Chapter Seventy-Eight: Vault No. 713
Gringotts' vault was located in the basement of the hall, and the goblins who had received them walked through a bronze door, and by the light of the torches, they passed through a narrow, dimly lit stone corridor to a platform paved with suspended rails.
"Everyone, please come with me."
The elf spoke politely, but before he could finish speaking, he boarded the car parked in front of the platform without looking back.
"Don't worry about him, the goblins of Gringotts aren't very friendly to humans."
Ah Bai explained to the three of them in a low voice, and then took the lead in getting into the car, cleared his throat and said:
"My lucky number is seven, please show us the vault with the seven in it."
"Seven in the number? Then it's better to take you directly to see the vault after 700! The goblin replied impatiently.
"Yes, no problem at all!" Knowing that he would say this, Ah Bai immediately answered, and said in a very affirmative tone, "Let's go and see the vault after seven hundred!" ”
"Seven hundred years later? Are you sure? The vaults there are not cheap, and you have to pay at least 10 Galleons a month for rent! ”
The goblin looked at Ah Bai with hillbilly-like eyes and said arrogantly.
"Hmph, do you think I can't afford that?" Ah Bai pronounced in his nose, expressing his dissatisfaction in his heart, and at the same time took out 10 Galleon gold coins and threw them into the abyss outside the platform.
Local tyrant, well done!!
Seeing Ah Bai's movements, Rosie, who followed Erin into the carriage, secretly praised him, and at the same time turned back and motioned to Jiang Jing behind the hall to follow.
However, this time he turned around, but found that Jiang Jing's eyes were looking at the dark abyss.
……
"Jiang Jing, hurry up and get in the car!"
Rosie called him helplessly, and suddenly felt a burst of amusement in his heart: "What a money fan!" ”
At the same time as Jiang Jing stepped into the carriage, the impatient goblin immediately pulled the joystick and let the car run slowly.
"Hold on to the handrails."
"Huh? Is it necessary to drive at such a slow speed? Hearing Ah Bai's reminder, Erin asked in surprise.
As soon as her words fell, the speed of the car suddenly increased.
Due to inertia, except for Ah Bai, who was holding on to the handrail, the other three all fell backwards unsteadily.
Rossi, who crashed into the carriage uncontrollably, subconsciously grabbed the armrest with his right hand, and just wanted to stand firmly, but the car suddenly made a sharp turn to the right.
The turn made her completely unbalanced and slammed into her right.
However, instead of crashing into the carriage as she had imagined, she fell into a strong, warm embrace.
Belch......
Rosie raised his eyes to look, but saw Jiang Jing, who was standing close to the corner of the carriage, looking at him with his lips pursed, the light of the torch smeared red on his face, and when he saw her gaze, his dark eyes immediately drifted to the side.
"Yikes!"
As the car turned right again, Erin suddenly screamed, but she finally fell backwards this time, grazing Rosie's shoulder, and hit Jiang Jing's chest hard.
"Haha! Tell you to hold on to the handrails! ”
Seeing this, Ah Bai couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing this, Rosie couldn't help but give him a blank look, reached out and lightly touched Erin's back to make her stand firmly, and then grabbed the armrest on the other side with both hands to stabilize her figure.
The speeding car drove through the winding passage for about two minutes, and finally slowed down.
"This vault has just been vacated, do you want to take a look?" The fairy said, pointing to a gate numbered 704.
Ah Bai shook off his hands that had been grasping the armrests, and said with a chuckle:
"Normally, after choosing the first one, you will regret it in the end, so I might as well skip it!"
Seeing the puzzled look on the goblin's face, he added with a smile:
"What is the next empty vault number? I decided to watch this one! ”
"Well...... Let me think about it. ”
The goblin pushed down the glasses on the bridge of his nose, thought for a moment, and said, "Number 711, this vault was ...... yesterday"
"That's it! Take us to see it! ”
Before he could finish speaking, Ah Bai immediately clapped his hands and said.
Hearing him say this, the goblin pouted speechlessly, and then drove the car slowly forward a few meters and stopped next to the vault numbered 711.
A few people stepped out of the carriage and watched as the goblin took out a golden key and slowly walked to the door lock.
Just as he opened the door, Ah Bai silently drew his wand and pointed it at him quietly.
Seeing this, Rosie hurriedly stepped forward and pressed his wand down while giving Ah Bai a look.
The door of the vault slowly opened, and the goblin, unaware of his own walking back and forth on the brink of death, turned around and introduced:
"This vault has a security level of four, and the door can only be opened with a trait key and opened by an authorized elf. So, no matter what you store inside, it's absolutely private and safe. ”
"Really?" Rosie brushed her hair and asked with a low chuckle, "If the dark wizards have their eyes on the things here, are you sure they won't be able to steal them?" ”
The goblin tilted his chin and said proudly:
"No dark wizard would dare to steal Gringotts' territory!"
"And what about Voldemort?" Rosie looked at the elf's sharply narrowed pupils, a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth.
"No, you can't mention that name!"
The frightened fairy, whose face turned pale, couldn't help but scream, shocked and stunned.
"So, does he have what it takes to steal the contents of the vault?" Rosie asked again with a smile.
The goblin opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, but changed the subject:
"I can't answer this question, do you want to rent this vault?"
"Wait a minute, let's go first and see before making a decision."
The four of them walked into the empty vault one after another, and pretended to check it around.
The goblin didn't seem to have recovered from the horror of hearing Voldemort's name, so he didn't follow up, but stood by the cart and waited in horror.
A short time later, Rossi suddenly heard the sound of a car slowing down outside the vault.
"Chief, why are you here?"
"Go to Vault 713 and do something."
……
It seems that the Lord is coming!
Rosie and Jiang Jing glanced at each other, and after hearing the sound of the car stopping, they waited unhurriedly for a minute before slowly walking out of the vault.
"How's it going, are you looking?" The goblin asked without annoyance.
"Look, let's go home and take the things that need to be kept, and then we'll handle the storage."
Noticing that Ah Bai was taking money from the inventory, Jiang Jing immediately stepped forward and said to the goblin: "I think, this request is not unreasonable. ”
"Of course, but you'll need to pay a portion of the deposit, so I can reserve this vault for you."
"We'll come in an hour at most, what security deposit?" Saying that, Jiang Jing snorted coldly and continued, "If you have to make a deposit, then we won't rent it!" ”
As he spoke, he gave the other three a look and walked back to the car first, and the three Rossi followed.
"Oh no, of course, if it's not long, it's okay not to pay the deposit." The elf, who was worried about the loss of business, quickly followed, "I'm worried that the Hogwarts professors who came to rent the vault at night will also take a fancy to this place." ”
Although he was anxious, the four people in the car didn't care at all, only Jiang Jing waved his hand perfunctorily, not caring about the content of the words at all.
By this time, their attention had been focused on the small car parked not far away, and gathered on the half-blood giant who had walked out of Vault 713 with a boy.
He was tall and thickly haired, and accompanied by an elderly leprechaun with sparse silver hair and wrinkled skin, slowly walked up to the cart.
