Chapter 1,309
…
"Let's go too." Vanlin said, and Hermione nodded. The other Death Eater had left early, and now only Hermione and Ron were left in the hall with nothing to do.
"Ahem!" Hermione coughed twice, and the goblin sitting on the high platform noticed that there were other people.
"Mrs. Lestrange!" the goblin shouted, obviously shocked. "Oh my God! I... What can I do for you today?"
"I want to go to my vault." Hermione said arrogantly with her head held high.
But the old goblin seemed a little hesitant.
Vanlin looked around, not only Trevel was observing hesitantly, but several other goblins also raised their heads from their work and stared at Hermione.
"What's wrong again, Griphook?" Vanlin asked quietly while hiding aside.
"Maybe they added more procedures..." Griphook hesitated, "Gringotts rarely does this unless the property owner has special requirements."
Vanlin's heart skipped a beat, and now he couldn't help Hermione at all.
"Do you have... documents?" the goblin asked.
"Documents?... No one has ever asked me to check my documents!" Hermione said stubbornly. It would be fine to say that at any other time, but now...
"They know!" Griphook whispered in Vanlin's ear, "Someone must have warned them that someone would impersonate them!"
"Just use your wand, ma'am." The goblin said respectfully. He stretched out his hand with a slight tremor, which made Vanlin's mind flash a terrible thought. He felt that the goblins in Gringotts had learned that Bellatrix's wand had been stolen.
Looking closely, Vanlin could see that something was wrong with the goblin, because he was constantly winking at the guards behind him.
Although it was unclear how the goblin judged, it was obvious that they could not drag it on from here.
"Hurry up! Hurry up!" Griphook whispered in Vanlin's ear, "Use the Imperius Curse!"
Vanlin raised his wand under the invisibility cloak and pointed it at the old goblin. This was the first time in his life that he had used dark magic on an unrelated person, which made Vanlin feel a little uncomfortable.
Since learning Legilimency, Fanlin has almost never used similar black magic, but obviously, Legilimency can't solve the problem.
A strange feeling shot out from Fanlin's arm, and a tingling warm current seemed to flow through his brain, connecting him, the wand and the spell he cast through the wand core and texture. The goblin took Bellatrix's wand and examined it carefully, then said: "Ah, you changed to a new wand, Mrs. Lestrange!"
"What?" Hermione said, "No, no, this is mine..."
"New wand?" Treville came to the counter again, and all the goblins around were still looking at them. "But how did you buy it? The wand maker helped you..."
This made Fanlin feel a little annoyed. He suppressed his temper and started without thinking. He pointed his wand at Trevel and chanted "Soul Out of Body!" again.
"Oh, yes, I see." Trevel's eyes flashed, and he looked down at Bellatrix's wand and said, "Yes, it's beautiful. Does it work? I always think that wands need a little running-in, don't you think?"
Hermione looked very confused, but she didn't say anything in the face of the sudden change, which made Fanlin breathe a sigh of relief.
"Go to the vault!" Fanlin silently gave the old goblin an order, and immediately, the old goblin behind the counter clapped his hands and a young goblin came over.
"Bring me the key," he told the young goblin, who ran away in a gust of wind and soon brought back a feather bag full of clinking metal tools and handed it to his boss. "Well, please follow me, Mrs. Lestrange."
The old goblin jumped off the stool and disappeared from sight. "I'll take you to your vault!"
He appeared at the end of the counter and trotted over happily, the contents of the feather bag still clinking. Trevel stood still, his mouth wide open.
Ron was puzzled by Trevel's strange appearance.
"Wait... Borg!" Another goblin hurriedly turned around the counter and walked over. "We have rules." He bowed to Hermione and said, "Excuse me, ma'am, there are some special rules for the Lestrange family's vault." He whispered a few words to Borg eagerly, but the soul-stealing goblin pushed him away and was under the Imperius Curse. Vanlin's will was affecting the subject at all times.
"I know the rules. Mrs. Lestrange is going to her vault... It's an old family... Old customer... Please go this way..."
Then, Borg hurriedly walked to one of the many doors at the end of the hall with those jingling things.
Vanlin looked back at Trevel, only to see that he was still standing there at a loss. It would not work to leave Trevel here.
Valin tapped his wand and told Trevel to follow him meekly. They walked through the door and onto a rough stone path, illuminated by burning torches on both sides.
"We're in trouble. They're suspicious," Valin said as he took off his Invisibility Cloak as the door closed behind him. Griphook jumped off his shoulders, and neither Trevel nor Borg were surprised at Valin's sudden appearance among them.
"I put the Imperius Curse on them," Valin explained, as Hermione and Ron questioned Trevel and Borg, who stood there with empty eyes.
"Fortunately!" Hermione patted her chest and said, "I was so nervous at the time!"
