Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 243, Section 241: The Twisted Face on the Golden Cup

Harry won the match without any doubt; the effect of the card "Liberate - Tom the Sealed Dark Wizard" was to grant an immediate victory.

The moment they were summoned, both Ultimate Dragon Knight and Five Emperor Dragon vanished instantly.

Harry once again won the Wizard Cards competition, Draco came in second, and Neville came in third, with the top three spots once again being taken by Hogwarts.

After the match ended, a reporter from the Daily Prophet, who called herself Rita Skeeter, appeared out of nowhere and interviewed the three of them, taking notes for a long time. It was unclear what she actually wrote down, but she didn't let the three of them leave until the sun was almost setting.

Although they were exhausted, Harry and his friends were very happy to have won the prize money. Even though they were not short of money, the feeling of winning it through their own efforts was still very satisfying.

As for Ron, he received a consolation prize: a Lockhart doll.

He wanted to take it back to his sister or Mrs. Weasley, whom he remembered were both Lockhart fans.

"Dark Wizard Tom, that's a really strong deck. I want to get a set of that when I get back."

Harry's invincible portrayal of Tom the Dark Wizard left a deep impression on all viewers, and many wizards expressed their intention to collect a set of this card.

Even if the seal cannot be broken, the Tom senior card alone is already very powerful and can be combined with any dark magic.

The key point is that this card is more numerous than Dumbledore's.

He could be a perfect replacement for Dumbledore.

"That's too powerful. It grants victory the moment it's summoned. It's practically invincible."

"Shh, I'll let you in on a little secret. I heard from a friend at the publisher of 'The Witches and Poisons' that the next Legendary Edition of Dumbledore will be the nemesis of the dark wizard Tom."

"See, I told you, there are no absolutely invincible cards in the Wizarding deck."

"You just said it was absolutely invincible."

"Theoretically, if used well, Fudge and Lockhart could also win."

"Come on, using these two cards is worse than using a goblin deck; at least there's still a chance of winning."

There were many more discussions like the one mentioned above, which circulated among the wizards. Those wizards who couldn't attend due to other commitments expressed their regret and said they would definitely attend next time.

Dali was very satisfied with the results of this competition.

Tom the Dark Wizard became famous; everyone knew how powerful Tom was.

Then next time, Dumbledore will have to defeat him.

Next time, anyone can beat Tom.

Gringotts

This is where the fairies work. It's the only chain bank in the wizarding world where you can deposit money or rent vaults, and it's also the safest place in the world (according to the fairies).

As night fell, the fairies, having finished their day's work, gradually emerged from the counter and headed towards their respective homes.

Even fairies wouldn't live in Gringotts.

They like money, but they like the money that belongs to them even more.

Mr. Gold Brick is usually the goblin who leaves Gringotts the latest, not because he loves his job, but because after finishing his work for the day, he will carefully check every corner of Gringotts before leaving.

Well, to put it simply, it's about checking if any money left behind by customers is on the floor.

Believe it or not, sometimes he actually manages to find one or two Nate.

"Sniff. I smell money."

After rummaging around by the flower bed for a while, Jinzhuan pulled out a silver coin and stuffed it into his pocket without saying a word.

"You're really lucky."

Overjoyed after finding the money, Jin Brick strode out the door with an air of nonchalance, while simultaneously touching the Xico coin in his pocket through his clothes.

Just as he was about to leave Gringotts, he suddenly heard a faint sound of metal falling to the ground.

They stopped abruptly and began to survey their surroundings.

Quietly, nothing was found.

Perhaps I misheard.

Thinking this, Jinzhuan decided to continue forward. This time, he had just taken a step with his left foot when the sound of metal falling rang out again.

This time he was sure he hadn't misheard.

Because he also heard a rolling sound.

Its long, pointed ears immediately perked up and turned back, sniffing around with its unusually large, groin-like nose as it searched for something.

As he passed a counter, he noticed something glittering on the floor not far away.

Suppressing his joy, Jinzhuan quickly walked over.

It was a sparkling cup.

The moment Jin Zhuan saw the cup, his heart began to pound rapidly, his breathing became heavy, and he almost threw himself over to cover the cup with his body.

He looked around nervously, like a thief constantly scanning his surroundings, afraid of seeing a second person. However, there was no one else in the quiet hall except him.

Jinzhuan then carefully took the cup out of his pocket and examined it closely.

"Golden?"

He was naturally sensitive to money and knew that the cup in his arms was made of real gold.

It's not just real gold, but also gold used to make Galleons, the kind of gold that's been enchanted.

Those marble-sized eyes were filled with greed.

"If it's not in the wizards' vaults, then nobody wants it."

"A gold brick is a gold brick if you find it!"

Jin Zhuan gripped the gold cup tightly, muttering to himself.

So nervous that he didn't even notice the tiny cut on his hand.

A drop of blood flowed from his palm onto the golden cup.

But it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The pure gold cup reflected a unique luster in the dim light.

The BRICS nations interpret it as the radiance of money.

But unnoticed by him, a slightly distorted face appeared on the side of the gleaming golden cup.

That face had no nose.

Soon, the face disappeared again, as if it were just an illusion.

Jin Zhuan held the golden cup in his arms as if it were a priceless treasure, using his not-so-large clothes to cover it. Whether by coincidence or not, the position of the golden cup he held was exactly aligned with his heart.

Three days later, the goblin gold brick from Gringotts disappeared.

He has not been seen since the night he found the golden cup.

No one knows where he went, nor whether he is alive or dead.

The Aurors conducted a routine check, found nothing, and left hastily.

They don't care about the fate of the gold BRICS. They're just fairies, not wizards. It's already good enough that they came all this way.

The manager of Gringotts didn't care about this at all; he was planning to pocket this month's gold coin salary and hope that the gold coin would never appear in his life.

Shortage of manpower? Not at all.

There are plenty of fairies who want to work at Gringotts, a job that involves dealing with money. If gold bricks don't do it, there are plenty of fairies who will.

As for the other fairies, they didn't care.

Fairies care about nothing but money.

People can betray even their own family, let alone just colleagues.

Interpersonal relationships? They don't exist.

As long as you can afford the price, the fairies will be your most loyal friends.
