Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 307 The insidious and cunning nobles!
The goblin's expression froze.

The magic array he got for the poachers was indeed not the best. It was a refurbished product that had been repaired after use!
But the guy who sold it to him said there would be no problem using it and it would be just like new.

The fairy said hurriedly: "Of course not, what I gave you is a good thing! Those two cats can walk out, they can walk out..."

The fairy was so anxious that he actually thought of a reason.

"It's definitely because they are just ordinary creatures, so the magic array's confinement has no effect on them!"

The more he spoke, the more confident he became, and he kept affirming, "Yes, it must be like this!"

The other poachers accepted it with a grain of salt.

Even if you don't accept it, now is not the time to make a fuss about it.

Everyone fell silent, thinking about how to escape.

With so many magical creatures staring at them, they cannot get out of the magic array. Once they go out, they will definitely be torn to pieces.

But how to let them go?

Pay money to redeem?
A poacher was thinking this, but when he met the angry eyes of the fire dragon keeper, which seemed to emit sparks, he immediately gave up the idea.

No, not possible.

Those people won't ask for money!
The experienced poacher quietly approached the goblin and whispered, "You are a goblin from Gringotts. Will Gringotts come to rescue you?"

After thinking it over, the only way to survive now is to go to Gringotts.

The goblin denied it without a second thought, "No, I'm not from Gringotts!"

The poacher said anxiously: "Are you still going to hide your identity at this time? We will definitely be caught by them."

The goblin showed a hint of hesitation, but still said with certainty: "I am indeed not from Gringotts, but I also have a way to get out."

It calculated the time when the nobles would arrive, and said confidently, "We have hunted these two dragons, and someone will rescue us when the time comes."

The monster thought that it would be no problem to protect it alone, but it might be difficult to protect a group of people.

But I definitely can’t tell the truth now.

The poacher frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What is your trump card?"

The fairy said firmly, "I can't tell you now."

When the poachers saw it like this, they couldn't help but feel relieved.

Fairies never do anything without confidence.

They are insidious and cunning, but extremely trustworthy, otherwise they would not have opened Gringotts.

It seems that this goblin has a very powerful trump card.

At the same time, the noble lords who were placed hopes by the fairies.

At Malfoy Manor.

Today was a rare cloudy day. Lucius was on leave from the Ministry of Magic and returned to the manor to leisurely enjoy afternoon tea. The house-elf butler had prepared everything for him.

Narcissa appeared in a rare and leisurely manner, enjoying this wonderful time with her husband.

Not far away, a series of "ho ho ho" sounds were heard. Draco was holding a sword and fighting against his personal swordsmanship master.

Learning swordsmanship was the task Lucius gave Draco this summer.

The heir courses have been almost completed. Lucius feels that in order for his son to develop comprehensively, he should also learn some etiquette related to the nobility.

And swordsmanship is a compulsory course for the nobility.

An elegant nobleman, his swordsmanship skills are naturally excellent.

Narcissa looked at Draco admiringly for a while and felt that her son was becoming more and more powerful.

"I didn't expect that he has such a high talent for swordsmanship. After less than a week of instruction, he is already able to fight back and forth with the teacher."

Lucius looked over, narrowed his eyes, and said slowly: "That's the swordsmanship master giving him some leeway, holding back his strength."

Narcissa curled her lips and was about to say something when Lucius spoke again:

"But Draco's talent in swordsmanship is indeed very good. When I was his age, I couldn't compare to him."

Narcissa raised a smile and drank a sip of black tea gracefully. Suddenly she thought of something and said, "I wonder if Lin Xia is doing well in Romania."

She complained, "Her parents are really awful. They stayed in the Amazon jungle and never came back, leaving their child behind."

Lucius said disapprovingly, "We'll be looking after them, so it doesn't matter if they're not here. They must have something more worthwhile to do in the Amazon. Besides, there's Lin Xia."

He paused and sighed slightly: "Why isn't he a child of our Malfoy family?"

Narcissa gave him a coquettish look, "I don't have the ability to have another child!"

Lucius was stunned, he didn't have such an idea!

However, when he saw Narcissa's smiling expression, he immediately stopped talking and decided not to say anything.

