A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

Chapter 644 Gringotts’ tight defense and Griphook with malicious intentions

With a wave of Ollivander's wand, Aaron split the Thief-proof Falls down the middle, creating a water gate large enough for a cart to pass through.

Then he snapped his fingers and unlocked the cart.

"Okay, keep going."

Griphook looked at Aaron deeply and restarted the cart.

The clicking sound sounded again in the dark tunnel, but the speed was much slower than before.

After a few minutes, the cart came to a stop at the end of the tunnel.

Roar!

A low dragon roar came from around the corner.

"That doesn't sound good." Ron swallowed and looked at Aaron worriedly, "Can you handle it?"

"Shh!" Aaron made a silencing gesture, "It is angry and angry about what happened to it, but it is also desperate and desperate for its own fate.

It could be heard that Gringotts might not have taken good care of this dragon. "

"We need it to guard the treasury, and it is inevitable that some methods will be used in the process of taming it." Baldrog explained, "We blinded the eyes of the Ukrainian Iron Belly, put heavy shackles on it, and trained it to jingle. The film forms a conditioned reflex, and it will retreat in fear when it hears the sound of the clinking film.”

Having said this, a trace of panic appeared on Bogrod's face, "I'm sorry, my master, I didn't bring the jingle piece down.

If you allow me, I'll go back and get it. "

"No, you wait for me here, and then come in after you take care of the dragon." Aaron said, then strode around the corner.

"Roar!"

The Ukrainian Iron Belly noticed someone coming, opened its mouth and roared, spitting out flames.

"I don't really like this way of greeting you." Aaron raised his eyebrows slightly, and a red flame oozed from the corner of his mouth, "The roar of the fire dragon."

boom!

The two flames collided together, and after a moment of stalemate, Aaron's flames suppressed the Ukrainian Iron Belly into the corner.

"Let's talk!" Aaron said in dragon language.

Ukrainian Iron Belly heard the same kind of language, and his huge body was slightly stunned. "Human, but you can speak the language of dragons. Are you a dragon speaker?"

"It depends on the specific situation." Aaron said meaningfully, "If you cooperate well, I can be the Dragon Whisperer, and if you are obedient, I can be the Dragon Controller, but if you are stubborn, I can also be the Dragon Slayer. By."

"What do you want to talk about?" Ukrainian Iron Belly asked very seriously. It was well aware of its own condition. It was blind and its limbs were bound by iron chains. It would definitely suffer in a fight.

"Let us go." Aaron got straight to the point, "There is something I want in the vault you are guarding."

"It can't be done." Ukrainian Iron Belly shook the faucet and growled hoarsely, "If I let you in, those damn goblins won't let me go.

Look at the scars on my face and neck. They were all slashed with weapons containing magical flames. "

"Then I don't mind being a dragon slayer again. You will be the second dragon to die in my hands."

"I advise you not to take action." Ukrainian Iron Belly was confident, "I may not be able to beat you, but if there is too much movement, the alarm will be triggered."

"Tsk!" Aaron smacked his lips, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Then let's make a deal."

"You let us in, and I'll heal your eyes and loosen your chains.

As for whether you can leave here in the future, it depends on your own ability. "

"Are you serious?" Ukrainian Iron Belly suddenly became excited. It's not that it didn't try to escape, but it couldn't fly very high in this underground maze without being blinded. Catch it back.

"I always mean what I say, I can show you my sincerity first."

After saying that, Aaron shot a ball of blue-purple energy into the eyes of Ukrainian Iron Belly.

Under the influence of the healing power, the turbid pink color in its pupils gradually faded, allowing it to see the surrounding scene clearly.

"You believe it now?"

Ukrainian Iron Belly roared excitedly, "As expected of the Dragon Whisperer, I agree to this deal, you can go in."

"Don't worry, I didn't make it clear just now." Aaron said calmly, "I will release your chains only after we come out safely.

But for a month, you still have to stay here. "

"Why?" Ukrainian Iron Belly said dissatisfiedly. It finally regained light and freedom. It didn't want to stay in this dark place for a moment.

