Diagon Alley, Gringotts.

Percy stood in front of the gates of Gringotts, his eyes full of indescribable mixed emotions. Every wizard would want to have a vault of their own in Gringotts, a symbol of wealth and honor, and Percy was no exception.

But he wasn't old enough to graduate, and the Weasleys didn't have enough Garons to put in the vault.

Ash could see the look of envy in Percy's eyes and understand why he was feeling this way.

Of all the pure-blood families, the Weasleys are absolute outliers - not because they are poor, but because they are poor, poor is only a consequence, not a cause.

On the one hand, the Weasleys, as a well-deserved pure-blood family, not only did not have the superiority of other pure-blood families over ordinary wizards and Muggles, but openly declared that their ancestors included Muggles, and were even proud that there were many Muggles among their ancestors - even though they were related to almost all the old wizarding families in England!

This makes pure-blood advocates ashamed of them and call them 'traitors'.

However, the Weasleys' closeness to Muggles did not bring them closer to ordinary wizards.

Because although those Muggle-born wizards will have a good impression of the Weasleys because of this, these wizards are very few after all.

And the rest of the wizards who are neither Muggle-born nor pure-blood families, and most of them will try their best to connect with pure-blood families: some of them want to marry into wealthy families, and some are willing to join the family, but most of them belong to pure-blood families as dogs.

But even as dogs, the Weasleys are out of the range of these wizards' because they are 'pure-bloods' - everyone hates pure-bloods, and everyone wants to be purebloods.

Because what they hate is not a pure-blood family, but why they are not pure-blood!

As dogs for other pure-blood families, they can pretend to be tigers and look down on ordinary wizards as a human being.

But if they are dogs to the Weasleys, they will not enjoy such 'glory', but will laugh at other dogs.

On the other hand, the Weasleys are too 'old-fashioned'.

Almost all wizards are old-fashioned, but the Weasleys are different in this regard.

While other wizards were rigid in their insistence that wizards are superior and Muggles are inferior, the Weasleys were not at all rigid in this regard, but rather very open-minded, and the Weasleys were always very disciplined - at least until Arthur Weasley's generation.

Because of the rules, the Weasley family will not go to the wrong door, but will only work honestly to earn money, which makes the pure-blood family look down on the Weasley family even more - if there is a privilege, it will not be used, isn't it a shame for pureblood?

The result of this combination of factors was that Arthur Weasley was the only one in the entire Weasley family who worked at the Ministry of Magic, and Mrs. Weasley, like any other traditional woman, was at home juggling chores and several children.

Just imagine if the Weasleys were replaced with ordinary families. Only rely on the male owner's salary to support a family of nine people, and seven of them are gold-swallowing beasts who need to go to school, who is poor if you are not poor?

Of course, because the Weasleys are well-behaved, such people are good friends, at least they won't betray you for profit.

And that's exactly what Ash did.

Ash walked over to a spare counter, stepped on his feet and handed the key to the elf, saying:

"Vault 542, here's the key."

The old elf removed the spectacle demon slightly, and looked at Ash as he took a closer look at the key. He quickly made sure the key was genuine, and beckoned another elf to take them to the vault.

The three Percy brothers all seemed to be riding Gringotts' 'subway' for the first time, and although they were very restrained not to show that they had never seen the world, their excitement betrayed them.

George whispered:

"It's a good thing Ron didn't come, otherwise the car wouldn't have been able to sit down."

Gringotts' trolley is limited to four people, not counting the driver.

Fred gloated and said:

"He'll have to stay and help mom catch the goblins."

Percy said calmly:

"Mom must have known about this and didn't let him come."

The trolley winds down the railway tracks and finally stops at a platform at the end of which is a small door.

There are three numbers on it, 542.

"Please give me the key."

The elf walked to the door and held out his hand to Ash, who had already prepared and handed it the key - all Gringotts doors could only be opened by goblins, it was an iron rule.

Not just out of rigor, but also because the doors were magically applied and only elves could open them.

The leprechaun inserts the key into the lock hole and rotates it gently.

Click!

A puff of green smoke billowed out, knocking out the few people who couldn't dodge.

And when the smoke cleared, a brilliant golden yellow almost blinded their eyes—the vault was full of mountains of Garons!

George's mouth opened wide and he forgot his words for a moment.

Fred muttered:

"I've never seen so many Galleons, maybe we won't earn so much as a family in our lifetime!"

Percy looked away from the pile of gold coins with difficulty, and whispered:

"It's an exaggeration, but it's not much."

Ash walked into the vault, and Percy and the others remained outside, swallowing and not daring to enter.

Ash walked around the mountain of gold gallons and frowned as he looked at the vault, which was empty except for gold coins. But soon he remembered something and turned his gaze to the wall in front of him.

He pulled out his silver-white wand and waved it lightly:

"Revelio!"

As the spell was cast, the vault did not change, but a familiar symbol appeared in front of Ash's eyes, like intertwined lightning bolts, and like burning flames.

"Sure enough."

Ash stepped forward silently, reaching out and gently touching the symbol.

The next moment, the wall suddenly trembled violently.

Bang!

The stone slabs on the surface move downwards to reveal a hidden space in the wall, a small storage cabinet.

Inside is a small, beautifully decorated cylindrical box with sharp ends, and its surface also bears the symbols that have just been seen.

Bite!

When Ash reached for it, the box opened automatically, revealing a key with a symbol resembling it.

Ash had seen the key, the key to Vault 12.

Compared to the mountain of gold gallons, this key is the real relic that Professor Figo left him. The mechanism set up by ancient magic also ensured that the key would only be in Ash's hand.

"Thank you, Professor Figo." Ash muttered under his breath.

Professor Figo's wife was brutally murdered by Lanlock for searching for the secrets of ancient magic, and he left no descendants himself, always treating Ash as if he were his own son. Ash also has a lot of respect for the professor, even though he has been hiding from Professor Figo for some experiments that the other party will not tolerate.

But as long as Professor Figo doesn't know that he did the experiment, it means that he hasn't done it.

If you don't find it, you don't have it, and if you don't say it's zero card!

The three Percy didn't dare to enter the vault, and because there were mountains of gold gallons blocking their view, they couldn't see what Ash was doing.

Ash quietly put the box and key into her inventory, grabbing a few handfuls of gold gallons and stuffing them into her pocket. After all, in the eyes of the three Percy, this is what he is here for. If he doesn't take anything, it will arouse suspicion.
