Chapter 222 The Magician’s Invitation, the World Needs Change

"distribution?"

Compared to management, goblins are obviously more sensitive to the latter word.

"That's right, Mr. Lamp Ring."

Tang Sen grabbed a handful of gold galleons and said, "I hope that anyone can claim the wealth in my vault."

"This -" Lantern Huan's face showed a look of extreme confusion, "Anyone? Guest, what does this mean?"

"literal meaning."

Tang Sen said calmly: "I hope that anyone who meets the conditions can withdraw part of the gold galleons from the treasury."

He paused and said, "One hundred gold galleons should be an appropriate number."

Lamp Ring opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a long time before holding back a sentence: "The guest is so generous. I mean, can I take it too?"

Tang Sen glanced at him and said, "Of course, if you meet the conditions."

"What conditions?" Lantern Huan asked impatiently.

Tang Sen shook his head: "You will know soon."

"Besides, you or Gringotts don't need to covet a hundred gold galleons."

"A hundred gold galleons is not small money," Lantern Huan whispered, then his eyes lit up and he looked at Tang Sen expectantly.

Tang Sen did not sell it, but said: "Based on the fact that I entrusted this business to Gringotts, Gringotts can naturally obtain handling fees from it. I mean, every time someone comes to collect gold Galleons, Gringotts You can take some of it yourself——"

He asked: "Generally, how much handling fee does Gringotts charge for withdrawing money?"

"If it is the guest's own vault, Gringotts does not charge a handling fee. We only charge maintenance fees and other fees." Lantern Ring quickly explained: "But if it is stored in the Gringotts public vault Money, depositing money is free, but withdrawing money requires a handling fee of one thousandth to one percent, which is a necessary fee."

Tang Sen nodded and said, "It's very reasonable, and it's too cheap."

He threw the gold galleons in his hand to the ground and said: "Then let's calculate it according to one percent of the top grid."

Lamp Ring became excited, clasped his fingers and said quickly: "In other words, as long as one person takes out one hundred gold galleons from Gringotts or the guest's treasury, we will be able to get an extra gold galleons." The handling fee?”

"That's right." Tang Sen nodded and said, "Isn't this a little too little?"

Lamp Ring jumped up and was about to speak, but Tang Sen had already continued: "Well, based on the special nature of this business, I think giving Gringotts another five percent reward is a reasonable figure. That is, for every one hundred gold galleons taken away, Gringotts can get six gold galleons."

He hesitated and frowned.

"I hate the number six. Forget it, let's round it up, just ten gold galleons."

He looked at the lamp ring that was completely dull and unresponsive on his face. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him and said, "Don't you look very excited? Is this business making things difficult for you?"

"It's not difficult." Lantern Huan suddenly woke up, and the goblin's keen talent for money made him react instantly and screamed: "In other words, I can own one-tenth of the wealth in this vault? "

"To be precise, it's one-eleventh." Tang Sen corrected: "And it's not you, but the entire Gringotts."

"I am the personal manager in charge of this vault!" Lamp Ring shouted reflexively.

"Yes, of course you are." Tang Sen said: "It's just a suggestion. You may not be able to bear the risks of this business alone."

"Risk?" Lantern Huan said without hesitation: "Gringotts is not afraid of risks!"

As long as the benefits are big enough.

Lantern Ring didn't say this, but both of them knew it.

"Very good." Tang Sen didn't say much, "So, happy cooperation?"

"Seeing you today is the best day in Lantern Huan's life!" Lantern Huan stretched out his hand and said, "I don't know your name yet."

Tang Sen had no intention of shaking hands with him, but just said: "You don't need to know."

"However, we still need to sign various documents, including the purchase contract for the private vault, the entrustment contract for the distribution of gold coins, and of course the most important part, the handling fee."

"No need, no need at all."

Tang Sen walked towards the outside of the vault.

"This -" Lamp Ring looked back at the suitcase placed in the vault, at the mountains of gold galleons, and then looked back at Tang Sen, who didn't care about this and walked directly towards the vehicle, revealing I don’t know how many times I’ve had an incomprehensible expression today.

"Guest. I don't understand."

He stood there, unable to move forward.

"If it weren't for those contracts—"

"You want to say that if I don't sign those things, I can't protect the rights and interests of my wealth, right?" Tang Sen said calmly: "It's strange, I'm not worried, what are you worried about?"

"But, in this case, this money."

"Contracts are not the only things that can bind others in this world, Mr. Lantern Ring." Tang Sen got on the vehicle and said: "Money is just a number to me. I don't care about the money, but to you, the money is just a number." It’s an extremely huge risk.”

