Chapter 333: Bravely Entering Gringotts

Although Dumbledore said that time waits for no one, the actual situation is obviously more serious than what he said. They need to prepare a lot of things.

Even Grindelwald went out for a long time and asked Dumbledore for a lot of Galleons.

"I'm going to save more money and go see it myself." He said to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore asked Nico for a lot of Galleons and then transferred them to Grindelwald.

But Zhang Xiao clearly saw him take the money to the "Tufan Clothing Store" and the "Psychedelic Cigar Store".

Confirming the location of the golden cup made Zhang Xiao happy. The sooner Voldemort is killed, the better. Who likes a mentally ill man with strong martial arts to hide in the dark?

The ups and downs and the exciting life full of dangers are indeed good, but the stable days also have a unique charm.

Just like in the last life, I only experienced the club bar once and felt bored. It's more comfortable to be a otaku playing games at home.

This happy mood lasted for at least a week.

But after a week of no movement, Zhang Xiao began to wonder if Dumbledore was going to leave him alone for this operation.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. There was no need to take him along. Was he just going to watch the boss operate, act as a human camera, and shout 666?

As time went by, it was already May. The weather became comfortable and refreshing, the sky was cloudless, and many flowers had begun to bloom.

The little wizards at Hogwarts just wanted to take a walk outdoors, lie down on the grass with a few pints of iced pumpkin juice, maybe play a casual game of stone throwing or watch the giant squid dreamily move forward on the lake.

But they couldn't do that. The exams were approaching, and not only could the students not laze around outdoors, but they had to stay in the castle, endure the temptation of the summer breeze blowing in from the window, and force their brains to work hard.

Even Fred and George were working hard. They were about to take the 0. W. Ls (Ordinary Wizarding Level) exam.

The pretender Percy was preparing to pass the N. E. W. TS (Final Wizarding Test), this is the highest degree that Hogwarts can offer.

Everyone knows that Percy has already got the opportunity. Only if he can pass the Final Wizarding Test, he can enter the Ministry of Magic.

"He (Percy) is crazy! That's the common room! Not his study room-Dean was just playing crackle and he jumped up to deduct points from Gryffindor!"

Ron complained about his brother, as if he was ashamed to be with him. Even Hermione, who has always had a good relationship with Percy, did not defend Percy.

But Harry was a little absent-minded, with a faint smile on his face. Zhang Xiao noticed that he had put hairspray on his hair again.

What can dilute an emotion is often another strong emotion, such as. Falling in love?

After all, the Slytherin girl captured Harry's heart with her enthusiasm, determination, perseverance, and beautiful face.

Oh-poor Ginny, she was obviously very beautiful but Harry seemed to be unable to see her.

Malfoy thought Percy was just an idiot, and Malfoy never commented on idiots, so he started a new topic:

"Quidditch World Cup this summer, shall we go together?"

He paused, and said confidently: "I should be able to get my dad to get some reserved tickets, such as the top box."

This topic quickly aroused the interest of the little wizards, especially Harry, who hadn't even been told about the Quidditch World Cup.

"Really?" For the first time, he felt that Malfoy's boasting was not so uncomfortable for him, Quidditch World Cup!

It would be great if we could watch the game in the best box!

Ron was stunned for a while, and then he became excited: "Yeah, how could I forget it, let's go together, my dad can always get it from the department, okay, it would be nice to have a ticket to the top box."

Malfoy's mouth corners were almost raised, and he nodded reservedly:

"Then it's settled."

Quidditch World Cup? Zhang Xiao remembered this event, which could be regarded as a major turning point for the entire HP, and immediately felt resentful.

The stupid director in the previous life filmed the unimportant things when filming the fourth part. The Quidditch World Cup, which was obviously one of the highlights, was deleted.

There were also the appearance and the Triwizard Tournament. The two good schools were filmed as Beauxbatons Art School and Durmstrang Sports School.

After watching the movie, I got up in the middle of the night and slapped my thigh and shouted: Is this director stupid?

