People are in Hogwarts, What the hell is the flood system?
Chapter 17: Powerful coma, talent obtained
At night, almost all the shops in Diagon Alley were closed, but Gringotts was still brightly lit.
After all, this was the center of wealth flow in the entire wizarding world, controlling the economic lifeline of the magical world. For goblins, watching glittering gold coins enter the vault was simply a pleasure.
Here, overtime was not only unpaid, but you even had to compete for a spot!
Griphook and his companions were eagerly awaiting today's overtime list.
After experiencing the depressing affair with Rhine, they urgently needed overtime to soothe their indignant hearts.
But when the list was announced, they didn't see their names.
Among a group of disappointed and frustrated goblins, Griphook and his companions' voices were particularly sharp.
"Damn it!"
"Why is nothing going smoothly today?"
"Today, sixty-two fewer Galleons passed through my hands than yesterday. It's all that little wizard named Rhine's fault. It's all his fault for wasting my time."
"And I had a headache today, that's his fault too."
"And not being able to work overtime, that's his fault too. He used up all my luck!"
Griphook could now declare in his heart.
Among all the wizards in the entire wizarding world, the one he hated the most was Rhine.
What Griphook found regrettable was that the wizarding world was no longer what it used to be.
Back then, goblins could still fight wizards, retaining a lot of power to resist.
A hundred years ago, there were even goblin rebel organizations that were enough to invade Hogwarts and even dabble in ancient magic.
But now, goblins could only honestly huddle in Gringotts, not daring to have any outrageous behavior.
Otherwise, with just a little wizard who hadn't even entered school yet, Griphook had a hundred ways to vent the anger in his heart.
"Hateful wizards!"
While Griphook was angry, outside Gringotts, Rhine saw the changes on the system screen.
In the nemesis relationship column, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao's relationship with him, which was originally indifferent, had now turned into extreme animosity.
The corner of Rhine's mouth twitched.
He had witnessed how petty the goblin race was and how much they hated wizards.
Damn, he offended Griphook during the day, and now it's already night, and this hateful relationship can still deepen?
"The goblin race is indeed cheap."
"Developing friendship with them is extremely difficult, and becoming close friends is impossible."
"But to offend them, it's easy to reach the point of extreme animosity."
"If I robbed them of their money, then this relationship would probably directly reach the point of being irreconcilable."
Then, a hint of coldness appeared in Rhine's eyes.
"Fortunately, I'm not a generous person either."
For Rhine, it wasn't a bad thing that his relationship with Griphook and his companions had reached extreme animosity.
Beating them up a few more times could get him the 'Outstanding Chess Skill' talent.
Although he didn't know what it was for, at most he could use it for socializing later, but Rhine could do without it, but he couldn't not have it!
Rhine quietly waited in the night sky outside Gringotts.
At this time, those goblins who failed to get the overtime opportunity walked out of Gringotts dejectedly, planning to fill their stomachs.
Some goblins simply felt that a day without being able to work overtime was too gloomy, and directly Apparated back home, planning to sleep until the beautiful tomorrow when they could count Galleons.
Griphook and his companions were originally planning to do the same.
But at this moment, the corner of their eyes caught a glimpse of a fleeting golden light.
In an alley that only they could see, a Galleon seemed to have been lost by its owner and was waving at them at the entrance of the alley.
The goblins' instinctive impulse immediately occupied their minds.
A masterless Galleon, the moment it was seen by a goblin, was already reserved.
The two goblins hurriedly ran over and picked up the Galleon.
"How beautiful!"
Greed and heat filled Griphook and his companions' eyes.
"This must be heaven's compensation for our unlucky day."
Only in the next moment did the two goblins suddenly feel a gust of evil wind surging above, enveloping them in a terrifying aura.
They subconsciously looked up, only to find that all they could see were owl wings, completely blocking their view.
Suddenly, among the layers of owl wings, a figure descended from the sky, and two palms stretched out from under the flying black robe, grabbing the heads of the two goblins and pressing them hard against the ground.
Instantly, Griphook and his companions seemed to have been hit by some incredibly powerful Stupefy spell, losing consciousness without a word.
Rhine looked at Griphook and his companions who had fallen to the ground unconscious, and clicked his tongue, not expecting it to go so smoothly.
A Galleon, really made these two goblins step into the trap and be easily stunned?
It seemed that although goblins had a natural talent for magic, after so many years, they had long become only good at counting money.
They were completely different from the goblins of the past, but they were still immersed in the glory of the past.
In short, they were both weak and pretentious!
At this time, a prompt appeared on the system screen.
[You used despicable means to beat Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao unconscious]
[You have obtained the 'Wind and Dew' talent]
[Continue to beat Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao twice to obtain the 'Outstanding Chess Skill' talent]
[Do you want to claim the reward now?]
Rhine pondered for a moment.
Beat them up two more times?
He didn't hesitate at all and gave Griphook and his companions two more kicks, but the system didn't respond.
"It seems that these only count as one time. Does that mean I have to do it again after a while for it to count?"
After figuring out the judgment for the number of beatings, Rhine understood.
Since the reward was in his account, the anger in his heart had also dissipated. Rhine put away the Galleon he used to lure Griphook and his companions.
He also looted the dozens of Galleons that Griphook and his companions were carrying.
"This trip wasn't in vain."
Only then did Rhine reveal a smile, and once again boarded the owl flying sword, heading towards his mansion.
Griphook and his companions were discovered by the goblins of Gringotts an hour later and were rushed to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.
The physicians at St. Mungo's Hospital looked at the injuries suffered by Griphook and other goblins, waved their wands, and revealed a look of surprise and uncertainty in their eyes.
"They are suspected of being attacked by a super-powerful Stupefy spell. Our counter-spell has no effect and we can only wait for them to wake up on their own."
Hearing this, the goblins of Gringotts revealed a nervous expression.
It didn't matter if Griphook and his companions were unconscious, as there were two fewer competitors for overtime.
But they were actually hit by a Stupefy spell that even St. Mungo's Hospital couldn't undo?
Could it be that a wizard wanted to attack Gringotts?
No, we must strengthen our defenses.
……
At this time, Rhine, who had returned home, didn't expect St. Mungo's Hospital to make such a misjudgment, nor did he expect Gringotts to accidentally "predict" that someone was going to break into Gringotts by force.
All of his thoughts were now focused on the 'Wind and Dew' talent.
"Speaking of which, besides the 'Essence of Sun and Moon' talent that I haven't gotten yet, this is the only talent I've seen that can assist in cultivation."
"I wonder if this talent, which can assist in cultivation even in the Primordial Era, will be effective in this world?"
A look of anticipation appeared in Rhine's eyes.
"System, claim the 'Wind and Dew' talent."
