The elf Griphook looked at the wizard in front of him and said angrily: "Aurors are not welcome in Gringotts."

Aesop lowered his head to look directly at him: "But Gringotts shouldn't reject depositors."

"Sorry," a mocking expression appeared on the goblin's face, "As far as I know, Mr. Warden doesn't have even a single copper Knut in Gringotts."

"Then maybe I'm here to save money today. If you don't let me in, I might lose a big customer." Aesop has no intention of forcing his way into Gringotts. After all, the identity of Auror is indeed too sensitive. .

The Ministry of Magic has a special goblin liaison department responsible for contacting Gringotts affairs. This is a tacit understanding between the two parties.

Hearing what he said, La Shai had no choice but to make a greeting gesture: "Welcome to Gringotts, dear sir."

Aesop smiled and entered the largest financial institution in the wizarding world.

"Wait a minute!" The goblin at the door hurriedly caught up and organized the Aurors who wanted to go up the stairs. "Mr. Aesop, if you want to rent a vault, you only need to do it on the first floor. Gringotts is above. Other departments are not open to non-staff members.”

"Really, but I just saw a suspicious person coming up. As an Auror, I can't turn a blind eye." Aesop looked condescendingly at the goblin Griphook, "And if you let that suspicious person do whatever you want, I won't be able to turn a blind eye." It’s not a good thing.”

"The most suspicious person here is you, Mr. Aesop." A clear female voice came from upstairs.

The goblins bowed to Catherine. Goblins always maintain respect for these people who can bring them enough benefits.

Catherine walked down the stairs: "Mr. Aesop should have come to see me, so I will be responsible for receiving him."

"Okay, Miss Catherine."

Aesop noticed that the goblin was still looking at him when he left, as if he was worried that he would do something detrimental to Gringotts.

"Are fairies always so dedicated?" Aesop smiled and did not look at the French girl in front of him.

"After all, for them, Gringotts is the most important industry and the only basis for them to maintain their independent status in the magical world." Catherine looked at the young Auror in front of her and speculated on his purpose of coming to her.

"That's really pitiful, entrusting the safety of a race to a bunch of yellow and white things." Aesop looked at the magnificent Gringotts lobby, "They want to be the masters of Galleons, but they will always be slaves of desire. "

Catherine smiled: "In my impression, as the Archmage, you are not a sentimental person. I think you came here to see me specifically, and you probably didn't want to talk to me about fairies."

Aesop was silent for a while: "Miss Catherine, I remember that according to the deal, I gave you a part of the equity, and you had to keep your speculations secret. So, how did Principal Dumbledore know about it?"

Although Dumbledore put aside some of his prejudices against himself and planned to cooperate with him in dealing with Voldemort, there was no doubt that this was all based on his feeling that his magical path was order.

However, as far as Aesop knows, the only one who speculates that his magical path is "magic is order" is this witch who is most likely a direct descendant of Flamel.

"It seems there is a big misunderstanding between us." Catherine's expression remained unchanged, as if she was fully confident in convincing Aesop, "Mr. Aesop, you should know that I am a businessman."

The person who exchanged the secrets of the Archmage for the interests of shares at the first meeting was indeed an excellent businessman.

But maybe this is a deliberately created impression?

"Since I am a businessman, integrity is the foundation of my life."

Aesop was still smiling, but his eyes were slightly narrowed: "There are many businessmen who profit from fraud, and I personally sent a large number of them to Azkaban."

Is this a warning? He is indeed an Auror with the name of [Warden].Catherine took her time: "However, do you think I have the guts to deceive an archmage, even if it means telling another archmage your secret?"

"After all, Dumbledore will not protect me all the time, and you have many opportunities to deal with me."

Aesop shook his head: "This reason still doesn't convince me, Miss Catherine. But for this reason, I can give you a chance. You have to prove that Principal Dumbledore did not get the information from you."

"Are you always so overbearing?" Catherine asked dissatisfied, "Let me investigate the principal of Hogwarts?"

"I believe in your methods. After all, you are the one who guessed my way of magic." Aesop took out his pocket watch and looked at it. "Besides, this should be regarded as an obligation as a shareholder of the Stars Group."

After saying that, before Catherine could refuse, Aesop had already disappeared - leaving no trace, even if it disappeared into the water.

Doesn't his apparation require a spellcasting process?

Catherine's heart suddenly tightened - this was clearly a warning!

In order to ensure the safety of students, Apparition is not allowed in Hogwarts; do you think goblins who value wealth as much as their lives will allow wizards to come and go directly in their own territory?

Gringotts' protective magic also included the anti-Apparition spell, and Aesop used this magic in front of him to warn himself not to take any chances.

There may be things in this world that Aesop is afraid of, but Gringotts and the goblins are definitely not included; and this ability to ignore restrictions also tells himself that he is definitely capable of dealing with himself.

"Damn British guy." Catherine said bitterly, knowing that the Archmage's money was not that easy to get.

Aesop understood that Dumbledore already knew his influence among the Squibs, and it would be impossible to investigate him through this method.

To be honest, Aesop doesn't know if Catherine betrayed him, but whether it is or not does not prevent her from investigating - if not, then it is just a good idea to use the other party's intelligence channels that are not weaker than his own to find out the truth; if so, The other party must also give himself a suitable reason.

Aesop was confident and distinguished between reasons and facts.

After threatening the French witch who had ripped off him when they first met, Aesop was in a good mood.

"Would you like to take this opportunity to finish marking the Defense Against the Dark Arts homework?"

As soon as he thought of this, Aesop shook his head crazily. Thinking of the varying levels of the young wizards, he decided not to make trouble for himself.It's better to still trouble Professor Lupine - when he solves the little furry problems every month and sees that the pile of homework has been delayed and has to be corrected, he will help.

"I heard you showed up in Gringotts." Snape suddenly appeared in the streets of Diagon Alley, which still startled Aesop.

Aesop looked back at Gringotts behind him and said in admiration: "Mr. Dean, I really didn't expect that you actually have your own informant in Gringotts."

Snape's face turned red, and he immediately retorted: "Maybe you were too happy chatting with that pretty lady and didn't notice Mr. Malfoy who came to Gringotts to withdraw money. But he only saw you and didn't listen. No matter what you say, it seems that you are still as vigilant as ever."

"Ha, Mr. Dean, those who are not cautious in our profession have already gone to see Merlin." It turned out to be Mr. Malfoy who tipped off. Aesop looked at the teacher in front of him, "Then, what do you want from me? It's so urgent that it can't wait until the next time I go to Hogwarts."

Aesop is still filling in for Professor Lupin and needs to go to Hogwarts every month.

Snape looked at the Archmage student in front of him: "If I want to go to Azkaban, I can only find you."
