Chapter 130: Gringotts and the Vault
Lu Wu waved the flag and led the students into Gringotts.
First, through a gleaming bronze gate, flanked by elven guards in scarlet and gold uniforms, bowing to them.
This was followed by a second silver gate with many words engraved on it.
The gist is to warn those who come not to do anything out of greed, otherwise they will be severely punished.
Don't forget to add a curse at the end.
But the irony is that in the entire Harry Potter world, there is no one more greedy than this group of goblins.
Passing through the second gate, everyone entered the spacious marble hall, where about a hundred or so elves sat behind the long counter and registered something on the large ledger.
Others are using scales to scale gold coins, and some are using eyepieces to inspect gemstones.
The resurrection of the mysterious man has caused panic among the people, so there is an endless stream of people who come to Gringotts to handle business today.
However, most of them left in a hurry after receiving the money, without any delay.
After waiting for a few minutes, a counter was empty, and Malfoy hurriedly stepped forward to take his place, and then began to call his godfather.
Lu Wu took the students and came to the counter unhurriedly.
"Dear guest, what business do you want to handle?" High on the counter, an ugly goblin with a large round nose asks the mage for his intentions.
Lu Wu took out two pieces of paper with a seal and put them on the counter: "I'm a professor at Hogwarts, and I'm taking students to visit Gringotts today. ”
"Here's the warrant from the Ministry of Magic and Headmaster Dumbledore."
"Oh, so you're Professor Ryze." The leprechaun in the suit and leather shoes said enthusiastically, "We have been notified in advance that you and your students are welcome to visit." ”
"Please wait a minute, I'll inform the director."
With that, the goblin got up and walked into the room behind him, and after a while another goblin appeared.
The new goblin is also dressed in a suit and leather shoes, a pair of thick-bottomed glasses framed above the bridge of his nose, and two small black eyes, revealing the unique cunning of goblins.
"Dear Professor Reze, on behalf of Gringotts, I would like to welcome you."
"Please bring your students with me."
Subsequently, the goblin began to take everyone around for a tour, mainly to explain the things that each department is responsible for, as well as the job functions of each person.
By the way, I also talked about the history of Gringotts from the beginning of its establishment to the present.
These boring messages disappointed the young wizards who had been looking forward to the trip to Gringotts, who had come to play, not to listen to a history of magic lesson.
Even Lu Wu was drowsy when he heard it, so he said, "This goblin... Well... Mr. ”
"Can you skip this storytelling session and let's move on to the next step."
The goblin with thick-bottomed glasses also seemed to feel that this part was not so likable, so he hurriedly said, "Mr. Ruiz, I'm sorry, I'll take you to the next place." ”
"The most important place for the Wizarding Bank - the Gringotts Vault."
Then, it led Lu Wu and the others through the door at the back of the hall and into the narrow stone corridor.
At the end of the stone corridor, there is a small railway.
A dozen small carts connected together were prepared in advance and set up on the railroad tracks, surrounded by a team of wand-widled security guards standing there.
Led by the goblins, Lu Wu and the little wizards sat on the small cart in turn, and the team of security guards also sat on the last cart.
Obviously, he was afraid that on the way to the vault, someone would not be able to suppress the greed in his heart.
After everyone was seated, the enchanted cart began to start, and it drove quickly through the winding roadway like a maze.
On the way, you will also pass an underground lake with huge stalactites and stalagmites hanging above the lake.
The speed of the small cart is very fast, the cold air around it is whistling, coupled with the undulating terrain, it is inexplicably like riding a roller coaster.
Although it looks a little scary, it is very exciting.
Accompanied by the screams of the young wizards, the crowd passed through a rushing waterfall.
The waterfall is also enchanted, washing away all spells and magical camouflage when a fairy cart passes by, and flipping the cart off the tracks.
But Lu Wu and the students didn't pretend anything, so they were just poured into their hearts.
The soaking wet little wizard didn't feel angry, but thought it was quite funny, laughing at the embarrassed appearance of his companions one by one.
Afraid that this group of children would catch a cold, Lu Wu dried everyone's clothes with a snap of his fingers, even the clothes of the goblins and security guards.
They are also grateful for this.
Eventually, a long train of carts stopped at the end of the tracks, and the little wizards got out of the cart and discussed the exciting journey just now.
As they slowly quieted down, the goblin supervisor pulled out a strange metal utensil called Ding Dong Pian, which made a crisp and loud jingle when it shook it.
It's like a little hammer smashing on a felt.
The goblin swayed the dingdang piece as he led the group forward, a crisp and loud sound crashing into the surrounding walls and bouncing back into everyone's ears.
At the same time, it explains: "The vault on the ground floor, the most heavily secured place in the entire Gringotts, is usually guarded by a terrible fire dragon. ”
"But they're not really tamed."
"Using Dingdang tablets will allow these dangerous creatures to stop attacking us."
As soon as the little wizards heard that they would see dragons next, their expressions became more and more excited, and they all quickened their pace, eager to see this magical creature that they had only heard of in stories.
As a result, I didn't expect that the Ding Dang film prepared by the fairy director did not come in handy.
Because someone has already fought with the fire dragon first.
The fire dragon's high-pitched angry voice resounded throughout the vault cavern, and before it could get closer, it could already feel the scorching heat in the air.
Soon, at the end of the narrow corridor, the tumbling flames came towards everyone like a tide.
The crowd was shocked and chaotic, trying to find a place to hide.
Seeing this, Lu Wu raised his hand and waved, and the terrifying flames that had just been monstrous disappeared in an instant.
He then crossed the corridor to a circular platform surrounded by thick stone pillars, and the fire dragon that the elf director called was flapping its wings to vent its anger at the sky.
It's literal rage.
Pillars of fire with a diameter of more than several meters erupted from its mouth, close to the deep blue flame center and the rising temperature nearby, all proving the power of this flame.
In mid-air, a hooded wizard wearing a metal mask couldn't dodge, and was spit out by the dragon's breath, turning into a cloud of air in an instant.
Voldemort No. 1, who was standing not far from his Death Eaters, saw that the wizard was so incompetent, and finally couldn't help but take action.
Raising the wand in his hand, he shouted with murderous intent: "Avada suo!" ”
A dazzling green light shot out from the head of the staff, and the hideous head of the True Fire Dragon.
