Chapter 230 Harry: Did You Really Hear Nothing? (Two in One)
"How is it? How is it? Did you find out the whereabouts of the Horcrux?" When Gemini, who was waiting in the distance, saw Taurus and Pisces walking towards him, he immediately came up impatiently, hoping to get the result from them.
"We found it out, let's go." Having completed the task, Taurus was in a good mood and prepared to take his companions to Gringotts in London to take out Voldemort's Horcrux hidden in Bellatrix's vault.
"So where did she hide the Horcrux?"
Taurus, Pisces, Aries: ...
Gemini, realizing that he had asked a very stupid question, consciously closed his mouth and walked behind Taurus silently.
After carefully observing Gemini for a moment and confirming that he did not want to kill himself, Taurus announced his departure.
The boat left Azkaban. Except for the Dementors on the island, no one knew that they had been here.
Soon, the four monks of the Secret Order arrived at Diagon Alley in London.
Diagon Alley, which was extremely lively during the day, was now empty, with only some Christmas decorations floating in the cold wind.
The four Tauruses had a clear goal and headed straight for Gringotts, located in the core area of Diagon Alley.
Compared to the daytime, Gringotts's defenses were much more relaxed at night. The four rushed up the empty white stone steps and came to the closed bronze door.
Aries took the lead and pulled out her wand to press against the door. After a few seconds, she shook her head, but from her expression, she was not surprised: it would be strange if the door here was not cast with an anti-unlocking spell.
But it was not a big problem, anyway, they just had to achieve the result of "passing through here".
She drew a circle on the door with her wand, and the next second, a hole appeared on the door that was large enough for a person to step through. Through the hole, you can see the silver door behind the bronze door.
"Bronze door, silver door, is there another golden door behind it?" Gemini muttered, causing the three companions to laugh.
"Impossible, goblins are not that extravagant." Aries took a look at the size of the gate, and then quickly calculated its approximate volume. If it was made of pure gold, it would probably take hundreds of tons of gold.
As the four of them talked, they passed through the first gate, and then passed through the second gate in the same way.
"The goblins did not use pure silver to make the door." When passing through the silver gate, Gemini noticed a detail: the material used in the middle of this door was bronze, the same as the first door, and only the outer few inches were silver.
"It fits my stereotype of goblins." Pisces, who has always been taciturn, couldn't help but complain: "Do you know that gold galleons are not made of pure gold, but mixed with other metals."
"The value of one gram of gold made into a gold coin is higher than one gram of gold. This is the secret of making money by minting coins."
While complaining about the greed of goblins, several people invaded Gringotts.
As a bank, Gringotts also has people on duty at night. Aries, who was walking in the front, was discovered by the goblin security guards who stayed here as soon as he entered the bank hall.
"Who is it——" He stood up from his seat suddenly and knocked over the coffee pot at hand.
But before his hand touched the alarm button under the table, his head exploded like a smashed watermelon.
"The famous Gringotts has such poor security. It's outrageous that they chose to use the alarm to trigger the alarm." Aries frowned, "I thought the alarm should have been triggered when we destroyed the door."
"They have been lax for too long."
"Someone successfully invaded Gringotts last year."
"This is a good thing for us." Taurus avoided the blood on the ground, walked to the center of the hall, and then faced the countless doors in the hall and started to worry: Which door leads to the Lestrange vault?
He hesitated for two seconds and gave up thinking, and randomly chose a door closest to them and pushed it. When his hand touched the door panel, the alarm sounded.
"It should be that only fairies can touch the door here." Taurus smiled as if he had solved a math problem.
A few seconds later, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the hall. Several doors were pushed open, but the monks of the secret order were well prepared and fired spells at any door that made a noise.
"Remember to leave a few alive!"
Seeing his companions' ruthless and deadly moves, Taurus could not sit still. He hurriedly told the other three not to forget the purpose of this trip. At the same time, he personally selected an old fairy with gray hair who had just rushed out from behind the door.
He met the fairy's eyes, and the fairy's eyes became dazed. Then he picked up the long sword in his hand and chopped off the head of a younger fairy who was following him.
