The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

So Serrano said, "If Miss Dolly thinks this money is easy to come by, why not help us fill this deficit? The fairy tribe will be forever grateful for your wisdom."

Serrano originally wanted to provoke Dolly and make her come up with a solution.

Dolly stretched and said lazily, "Mr. Serrano, business is business. I don't want your thanks, I want tangible benefits."

"This is a fortune worth 20 million gold Galleons. If I really helped you solve this problem, do you think you can send me away with just a simple thank you?"

Serrano was not angry at Dolly's lazy tone, and was even so excited that he almost stood up.

If Dolly could help the goblins and Gringotts overcome their difficulties, then let alone Dolly's attitude, even if she continued to treat the goblins as servants, they would have no complaints.

Well, at least there will be no complaints for the time being, and this time can last at least half a year.

After all, goblins have never been a race that keeps their promises, especially when facing an object that cannot suppress them.

But at least now, the fairies are willing to show enough sincerity, and everything will wait until Dolly helps them solve the crisis.

So Serrano said, "You can make your terms, Miss Dursley. Nothing is off-limits."

"If you're worried about whether we goblins will keep our promises... I can make you an unbreakable vow."

"Once someone breaks the unbreakable oath, they will be burned to death by the fire of the oath."

Without even thinking, Dolly refused, saying, "I won't use such a terrible magic."

"What if I accidentally break my oath? Wouldn't that mean I'll just die?"

After all, Dolly had been under the Imperius Curse and knew that an unbreakable oath alone would not provide any protection at all.

When the critical moment comes, the fairies will simply abandon Serrano. How can Dolly still have any temper?

The benefits that can be obtained are still the most reliable.

Of course, this benefit cannot make the goblins feel painful, otherwise even if the goblins do not take action themselves, they may ask the desperadoes to cause trouble for Dolly.

Dolly didn't want to be secretly pointed at by some magic wands until she had 24-hour, all-around defense.

So Dolly said, "I want 10% of these 10 million gold Galleons. With % of these gold Galleons, you can definitely make up for the shortfall, right?"

Serrano jumped off his chair and screamed, "Impossible! That's 200 million gold Galleons! You're going to take our 200 million gold Galleons!"

"But if I don't help, you will lose not only 200 million gold Galleons, but also your lives."

"That's impossible. The most we can accept is..."

Serrano's fingers shifted for a long time before he said, "Ten thousand gold galleons. That's my bottom line."

This time it was Dolly's turn to scream. She really didn't expect the fairies to be so stingy.

"The interest rates at Muggle banks aren't even that high! I've essentially provided you with a bridge loan, saving your lives. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Okay, Miss Dursley, you are not a pure savior. We are all in the same boat. If we fail, you will be in trouble too. At the very least, you will be thrown into Azkaban."

Dolly snorted coldly and said, "You want to scare me? I'm Harry's sister. I'll ask Dumbledore to protect me. Do you think the Ministry of Magic will really come to arrest me?"

Harry, who was hiding in the invisibility cloak and watching this scene, felt that his sister was simply too strong. Her tone made it seem as if she really had a good relationship with Dumbledore.

But in fact, the relationship between Dumbledore and Dolly should be very bad. After all, it was Dumbledore who asked Dolly to stop pursuing the matter of being attacked by the troll.

It really made sense that his sister was sorted into Ravenclaw. At least he, Ron, and Neville wouldn't be able to do such a thing even in another ten years.

"Dumbledore is no match for the Ministry of Magic, and he won't fight the entire Ministry for one person."

"Admit it, Miss Dursley. The only thing you have left to use is your intelligence."

Dolly snorted coldly and said, "If you think intelligence is only worth this much, then find a way that doesn't require intelligence. I won't help you anyway."

Serrano's face flushed, as if his entire being was about to be emptied out. "Twenty thousand gold galleons, no more!"

"One million eight hundred thousand gold Galleons, no less!"

The difference between the amounts requested by Dolly and Serrano was so huge that even after the two argued for a long time, the difference was still more than one and a half million.

Seeing that the two sides could not reach an agreement, Serrano began to tremble with anger.

Just as it was hesitating whether to leave and try other methods, Dolly suddenly said, "Mr. Serrano, I don't really want to do a one-time deal with you."

Serrano frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

"It's simple. No matter how much money I ask you for, the result will inevitably be that you will hate me, even if I helped you."

"Admit it, this is your personality."

Such direct words made Serrano unable to cope for a moment.

But it didn't deny it either, it just looked at Dolly calmly, which was probably a kind of acquiescence.

"So why don't we try a different way of cooperation?"

Dolly snapped her fingers and continued, "I can help you for free this time, but next time you invest, I want 20% of the profits from following my advice."

Dolly's words were simple, yet contained a great deal of information.

It was so intense that Serrano had to sit down and think seriously before he could figure out what Dolly wanted.

She chose to give up the direct profits this time and share the profits in the future cooperation between the two parties.

The biggest difference between the two plans is that in the former, Dolly wants to share the money in Gringotts' vault, but in the latter, she wants to share the money earned from wizards and Muggles.

This is obviously easier to accept for the goblin who regards all the money in the vault as his own.

What's more, in the future, the fairies can choose not to cooperate with Dolly, or cooperate without paying her, and the initiative will return to the fairies' hands.

Such generous conditions almost made Serrano feel that Dolly in front of him became unreal. This was completely different from her initial attitude when she was holding on to the gold galleons and refused to let go.

