Although there were some sorcerers who came over today and took away all the wealth stored in Gringotts, these customers weren't from any big families and the amount wasn't huge. Although the greedy goblins felt a little heartache, they didn't take it too seriously. But now, they finally realized that something wasn't right.
Nagenoch quietly looked at Sirius Blake, who had stored the most wealth in this group of people. However, Sirius did not seem to care at all. Unable to judge, the goblin asked suspiciously again, "Director Harris, Director Dirk Clysway, may I know what business you are here for? I will arrange for the relevant colleagues to connect with you and provide you with more convenient services."
"Uh … Nagenoch, we are here today to collect some gold coins …" A male wizard in his mid-thirties tried to use a gentle and understated tone to smile at the goblin, appearing to be very amiable.
This male wizard with brown hair and light skin was Dirk Clysway. After the former director of the Goblin Liaison Office, Cuthbert Mockridge, was implicated in a political struggle, he took over the position because he was closer to Mr. Weasley and leaned towards Harris. This department had a higher status in the department, and the director of the office was also highly respected. Although Dirk Clysway was also a Muggle, he was one of the favorite students of the potions teacher Horace Slughorn when he was in school. Many of his colleagues, including Arthur Weasley, thought that he was an excellent wizard.
Tab Ring's intelligent, greyish-yellow face changed slightly. However, this was a legitimate business transaction and he had no reason to reject it. He couldn't maintain the smile on his face, waiting for Black Eye to probe. "Dirk, is there any big investment from the Ministry of Magic? There's a lot of customers coming to Gringotts today for this business."
"Dirk, you can come down and try to appease the goblins. Now let's hurry up …" Sirius Black put his hands in his pockets impatiently. "Nagenoch, we are all here to collect money."
"Alright, tab, you don't have to worry about what we're going to do with the money, Gringotte. If you're curious, you can come down and contact Dirk in private." Josephine still had a smile on her face as she walked through the door. "Nagenok, please make the arrangements. We still have to go to the floating city after we're done …"
The office manager of the Fairy Liaison Office glanced at Tab apologetically before following his colleagues into the bank.
Nagnock hurriedly jogged a few steps forward and said to Sirius eagerly, "Mr. Blake, with your status, why do you need to come here personally to withdraw the money? You can just get the owl to send a letter with your mark and we can send it to you …"
"But this time, I want to take away all the assets of the Blake family …" Sirius said briskly. "So I have to come here personally. Otherwise, you won't agree, right?"
"Take away all of them?" Tab's voice was a little sharp as his expression froze on his face.
Nagenok glanced at Josephine who was at the front. Remembering that she was also a Harris, he clenched his slender fingers together. This must be Harris' revenge on them for rejecting Lunn's request, causing so many people to come to Gringotte at the same time to take away the wealth.
Thinking that so many gold coins and treasures of the Blake family were about to be taken away, the Fairy, who was in so much pain, could barely breathe. Nagenok forced a smile as he gritted his teeth and endured the pain in his heart. He stopped Tab who was about to speak. "Mr. Blake, Gringotte is the safest place in the world … You don't have to worry about your safety here. Ever since we opened for business, Gringotte has been keeping the assets of the Blake family safe …"
"I'm very grateful for that …" Sirius's dark gray eyes glanced coldly at the Fairy. Knowing the Fairy's habits, he naturally understood that the bank manager in front of him had already regarded the assets of the Blake family as the Fairy's wealth. "So now, I don't need to trouble you anymore. I've decided that in addition to withdrawing the money, I'll also cancel my personal vault number 711 and the family vault of the Blake family. I will no longer store any assets in Gringotte."
"The pure silver sword of the Fairy King, Legnak the First! You loser … Mr. Blake, are you telling me … that you're giving up the vault of the Blake family since ancient times?!! " After Nagenok thought of the significance of Sirius's decision, he couldn't help but beat his chest with his fist. "Mr. Blake! Please think carefully. A vault like this … If you regret it in the future … Even if you want to open a new account, you won't be able to deposit it … This isn't a vault that can be obtained with money! This is the glory that your ancestors have earned for your family! "
"Bullsh * t glory …" Sirius snorted. He lowered his head and looked at the Fairy with contempt. "If you say any more, I'll bring my godson over and ask him to forfeit the Potter family's vault too …"
Tab and Nagenoch's faces contorted. They didn't care about the Potter family's vault, which had the lowest level of security and could be accessed with a single key. What they cared about was the oldest family in Britain, the Black family.
However, the members of the Magical Creatures Management Department ignored the Fairies at the door and followed their director, Josephine, into the tall marble hall. About a hundred Fairies sat on high stools behind a row of long counters. Some were using copper scales to weigh coins, while others were using eyeglasses to examine gems. They were jotting down records in large ledgers. There were countless doors in the hall that led to different places. Many Fairies guided people through these doors.
Seeing the crowded hall, the Fairies who didn't know what was going on put down what they were doing and hurried over to guide the Fairies.
Just as Pull Ring and Nagenok chased after Josephine and the rest, a Gringotts Magus employee ran in from outside. This short man nimbly squeezed through the crowd and ran to the president's side. He whispered, "President, there are more Magi coming from the Broken Cauldron Bar. The Magic Sports Department is here!"
Nagenoch felt his cheeks stiffen. He could no longer squeeze out a fake smile. Feeling something was wrong, he turned around and saw a familiar face. He hurriedly grabbed the blond adept's clothes and asked, "Mister Ludo Bagman! What kind of business are you here for?! "
"Long time no see, Nagenok. I'm here for a withdrawal business. I want to withdraw all of Bargman's wealth and close the account …" John Bartha ran his fingers through his hair and said enthusiastically with his customary diplomatic smile, "Please arrange it for us as soon as possible. Other than my current colleagues in the department, my former teammates from the Wimbledon Hornets should be here soon … We're all here for the same business."
"What …" Pull Ring's eyes bulged out more than three times the size of Luna's. "Are you all crazy? Are you trying to please Harris by leaving your money at home for a thief to steal? "
"Pull Ring, don't worry … I remember you have a Wizard TV in the lounge. Turn on the TV and watch the live broadcast. You'll know what's going on …" Ludo Bargman looked at the panicking Sprites and smiled with a hint of revenge. "Don't worry about overtime. The Ministry of Magic has already divided the time slots according to the department. We're just the first batch …"
Nagenok and Pull Ring were eager to know what was going on. They ignored the director of the Magical Sports Department and ordered the other Sprite managers to take care of the Wizards. They hurried to the lounge and turned on the TV. They knew the reason for Ludo Bargman's attitude. Before the 1995 World Cup, Ludo Bargman had lost many bets with the Sprites and owed them a lot of money. He almost ran away because of Harris' financial support.
On the TV, the host Hibiscus Chinensis was excitedly and proudly introducing a building on the Floating City.
The camera panned to the Floating City of Hogwarts. It was a very famous commercial square in the Floating City of Hogwarts. After the black curtains were pulled open by magic, its true magnificence became clear. All the Sprites who were watching the show gasped.
The building had a really eye-catching silhouette. The building was surrounded by a ruler, compass, crossed hands, and a triangle. It was to imitate the shape of Family Harris's Imprint of Omniscience. The bronze windows on the dark blue exterior were narrow to prevent the scorching sun from shining through. The glass skylight at the top let in natural light. The lines of the building and the colors of the Ravenclaw Academy made it look like the stripes on a raven.
The reason why the fairies were surprised was because of the bronze signboard of the new building that was shown on the TV — Wizard Harris Bank.
