The first White Lord of Hogwarts - Chapter 104
“Gold coins and such are not important.”
Fudge didn’t want to cause a conflict with the goblins. He wanted to be re-elected as the Minister of Magic.
Everything should be stable and win steadily. This is Fudge’s code of conduct.
“We took the gold coins back.”
Dumbledore took a cursed gold coin, and he and Ivan left the Ministry of Magic and returned to Hogwarts.
The officials of the Ministry of Magic did not expect that even Dumbledore could not solve the problem this time.
Fortunately, they still have time.
With Dumbledore’s magical attainments, he will be able to find a solution sooner or later.
On the other side, Dumbledore took Ivan back to the headmaster’s office.
The two walked out of the fireplace with green flames. Dumbledore put the cursed gold coin on the desk, and the old man said:”Ivan, you should have seen it, right?”
“I have some ideas.”
Ivan said:”What about you, Professor?”
“”That’s about right.”
Dumbledore’s knowledge once again exceeded Ivan’s expectations.
After just a brief encounter, Dumbledore analyzed the curse and found a way to break it.
“31 bloodline curses, and hatred for the greedy”
“”If I’m not mistaken,” Dumbledore said,”To break the curse, you need the blood of the person who picked up the gold coin, plus the person who returned the gold coin in person.”
“As expected of you.”
Ivan thought of the Aztec gold coins in Pirates of the Caribbean from the system task.
However, Dumbledore judged the correct answer based on his experience and vision.
As expected of you, Dumbledore.
Ivan secretly admired Dumbledore’s power, and he asked:”Then why don’t you just tell them?”
“Telling them doesn’t mean that things will end here.”
It seems that Dumbledore also knows the problems of the Ministry of Magic. He is not worried that they can’t break the curse.
The problem is that it is easy to break it and it is not difficult to retrieve the cursed gold coins.
But these gold coins are now in the hands of the goblins, which is very troublesome.
“You mean, we should first take the sarcophagus and the gold coins inside from the goblins?”
Ivan understood what Old Dumbledore was worried about. These cursed gold coins contained extremely powerful magic.
Such things needed to be sealed with powerful magic.
As for Gringotts
, even dark wizards like Quirrell could enter and exit freely. Its security was full of loopholes.
“I will ask the Ministry of Magic to find all the people who took the gold coins.”
The sarcophagus, the gold coins, and the people who took the gold coins, only when these three are gathered together can the curse be officially broken.
In addition, there is another point.
Dumbledore’s influence is too great.
If he doesn’t take it easy and tells them the correct answer right away, the Ministry of Magic will appear very incompetent.
In this way, Fudge will not only not be grateful to Dumbledore, but will blame him for stealing his limelight.
“I don’t quite understand.”
Ivan asked:”Why do you support such a person to become the Minister of Magic?”
“He wasn’t like this before.”
Dumbledore was also very troubled. Before Fudge became the minister, his behavior was almost impeccable.
However, after he came to power, except for the fact that he often consulted Dumbledore at the beginning, he seemed like a different person. It was not until this time that Dumbledore understood.
It turned out that everything Fudge did before was to please Dumbledore.
He restrained himself and made himself someone Dumbledore admired.
It was not until he gained power and status that his true nature was exposed. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
If a person can pretend to be a good person all his life, then he is a good person.
Unfortunately, in the face of the temptation of power, Fudge chose to indulge himself and drifted away from his original personality.
“So, are we just going to do nothing?”
“We need to prepare in advance.”
Dumbledore said:”This curse has many flaws.”
“flaw?”
“Yes.”
Dumbledore:”To be precise, it should be the method to break the curse. It seems easy, but it is full of traps.”
There are many requirements to break the curse.
And these requirements are very easy to cause problems.
For example, there are 888 gold coins in total. If someone destroys one of the gold coins, can the curse still be broken?
And if the person who took the gold coins died and had no blood left,
“The negative emotions on the gold coin are extremely strong. It is obvious that the caster is full of malice towards the person who picked up the gold coin, and wishes that they would suffer eternal torment.”
So what the Ministry of Magic has to do now is to find all the cursed Muggles and gather them together.
At the same time, they have to collect the lost gold coins and take back the sarcophagus taken away by the goblins.[]
Of course, there must be no less gold coins in the sarcophagus.
“Fairy, you wouldn’t be so stupid as to take the gold coins, right?”
“It’s not impossible.”
Goblins are famous for their greed for magic items.
Dumbledore couldn’t tell them this on the spot because of Fudge’s face.
He had to wait until tomorrow to spend a whole night to make the wizards of the Ministry of Magic look less incompetent and save Fudge’s face.
“So, what will they do after the curse is broken?”
“Destroy it?”
Ivan’s task was to recontain the sarcophagus and the gold coins. He couldn’t let the wizard destroy them.
“I don’t think so.”
Dumbledore didn’t realize what Ivan meant. He said,”No one would be willing to destroy a treasure like that.”
Although cursed items are cursed, there are still people in the magic world who sell such things.
It is dangerous, but it is also valuable.
“Gringotts or the Ministry of Magic, its final destination is no more than these two places.”
Dumbledore’s words made Ivan’s heart sink slightly. He almost knew what the main task wanted him to do.
Break into Gringotts, or break into the Ministry of Magic and take away the cursed gold coins.
Challenge the two largest forces in Britain right away?
The only thing Ivan is thankful for now is that these two forces do not have a great wizard like Dumbledore.
Ivan is still very confident in terms of force.
But how to do it specifically?
There is also the problem of aftermath. I can’t just rush in carelessly, right?
And in order not to expose his identity, Ivan can’t use some iconic powers.
This adds a lot of difficulty to his actions.
Don’t act rashly, you have to plan it well.
Ivan decided to wait and see, wait for the actions of the Ministry of Magic and Gringotts, and then make sufficient preparations before completing the main task.
