Chapter 530: The Treasury (Ask for Subscriptions, Ask for Collections, Ask for Tickets)

In the dark tunnel, a small car is moving quickly along the tracks in the tunnel. At the same time, there was a shrill shout from the car, even overpowering the clatter of the car and the sound of the wind in everyone's ears, and it was the goblin sitting in the driver's seat who kept boasting about the safety of Gringotts.

"Don't make it all the way here, it's because you have identification. Otherwise, you don't even think about being able to enter the heavily guarded underground entrance here, as a large area of the surrounding land is full of protective and probing spells, and it is impossible to get past those defenses by other means-"

But even with the goblin sitting in front chattering and advertising, Ryan made up his mind not to store anything of real value in this place. Because the elves can't trust them in their manners, think about the last book, when Harry meets the Gryffinds employee Pull the Ring, and takes out Gryffindor's dagger as soon as he tempts him, and easily gets all the information about Gringotts. Theoretically, this information should be kept completely confidential by those working in the financial industry.

Ryan even doubted that the Philosopher's Stone in the first year could be stored quietly in Gringotts for so long, simply because Dumbledore and Nicolame were indeed strong enough in terms of prestige and power. Otherwise, with the greed and discipline of the elves, Ryan thinks that they are likely to find a goblin as a scapegoat and directly announce that a certain Gringotts employee has defected with a philosopher's stone.

Sirius couldn't stand the goblin's chatter either, and he said directly to the goblin sitting in front of him, "Is it absolutely safe?" Can you explain how the safest underground vault was broken into a few years ago?"

"Well—" The goblin in the car looked a little hesitant. "Well—at least we didn't lose anything, did we?"

But in this way, the goblin finally closed his chattering mouth, and everyone's ears were much clearer. Ryan took a moment to look around and saw that the cart was heading deep underground. They made sharp turns from stalactite to stalactite, descending to an unexpected depth.

Because Ryan and they came in through normal channels, the journey was different from Harry's time. For example, the thief-proof waterfall they haven't encountered. Come to think of it, the people who can enter the underground vault are all big people with status, so you can't let them pour a basin of water every time they come in.

Finally, after ten minutes, the little car, which was almost as bumpy as a roller coaster, slowed down. Then he came to a halt against a small stone platform. The elf's shrill voice sounded again: "All right, gentlemen, our little car can only go here. The next step is to walk over with your feet. ”

"It's about 3,000 meters underground. Ryan silently calculated the speed and driving time just now, but to his surprise, the temperature at this depth should theoretically be more than 50 degrees Celsius. But now Ryan thinks it might not even be 20 degrees here, and there is a clammy smell in the air.

However, it didn't take long down the corridor before the temperature began to rise. After turning a small corner, Ryan sees the culprit who is causing the temperature to rise: a fiery dragon.

The dragon was huge, at least a lap larger than the one he faced in the Triwizard Tournament. This means that the dragon is very powerful, because as it grows older, it grows in size and becomes more and more resistant to spells over time. And while all this is happening, its aggressiveness and attack ability are also steadily rising.

But the dragon in front of him didn't look good, the scales on the dragon's body had become pale and loose because it had been confined underground for too long, its eyes were cloudy pink, and its hind legs were heavily shackled, and the thick chains on them were connected to the huge stakes that had been driven deep into the stone ground. Hearing footsteps in the hallway, it turned its ugly head toward Ryan and the others, let out a loud roar that made the stones tremble, and opened its jaws to spew a stream of fire.

But Dumbledore, who was standing in front of him, only waved his Elder Wand slightly, and a sky blue transparent barrier appeared in front of them, blocking the flames for everyone.

"You are the greatest White Wizard of all time—" The goblin leading the way said to Dumbledore with some flattery, trying to hide his mistake of not reminding everyone in time, but Sirius snorted coldly and immediately changed the subject. "Its eyes are gone, but that makes it even more brutal. But we have a way to control it. It has formed a conditioned reflex to the dingdang tablets. ”

With that, he took out some small metal utensils from his small leather bag and handed one to everyone. "You shake this together, and when it hears this sound, it thinks of pain and retreats, and we can open the door to the vault. ”

It was only then that Ryan discovered that the location of the fire dragon was a small platform, and around the platform there were several gates that looked very intricately carved.

At this time, Dumbledore suddenly took control of the elf in front of him, and then waved his wand to bring the flame-spitting dragon down.

"Well, we can only get here peacefully. Dumbledore explained, "Before coming down, each elf could only get access to the door that the client asked to open, a defense against theft at Gringotts. So for the Lestrange family vault, it's up to you to do it, and you don't have to worry about the dragons and goblins, they're just knocked unconscious right now, and I'll inject them with prepared memories in a moment. ”

Seriously, neither the goblin nor the fire dragon are weak in combat. Especially the goblins who have permission to come here, and even the elite Aurors whose combat power is no less than that. The reason why he was knocked over so quickly was purely because he didn't expect a magician like Dumbledore to suddenly attack from behind. It can only be said that he has done his best, but it is not a crime of war to make such a situation now.

"I'll see. Ryan was led by Sirius to the door of the target's vault, before waving his wand and proceeding to check.

"It's a clever setup. Ryan muttered to himself, during the inspection, he found that the goblins had prepared an extremely elaborate power supply system in the underground vault, using the underground geothermal conversion magic array to provide inexhaustible magic power for the entire vault's defense system, which was why Ryan had found that the temperature of this underground vault was not high before.

There is a lot of defensive and vigilance magic on the doors of the vault, as well as on the surrounding walls. However, Ryan unexpectedly discovers that the Black family's vault and the target vault are next door.

"Can you get this goblin to open the door to Sirius's vault first?" Ryan asked.

"It's simple. Dumbledore nodded and restored the dragon and the elves to their original state, and sure enough, the elves did not have any suspicions. After the elf opened the Black family vault, Dumbledore knocked the elves and the dragon unconscious again, and then stepped into the vault.

As soon as he entered the vault, he heard Ryan say in a cheerful tone, "Ha, I knew it was so, and soon we would be able to enter Bella's vault where she kept the treasure given by the mysterious man." ”
