Diagon Alley at night regained a bit of life. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Death Eaters were hit hard at the Quidditch World Cup, wizarding England is at peace for the time being, cautious wizards still won't appear in a bustling and easy place like Diagon Alley, the Ministry of Magic has strengthened surveillance and protection, and on Diagon Alley, there are companions of Aurors passing by from time to time.

Minister Fudge declared a state of emergency in wizarding England, and the Aurors were granted more powerful law enforcement powers, and since the wizarding kingdom had no army for the time being, this tense atmosphere also cast a shadow over Diagon Alley, a famous attraction in the British wizarding world.

Fortunately, the wizards had already experienced the last Death Eater's reign of terror, and after this experience, in the face of such a depressing atmosphere, several of the more famous shops were open for business. Madame Morkin's clothing store has a new wizarding robe, although it is still a little conservative compared to Hogsmeade's Luna design, but it has changed a lot, I think Madame Morkin was greatly stimulated after discovering Professor McGonagall's wizarding robe.

The bookstore that Xie An visited in the middle of the night last time is still open, but I don't know if it still sells pirated books secretly, Ollivanders is still tepid, and the wizards come out of the Leaky Cauldron Bar and can't help but look towards the dark Tumbledown Alley, which is still dark, except for a candle flame that shines in the window of Borgin Bock.

The most imposing building in Diagon Alley is not the old Ollivanders, nor the wealthy Bogin Burke, but Gringotts, which controls almost the entire economic lifeline of magical Britain.

Gringotts is open until ten p.m., which is designed for the convenience of certain creatures who don't like the sun. It was almost midnight, and the goblins who had finished dealing with the day's affairs came out of Gringotts one after another.

Before the elves left work, they had to check the day's accounts to make sure there were no mistakes, and when they had completed all this meticulous work, it was already midnight, and the two goblin bank managers who had been busy all day came out of the side door of Gringotts together.

"Where are you going to go after work in a while?"

"Where else can I go, go home. After a tiring day, I miss my bed now. It's not safe out there now, and I've heard that many secret organizations have sprung up among wizards. Now that it's so chaotic outside, let's keep a low profile. ”

"You're just too timid. Life is short, how hard do we work every day, if we don't relax, we will go crazy sooner or later, why don't we go to the mysterious rabbit hole tonight, I heard that there is a new batch of goblins there, all of them are very beautiful, how about it?"

"Really, now they still dare to sell goblins from abroad? I heard that some time ago, something happened on the European continent, and now it has resumed?"

"Of course, you don't know, now the European continent is in complete chaos. A dark wizard organization called the Wizard Army has overthrown the Ministry of Magic that dresses up the country, and without the Ministry of Magic, the Aurors will naturally be gone, without the Aurors, how can anyone protect these tender little goblins. I've heard that in those small countries of Eastern Europe, not only have goblins been caught, but even some wizards have been arrested..."

The two goblins, dressed in well-fitting suits, said as they turned around the corner and disappeared. The air writhed, and it seemed as if something was hiding around.

The elves who were leaving one after another did not notice that a breeze passed by them. Gringotts has extremely complex defense magic, and ordinary invisibility spells and ordinary invisibility cloaks cannot work in Gringotts. Entering and exiting through the side doors are all ordinary Gringotts staff, and due to the peculiarities of Gringotts, Gringotts does not have a network of flying paths, nor can it be apparitioned.

The duty manager made a round, and there was nothing out of the ordinary, and he greeted the two wizard security guards standing at the door, and went back to the duty room alone.

After the heavy door was slammed shut, Gringotts fell into complete darkness, and the wizard, who had long been accustomed to this bleak tomb-like atmosphere, lazily slept with his colleagues.

"The defenses are really lax. Suddenly there was a voice in the empty corner, but there was no sign of him on closer inspection.

"After hundreds of years of reinforcement, the Demon Pattern Formation here has become very night, such a huge building, with less than ten guards, it seems that the goblins really trust these Demon Pattern Formations very much. Other soft female voices rang out, also from the void.

