Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 127
c127 Get on board
Grete didn’t want to gamble on the unknown trust.
What’s more, for wizards, fairies are aliens.
As wizards, they still need contracts to guarantee the trust between each other, let alone fairies.
Grete doesn’t have so much cheap trust to share with these aliens.
For wizards, if they have the same ambitions, Grete will open the door to convenience, at most just to ensure that they will not betray.
But for aliens, Grete will not be so casual.
The most dangerous fight between wizards is who will be in power, and at most it will affect their Dawn organization.
After all, no matter who becomes the uncrowned king, as long as he doesn’t want to be alone, he will not kill his own people.
Even if it is implicated, it will not affect too many people.
It’s different for aliens, and the house elves are proof of this.
Without wizards, they don’t even have the courage to continue their lives. The only reason for their survival is to serve wizards.
Of course, there are exceptions among house elves.
Dobby, who is now active in Hogwarts, is a house elf who has regained his independent will.
But exceptions are exceptions after all. More house elves, like Winky of the Crouch family and Kreacher of the Black family, exist only for their masters.
Kreacher’s lifelong pursuit is to be able to be beheaded by his master when his life comes to an end, just like his ancestors, and become a decoration in the family.
Winky has been in a state of panic since he was fired by Barty Crouch Sr.
He paralyzed himself with alcohol, and when he finally woke up, he punished himself with self-abuse.
This is the current situation of most house elves. Their ancestors have been trained as slaves since the day they were born, and have become slaves serving their masters for generations.
Hermione also formed the Elf Promotion Association after learning about Winky’s current situation.
In order to liberate the house-elves, she left her own knitted woolen fabrics in the Gryffindor common room so that the house-elves could get “freedom” when cleaning the common room.
All students at Hogwarts are the little masters of the house-elves in Hogwarts, and she has the right to do so.
However, it is obvious that the house-elves cannot appreciate such “good intentions” and they regard this as an insult to themselves.
Since then, no house-elves except Dobby have appeared in the Gryffindor common room.
If it were not for Dobby, Gryffindor would become the first college where only young wizards can clean the common room by themselves.
Gret felt chilled when he thought that if the magic world was ruled by aliens, wizards would fall to such a point.
Therefore, he would never give any alien any trust, even a little bit.
At least, before the magic world was unified and wizards and Muggles were completely integrated, Gret would not.
Perhaps they have wisdom, even far beyond the wisdom of wizards, and perhaps they have demands for fairness, but Gret’s regret and sympathy are not so cheap.
Before his own people are full, Gret will not arbitrarily give up his own interests to these foreign races. He is not rich enough.
On this point, the entire Dawn has long formed a unified opinion.
In addition, from what Fred said now, the situation has become that the American goblins need him and want to get the freedom they dream of through him.
Therefore, Gret will not give up this opportunity to attack the shield of the other with his spear.
Since there is a lack of the most basic trust between wizards and goblins, Gret will use his means to forcibly create a path of trust.
The secret of the portal cannot be known to outsiders, so the best way is to turn the insider into one’s own.
There is no more convenient way than relying on the supreme magic contract to turn others into one’s own.
After the black spell that combined Professor Voldemort’s lifelong wisdom, Grete has long been a unique existence among dark wizards.
However, this method of turning others into one’s own seems a bit cruel.
After signing this contract, Fred will no longer belong to himself from body to soul.
Grete’s thought can send him to hell, no matter where he hides in this world.
But there is no way, Grete does not have so much time to let the goblin gain his trust through performance.
Just like the Death Eaters, Grete does not have time to influence them one by one, not to mention that their sins are not worth Dawn’s energy to brainwash them.
Becoming a test subject is their journey of atonement.
If one day in the future, after the whole world is liberated, Grete may be kind and let someone give them the end they dream of.
Even wizards are like this, how could Fred, a goblin, be treated differently by Grete.
As a goblin, he is destined to bear the sin of goblin rebellion.
Grete slapped the contract in front of Fred, and then he relaxed.
He gave Fred the opportunity, and whether Fred could seize it or not had nothing to do with him.
For Fred, this was a gamble, a blind gamble with his life and soul as chips.
But for Grete, this was just a casual move.
It would be great if it could happen, but if it couldn’t, it wouldn’t be a loss for him.
As for the consequences, the most is that he will encounter more dangers when walking in the magical world.
While Fred was thinking about it, Gretel silently scanned his panel.
Each Lv.EX logo made Gretel feel reassured.
Oh, it’s dangerous, is he still afraid?
The contract in front of me can be described as a devil to beautify it.
Looking at the old godlike Gretel, Fred was a little doubtful. Didn’t the wizard in front of him really crawl out of hell?
Tangled, he didn’t even know whether what Grete took out could help him fulfill his long-cherished wish.
He only knew that as long as he signed this contract, from now on, he would be at the mercy of others and would have no power to fight back.
After living for hundreds of years, he has never seen such an evil person. Why is the name of the organization established by such a person called Dawn?
Fred swore that he had never hated gambling as much as he did now.
He cast his eyes on Gretel, his eyes were full of pleading, even if he revealed a little bit, even if he just made up some unfounded things to deceive this old man who didn’t have many years to live.
At least it doesn’t look like a blank wolf.
Fred persuaded himself that as long as Gretel said a word, he would help the American fairies gain independence. Even if it was just empty words, he would risk his life and soul and sign this devil’s contract.
