Chapter 1690: A Warm Vault
"Fluorescent flicker!" Evan lit his wand.
After a slight crack, the glow from the end of the wand dispelled the darkness around it.
In front of them, the ground was littered with glittering gemstones, piles of jewels, necklaces, ornaments, and gold objects piled up to the top, and on either side of the crypt were two rows of tall shelves, also filled with magical treasures made of precious metals.
It's a huge crypt, and only a little bit of the entrance has a place to stay.
As the vault doors closed, the air seemed to become thinner.
Evan never imagined that there would be such a strong sense of oppression when so many gold, silver and jewelry were gathered in a small space.
"Don't touch anything!" he repeated, "these gold, silver, and jewels are enchanted. ”
"Can't you untie it?" asked Hermione.
"No, it's a compound spell, part of it is irreversible, even if we know the spell from Bellatrix, we can't solve it, and it doesn't make sense, we can't solve the magic one by one. "This mad woman doesn't want people to take anything from here." ”
From the moment the treasure fell into Bellatrix's hands, she didn't seem to have any intention of handing them over.
What a madman!
Bellatrix's intense possessiveness was something that Evan really felt now.
"What happens if we touch something?" Elaine wondered, "Is it a curse?"
"It's not that evil, the curse casting process is difficult, and the power required is also very strong, not all dark wizards can use curses, but it's probably not good magic, we can give it a try. Evan pointed his wand at Bellatrix in front of him.
She bent down to touch a ruby on the ground, but she immediately screamed in pain and threw the gem out of her hand.
As soon as the gem fell to the ground, it began to split and turned into many identical rubies.
In a few moments, the floor was covered with rubies pouring out from all directions.
As for the original genuine product, it has long been missing.
"Splinter Charm!" said Hermione, "why did she throw the ruby out and it looked like it hurt?"
"Look at her hand!" Evan said, asking Bellatrix to hold out his hand.
Everyone noticed that the palm of her hand holding the ruby just now had been burned, and a layer of blisters had formed, which was very badly injured.
"What kind of magic is this?"
"It's an iron fire spell, and touching these treasures is like putting your hand in boiling water. Evan explained, "But this shouldn't be the whole story, I just felt Bellatrix's mental level shake violently, and there should be an unforgivable spell on it." ”
"You mean the Mind Curse?" Harry asked in disbelief as he thought of something.
"Yes, she really likes this spell, doesn't she? Applying this spell to objects so that anyone who touches them will be brutally tortured, this should be an improvement made by her own research, a genius idea, but at the same time it is also evil. Evan continued," In this way, every object we touch will become hot, not only the skin, but also from the mental level, just like the heart of the curse is unbearable, can't help but let go of the jewelry in the hand, and at the same time, the object will quickly self-copy, those copies are worthless, if you try to continue to steal those treasures, they will be divided and copied indefinitely, and eventually the intruder will be crushed to death or burned to death by those large copies of gold and silver jewelry. ”
"So, don't touch anything!" said Harry, who stood motionless, cautiously observing his surroundings, "but if that is the case, how are we going to find the golden cup in such a large pile of treasures?" I know, I've seen it in Riddle's memory, it was a small, golden cup carved with a badger carved on it, and two handles......
"It's described, Harry, there's enough features. Evan said.
"It's quite detailed, but given the size of the cup, these features aren't enough. Harry said, "It's so dark that we can't see clearly, and there are so many cups here, to be honest, I think they all look pretty much the same." By the way, can't you use the Flying Charm?"
"It's useless, remember when I told you the most basic introduction to Gringotts? All vaults have been incredulated, and magic like apparitions and flying charms are not good at all. Evan said, making the light on the end of the wand brighter, "Only in the most primitive way, see with your eyes!, come on, each of us will be in charge of one area, and pay attention to the hidden places and the crevices in the rocks." ”
Having said that, if you look closely, you can see that there are more cups in the vault than you can imagine, and there are all kinds of cups.
Bellatrix must be a cup lover, a cup maniac, how could a normal person put so many cups in his own vault?!
Of course, she did this to hide the Hufflepuff Gold Cup, which Voldemort had given her for safekeeping.
Infuriatingly, Evan wanted Bellatrix himself to tell him where the Hufflepuff Gold Cup was, but she couldn't find the memory, and the only possibility was that she deleted it herself from her head to prevent the secret from leaking.
As a result, Evan and the others could only look for Hufflepuff's gold cup among tens of thousands of similar cups.
They spun around carefully, pointing their wands at every possible hiding place, carefully searching every place, but in this way, it was impossible not to touch anything, and soon, Aven, Harry, and Hermione were adding something to the ground.
They bared their teeth in pain, and only Elaine, who was petite and nimble, touched nothing.
The red-hot gold exudes heat, and the whole vault feels like a furnace.
"Aven, I don't see a cup here that matches the description. ”
"I don't have it here, it's hot, vampires don't resist heat. Elaine said, sticking out her tongue.
"Bear with me a little longer, Elaine, it's going to be over soon, I don't have this area, Harry, did you find anything there?"
"Wait, I seem to see something. Harry's wand beam moved over the shield and the elf's helmet, the shelves reaching up to the ceiling, and his wand was raised higher and higher, and suddenly it hit an object, and his heart skipped a beat, and his hands trembled, "Look, I found it, on it!"