Could there be some big pitfall that he couldn't foresee?

"No, 20% is too much, 2% at most!"

Serrano couldn't understand it for a moment, but still instinctively bargained.

But this time, it was met with Dolly's merciless ridicule: "If you bargain like this again, please leave my house immediately. I don't want to waste another minute of my time."

Now Serrano regained his sense of shame and realized that it was indeed a bit too much.

Dolly was already willing to help for free once, but they weren't even willing to make promises for the future. The goblins' stinginess was clearly written on their faces.

He rearranged his words and said, "10%, as you just mentioned, this is the maximum discount I can give."

"Besides that, we at Gringotts Wizarding Bank are willing to provide you with all kinds of assistance within our capacity. What do you think?"

Serrano originally thought Dolly would object, but this time Dolly unexpectedly nodded. "It's not impossible, but I need one more thing."

Serrano subconsciously asked, "What is it?"

If it was just an item, he would not be unable to accept it compared to Dolly's huge discount.

At this moment, a light flashed in Dolly's eyes.

The dumplings she wanted most finally arrived.

"I want a piece of goblin silver with magic resistance."

Monday Summary and End of Reward

Up to now, my daily routine has been completely messed up. I have been feeling groggy all day long and am completely out of the mood to write a book.

Although I was very unwilling, I had no choice but to adjust my schedule again.

I hope you all won’t be angry first. Last week I updated 96 chapters from Chapter 104 to Chapter 9, 7 words in 4 days. Although it’s not much, it should be considered the average level of Hedgehog Cat (covering face and running away).

As for the bounty, let’s stop here for now. If I offer more, I think everyone might think I can’t pay it back.

Once I've paid off all this, we'll continue.

Then there are the overdue updates until now.

According to the standard of 1000 recommendations plus one update, 150 monthly tickets plus one update, 10000 coins plus one update, 100 blades plus one update, silver treasure chest counts as 5 updates, and gold treasure chest counts as 20 updates.

现在我一共欠上个月结余3更+请假条1更+推荐票11更+月票7更+打赏10更+刀片14更，一共欠44更，已经还了上3更这周2更，还欠39更。

Considering that this week's updates were too embarrassing, I will add 6 more updates myself, making the total of 50 updates I owe. After deducting the 5 updates I have already paid back, I still owe 45 updates.

Then I will finish these 45 chapters as soon as possible.

Updates will resume at 12 noon and 1 at 6 or 9 pm, with a minimum of three updates a day. Let's start from this Monday.

If there are additional updates, they will be stated separately.

Finally, apologize again!

105 Chapter 1 The Dowry for Qiu Zhang

"no!"

Serrano objected almost instinctively, then was slightly stunned.

Fairy silver?

Fairy silver refers to pure silver products forged by fairies and made with fairy magic. It has characteristics that wizards cannot imitate. This production technique has a history of thousands of years.

The sword of Gryffindor, the heirloom of Hogwarts, is made of goblin silver.

The sword of Gryffindor has this power because goblin silver does not need to be cleaned because it repels dust and only absorbs things that strengthen it.

When Harry used the Gryffindor sword made by the goblins to kill the basilisk, the sword was soaked with the basilisk's venom and had the ability to destroy Horcruxes.

With such powerful properties, fairy silver is undoubtedly very valuable. Both wizards and fairies are eager to get it and want to take it for themselves.

But the preciousness here is relative to the personal wealth of a wizard.

But are they discussing the wizard's personal wealth now?

It is the entire Ministry of Magic’s financial expenditure for the next year!

Even if Dolly could only get a few percentage points of it, it would still be incomparable to the wealth of a wizard.

This means that exchanging this money for the fairy's silverware is a price that the fairy cannot refuse.

Serrano even wondered if the conditions were too favorable.

As one of the more cunning representatives, Serrano did not agree immediately.

Instead, he continued to maintain his anger and said, "Fairy silverware is the product of our fairies' hard work. Each piece is made by the craftsmen with painstaking efforts."

"If you try to take the goblin silver, it will be as good as taking our lives!"

"More precious than gold?" Dolly asked disdainfully.

Serrano immediately responded, "That's two different things. They're equally valuable!"

Dolly looked as if she was hoping for such a good thing and said, "Then I'll exchange my gold for the goblin silver?"

Serrano was a little stuck at this point, and quickly said, "No, still no, I mean precious in the sense of meaning."

"In terms of value, goblin silver is much more valuable than gold!"

Dolly spread her hands and said, "According to what you said, fairy silver also has a price, so why can't it be given to me?"

Seeing that Serrano was about to lose his temper, Dolly looked at her watch and said, "You have ten minutes. This isn't Gringotts. I don't want to bother with you any more."

Serrano was speechless now. He almost forgot his environment and position.

Now it was they who needed help, not Dolly who needed help from them.

Dolly's conditions were undoubtedly very generous, making Serrano unable to help but agree.

After all, Dolly essentially just wants a piece of fairy silver, and then help them solve the problem of 20 million gold galleons. She can be said to be a great philanthropist.

But Serrano's stingy nature and cunning character still made him suspicious, and he finally asked, "Miss Dursley, you must answer a question for me."

"Go ahead."

"Why do you want goblin silver, for your collection?"

Serrano looked around Dolly's house and said, "It seems your home isn't a good place to hang our silverware, is it?"

Serrano was always worried that Dolly might know some secrets that he didn't know, which would cause the fairies to miss out on huge benefits.
