Deep underground, after altering the sprite's memories, Elwyn recalled the rumours Bill had told him about Zuo Sai.
If he could prove those crimes, he would spend the rest of his life in prison. Naturally, he would not come looking for trouble.
If he wanted to do it, he had to do it thoroughly. Although Elwyn could not kill him directly, it was not a bad idea to let him stay in the wizard prison.
Elwyn did not know what kind of monster the Egyptian wizards used to guard the prison, but it would not be pleasant.
As for how to get Zuo Sai to confess, it was not as complicated as Lavier had thought. Truth Serum and Soul Snatching Curse would do.
Sometimes, the simple method was more effective. Black magic could make many things much easier.
This process might not be legal, but as long as Elwyn was careful and erased all traces of magic afterward, no one would find out.
Moreover, he was fighting back in self-defense. It was Zuo Sai who attacked him first.
If she could regret, Zuo Sai would never have attacked Iven again, nor would she have followed him into the depths of the earth alone.
"Tell me all the things you've done that violated the law in the past," Elwyn ordered.
"Yes, the most recent one was a month ago …" Zuo Sai said in a sluggish voice, confessing all the crimes he had committed.
Listening to the other party recount the shocking crimes he had committed, Ivan almost couldn't help but cast a killing curse on him.
"What an unforgivable crime!"
This sprite's actions were far beyond Elwyn's imagination, and also beyond the rumours he had heard from Bill.
Apart from being the person in charge of Egypt's Gringotts and the chief curse dispeller, Zuo Sai had many other identities.
He was the largest illegal reseller of relics in Egypt, and even in North Africa and Southern Europe. For the past few decades, he had been robbing pyramids, tombs, and ancient ruins. He had dealings with all kinds of dark wizards, selling the excavated items to them.
What surprised Elwyn was that Lucius Malfoy was actually his partner.
They had a lot of dealings in reselling ancient Egyptian artifacts, and Lucius also helped him gain more benefits and status at the headquarters of Gringotts in the UK. That was how he became one of the people in charge of Egypt's Gringotts.
To the fairies, those powerful magic items were worthless. What they needed was gold and wealth.
If he was interested in anything else, it would be the weapons forged by other fairies.
Of course, if someone could afford it, the fairies wouldn't mind selling these weapons to them.
The Malfoy Family obviously had this kind of power. They were probably one of the wealthiest pure-blood Sorcerer Families in the magic world.
Elwyn had heard Malfoy bragging about his family's wealth more than once. They even had a manor in Romania dedicated to raising dragons as pets. This was not something a normal wizard could afford. It was enough to show how extravagant and wealthy his family was.
Another thing that concerned Elwyn was that not long ago, at the request of Lucius Malfoy, Zuo Sai had sold all the ancient magic items he had unearthed to him in exchange for a lot of gold.
Elwyn remembered that Keresis had once told him that Lord Voldemort had sent vampires to search for ancient magic relics all over the world.
Obviously, these things were what Lord Voldemort needed. He wanted to find information about evil gods from them.
Elwyn pondered for a while. What did Lord Voldemort want?!
Things had come back to Lord Voldemort, who was Elwyn's biggest enemy at the moment.
As for the evil gods, demons, and the Titans, the Final Battle, the Cataclysm, and so on, they were still far from Elwyn …
"Alright, take me to your personal vault." Elwyn interrupted Zuo Sai, who was still recounting his crimes.
He was no longer interested in listening to this seductress. Those things should be left to the Auror.
Anyway, from what he knew so far, Zuo Sai would definitely stay in prison for the rest of her life.
Under Elwyn's control, the two of them left the stone room where the Jadeite Record was stored, got on a small cart, and went deeper underground.
In front of them was a narrow tunnel, and the vault was at the end.
Elwyn blinked. He actually saw a very strange monster at the end of the tunnel.
He had only seen a picture of it in The Hobgoblin Book of Hobgoblins. It was a Sphinx.
Its body was like a frighteningly large lion, with huge claws, a long yellow tail, and a tuft of hair at the tip. However, it had the head of a woman.
When Elwyn and Zuo Sai walked over, she turned her long almond-shaped eyes to them.
Elwyn raised his wand, hesitating whether to go over or not. This creature must have seen that he was using Soul Snatch to control Zuo Sai.
The Sphinx was a very troublesome monster. Its strength was similar to the fire dragon and the man-headed lion scorpion-tailed beast, but it was more difficult to deal with.
Because it had extremely high intelligence, it would not attack recklessly.
Elwyn might be able to defeat it, but it would definitely attract the attention of the Gringotts sprites.
At that time, how should he explain this matter to the sprites? Even if he told them everything, the sprites would certainly not stand on his side.
They would not care what Zuo Sai had done. The sprites were naturally very disgusted with human wizards.
Elwyn carefully looked at the Sphinx. The development of the plot was about to become him fighting all the sprites of Gringotts, and then fleeing in panic. At that time, he was afraid that he would be wanted by the entire magic world.
Without sufficient evidence, no one would believe what Elwyn said.
In front of Elwyn, the Sphinx did not crouch down and prepare to pounce, but just walked back and forth to block his way.
Then she spoke, her voice low and hoarse.
"Hello, stranger, this is the best Soul Snatch spell I've ever seen."
"Thank you!" Elwyn looked at her, not putting down his wand. This Sphinx did not seem to be on the same side as the sprites.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this. I've been imprisoned here by the sprites, guarding their wealth for a long time." The Sphinx said, raising her head towards the direction of her footsteps.
Elwyn saw the heavy shackles on her hind legs, and the thick chains on them were connected to huge stakes driven deep into the stone ground.
The sprites had the habit of using monsters to guard important vaults. The sprites of England's Gringotts used fire dragons. This Sphinx was very Egyptian. Elwyn was glad that he met a watchman who could communicate with him.
"Do you need my help to unlock these shackles?" said Elwyn, waving the wand in his hand.
