Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1250: Old Fairy Country
The vault with the number less than 100 will not be opened?
Although the chief goblin has stated that this is for safety, if it is so, why didn't Gringotts simply suspend all services? Even if it is not disguised as a ruin like the Dark Ling Pavilion, for the moment, suspending business seems to be a reasonable choice.
However, Gringotts not only didn't do that, but instead only restricted the vaults within a hundred... Isn't this a bit of an overwhelming taste?
Remember that the smaller the number of Gringotts vault number, it means that the larger the vault is, the more important it is. The vaults with a number below 100 are usually owned by wizard families that have accumulated large sums of wealth. These families usually store a lot of valuable but not practical collections here, and generally don't use them much.
Obviously, if it wasn't for Maca to be in need today, then Mr. Parkinson would not be able to open the family vault. And this also means that no one notices this matter at all.
Presumably, it is precisely because of this consideration that the goblins of Gringotts have used the appearance of normal service to cover up, instead of choosing to seal the entire underground vault. Because in that case, it will be implemented after the fact.
Of course, the premise is that Gringotts is really planning something secretly.
"Doesn't it open within 100?" Maca thought for a while, and quickly said, "Forget it, go to my vault! No. 213——"
As he said, he took out his vault key from his waist and put it on the counter casually.
Originally, when I first came to Gringotts to rent a vault, because Maca didn’t have a lot of money at that time, I only used the smallest model numbered above 1000. It wasn't until the money he earned later that he was able to earn more money before he replaced it with a medium-sized vault located deeper underground.
Now Maca feels a little lucky. Since the vaults further down are occupied by people, he can only change the vault with a number of 200 or more when he replaces the vault at that time. If he had been changed to within a hundred at that time, it is estimated that he would have to sneak in with Mr. Parkinson today.
"Oh...No. 213, um...OK."
The chief goblin picked up the key and took a look. After a short pause, he nodded.
"Pull the ring, take Mr. McLean and Mr. Parkinson to No. 213... You know, take the track of Burglar Falls!"
"Yes, sir."
On the seat not far from the side, one of his assistants jumped off the high stool, walked around the counter and gestured towards Maca.
"You guys, please go over here."
Maca shrugged, put away the staff in his hand, and walked to the side of the passage with the chief assistant named "Grahuan". Upon seeing Parkinson behind him, although he looked a little confused, he quickly put his key and hurried to catch up.
The two followed the pull ring from the side entrance corridor to the back of the hall, and they passed through three safe passages guarded by fairy guards, and they reached a place that looked like a Muggle subway station.
There are a lot of minecart rails lined up quite densely here, and under the intertwined rails is a huge pothole with no bottom.
Just standing on the edge and looking down, it's as if there is a straight to **** below. People with acrophobia certainly don't like this kind of place.
It’s worth mentioning that the underground vault of Gringotts is definitely much deeper than the dark pavilion-the deepest part of the two may actually be the same, but the dark pavilion itself is underground after all, this is undoubtedly caused by Differences determined by their respective locations.
"Please here, please."
Rahuan pointed to the second rail in his right hand, and stepped forward and kicked his leg on the rail. Then, a minecart suddenly fell off their heads and landed exactly on the rails.
After that, he turned over and crawled in first.
"Let's go, Mr. Parkinson."
Maca rolled his head and motioned for the other party to follow, and then he also boarded a slightly narrow minecart. After Parkinson came up, the pull ring immediately pushed the middle lever forward, and the minecart slid forward along the track with three people.
As the minecar shook all the way, sometimes swirling and sometimes diving, the pull ring also constantly moved the lever left and right to switch the road, making the minecar sway very badly.
In some places, even a section of rail is missing, relying on the inertia of minecarts to leap over.
Seriously, if any Muggle playground dared to build such a roller coaster, it would definitely lose money.
During this time, they also passed a huge waterfall. The rushing water curtain looked very real, but when the minecart passed through the middle, it didn't touch any splashes.
