章 122: Chapter 122 The Reason for Being Enslaved Forever

Hogsmeade, Lockhart's study.

In the originally dark study room, a circle of sparks suddenly appeared.

Immediately afterwards, Lockhart stepped forward with a small golden bird named Sunny sitting on his shoulder, followed by a house-elf, Coffy.

With Lockhart's gentle wave of his hand, the entire study, including the corridor and living room outside, lit up instantly.

Lockhart looked at Coffy in rags before him, sat on the chair, put Sunny on the desk next to him, and asked directly, "Coffy, tell me about your current situation and the magic you have mastered."

The timid Coffy immediately bent down, made a deep bow, then raised his head sharply and said loudly, "Master, Coffy used to be a house-elf of the Avery family. The only master now is you, and your happiness is the lifelong pursuit of Coffy."

"Coffy will fully obey all its master's commands."

Hearing this, Lockhart frowned slightly, but he also knew that this was the typical character of a house-elf, so he directly ordered, "Don't talk about that, Coffy. First, tell me about the magic you have mastered."

"Okay, Master." Coffy nodded quickly, and then replied loudly, "Master, currently, I have mastered the teleportation spell, the repelling spell, and the invisibility spell."

Hearing the series of magic spells Coffy had mastered, Lockhart raised his eyebrows. After waiting for Coffy to finish, he asked curiously, "Coffy, where did you learn magic?"

"Master, part of it was taught to me by my mother," Coffy replied loudly. "And part of it was learned naturally as I grew up."

"What's the approximate proportion of magic you've comprehended yourself?" Lockhart asked with interest.

Coffy frowned and fiddled with his fingers. After a while, he said with some hesitation, "Master, I have mastered a total of 27 kinds of elf magic, about 70% of it."

What!

Hearing Coffy's answer, Lockhart's heart seemed to stir up a thousand waves.

In an instant, he knew why the house-elves were so oppressed.

The potential is too strong.

Although 27 types of magic may not sound like much, ordinary young wizards can master thirty or forty types after training.

However, students have been trained, and even some young wizards still have difficulty mastering it after years of training.

House-elves, on the other hand, are naturally capable of mastering it.

What does that mean?

A huge threat!

To ancient wizards, even though house-elves sought peace, their potential was sin.

And being weak is the original sin.

Ancient wizards would not let go of any race that might threaten their status.

Especially a race that they could not defeat themselves.

Lockhart asked himself, if he had discovered the potential of house-elves, he would not have let it go.

And the reason why the ancient wizards didn't exterminate them was probably because they saw the potential of house-elves.

No wonder they were so cruel.

At this time, Lockhart's eyes looked at Coffy a little differently, full of a desire to study him.

Being born with the ability to master magic has absolutely nothing to do with blood.

But soon, he suppressed his desire for research.

He is not in a hurry. Coffy is now his house-elf. According to the character of house-elves, he will never refuse any request he makes.

Even if it means suicide!

Lockhart then asked Coffy a few more questions.

Coffy answered truthfully one by one, and Lockhart's understanding of Coffy deepened.

The deeper the understanding, the more pleasantly surprised he felt. This purchase was indeed the right one.

Coffy's fighting ability is no weaker than that of ordinary wizards, and the most important thing is his loyalty, which there is no need to question.

The thoughts, education, and instincts he received all spoke of loyalty—loyalty to his master.

At the thought of this, Lockhart's eyes flashed with excitement.

Looking at Coffy in front of him, Lockhart felt more and more joyful. Then he gently waved his wand and pointed at the rags Coffy was wearing.

In an instant, the originally gray and even dirty rags began to turn into clean black, then quickly transformed and expanded, covering Coffy's entire body.

Finally, Coffy appeared in front of Lockhart, dressed in a black suit, somewhat like a Gringotts goblin.

Seeing this, Lockhart nodded with satisfaction. He still had certain requirements for appearance, and he really couldn't stand Coffy following him in rags every day and doing things for him.

Bang bang bang!

When Coffy looked at his very neat clothes, he felt a little frightened, so he kept hitting his head on the ground with loud bangs.

While smashing it, he shouted loudly, "Master, Coffy is wrong, please don't drive Coffy away. Coffy obeys the master's orders."

