Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 133
c132 Bizarre disappearance case
Grete thought that the rest of his trip to America would be spent on vacation.
He stayed in the black market that night, but he didn’t expect that his vacation life would be declared over the next day.
Grete never thought that the person who would find him would be Raven Case of the Fairy International Bank. When he found Grete, he looked extremely anxious.
“G… No, Mr. Ganel, Director Fred is missing. We have searched everywhere, but we can’t find any trace of him.
Before he disappeared, he told me that I can trust you completely.”
The first sentence he said surprised Grete.
Fred, the old goblin, they had just established some trust yesterday.
But he disappeared today.
Grete couldn’t help but look at him with a little scrutiny.
He couldn’t help but think too much, after all, the matter was too coincidental.
According to the information revealed by Fred himself, he has been the chief officer in America for hundreds of years, plus the time he was a grassroots employee before.
It can be said that he has long been a native of America.
Nothing had gone wrong for hundreds of years, but he disappeared not long after meeting him.
When Gret met him, he felt that something was wrong.
After all, the hatred between fairies and wizards has been accumulated since ancient times, and it is not enough to describe how long the hatred has been accumulated.
In this case, even if there is a backlog in the tribe, they should not be so friendly to wizards.
Since meeting Fred, Gret has not felt any resentment towards wizards from him.
Even his bargaining seems not so sincere.
It even gives Gret a feeling of impatience.
Let me ask, can a race that has been “destroyed” by wizards really be so friendly to a wizard?
Although his heart is still full of doubts, Gret feels that he should still lend a hand.
After all, no matter what, Fred paid a price for gaining Gret’s trust.
For the fragile alliance relationship and to stabilize the financial system under the control of the fairies, Gret decided to go to the Fairy International Bank.
It takes about an hour to drive from the Goblin International Bank to the Banshee Bar Black Market Street, but if you use the means of wizards, you can return here through the Apparition in a trance.
Although Grete didn’t know much about Fred, but from those few glimpses, Grete was able to roughly understand some of his strength.
His strength may not be able to walk sideways in the magic century, but if someone can make him disappear quietly, Grete will never believe it.
No matter how old and weak Fred is, the racial talent of the goblin is there.
In addition to hundreds of years of life experience, it is definitely not a joke that people become spirits when they are old, so his disappearance must have an inside story that Grete doesn’t know.
Sure enough, after following Raven Case to Fred’s residence, Grete was sure that there was absolutely no battle here.
After all, there was no fluctuation of magic particles, and they were lazily floating in the void.
Whether it is the magic world or the Muggle world, there must be traces of actions, this is beyond doubt.
If there had been a battle here, the magic particles would not be so calm at this time.
The magic particles that escaped freely from the body would be assimilated into a lazy state.
But the magic particles that had experienced a battle would take at least three days to calm down.
The magic particles told Grete that no battle had ever taken place here, and they had always been so calm.
In the entire area, there were only fluctuations of apparition.
In this way, the possibility of Fred being abducted was close to zero.
Besides, if someone could kill such a powerful goblin in an instant, then his strength would be beyond Grete’s imagination.
At least, Grete himself could not do it now.
Grete could not think that there was anyone who could do this.
If you really want to find someone who can do it, the owner of the Banshee Bar, Mrs. Vera, is the only one that Grete can think of who can do it.
But that is even more impossible. If Mrs. Vera wanted to do it, why did she drag it on until now?
Black Market Street and the International Fairy Bank have been living in peace for so many years. How could such a thing happen at this time?
Grete felt that Madam Vera would not do such a thing. After all, people with such strength do not even need to consider the consequences no matter what they do.
If the fairies really offended her in any way, she would just go to their door and slap them in the face, and there would be no consequences.
The fairies could not afford to offend her at all. All the fairies combined might not be enough for her to beat.
Grete even felt that if a fairy really offended her, she would not need to ask, the fairies would take the initiative to hand over the culprit and let her deal with it.
This is the treatment that can be enjoyed after a person’s power reaches a certain level.
Madam Vera only has a small bar under her name, and she is not like Grete, who has a big family.
As the leader, he needs to protect anyone in the organization, and when doing things, he can’t help but look ahead and behind.
Madam Vera, there are only a few bartenders in her bar.
From Florin’s point of view, the rest of the people may not have a deep relationship with her.
No one would think of offending such a strong person who has nothing to worry about.
Besides, although Gret didn’t know why Mrs. Vera was so friendly to him.
But judging from Mrs. Vera’s attitude towards him, Gret didn’t think she would do anything to Fred.
The alliance between the two may be hidden from others, but it will definitely not be hidden from Mrs. Vera.
This is indeed the case.
Gret reappeared in the Banshee Bar and asked Florin for advice, and got the look that Florin looked at a fool.
After looking at Gret, he cast a somewhat frightened look at the second floor.
That look seemed to say, don’t take him with you if you want to die.
For a strong person with such strength, Gret’s behavior is already a provocation.
Just when Florin thought Gret would be humanely destroyed, a few pieces of paper suddenly appeared on the cleaned bar.
“The things recorded here can help you.”
Mrs. Vera’s voice came down from the second floor.
“Florin, if you keep thinking about those strange things in your mind, let Kunlun collect your body for you.”
When Gret left with the things, he saw that Florin seemed to be hung up by someone, and his whole face was slapped by a pair of big hands.
Gret felt that the control method of the big hands was very familiar.
After leaving the door with doubts, Gret looked at the several pieces of paper in his hand, and then his eyes widened uncontrollably.