They chatted and exchanged homework. Ron was holding the homework sheet with a sad face. After Hermione's homework of "English to English" was exposed by Professor McGonagall, it became the focus of attention.

Harry looked at him with sympathy, and couldn't help but feel a little fortunate, because the homework was written during the training on the Quidditch field. Fred and George, Angelina, and Wood all gave a lot of opinions.

In short, he hadn't had time to 'translate' Hermione's homework.

Just then, Zhang Xiao found that beautiful cursive words suddenly appeared on his parchment, which looked very familiar:

"Get ready and meet at Nico's cabin tomorrow at noon."

Zhang Xiao suddenly felt relieved. Fortunately, Dumbledore didn't plan to play without him!

The words flashed for a while and then slowly disappeared. Zhang Xiao calmed down and picked up the pen to start his homework.

The next day, when Zhang Xiao went to find Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall to ask for leave, he discovered that Dumbledore had already arranged all this.

Not only that, Professor McGonagall also led him to the fireplace in the principal's office. Along with the flames of Floo powder, Zhang Xiao's figure disappeared.

"Well, he is obviously still a child, Dumbledore. Why are you so anxious?"

"Ahem -" I accidentally opened my mouth while rotating and teleporting, and my throat felt like it was on fire.

He snapped his fingers and used the cleaning tool to clean himself up.

But the dust in the throat cannot be solved by cleaning it.

"Floo vertigo?"

A cunning and dry voice sounded. Zhang Xiao stopped coughing and raised his head to see a short, rather old-looking goblin sitting at the table with two short legs dangling in the air.

A golden Galleon rotated flexibly between his fingers.

Beside the goblin, Dumbledore was holding a cup of tea and looking at him with a smile. Newt was not seen next to the table, but an old-looking suitcase was opened and placed in the center of the table.

"Mr. Grindelwald?"

Zhang Xiao asked tentatively.

"Did you see it?" The goblin suddenly bounced Galleon up high, and then caught it with his fingertips like a juggler.

"But Polyjuice Potion can't transform into something other than a human. Is this a transfiguration spell?"

Zhang Xiao looked at Grindelwald in astonishment and almost came out, transfiguration?

Of course, Transfiguration can transform people and take on the appearance of living creatures, but since there is such a convenient magic as Transfiguration, why do we need a magic potion like Polyjuice Potion?

Isn’t it just because it’s difficult?

Compared with animals, it is extremely difficult to transform humans, let alone transform into other humanoid races to communicate with others.

This requires allocating some energy at any time to maintain the deformation, and also requires maintaining normal communication skills.

All in all, this hand deformation technique is truly shocking.

Zhang Xiao suddenly remembered that Grindelwald once played a high-ranking official of the Magical Congress of the United States of America, who relied on transfiguration. It turned out that he had a criminal record.

"Okay, since Zhang has arrived, we don't have to wait, let's get ready to start!"

Dumbledore spread his hands, took out several earring-like objects, and said concisely:

"Put it on your ear."

Zhang Xiao curiously took one, pinned it on his right ear after thinking about it, and asked by the way: "Where is Mr. Scamander?"

"I'm here--"

Newt's slightly dull voice came out of the suitcase. First, a hand came out of the suitcase, and then the gray-haired Newt complained:

"Dumbledore, this is not an easy job. They are so noisy."

"But you are the best expert on magical animals." Dumbledore smiled cheerfully, and he gave the other earrings to others.

He put on a small pendant that looked like a small silver wine bottle. He happily summoned a mirror to look at it and made a joke:

"I think it suits me quite well."

Zhang Xiao was quite speechless. Dumbledore's hair was so long that it completely covered his ears, so he couldn't see him at all.

"Test—can you all hear it?"

As if someone was speaking softly in his ear, Nico Flamel's thin voice came, and Zhang Xiao immediately realized that it was Nico's gadget.

"No problem, it's clear, Nick—"

Dumbledore put on a brand new pair of half-moon glasses.

"Well, my side is also very clear. This is the only two-way mirror I have left. Albus."