"We can't relax. They have already noticed something is wrong, but since the person in charge brought us in, there should be no problems in a short time."
"But what will we do next?" Ron asked, "Let's run away while we still have the chance?"
"I wish I could escape," Hermione said. She looked back at the door leading to the hall. She didn't know what was happening behind the door.
"But we have to go to the vault first!" Fan Lin said quickly. He couldn't leave Hufflepuff's golden cup here. The soul fragments in Harry's body must be peeled off. Before that, he must do everything possible to weaken it. Voldemort's power, even though it may not seem to have much impact now, is related to Harry's life.
Harry couldn't always stay at Bill's house.
"That's right!" Griphook continued, "Then, we need to let Borg control the handcart. I no longer have the right to drive. But there is no room for the wizard in the car."
Verlin paused and pointed his wand at Treville.
"Out-of-body experience!"
Treville turned immediately and walked quickly down the dark track.
"What did you ask him to do?"
"Let him hide, no matter what, he can't go back now, the goblins will notice that he has been cast by the Imperius Curse." Fan Lin said, while pointing the wand at Borg, who whistled and summoned A cart came along the track from the darkness.
When everyone climbed into the car, Fanlin was sure to hear shouts from the hall. Borg was in front of Griphook and Fanlin Ronhe was crowded in the back. The car vibrated and started off, gradually picking up speed.
They sped past Travers, who was trying to squeeze into a crack in the wall, and then the car began to twist and twist into a labyrinth of tunnels, sloping downwards.
The car experience in Gringotts is not very good.
The speed is fast enough, but you can only rely on your own hands to hold it in place, and Fanlin can't hear anything except the click of friction between the wheels and the track.
Fanlin has been to Gringotts in Egypt. The styles of Gringotts all over the world are all the same. In fact, they can only feel that as they fly deeper into the ground, the stalactites are quickly forgotten. Finally, his hair was blown up by the wind, and Fan Lin couldn't help but look back.
The more Fanlin thought about it, the more he felt that it was stupid to pretend that Hermione was Bellatrix and hold her wand, because when he was playing Bellatrix, he didn't even understand Bellatrix. What happened to Ricks.
The only time Fan Lin came to Gringotts in Diagon Alley was to open a vault to store large amounts of gold coins. However, as Fan Lin, his vault was only in a shallow area of less than 80 meters, and Bella Trix's vault is deep underground.
They came deeper into Gringotts than Fanlin had ever done before, and after a sharp turn, a waterfall suddenly poured down on the track.
This made Fan Lin feel something was wrong. He had never been to the underground of Gringotts in Diagon Alley, but it was certain that Gringotts in Egypt would not have a waterfall on the road.
Faintly, Fanlin heard Grihuan shouting: "No!" But he couldn't brake. They dove in headfirst.
In an instant, Fanlin's eyes and mouth were filled with water, and he couldn't see or breathe.
The car shook violently and then stopped. Now Fanlin could only hear the sound of running water.
"What's wrong?"
Before he finished speaking, Fanlin saw that Hermione was no longer Bellatrix. She was standing there wearing an oversized robe, soaked all over, and completely changed back to herself. Ron also turned back to red hair and a bald chin. Realization came as they looked at each other, running their hands over their faces.
"Griphook, what's going on? Why did Gringotts get one..."
Suddenly, as if the track was broken, Fan Lin felt the car tilt a little, and then the car bounced hard, and they all flew out.
Fan Lin heard the sound of the car hitting the passage wall and breaking into pieces.
"Buffering spell!" Fan Lin shouted, trying to get the four people to stop. He could fly, but it was obviously unrealistic to take five people with him.
The moment before the ground was lifted, the magic spell took effect, and the four people's bodies suddenly stopped less than one meter in the air. The strong sense of weightlessness almost made Fan Lin dizzy.
An adrenaline rush? Regardless, the thrills are self-explanatory.
Then the four people suddenly fell to the ground. Fan Lin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly helped Hermione up.
"Xianzhen Waterfall!" Pullhuan said as he got up and looked back at the waterfall above the track. Fan Lin now understood that it was not ordinary water. "That water washes away all magic and disguise! They know there's an imposter in Gringotts, and they're on defense!"
"You mean, before you left, this wasn't the case?"
"It was there before, but it was just normal water." Griphook said, "They have strengthened their defenses. I don't guarantee there will be anything else behind."
Harry saw Hermione checking to see if the beaded bag was still with her, so he quickly reached into his jacket to make sure the Invisibility Cloak was still there. Then he turned around and saw Borg shaking his head in confusion... It seemed that the Manifestation Falls had removed the Imperius Curse from him.
This made Fan Lin feel a little incredible.
Fan Lin has also prepared similar purified water, but the effect is not as good as this. Maybe it is a problem with the goblin's magic or physical constitution. In any case, Fan Lin has a new experience as to why Gringotts is Gringotts. .
