Chapter 178: The Fairy's Vault
To ancient wizards, thirty-three was a sacred number.
The elves also maintained this tradition, with their pyramids, which had a total of thirty-three levels, and King Legnak lived on the very top floor, where the "gods" resided.
In the lowest room of the pyramid is Legnack's vault, which houses the treasures he has looted over the years.
Very few elves were able to get into it, and Carais, the devoted Chancellor of the Exchequer who had served for many years, was one of those few.
At night, Calais walked alone down the long staircase, through three massive arches, over a torch-lit slope, and finally to a double gate covered in spells.
A group of elves stood on either side, they were the captain of the guard tonight, the leader of the leader, Akuya, who stepped forward and asked:
"Mr. Calles, why are you here so late?"
"Slytherin wants to buy armor, and His Majesty asked me to pick up the purple armor."
"The purple armor has been around for many years, and it was built when Kuban was alive." Akuya gossiped: "The price is not cheap, is it? ”
"That boy is Salazar Slytherin's son, his godmother is Hufflepuff, his teacher is Gryffindor, and I heard that he will marry Ravenclaw's daughter and be someone's son-in-law!"
Calais said in a deep voice: "Hogwarts will be his family business from now on, and what they have is gold. ”
"Mom, such a big background?!" Akua had also heard of the wizard's Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and he envied:
"Wizards are born to wizards, and goblins are born to goblins...... It's all born, why is there such a big gap? ”
"Alright, hurry up and open the vault door." Karais took a quaint key from his pocket and handed it to Akuya:
"His Majesty is still waiting!"
"Well, Mr. Calles...... But I'll have to take two guards with you. Akua took the key and said with a smile on his face:
"It's not that I don't believe you, but last time Aruba was lazy and didn't follow up, and was found out by His Majesty the King and received a good beating.
He has now been sent to Ireland to grow potatoes. ”
"No problem." Kalas said with a blank face.
Akua inserted the key into the keyhole, and the door slowly opened with the creak of chains.
The four of them stepped into a narrow corridor made of black and red bricks, accompanied by footsteps echoing in the darkness, and entered a golden hall:
Gold coins and golden sands piled up; Emeralds, emeralds, agate, tourmalines, amber, opals and amethysts are filled with pearls in the light.
Akuya swallowed, his eyes hurt every time he came in and saw such a scene...... I really want to move back home.
"It's all here, can you move something?" A voice suddenly sounded, "Everyone has a share." ”
Akuya was startled, he thought he had accidentally said his heart, and quickly covered his chest, but he felt that something was wrong.
Akua looked at the arm on her shoulder, which was clearly the hand of a wizard.
He realized that something was wrong, and was about to turn around, when someone grabbed his neck.
Rove, who emerged from the phantom state, increased his strength with both hands, he grabbed Akuya's neck, lifted it up fiercely, and lifted his feet off the ground, blocking in front of him.
One of the elf guards had already drawn his sword and slashed at Rove, but it slashed at Akuya, the surface of the snow-white armor splashing brilliant sparks.
With a wave of his arm, a column of water condensed from the air, stabbing forward sharply, and slammed into the elf's head, shattering and blooming in a splash.
The elf flew backwards like a kite, spinning in the air a few times.
Rov grabbed Akuya's head and pressed down so hard that his back fell to the ground, and the boy stomped on him again, just in the face, and he passed out.
Cassandra had also defeated a goblin, and the two sides had settled down, and the three guards had fallen to the ground.
As far as the eye could see, there were gems and gold everywhere, but Rove didn't look at it, he just asked:
"Cassandra, where is the Stone of Destiny?"
Cassandra rubbed her fingers, and a very thin plume of smoke filled the room, wrapping around the room.
After a moment, the white mist condensed and drifted away into the distance.
Rove turned his head to look, only to see another door, but there were traces of melting, and there were protrusions on both sides of the door, indicating that the contents were trying to break through.
Rove looked at Calles, and under Cassandra's control, he replied:
"There's a Welsh green dragon guarding behind the door, it only recognizes Legnack, and anyone else who enters it will be directly attacked."
"Fire Dragon."
Rove frowned, he grabbed the iron door and pulled it open to the sides, the door creaking and screaming.
The boy waved his wand, and a water mirror flew out, reflecting the scene behind the door.
I saw another room behind the door, a Welsh green dragon with iron chains around its neck, and after it was woken up, it sniffed, and green smoke came out of its nostrils.
The green dragon suddenly opened its mouth, and the light and heat came together, catching a glimpse of the furnace-like scene, lighting up the room, which was a pale golden pillar of fire mixed with blood red and orange.
Obviously, as long as someone passes, they will be roasted by the dragon's breath.
Rove waited for a moment, waiting for the flames to go out, he suddenly took a step forward, turned his head to look at the fire dragon, and said in a loud voice:
"Dazzling glitter!"
The young man's eyes were shining brightly, the white light was dazzling, and the Welsh green dragon was so white that he couldn't see anything.
The dragon roared and moved wildly, the chains around its neck straightened, and it slammed back to the ground.
Rove took the opportunity to pull Cassandra and rushed over to another room.
This room looks much smaller, and there are many fewer items on it, but each item is much more valuable than the hall just now.
Rove searched the room and soon found a yellowish stone, which he held high, and the stone shone brightly, faintly lit up with a faint rays of light.
Rove gently stroked the stone, breathed a sigh of relief, and said:
"I've finally found you...... The Stone of Destiny, it's time to go home. ”
……
……
At the very top of the pyramid,
King Legnack yawned and walked out, dressed in a green brocade nightgown studded with pearls and silver thread, and he tied his robe as he walked to the cupboard.
Legnack pulled a bottle of wine out of the cupboard, uncorked it, and took a long sip with his head tilted, the wine flowing down his throat like a cold fire.
After he finished drinking, he wiped his mouth, looked at his attendant, and said angrily, "What's the matter?" Callum, do you have to wake me up now? ”
"Your Majesty." The elf named Calum shivered, and he held a crystal ball and said, "Someone just infiltrated the vault and touched the magic. ”
"What?"
Legnark took the crystal ball, only to see that it showed a picture inside: a young man holding a stone in his hand in a small room.
"Damn! Treacherous thieves! ”
Legnack shook his jeweled goblet and sprinkled wine all over his pajamas.
"What a Slytherin! I dared to steal it from Lao Tzu! ”
Legnac threw the cup to the ground, and he ordered:
"Lock the door of the vault immediately, let them die inside, and never get out again!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
