Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Although Ivan has been to Gringotts many times before, he has never entered the underground vault. His gold Galleon(s) basically comes with his money.
Like Hermione, he has never been to the depths of Gringotts.
Only Harry, because his parents left him a legacy, he had to go to his vault to pick up some gold Galleon(s) as tuition before the start of school every year.
Whether you have been to the Gringotts underground or not, they have a strong interest in the vaults of the Black family.
Although according to Sirius, there is nothing beautiful in it, it is just filled with boring gold.
But it ’s shocking enough to think of a room filled with gold.
Today is first day after Christmas. Like the muggle(s) street outside, the Diagon Alley is cold and deserted, covered with snow everywhere.
On the street, except for a few of them, no other people can be seen, and many shops are not opened.
Everyone was still a little worried that Gringotts did not open the door.
But when they walked to the towering snow-white loft in the Diagon Alley central square, the thick snow on the ground was cleared, and the bright Winky's bronze door was also opened. An Goblin(s) wearing a scarlet and gold uniform was standing there .
"Goblin(s) people are extremely dedicated. They are open all year round. During the Christmas holidays, only Gringotts will open as usual." Lupin whispered.
"Do n’t mislead the children, Remus! We all know why Goblin(s)s do n’t rest, not dedicated, but because they are greedy enough. To me, these Goblin(s) do n’t care about Christmas." Sirius said disdainfully, "Yes For them, gold is more important than festivals. "
Sirius did n’t lower his voice. The Goblin(s) standing in front of the Tongmen obviously heard this sentence, and looked at them a little bit less friendly than usual.
He still bowed to everyone, but the action was abrupt.
Ivan saw that this Goblin(s) seemed to be about the same height as him. He had a smart dark face and a sharp beard. His hands and feet were particularly long.
"Gentlemen, please go here!" He led them into the Gringotts.
Behind the bronze gate is the second silver gate.
When I first came to Gringotts, Ivan just felt that the door was extremely exquisitely made.
Later, by reading the relevant literature, he knew that the door in front of him was the gate when the ancient spirit was first established thousands of years ago. It was made of Goblin(s) in sterling silver, and a lot of magic was refined on it by the greatest alchemy teacher at that time. .
The ancient magic may no longer work, but the door itself is of historical value.
A line of text is engraved on the two door, which is the left behind warning message of the Goblin(s)s. It seems to be a curse. The use of poetry to express the thieves will be bad.
In Gringotts, behind the long counter, the Goblin(s)s sat on the high stools and received the first customers of the day. The Goblin(s) who led them in led them to a very old Goblin(s) in the center.
"Sirius Black!" Seeing Sirius, the Goblin(s) was obviously very surprised, "It ’s a rare customer, what can I do for you today?"
Perhaps thinking of Sirius ’s past dark experience in Azkaban and the rumors of Death Eater(s) outside that he was a murderous and blinkless one, Goblin(s) shuddered.
"I want to go to the vault, not my own vault, but the vault of the Black family." Sirius added an accent to the three words of the Black family.
"The vault of the Black family ?!" The elderly Goblin(s) backed away and then leaned out of the counter. "Did you carry the key?"
"Bring it!" Sirius found a rusty Scabbers key and threw it on the counter.
Ivan noticed that the key was very long, with the family emblem of the Black family engraved on it.
"Very good, there is no problem." Goblin(s) continued frowning, "We can let you in, but you know, the old vault of your family is in a special area, the surrounding protection measures are very strong, you better Only one person ... "
"We want to go down together, I don't care about any special areas!" Sirius said impatiently, "Don't waste time, there are many things waiting for me to do."
They froze for a while, and finally took a step back.
Lupin stayed on and waited for them, Sirius went with Ivan, Harry, Hermione. Goblin(s) agreed to this suggestion. In his view, Ivan they are only children, they simply can not meet the precautionary qualifications.
Seeing the other party being so cautious, Ivan is more curious about the vault of the Black family in a special area, and guesses that there can be anything in it.
"Griphook, you took them four to the underground vault." The old Goblin(s) beckoned and said to Goblin(s) who had just led them in.
It seems that Griphook had expected this for a long time, and his eyes flashed with bad intentions.
Behind the counter was a narrow side door. He ran to open the door for them.
Ivan walked in. He would have seen an architectural style similar to the tall marble hall outside, but in front of him was a narrow stone corridor, which was illuminated by a burning torch, as if it were an ancient mine. hole.
The stone corridor is a steep downhill **** with a small railway underneath.
Griphook whistled, and a small cart rushed towards them along the railway.
Harry first climbed into the car and looked very skilled. He introduced to Ivan and Hermione who followed him what he should pay attention to.
"This car will run fast for a while, you better grasp it a little bit." Harry reminded, "The road inside is winding and winding, like a maze."
Hearing Harry's, Ivan and Hermione is all prepared.
But the running speed of the trolley is far beyond their imagination. The Sirius that came up just finished, Griphook pointed.
The cart starts suddenly, and the speed is getting faster and faster, as if there is no limit.
It led a few of them whistling into a gap in the wall, galloping along the labyrinthine winding path and rushing forward.
Dark underground, the cold air is coming.
The click of the car makes the Ivan hear nothing. All he knew was that they kept turning sharply between the stalactites and galloping deep into the earth.
Beside Ivan, Sirius, Harry, and Hermione's hair flew backwards, and the three of them did not look very good, and looked around nervously.
Only the Goblin(s) called Griphook was particularly happy. He turned around and looked at them a few times.
Griphook waved his finger from time to time. After each shaking, the speed of the trolley would be accelerated.
Because of what Sirius just said, he is retaliating against them.
In addition to being greedy enough, Goblin(s) is definitely the smallest-minded creature in the world, and it must be reported.
If you accidentally offend a Goblin(s), he may remember it forever.
Although I know that the other party is doing bad things, I am definitely trying to kill Griphook.
Ivan gritted his teeth and insisted that after twenty minutes, the four of them had rushed deeper into the ground.
They passed through an underground lake, covered with huge stalactites and stalagmites, hanging down to the ground.
"I haven't been to such a deep place before!" Harry shouted loudly, "I just passed through the rocks and it seems that anything is breathing fire ..."
His cries suddenly stopped, they quickly turned a sharp corner, and the cart stopped slowly.
"Please get off, everyone! We have to change the car, and we need to use a deeper cart to the Black family vault." Griphook took the lead in jumping down, "Please go here, we need to walk for a while."
But no one was moving except him, and everyone stared at the front with stunned eyes.
In front of them, Ivan saw what Harry had just seen, a huge Dragon tethered to the ground not far away, preventing people from approaching the vault deeper.
Due to confinement in the ground for too long, the scales on the dragon ’s body have become pale and loose, its eyes are turbid pink, and heavy shackles are worn on both hind legs. Drive into the giant pile of stone floor.
Its spiky giant wings are gathered on both sides of the body, and if unfolded, it will fill the entire basement. Sensing that someone was approaching, the dragon turned towards them with an ugly head, and made a roar that made the stones tremble. It opened a big mouth and spouted a blaze with an amazing heat wave. (To be continued.)