"Coffy doesn't want to wear this outfit and wants to wear the original one."

Looking at Coffy's actions, Lockhart frowned slightly, sighed, and directly ordered, "Coffy, raise your head, don't move."

Upon hearing Lockhart's order, Coffy, who was banging his head on the ground, immediately raised his head and remained motionless, fully following Lockhart's instructions.

Seeing such Coffy, Lockhart felt a little headache.

House-elves have some really good habits, such as being loyal, not betraying, obeying orders, taking pride in working, and being ashamed of laziness.

But some of their traditions over the years have been criticized.

For example, just now Coffy kept banging his head on the ground or wall, self-harming.

This made Lockhart quite uncomfortable.

He wasn't much of a Holy Mother, but he simply felt that it would be very difficult to communicate with such a house-elf.

Just changing clothes suddenly triggered their tradition of wearing rags, and they began to mutilate themselves.

If he were an outsider, he would be able to watch the show as if it were nothing. After all, watching the excitement is not a big deal.

But now Coffy is his subordinate and doing nothing would be a headache.

After thinking for a while, he said directly with a commanding tone, "Coffy, you will wear this outfit from now on. Keep it clean and don't embarrass me."

"You have to remember that I am a professor at Hogwarts. When I go out, your dress and behavior will affect my reputation."

"So, I order you to keep your clothes clean from now on, and don't bang your head against the ground or wall."

Upon hearing Lockhart's order, Coffy's wide eyes immediately burst into tears, and he shouted with gratitude, "Thank you, master, thank you, master."

"As long as the master orders it, Coffy will definitely do it."

In house-elf tradition or worldview, clean clothes mean that the owner is disgusted with them.

That's why Coffy's reaction just now was so intense.

But Lockhart's explanation was different.

For Coffy, who had been taught that his master's orders were greater than the sky since he was a child, he immediately abandoned the so-called tradition.

In particular, Lockhart specifically mentioned that his actions would affect his fame.

He instantly knew how important fame was to his master.

For house-elves, there is only one thing they pursue in life, and that is to please their master and increase their status in their master's heart.

This is why Lockhart believes that ancient wizards' methods were a bit ruthless.

Then, Lockhart looked at Coffy in front of him and fell into deep thought, hesitating a little. Should Coffy participate in tonight's plan?

After all, it had just been less than 24 hours.

After thinking about it, he made a decision in his heart.

So he closed his eyes slightly and felt the mark he left on the goblin's body in Gringotts.

章 123: Chapter 123 Lockhart’s Zero Dollar Purchase Plan

Deep in Gringotts, the Goblin's Apartment.

As the place that manages the wealth of the entire British wizarding world, Gringotts always has a large number of goblins present. Due to their greedy nature, many goblins live directly in Gringotts, enjoying the joy of wandering through the vast treasure vault every day.

Over time, Gringotts has become not only a workplace for goblins but also a place where they live. Deep in Gringotts, every goblin has his own little room. Some goblins work during the day and rest at night, while others do the opposite. In short, Gringotts operates 24 hours a day, continuously absorbing the wealth of the entire wizarding world.

The goblin that took Lockhart to his vault typically works during the day and rests at night. So at night, he returned to his apartment and very excitedly put the tip he got from Lockhart today into his treasured money jar. He then re-counted the amount accumulated in the money jar. After finding that there was no problem, he happily hugged the jar and lay on the bed, slowly falling into a deep sleep.

At the same time, far away in Hogsmeade, Lockhart used his spiritual perception to lock onto the mark he left on the goblin. He nodded secretly, a thoughtful look on his face. Then, for the sake of Coffy in front of him, he directly ordered, "Coffy, you will follow me later. Don't talk. Just do whatever I say."

"Okay, Master," Coffy nodded so excitedly that his head almost hit the ground. But it seemed that Coffy also knew that Lockhart didn't like him to act this way, so he quickly put his head away, widened his eyes, and looked at Professor Lockhart expectantly.

Seeing this, Lockhart didn't say anything. He held the Sling Ring and quickly drew a circle based on the position of the mark. In less than two or three seconds, a sparking portal appeared in front of Lockhart. He went directly through the portal with Coffy. As for Sunny, who wanted to follow him, Lockhart was worried about something happening, so he just let him stay in the house and wait.

