Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 299
c299 Gringotts
“How much money do you want?”
Lu Yunkai thought about it and decided it would be better to ask directly.
If he beat around the bush with someone like Umbridge, Lu Yunkai would be trapped sooner or later.
“One hundred thousand gold Galleons is enough. It’s nothing to you, right?” Umbridge said again, “Is Erin Hill’s life worth this price?”
“Of course.” Lu Yunkai nodded, “But I’m curious, can you really escape with this money?”
“Whether I can escape is my own problem…”
“That’s not what I said.” Lu Yunkai laughed: “If you can’t escape, the money I give you will become stolen money to help you escape the Ministry of Magic. At that time, the people from the Law Enforcement Department will invite me to have tea.”
“Don’t worry, even if I am caught, I will not give you up.” Umbridge shook her head, “I still have this integrity.”
“Empty words are not enough.” Lu Yunkai stretched out his hand to Umbridge.
Don’t break your oath.
Umbridge was stunned, then smiled and stretched out her hand, holding Lu Yunkai’s.
The oath must not be violated.
“Let’s go to Gringotts, I’ll get you money.” Lu Yunkai stood up, “You don’t dare to take the gold coins from Gringotts to withdraw the bill?”
“Of course. Don’t worry, I’ll leave immediately after getting the money.” Umbridge smiled and stood up.
Lu Yunkai walked out of the Leaky Cauldron without saying a word, buried his head, and came all the way to Gringotts.
He didn’t even respond to someone who greeted him on the road.
The huge hall of Gringotts was busy and quiet. Lu Yunkai found a goblin who looked like he had nothing to do and walked straight over.
In fact, he himself didn’t know how much money he had in Gringotts Bank. Although he was an absolute VIP customer here, he rarely came here.
He only came to withdraw some cash before the start of school every year.
One thousand gold galleons at a time, enough for him to use for a year and have some left over.
“Hello, welcome to Gringotts Wizarding Bank. How can I help you?”
The goblin sitting behind the tall counter asked Lu Yunkai who was standing below.
“I am Lu Yunkai.” Lu Yunkai said to the goblin indifferently.
“Lu Yunkai… Oh! What do you need, sir?” The goblin heard Lu Yunkai’s name, and the condescending tone just now disappeared instantly.
Jianqiang put on a flattering smile.
“Withdraw money. One hundred thousand gold galleons.” Lu Yunkai said indifferently.
His voice was not loud, but in the already quiet Gringotts, it attracted the attention of many people at once.
“Can you please verify your identity?” The goblin spoke more politely.
As he said that, he pointed to a scale next to him.
Lu Yunkai pointed the wand in his hand at the scale.
A blue light.
The goblin was stunned.
“Sir, have you changed your wand recently?”
“Well, the previous wand was damaged. Why?”
“It’s like this, your wand is the only symbol of our Gringotts as a personal account management.” The goblin had an apologetic expression on his face, “We need your exclusive customer service to confirm that it is you, and then update the relevant information of your new wand before we can process the withdrawal for you.”
“…How long will it take?”
Lu Yunkai glanced at Umbridge who was following behind him, and then asked.
“I will notify your customer service immediately, please wait.” The goblin flipped through a booklet in front of him and pointed at it with his wand.
“Don’t worry, I have patience.” Umbridge smiled slightly.
Lu Yunkai nodded.
It’s one thing to repay a favor, but Lu Yunkai really disliked Umbridge as much as he could, and he really didn’t want to talk to her more.
At this juncture, a familiar figure of Lu Yunkai appeared behind the goblin.
“Lu Yunkai?? Why are you here?”
“Why, I can’t come?” Lu Yunkai was stunned.
“…Nothing.” Furong shook her head with a strange expression, “What do you want?”
“Withdraw money.” Lu Yunkai sighed, “I changed my wand, and the people at Gringotts asked me to update my registration?”
“Oh! Okay!” Furong nodded, “Come with me.”
“Okay.”
Lu Yunkai nodded and glanced at Umbridge behind him.
“I’ll wait for you here.”
Umbridge still had a smile on her face.
Lu Yunkai followed Furong out of the hall of Gringotts and walked into a small room next to it.
“Why did you come? Ron didn’t tell me you would come!”
As soon as she entered the room, Furong complained.
“…Ron?? Wait a minute! Did they sneak in today? So fast?” Lu Yunkai understood instantly.
“Yeah!” Furong shook her head with an annoyed look on her face, “I was still worried about them, but you suddenly appeared.”
“There’s no point in worrying, they should be well prepared…”
Lu Yunkai’s voice was not finished.
Suddenly, the whole Gringotts was filled with piercing alarms.
It was blaring wildly.
“Oh no, the Gringotts security alarm has been triggered.” Furong looked more and more anxious, “What did they do? Didn’t I steal the vault key and give it to Hermione? How could the alarm be triggered?”
“…” Lu Yunkai rubbed his brows.
So, the vault key was stolen by Furong and given to them?
If something happens, Furong, do you plan to continue working here?
“Gringotts’ security personnel must have gone down. Now they are in trouble.” Fleur scratched her head angrily, “It’s just the three of them, I’m afraid they won’t be able to escape…”
“How about I go rescue them?”
“You? Forget it! The security personnel of Gringotts are all first-class wizards. Don’t send a wizard apprentice like you who has not graduated yet.” Fleur shook her head, “If you are caught, you want to redeem yourself. Not cheap!”
“…Wait a minute! You said if you were caught by them, you can pay for redemption??” Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, with a ridiculous look on his face.
