its safety since its establishment.

In other words, this is the foundation of their presence in the wizarding world.

Now suddenly, someone openly claimed in the lobby of Gringotts Bank that the treasure in his vault had disappeared.

Even the fairies who followed him to get the treasure lowered their heads and acquiesced at this time...

It is conceivable how big of an impact this has on Gringotts' employees and the wizards who come to deposit and withdraw treasures.

The goblins stared at Harry and whispered.

The wizards who came here to handle business were also confused and looked at Harry and then at Griphook.

They were very eager to know what was going on.

The two goblins in suits sighed, turned around and left the hall of Gringotts.

"Mr. Griphook, I think I need a reasonable explanation." Harry said in a flat tone, "Or, if you can't give me a satisfactory explanation, then I will let my old friend come and talk to you."

"No, no, no, no, Mr. Potter." Griphook forced out a reluctant look: "Please come with me to the VIP lounge. We promise that we will give you a reasonable explanation about what happened in the vault 313!"

"Hmph." Harry snorted and followed Griphook into the VIP lounge. After a while, two goblin waiters came in trembling with tea and desserts.

They served Harry attentively, but their faces were very serious, and if you looked closely, they even looked a little frightened.

"What do you mean by that?" Harry glanced at the two goblins. "I remember that the standard for the service industry is to smile. Why don't you smile? Don't you like to smile?"

The two goblin servants muttered in their hearts, there is no such rule in Gringotts...

But faced with the holder of a magic wand stained with the blood of countless goblins, they decisively chose to follow their hearts and forced out a reluctant smile.

Soon, there was a knock on the door. After getting Harry's permission, the two goblins in suits walked in one after another.

Then, a cross-eyed goblin walked into the room.

"Mr. Potter." The cross-eyed goblin bowed to Harry, "We finally meet."

Harry nodded politely and asked, "Do we know each other?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Potter, although we don't know each other, I grew up hearing your name."

Bo Derick shuddered as he spoke.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Bodrick Cross-Eyed, the president of the Goblin Brotherhood."

"You're not from Gringotts?" Harry asked unhappily.

He originally thought that the person who came was a goblin from Gringotts, so he didn't refuse to meet him just now.

But I'm having a fucking dispute with Gringotts right now, why are you here to get involved?!

Seeing the displeasure on Harry's face, Bodrick's heart sank.

He quickly apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Potter, I know you have something important to do, but I still want to bother you for a moment..."

After all, it is not advisable to hit a smiling person. If Bodrick had been arrogant from the beginning, Harry would have taken out his wand long ago.

But Harry has always been a person who responds to soft words rather than hard ones. Bodrick has been so humble, and it is not easy for him to use any harmless little evil spells to communicate with him.

"I'm running out of time, so please speak as soon as possible." Harry tapped the table with his fingers.

"That's right, Mr. Potter." Bodrick tried his best to control his words: "I...well, we have all heard of your great reputation in the past. Now that you have returned to the wizarding world you are loyal to, we goblins also want to...want to clarify the misunderstanding with you."

"Indeed, we should clarify the misunderstanding," Harry wiped his nails casually. "In the past, we had some minor unpleasantness with you goblins, and we exchanged some opinions fully and frankly - but that was not my intention. However, if there are scums among you goblins who covet ancient magic and kill innocent people again..."

At this point, Harry said meaningfully: "I'll keep an eye on you."

Hearing Harry's words, Bodrick's heart made a sharp explosion.

A little unpleasantness?

And a full and frank exchange of views?!

You call that a little unpleasantness?

Oh my God! The thousands of fairies who followed Lanlock back then were all wiped out by you!

Bodrick still remembered how the elders described them - those students cast green spells when they met, and there was a pair of young men and women who knew ancient magic...

Countless goblins have died under your wand alone - otherwise, why would it issue such a terrifying threat to goblins? !
but……

After getting the answer from Mr. Potter, Bodrick was very satisfied.

As long as he doesn't continue to expand the problem to all fairies...

"Thank you for your tolerance, Mr. Potter." Bodrick touched his chest and said, "Your tolerance is enough to illuminate the entire wizarding world."

"Let's not discuss this issue for now. I have more important things to discuss with you fairies right now."

Harry spoke softly, but his words carried a lot of weight in the goblin ears.

Got something more important to talk about?!

Suppressing the goblin rebellion was only a minor inconvenience, and Bodrick really couldn't imagine how serious the "more important things" would be.

"Just say it, Mr. Potter." Bodrick said respectfully, "We, the Goblin Brotherhood, can still say a few words in Gringotts, and we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Harry nodded and called Griphook over to him.

"A hundred years ago, my friend deposited a fortune in Gringotts. When I went to retrieve it today, the fortune disappeared."

Harry gave Griphook a look, and Griphook stepped forward to present the list to Bodrick.

"I need an explanation now. Where did my treasure go?"

Bodrick took the list and a mask of pain immediately appeared on his face.

This... this is a fortune that can be described? !
Even for Gringotts, more than two million gold Galleons is an astronomical sum, not to mention that there are many precious alchemical materials and antique instruments inside...

He no longer dared to think about what would happen next if Gringotts could not give a suitable answer.

"Don't worry, Mr. Potter!" Bodrick immediately said, "I will definitely urge Gringotts to give you a satisfactory answer!"

Harry nodded, quite pleased with Bodrick's attitude.

At this moment, the person in charge of Gringotts also trotted into the room, ran in front of Harry, and obviously made a sudden braking motion.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Bodrick." His little eyes blinked. "Regarding your matter, Mr. Potter, I have heard the relevant personnel repeat it once. Now I will urge the teller to verify this matter and will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"

"Then I'll wait." Harry nodded and said reasonably.

The person in charge breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Harry did not cause any disturbance in Gringotts.

Harry just didn't know what these goblins were thinking, otherwise he would definitely sneer.

After all, I have lived under the education of Principal Blake for more than five years, and even stones have acquired a little smell.

This is a society ruled by law. Harry will try his best to remain decent no matter what.

Soon, the tellers from Gringotts filed in, holding thick stacks of documents in their hands.

They sat down a short distance in front of Harry and began to go through the documents.

Harry did not rush them, but just drank his tea leisurely and calmly, waiting for the final result.

Sure enough, he didn't have to wait too long.

Just half an hour later, a fairy stood up, waving a stack of papers in his hand.

"Here! I found it!"