"If the old things don't leave, the new things won't come. Nico, this is what I learned when I was studying Chinese, and I deeply believe it."

Awesome, Dumbledore can use common idioms!

Zhang Xiao acted as a perfect human camera and decided to write down this story in the future. Several of the world's top wizards went to the heavily guarded Goblin Bank to steal the gold cup from the deepest vault - a piece of equipment to defeat the devil. key props.

A proper blockbuster style, okay, this introduction alone must be worth hundreds of millions at the box office, or US dollars.

Dumbledore stood up and gently tapped Zhang Xiao's head with his wand. A cold feeling suddenly spread from the top of his head at an extremely fast speed.

This feeling is quite familiar, like the Illusion Curse, but the feeling of the Illusion Curse is far less intense.

"The Invisibility Charm - you will know it when you are very proficient in using the Disguise Charm." Dumbledore gave a simple introduction.

Well, this should be what Snape complained about, the spell the principal often used when hiding behind the bushes in the garden to observe others, right?

Zhang Xiao glanced around. After just a short while, the whole room was empty, but in fact they were all here.

"Let's go, don't lose track, use your earrings to confirm your position at any time."

The door suddenly opened, and Grindelwald's voice suddenly sounded at the door and in the earring:

"Why - do you have to start becoming invisible here? Can't you wait until Gringotts to become invisible again?"

"Maybe this is more private?" Dumbledore's voice sounded behind Grindelwald.

Grindelwald whispered something in German and walked out of the cabin first.

Nico's voice came from the earring:

"Guys - then... let's get started!"

Gringotts

At the bottom of the marble steps of the bronze gate, four invisible people stood at the gate, looking at the goblins in uniforms on both sides of the bronze gate, and the thin golden rods they held in their hands.

"The honesty detector - very primitive - but very effective! It can detect hidden spells and magical objects, but this thing has been out for a long time, Albus, if you are more than one meter away from it, this thing will be ineffective."

Dumbledore made a "hmm" sound, and then Zhang Xiao saw the ground under the feet of the two goblins suddenly bulged up quickly and then quickly shrank back.

The goblins were caught off guard and could only lose their balance in panic, waving their hands randomly and falling to the ground on both sides.

"Okay, let's go."

Zhang Xiao pursed his lips, master! This is a master!

What Confusion Curse and Imperius Curse are all garbage. As the saying goes, a goose leaves a sound when it passes, and a person leaves a trace when he passes. As long as magic is used to directly control the goblin, there will always be traces.

The Confusion Curse will also fail at a moment, and Dumbledore's way of dealing with it is so clever to the extreme, so great!

Zhang Xiao sighed, and used a pious learning attitude to learn the operations of the big guys. He suddenly figured out the meaning of Dumbledore bringing him here.

That is to watch carefully and learn well! This is a rare opportunity!

The first gate passed almost without any stagnation. When they arrived at a relatively remote hall, Grindelwald's voice sounded:

"Okay, listen to my command, kid, you can let those-those annoying little pets of yours out."

"Correction." Newt said slowly, accompanied by the sound of the lock bouncing: "They are not annoying, nor are they pets, but my friends."

As the only bank in the entire wizarding world, Gringotts' business is always very busy.

Goblins and wizards go in and out of the densely packed arches.

The goblin tellers in the hall weighed the various treasures that wizards used to exchange for Galleons, and operated the quill pen to carefully record the prices in the account book.

Days are always like this. Bogrod sat in the main seat, looking at the lively scene, and felt a sense of peace in his heart.

The disputes in the wizarding world have nothing to do with goblins. As long as the days of making money continue, even if the Dark Lord comes to power immediately, it has nothing to do with goblins.

Bogrod sighed with satisfaction. He lowered his head and wanted to appreciate the extremely exquisite golden scarab with Pharaoh gem just sent back from Egypt.

Wait a minute, where is my treasure?

Where is the golden scarab that was just placed here, as big as a goblin's palm, with four sides and six edges, and carbon fire ruby ​​inlaid with gold and black gemstones as eyes?
