Chapter 1327 A deal with different motives

"That should be enough!"

Albert lowered his wand, lowered his head and looked down at the dark wizard who had just been knocked down by him. He took out the Marauder's Map in his pocket and made sure that there were no trapped fish around.

Shelter.

Albert rarely went to the shelter.

If possible, he didn't want to come here to look for trouble at all, nor did he want to deal with those guys who just wanted to survive, because it was pointless. He never liked listening to other people nagging and complaining, and he didn't like to see those guys who didn't have the slightest bit of trouble.

Grateful guy.

However, in order to destroy the last Horcrux, Albert must come over anyway and meet the two goblins hiding here who once worked for Gringotts.

After Bellatrix was thrown into the asylum, he was unsure whether Voldemort would remove the Hufflepuff Gold Cup from the Gringotts vault.

Even though it was unlikely, he needed to be just in case.

Especially after the death of the main line of Strange, will the legacy of the Strange family be inherited by other branches of the Strange family?

There are indeed other branches of the Strange family, but the other branches are not named Strange.

As for whether he had the right to inherit, Albert didn't know, but in order to prevent Hufflepuff's golden cup from disappearing under his nose, he felt that he should take some protective measures to avoid accidents at the last critical moment.

It's not that Albert doesn't trust Harry Potter, who has the aura of the protagonist, but that Voldemort's death is related to the peace of the British wizarding world, his interests, and even subsequent arrangements.

Once all the Horcruxes are not completely destroyed and Voldemort cannot be completely killed, it will become very troublesome.

After all, he is not alone now.

An enemy hiding in the dark is really terrifying, and it will make Albert restless. Therefore, he will never allow any deviation in the plan to kill Voldemort.

All Horcruxes must be destroyed, and Voldemort must die.

If you want to destroy the Horcrux, you must break into the Strange family's treasury to find Hufflepuff's gold cup. Only the goblins working in Gringotts know the location of the Strange family's treasury best.

He really needs the help of the goblin, at least to see him once.

Of course, Albert would not be stupid enough to walk into the asylum openly. That would be too conspicuous, and it would also be easy for possible spies in the asylum to report the news to the Death Eaters.

Albert didn't know whether there were spies planted by Death Eaters in this asylum, but since he had planted spies around Voldemort, he believed that the Death Eaters would definitely try to do the same.

In this shelter where dragons and snakes are mixed, it is not difficult to get a spy: for example, using the Imperius Curse to control a poor Muggle wizard.

As soon as they approached the shelter, a dilapidated high-rise building appeared in front of them out of thin air.

As soon as Albert stepped into the hall, a strange stench hit him, causing him to raise his hands to cover his mouth and nose.

The environment in the shelter is really terrible.

To be honest, this is not too surprising.

The dark wizard outside blocked the door, causing this group of refugees to eat, drink, sleep, and sleep in this miserable place. It would be damning if the environment could be better.

Albert just sighed a little and stopped paying attention. Anyway, it was not his turn to take care of this matter.

In fact, even if he wanted to take care of it, there was nothing he could do, otherwise the Order of the Phoenix would have united them long ago, just like the expelled students in another asylum.

Hannah and her partners have managed the asylum in an orderly manner. Except for a few die-hards, most of the students have joined Dumbledore's Army.

As for here?

Although the Order of the Phoenix did unite a small group of wizards, they only said they supported Harry, but in their hearts they just wanted to find a safe place to hide until the war was over.

I don’t know who revealed to them the “rumor” that the Second Wizarding War would not last long and that Harry Potter would definitely win. But this kind of thing is somewhat willing for Muggle wizards who are escaping reality.

Believe it because they have no choice.

After passing through the noisy floors, automatically blocking out the complaints and curses, Albert walked along the stairs to the eleventh floor of the building.

While walking through the corridor, several wizards were playing wizard chess to pass the time, and the wizards cast curious glances at him.

Albert didn't pay attention and walked straight through the corridor towards the room at the end, where the two goblins temporarily lived.

As soon as he approached the room at the end of the corridor, Albert felt an indiscernible buzzing sound filling his ears. Apparently, someone was using earplugs to listen to the spell to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on their conversation.

It’s actually not hard to guess for people who use ear plugs to listen to mantras here.

Albert raised his hand and tapped his ear lightly to make the annoying buzzing sound disappear. He took out his wand and cast a spell around the corridor to prevent anyone from coming close to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Some things are better not to be known to too many people.

Albert walked to the room with the missing door, raised his hand and tapped on the wall a few times to show... politeness.

However, the people in the room seemed to be aware of his arrival, and they all turned their heads and stared here.

"Good afternoon, Harry."

Albert looked at the two goblins in the room, his eyes fell on Harry disguised as Lupine, and said in a calm tone, "Your outfit is really... special."

"Who are you?"

Harry looked at the stranger in front of him, his mouth wide open in shock.

"Who do you think I am?"

Harry seemed to have thought of something and asked tentatively, "Albert?"

Since Harry can disguise himself as Lupin, others can too.

