Undoubtedly, goblins are a highly intelligent humanoid species.

Unlike the "elves" or "banshees" in the non-magical world, the accurate spelling of goblins in this world is actually "goblin." In Chinese, a more accurate translation would be "ge bu lin" or "di jing" (ground spirits).

Due to their years of accumulated experience operating Gringotts Wizarding Bank, goblins largely control the magical world's economy, making them one of the few races that can stand on equal footing with wizards—at least, that's what goblins believe.

Furthermore, goblins' magical abilities should not be underestimated. As a race born with the ability to perform wandless magic and monopolizing the magical weapons manufacturing industry, they are indeed a formidable non-human intelligent force.

However...

Evidently, compared to their talents in finance and magical forging, goblins don't understand politics.

In Erina's view, the goblins of Gringotts are like the bankers who inflated themselves a few hundred years ago. They're too immersed in the business world to remember that the rules of this world are not immutable.

Perhaps a few smart goblins can see the danger behind this, but in the face of massive profits, they all choose to take the risk—nearly ten billion rubles is enough for all goblins to forget all risks.

"So, can we see this as a threat?"

Erina picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and replied casually.

"If this is Gringotts' response, then you can leave... Hogwarts will honor the rubles prepared for the date. I am curious whether Gringotts, which controls the lifeline of the magical world's economy, can completely block all ruble exchange channels."

Based on the flow of funds between the magical and non-magical worlds, and the information revealed by this old goblin, most of the non-circulating ruble foreign exchange reserves in the Soviet Union are likely under the control of the Gringotts goblins.

As a vital economic entity serving as a bridge for fund circulation and exchange between the magical and non-magical worlds, and the primary channel for currency inflow and outflow in the entire magical world, Gringotts believes it is almost invincible.

After all, for Hogwarts to raise nearly ten billion rubles in cash, there are only two options.

1. Break the Statute of Secrecy and openly engage in financial transactions with non-magical governments.
2. Recycle cash in the existing circulation market through the most primitive form of barter, generating profits.

However, in the hypothetical model established by the goblins, both scenarios are almost impossible.

As for the former, unless Hogwarts directly declares war on the entire international magical community, initiating a global wizarding war like Grindelwald did and ultimately achieving victory, breaking the Statute of Secrecy is impossible.

As for the latter, it is another level of impossible event, even more absurd than the former.

Even if the Soviet Union were to dissolve overnight and the ruble were to lose its value on the circulation market overnight, becoming mere waste paper, neither Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry nor the magical world would be able to collect these "waste papers" from Muggles.

The value of currency lies in its circulation. There is only one way to recover currency cash in the circulation market, which is to give them the attribute of transaction symbols—even collecting waste paper requires paying a certain basic consideration.

Currency scattered in the circulation market is not so easy to obtain.

It's like wanting to make a profit, earning one yuan from each of ten thousand people is vastly different from earning ten thousand yuan from one wealthy person at once.

In other words, unless Hogwarts can cover most of the Soviet Union's physical trading market, complete a semi-monopoly dumping of a vital commodity, and generate hundreds of billions of rubles in profit through commercial means in a short period of time.

Otherwise, even if the ruble depreciates to nothing, it will be meaningless for the supply-closed magical world.

However, for Leos, the most pressing problem now is how to make these stupid wizards realize the cruelty of reality—apparently, wizards may have similar news channels, but their analysis of financial issues is only slightly better than that of silly trolls.

"Miss Kaslana, you don't understand the problem you're encountering... Wealth is not as simple as you think."

Leos suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and a trace of disdain flashed across his wrinkled old face.

"Unless you expose the existence of the magical world, you simply have no way to obtain rubles from Muggles, understand?! Even if the ruble depreciates into waste paper, as long as Gringotts does not open an unlimited exchange window, your Galleons, dollars, and pounds can only remain as they are, unable to redeem your school's deed."

"So... is that all? Are you finished?"

Glancing at the stubborn and agitated old goblin, Erina sighed in disappointment.

Perhaps she overestimated this group of goblins from Gringotts. She thought they would be a group of formidable kings, but...

Blinded by profit, perhaps that's the best way to describe this situation?

Erina put down her teacup, waved her hand with little interest, stood up, walked to the bird stand, took off the white Quidditch cloak, and walked towards the headmaster's office door as if no one else was there.

"Professor Dumbledore, you don't have to call me for this kind of thing next time... Just refuse directly, there's nothing to say."

"Stop! You arrogant little girl, do you know what you are rejecting?!"

Leos suddenly spread his arms and stood in front of Erina with an agility that did not match his age and figure. His breathing became rapid and heavy, and he waved the mortgage contract signed a few months ago.

"This is a win-win deal! As long as you put a little pressure, the debt between Hogwarts and Gringotts can be written off! Understand?! Hogwarts will receive tens of billions of Galleons worth of rewards out of thin air and will also gain Gringotts' eternal friendship. Isn't that enough?!"

Looking at the old goblin standing in front of her, Erina's face became a little unsightly.

The girl's fingers couldn't help but move slightly. She looked up and glanced at Dumbledore with an inquiring gaze—the old wizard was still sitting in his chair, not moving, but watching Erina quietly with a meaningful expression.

Obviously, no matter what Erina planned to do next, the old man would not stop her.

But...
