Hogwarts doesn't need a savior

The two old men joined forces to attack, making Euphemia blush and Lin En feel uneasy. He had to agree to stay for lunch, which was how he managed to get through.

At the dinner table, the very pleased Lemay couple kept asking questions, as if they were eager to finalize their future plans at the dinner table.

For a couple who have never had children, although Lynn and Euphemia have only been together for a short time, their relationship is deeper than almost anyone else.

It's like looking at your own child.

Perenelle took out the necklace that had been with her for hundreds of years, put it on Euphemia on the spot, and gave Lynn some instructions.

Lin En was frightened by the old lady's aura, and looking at Euphemia who was blushing and keeping silent, he could only nod yes repeatedly, not daring to show the slightest reluctance and being extremely honest.

Old Nico was gloating on the side.

He recalled the time he was caught drinking secretly - Lin En ran very fast at that time.

Now the situation has changed, which makes the old child in a very good mood and he is very happy.

But before he could be happy for long, his wife's cold gaze brought him back to reality.

"Don't learn from old man Nico. He's always so dishonest. If Fei gets wronged by you, do you think I can go to Hogwarts with a broom and beat you up?"

The disdainful gaze that swept back and forth made people feel creepy.

An old man and a young man looked at their noses with their mouths and their hearts with their noses at the same time, sitting upright and not looking to the side.

This is a silent understanding, and to some extent it is also a reflection of family status.

-----------------

After lunch and before departure, Perenelle, still unsatisfied, called Euphemia away and whispered something to her.

Old Nico also quickly took Lin En to the study and carefully closed the door. He heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that it was safe: "It's safe... It's all your fault. Let me be scolded too."

"Who is the one who makes Perenelle angry all the time?" Lynn pointed out mercilessly, "It's not me. I am the one who got into trouble."

“You kid…” Old Nico was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at Lin En fiercely. He said unhappily, “Originally I had prepared a gift, but now it seems I’d better forget it.”

“No way.” Lin En raised his eyebrows and walked forward. “You haven’t even returned the elixir of immortality to me last time. Now you want to owe me money again? No way!”

"Oh? Elixir of Life?" The old man smiled meaningfully, like a six-hundred-year-old fox. "Didn't you say last time that you couldn't use it? Have you changed your mind?"

"You're so long-winded!" Lin En's face was filled with black lines at the series of questions. "Can you be more serious at your age?"

"There is no topic more serious than life."

Nico said with a smile, then moved closer mysteriously, "Don't you want to create a Philosopher's Stone?"

"……ha?!"

Chapter 150 Gringotts

Until leaving Beauxbatons and returning to London, Lynn had not yet recovered from the explosive news given by the old man.

Seeing him like this, Euphemia asked softly, "Why are you so distracted? What happened?"

Lin En didn't say anything, but raised her hand to touch her new necklace and gently pinched her small earlobe.

Although the streets were empty, such an intimate gesture still made Euphemia blush and pout, "You are fooling around again!"

But while he said this, his actions were the opposite.

She held onto Lin En's arm tightly and leaned forward. "Don't keep me in suspense. What happened? Did old Nico tease you? Ignore him. He just likes to make trouble."

"Nothing much, we just discussed an alchemy problem." Lin En's heart moved, and he said calmly.

"What alchemical question?" Euphemia showed interest. "Tell me about it."

Lynn cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "It's just a small problem. I just want to make a new Philosopher's Stone."

“So that’s it… eh?!” Euphemia shuddered suddenly in the middle of her words, and subconsciously hugged Lin En’s arms tightly, her mouth slightly opened, revealing great surprise.

It was truly a feast for the eyes, and Lin En's mood instantly improved.

"We are going to make a new Philosopher's Stone together," he said calmly, "although it is not possible in the short term, after all, most of the materials are basically extinct."

"No, you...you guys...why did you suddenly think of making a philosopher's stone?" Euphemia's mind went blank, and her small mouth turned into a cute "O" shape again.

