Chapter 052
Chapter 52: The action begins.
Below Gringotts is a hollow that is almost hollowed out. Looking at it, one can’t help but feel the cold sweat for Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley.
No, given the size and scale of the hole, Leonard was even a little worried about the London Underground lines.
Like the crooked buildings in Diagon Alley, the underground of Gringotts does not pay attention to any mechanical support. Newton does nothing here and relies entirely on his awesome brother to make the decision.
Leonard and Midgard were led by the goblin to get on an orbital pulley. As the magic started, the pulley followed the curved and rotating rails all the way down, heading deep underground.
”Please sit tight, we still have a ways to go.”The goblin controlled the pulley and said,”There are treasuries built in the past few hundred years around here. Just as you are worried, although the defense force here is also very good, the treasury below is even more tightly guarded.”
Leonard looked around curiously, looking at the rocks and vaults that violated mechanics. From time to time, he could see the pulleys that other guests passed by under the leadership of fairies.
”Please hold your breath.”At this time, the goblin suddenly shouted.
Leonard looked at the goblin in confusion, and suddenly heard a roaring sound in his ears, and at the same time, a stream of water mist came to his face.
Not far ahead, he saw a waterfall falling from the track. Passing by.
Leonard quickly held his breath and passed through the water.
However, when the pulley rushed out of the waterfall, Leonard found that the clothes on his body did not even leave any water stains.
The water in this waterfall seemed to have no weight, although You can feel the feeling of moisture, but your clothes will not get wet.
Only the ancient buds under Leonard’s clothes seem to feel something. They stick their heads out and shake the branches and leaves, which seems to be very comfortable.
”That is the anti-thief waterfall, which can wash away any magic. Only the vault below will pass through it.”The goblin explained, emphasizing that the vault below is safer than the vault above.
”Gringotts is the safest bank in the world. Placing Galleons here is absolutely safe and no one can invade it.”
In short, it means”It’s definitely worth the money you spent.””
Leonard didn’t speak, but nodded reservedly.
As the pulley gradually deepened, the surrounding light became darker and darker. Soon the pulley arrived at a building complex, deflected the track, and slowly stopped.
”Here we are, vault 12.”The goblin jumped out of the car and said.
Leonard and Midgard also jumped out of the car and looked around. There are also many guards here. The goblins stood in a place with a wide view and had a panoramic view of the vault. It’s almost the same when we get here. Leonard winked at Midgard.
Midgard understood and quietly crushed a glass ball in his pocket.
At the back door of Gringotts, Marcus, who was on standby, stared at the palm of his hand. From time to time, he raised his head to pay attention to the movements around him.
Marcus held a small alchemical creation in his right hand, and his eyes fell on it as if he was expecting something. As if he was waiting for something.
Suddenly, the alchemy creation cracked, and Marcus’ eyes moved. He stood up.
It was time to start work.
While no one was looking at him, Marcus took out his wand, pointed it at the back
door of Gringotts in the distance and waved it vigorously.
Boom!
A ball of flames engulfed Gringotts. The back door was destroyed, and the huge explosion instantly triggered the Gringotts alarm and caused panic among passers-by in Diagon Alley.
Markarth did not hesitate in the smoke and escaped into the crowd in the chaos.
According to the plan, his mission It’s done.
The goblin, who was frightened by the sudden explosion, straightened the hat on his head and hurriedly released a magic signal into the air.
The Aurors patrolling around Gringotts immediately surrounded him and blocked Gringotts. Surrounded, and inside Gringotts, the signal of the attack was transmitted layer by layer, and soon spread throughout the entire Gringotts.
At this time, Quirrell, who was sneaking underground to the Hogwarts vault, shuddered, because Voldemort, who was wrapped around his neck, suddenly tightened his body.
”Lord…Master? Quirrell asked in horror,”What’s wrong with you?””
The viper poked his head out from Quirrell’s collar, and glanced around with vicious eyes.”I have a bad feeling.”
”Bad feeling? Quirrell was confused.”What happened?””
They were already deep underground and didn’t even hear the explosion coming from the back door of Gringotts.
”Don’t know, but we have to hurry.”After Voldemort finished speaking, he shrank back.
Voldemort’s abnormal behavior made Quirrell a little uneasy. He quickly urged the goblin leading the way,”Hurry up, take us to the vault quickly.”
”yes.”The goblin nodded and was about to quicken his pace when suddenly a huge shadow flashed past his head.
Quirrell looked up suddenly and saw a fire dragon with a chain around its neck hovering above their heads.
”Unregistered intruder found!”A goblin riding on the back of a fire dragon stuck his head out and shouted after seeing Quirrell below.
He pulled the bridle full of spikes around the fire dragon’s neck. The fire dragon roared, and the flames in its mouth focused on Quirrell below. A mouthful of hot phlegm.
The dazzling firelight illuminated Quirrell’s frightened face…
At the same time, deep in the underground vault of Gringotts.
News of the attack on Gringotts had reached the goblins stationed here through special channels. In the ears.
The goblins in guard uniforms immediately took action, scrambling to get on the pulley and leave upwards.
”What happened?”Leonard asked deliberately as he watched the guards leave.
The goblin in front of him showed a forced smile,”It’s just a small disturbance, don’t worry.”
He can’t say that Gringotts, which he just vowed to be absolutely safe, has been invaded, can he?
That smile is extremely eye-catching. The so-called goblin is actually the transliteration of goblin, which is the so-called”goblin”, not The kind of elf with wings.
You can imagine what kind of face it is. The fake smile squeezed out of this face can definitely stop a child from crying at night. That is to say,
Leonard is not a child mentally. Otherwise, howl high and low
”Yeah?”Leonard glanced at Midgard.
Midgard nodded, quietly came behind the goblin, and raised his wand.
”The soul is out of body.”
A faint voice sounded, and a wisp of white smoke rose from the goblin’s head and merged into Midgard’s wand.
”Well, he’s been controlled. Midgard put away his wand.”What to do next?””
”Of course it’s about picking a target.”Leonard took the book from the goblin’s hand and looked at the list on it.
