CHAPTER XXXV

A dragon, probably big enough to block four or five dome doors, crouched in the passageway, blocking Gael and Syph's path. Luckily, the Dome of the Lestrange House is right next to it, and the Hufflepuff Gold Cup is within easy reach.

Gail and Seaver's proximity didn't open the old dragon's eyes, in fact, perhaps because it had been hit by some damaging spell, or because it had been in the dim ground for a long time, its eyes were covered with a layer of pink flesh, and it seemed that it had lost the sensory function of vision.

Although the old dragon has lost his eyesight, he still has a sensitive sense of hearing and smell. The sound and smell of Gail and Seaver approaching made the dragon can't help but move its wings close to its body slightly. Perhaps because Gail and Severus were tainted with some ancient dragon power, the dragon that was supposed to attack when it encountered someone who had entered the vault without permission did not quietly spew out a damaging dragon's breath, but only spewed out a squirt through its nose.

Since the object they were trying to save was quiet, many of the means Gale had prepared were useless. But just in case, the passage leading to the Gringotts hall was shrouded with a spiritual power cover, to prevent the old dragon from suddenly letting out a dragon roar to attract the goblins guarding it.

Gail took out the tools used to write the scriptures, cautiously approached the old dragon, and wrote several inscriptions with the meaning of "copy", "puppet", and "bewilderment" on its front paws and toenails at great speed.

When the material of the magic text seeped into the toenail cover of the old dragon, a puppet dragon that looked exactly like the old dragon with its hind feet tethered appeared on the opposite side of the old dragon. Severus took out a bottle of potion and poured it on the shackles that tied the old dragon's hind legs after the puppet dragon appeared.

When the potion came into contact with the shackles, it did not drip or erode away, but began to form a thin film along the shackles and chains as if they were alive. After squirming for a while, the membrane seemed to have found something, and quickly tightened its body into the keyhole that was hidden in the shackles. With a "click", the shackles that held the dragon's right leg were opened, and its left foot was freed.

The old dragon moved his hind legs a little bewildered, and after a few attempts, he couldn't help but stand up. It was so large that it accidentally touched the top of the passage, scraping off a cloud of rubble, forcing Gail and Severus to dodge.

But the old dragon, whose legs were suddenly freed, did not care about this falling rock, which could be fatal to man, was in its mind just like the raindrops falling from the sky on its body—although it may not even know what the raindrops were, but the analogy was very appropriate.

He flapped his wings, allowing them to stretch and flapp. The air flow generated by this action almost knocked Gail, who was standing opposite the old dragon, to the ground: "Sever! Gail opened his mouth a little wolf-like, and ended up eating a belly of wind and dust, "Ahem...... Let's hurry up, hurry up and get this big guy to the back of the manor, and then come back and get the gold cup! ”

Seeing Gail's blown eyes and messy hairstyle, Seaver smiled unkindly. He activated any door and adjusted the size of the wormhole to the maximum, but it could only reach the position of the old dragon's belly.

"You go! Take it with your voice! Gail felt that it was a mistake to not take into account the size of any door beforehand. But the puppet dragon behind him was already here, and there was no turning back when he opened the bow, so he could only bite the bullet.

"Hey! Big! Can you understand me? Get low! Keep your head down! Gail said intently to the old dragon.

This time, Gail's gold finger didn't work. Neither his radar sense, nor his affinity, made the old dragon understand his words, but the latter still flapped his wings, as if familiarizing himself with how to use the barely used pair of wings, and then let out a roar that increased the speed of the flapping wings, and the whole dragon almost broke off the ground.

"Ahhhh What a hassle! Ghelfu lowered his body to resist the air currents caused by the old dragon, but he didn't expect to use coercion in the end.

When the old dragon, who had just been freed, finally flapped his wings and was about to leave, he was suppressed by a pressure. The air that was so abundant for him seemed to be suddenly blocked, and the feeling of being in the water, if you have swam before, will know that this feeling is actually the feeling of being in the water.

The wings became heavy, and the old dragon retracted his wings, lowered his body again, and couldn't help but roar again.

"Seaver, push any door in front of it!" Gail dragged the puppet dragon's toenails to prevent himself from being swept away by the air currents again.

Severic pushed any door to the tip of the old dragon's nose that was suppressed by Gail, and then advanced the wormhole between the other party and any door, and smashed the leftover potion bottle on the tip of the old dragon's nose. was provoked by the old dragon, and in the face of Seaver, whose dragon power had almost dispersed, he was naturally chasing after him! It lunged forward, half of its body entering any door.

