Under the threat of dragons and fire, everyone flinched a little.

"It's unbelievable, those rumors from the outside world are true, Gringotts actually has a dragon!" Harry shouted in surprise, his eyes mixed with curiosity and panic.

"The Ukrainian Iron Belly, the largest fire dragon in the world, is very dangerous. Sirius cautiously said, "These goblins should have a way of subduing it, it looks like they've tortured it enough, but we'd better be careful." Aven, don't get so close!"

Evan stood beside the Pull Ring, looking curiously at the dragon around the corner.

Although he had seen descriptions of dragons in many magic books, it was the first time he had seen a living dragon.

As the largest known fire dragon in the wizarding world, the Ukrainian Iron Belly can weigh up to six tons. With a round body and extremely hard scales on its belly, it flies slower than other fangs or longhorns, but is more dangerous.

It has a habit of landing from a high altitude and crushing everything below into powder.

Normally, its scales are shiny gray, its eyes are crimson, and its claws are particularly long and vicious.

Ever since 1799, when an iron belly swept a ship from the Black Sea, they have been the subject of surveillance by Ukrainian and Romanian wizarding authorities.

The blood and scales of dragons are extremely valuable magical materials, and the heart cords and nerves are used to make the core of the wand, which in ancient times was only available to a very few powerful wizards, because they were the only ones who had the ability to slay dragons.

Although there are now places dedicated to raising dragons for profit, the outside world still sells dragon blood and scales for more than the same weight of gold.

Different types of dragons have different dragon blood, scales, nerve effects, and values.

Among the dragons, the magic power of the Ukrainian iron belly belongs to the weaker kind, its dragon blood is not the best potion material, and few wands will choose the iron dragon for the wand core, but the hard scales on its belly have extra magic power, which is an essential material for many magic props.

However, Evan doubted how much the scales of the Ukrainian iron belly in front of him would be worth, and whether anyone would need it, because it looked extremely emaciated and unhealthy.

"Its eyes are gone!" said Rawhisk, gasping beside Aven, "It's been locked up here since it was a baby dragon, and it's been over two hundred years now. Its strength is waning, but its temper is much more brutal than the fire dragons outside. But we have a way to control it, and it has formed a conditioned reflex to Ding Dong tablets. ”

The pull tab took out some small metal utensils from the trolley, and shook them with a loud and crisp clanging sound, like a small hammer smashing on an anvil.

He sent them out to everyone and showed them how to use them.

"Well, you know what to do. "As soon as he heard the sound, he thought of pain and retreated, and we took the opportunity to run past him to the little room at the end. ”

"That's why I hate being here!" Sirius muttered, "crazy dragons, and equally crazy goblins"

They lined up, Pull-Ring at the front, followed by Aven, Hermione, Harry, and Sirius, each with a metal utensil in their hands.

Evan held Hermione tightly in his left hand, her palms drenched in sweat.

They followed the ring, shaking the dingdang piece around the corner again, and the noise echoed between the stone walls, magnified many times over, so noisy that Aven's brain seemed to vibrate.

The dragon let out another hoarse roar and stepped back.

Aven could see it trembling, and as he got closer, he saw the white deformed scales on its body, and the terrible scars on its face, probably the marks left by the fiery sword that had been trained to fear the fiery sword at the sound of a dingdang.

Because it was close enough, Evan could feel the astonishing heat coming from it.

After a few seconds, when everyone had passed through the fire dragon and entered the small room at the end, everyone was pale, wiped their sweat, and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Up close and personal with a fire dragon is definitely an experience to brag about.

In front of them, a circular staircase that circles down is a staircase that looks very old, and the blue rocks on the ground glow faintly and exude an aura of mystery.

All the way down, the roar of the fire dragon faded away.

The surroundings are quiet again, and on both sides of the staircase, large and small vaults.

Aside from the numbers on the rocks, Aven could only see the oddly shaped gates.

Not surprisingly, the vault of the Death Eater Belaclitus was inside, containing another Horcrux that Voldemort had given her for safekeeping, the Hufflepuff Gold Cup.

Evan didn't know which one, but fortunately there weren't many vaults here, and he tried to remember the terrain around it, and leaned over to a suspicious-looking door to take a closer look, thinking about how to destroy the Horcrux

"If you don't want to die, you'd better stay away from that door. Ra Ring suddenly turned around and said, "The doors of the vault have been subjected to extremely strong defensive magic and curses, and only the elves can open them in the right way, otherwise"

"I'm just looking!" Evan explained, he really just intended to take a look, memorize the terrain around him, and prepare for a later break-in search of the Horcrux.

"I know, but I must warn you that greed doesn't end well. Pull Ring grinned maliciously, "Remember, if you want to take what doesn't belong to you from Gringotts, the only thing that awaits you is death, and the magic laid out here is more than you can imagine." ”

"Evan was just curious, no one would be interested in these broken metals. Sirius said impatiently, "Let's go, we'd better be faster, I don't want to spend the whole day in the cavern." ”

The circular staircase winds down, as if there was no end, and they walked forward for about ten minutes, and when they came to the edge of the staircase, the pull ring suddenly stopped.

Ai Wen also hurriedly stopped, and it was pitch black around him, and there was no light at all.

Several of them pulled out their wands, and under the faint fluorescence of the wands, Aven found that it was different from the above, and that there should be a naturally formed cavern nearby.

The rock face was full of cracks, and the whirring sound came from the cracks.

Whew, whew, whew!!

The shrill and piercing sound did not stop, extremely eerie, like the roar of countless banshees.

The atmosphere is getting tense, they have just seen the dragon, no one can say what else, are these crazy goblins using banshees to guard the vaults deep underground?!

Evan felt Hermione leaning towards him, her small hands clutching her.

"What are these voices, what's down there?" asked Harry in a low voice.

"It's the wind!" Sirius's voice was also tinged with a hint of depression, "As for what is below, you will know it at once, it is definitely an unpleasant scene that you can't imagine. I was brought here by my father once sixteen years ago, and I never wanted to come again" (To be continued. )