This is the anti-thief waterfall in the Gringotts underground vault. It is said that all vicious curses with continuous effects will be washed away when passed, and even in the past, there were wizards who suffered strong curses to get rid of the curses for free. Interesting story.
When Maca passed there, he had to secretly cast magic to block it, lest some of the immortal magic that he had left on the run was washed away.
Not long after, just as he tilted his neck slightly to look deeper into the huge crater, the pull ring suddenly pulled the metal rod back. Immediately afterwards, with a spark and a harsh "crunch" sound, the minecart stopped suddenly.
"The Vault 213 is here, please get off the bus for the two of you."
Seeing that Griphook was about to jump on the rock platform next to him, Parkinson also subconsciously moved, but Maca who was sitting next to him gave him a slight tug.
"Mr. Parkinson, do you remember the specific location of your family treasury?"
"Huh?"
When the other party heard the words, he was immediately taken aback.
"Oh...no, actually I rarely come to Gringotts, and you see, these tracks are messy, and most people really can't remember."
"Then there is no way."
Maca nodded, and suddenly looked at the goblin pull ring that had been transferred to the rock platform, and his eyes flashed with the power of the rules of the soul.
"My No. 213 does not need to be opened, so let us go to the No. 83 vault!"
"Oh, this is not good, we can only...can only..."
Grahuan said dazedly, his expression becoming more and more hesitant, as if he had encountered a problem that caused him a psychological contradiction. But at the end, he nodded slowly,
"...well, 83...but we may meet President Algot below, the president...he won't let you in."
"Really?" Maca nodded slightly, "What is he doing there? Are you planning to take the biggest treasury for yourself?"
"'Take it for yourself'? No, no..." Griphook said in a daze, "We are just cleaning up some large vaults that no one inherits... They are no longer claimed, they are abandoned properties. , Whoever finds it will belong to him."
When Maca heard the words, he couldn't help shook his head, and then said to Parkinson beside him: "It seems that at least your family's vault should be fine."
After that, he turned to Griphook again and asked:
"There is one more question-why did you choose this time to clean up the treasury? Is it possible... you want to run away?"
As soon as the voice was heard, Griphook immediately replied:
"It depends on the situation to run or not... We just received a notice from the Dark Ling Pavilion family. We, the Dark Ling Pavilion and the Dark Ling Pavilion, unanimously decided not to participate in the fight outside... So, if it is diagonally opposite If the alley is still there, we won’t run; and if we can’t guard even Diagon Alley, we will immediately retreat to the ruins of the old underground country."
"Old Underground Country?"
When Maca heard it, she raised her eyebrows, and her heart moved slightly.
Yes, he also knows that fairies once had their own kingdoms, but the kingdoms of fairies recorded in history are on the same ground as humans. They just naturally like to hollow out caves to live in.
But later, no matter how tenacious the fairies, their land has been compressed and eaten by wizards. In particular, several wizarding wars have entangled a country of fairies, and eventually led to their complete annihilation of the country.
And this ~IndoMTL.com~ is actually just a matter of hundreds of years ago.
According to the situation mentioned by Grip Huan, the fairy kingdom may not have been completely destroyed at the beginning, but chose to go deep underground to save power in order to avoid war.
It's no wonder that after the war subsided a bit, many goblins popped up from the horns and got into the wizarding society in one fell swoop, taking advantage of the chaos after the war.
However, Maca has no interest in the survival of the Fairy Kingdom. What he cares most now is actually how big is the so-called "underground old country ruins" in the mouth of Grip Huan?
According to the current situation, that might be the last escape route for them to fight Helbo!
"Well, in short," Maca shook his head, "Pull the ring, take us to the 83rd vault, you don't have to worry about the others."
It's obviously too early to consider those things. Although precautions are necessary, there are obviously more and more urgent things to do.
Soon, Maca put Griphook on the minecart again, and continued to drive deeper into the underground vault.
