Chapter 353: Superficial Smoothness
On the counter, under the operation of Maca, the two silver sike bumped into each other, and then rolled in different directions.
The old goblin had already stretched out his hand and was about to hold them down, but after that bump, his judgment was skewed.
In line with the elves' natural love for gold and silver......
In other words, in line with the natural miser character of the goblins, the old goblins reacted extremely quickly.
He waved swiftly in the direction of the roll of one of them, and the power of the magic caused the silver to fly towards his hand. At the same time, he bent down and stretched out his other hand, catching exactly another silver coin that had just fallen from the counter.
But when he straightened up again and touched the two silver sike in his hand lovingly, he didn't know that an invisible hummingbird had silently jumped behind his head and hovered steadily in midair.
It was also the first time that Maca had been behind the counter in the Dark Spirit.
Although he had been here many times, the space behind the counter was not something that anyone could run in and walk around.
He could clearly feel that from this point on, it was the area where apparitions were forbidden.
After entering here, Maca saw at first glance that there were many elves running back and forth with short legs, busy and busy.
From time to time, the tellers sitting on the high stools would hand some small pieces of paper to the goblins on standby, and the goblins who received the pieces of paper would immediately run to the back passage.
The elves that come out of the tunnel will bring the magically controlled floating packages or money bags behind the corresponding teller and deliver them to the counter next to the teller.
At first glance, it may seem a bit chaotic, but if you look closely, you can see that everything is going on in an orderly manner without any confusion.
As far as the elves and house-elves, who are already distant relatives of a somewhat thin bloodline, at least they are surprisingly similar in their approach to work - hardworking, rigorous, but sometimes quite stubborn and rigid.
Maca looked left and right, then glanced at the arched passage behind her, and then flapped her wings at high speed and flew towards the counter on the right.
The staff-only aisle, located at the end of the right counter, is the preferred entrance for this project.
The other members of the Order of the Phoenix couldn't come in in their small-sized Animagus form like he did. So, trying to open a portal to infiltrate was his second mission.
"Hmm...... It's really very different from the wizard's magic! ”
Maca quickly flew to the clerk's passage, and when he looked around, he saw that there were two wizard guards standing guard inside and out. In the middle of that passage, not only are there two iron chains lying across, but most of the detection magic set up is unique to goblins.
Although Maca can still sense the flow of magic from it, it is still impossible to crack it on the spot - not to mention whether it can be studied and understood, even if it can be reversed through the law of magic flow, it will take a lot of time.
"It doesn't look like it's going to work."
He quickly considered it, then made up his mind in time, and decisively flapped his wings and flew backwards.
……
On the other side, after handling the rental of the safe deposit box, Hesjia left the counter as if nothing had happened. She swept it slightly, then straightened her collar and took out a small badge and pinned it in front of her.
When she calmly emerged from the hall of the Dark Spirit Pavilion and walked around the alley next to her, Lupin, disguised as a short wizard, followed in.
"Did you succeed in the first step?"
"It should have worked, but ...... Let's wait for McLean's news to come out. ”
"Well, then you take a stroll and take a break, and I'll go and inform the next group to enter the hall."
Lupin leaned against the wall at the mouth of the alley, while Heszga cowered behind the pile of debris in the alley. The two lowered their voices and exchanged a few words, and then went their separate ways.
However, not long after the two of them walked away, a cloud of black smoke suddenly rose from the shadows on the side of the alley, and then a figure wrapped in a black cloak quietly walked out of the black smoke.
The figure glanced left and right in the direction Hestya and Lupin had left, then turned into a puff of black smoke and chased in a direction.
……
Behind the Dark Spirit Pavilion counter, in the arched passage in the deepest part of the hall, Maca was moving at a rapid pace.
Just as the elves don't like sunlight and prefer only dimly lit burrows, this passage is not only made of black bricks from top to bottom, left and right, but even the torches are not very bright.
Quite a few elves came and went in an orderly manner, and in order to avoid unnecessary risks, Maca maintained the form of a hummingbird, flying above their heads.
