Gringotts Wizarding Bank is the only wizarding bank in Europe and the safest bank in the world (of course, this is said by the goblins who opened Gringotts), because some of the bank's safes can only be opened by Gringotts goblins. Wizards can't sneak in with magic, and their defensive magic is second only to Hogwarts, and even the Ministry of Magic can only be relegated to third.

Walk through Gringotts' gleaming bronze gates, where elven guards in scarlet and gold uniforms stand and bow to them.

Passing through the second silver gate into the spacious marble hall, Black began to speak with the principal, and after proving his identity, several of them were able to enter the narrow stone corridor that served as the entrance to the vault, with a small railroad underneath, and the head of the elf led them in a small cart through the middle of a labyrinthine winding road.

The cart was too small to fit everyone, and Moody and Lupin didn't want to go down to see it, but Tonks insisted on seeing the Black family's vault, so Black took Lockhart and Tonks into the car.

Despite being a celebrity in the wizarding world, Lockhart is also very wealthy. But in reality, his fame means nothing to the elves, and his wealth and treasures can't compare to those of the ancient pure-blood wizard families, so this is also the first time he has visited the important vault area.

The guards of the vault were a dragon, very large, but they were rendered defenseless by the sound of metal tools in the goblins' hands. All three of Lockhart have seen the world, and he and Tonks even participated in a dragon slay, which is not very scary compared to the spirited adult black dragon on the island of Atlantis.

Everything was smooth, but as Lockhart and the others stood in front of the door of the Black family's vault, he remembered something important - Bellatrix was married! Lockhart had always remembered that she was Black's cousin, but he had forgotten that she was now a member of the Lestrange family, and even if Voldemort had given her the Horcruxes for safekeeping before she was imprisoned, she would have kept them in the Lestrange family vault instead of the Black family vault!

At this time, the goblin had already opened the Black family's vault, but Lockhart stood in shock at what he suddenly remembered.

"Gildero, you're coming in. Tonks looked at him strangely, but driven by curiosity, stepped into the vault first.

"Oooh. Lockhart reacted, it was useless to think about this now, even Dumbledore couldn't force his way into an important vault, he followed Tonks into the vault.

Larger than the average vault...... That's for sure, but to Lockhart's surprise, as soon as he entered the vault, he felt as if all the magical elements in the air had left his body - in layman's terms, he could only use the magic power in his body now, and he could not use the magic power of the outside world, and his combat power suddenly fell to less than one-fifth of the original one.

Gringotts really lives up to its reputation! With this trick, it is difficult for a wizard to rob Gringotts' vault, no wonder he dares to claim to be the safest vault in the world, even if it is the wizard from China, in this kind of place where he is completely unable to communicate with the magic of the outside world, he can only be slightly more powerful than himself.

――

The oldest pure-blood family, as expected, lives up to its name, there are no such cheesy things as gold galleons and gold nuggets in the vault, all of them are ancient and exquisite crafts and enchanted items that cannot be named, and there are so many things in the vault that cannot be described, and the dazzling can no longer describe Lockhart's state at this time. Like a hillbilly entering the city, Lockhart now put the Horcrux thing behind him and greedily looked at the various treasures in the vault.

Tonks's clumsy mistake was repeated at this point, and she accidentally knocked over a bunch of things to the ground, and all kinds of crafts fell to the ground in a ping-pong ball.

"Don't move!" called Blake, "I'll pick it up, it's not good for you to bend over the baby in your belly." ”

Tonks was startled by Blake's shout, pouted, crouched down and picked it up.

"Oh my God, Sirith, how much is it worth to sell all your stuff here?" Lockhart picked up a delicate gold ball and injected it with a slight amount of magic, and it immediately appeared, pointing out that it was a magic compass. "I'm afraid a few hundred million Galleons aren't worth it. ”

"It's irresponsible to measure the wealth of the Black family by gold gallons...... Tonks glanced at Lockhart as if he were a redneck, "When the Black family began to grow stronger, the gold galleon currency was not yet born!"

"Well, as long as you know how ......"

"Mr. Black, hurry up if you want to take anything, the door will close automatically when the time comes," the goblin standing outside the door reminded in a friendly manner, "I don't have permission to open it a second time, and you'll have to wait inside for a day." ”

"Well, Gildero, and Tonks," Blake himself seemed much more calm, "to discover the soul...... Is that thing?"

"Obviously not, but it's worth the trip to take anything here!" Lockhart exclaimed, "You are so rich, let your godson live a good life." ”

"No, no, boys have to be poor, and they can't get used to it......" Blake shook his head, "let's go, we don't have to put down the things in our hands, I'll give them to you." ”

"If Mundungus had listened to you here, he could have the whole vault in his hands. Tonks teased, "But thanks, I love this stuff." ”

"You're welcome...... Lockhart put things in his pocket without any embarrassment, "Thanks." ”

After all three of them left the vault, the leprechaun began to use magic to close the door to the vault.

"Mr. Gerchinlon," Lockhart said to the goblin in a friendly manner, "where is the Lestrange family's vault?"

"It's just downstairs," the leprechaun screeched, "but it's strange that you've just come out of the Black family vaults and become interested in the Lestrange family vaults—the Lestrange family is less than a tenth of the Black family's wealth." ”

"Ah, I just know someone from the Lestrange family, just ask......"

"There's no point in asking me, every goblin only has the right to open one vault, and if you want to know about the Lestrange family's vault, you'll have to find another elf. The little goblin's words immediately dispelled Lockhart's intention to use the Imperius Charm to control the goblin into the Lestrange family's vault.

Tonks was excited, Blake was smiling, and Lockhart was worried, and the three left the vault. Although he subconsciously knew that it was unlikely that Voldemort would have given the cup to Bellatrix for safekeeping more than ten years ago, he was still very embarrassed to get the vault wrong once...... But the rest of the Order of the Phoenix apparently didn't think so.

Hearing that there were no Horcruxes in the vault, Lupin and Moody both had "this is normal" expressions, and Tonks was excited to ask Blake to hurry up and invite them to dinner.

When they arrived at the restaurant they had promised, the waiter told them that Montungus had already ordered the food and was waiting for Blake to come and pay.

This is a ...... Everyone smiled bitterly, but except for Moody, the others were smaller than Mundungus, and Blake didn't have any opinion, so he just went in and sat next to Mundungus to eat.
