Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 126
c126 Goblin hero
Faced with Fred’s questioning, Grete just gave him an unfathomable smile.
Secrets can only be revealed when they are needed.
Besides, the old guy in front of him is still a goblin after all.
No matter what his attitude is, before he gains trust, Grete can reveal a little information to him, which has already shown his sincerity in cooperation.
Goblins are aliens after all, not to mention that they are aliens who have experienced countless rebellions from ancient times to the present.
Grete can’t give them 100% trust.
Besides, even if they are inside Dawn, the only ones who can gain his 100% trust now are the group of people he brought out of Hogwarts.
That was cultivated by him, and as long as they accepted his orders, they would never fear death.
In fact, confidentiality is only one aspect, and the other is because the things he is going to take out have not been studied yet.
Although he has found a lot of clues these days, he still hasn’t been able to break through.
The difficulty of conquering the portal is much more difficult than he imagined.
If he controls it himself, it would be fine. All people or objects sent out of the portal can at least be guaranteed to be intact.
But if he is a little distracted while maintaining the portal, the objects sent through will inevitably suffer some damage.
It is even more troublesome for people. Now only wizards can pass through. No other living creatures without magic can survive.
Gret did not dare to experiment with Squibs and Muggles.
After all, Azkaban only imprisons wizards, not Squibs, or in other words, Squibs or Muggles are not qualified to be imprisoned.
Even if they are imprisoned, they will probably not see the sun the next day.
This is still the case with Gret controlling it.
The situation when he does not control it is more complicated. Ordinary materials cannot withstand the pressure of the portal at all.
Often after the portal is opened, it will inexplicably turn into powder in a few breaths.
Things sent through this portal will be like being erased and completely disappear from this world.
For so long, he has tried countless methods and tried almost all kinds of materials in the magic world.
But so far, it can only be said that the progress is slow.
But Grete is not fooling Fred. After all, if the portal is really stable, the benefits created will definitely not be less than those created by the communication company.
Obviously, the goblins also have their own lie detection spell.
After all, after Grete finished speaking, Fred’s face was only puzzled, and there was no doubt.
“It seems that Mr. Fred already knows that I am not lying to you, so can we discuss our cooperation properly next?”
Grete’s words awakened the old goblin who was in deep thought.
“Of course, it’s just that the matter is of great importance. I hope Mr. Grete 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.”
Grete looked at Fred deeply, and nodded silently after a long time.
Fred here forced himself to cheer up, covered up a little fatigue with excitement, and hurriedly left the meeting room.
For a while, only Grete was left in the entire meeting room.
Leaning back in his chair, Grete glanced at the corner of the conference room with amusement.
He knew, of course, that Fred’s preparations were false. If Fred was in full control of the entire Goblin International Bank, what could he prepare for?
The heads of the two organizations were sitting here, and they could decide everything.
It can be inferred that he really had to prepare some backup plans.
If what Fred just said was true, then it means that they had been dissatisfied with Gringotts headquarters hundreds of years ago.
He had seen quite a few of the old goblins in Gringotts.
He might not know the power struggles within the goblins, but he knew one thing.
Everything has traces. If they had really made preparations for independence a long time ago.
The old guys in the goblin clan would definitely not be unaware of it.
In this case, they could not let Gringotts in America develop freely. At least, they would also plant some spies among the American goblins.
If what he said was false, then he must be communicating with England now.
Grete was not worried at all. After all, Dawn and Gringotts had long known each other in secret.
Everyone knew that the other party had bad intentions towards them.
It was just that due to some realistic factors, they could not bring the conflict to the surface.
Wizards could not afford the consequences of war, and neither could the goblins.
Besides, since Grete dared to lay these things out to him, he was naturally not afraid of him turning against him behind his back.
After all, from beginning to end, he did not say anything he should not say.
He just said that all the business of the communication company would be settled through the Goblin International Bank, and he did not say that he would take action against the goblins.
On the contrary, it was Fred on the opposite side who shook off his own thoughts.
Grete did not do anything else. He just “accidentally” recorded these words while talking.
Ignoring the eyes quietly observing in the corner, Grete played the video he had just recorded.
