Beside the shiny bronze door of Gringotts, stood an elf wearing a scarlet uniform with gold trim.

He was looking at John.

John was also looking at him.

But compared to John's expressionless face.

The goblin's face was full of doubts.

He didn't understand why the wizard in front of him kept staring at him.

Could it be that his pants were unzipped?

The goblin just wanted to lower his head to check, but John had already led Alice into the bronze door.

The goblin quickly calmed down and bowed to John and Alice.

Although he despises wizards extremely, these are the rules of Gringotts and the wizarding world and cannot be taken lightly.

After passing through the first bronze door, a second silver door appeared in front of John and Alice.

Warning slogans are clearly engraved on both doors.

Warning everyone who enters the gate not to covet the treasures in the underground vault.

Otherwise the consequences will be unbearable.

But neither John nor Alice looked down upon it.

Because the purpose of the two people coming this time was not good.

After passing through the silver door, two more goblins bowed to them and led them into a tall marble hall.

There were about a hundred goblins sitting on high stools behind a row of long counters. Some used copper scales to weigh coins, some used eyepieces to examine gems, and scribbled entries in a large ledger. There were countless doors in the hall.

, leading to different places respectively, and many fairies guide visitors in and out of these doors.

John and Alice walked to one of the empty counters.

"What are you here for?"

The goblin behind the counter said impatiently.

He was sitting high up, looking down at John and Alice, still rubbing a ruby ​​the size of a red-hot coal in his hand, looking annoyed at being disturbed.

John said expressionlessly:

"I need to rent a vault."

"We have various levels of vaults, which one do you want?"

"Superlative."

Upon hearing this, the goblin's hands froze.

Gringotts is not the same as a regular Muggle bank.

Its main business is actually safe deposit box and vault rental business.

Customers can store their belongings in their own rented safes and vaults and access them at any time.

Gringotts charges based on the size and security level of safes and vaults.

And the rent for the most high-end vaults is very expensive!

So after reacting, the goblin's attitude improved.

I saw him throwing the ruby ​​​​in his hand casually, forcing out a fake smile and saying:

"Guest, we need you to provide proof of identity, including your name and wand. We also need your family seal to sign the contract...if you have one."

John nodded, first wrote down the name Uche Kate, then took out the wand that Michael had given him before, and used magic to print the name 'Kate Family' on a piece of white paper.

Heraldry.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Kate, we are helping you process the materials. Also, what is the purpose of renting the vault? In addition, you must also accept our comprehensive body search."

"Search? What? Gringotts in China still has rules about exploring guests' privacy?"

"This is not to pry into the privacy of guests, it is just a small way to ensure safety. You know, the world outside is not peaceful recently. Although the criminal named Michael Townley was arrested. But John Shafiq

The villains escaped! In addition, there is Sirius Black! They may attack Gringotts at any time..."

"I have heard of such a rule in France."

"France? Sir, are you from France?"

The goblin looked at John in surprise.

John, on the other hand, said nothing and stared at him with some dissatisfaction.

This made the goblin realize that he had made a very stupid mistake.

The Mr. Kate in front of me has always spoken in English from the beginning to now, but there is a faint "French flavor" in every word.

If the leprechaun had been to Jersey, he would know.

Due to geographical reasons, many of the indigenous residents on the island have a slight "French flavor" in their accents.

It's a pity that he has never been there.

It was precisely because of this that he had some wonderful misunderstandings.

At this moment, Alice took John's arm and said in French:

"Honey, let's go back! I don't want to be searched by them!"

John turned his head to look, the expression on his face seemed to be somewhat moved.

This scene in the eyes of the goblin made him a little anxious.

You know, the fact that John, or rather Mr. Kate, has a family coat of arms is enough to prove that he comes from an ancient pure-blood family.

And the fact that he had to rent a top-grade vault from the very beginning proved that his family property was quite rich.

The most important thing is that the couple in front of them are obviously from France!

It's not just the Ministry of Magic that has been corrupted by French goblins.

The goblins of Gringotts in the United Kingdom have long been absorbed by their French relatives.

To them, the French goblins are just big brothers who can bring them a lot of profits!

As a result, even French wizards became their honored guests!

At this critical moment when the French goblins are using Gringotts as a middleman to deliver benefits to the Ministry of Magic, they really dare not offend anyone from France.

For fear that it will affect the benefits they can get from it.

Even if Kate is not a goblin, but a human wizard!

"Wait! Sir!"

The goblin said in a panic.

Seeing that John really planned to take Alice away, the goblin finally climbed out from behind the counter and stood in front of John.

Without the blessing of the stool, the goblin was much shorter than John, so he could only look up at John.

But the goblin wasn't unhappy at all.

On the contrary, at this moment, his face was filled with a flattering smile, he rubbed his hands and said:

"Mr. Kate, this is a misunderstanding!"

John asked calmly:

"So, you won't search me now?"

"Of course! You are our VIP at Gringotts! We at Gringotts are willing to help you open a VIP channel so that you can complete your business as quickly as possible."

As the goblin spoke, he took out a stack of parchment and wrote a few words quickly, and then said, "Actually... the procedure has been completed! Nose ring! Come and take our French distinguished guests to their top-level vault!"

"

The goblin shouted loudly.

In particular, the pronunciation of the word "top grade treasury" has been emphasized.

This caused many guests and goblins who were doing business in the hall to subconsciously look at John and Alice with surprise and envy.

And Alice also showed a proud and proud look very naturally.

As for John.

Although his expression didn't change much.

But the aloof attitude he has always maintained is exactly in line with the image of a high-ranking noble.

This made the goblin relax a little.

After a while, the goblin named Nose Ring walked over quickly.

At first, the goblin gave the nose ring a few words of advice with a cold face. The way the nose ring looked at John and Alice instantly changed.
