After Harry left the asylum, Albert, who was hidden under the Disillusionment Curse, quietly returned and used the spell to silently control Griphook and Gornuk, who were discussing the matter in Elvish.
"As expected, they are all the same."
Albert knew better than anyone how difficult it was to get the goblins to betray and help them steal the contents of Gringotts' vault.
Harry gave the Sword of Gryffindor as a reward, which was indeed significant enough.
But the goblins didn't expect them to keep their promise, but they still wanted to get the Sword of Gryffindor.
Their thoughts couldn't be hidden from Albert, who had a very high level of Legilimency skills.
From the beginning, Albert did not place his hopes on the goblin's reputation.
He's not that stupid.
Even the goblins distrust them.
Therefore, you have to follow your own plan, which is undoubtedly more reliable.
Although he does sound a bit smart, most of the time he still prefers to believe in his own wisdom and judgment.
This is a common problem among most geniuses.
Although Albert was a fake, fake geniuses were also geniuses.
Albert's confidence comes from his strength.
Use Legilimency again to dig out more useful information from the goblin's mind.
For example, after the old goblin Bogrod became the key to opening Strange's vault, Albert felt the limits of Legilimency, or the limits of goblins, for the first time.
The Goblin's Brain is not a book and cannot be read at will.
Once he strengthens Legilimency, it will cause irreversible damage to the goblin's brain.
Considering that there was no deep hatred between the two parties, and that the goblins in front of him would be of great use to Harry in invading Gringotts, Albert stopped before Legilimency could affect the brains of the two goblins, and prepared to use other methods to collect the required information.
Looking at the two goblins in front of him, Albert felt that Harry should thank himself, otherwise he would have to scheming with the goblins before searching for the Horcrux, which would be troublesome.
After helping Harry deal with the two goblins, Albert planned to visit the old goblin Bogrod without stopping.
That guy moved back to the ruins of the former Fairy Kingdom a few months ago.
This is due to the first rise of Voldemort. The goblins who suffered heavy losses learned their lesson and established a temporary goblin village near the ruins of the goblin kingdom thousands of years ago.
After Voldemort announced his return, many goblins moved their families deep underground to avoid being left alone outside and being mercilessly massacred by Death Eaters.
In fact, something similar had already happened shortly after Voldemort returned.
Ludo Bagman, who was recruited due to the lack of Death Eaters, in order to retaliate against the goblins who collected debts, intimidated, harassed and harmed him day and night, he teamed up with other dark wizards to kill and robbed several lone goblin families.
The harvest of exquisite fairy silverware drove the poor dark wizards almost crazy.
It’s not without reason that goblins are targeted.
Although the probability is low, goblin silverware is very valuable.
After apparating and arriving near the entrance to the kingdom beneath the goblins, Albert felt the cold rain falling from above his head as soon as he regained his vision.
He raised his wand and transformed into an umbrella to block the rain, then walked towards the expected target.
It is said that this place was once one of the entrances to the Fairy Kingdom. Now the ruins at the entrance have been completely weathered and no trace remains. Ordinary wizards may not even be able to find the entrance.
If I hadn't peeked into Gornuk's memory, I wouldn't be here.
Albert found the entrance without any obstacles. Inside was a completely deserted ruin, with some surprising things around him.
Some fluorescent moss.
The magical world always brings surprises to people.
After Albert used magic to collect some fluorescent moss, he continued to explore the cave.
This place has been completely abandoned, leaving only an abandoned cave that was mined.
However, Albert found a large area of gray mushrooms of no apparent species in a place that looked like a mushroom field.
According to records, the food of goblins is meat, roots and various fungi.
After Albert collected some more mushroom samples, he continued walking deeper into the cave until...
Looking at the abyss in front of him, Albert felt his scalp numb.
And, not only that, he could feel the traces of magic left around him.
He didn't know whether the magic would still be effective, but directly invading the fairies' former kingdom below was not an option.
"I got a little carried away!" Albert looked at the abyss in front of him and laughed at himself, "When did I become so arrogant!"
The abyss in front of him is not a problem, he can just push all the way, but the problem is that he is not the Dark Lord. If he breaks in, there is a chance that he will alert other goblins, and the maze underneath is enough to make him miserable, so it is not cost-effective.
There is obviously a better solution to this matter.
Albert plans to ask a goblin to help him go to the goblin gathering place.
There is a more convenient way, take a trolley directly from Gringotts.
However, since the Death Eaters took control of Gringotts, it has been under strict surveillance. Otherwise, using Plan 2 to directly go to Gringotts to control Bogrord would be a good option.
The only problem is that he must control the other party quietly, and he cannot be suspected and lose his position and authority in Gringotts, otherwise everything will become meaningless.
Between going deeper and using Plan 2, Albert chose Plan 3 and asked a Death Eater to help him do it.
Anyway, it seems that nothing the Death Eaters do is surprising.
As for who to choose to take the blame, Albert has already made his choice.
His old friend Ludo Bagman.
With the grudge between Ludo Bagman and the goblins, it is not surprising that he would do something outrageous.
Who makes Ludo Bagman poor?
Many dark wizards want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
Through crystal ball divination, Albert easily found the whereabouts of Ludo Bagman, who was selling stolen goods in the Hog's Head Bar in Hogsmeade.
It's not difficult to change his disguise and sneak into Hogsmeade quietly.
There are many dark wizards here, it doesn't matter if you are a Muggle wizard or not.
The only problem is that you may encounter dementors.
Yaxley used dementors as hunting dogs. Once dark wizards caused trouble in Hogsmeade, the Death Eaters would release the dementors to cause trouble for those dark wizards.
Dementors can easily see through disguises. Regardless of whether they use transformation spells or compound potions, he believes that once they encounter dementors, those terrifying monsters will definitely recognize him.
When the time comes, he will definitely be besieged.
Although Albert was not worried about this, he did not want to cause a commotion or cause unnecessary trouble. Because in his plan, the people who caused trouble for the Death Eaters were the dark wizards who came here to trade.
It is normal for dark wizards to have conflicts over certain things, and it would not be surprising even if someone dies as a result.
After all, black magic is dangerous.
"It seems I need some luck."
Albert muttered and threw a Felixir into his mouth. Under the watchful eyes of the house elves, he disguised himself as a dark wizard and prepared to go to Hogsmeade.
