Chapter 272 Gringotts Authorization



When Wentworth said this, not only the goblin elder was stunned, but even Rosier, Auston and others beside him were confused. But then, Rosier seemed to have thought of something, and for the first time today, he reached into his arms and clenched his wand.

The Goblin Elder's expression gradually turned gloomy after his initial confusion. He looked at Wentworth and said slowly, "I don't know, heir of the Grindelwald family, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to frame us at Gringotts? If so, the worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed!"

Hearing the threat from the goblin elder, Wentworth chuckled, but responded calmly:

"Great Elder, you know what I mean, don't you?"

The atmosphere in the hall of Gringotts suddenly became tense again.

The goblin elder was silent for a moment, but finally shook his head slowly and said word by word: "Mr. Grindelwald, you don't have to use such absurd excuses. If you are still dissatisfied, we at Gringotts are willing to pay a certain price. If someone must be held responsible for what happened today, then as the chief elder of Gringotts in London, I have no choice but to do it!"

"But we definitely did not imprison anyone else in your Witch Party. What do you think, Mr. Grindelwald?"

Hearing the response from the goblin elder, Wentworth stared into its eyes. After a long time, Wentworth smiled with relief and said:

"Really? Then it seems that I remembered it wrong! Oh, by the way, I remember that in the history of magic, the International Confederation of Wizards and the representatives of you goblins signed an additional authorization letter after signing the armistice agreement. It authorized the goblins to establish the only bank in the wizarding world."

Having said this, Wentworth paused, and seeing the goblin elder's face gradually changing, Wentworth's mouth curled up slightly, and continued:

"It is said that there is a copy of the authorization letter in every Gringotts in the world. However, the original copy of the authorization letter has been kept in Gringotts in London! I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see it today?"

As soon as Wentworth finished speaking, the goblin next to the goblin elder stood up, pointed at Wentworth and said loudly: "You are declaring war on us goblins! Aren't you afraid of provoking a new war between goblins and humans?!"

Hearing the goblin's question, Wentworth waved his hand and said casually:

“Don’t be afraid!”

The goblin was obviously choked by Wentworth's answer and didn't react for a long time.

Then, Wentworth looked at the goblin and said in a kind tone: "When you declare war on humans this time, you must persist a little longer! Oh, by the way, if you feel that you don't have enough manpower when attacking the Ministry of Magic of various countries or the International Confederation of Wizards, you can notify me. We, the Wizarding Party, will be happy to help!"

"We in the Wu Cui Party are very happy to do this kind of thing, so no need to thank me!"

Hearing Wentworth's answer, the wizards of the Witch Party all laughed. Threatening the Witch Party with war? We accept your threat and are willing to give you another push! At this time, the goblin elder suddenly said: "Change the conditions. You know, Gringotts has accumulated a lot of wealth over thousands of years, which you human wizards think..."

However, before the goblin elder could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wentworth. Wentworth shook his head gently and said, "No, that's it. I like this kind of historical testimony!"

Faced with Wentworth's insistence, the young goblin gritted his teeth and said, "This is impossible!"

But the goblin elder fell into silence. After a long while, he began to give orders:

The young goblin opened his eyes wide, looking at the goblin elder in front of him in disbelief, until the goblin elder urged him again, and then he walked towards the basement of Gringotts, looking back every step of the way.

The young goblin returned to the secret room under Gringotts and told the other goblin elders sitting at the stone table everything that had happened in the hall of Gringotts. At the end, the young goblin roared:

"Gringotts is the only pride of us goblins in the wizarding world. Without that letter of authorization, we will no longer be the only bank in the wizarding world. The Wizarding Party is trying to uproot us goblins!"

However, facing the roar of the young goblin, those figures sitting in front of the stone table fell silent together. This made the young goblin look at the elders in front of him in disbelief, as if he didn't understand what the other party was still hesitating about.

After a long while, a sigh was heard in the room, and someone slowly said, "No, you are wrong. With the current scale of Gringotts, even without the authorization letter, we will still be the only bank in the wizarding world, and no one can challenge our position."

Then, another goblin elder also echoed:

"Yes, humans are suspicious. Even the International Confederation of Wizards finds it difficult to convince all human wizards! What really makes Gringotts the only bank in the wizarding world is not the letter of authorization, but the reputation that Gringotts has accumulated over the past thousand years!"

At this time, in the hall of Gringotts, Wentworth and the goblin elder were sitting face to face. Wentworth poured a cup of Gringotts tea for the goblin elder, and then said slowly:

"Great Elder, I'll ask you one last time. Is it true that Gringotts has no other members of our Witch Party imprisoned? Or, are there any members of our Witch Party who are loyal to us?"

Hearing Wentworth's question, the goblin elder picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip, and responded calmly: "No!"

Wentworth smiled noncommittally, looked meaningfully at the goblin chief in front of him, and said nothing more.

After waiting for a while, the goblin who had left earlier came back slowly with a wooden box in his hand and stood beside the goblin elder.

Afterwards, the goblin elder took out a piece of animal skin inlaid with golden stripes from the wooden box. It was unknown what kind of magical animal this skin was made of. As soon as it was taken out, the temperature in the entire Gringotts hall seemed to rise by several degrees.

The goblin elder placed the animal skin in front of Wentworth and gestured with his hand, and Wentworth took out his wand very decisively.

"The flames are blazing!"

The goblin chief elder grabbed the young goblin who was about to run away. At this time, several magic wands around him were aimed at the foreheads of the two goblins.

However, as the flames gradually dissipated, the animal skin still lay there quietly, seemingly intact.
