Chapter 209: Greed for the Original Sin
Gringotts.
The full name is Gringotts Wizarding Silver
In the history of magic that Louis knew, the date of Gringotts' creation is unknown, but it is known that some wizards have worked here since about the 16th century, and it was not until the mid-19th century that the Ministry of Magic agreed that the elves had full control of Gringotts.
In the eyes of most wizards, Gringotts is undoubtedly the safest place in the entire wizarding world, with the exception of Hogwarts loyalists like Hagrid.
Because, in their eyes, the safest place is always Hogwarts, and Gringotts can only be ranked second.
I don't know.
There is no such thing as a safe place in the world, and Hogwarts has the possibility of being infiltrated by others, and Gringotts is equally likely to be stolen.
At least according to Louis's understanding, there are two cases of theft in the movie trying to infiltrate Gringotts, one is that Quirinus Quirrell, who was bewitched by Voldemort, delusionally tried to steal the Philosopher's Stone stored in Vault 713, but unfortunately Dumbledore was a good chess player and sent Hagrid to take the Ministry of Magic away early, so that he could not succeed.
Another time...
Well.
It was Harry and others, who collected Voldemort's Horcruxes, who secretly infiltrated with the assistance of the fairy Ring in order to get their hands on the Hufflepuff Gold Cup, which can be described as an extremely lucky success.
At this moment, with the help of an extremely ingenious way to infiltrate Gringotts, Louis did not know if his werewolf clone could be called the first person to secretly infiltrate Gringotts.
However, listening to the call in the Gringotts vault and realizing that Delphi had collected three of Voldemort's Horcruxes very cheating and stored them all in the underground vault of Gringotts, Louis was naturally in a pretty good mood.
After all, after taking these three Voldemort's Horcruxes, he only needed to be in the Room of Need, and then get one of the Horcruxes, the Ravenclaw Crown, and he could be regarded as having collected all four of Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes.
Even though it was early in the morning, the halls of Gringotts were still bustling with activity.
In the tall marble halls, Louis could still be seen as elves sitting on high stools behind long rows of counters, weighing coins with scales, ordinary-looking gems with eyepieces, or scribbling notes on ledgers.
There are countless doors in the hall, leading to different vaults.
The special call from the Horcrux apparently saved Louie a lot of trouble, and he quietly slipped through a door and entered a narrowly lit stone corridor.
"It's another place full of countless magic arrays, and the protection does seem to be more tight than the Slytherin Vault."
"Presumably, Voldemort in the movie was able to send Quirrell to secretly infiltrate Gringotts' low vaults, and he must have paid a lot of money to buy some goblin who works here, right?"
"Otherwise..."
"Quirrell can sneak in?"
"I don't believe it!"
Secretly said in his heart, Louis shook his head helplessly, and the magic array facing forward could only be analyzed repeatedly, and then integrated into it in the same way, and he didn't know how much time was wasted.
Thanks to the amazing amount of mana reserves in Louie's "Magic Golden Pill", plus the second turn of silent magic is indeed enough.
Before the light.
He finally reached a depth of hundreds of miles below London, avoided a few goblins with carts, and stopped in front of an oversized vault along the winding passage.
There is no doubt that the level of security varies from one vault to another in proportion to the size of the vault.
Normally, the largest and most protected vaults of all the underground vaults in Gringotts tend to belong to ancient pure-blood families, such as Louis who saw the Malfoys' vault on the way, and there were two Hungarian tree bee dragons tied to the outside, and I don't know if it was from Lucius Malfoy or the handiwork of the elves.
On the other hand, the Potter family, the vault that will be inherited by Harry in the future...
Tut.
Shabby and unschooled
The shabby here simply refers to the level of security.
The reason is that Harry's grandfather was a money-maker, and he left a mountain of Galleons for future generations by developing shampoo potions, but there were no decent precautions outside the vault, and even all that was needed to open the vault was a key, which was no different from the vault in front of Louis.
However, the more than a dozen fire dragons tethered to this vault obviously couldn't stop Louis from advancing.
Manipulating the second turn of the "Magic Golden Pill", silently manipulating the magic power, aiming at the more than ten fire dragons in front of him at the same time, he used spiritual manipulation.
"Hum..."
In the blink of an eye.
The fire dragons outside the vault were all reduced to Louis's loyal servants.
Exploring the depths of their memories with mental reading, Louis found a way to open the vault from the depths of their memories without much effort.
It's a pity ...
To open this vault in the usual way, it takes not only Delphi's magic power, but also the fingers of some elf
As a result, Louis had to stay outside the vault and ponder for a while, and finally got his wish and cracked several layers of codes on the vault door, so that the door of the vault turned into a square piece and slowly gathered together, turning it into a pedal for people to enter.
Inside the vault, below is a blazing fire, and floating above are Voldemort's three Horcruxes, namely Marvolo Gaunt's ring, Slytherin's locket, and Hufflepuff's gold cup.
The floating image of these three Horcruxes is a "pin" shape.
In it, in addition to the instant perception of Voldemort's remnant soul, Louis is most obviously the Rune alphabet condensed by Delphi's use of old magic and magic.
Therefore, even the most brainless thief can imagine that the three Horcruxes floating in front of him must have been set up by Delphi, and the slightest mistake will be eaten by the magic of the past.
But where is Delphi's cleverness?
It is precisely she who exploits the weakness of human nature.
Greedy!
"Just take any of Voldemort's... No, it was any two Horcruxes, and Delphi's traps using old magic could not be triggered. ”
"But if the greedy man takes Voldemort's three Horcruxes at once..."
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Louis couldn't help but sigh deeply, and later reluctantly took the Slytherin locket and the Hufflepuff gold cup, leaving only the most valuable Marvolo Gaunt's ring, and relocked the door of the vault.
Obviously.
After reading Delphi's many arrangements, Louis realized that she was not cheating on her father when she collected the three Horcruxes, but left a way for Voldemort to live wholeheartedly.
At this time, if Louis touches the mechanism left behind by Delphi, he will have to pay a heavy price, and the werewolf clone will die here.
Moreover...
Who knows if there is any rest of the arrangement inside Marvolo Gaunt's ring?
It was not a good deal for Xindao to pay a werewolf clone for the remaining Horcruxes, so Louis had to forcibly curb the greed that sprouted in his heart and temporarily left Marvolo Gaunt's ring in the vault.
And Louie clearly made a wise decision.
Because, when he was manipulating the werewolf clone to soar on the way home, continuing to calculate the last Horcrux, there was a drunken sound suddenly from the ring of Marvolo Gaunt, who was floating alone in the vault.
"Greed..."
"It's original sin!"
