"Oh? Do you think fairies are still far from extinction now..."
Elena twisted her fingers around her hair and looked at the goblin who had invested in "The Monster from Corsica" with a joking look on her face.
From the first moment she saw Leos' resume, she knew that this thirteenth elder of the Fairy Presbyterian Church could never become a servant who was loyal to someone wholeheartedly. Leos was loyal to only one object: the purest interests.
In other words, the Fairy Code.
There is no doubt that he is a real monster.
"Whether it becomes extinct or not in the short term depends solely on your thoughts."
Facing Elena's gaze, Leos shook his head calmly.
"It's impossible for goblins to control the coinage of the magical world forever. I agree with you."
"This is not the power that modern goblins should hold. A long time ago, we old guys have seen the disaster hidden in the coinage power, and also understood the fear of wizards. Although human wizards look stupid and slow, their greedy eyes have never stopped.
If gold is not removed, war may start at any time. But there is no way, wealth is the original sin, and this is an existence that cannot be eliminated."
The old goblin paused for a few seconds, glanced at Elena with cloudy eyes, and sighed softly.
"So, when I saw your plan and helped Douglas escape from Gringotts, I was very scared..."
"This is not an accident. This is a sign before the 'final prologue' of Gringotts Goblins. For Gringotts Goblins, if they do not have the strength to defeat wizards and cannot control their own wealth, they are like livestock in captivity. The weak will eat the strong.
It’s the truth of the world…”
"Are you a beast?" Elena's voice suddenly interrupted him.
Leos didn't react for a moment, "What?"
"The weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive. This is Darwin's law that only applies to natural barbaric evolution."
"If the distribution of all resources and wealth all depends on the strength of an individual, then there is no big difference between wizards and goblins in civilized society and beasts in the jungle that drink blood from raw hair." Elena shook her head, "Capital and wealth are
The truth is not gold, it is more powerful, more charming, the invisible hands that control the flow of the world. You just haven't found the hands that really belong to the goblin..."
Leos frowned: "I... don't quite understand. If you can't protect your personal property, then what's the point of handling more wealth? For example, the global accounting rights you wrote in your future plan, it
Can we earn the benefits that coinage can bring?”
"You will soon understand that 'making money' is not the entire evaluation criterion for measuring capital, or even the most important one."
Elena chuckled lightly, with a trace of joyful cruelty in her eyes, and raised her finger and whispered softly.
"Magical Congress of the United States of America has paid the first deposit. They announced that they will not interfere with the 'goblin internal audit and personnel transfer issues.' The last piece of Gringotts' puzzle is in place. After today's meeting is over, you can lead the audit team, internal affairs
The team went to the United States to hand over the work."
"The handover of Gringotts Wizarding Bank of America?"
Leos was stunned for half a second, then frowned heavily, "Even without the support of wizards, the goblin forces over there..."
"The subject of the transfer of 'coin rights' between us and the International Federation of Wizards is 'Gringotts Wizarding Bank'. If some goblin clerks are inconsistent with 'Gringotts Wizarding Bank' in terms of social value and economic value, then they are extremely likely to
There may be suspicions of corruption, anti-socialism, splitting the goblin society, etc. Since some gentlemen of the SCP Foundation are receiving double wages, they should do something."
"The right to mint money belongs to the common power of wizards. We are one of the regulatory maintainers and... the owner of the Guards."
Elena said casually, looking around at the senior elf leaders in the underground meeting hall.
"This is just the beginning. Global accounting rights means that a series of benefits such as auditing, taxation, and savings are transferred to the wizarding world in various countries. If the Gringotts Tax Bureau in the US Wizarding World discovers that a wizard family has evaded taxes, what do you think... come to collect them?
Tax, is it the Goblin Commissioner who is communicating? The Goblin Guard? The wizarding employees of Gringotts? Or is it all the people whose wealth was 'stolen' on the books?"
"However, there is a fatal problem: unless the individual goblin does not hold assets, otherwise..."
Leos shook his head and keenly pointed out the flaws in Elena's blueprint.
"so"
Elena laughed, with a playful look on her face.
"Fairy, why do you need gold Galleons? Do fairies really have any wealth to lose?"
"Gringotts Wizarding Bank is still the physical place where currency is stored, measured, and circulated in the wizarding world. We just recorded the accounts that should be regarded as liabilities on the heads of the wizarding governments of various countries and the International Federation of Wizards from the beginning.
It’s not the stuff of fairies.”
"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 exploded at the tip of Elena's finger.
In an instant, it devoured her handiwork.
"The fairies will only lose their shackles, but what we will gain is the whole world."
Leos suddenly remembered the "outside and inside" structure of the SCP Foundation that Elena had specially divided before.
Of course, in addition to this, there is also the "Internal Revenue Service" business that is being linked to the British Ministry of Magic, as well as the tax pilot for the increasingly prosperous magic market based on the welfare plan of the Ministry of Magic's increasingly large civil service system...
As the dust fell after the flames burned out, a terrifying world that had never been imagined quickly unfolded before Leos' eyes.
As one of the few high-level advisors to Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Leos is well aware of the process of the magic industry.
Several centuries ago, due to the emergence of the International Statute of Secrecy of the International Confederation of Wizards, the British wizarding world did not enter the capitalist world along with the first industrial revolution of the British non-magical community, and the Goblin Queen obviously planned to turn the goblins into shackles.
Make up for the regrets of those gentlemen.
"Then, I have one last question..."
Leos pondered for a moment, stroking the cane with his dry, wrinkled hands, and his voice was very, very soft.
"What if...I mean...what if...the wizards want to break free from their shackles one day and set foot in that new world?"
"The standard answer is: Then the goblin will lose another shackles"
Elena replied without thinking, and then, a meaningful smile appeared.
"But what you should ask is"
"If one day, wizards plan to break free from their shackles, who will initiate it..."