"So, I trust that Gringotts will honor its business with me and handle my wealth well."

"As long as you still have some brains and are not blinded by greed, you will know soon."

He lowered the brim of his hat and looked at the light ring with his shadowed eyes.

"Gringotts cannot afford the consequences of breach of contract."

The goblins of Gringotts soon figured out what their mysterious guest meant.

A news spread quickly later that day, first in Diagon Alley, and then throughout London. By the next morning, almost every wizard in the British wizarding world was discussing it, and even other countries across the strait. , have heard about it.

"I will invite anyone who has information to attend my gathering on the morning of the second Monday in February at Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire - whatever your purpose may be. Come, no matter what your status is, whether you are a friend or an enemy, an Auror or a dark wizard."

"In order not to cause trouble to everyone, every guest who comes can receive one hundred gold galleons from Gringotts to reimburse travel expenses."

"The world needs change, all for the sake of a more brilliant civilization."

These words were carved on the bar of the Leaky Cauldron where the magician once stood and used as a podium. No one saw when or who did it. The owner of the Leaky Cauldron, Mr. Tom, claimed that he had never seen it. Anyone suspicious, these words seem to appear out of thin air.

The Ministry of Magic immediately erased these words and declared that it was a shameful lie and a trap set by people with ulterior motives pretending to be magicians in order to attract people to Salisbury Plain in order to achieve some undesirable goals. A well-known secret.

However, interested people have discovered that the Ministry of Magic, in cooperation with relevant departments of Muggle society, has sealed off dozens of miles around Stonehenge, expelled all Muggles, and sent a large number of Aurors to Wiltshire.

Some people who were interested noticed that the handwriting left on the bar was exactly the same as the handwriting left on the wall of the burned villa in the suburbs by the magician, which was the place where Lucius Malfoy died.

The most important evidence is that later on, the goblins of Gringotts personally admitted that an unknown person bought a vault in Gringotts and stored a huge amount of gold galleons. According to the agreement in advance, According to the agreement, the goblins will appoint several commissioners to go to Stonehenge to record all the wizards present. They all have the right to withdraw one hundred gold galleons from the treasury after the party.

There are various signs that this is indeed an invitation from the magician.

One hundred gold galleons is not a small amount for most wizards. It is enough to buy more than ten brand-new wands, enough to travel around the world on the Knight Bus, and enough to consume a normal wizard family for several months. need.

To earn this money, you only need to go to Salisbury Plain.

The distance between London and Salisbury Plain is quite far, but this distance is not difficult for wizards. Whether it is apparation, floo network, or even riding a flying broomstick, wizards can make it without any difficulty. Get there without any hindrance.

It is foreseeable that after this news spread, it caused a huge shock in the entire magic world. Those wizards who originally respected the magician's ideas and wanted to see this mysterious figure with their own eyes were naturally overjoyed, while those who were not interested in it were naturally delighted. Interested wizards, and even wizards who opposed the magician's ideas, couldn't help but be moved.

The Ministry of Magic is obviously aware of this. They are finally willing to mention the magician's name in the Daily Prophet again, saying in harsh words that the magician is an extremely dangerous criminal, and anyone who comes into contact with the magician or even helps him will violate the law.

Moreover, the other party paid such a high price to lure the wizards to Salisbury Plain, and it was definitely not out of good intentions. The Ministry of Magic firmly believed that the other party was planning an extremely evil conspiracy, and it might even be to murder and kill the wizards. For their own safety, the Ministry of Magic advises wizards not to be greedy for small gains. Not only will they lose their lives, but they may also hinder the Ministry of Magic's law enforcement against magicians.

They closed all floo network access to Wiltshire and advised wizards to stay at home. The Ministry of Magic will announce relevant information when arresting and trying magicians.

To this end, they also announced that a live lottery will be held in Diagon Alley on the same day, and the maximum prize will be one thousand gold galleons.

It's unclear whether this series of countermeasures are useful yet, but any wizard can feel the importance that the Ministry of Magic attaches to magicians.

Some people even ridiculed that if the Ministry of Magic had adopted this attitude to confront the mysterious man earlier, maybe everyone would not have to worry about the future of the wizarding world. Of course, in response to such remarks, the Ministry of Magic remained as tough as ever and stated that there is absolutely no chance that the mysterious man will be resurrected. It's Harry Potter's lie.

In short, in this atmosphere, the appointed day finally arrived.
