Archdruid of Hogwarts

Dumbledore was a little worried that Ernie's use of his money-making skills would spread a wind of corruption in the wizarding world.

But it seems to Ernie that the atmosphere in the wizarding world has long been corrupted.

Just like when he was in school in his previous life, his mother scolded him when he went to bars and played video games: "You can't learn these tricks without a teacher!"

He felt that the same was true for wizards. Wizards avoided the world not because they were white lotuses who lived in poverty and enjoyed their lives.

What's more, to put it bluntly, you haven't enjoyed the blessings of being born in this world, so why are you pretending to be born?

Can you hide in the mountains and forests? Can you hide from human nature? He didn't believe it.

Of course, the wizarding world is full of shit, and he can really play as divided as possible.

What's on campus is a fairy tale, what's in society is a reality.

Although doing this is suspected of being an ostrich, it can not only harvest emotional currency, but also make up for the campus regrets of the previous life. Why can't we be confused for a while?

Dumbledore obviously didn't want to discuss this social topic with Ernie anymore.

It's useless to talk, just to make him unhappy, what's the point of talking to him?

Going a step further, the pungent smell of copper makes a person feel sick, but he himself also carries this smell, which makes him feel depressed and ashamed when he is deeply involved in morality.

"What about the initiator? What are you going to do about it?"

"You mean those goblins? Of course you have to endure it first." Ernie's voice was cold.

Dumbledore was surprised: "I thought you would point the finger at Lucius Malfoy and the others."

Ernie chuckled: "How could it be them? They have a family, a family, money and a house.

He used Lucius as an example. He knew very well that if a big incident happened, the ancestral land in Wiltshire might be taken away by the opportunity.

They have the guts to kill wizards. Wizards are aliens to the mortal world and are not protected by law. But he didn't have the guts to blatantly concoct a mortal murder. Nowadays, there is no Voldemort to embolden them and take the blame.

And I don’t think they can hold vampires. Those dark creatures are smelly glue, and it’s not easy to get rid of them. Malfoy and the others also know this.

The goblins are different. They are also dark creatures and have always been in cahoots with vampires and werewolves. I suspect that they secretly provide all kinds of support to dark creatures, but there is no evidence yet. To be more precise, not many people touch this project just for the money.

All I can say is that I am rich, but the goblins are richer and more powerful.

In addition, there is motivation. They have already tasted the sweetness of the McMillan family's need to use their cash capabilities to solve the problem once they encounter a problem. They know I don't have many gold galleons left and need to exchange them. "

Dumbledore said: "But didn't you say before that they were busy sucking blood from the Slavs..."

"There's nothing wrong with it. Mosquitoes need to be injected with toxins that prevent blood coagulation before they can suck blood. The goblins lack mortal currency, so they naturally set their sights on the MacMillan family.

Naturally, this is unlikely to be a conspiracy among the goblins. It is most likely the private operation of a powerful goblin. Will it make any difference to me? "

Dumbledore said nothing, although he still didn't quite understand why Ernie hated the goblins so deeply. But he agreed with Ernie's analysis.

He also knows that money-making ability is often defeated by more powerful money-making ability.

The Daily Prophet is just a mad dog with no moral integrity.

Goblins are different. Goblins are financial tycoons who control the economic lifeline of the wizarding world and have their feet on both the supernatural and mortal worlds.

When many wizards talk about goblins, they think of the glory of the past:

After the Goblin War, many goblins were completely transformed by magic and became servile house elves. This showed the power of wizards. If you provoke wizards, the result will be that your offspring will work like cows and horses, be whipped with a whip, say it's great, and be driven away. He also said, Master, please, please let me continue to be an animal...

But actually?

Goblins and goblins who were enslaved and transformed into house elves were two different things from the beginning.

It is not race that divides them, but wealth.

This is just like some Jews who had their gold teeth pulled out in concentration camps, and the tools used to pull out their gold teeth were precisely sold to the Third Reich by their compatriots in the Lighthouse Country who made huge war profits.

Capital can even sell the noose used to hang itself, so what else can’t be sold?

Those who were arrested and put into the camp lacked connections and funds, and when they got the news, they were still nobodies. Even if they did make some money, it was mostly because of the thrift and business acumen brought by their tutors. What they have to do is play within the rules. Their own energy, connections, and heritage do not allow them to play beyond the limits, and it is easy for them to capsize.