He was sure that Mrs. Vera’s familiarity just now was not an illusion, because the pair of big hands he had developed, magic particle shaping.
The paper in his hand also showed the control method of magic particles.
It recorded the identity of the user of the spell with the help of magic particles.
Just a few pieces of paper, it can be seen that Mrs. Vera’s research on magic particles is much more advanced than his.
Resisting the heat in his heart, Gret returned to Fred’s residence.
The most important thing for him now is to find out the truth about the disappearance of the goblin old Fred.
That is related to the success of Dawn in establishing a financial system controlled by wizards.
Only the American goblins under Fred’s control can make Grete trust them a little.
At least, he needs to confirm whether Fred is alive or dead, so that he can proceed with the next plan.
Grete has already sent back the news about the relationship with the American goblins.
The plan of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf has been gradually carried out in a stable manner.
Only the American goblins led by Fred can help Dawn stabilize the financial system and prevent the European goblins from overturning the table, breaking the bowl and completely pushing the magic world into the chaos caused by the financial storm.
Grete doesn’t want to bet whether the goblins will do this.
If it were him, if he controlled the enemy’s economic system.
If the financial system he controlled was about to get out of his control, he would definitely not mind letting the enemy drink a pot, anyway, it would not be his own people who would suffer.
Rather than surrendering, let the enemy control the economic system and counterattack in the future.
Since they were going to get out of control anyway, they might as well give it a try and let them suffer. Why not give it a try if there were no harms but only benefits?
——
Returning to Fred’s residence, Grete followed the method given to him by Lady Vera.
Contacted the ubiquitous magic particles.
A strange thing happened. The originally lazy magic particles were strangely mobilized with his communication.
Several figures made of magic particles formed in front of him.
Their faces were a little unclear, but their races could still be clearly distinguished.
The short one was Fred, the old goblin.
The remaining few were actually wizards.
Looking at their attire, they looked very similar to the Aurors of the American Ministry of Magic.
Even through the magic particles, Grete could clearly distinguish the arrogant bureaucratic flavor on them.
The most confusing thing was that the relationship between the American goblins and the American Ministry of Magic was more tense than that between Gringotts in England and the British Ministry of Magic.
In this case, the two of them would never meet anywhere except the Goblin International Bank.
Historically, the American Ministry of Magic’s repeated attempts to get money had long made the two sides hostile to each other, leaving only a trace of superficial harmony.
So, what was the matter with them coming to old Fred?
Because the scene at that time was retraced through magic particles, Grete could only see that they were talking very intensely, but he didn’t know what they were talking about.
After all, magic particles are not surveillance, and there is no way to record sounds that do not involve magic traces.
They argued for a long time, and Fred looked extremely excited.
In the end, I don’t know what the people from the Ministry of Magic said, Fred lowered his head and said nothing, and never argued again.
Grete watched the people from the Ministry of Magic walk up, waved their wands, and disappeared from Fred’s residence.
…
From beginning to end, they did not do anything else except verbal confrontation.
Fred did not do anything extra, and after the people from the Ministry of Magic left, he also disappeared from here.
Not long after everyone left, there was silence here for a long time.
Suddenly, a few figures appeared. They seemed to be from the Ministry of Magic. They searched around and finally left.
After seeing this, the magic particles in the air instantly dispersed, and continued to do nothing and calm down again.
Raven Case on the side was already stunned. He stammered several times and didn’t say a word.
It was only when Grete clapped his hands that he came back to his senses, “Some small magic tricks, nothing to be surprised about.
However, you also saw what happened just now, I want to ask you if you know any news.
This will help me help determine Fred’s whereabouts.”
“Grandfather never told me, and I don’t know why the people from the Ministry of Magic would find him.
However, I can recognize the leader. He is the head of the Muggle Affairs Office and the confidant of the current Minister of Magic.
He accepts the grants from the American Muggle government to the Ministry of Magic, and then goes to our Fairy International Bank to exchange them for gold galleons commonly used in the magic world.”
Grete raised his eyebrows. He felt as if he was caught in a conspiracy.
It would have been better if nothing had happened sooner or later. But just when he was about to establish a good cooperative relationship with the American goblins and plant a nail in America, Fred was arrested by the Ministry of Magic.
And the person who arrested him was the head of the Muggle Affairs Office of the American Ministry of Magic.
In the British Ministry of Magic, if you want to say which department is the least important, after removing the Office of Magical Creatures Management, there is only the department that deals with Muggles.
If it is the Muggle Item Management Office, it is better, and it still has a lot of management authority.
Those wizards who are curious about Muggle items have to be afraid of them.
But the Muggle Affairs Office, which deals with Muggles and studies Muggles, is undoubtedly a poor government office.
Those newcomers who have just arrived at the Ministry of Magic would rather go down to guard the warehouse than to perform their duties in the Muggle Affairs Office.
But when they arrived in America, the one who led the Aurors on the mission was actually such a Muggle Office Director with little presence.
For a moment, the Muggle government in America, the Ministry of Magic, and the goblins who were exiled to America and built the Gringotts branch, painted a whole chaotic picture in Grete’s mind.
It is difficult for one person to really understand what happened when he pondered.
Grete felt that he still had to investigate it in practice.
Thinking about the scene he had just seen, Fred’s last dejected look, Grete decided to go to the Ministry of Magic in America to look for clues.
After all, there was another person who Raven recognized, who was involved in Fred’s disappearance.
John Doug, Director of the Muggle Affairs Office of the American Ministry of Magic.
After explaining Raven Case, Grete merged into the magic particles again and flew towards the territory of the American Ministry of Magic.