However, that was destined to be a fantasy. He didn’t know that Gretel was already thinking in his mind about how to minimize Dawn’s losses after the war with the goblins.
And thinking about how to retain more fire to make a comeback in the future if they fail in the end.
Selling himself out like a house elf was never on his mind.
——
“Mr. Gretel, I’ve signed it.”
There was a desperate madness in Fred’s voice, and he promised that if Gretel’s secret did not meet his expectations, he would not become Gretel’s accomplice to harm the goblins just to survive.
Gretel was awakened by Fred’s voice, and his eyes were less estranged and more approving.
Even if they get along in a different place, he doesn’t dare to say that he can be as free and easy as Fred, so he dares to bet.
At least, Grete would not do this until he saw evidence.
If someone took a picture of such a contract in front of him, he would definitely let that person see what it means to be angry and blood will be splashed five steps away.
Fortunately for Fred, Gretel was not like that.
He really just wanted to be safe, not to deceive.
Otherwise, relying solely on the constraints of the contract, he could make Fred shed his last drop of blood for Dawn.
The contract turned into ashes before their eyes and became a magic spell.
Now that the contract has been established, Grete also has a rare expression of trust in the foreign race in his eyes.
At least, trust in Fred himself.
“Let’s go, the environment here is not suitable. We need to go to a place without people so that you can completely relax.”
After Grete finished speaking, he reached out his hand and grabbed Fred.
In a daze, the originally comfortable conference room turned into a deserted desert.
The scorching sun was high, and the steam in the distance was steaming, distorting the hills further away and making them seem unreal.
The moment Fred saw his surroundings clearly, he couldn’t help but feel more at ease.
As the only financial institution in the wizarding world, Gringotts has the most complete security system no matter where it is in the world.
Even the goblins themselves would not be able to use magic spells so casually inside Gringotts.
It is this kind of security system that makes Gringotts’ vault the safest place in the world.
Gretel took a deep breath and calmed down.
Under Fred’s observation, Gretel controlled the endless magic particles in nature to surge toward him, gradually forming the shape of a door in front of him.
Violent fluctuations gradually distorted the space in front of them.
Finally, after reaching a critical point, the gate cast by Gretel completely stabilized.
“Fred, step inside, and you’ll understand why I made you sign such a harsh contract.”
Fred looked at the other side of the door. The strong wind suddenly rose, rolling up endless yellow sand and hitting the two people on this side of the door.
After putting his life and soul on the line, Fred had nothing to lose.
So at this time, he didn’t have any worries or fears at all.
Not to mention that the visible scenery opposite was yellow sand, even if it was the dragon’s lair opposite, he dared to step straight into it.
After giving Gretel one last look, Fred stepped in and appeared on a sand dune.
Just as he stepped through the doorframe and appeared on the other side, Grete spoke up.
“look back.”
Fred turned around immediately when he heard the sound, and then he fell into a sluggish state.
how to say.
Through the door that Xianza still maintained, he could see Gretel’s figure.
However, looking far away from the door, he could still see Gretel.
It’s as if Gretel exists in two spaces at the same time, but is strangely balanced.
In an instant, he seemed to understand something. He hurriedly took off an object from his body and threw it out of the door.
Then he returned to Grete with a phantom.
He took off the badge he had thrown and was lying stubbornly on the yellow sand.
When he verified the authenticity of the badge, Grete cancelled the portal and sat down on the sand without caring about his face.
His face was pale and his forehead was covered with sweat. It took him a while to relax. He took out a bottle of magic potion from his pocket and swallowed it.
This potion was a strategic item developed by Dawn for war.
It was to ensure the endurance of wizards in war.
Seeing Fred’s whole person go from sluggish to ecstasy, he took several deep breaths and couldn’t utter a complete sentence.
Grete finally rested, stood up, and said, “Now, Mr. Fred can understand my caution.
I wonder if we can sit down now and discuss the specific details of the American goblins boarding the ship?”
To say that at the beginning, Fred had to choose to gamble because of the oppression of his own nobles.
Now, he is thankful for his boldness, and for not losing his youthful determination in the passing of time.
He knows very well what the emergence of the portal means.
Whether in ancient times or now, whether human or alien, whether in the magic world or the Muggle world.
All intelligent life has devoted its energy to shortening the distance between the worlds.
So, the magic world has Apparition and Portkeys, and the Muggle world has faster and faster ships, cars and airplanes.
However, the distance of Apparition is too short and the control is too difficult.
The physical sense of the Portkey is too poor, and legal authorization is required to use it. Frequent use will also encounter various dangers.
However, all of this, from the time when the teleportation array appeared, the word space distance will lose its meaning in this world.
All the time and cost that used to be spent on the road will be compressed to a very low level.
It was at this time that Fred realized what the interests that Grete said to satisfy everyone were.
No wonder Grete asked him to sign such a harsh contract.
It can be said that the day the portal is truly released, the storm of interests it creates will sweep the world.
No matter who it is, it is impossible to control such a portal of interests alone.
Not Grete, not Dawn, not even the entire goblin clan, and even the entire magic world cannot do it together.
The Muggle world will not sit idly by and watch such a thing being controlled by the magic world.
But at the same time, Fred was completely relieved. It seemed that he did not make a wrong bet this time.
He was even glad that he took this opportunity to get a ticket, even if it was exchanged for his life and soul.