Along the way, you can see that there are many doorways on both sides of the passage, and most of them are deep and dark. If you just look in with the naked eye, you won't be able to see far at all.
Maca didn't rush in to investigate, but planned to observe the largest main road first.
But probably because it was a little dark inside, the main road was not as long as he thought. It didn't take long for him to fly, and he realized that he was there.
At the end of this main passage is a wall that is also black.
The wall was bare, there was nothing. However, on the ground in front of the wall, there is a rather large descending cave.
Seeing that the goblins were all in and out of that cave, the entrance to the underground vault of the Dark Spirit Pavilion was most likely below.
Maca flew into the cavern and took a look, and saw the minecart-like tracks inside like the underground of Gringotts. Just by looking at the neat row of tracks, it is estimated that this place is much larger than the vault of Gringotts.
After confirming the next step in the infiltration, Maca turned around and flew back again.
"If it's a box, it should be in this direction......"
He hurriedly confirmed the doorways on both sides of the main passage, and found a secondary passage with a track extension against the location of the private room in his memory.
In the course of this spiraling upward passage, a leprec-steadled car occasionally whizzed past in those tracks, making a loud clattering noise.
On both sides of this winding passage, there are heavy metal doors.
Compared to the Dark Spirit Pavilion, this is only the "above-ground" part, and it is obviously not the scope of the vault.
When you think about the situation in the box outside, it's not hard to guess what is behind these not-so-large metal doors.
Each private room for personal business is divided into an outer waiting room and an inner business room, and the innermost part of the business room is a sturdy metal door that is small but very thick.
Maca randomly chose a metal door and gently fell, turning back into the form of a fairy. After taking out the kettle and taking a sip of the compound decoction, he looked carefully at the door in front of him.
"Hmm...... There's only protection and reinforcement magic here, and there's no other mana flow, so it's supposed to be independent. ”
After careful consideration, he took out his staff and quickly knocked on the metal door, accompanied by a slight cracking sound, and the magic on it was directly violently destroyed by him.
After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no movement around, he waved his staff again to open the metal door, and then quickly put it away again.
"The magic text on this staff is too conspicuous, you have to think of a way to go back!"
As she pondered, Maca pulled open the slightly heavy metal door and slipped sideways through the small crack in the door.
As soon as he entered, he knew that his judgment was not wrong. Outside these metal doors are private rooms for large access and personal transactions.
Occasionally, before and after the auction, these rooms are also used to handle the consignment and pick-up of the lots.
Maca didn't stay long, glancing at the private room number, he immediately walked down the hallway in the direction of the hall.
To be on the safe side, although the stealth effect would not end for a while, he still made up a phantom spell for himself halfway.
More than twenty minutes later, Maca, Lupin, Hesja, Tonks, and Mrs. Weasley came to the private room in stealth.
"Behind that metal door leads all the way to the underground vault," Maca locked the door to the private room with a wave of her staff, "all right?" ”
Because of the accidents of Moody and Kingsley, the main combat power of the Order of the Phoenix is actually somewhat insufficient. Because of this, this time Mrs. Weasley is also among the candidates to infiltrate.
Of course, although Mrs. Weasley is always yelling and yelling, she also plays a good wife and mother at home. However, it would be a mistake to underestimate her magical prowess because of this.
Molly Weasley...... No, when she was called "Molly Prewitt", she was a Gryffindor with excellent academic performance.
Whether it's Defence Against the Dark Arts or Charms, she's better than her husband, Arthur Weasley, and not a little bit stronger.
Just like Lupin said about her - if Molly were serious, she would definitely be no worse than me, she was the top student of Gryffindor House in the first place!
Seeing that everyone looked at her in the affirmative, Maca took out four broomsticks, and after handing them to everyone, she attached a phantasmagoric charm to the broomsticks, making them invisible.
"There's only a minecart track behind - we'll have to fly!" "Once inside, go straight down, then ...... to the right Just follow me, the journey to the underground vault is not far, but the route is a little complicated, be careful not to lose it! ”
With that, he pushed open the metal door, and immediately stepped on an invisible magic book, falling straight down......