"We need him," Griphook said quickly, "We can't get into the vault without the goblins of Gringotts. And we need the key!"
"Soul out of body!" Fan Lin said again, his voice echoed in the stone tunnel, and he felt that the power that could control thinking was transmitted from the brain to the wand.
Immediately, Borg surrendered to his will again, the bewildered expression on his face fading into one of polite indifference, as Ron quickly picked up the feather bag full of metal tools.
"Fanlin, I think I heard someone coming!" Hermione said. She had given the wand to Ron, and now Hermione was using her own. This made Hermione feel at ease. At least they were ready to fight. .
Fan Lin looked up and saw that all the goblins in Gringotts had reacted. The bright lights came from the rail car.
"We have to hurry up." Fan Lin said, pointing at the waterfall behind him with his wand, "Freeze!"
The ice continued to spread upwards, and soon, like a glacier, the waterfall blocked the entire track.
Hope they don't drive too fast.
"Lead the way, Griphook."
"Then how are we going to get out in the future?" Ron asked as they followed the goblin into the darkness in a hurry, Borg panting like an old dog behind them.
"Don't worry about it until then." Fan Lin said, he was listening attentively, and he thought he heard something clanking around nearby.
"Griphook, how far is it?"
"It's not far, Fanlin El, it's not far..." They turned a corner and saw the thing. Although they were mentally prepared, everyone was still frightened by the thing and stopped.
A giant dragon lay in front of him, blocking the path to four or five of the deepest vaults. Due to being imprisoned underground for a long time, the monster looked pale and sickly. Its eyes were a milky pink, and its two hind legs were tied to shackles. The chains of the shackles were connected to huge nails that were nailed deeply into the ground. wooden stakes. His tapered wings are folded close to the body, enough to fill the space here if unfolded.
But what can be seen clearly is that some dark red things are hanging on the dragon's body or on the surrounding walls.
Fan Lin is very sensitive to this smell. This is dragon blood. Did Gringotts really tame a giant dragon?
When it turned to look at them, it made a sound that made the rocks tremble, and it opened its mouth and spit out a beam of fire, forcing them to retreat.
"So, an adult fire dragon? I don't think it was put here later!" Fan Lin glared at Griphook. This damn goblin showed no sincerity at all.
You know, the giant dragon is not the kind of young dragon that was dealt with in the Goblet of Fire. The ultra-high temperature dragon's breath is very deadly in such a small space.
"It's a little blind," Griphook gasped, "but it's more feral because of it. But I have a way to control it. It's been trained to recognize keys. Give me the key."
Ron handed the bag to Griphook, and the goblin took out several small metal tools. When shaken, they would make a long sound like a small hammer hitting an anvil.
As soon as Griphook reached out his hand, Borg took it obediently.
"You know what to do." Griphook told Fanlin, Hermione and Ron.
"As soon as the dragon heard the sound, he would think he was going to be beaten. He would immediately back away, and then Borg would place his palm on the safe door." They continued to move along the corner, shaking in their hands. Holding the key, the sound produced by the thing echoed through the cave walls and was doubled amplified, causing Fanlin to feel as if the entire cave was shaking.
The giant dragon roared again, and then retreated.
Fan Lin could see the dragon trembling, and when they got closer to it, he found that there were still many scars on the dragon's face from the violent attacks. He guessed that it must be letting it hear the key. The sound is caused by the conditioned reflex to intense pain.
"Hurry up and put his hand on the door." Griphook shook the bell in his hand vigorously. They did not have the equipment to train the dragon, so relying solely on sound could not control the dragon for too long.
It would be interesting if this dragon reacted. One breath of dragon breath might not make this place crystallized, but it would be easy to burn them into black charcoal.
Fanlin didn't waste any time. He raised the wand in his hand and pointed it at Borg again.
The old goblin Borg did as he was told. He put his hand on the door of the vault and the door disappeared little by little.
A cave-like treasury appeared in front of them, filled with mountains of gold and silver, exquisite wine glasses, silver armor, and strange animal skin specimens... Some had long spines, and others were hanging down. wings... a collection of jeweled bottles, and even a skeleton still wearing a crown.
Perhaps it was Black's ancestor, or the remains of some Muggle king.
But what surprised Fan Lin was that there were many bones here, and many of their styles were from races that had disappeared in time.
There are unicorn bones, giants with only one eye, and even... elves?
Fan Lin looked at a small skeleton in the depths in shock. It was half a meter high. The human-shaped skeleton was covered with a layer of skin. The most noticeable thing was the leaves-like wings behind the skeleton.
The darling of the forest, the nature elf?
The harvest was beyond imagination, maybe they could move all away?
It would not be a good idea to stay and help the enemy, and besides, Bellatrix is dead, isn't she?