"It's a long story..."

Lynn's voice floated over the street.

From far behind, all he could see was Euphemia's head resting gently on his shoulder, her long, smooth hair gently swaying in the soothing breeze.

-----------------

Soon after, the Leaky Cauldron.

Old Tom, who was wiping the cup, happened to look up and saw two people walking towards him hand in hand.

"Good afternoon, are you here..."

"I'm going to Gringotts. I won't drink today." Lynn greeted him with a smile, tapped his wand to reveal the entrance to Diagon Alley, and walked in without stopping. "Come again next time, but you can prepare a few bottles of brandy for me. I'll take them back to Hagrid."

"Okay, walk slowly!"

Old Tom readily agreed, waved the white cloth in his hand goodbye, hummed an unknown tune and went to find Hagrid's favorite cognac.

They are all old customers, and he knows the preferences of these Hogwarts drinking buddies very well.

-----------------

There weren't many wizards in Diagon Alley, and it was far less lively than it was in August.

Just along the main road is Gringotts headquarters.

This towering silver-white building is not only the only wizarding bank in the UK, but also the world's largest global bank, fully controlled by goblins.

As a core component of the goblin "conditional surrender" in the 18th century, it covered the wizarding economy like a huge spider web and also gave goblins a special status.

They are both discriminated against by wizarding society and yet so vital that they cannot be replaced.

But no race would be happy to be stewards and craftsmen forever, and conflicts and frictions continue, but they move into the dark.

The two walked side by side into the tightly packed lobby of Gringotts. Every staff member was dressed in a suit, most of them were goblins, with only a few wizards.

They ignored the goblin who came forward to greet them, and went straight to find the person in charge of the lobby today.

"Mr. Eric, Ms. Fox... May I ask what can I do for you today?" The wrinkled fairy frowned slightly, then smiled in a formal way, "Do you need me to guide you to the vault? It's my honor to serve you."

"No need, Mr. Hawke." Lynn shook his head, took out the nameplate with Golu's name from the bracelet, cut it in half with magic, and threw one half over, "Take it to your congressman."

Figures flashed through Hawke's mind quickly, and finally stopped, which made him startled.

But he remained calm and blank on the surface, bowed politely and said, "Please wait a moment, Mr. Eric, the congressman happens to be upstairs."

After saying that, he simply snapped his fingers and disappeared.

Lynn and Euphemia looked at each other, and saw their own reflections in each other's eyes, as well as a tacit understanding that did not require any words or actions.

In three to five minutes at most, Hawke would be gone and back.

He returned briskly and said respectfully, "Sir Ie, please come upstairs for a chat. Please follow me."

-----------------

"Nice to meet you. I'm Yiai. It's an honor to meet you two distinguished guests. Thank you for your guidance."

Iaie's office is not as magnificent as most goblins, but rather appears rather plain.

There was no fancy magic silverware, just plenty of tea sets.

A middle-aged goblin, who was about forty or fifty years old, walked forward with a smile. Hawke closed the door in time and left alone.

This person is a director of Gringotts and the actual manager of the headquarters' daily affairs. He also holds an important position in the Goblin Council, the highest authority in the goblin society, and has a prominent status.

But in front of Lynn and Euphemia, he was very humble and took the initiative to sit in the guest seat and pour tea for them.

After some greetings and his compliments, the atmosphere became harmonious. Lin En also picked up the teacup and took a sip politely.

Yi Ai's heart was relieved a little, and he had some idea of ​​the intention and purpose of the two people. He took out half of Golu's nameplate and put it on the coffee table.

"According to records, Golu took up his post at the Egypt branch in Africa not long ago as the head of scientific research. Unexpectedly..." He sighed.

“I didn’t expect that this rising star from Gringotts would actually collude with the Restorationists and even become a member of the Loyal Warriors, right?” Lynn said with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Eric, this brings shame to us." Yi Ai's face was full of pain. "Where is this hateful traitor?"