When Sunny looked at the large amount of food placed in front of him, he had no problem with his owner being busy with his own business while he enjoyed his feast.

Lockhart entered the goblin's apartment. Looking at the goblin who was lying on the bed, holding the jar and falling asleep, the corner of his mouth twitched. This was the first time he saw someone—no, a goblin—sleeping and hugging a jar of money. Feeling the large amounts of Sickles and Galleons hidden in the jar, Lockhart was once again speechless about the goblin's money-grubbing nature.

Then, "Imperio!" Lockhart waved his wand and cast the Imperius Curse directly on the sleeping goblin. The goblin had no sense of defense at all. In an instant, a green light emerged from the tip of Lockhart's wand and quickly shot towards the goblin's head.

Boom! After being hit by the spell, the goblin's body stiffened, his hands naturally dropped, and the jar placed on his chest fell onto the bed with a thud. However, due to the good sealing of the jar, the Galleons and Sickles did not fall out.

The goblin, who was sleeping, suddenly felt that he had come to a very warm place, like heaven, and was completely addicted to it.

"Nott, wake up!" Lockhart ordered directly. As if being called by something, the goblin Nott stood up in a daze, staring at Lockhart as if he were a piece of wood. When Coffy behind him saw this scene, surprise flashed in his eyes, but he was not particularly panicked. The Avery family, like other pure-blood families, had used the three Unforgivable Curses. As long as one didn't use them in public, even if someone did catch them, with the power of a pure-blood family, they could get away with it. It's just a matter of how much it costs.

"Tell me, where is Bellatrix's vault?" Lockhart ordered directly. Besides wanting to make a fortune this time, he came to Gringotts for the sake of Voldemort's most loyal subordinate's vault—Bellatrix Lestrange. He clearly remembered that Bellatrix's vault contained all the wealth of the Lestrange family and Voldemort's Horcrux—the Hufflepuff Cup! This time, he could definitely make a fortune.

As his thoughts turned, Lockhart heard goblin Nott reply, "Sir, it's the underground vault No. 472."

"Can you open the vault?" Lockhart asked. Coffy behind him saw this scene and said nothing, even having a flash of excitement in his eyes.

"No," Goblin Nott shook his head and said, "That place belongs to the bottom of the vault and I am not responsible for managing it. And the keys are managed by specialized goblins."

Hearing Nott's answer, Lockhart was a little disappointed, but he didn't care. This situation was what he expected. Then he directly ordered, "Draw a map from my vault to the underground vault No. 472."

As he spoke, Lockhart waved his wand, and a piece of parchment and feathers appeared in front of Nott. After hearing Lockhart's order, Nott picked up the parchment and quill, walked to the table next to him, and started drawing.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Lockhart's mouth curled up slightly. Turning around, he said to Coffy behind him, "Coffy, I'll give you two tasks."

"Okay, Master," Coffy danced excitedly after hearing his master's order. "Coffy guarantees that the mission will be completed."

For Coffy, being able to participate in such an important task just after joining his master showed that the master valued him. For a house-elf, this was the greatest honor.

Seeing the somewhat excited movements of Coffy, Lockhart frowned slightly but did not say anything. He ordered, "Two things must be done well."

"First thing, keep watching this goblin for a while. If he shows any signs of waking up, knock him out immediately."

"Okay, Coffy understands," Coffy nodded heavily.

"The second thing, wait a moment, we are going to another vault. All you have to do is take good care of my body."

"Don't worry, Master, Coffy will never let anyone touch you."

Seeing Coffy's quick nod, Lockhart smiled with satisfaction. Then, he watched quietly as the goblin Nott drew a map leading to Bellatrix's vault. Soon, Nott placed a map in front of Lockhart. Looking at a large number of black lines of different thicknesses and various markers, Lockhart casually asked Nott to explain the entire map.

Nott pointed to a point on the map and introduced, "Sir, this is the location of your vault." Then following a thick black line, he continued, "This is the route to Bellatrix's vault. In the middle, you will pass Vault 820 and then turn a corner..."
