Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

"Oh? Do you think the goblin is still far from extinction..."

Elena put her fingers around her hair and looked at the goblin who had invested in the "monster from Corsica" with a playful look.

From the first moment she saw Leos’ resume, she knew that this fairy elder of the thirteen elders could never become a servant who was wholeheartedly loyal to someone—there was only one object of Leos’ allegiance: the purest Benefit, or rather, the demon's precision.

There is no doubt that he is a real fairy.

"Whether it is extinct or not, in the short term depends only on your thoughts."

Facing Elena's gaze, Leos shook his head calmly.

"The fairy can't always hold the coinage in the magical world, I agree with you."

"This is not the power that modern elves should hold. Long ago, we old guys saw the evil hidden in the coinage, and understood the shamans’ fears. Although human wizards looked stupid and dull, their greedy eyes followed If it is not removed from the gold, war may be launched at any time. But there is no way. Wealth is the original sin, and it is an existence that cannot be eliminated."

The old goblin paused for a few seconds, glanced at Elena with muddy eyes, and said softly with emotion.

"So, when I saw your plan and helped Douglas escape from Gringotts, I was very scared..."

"This is not accidental. This is a sign before the arrival of the Gringotts goblin's final prologue. For the Gringotts goblin, without the strength to defeat the wizard, its own strength cannot control its own wealth, it is like a captive livestock. The weak eat this. It is the truth of the world..."

"Are you a beast?" Elena's voice suddenly interrupted him.

Leos didn't react at once, "What?"

"The weak will feed on the strong and the survival of the fittest will survive the survival of the fittest. This is Darwin's law that only applies to natural and barbaric evolution."

"If the way all resources and wealth are distributed depends on the level of individual strength, then there is not much difference between the wizards and goblins of a civilized society and the wild beasts in the jungle," Elena shook her head, "Capital and wealth The truth is not gold, it is a stronger, more charming, invisible hand that manipulates the flow of the world to those invisible hands-you just haven't found the hands that truly belong to the goblins..."

Leos frowned: "I... don't understand. If you can't protect your personal property, then what is the point of handling more wealth? For example, the global accounting rights you wrote in your future plans. Can you earn the benefits of coinage?"

"You will soon understand that'making money' is not the entire evaluation criterion for measuring capital, not even the most important one."

Elena chuckled slightly, her eyes flashed with a hint of cruel pleasure, she put her fingers up and said softly.

"The Magic Congress of the United States paid the first deposit. They announced that they would not interfere with the'fairy internal audit and personnel transfer issues'. Gringotts has the last piece of the puzzle in place. After today's meeting is over, you can lead the audit team and internal affairs. The team went to the United States for work handover."

"The handover of the American Gringotts Wizarding Bank?"

Leos froze for half a second, then frowned heavily, "Even without the support of the wizard, the goblin power over there..."

"The main body that we signed the transfer of the'minting rights' with the International Wizarding Federation is the'Gringotts Wizarding Bank'. If some fairy clerks are inconsistent with the'Gringotts Wizarding Bank' in terms of social value and economic value, then they are extremely There may be various suspicions of corruption, anti-social, and split goblin society-since some of the SCP Foundation's gentlemen have received double wages, they should also do something."

"The right of coinage belongs to the common power of wizards. We are one of the guardians of the supervision and... the management of the guards."

Elena said nonchalantly, looking around the senior goblin leaders in the underground conference hall.

"This is just the beginning. The global right to bookkeeping means that a series of income from auditing, taxation, savings, etc. have been transferred to the magical world of various countries. If the Gringotts tax bureau in the magical world in the United States discovers that a wizard family is evading taxes, do you think... Taxes and communication are the goblin commissioners? The goblin guards? Gringotts wizard employees? Or—what about all the people whose wealth was “stolen” on the books?"

"However, there is a fatal problem in this: unless the individual fairy does not hold assets, otherwise..."

Leos shook his head, keenly pointed out the flaws in Elena's blueprint.

"so--"

Elena laughed, with a playful look on her face.

"Fairy, why do you need Jin Jialong? Is there any wealth that a fairy can lose?"

"The Gringotts Wizarding Bank is still a physical place for the storage, measurement, and circulation of currency in the magical world. We just record the accounts that should be regarded as liabilities on the heads of the magic governments of various countries and the International Federation of Wizards. It wasn't a fairy thing from the beginning."

"If you want to know what we will lose and what we can gain, then I can only tell you..."

boom!

A ball of flame burst at the tips of Elena's fingers ~www.readwn.com~ in an instant, swallowing the parchment document in her hand.

"What the fairy loses is only the shackles, and what we gain is the whole world—"

Leos suddenly remembered the structure of the SCP Foundation that Elena deliberately divided the "outer and inner" SCP Foundation.

Of course, in addition to this, there are also the "InternalRevenueService" business that is being connected with the British Ministry of Magic one by one, as well as the welfare plan for the Ministry of Magic's growing civil service system, and the taxation pilot of the booming magic market...

As the dust fell after the flames burned out, a terrible world that had never been imagined unfolded rapidly in front of Leos.

As one of the few high-level consultants of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Leos is well aware of the progress of the magic industry.

A few centuries ago, due to the "International Wizarding Federation Secrecy Act", the British magical world did not enter the capitalist world with the first industrial revolution of the British non-magic world, and the fairy queen apparently intended to turn the fairy into a shackle. Make up for the regrets of those gentlemen.

"Then, I have one last question..."

Leos groaned for a moment, rubbing the cane with his dry, wrinkled hands, his voice was very, very soft.

"If you say... I mean if... the wizards someday also want to break free from the shackles and set foot in that new world?"

"The standard answer is: then the goblin will lose another shackle—"

Elena replied without thinking, and then, a meaningful smile appeared.

"However, what you should ask is—"

"If one day, the wizards intend to break free from the shackles, who will initiate..."