"It seems that we come here for the same purpose."

Albert nodded towards Harry, then moved his gaze to the goblin who was looking at him carefully and communicating with his companions in rough and harsh goblin language. He smiled and nodded towards them to show that he meant no harm.

"How did you recognize me?" Harry couldn't help but ask.

"Close your earplugs and listen to the spell. Lupin's disguise revealed your identity. It's not that difficult to guess, is it?" Albert explained casually, "Just like you can easily see through my identity."

"That's because you are probably the only person who can call me by my name at a glance." Harry muttered.

"How about it, have you convinced them?"

Albert waved his magic wand, conjured a low stool for himself out of thin air, and sat down opposite the two goblins.

"We don't take sides, this is a wizard's war." The older goblin said to Albert.

"Yes, this is a wizard's war." Albert said noncommittally, "But haven't you been involved in this war and can't get out easily? Otherwise, you don't have to hide here and accept my words.

shelter."

"Your asylum?"

The old goblin with a rough voice looked at Albert with surprise and confusion, as if he couldn't understand what he was talking about for a while.

"It's quite safe here, isn't it?"

Albert raised his hand and pressed it, signaling Harry to stop talking, and then continued: "I think you don't mind providing me with some trivial help. I think mutual benefit is conducive to maintaining the relationship between the two parties."

"What do you want us to help you with?" the young goblin asked first.

"I want to know about the visit to Strange's vault." Albert directly stated the purpose of his visit.

"You all want to rob the Strange Vault?"

The two goblins looked at each other, wondering what attracted them to Strange's vault.

"right."

"You can't take away any wealth from our underground vault that never belonged to you." Gornuk said angrily.

"We are not robbing the vault, but taking an item from there that does not belong to Strange." Harry tried to explain to the two goblins.

"That's robbery."

The goblins thought Harry Potter's remarks were ridiculous.

"Today's Gringotts is no longer controlled by goblins alone, is it?" Albert reminded kindly, "If you are unwilling to surrender to the mysterious man and hand over control of Gringotts, the situation will never be the same.

Much better than the Muggle wizards here, it's not hard to see that from your current situation, isn't it?"

"He is right, Gornuk. I will never admit that the wizard is my master." Another goblin looked at Albert and said, "Although I want to help you, I have not been to that place.

The Strange Vault. But luckily, Gornuk has been there."

"Is there..."

"Shut up Potter, knowing too much won't do them any good." Albert gave Harry a hard look and warned, "You should know what the consequences will be."

Griphook and Gornuk looked at each other, and both fell into a brief silence.

"You have always wanted to get that sword back, haven't you?" Albert said suddenly

"The sword of Gryffindor belongs to the goblins." Griphook did not deny it.

"So, I believe you will not refuse to provide some insignificant help." Albert looked into Griphook's eyes and said softly: "Harry's reward is enough to satisfy you, isn't it."

"It seems you know us very well." Gornuk also realized that they had no better choice if they wanted to get back the sword.

"Dolla Strange's vault is deep inside Gringotts. It is one of the most secure vaults," Gonuk said after a moment of hesitation, "I don't know what you want to take from it, but you want to invade.

Gringotts doesn't have a high success rate, let alone taking anything from the vault."

"You'll help us, won't you?" said Harry.

"There is a semi-domesticated Ukrainian Iron Belly guarding the depths of Gringotts. Any unauthorized personnel approaching the nearby vault will be attacked by it." Gornuk did not answer the words and continued to introduce the two men.

Let’s take a look at the situation in Strange’s vault.

"The items in Dolores Strange's vault are all subject to fire spells and copying spells. Any property that the thieves touch will burn and create a bunch of worthless items to prevent them from stealing items from the vault.

, and even buried them completely and crushed them to death."

"What about the opening method?" Albert suddenly asked.

"It is impossible for me to tell you all the information." Gornuk shook his head and said, "When you hand over the Sword of Gryffindor to us, we will continue to provide you with help."

"It's not enough to just reveal this information." Harry said to the two goblins, "I hope to get your help at that time."

"We'll help you, it's a fair deal."

"When will it start?" Griphook suddenly asked.

"The time has not yet been determined, but I believe that this day will not be too far away." Harry looked at Albert, as if he wanted to get some hints from him.

"last question."

Albert ignored Harry's gaze and continued to ask, "If the main line of the Strange family dies, who will inherit their wealth."

"This usually requires recognition from the Ministry of Magic before being allowed to inherit wealth, but this is rare." Griphook replied.

"Are all the Strangers dead?" Harry asked.

"Bellatrix, the last mistress of Strange's house, has been missing for some time." Albert moved his eyes away and stood up from the chair, waved his wand, made the low stool disappear, and then pretended to prepare.

left.

This time you came to the right place.

Just a few minutes ago, Albert successfully obtained the required information from Griphook's mind.

The key to opening Strange's vault lies in an old goblin named Bogrod, and Albert has also confirmed where Bogrod lives.

In a few days, he will personally visit Bogrod and obtain his help.
