Mysterious Journey
Chapter 774: A Transcendent Bargaining Chip (Part Two)
Aylin raised a finger, flipping the galleon to reveal the Hogwarts castle design, and added softly with a smile.
"And in fact, the revolution has already begun in the wizarding world at this moment..."
Nicolas Flamel frowned, carefully examining the unusual galleon in the girl's palm.
As an old wizard who has lived for centuries, he knew Gringotts' goblins too well. To maintain the value of the galleons in their hands, they would rather sacrifice their entire race to start a war than...
Throughout history, goblins might occasionally stand on the side of wizards, but they would never allow humans to interfere with their gold.
Seeing this strange galleon, Nicolas Flamel suddenly remembered the plaque with goblin craftsmanship. At first, he thought Dumbledore and others had obtained the support of the goblins, but now it seemed more like they had conquered them?
"What's going on? Speaking of which, you and those goblins at Gringotts Wizarding Bank..."
Aylin spread out her hands, the little ahoge on her head wagging happily, and crossed her arms, saying proudly.
"Oh, right! I forgot to mention during the introduction earlier that I have another identity - the Mistress of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, the Goblin Queen. According to my name among the goblins, you can call me... Bronya."
As the successor of the new generation of underground mafia forces, she knew the importance of multiple identities and role-playing.
Aylin was well aware that as time went on, when people gradually realized that the world was undergoing drastic changes, before they could solve and understand reality, many would try to adapt to the world by solving the people who created the problems.
Aylin glanced at the surprised Nicolas Flamel, her eyes twinkling, and smiled slightly.
"Compared to wizards, goblins are the ones who are most afraid of being abandoned by the human civilization world. If there is a sufficiently clear reason, they don't mind making changes. Given the current situation in the wizarding world, continuing to stick to the wizarding financial market will only lead to a narrower path in the future. Only by choosing to join us and become a community of interests can they avoid all this."
This statement clearly aligned with Nicolas Flamel's understanding, and the old alchemist nodded thoughtfully.
Just like Newt Scamander, Nicolas Flamel was most worried that Aylin and her companions would use their power to coerce others. Once such a demon was released, it might not only be goblins next - if combined with the Philosopher's Stone and his knowledge, there was no wizard in the world who could resist her.
"So, you have a way to integrate those goblins into the future world?" Nicolas Flamel asked curiously.
"The situation at Gringotts isn't very good right now. Currency reform is just the easiest way to achieve this. If the wizarding world can truly merge with the non-magical world, then at least they can participate in subsequent financial work with credit currency..."
Aylin casually explained a few sentences, not elaborating too much on finance.
Unlike human wizards, goblins are inherently unable to exist independently, detached from magical civilization.
If Gringotts Wizarding Bank does not reform, then when the day comes that the wizarding world merges with the non-magical world, it will also mean that the entire goblin race and Gringotts are completely headed for social demise.
Faced with a unified human civilization, they wouldn't even have the value of being exploited.
Humans will not allow the right to mint and issue currency to be held by alien races, especially for the vast majority of people in the non-magical world who do not use the Galleon system, fundamentally rejecting an inconvenient currency is much easier than accepting it.
Accompanied by Aylin's simple explanation, the great alchemist who had lived for hundreds of years almost immediately figured out Gringotts Wizarding Bank's thoughts. Even without this Veela hybrid, they would probably be trying to survive.
However…
Nicolas Flamel shook his head and pointed out the flaws in Aylin's plan without hesitation.
"The International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy is not just a decoration. Wizards will not allow Muggles to know of the existence of goblins."
"That's right, but the Statute of Secrecy actually has a very simple solution, but for so many years, not many people have realized this, or rather, no one would be crazy enough to think in this direction."
Aylin slightly pursed her lips, revealing a subtle and adorable smile.
"A very simple… crazy… direction?"
Nicolas Flamel was a little curious, frowning as he looked around the room, his gaze finally landing on an old guy who was chuckling stupidly and taking a back seat. He suddenly widened his eyes subconsciously and exclaimed.
"You don't plan to… overthrow the entire International Confederation of Wizards, and even the entire wizarding world?!"
As long as the International Confederation of Wizards is overthrown, then the Statute of Secrecy will naturally be solved, but this is simply impossible. This is not a simple organization, it is even considered an aggregation of the magical ministries of various countries.
Nicolas Flamel widened his eyes and carefully examined everyone in the room.
Apart from him, the expressions on the faces of the other wizards hardly changed at all after hearing these words. This idea, which seemed almost insane and ignorant to him, seemed to have unknowingly become a consensus.
Aylin shrugged and replied calmly.
"Whether it's magic or science, these are our ways of exploring the truth of the world. We don't intend to be enemies with anyone, and we don't have any ambitions to overthrow the entire wizarding world. Magic is not omnipotent, and science is not insignificant, otherwise the Wizarding Confederation would not have been created back then. More than five hundred years have passed, and the wizarding world has been deliberately avoiding a possibility. Perhaps the most correct use of magic is to combine it with science, just like we did in ancient times."
Faced with the explanation of the half-Veela in front of him, Nicolas Flamel shook his head and quickly retorted.
"Wizards are wizards, and Muggles are Muggles. Maybe we can learn those knowledge, but Muggles will never understand the mysteries of magic. I tried it when I was studying alchemy hundreds of years ago, they can't learn it at all..."
"But if I remember correctly, they created modern chemistry and modern physics on the basis of alchemy. They found a power that wizards cannot understand in another way. If these are meaningless, then there wouldn't be flush toilets in Hogwarts now, and there wouldn't be magical cameras in the wizarding world."
Aylin interrupted Nicolas Flamel's words, tapping lightly on the table.
"Besides, I didn't say to replace the International Confederation of Wizards now. Before that, accumulate strength first, and subtly influence the world little by little - when the world becomes like me, everything after that is just a matter of course."
"You guys really dare to think..."
Nicolas Flamel shook his head and didn't argue here.
"Since you've all thought it through, then I have nothing to say or persuade. Anyway, among us, I'm the one with the most patience and time. If your final thoughts are shattered, don't expect me to go crazy with you."
"Then..."
After a slight pause, the old wizard's expression gradually became serious, and he asked softly, lost in thought.
"One last question, let's talk about what you said in the letter earlier - infinite life, infinite soul, the most suitable alchemical material in this world, the Special Containment Procedure sCp-17..."
This was also one of the key bargaining chips that prompted Nicolas Flamel to make up his mind to visit Hogwarts.