"Your Excellency, I feel that there seem to be some hidden magic patterns around, I wonder if you can feel it?" It turned out that the two were Xie An and Queen Anne.

"Right ahead, the passage to the underground vault was closed by a peculiar magic pattern that seemed to deny any life to pass through. Even with my galaxy magic, I can't hide it. Queen Anne was slightly surprised, but she didn't expect to encounter a tricky problem as soon as she came in.

"It turned out to be a three-dimensional magic pattern formation, and it was still invisible. I just vaguely felt as if there was something ahead. If it is a three-dimensional magic pattern, it is generally a hair that moves the whole body, this kind of magic pattern is connected with each other, if you can't find a suitable lock point, I'm afraid it will be difficult to open it without alarming them. There was a ripple in the air around him, and Xie An's voice was erratic.

"You're right, Andrew, alas, we don't have to solve this trouble by going through. There was a mockery in Queen Anne's voice, and there was a ripple in the space around her, and I saw that on the wall to the left of the passage, a crack slowly appeared, and the crack grew bigger and bigger, and soon became a door.

After a while, the door disappeared automatically, leaving only the empty hall, which seemed to have nothing to offer.

"Luckily, the wizard who designed the magic pattern on the wall is not very good and can easily block his magic pattern link without triggering any alarms. "Andrew and Queen Anne reappeared, already in the back hall of Gringotts, and then through a descending spiral staircase, the entrance to the underground vault.

The spiral staircase was also closed at this time. If it is an ordinary wizard, even if he can pass the blockade of the hall, I am afraid that he will be helpless at this point. Xie An looked down from the spiral staircase, bottomless, this strange space magic, is also a kind of anti-theft measure, if there is no goblin to lead, the wizard will go down this never-ending spiral staircase, but never reach the bottom.

In the void, countless stars lit up, and in this dim space, it was as if countless diamonds suddenly appeared. The silhouette of Empress Anne flashed by the starlight, and then the stars turned into a galaxy and poured down from the top of the staircase.

"I'll go down first, Andrew. Queen Anne said.

Xie An looked back at the dark back hall of Gringotts, he always felt that this place was like a tomb, those wizards on duty had already slept lazily at this time, and the only goblin duty manager didn't know where to go. There was not the slightest anger in the whole Gringotts, and it was eerily quiet.

The wound of the world, Azkaban, gives people a sense of despair, and Gringotts, which makes people feel extremely depressed.

Of course, Xie An did not fly down as chic and beautiful as Queen Anne, agitating the magic power in his body, Xie An's body began to deform, and in less than a few breaths, a nightmare unicorn with strange flames all over his body, with this strange golden cloud pattern engraved on his white fur, and sharp curved horns on his head, jumped down the spiral staircase.

Xie An's Animagus form, a nightmare unicorn, with its speed and special talent, has a restraint effect on space and sealing magic, and Xie An, who has already planned to explore the underground vault, just uses his own Animagus form.

Stepping on the void is like stepping on flat ground, the unicorn rushing straight to the ground, emitting strange flames all over its body, the surrounding space seems to turn into water, cut by the unicorn of the nightmare unicorn, and between a few flashes, the unicorn stops suddenly, without any buffer in the space.

As if weightless, the unicorn raised its head slightly, and its limbs slowly stepped on the somewhat slippery rocks.

"This is supposed to be Gringotts' underground vault. Surrounded by a galaxy, Queen Anne's transparent silhouette became even more mysterious, and her whole person was like a nebula, floating beside Xie An.

"Well, these carts are the tools used to take wizards to the vaults they need. "Xie An, who is in the form of Animagus, can only communicate with Queen Anne with his consciousness. It's just that in such a situation, the picture of hell will inevitably swell again.

Queen Anne walked in front of the cars, and looked into the distance along the railroad tracks that stretched down, and saw that in the darkness, the underground space was covered with clouds and mist, and she could not see anything clearly, just like the underworld.