"He's dead." Euphemia said coldly, "Buried with a group of notorious dark wizards in Asia."

"Ah? This... this is so regrettable." Iai said this with a lively expression and a look of smug joy in his eyes. "Gringotts is willing to double your compensation for your losses. We will also launch an internal investigation."

"Thank you for your generosity, but we also got some clues from him." Lynn leisurely took out a piece of parchment. "Perhaps the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the International Confederation of Wizards will be interested in it?"

"No!" Yi Ai just took a glance and jumped up from the sofa, horrified.

It was full of familiar names—some of them almost semi-public supporters of the Restoration movement.

But he soon realized that this had no legal effect.

Realizing his mistake, he quickly made amends, "I mean, I'm afraid he's not telling the truth. He's probably just making up stories. After all, he hasn't been properly interrogated."

"That makes sense. What if we add this?"

Lynn had anticipated his reaction and threw Grick's nameplate onto the table with a clang.

It also touched Yi'e's heart.

He instantly realized that Lin En came prepared, and his expression changed repeatedly.

But seeing the two people's indifferent expressions, he still sat down slowly, with a more attentive smile on his face.

"Perhaps we can sit down and discuss this slowly. This is a big matter." He said humbly, "Gringotts will do everything possible to meet your requirements."

Lin En shook his head and said without question, "I think Minister Fudge and Director Bones should also come over to discuss this. As you said, this is a big deal and must be considered carefully."

His determined gaze made Iaie realize that this powerful wizard was no longer the same as he was eleven years ago.

Now he is more reserved and has a bigger appetite.

Chapter 151 Using force to suppress others

Gringotts is very efficient.

Before they had even finished their cup of tea, Fudge and Amelia arrived at Gringotts together.

"Amelia, do you know what happened?" Fudge wiped the sweat off his face and looked at the number one director who was at odds with him.

Amelia still had her usual serious expression and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, I don't know either, Minister." Then she turned her head away to hide her mischievous smile.

The elevator was very fast and arrived in a flash. Yi Ai was waiting at the door, with a deep thought in his mind.

-----------------

"...In other words, Lynn, you eliminated this group of restorationists in Georgia? And you got evidence of their crimes."

Fudge looked at the nameplate and parchment on the table, and inexplicably felt that a storm was about to come - this made him feel uneasy as he was not good at dealing with emergencies.

"Yes, Minister." Lin En said, "Thirty-one dark wizards, twenty-five restorationist goblins including Golu, and six Pukki. This is a considerable force."

"Yes, yes..." Fudge was sweating profusely, "This is really a big event that can cause a sensation... Amelia, what do you think?"

"Report to the International Confederation of Wizards and dispatch a special investigation team to conduct investigations at Gringotts branches and sub-branches in various countries, with a focus on eliminating those on the list. This group of restorationists has already demonstrated the reliability of the list, so we should not be too rigid about the formalities and should handle special cases on a case-by-case basis."

Amelia Bones said expressionlessly, glancing at Lynn without leaving a trace.

Yiai's face looked visibly ugly.

Although he knew that this was an exorbitant price, he still did not dare to be careless.

If he made the slightest mistake, not to mention Gringotts, his own status among the goblins would plummet, and all his power would be gone.

This was unacceptable to him.

Before Fudge could speak, he said, "There is no need to make a big fuss. Gringotts will conduct a strict internal investigation to find out the black sheep who colluded with the rebels."

"You promised the same thing eleven years ago. At that time, you were the black sheep who colluded with the Dark Lord." Euphemia said bluntly, making Iai's face turn pale.

The scene fell into subtle awkwardness and silence.

"Don't be like this, Fei." After waiting for a while, Lin En said at the right time, "Sometimes we can trust our fairy friends more - but this depends on the judgment of the minister."
