Goblin Legal Counsel? IRS system?

Is this... a full restart of the stalled Gringotts Rise plan?

Goblin Douglas suddenly raised his head, looking excitedly at the Goblin Queen sitting on the prayer platform directly in front, his eyes bursting with eager desire and uncontrollable excitement.

However, his long experience as the head of the venture capital department still allowed Douglas to restrain his emotions.

Douglas knew very well that although it seemed like the same plan, the degree of perfection, control, execution, and scope behind it had undergone earth-shattering changes, and the ultimate goal would naturally not be purely for the rise of the goblins.

Rules and finance are the capital upon which Gringotts goblins rely for survival.

As the head of Gringotts and the Goblin Queen, if Ellena simply allows the goblins to participate in this project, then for the goblins and Gringotts, it would be a long-term and stable future—undoubtedly, this is the trend of the future.

"IRS..." Dumbledore repeated softly, frowning slightly, "If the Ministry of Magic asks, I will mention it briefly."

He always felt that this tax agency was not as harmless as the white-haired ball made it out to be.

"As for the Goblin Legal Counsel you mentioned earlier..."

Dumbledore's gaze swept over the face of the goblin not far away, and he shook his head calmly, "I'm sorry, as the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot Wizarding Court, I believe that wizards' affairs should be decided by wizards—the law is a channel for maintaining social justice, whether it is ten Knuts or ten thousand Galleons, it is the same for Wizengamot members."

A direct rejection? Ellena's eyes flickered.

This was slightly different from the script she had originally imagined.

You should know that Dumbledore is one of the few wizards in the magical world who is proficient in Goblin language and has cracked some Goblin magic. She originally thought that the old man would be a pioneer of racial equality, but unexpectedly—as expected of the Dark Lord who once said that phrase.

For the greater good, the life creeds of Dumbledore and Grindelwald have never changed.

However, in this case, the follow-up plans and statements may need to be adjusted accordingly. The allocation of authority for goblins and house-elves needs to be further reduced, allowing more wizards to participate from a lateral perspective.

After thinking for a few seconds, Ellena thought for a moment and slowly said.

"Then, a Goblin lawyer should be possible... not as a judge, but as a plaintiff or defendant."

"Well, according to the current law, it is indeed possible, if the defendant applies to the court in advance."

Dumbledore shrugged noncommittally.

It has to be said that this little girl Ellena sometimes has an admirable persistence.

Especially when it comes to some unprecedented strange things, it is even more so.

However, Dumbledore does not believe that, with the arrogance of the wizards and the social environment in today's magical world, how many people would choose to hire a goblin to defend themselves, rather than relying on their own wisdom to prove their innocence to the court.

Glancing at the old wizard's perfunctory expression, Ellena rolled her eyes imperceptibly.

Social opinion? Racial discrimination? Or the superiority of human wisdom?

Even if Dumbledore didn't say it, she could vaguely guess some from the old man's eyes and tone.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore may never understand that all these things are luxurious privileges that can only be enjoyed when life is worry-free. For more comfortable and intuitive benefits, humans are a very easy creature to compromise.

"Very well, then let's prepare according to this."

Ellena slightly changed her sitting posture, pondering and said softly.

"Douglas, split the members of Gringotts' risk control department and establish a legal department dedicated to serving Hogwarts."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have relevant work experience. In this regard, we can invite some professionals from outside the magical world to provide pre-job guidance and training... Destiny Group is very good at inviting experts, they won't leak secrets, and they are very polite."

Looking at Dumbledore who wanted to say something but hesitated, Ellena explained with a smile, and continued.

"Kurt, please follow up on this matter for the time being. Find a few new faces to go abroad, and go to a Japanese company called Nintendo and an American company called Disney, respectively, and try to invite the core members of their legal departments to work in our Hogwarts Legal Department—magic should be very attractive."

"Wait, companies outside the magical world? Don't tell me it's some strange military industry again."

Dumbledore's face changed slightly, and the big ship still floating in the sky above Hogwarts instantly appeared in his mind.

Looking at Dumbledore, who was sitting beside her with a worried expression, Ellena shook her head and explained with incomparable seriousness.

"Don't worry, Professor Dumbledore. Nintendo is a game company, and Disney is an entertainment company with cartoons and children's playgrounds. Precisely because they are ordinary companies that mainly cater to children outside the magical world, I think their legal department's philosophy and style will be suitable for the future Hogwarts Legal Department."

"You can learn more about these two companies on your own, or you can look at the information I've compiled later."

"Companies for children outside the magical world? If that's the case, then it's not impossible."

Dumbledore frowned, thought for a while, and added an extra sentence.

"And one more thing... the number of people cannot be too large, and it must be ensured that they are willing."