Taurus smiled with satisfaction, pointed at the counter, and signaled the old fairy to hide first.
The older fairy obediently held the blood-stained long sword and shrank under the counter.
They had planned it without realizing it, and the four of them were all elites in the secret order, so the goblins on duty who were alarmed were quickly wiped out by them, and the marble floor of the entire hall was stained red with the goblins' blood.
Several trembling goblins were driven to the counter.
With a gentle smile on his face, Taurus told the goblins that he wanted to go to the Lestrange family's underground vault.
The goblins shrank back and trembled even more, but no one spoke up.
Taurus's patience was gradually exhausted. He picked up a long sword from the ground, then picked up the goblin on the far left and asked him if he could take him to the Lestrange vault.
The goblin closed his eyes.
Taurus chopped off his head with his backhand, threw it aside, and then picked up the second goblin.
"Take me to the Lestrange family's underground vault."
This time the captured goblin surrendered, but he said he did not have the authority to open the vault.
"What about him?" Taurus pulled out the older goblin who had been hiding before.
"Yes."
"Very good." Taurus finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Four monks of the secret order took two goblins, one large and one small, into the underground vault. The remaining captives were dealt with by Aries.
The young goblin looked pale as he watched the wizards around him kill so quickly. He first summoned a cart with a whistle, and then carefully said that the space on the cart might not be enough for four wizards and two goblins.
"We need him to open the vault..." As soon as he said this, the young goblin was afraid that the wizards would think he was useless, so he quickly added: "I have to control the cart!"
Taurus understood the goblin's little thoughts, and as usual, he asked Gemini and Aries to stay behind, and he and Pisces went deep into the vault.
Before getting Voldemort's Horcrux, he would not do anything to the goblin who led the way, because he could not guarantee that the older goblin would cooperate with him. It would be bad if he killed the guide in front of him and refused to cooperate after releasing the control of the old goblin.
Under the control of the young fairy, the cart started and the speed was getting faster and faster. Amid the huge roar, they rushed along the maze-like winding corridor. The path was so complicated that it was impossible for the human brain to remember it.
The two people and two fairies went down all the way. The long way gave Taurus the illusion that they were heading towards the center of the earth.
Suddenly, after turning a corner, a waterfall appeared on the track ahead.
"Anti-thief waterfall!" The fairy who led the way only had time to shout its name before the cart rushed into the waterfall.
The cold water fell from the sky, soaking Taurus and the passengers in the car. The water poured into Taurus' eyes and mouth, making him unable to open his eyes and obstructing his breathing.
What's worse, under the influence of the anti-thief waterfall, the cart slipped and overturned, and Taurus, Pisces and the two fairies were thrown out of the car.
The high-speed cart went off the track and broke into pieces on the wall of the corridor. Taurus closed his eyes and cast a shock-absorbing spell on everyone by feeling. Then they fell to the stone ground like a feather, and no one was injured.
The young goblin quickly got up from the ground and introduced the anti-thief waterfall to Taurus as if to atone for his sins.
"That waterfall will wash away all the spells and magical disguises. When the alarm sounded just now, someone activated the defense device."
"Oh?" Hearing that the spell would be washed away, Taurus immediately looked at the old goblin who was controlled by him. Sure enough, at this time, the old goblin was standing up shakily, with confusion in his eyes.
Taurus immediately added a control magic to control him again. After doing this, he also used the spell to dry everyone's wet clothes.
Then his eyes fell on the young goblin.
The cart had turned into pieces, and I don't know where it fell. I'm afraid I have to walk on foot for the rest of the journey. I wonder if the goblin in front of me knows the way?
The news that Gringotts was broken into has probably been passed on. Reinforcements from the bank will arrive at any time, and I must make a quick decision.
"It's okay. We are close to the underground. We can walk there. We are not far from the end here." The young goblin took the initiative to lead the way and led the two to go deeper.
When turning a corner, the goblin's face changed suddenly: outside the deepest vaults of Gringotts, there was a huge fire dragon tied to the ground. The dragon's eyes were cloudy pink, and the scales on its body had become pale and loose. Its condition was visibly poor. Obviously, the goblins of Gringotts would not take good care of the fire dragon like Hagrid.