Narcissa asked curiously, "By the way, we received a letter from Romania a few days ago. Was it sent to us by Lin Xia? Why did she only send it to you?"

Lucius's eyes flashed with disdain, "That letter was not sent by Lin Xia, but by a goblin."

"Fairy?"

Narcissa frowned, she didn't have a good sense of this creature.

Goblins usually gathered at Gringotts. Every time she met them, they would smile at her fawningly. Their big eyes seemed full of calculations, as if they wanted to squeeze every last copper knut out of people.

Even though the Malfoy family was treated as guests of honor by the goblins, she still didn't like it.

"Why would a goblin send you a letter? Is Gringotts organizing some kind of event? No, wasn't that letter sent from Romania?"

Lucius nodded and said, "Gringotts sent goblins to Romania and said they had captured a dragon and invited me to attend the dragon auction."

"A fire dragon?" Narcissa raised her eyebrows and said with interest, "That's fine. I've always wanted to have a fire dragon as a pet!"

Lucius raised his chin, his grey eyes shone with a cold metallic luster, and he said slowly:

"Do you know why Lin Xia keeps going to Romania?"

Narcissa shook her head. "Maybe she likes that place. It is said that there is a lush magical forest there with many magical plants. She went there with the head of Hufflepuff last year."

Lucius raised his eyes and looked at Draco who was training not far away.

Draco was fighting with his teacher till he was sweating profusely, his cheeks were red, and his strong body was revealed in every move.

Unconsciously, Draco became more and more heroic.

He said, "I specifically asked Draco and found out that Lin Xia once saved a gem dragon in front of Gringotts."

As a noble, Narcissa was deeply impressed by the theft of Gringotts' guard dragon.

When the dragon escaped, she was worried about the family's property stored in Gringotts.

She remembered clearly that the dragon that escaped from Gringotts at that time was the Gem Dragon.

Narcissa's eyes widened slightly, and she took a deep breath. "Could it be that..."

Lucius nodded, "That's it."

Narcissa responded quickly: "Then you can't go to Romania."

Her family has a good relationship with the Lin family. Since Lin Xia likes dragons, then she won't raise one. Why should the child have any objections because of this matter? Lucius: "I think so too. And I heard from Draco that the reason why Lin Xia went to Romania was that the gem dragon was fostered in the fire dragon breeding farm."

Narcissa raised an eyebrow. "Those poachers are mortal enemies of the Dragon Farm!"

She suddenly thought of something, "The fire dragon that the goblin hunted was poached, right?"

Lucius reminded gracefully, "Of course, since the Ministry of Magic introduced the Dragon Protection Act, no one can hunt dragons."

Narcissa patted her chest and said, "It's a good thing you didn't go, otherwise you would have had an argument with Lin Xia."

She knew that children had a stronger sense of justice, and since they were still young, there was no need to let them know the dark side of society so soon.
-
Outside the Magic Forest.

Lin Xia has already communicated with Fairy Bai and her younger brother.

The black cat is not a magical creature, but a spiritual cat. It is relatively smart, so it is not affected by the Dragon Binding Magic Array at all.

This Dragon Binding Magic Array has a nice name, but it is actually not mainly aimed at dragons, but at all magical creatures.

As long as you enter this magic array, your body will be unconsciously restrained and suppressed.

The black cat is an ordinary pet and is not affected by the magic array.

As for the White Fairy.

Lin Xia took a look at it and thought that it might be because its bloodline was special, which was why it ignored the Dragon Binding Magic Array.

I just don’t know what kind of magical creature’s bloodline can actually block the influence of the magic array.

If I have the chance in the future, I can check in this direction.

The White Fairy jumped onto Lin Xia's shoulder and whispered in her ear about her experiences and gains in the magic forest these days.

After hearing this, Lin Xia's mouth twitched slightly.

She looked at Fairy Bai speechlessly.

She finally understood why the magical creatures in the forest came out. Perhaps half of them were caused by the White Fairy and the Gem Dragon.

Lin Xia grabbed Fairy Bai's head and said, "Didn't you pick magic plants with me before? How come you don't know how to deal with them?"

Fairy Bai rubbed her neck against her palm.