"There are no powerful spells on these cars, so I guess the goblins don't believe that anyone can easily break through the front defense. Let's go now, if we follow the planned route, we should be able to reach the dragon guard area in the middle in more than ten minutes. ”

Queen Anne turned into a galaxy again and flew away, Xie An followed closely behind her, the unicorn's four feet on the flames, and the windmill electric switch skimmed the space underground.

Gringotts itself was built on Diagon Alley, which is actually London. And this huge underground vault, the area is the size of a small town, and the length is more than 10,000 meters, and there is such a large space under London, which is simply the same as the Tower of London turning into a magma lake, which is a miracle created by magic.

According to Queen Anne's speculation, the Soul Altar should not have been left in the coffers of the illustrious Pureblood Inheritance, as that would easily be passed down. Although the inheritance family has its own secrets, it is difficult to keep their secrets because they have always been under the care of everyone. Since Crouch's grandfather's notes mention clues about the altar, they don't point to any family, the most likely being that this family is probably not famous, but only got the altar by chance.

Under this speculation, it is most likely those middle families that have some strength, but are not very famous. The vaults guarded by the dragon were the vaults of the top families of wizarding Britain, and the purpose of the two was not to use these vaults, but to the vaults of the middle families close to these vaults.

The two of them flew in the gray fog for more than ten minutes, and finally felt the breath of life in front of them. A huge white dragon was resting on the ground. The beast's senses were extremely keen, and almost at the same time that Xie An felt the dragon, the dragon also sensed the arrival of the nightmare unicorn.

A low roar came from not far away, and Xie An stopped advancing.

"Let's start here, we have alarmed the dragon, and I'm afraid it will be a bit of trouble for us to sneak in in the future. Queen Anne said.

The two of them found a vault at random, and Xie An looked at the number, Vault 423. Queen Anne and Xie An fell to the ground. The door of the vault is made of alloy, there is no engraved magic pattern on it, there is only a keyhole, this should be an ordinary vault, although there is no magic pattern seen, but here using the Alaho cave to open, I'm afraid the only result is to trigger the alarm.

Queen Anne stood in front of the door, the star-like magic branched out from the galaxy, slowly poured into the keyhole, and after a few minutes, there was a sound of mechanization, and the door slowly opened.

There was nothing inside. Wizard families rarely like to save, and usually those families with a large number of people will continue to accumulate wealth. Like the Weasleys, not long ago, they were among the top families in the wizarding world, but with the decline of the family, there is no need for the Weasleys to open a separate vault in Gringotts.

The two of them walked into the vault, which was more than ten square meters, and there was not a single copper nat on the ground, and the shelves on both sides were empty. Either this vault is an ownerless vault, or the owner of this vault is poor and has nothing, because this vault is a completely impoverished and empty vault.

Xie An and Queen Anne were in no hurry to leave. After Xie An transformed, he turned back into a wizard again, and used a one-time spatial spell invented by Crouch's grandfather to take out his own Mok bag that existed in the spatial rift. He put on a new wizard's robe, and then took out a lot of materials from the mock bag.

"It was empty, just right for us to arrange a back door. Xie An smiled.

"Although Gringotts prohibits the portkey, there is no way to block my spatial magic pattern formation, as long as this formation is not destroyed, we have unlimited free access to Gringotts. Queen Anne said unconcernedly.

Xie An said while carving the Demon Pattern Formation: "Indeed, there won't be so much trouble next time. A hidden formation is still needed for a while, otherwise it would be a pity to be inadvertently discovered in the formation. ”

Born from the six-page book, this kind of magic pattern formation invented by Xie An, after Queen Anne's careful teaching, finally has its own prototype, this time Xie An thought of carving the magic pattern formation again, used to break through the conversion limit of Gringotts, Queen Anne modified the magic pattern array designed by Xie An, and it became what it is now.

This magic pattern formation can communicate the magic pattern formation of the London apartment, and after the two magic pattern formations are connected, Xie An and Queen Anne can travel freely between the two locations.