If the cooperation can be done well, even if Fred, the old goblin, is not really cooperating.
Shuguang doesn’t mind using this video to play another public opinion war in the entire magic world.
After all, what he said was so convincing, and this glorious image is worth recording.
By then, even if Fred is doing things according to the arrangements of the goblin clan.
Under the overwhelming public opinion propaganda, he has to become a real pioneer in the struggle.
Strive for the freedom of all civilian goblins, tsk, what a great slogan.
A race must need heroes.
If the goblins don’t have one, Grete doesn’t mind creating one for them.
The lower class against the upper class, the common people against the nobles, this kind of good character should never disappear.
Unless there is no oppression.
But is that possible?
As long as there are classes, oppression will never disappear.
In other words, if the goblins can create a world without oppression, he doesn’t mind letting the goblins manage the world.
It’s like a joke he saw in his previous life.
Aliens invaded the earth, and they stipulated that all earthlings can only work four hours a day.
All the rest of the time must be used for rest or self-improvement, and to ensure the welfare of everyone.
If this is true, will anyone still hold high the banner of resistance against alien tyranny at that time?
…
Fred did not let Gret wait too long. Shortly after Gret played the video, Fred hurriedly appeared in the conference room.
He had a helpless bitter smile on his face. Obviously, he already knew that Gret had recorded the video.
“Mr. Gret, you really don’t need to be so vigilant.
All the American fairies have no intention of harming you.
As for monitoring, it is standard in every conference room. You also know that America is not safe. We must protect the safety of all customers’ property.
Also, I just went to control the spies planted here by our tribe…”
Seeing that he was still going to explain something endlessly, Gret had to stop him out loud.
“I need to see the sincerity of your Fairy International Bank.
At least, I have put out 5% of the shares of the communication company, right?
Even if you can’t achieve your goal through the communication company, I still have other ways to help you gather everyone’s strength together.
Mr. Fred can be sure of this, right?”
Fred’s pupils shrank slightly, 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 already obtained.
If it can really be done, I can make the decision and represent the Fairy International Bank to become your Dawn Permanent Friendly Organization.”
Hearing his words, Grete couldn’t help but click his tongue repeatedly.
Sure enough, he was right. The fairies really collected the shares that had been lost in the communication company. It seems that he needs to hold the shares in his hands a little tighter.
Lest one day he remembers it wrong or his brain breaks down, and accidentally lets more shares slip through his fingers, causing Grete Communication Company to completely change hands.
In fact, the shares of the communication company are easy to say. As long as he and Penelope’s shares don’t let go, there is no possibility of the communication company changing hands.
But the permanent friendship organization that Fred mentioned is not just a random thing.
Forget about the Muggle world. No matter what kind of contract or agreement, it can be torn up with a few words. The only difference is whether the benefits that are about to be obtained are worth it.
But the magic world is different. With the constraints of magic, the permanent friendship organization is not just 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 execution of this contract forever.
For a moment, Gret was really tempted.
Just like what Shuguang did among wizards, make fewer enemies, more friends, and unite all the forces that can be united.
Gret also considered winning over the power of alien races, because wizards alone can’t stand on the same level with the Muggle world.
If the Muggle government really intends to fight to the death and fight the economic recession to hit the magic world.
There is nothing Gret can do.
This is also the reason why he has always valued Seamus Finnigan.
If you have the ability to flip the table, you can make the Muggle government weigh the pros and cons.
After Fred said this, Grete felt that it was a good move.
In the past, we didn’t win over the alien races, firstly because Grete always felt that those who were not of our race must have different hearts, and secondly because Dawn didn’t have that much energy.
There were still many wizards to win over, so how could we have time to care about the affairs of the alien races.
Besides, all the alien races in the world today have been overturned by wizards in history.
Elves, goblins, dragons, vampires, goblins…
If the wizards in the past didn’t knock them down, who would be willing to shrink into the poor mountains and bad waters of this world.
However, now Fred gave this opportunity.
Grete didn’t know whether to trust it for a while.
Unlike a communication company, it relies on slow development and subtly influences everyone in life little by little.
Even if someone can see the power it contains, they definitely don’t see it as thoroughly as Grete.
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, Grete 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.