Thankfully, the old dragon didn't open his wings after half of his body entered any door, otherwise he would have been stuck. It roared and followed Seaver into the wormhole, freeing up the spot it had just been in.

Although Gail's spiritual power shield blocked out the sound, the fact that the old dragon's head had rubbed a stone on the top of his head just now, and the dragon's roar also caused the entire passage to vibrate, it was still possible to attract the attention of Gringotts' caretaker elves. In order to prevent accidents, the puppet dragon quickly fills the position after the old dragon disappears. After the shackles were re-attached to the puppet dragon's hind legs in the same way as the old dragon, there was another "click", the shackles were locked, and Seaver's potion evaporated from the hidden keyhole.

Gail put away the spiritual power cover, and keenly heard a voice from far away—it was the elf who sensed the tremors and came to investigate. He hurriedly wrote a magic text with the meaning of "activation" on the toenail of the puppet dragon, and the puppet dragon, which was originally light and fluttering like a balloon, immediately gained weight and became like a living being.

After the puppet dragon stretched out its wings and straightened up, as if the tremor was caused by its tumbling, Gale trotted into the wormhole with the tools used to write the script. About a dozen seconds later, a roller coaster-like car arrived with the elves who had come to check it out.

"Damn it! This blind old fellow! The goblin was annoyed that he had found the "culprit" of the shock. It pulled out a bunch of keys, and made several of the small metal tools shake with a sound like a hammer smashing an anvil. A huge echo resounded under the refraction of the cave wall, almost comparable to the tremor caused by the dragon roar just now. The puppet dragon perfectly replicated the old dragon's reflex of pain when he heard the sound of the key, and after trembling and roaring, he kept retreating, folded his wings and curled up, trembling like an ordinary frightened animal. The goblin was pleased with the puppet dragon's reaction, and then got into the car and left.

At this time, in the founder's manor, Gail and Seaver looked at the old dragon with scars on his face, flying in the backyard where the space spell was cast, and their hearts were indescribably happy: "This is the way dragons should live, not locked underground and unable to see the sun!" It's a pity ......"

"What a pity?" Seaver felt that the dragon was flying happily, and he didn't understand what Gail was sorry for.

Gail shook his head, wondering if Seaver could understand himself: "It has been underground for most of its life, it is invisible, it is aging, it is not even able to get along with the mother dragon like other dragons, it does not have offspring of its own, and it may not even be able to eat most of the food that other dragons have tasted now." ”

Seaver was just rejoicing that he had saved a life in captivity, but Gail's words made him sober up in an instant—the damage had been done, and no amount of repair could fill the void created by the passage of time.

"Perhaps...... Let's try to heal its eyes. Severus said this, trying to comfort Gail, "He may not have seen a flower or a white cloud, I mean, we can try to show it, that's a good thing, isn't it?" ”

Gail nodded, and finally showed a smile: "You're right, it's a good thing!" I'm just, I don't know which tendon is wrong, it's a bit cranky. Don't worry about that, it's time for us to go back and find the Golden Cup! ”

The advantage of any door is that you can go anywhere that has been located in detail or has been before. In order to free the old dragon, they were in front of the dome of Lestrange's house. Gail pinpointed in detail the location of any door opening, which was fifty meters east of the position just now, and successfully allowed Gail and Seaver to enter the dome without using the key!

Out of an abundance of caution, Gail glanced at his foothold before stepping out of the wormhole. Seeing that it was a small open space near the door, he came out of the wormhole formed by any door with the retractable, hooked clothes pole, followed by Severus.

Several floating balls of cold light lit up the dome, and the mountains of gold gallons and silver ceremonies were a little glazed in Gail's eyes. Gail took a few deep breaths and tried to warn himself in his heart: "Gail, you are also a rich man, don't be so unproductive!" ”

Gale forced his gaze to look away from the magical currency, which was the most direct reflection of the Lestrange family's wealth, and began to look around the area in search of the Golden Cup through the light of the cold orb.

The delicate glass wine cup was obviously not their target, and the silver armor should have nothing to do with the gold cup, the specimen...... and the golden cup can't be beaten. Jeweled bottles, no! A skeleton with a crown, no! A bunch of necklaces that look like they're worth a lot of money, and neither are they!

Gail remembers that Harry in the original book was touching a bunch of things, and was almost touching the zenith of the dome when he saw a small amphora with a badger logo on the top of an elevated shelf, so the focus of their search was to start at the top! The magical life of Gail Green