"Don't worry, we will try to keep it under ten people. As for the staffing, will it still be in accordance with Hogwarts' talent introduction?"

Ellena nodded quickly and replied in a relaxed tone.

It is foreseeable that in the process of establishing the huge academy city prototype centered on Hogwarts in the future, friction and disputes with the Ministry of Magic or other merchants will inevitably occur, and persuading people with reason is undoubtedly quite necessary.

In this regard, the elites of the strongest legal department on the planet, plus the goblins of Gringotts, are obviously a very high-quality solution.

Of course, these two industries are also within the future sphere of influence of the Destiny Conglomerate.

In a sense, it can now be regarded as the preliminary pre-investigation stage before the complete merger.

Dumbledore thought carefully for a while and didn't find too many dangerous places, so he nodded slowly.

"Okay."

The area around Hogwarts in the new semester seems to be getting lively...

The first Dark Lord looked thoughtfully at Dumbledore and Ellena, his gaze lingering on the little ahoge that was shaking happily on the white-haired ball's head. Although he didn't know what this little girl was thinking, it was definitely not that simple...

But no matter what, as an ordinary Hogwarts Castle administrator and substitute professor, his few remaining pleasures now, apart from tasting Ellena's delicacies, is watching her change the world little by little—if he could also see his old friend and old rival being frustrated, that would be even better.

Grindelwald, who never had any children, now finally felt a little bit of the joy of watching his own mischievous child cause trouble everywhere.

On the other hand, in the past year or so, Grindelwald has also discovered that the speed at which Ellena leaves her mark on the world and promotes change far exceeds his expectations, but every time he thinks carefully, he always feels that everything is traceable.

Whether it is finance, food, sports, farming, or magical learning, there is an invisible trajectory running through it from beginning to end.

And as he gradually understood the non-magical world, he still understood the name of that trajectory.

In the mouths of Muggles, it is usually called:

"Science!"

Grindelwald is no stranger to this word. In the past few decades, he has always known that this is how those Muggles explore the world, understand the world, and change the world.

According to the original view of the magical world, magic and science should be two distinct paths.

Most of the wizards who have studied deeply in the non-magical world will experience a decline in their magical strength, and at the same time, what they pass back can give back to or promote the progress of magic is also pitifully small.

In most cases, what wizards need are just some finished Muggle industrial creations. After simply understanding what role they can play, they use magical means to make corresponding transformations—mainly to solve the energy drive problem related to "electricity". Learning more Muggle knowledge does not seem to be of much necessity to the magical world.

However, Ellena's appearance has changed this traditional understanding.

After so many unconventional magical battles, after the Gringotts War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, Grindelwald became more and more expectant of the future.

Ellena's entry point between magic and science is different from what he imagined.

And on the other hand, although he is not particularly willing to admit it, the development of the non-magical world is indeed much faster than the magical world today. This is not only reflected in the material and knowledge fields, but more importantly, it is presented in ideology and social forms.

Grindelwald sighed while constantly paying attention to Dumbledore's reaction.

In order to ensure that Ellena's ideas can proceed smoothly, according to the agreement between the two Dark Lords, his main task today is to restrain Dumbledore and actively introduce the follow-up layout for Ellena in the event that Dumbledore does not respond.

Outside of this time, he only needs to watch quietly from the side and not express any opinions.

In exchange, Ellena finally persuaded her stubborn priest father to agree to Grindelwald adopting Ellena under the name of Theresa Apocalypse, officially becoming Ellena's legal "adoptive grandfather."

For Grindelwald, creating a "Little Otto Apocalypse" was simply easy.

In European countries, it is not uncommon for a father and son to have the same name.

Although the accident of poor Little Otto's sudden death in the second week after the adoption, not many people would pay attention to it except to attribute it to the fickleness of fate. In short, all the results were good... although the process was a bit tortuous.

As for the spouse column, Grindelwald quietly registered the name "Albus Apocalypse."

"Even if Albus finds out later, it shouldn't matter much..."

Grindelwald's eyes flashed cunningly, and he was slightly distracted.

Just then, he heard the sound of the prayer platform in front being tapped lightly.

Ellena jumped nimbly off the prayer platform, which was more than a meter high, and said softly.

"If there are no other questions, then this meeting is over—the time and place of the next plenary meeting will still be conveyed to you by the phoenix Fawkes. Apart from that, any communication method is invalid."

"Your Majesty the Queen, your will shall be unimpeded."

Goblin Douglas stood up again and respectfully bowed to his chest, and immediately afterwards, the wizards of Destiny and the house-elves of Hogwarts also expressed their respect for Ellena in turn, and then disappeared into the church on the shores of Loch Lomond.
