Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

236. Chapter 236 Dragons in the depths of the ground

    Although Ivan has been to Gringotts many times before, but has never entered the underground vault, his gold Galleon is basically a follow-up.

    Hermione, like him, has never been to the depths of Gringotts.

    Only Harry, because his parents left him a legacy, he went to his vault to get some gold galleons as tuition before the school.

    Whether or not you have been to Gringotts underground, they have a strong interest in the Black family's vault.

    Although according to Sirius' words, there is nothing to look at, but it is full of boring gold.

    But it is enough to fill a whole room with gold, and it is enough to be shocked when you think about it.

    Today is the first day after Christmas. Like the outside muggle street, the Diagon Alley is cold and clear, and it is covered with white snow everywhere.

    On the street, except for a few of them, there are no other people, and many shops have not opened.

    Everyone was still worried, fearing that Gringotts didn't open the door.

    But when they walked to the towering snow-white attic in the central square of Diagon Alley, the thick snow on the ground was cleared, and the bright Winky's bronze gate was opened. Goblin was wearing a scarlet and gold uniform. There.

    “The Goblins are extremely dedicated. They are open all year round. During the Christmas holidays, only Gringotts will open as usual.”Lupin whispered.

    "Don't mislead the children, Remus! We all know why Goblin don't rest, not to be dedicated, but because they are greedy enough. To me, these Goblin don't care much about Christmas. ”Sirius dismissively said, “For them, gold is more important than the holiday.”

    Sirius didn't whisper, and Goblin, who stood in front of the bronze door, apparently heard this, and the eyes that looked at them were not as friendly as usual.

    He still bows to everyone, but the action is hard.

    Ivan saw that Goblin looked like his height, with a smart, dark face and a pointed beard. His hands and feet were particularly long.

    "Gentlemen, please go here!"He led them into Gringotts.

    Behind the bronze gate is the second silver gate.

    When I first came to Gringotts, Ivan just felt that the door was extremely beautiful from the senses.

    Later, by reading the relevant literature, he knew that the door was the gate of the original establishment of the ancient spirits thousands of years ago. It was made of sterling silver by Goblin, and a lot of magic was made by the greatest alchemy master at that time.

    Ancient magic may not work, but the door itself has historical value.

    There is a row of text engraved on the two doors. It is the left behind warning of the Goblin. It seems to be a curse. It is a verse to express the thief in a verse.

    Inside Gringotts, behind the long counter, Goblin sat on a high stool and received the first customers of the day, and the Goblin who led them in led them to a very old Goblin in the center.

    "Sirius Black!"Seeing Sirius, that Goblin was obviously very surprised. "It's a rare guest. What can I do for you today?"

    Perhaps it was the thought of Sirius's past dark experience in Azkaban, and the rumors of the Death Eater who said that he was killing people, and Goblin stunned.

    "I want to go to the vault, not my own vault, but the vault of the Black family."Sirius accented the words of the Black family.

    "The treasury of the Black family?!"The old Goblin rolled back and then pulled the body out of the counter. "Do you carry the key?"

    "Bring it!"Sirius found the key to a rusty Scabbers and threw it on the counter.

    Ivan noticed that the key was long and it was engraved with the emblem of the Black family.

    "Very good, no problem."Goblin frowned and continued. "We can let you in, but you know, the old treasury of your family is in a special area, and the surrounding protection measures are very strong. You better have only one person…"

    "We have to go down together, I don't care what special area!"Sirius said impatiently, "Don't waste time, there are still many things waiting for me to do."

    They stalemate for a while and finally take a step back.

    Lupin stayed on them and Sirius took Ivan, Harry, and Hermione three. Goblin agreed with this suggestion. In his opinion, Ivan is only a child, and is not qualified for defense.

    Seeing the other side so cautious, Ivan was more curious about the treasury of the Black family in a special area, guessing that there could be anything inside.

    "Griphook, you take them four to the underground vault."The old Goblin waved and said to Goblin, who just led them in.

    Griphook seems to have anticipated this for a long time, and his eyes flashed through the ill-conceived light.

    Behind the counter was a narrow side door that he ran to open the door for them.

    Ivan walked in and would have seen an architectural style similar to the tall marble hall outside, but he had a narrow stone gallery in front of him, and the burning torch illuminated it as if it were an old mine.

    The stone corridor is a steep downhill with a small railway below.

    Griphook whistled and a small cart rushed towards them along the railway.

    Harry took the lead and climbed into the car. He looked very skilled. He introduced the places that should be noticed to Ivan and Hermione who followed.

    "This car will run very fast for a while, you should hurry up."Harry reminded, "The road inside is meandering, like a maze."

    Ivan and Hermione were all prepared to hear Harry's words.

    But the stroller was running much faster than they thought, and the last Sirius was just done, and Griphook made a point.

    The stroller suddenly started, the speed is getting faster and faster, and there seems to be no limit.

    It took them a few whistling into a gap in the wall, galloping along the labyrinth of twists and turns, and rushing forward.

    Deep in the ground, black lacquered, cold air hits the surface.

    The sound of the car made Ivan unable to hear anything. He only knew that they were turning sharply between the stalactites and flying towards the depths of the earth.

    Next to Ivan, Sirius, Harry, and Hermione's hair flew backwards, and the three of them didn't look too good, looking around nervously.

    Only Goblin, who called Griphook, was particularly happy. He turned his head and looked at them with gloating.

    Griphook waves his fingers from time to time, and the speed of the stroller is faster after each shaking.

    Because of what Sirius had just said, he was retaliating against them.

    In addition to being greedy enough, Goblin is definitely the smallest creature in the world.

    If you accidentally offended a Goblin, he might remember it for a lifetime.

    Although I know that the other party is bad, I am always thinking about killing Griphook.

    Ivan insisted on sticking, and after about twenty minutes, the four of them had already rushed to a deeper place under the ground.

    They passed through an underground lake, covered with huge stalactites and stalagmites, and hanged to the ground.

    "I have not been to such a deep place before!"Harry shouted. "I just passed through the rocks and I saw that there was anything in the fire…"

    His shouts suddenly stopped, they quickly turned a sharp bend, and the stroller slowly stopped.

    "Please get off, everyone! We have to change the car, and use the deeper stroller to the Black family's vault. ”Griphook took the lead and jumped. "Please go here, we need to walk for a while."

    But no one but him, everyone looked at the front.

    In front of them, Ivan saw what Harry had just seen, a huge Dragon squatting on the ground not far away, preventing people from approaching the deeper treasury.

    Because the confinement was underground for too long, the scales on the dragon had become pale and loose. Its eyes were turbid pink, and both hind legs were wearing heavy shackles. The thick chains above were deeply penetrated into the stone. The huge pile of floor.

    Its spiked giant wings are gathered on both sides of the body, and if unfolded it will fill the entire basement. Induction of someone approaching, the dragon turned to their ugly heads and made a giant gong that shook the stone. It opened a large mouth and spewed a fire with an amazing heat wave.