What really exploits and squeezes is the capital. They are more ruthless than anyone else when extracting money, but they are also very smart and smart. As soon as the news starts, the wealth has already been transferred. Those who can be caught are mostly addicted to money. I don’t want to lose any money, I want to leave with my last fortune personally...

It is said that war will never change, but in fact the interest class will never change. It is for money, and the competition is for money. Those who benefit will always be those who play with money, and those who are about to start playing with money.

If the First World War was a shocking reminder to Dumbledore, then the Second World War was a bloody proof.

Many of his worries in advance turned out to be true, and they were more cruel than he imagined.

Why was Grindelwald imprisoned instead of executed?

Do you really think that the wizarding world is a kind society without the death penalty?

No, the warnings Grindelwald had given to the wizards, especially those predicted at the gathering held in the Paris Cemetery, France, all came true.

Grindelwald was indeed attempting war actions that could bring destruction to the wizarding world and spreading some extreme racist ideas, but no one could deny that Grindelwald was far-sighted and some of his ideas were extremely He is forward-looking and some of his arguments have been proved correct by reality. These have become part of his personal charm and have attracted countless fans around the world.

No wizard with knowledge, sense, and hope for the future is willing to bear the cost of killing Grindelwald. He will definitely be blackmailed.

Grindelwald's real downfall came in 1945, when he defeated him head-on and gained control of the Elder Wand. Afterwards, Grindelwald chose to imprison himself, and his parting words were: "Old friend, we missed the best opportunity!"...

Nearly half a century has passed, and he can still remember the situation vividly.

He sees the ups and downs of the mortal world and all the changes in the wizarding world, and takes care of them in his heart. It would be false to say that I have not regretted my original choice at all.

The flash of human nature does exist, but the filth of human nature has become overwhelming.

Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. This is the case in the ordinary world, and the wizarding world is also like this. They have not escaped from human nature, so how can it be different?

Today's goblins are the capital elites of the wizarding world.

If he wanted to overthrow him completely, he couldn't do it, and neither could Ernie.

Just like Ernie's understanding of Voldemort's family, getting rid of the signs and appearances only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

You can't destroy the demons in the world, but you can't destroy the ghosts in people's hearts.

This is an almost unsolvable problem.

Therefore, he does not want Ernie to become a master of money-making ability like the capital elite, nor does he want Ernie to hate goblins too much.

He is afraid that Ernie will become the second Grindelwald!

He had a premonition that if Ernie took the path of Grindelwald, the whole world would be bound to experience an unprecedented bloody storm...

Unlike Dumbledore, who is heavy-hearted and calm on the surface, Ernie's character has a funny side to him.

He has a lot of teasing words: "As the saying goes, peers are enemies. I hate goblins, probably because I am jealous that others can use the framework of organizational power to gain wealth more easily and longer than me. "

"So, your ultimate ideal is to replace it?"

Ernie smiled: "Principal, I know what you are worried about. You are worried that Grindelwald's legacy will be passed on. You are worried that one day I will shout, 'Revolution requires bloodshed, and labor pain is inevitable for change.' Such radical words, It caused a catastrophe of blood and fire in the wizarding world and even the entire world."

Dumbledore sighed: "If you didn't have such a good quality of self-reflection that Grindelwald doesn't have, we wouldn't have the possibility of having this conversation."

"Such praise makes me a little bit flattered. But I know that it's just a matter of listening and shouldn't be taken too seriously. It's not that Mr. Grindelwald doesn't know how to reflect on himself, he's just too proud."

Dumbledore had a rare smile on his face: "This is also one of your strengths, you have the humility and awe of someone who has experienced it."

Ernie also laughed: "If you want to say that, I have to say more. I even suspect that Mr. Grindelwald has jumped out of the category of pride and humility..." Ernie's expression became solemn: "Mencius, the ancient sage from the East, once said: Wherever the Tao is, even if there are thousands of people, I will go there!"

Dumbledore laughed loudly, as happy as a money lover who had found a treasure. He stroked his beard happily and said: "The fact that you can say this makes me believe that Grindelwald's way is not your way."

Ernie thought for a moment and smiled convinced. Xin said: "If you don't say that people are old and horses are slippery, Dumbledore's logic is quite sharp."

It’s been very enjoyable to talk about this topic till now.

Ernie also knew that any further talk about how to deal with goblins at this time would be just a wolf's bluster, which would be boring.

So, he told Dumbledore the idea of ​​​​a high-priced reward that he had mentioned to Hannah and Hermione before...