“Of course! Can Gringotts build a prison to imprison people?” Fleur nodded, “Gringotts is a bank, not the Ministry of Magic. Generally, if you are caught committing a crime in Gringotts, you just have to pay a fine. ”
“…How much does it cost per person?”
“It’s usually 15,000 to 20,000 gold galleons, right?” Fleur was a little unsure, “Of course, if there are damaged items, you have to pay the price, but the prices are very shady…”
“If money can solve the problem, then it won’t be a problem.” Lu Yunkai’s worried heart was relieved, “Okay, please help me update the wand registration!”
“…Why, if they are caught, are you willing to pay for their redemption?”
“Otherwise? Who among the three of them can afford it?”
“You should have told me earlier!!” Fu Rong’s worried heart was relieved, “If I knew you were willing to spend money to cover the details for them, I wouldn’t be so nervous anymore.”
“…” Lu Yunkai smiled silently.
“Give me the wand, and I’ll register it for you.” Fleur also completely put aside matters concerning Harry and the three of them.
It didn’t take long to register the wand, but within a minute or two, Lu Yunkai’s new wand became his identity at Gringotts.
After that, it was up to Fleur to help him get the one hundred thousand gold galleons in cash.
“How much money do you have in your account? Can you tell me privately?”
Furong saw that Lu Yunkai had withdrawn this amount, and she suddenly became a little curious about his account balance.
But Lu Yunkai didn’t intend to tell her.
Because he himself doesn’t know very well…
The two of them walked out of the room one after another. Just as they were walking back to the hall, the ground suddenly began to shake slightly.
“Is this an earthquake?” Lu Yunkai frowned.
“It shouldn’t be! Gringotts has anti-shock spells…”
Furong’s words haven’t finished yet.
The ground was more than shaking.
Lu Yunkai looked at a huge bulge appearing on the ground in the center of the Gringotts lobby. The bulging ground turned red and melted at lightning speed.
Then, a huge flame spurted out from the cracked hole.
All this happened in less than a blink of an eye.
Before the people could even scream, a dragon rushed out of the cave entrance…
The huge wings carved a hole in the ground almost as big as the lobby itself.
Even Lu Yunkai and Furong, who had just walked out of the room, were carried back by the air flow from the dragon and sat on the ground.
Fortunately, the huge hole was still a few meters away from where the two of them were standing.
But this is already a disaster.
The hall that was quiet and peaceful one second, with everyone busy with their work, almost completely disappeared the next second.
“Can this matter still be solved with money?”
Lu Yunkai looked at the messy scene in front of him and asked Furong with some fear.
Lu Yunkai was willing to bet that Harry and the others had definitely released that dragon.
These three guys are really… powerful!
“It should be possible, right?” Furong looked at this scene and smiled bitterly, “As long as no one is killed, anything can be said.”
“…This scene doesn’t look like an immortal!” Lu Yunkai let out a long sigh.
Shaked his head.
“I don’t know…the three of them haven’t been caught yet, should they be fine?” Furong was a little unsure.
“…If I had known this, I might as well have done it myself!” Lu Yunkai smiled bitterly, “Okay, you go and help me withdraw the money…Hey, wait a minute! Where is Umbridge?”
“…Who? That old woman who was following you just now?” Fleur scanned the messy hall and didn’t see anyone wearing pink clothes. Her expression instantly became very strange, “Could it be… …That person was killed by Harry and the others, right?”
“…If so, how much money Harry and the others have to pay to Gringotts, I’ll cover it all!!”
“Huh? That person is not your friend?”
“Enemy, you are extorting money from me. Otherwise, why do you think I took so many gold galleons?”
“…it seems to be really missing.”
Fleur once again carefully scanned the hall with her eyes.
Smiled silently.
“Wait a minute, don’t rush to withdraw money.”
Lu Yunkai took out the communication mirror and sent a message to Umbridge.
“Where have you been? Don’t want the money??”
After waiting for a while, there was no reply.
“It seems I have to treat Harry and the others to dinner.” Lu Yunkai put a smile on his face.
“Huh? Is that person really missing?”
“should be……”
Halfway through Lu Yun’s words, the mirror started shaking.
Lu Yunkai’s expression instantly became a little worse.
But soon, he laughed again.
The person who sent him the message was not Umbridge, but Hermione.
“Hufflepuff’s gold cup is in our hands! Do you want to come and watch us destroy the Horcruxes together?”
“Sure!”
Lu Yunkai sent a message back.
“Do you still want to take your gold Galleons?” Furong looked at Lu Yunkai’s happy smile and felt better. “If you want, I’ll take it.”
“You can take it out and put some in your hand.” Lu Yunkai thought about it and nodded. “But now Gringotts is in such a mess, can you still take it?”
“Why not! Gringotts’s slogan is that even if it’s the end of the world, as long as you need us, we will still serve you. This scene… no problem.”
“… Well, if you didn’t say that, I would have forgotten that you are an employee of Gringotts.” Lu Yunkai smiled and sighed, “Then you Go and get busy! I…can help out in the hall.”
“Help? What help? There are plenty of people here…”
“Are you sure no one saw Harry and the other two riding their dragons? And I don’t want anyone to remember that I came here with someone.”
“What do you mean… Oblivion?”
“Well, I don’t think there are many people here, so it should be in time.”
“I’ll come along!”
“You’re an employee of Gringotts, so don’t get involved.” Lu Yunkai smiled, “I’ll come. I just happened to find out where Umbridge is.”
