Chapter 38 - Chapter 38 First Alliance

"Alliance with Harry? Why?" Question McGonagall

Rodrig look at Harry with a smile and said, "would you believe me if I said I want this alliance is because you save me?"

"No, the matter of forming an alliance with your race should be a big matter so saving you shouldn't be enough to form an alliance with the goblin race" said Harry and then ask, "is it that I'm Harry or I'm Dumbledore's disciple?"

"It's not none of those reason" said Rodrig and his face becomes serious "what most people don't know is that goblin is very sensitive to detecting aura. When I met you, I sense a kingly aura around you"

"Oh, you are talking about this" Harry released a little bit of his Conqueror Haki.

Rodrig got excited when he felt the aura and said, "so I wasn't wrong, it was you." Then he pulls out a lock box and said "this box contains an inheritance of an ancient goblin race, but it can't be open because it was seal by a lost spell. After researching the spell, I managed find the spell in an ancient book. The book said the spell can't be lifted, useless it was open by a "born king". I tried already ask kings and princesses from other countries, but they can't open it"

"So, you are hoping I can open it?" Ask Harry, making Rodrig nod.

"What are your plans after open the box?" Ask McGonagall.

"If you concern about another goblin war, you have nothing to worry about. I can swear an oath of loyalty to Mr Potter before he opens the box" said Rodrig

McGonagall nod and explain to Harry the "oath of loyalty" to Harry "this oath is a spell similar to Blood Bond but the person or magical creature will have to stay loyal to it's master even after it's master death and if he break the oath they will die a slow painful death while their soul get torture for eternity"

"I see," said Harry. Then he looks at Rodrig and release Conqueror Haki "but why should I help you?

Rodrig's eye become frightened and ask, "what do you mean?"

"All I'm hearing is that, if I open the box, I would help your goblin race and then you will be my loyal servant" said Harry "there is a lot of issues with this deal"

"Do you want more?" Ask Rodrig.

"No, I just want to point out something. You said you want to make an alliance with the goblin race and me but you're the only one swearing the oath. After getting the inheritance, they all can just betray you and start another war." Said Harry

"I am the Goblin spokesman, and you have my word that they will listen to me" said Rodrig.

Harry looks at Rodrig and said "I will open this box, but you will form your own clan of goblin that will be loyal to me. Those who join the clan will have to swear an oath of loyalty and will be able to see the content inside the box"

Rodrig thought about the deal and then got up to shake hands with Harry "I agree"

"Happy what is the Stormbringer's Bloodline and Lightning Element?"

"Not too bad"

"*ahem* Mr Potter are you ready to open the box" said Rodrig, snapping Harry out his thoughts.

"Sure, how do I open it?" Ask Harry

Rodrig hands Harry the box and said "you just have to release your kingly aura while opening it"

Harry did what Rodrig said and unlocked the box. He was about to open it but then he looks at Rodrig. Rodrig understood what Harry meant and start to swear his oath.

"I, Rodrig "the Spokesman" swear to follow Harry Potter and obey all his commands until death and if I break this oath my soul will suffer for all eternity" said Rodrig and then he cut his hand to let his blood drip out. The blood form a seal and then the seal appears on Rodrig.

After the oath, Harry hands the box to Rodrig. Rodrig look at the box excitedly and then he opens it. His eyes become shocked.

"This can't be" said Rodrig

"What is it?" Ask Harry

"It can't be. It's, it's, empty" Rodrig fell onto his knee "I dedicated my life into open this box and it's empty. My life, my family, and my clan hopes..."

McGonagall saw the broken-hearted goblin on his knee and felt bad. She can feel how much hope he had for the inheritance, but it was all shattered.

"What are you doing moping around? You still got me," said Harry.

"Mr Potter, I appreciate your help but as a child I don't think you can help anymore" said Rodrig "the goblin race is declining, and our generation is getting weaker. This box was supposed to help us rise again but now it's hopeless"

"As my loyal follower you should trust me and maybe the box did help your goblin race since it brought you to me" said Harry then looks around and ask "can we go to a more open space in Gringotts and can we pick up some friends. I think they waited long enough"

"Sure" said Rodrig and they left the room to pick up the Granger.

When Hermione saw Harry, she asks what happen. Harry explained to her the detail about happen and told her to follow them to see something. Rodrig brought them deep underground. They finally reach an open space.

"This is the goblin training ground but no one come here anymore" said Rodrig "ever since the last war, most goblin gave up arms and become businessman or clerks"

"So why did you bring us here?" Ask McGonagall.

Harry stretches out his hand and 10-feet statue appeared in front of Harry. The statue is a blue goblin dressed ornately in leathers and robes. He is tusked, tall, and has white eyes with a crown of bone on his head. Everyone saw the scene with amazement.

Rodrig look at the statue and feel something from within calling out for him.