"With the guardian beast watching us, how can we have time to pick the fruits?
What's more, the wind that the Gem Dragon blew was too rough, and its wind control ability was very poor. When the plants were blown out, they had already become bumpy. I simply didn't deal with it. It's better to get more."

Lin Xia said with a smile: "But with your method of picking, even if you pick it, the effect of the magic plant will be greatly reduced."

The White Fairy shook the bell around her neck, making a "ding-ling-ding-ling" sound.

Lin Xia suddenly had an idea.

She thought of the scene when she transformed into a dragon and saw an adult dragon using its life essence to stimulate the hatching of eggs, and her eyes flickered.

Wait, those dragons don’t know how to handle the magic plants meticulously. Their picking method is the same as that of the gem dragons, simple and rough.

Therefore, they use specific methods to extract the life essence from those magical plants so that the medicinal effects can be fully exerted.

And that processing method is actually no less effective than the magic plant medicine that has been carefully preserved!
Lin Xia couldn't help but laugh.

She plucked another handful of white fairy and said, "I just happened to think of a way to save the magic plants you picked. It's okay, just pick them. They won't be wasted."

Fairy Bai shook her head again.

The clear sound of bells continued to echo.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the magical creature was still standing motionless at the exit of the forest, but the poachers in the magic array could not stand it anymore.

They wiped their sweat, and as time went by, they felt less and less confident.

The poachers couldn't help but look at the goblin again and again.

This is their last trump card.

The goblin held his head high, and faced all the magical creatures with a confident smile on his face, not afraid at all.

Although its clothes were also soaked.

But the fairy firmly believed that it was because the sun was too strong that he got wet, not because he was afraid.

Until a portkey appeared out of thin air, and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic walked out of the portkey one by one, and fell on the outskirts of the magic forest at an extremely fast speed. Each of them moved agilely and majestically.

The poachers were completely panicked!
They disregarded their dignity and kept urging the goblin.

"Aren't you an employee of Gringotts? Why don't you send a distress signal to Gringotts?"

"Didn't you say someone would rescue us? The Aurors from the Ministry of Magic are coming!"

"Hurry up and get help!"

The fairy's forehead was covered with sweat, and she wiped the sweat with a delicate white silk handkerchief, but the handkerchief only looked good and was actually useless.

Not only does it not absorb sweat, it also makes its face wet.

"I, I...something's wrong. Why haven't the nobles arrived yet? I invited the nobles to come. They should be on their way!"

The goblin stared into the distance, as if he could stare out a flower.

"That must be the case. Those noble lords are on their way here, but they haven't arrived yet. Just wait a little longer, and they will definitely come..."

The poacher felt a pang in his heart when he heard this.

After they hunted dragons, the buyers were nobles, and they had dealings with nobles several times.

In their eyes, those nobles are not as good as the fairies in front of them!
At least the goblins were just greedy for money and put a damper on the price of the goods, but at least they would pay, but it was different for the nobles.

Some nobles don't even give you a penny and want to bury you!
Moreover, the credit of the nobles is worthless. They can turn against you at any time. They are no better than ordinary people.

"When did you invite them over?" someone asked hurriedly.

The goblin said in panic, "Two days? No, three days! It was three days ago when I wrote to them, inviting them to come to Romania!"

"Did they respond to you?"

The goblin trembled all over, as if struck by lightning, "No, no, they didn't reply."

It stammered, "But, but they are dragons. Who can resist the temptation of a dragon? They will definitely come! They will definitely..."

The Auror from the Ministry of Magic quickly handed over to Charlie to understand the situation.

As they talked, they stared sharply at the poachers not far away.

Although the situation at the scene was still unclear, this group of people felt very guilty when they saw them, and it was obvious that something was fishy!
Some poachers couldn't help it and quietly ran out of the magic array, trying to escape!

But there are magical creatures everywhere. No matter how fast human legs run, how can they compare to four legs?

The poacher was quickly stopped by the centaur, who raised both hooves high and kicked him hard in the chest.

With a slight click, the man's chest collapsed immediately.

The Ministry of Magic Aurors noticed the commotion but ignored it.

They already knew that these were all dragon hunters, and they deserved to be beaten to death!

There were people in the magic array who originally wanted to run out, but after seeing this scene, they no longer dared to run and could only huddle together trembling.