But despite this state, the dragon still made the goblins and humans standing in front of it feel suffocated: if its spiked wings were spread, they would fill the entire basement; if it roared, the entire cave would tremble; if it chose to spit fire, any creature in the passage would turn into charcoal.
"It's over, it's over, we didn't bring the jingle piece..." The young goblin's face turned pale, and he didn't know whether he was afraid of being kissed by the dragon or afraid of being punished by the wizards for his negligence.
Although he didn't know what the jingle piece was, Taurus could probably guess that it was a prop to make the dragon obedient.
"Leave it to me. I'm an expert in regulating emotions." He pushed the frightened goblin behind him, and then took out a crystal ball filled with emotions. As he spoke, a wisp of smoke floated towards the dragon's nostrils, but this time Taurus chose the emotion of "calmness" and "peace".
He didn't dare to let a half-crazy dragon be "happy" in a confined space. God knows what would happen.
After inhaling the emotions prepared by Taurus, the dragon gradually calmed down. It lay on the ground and fell asleep, only occasionally spraying a string of smoke with sparks from its nostrils.
"Let's go." At Taurus's command, they rushed to the vault of the Lestrange family. After putting the old goblin's hand on the door of the vault, the wooden door that looked quite vicissitudes disappeared, revealing a hole. The cave was filled from the ground to the ceiling with gold coins and gold and silver wine vessels, precious metal armor inlaid with gems, fur and bones of various exotic animals, and potions sealed in jars.
"As expected of Lestrange!" Taurus and Pisces exclaimed in unison.
"Many treasures have been added with fire spells and replication spells. Anything you touch will replicate itself and become hot, and the replicas also have fire spells and replication spells." The young goblin reminded the two.
Taurus glanced at him and grinned: "Thank you!"
He and Aries began to look for Voldemort's Horcrux according to the description Bella left them. Finally, Taurus found a golden cup that met the description on the top of the shelf close to the ceiling.
Taurus directly let Pisces climb onto his back, and then used the long sword in the old goblin's hand to pick up the cup.
"So how do we go back? Go up along the track? This damn place must have been cast with an anti-Apparition spell." After getting the golden cup, Pisces had a question: how do they go back.
"It's simple, isn't it?" Taurus's eyes fell on the fire dragon not far away.
After dealing with the two goblins around him, Taurus cut off the chains on the dragon's hind legs and awakened the sleeping dragon.
Amid the dragon's roar, the two rode on the dragon's back and flew towards the ground - even the dragon's roar could not cover Taurus's triumphant laughter.
They succeeded, and the Dark Lord's comeback is a foregone conclusion!
Hogwarts, Dumbledore, we will visit! Taurus clenched the golden cup in his hand and swore secretly.
…
When the people of the Secret Order drove the dragon to make trouble in Gringotts, the Christmas dinner at Greengrass Manor also reached its climax. One piece of music after another was played, and dozens of long tables were filled with a dazzling array of food.
Guests can freely choose to dance on the dance floor, or feast at the table. Many guests are not interested in food and dance music, but take this opportunity to find their favorite objects and chat.
Rice is a foodie. He picked a few of his favorites from the dazzling array of delicacies, then hid in the corner of the banquet hall and concentrated on enjoying the food.
He noticed that Minister of Magic Fudge was talking happily with Mr. Henry at the moment, and Lucius Malfoy was standing next to them with a glass of champagne, looking as if he was trying to find a topic to join the conversation.
Daphne and Astoria were surrounded by several gorgeously dressed witches, including Narcissa Malfoy. It can be seen that the smile on Daphne's face has become a little stiff.
"I should have covered my scars." A slightly tired voice sounded in Rice's ears. He turned his head and saw Harry sitting next to him with a plate of roast beef.
"The boy who survived a disaster." Rice teased Harry in a joking tone.
Harry smiled bitterly, shook his head helplessly, and enjoyed the food provided by the Greengrass family with Rice.
When both of them were "getting into the groove", Harry suddenly asked Les: "Les, did you really not hear anything that night?"