"Because if you escape, everyone will know that there is something wrong with the vault, and this is not in my interest."

Ukrainian Iron Belly also calmed down after hearing this. The IQ of dragons sometimes exceeds that of humans. After thinking about it for a while, it understood why Aaron made such a request.

"A month is too long. I can stay here for three days at most."

"You are not qualified to bargain with me." Aaron's tone changed. "You either agree or die. It's easy to choose between the two paths."

"Aren't you worried about setting off the alarm?"

"I am fully confident that I will kill you before the alarm is triggered. What I am worried about is that Gringotts will still discover that the vault has been stolen if you die, and it is still not in my interests."

Hearing this, Ukrainian Iron Belly's heart skipped a beat.

It didn't know if Aaron was lying to it, but it couldn't afford to gamble.

“Okay, just one month.

But if someone comes to check the vault during this period, I will have to escape early. "

"No problem." Aaron chuckled, and then wrote a few weird red characters in mid-air, "A contract unique to dragons, you know how to make it."

Ukrainian Iron Belly looked at the contract carefully, and a trace of surprise flashed in the dragon's eyes, "Among your team... it's interesting. The dragon whisperers of this era are really cunning."

"This is called caution. In fact, you should be glad that I have such ability."

Ukrainian Iron Belly nodded unequivocally. If Aaron didn't sign this contract, he would worry about it escaping early, but it would also worry that Aaron would not loosen the chains that bound it.

As the white dragon claws touched the characters, the blood-red words slowly dissipated, indicating that the contract was officially reached.

"Okay, you can come in."

Harry and others who were waiting anxiously outside heard Aaron's voice and immediately turned the corner.

Ukrainian Iron Belly lay quietly in the corner, glanced at a few people briefly, then closed his eyes and took a nap.

"That's great." Harry praised, "How did you do that?"

"Personal charm, I managed to convince him."

"Just put Bogrod's hand on the door of the vault to open the vault," Griphook said.

Aaron looked at Bogrod, "Go!"

"As you command, my master."

Bogrod pressed his palm on the door, and the heavy door opened automatically.

Several people walked into the vault together. As soon as they entered, the door closed automatically and it became dark inside.

"It's okay, Bogrod can take us out." Griphook comforted.

"Fluorescence." Aaron lit the wand, then waved it lightly. The light on the wand flew to the ceiling, expanded dozens of times, and turned into a giant light source that could illuminate the entire vault.

Only then did everyone see the scene in the vault clearly. They saw a huge amount of gold coins and gold and silver utensils piled from the floor to the ceiling. In addition to gold and silver, there were also various armors, wings, bones, and furs of rare magical animals. The potion in the vase, the skull with the crown...

"Rich, pure-blood families are really rich." Aaron said with emotion.

"Not every pure-blood family is rich." Ron said resentfully. The Weasley family's treasury was so empty that even rats could escape.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and look for it quickly!" Harry urged.

"Wait." Aaron stopped him hurriedly, "Don't touch anything here. Even if you find the gold cup, don't act rashly. The Dark Lord will not take any precautions."

"The Fire Curse and the Copying Curse." Bogrorod said, "This is Gringotts' main means of protecting the wealth of the ancient wizard family. Anything it touches without permission will burn and copy it.

Once this mechanism is triggered, Gringotts' alarm will sound, and if the people in the vault do not leave in time, they will be overwhelmed by a large number of worthless replicas, and then scalded to death by the Fire Curse. "

Ron, who was about to reach out and touch a cup, stopped angrily and said, "Fortunately, I didn't touch it."

"The cup is small and made of gold." Harry dug into the memory in his mind. "There are two handles on the left and right sides, and there is a badger engraved on it."

"Thank you for this information, Harry.

But to be honest, it is still difficult to find that one among hundreds or thousands of gold cups. Ron said with a forced smile.

"Harry, it's time to show your value." Aaron said meaningfully, "As a prophecy, you have to trust your intuition."

Harry nodded, looking slowly from left to right.

Suddenly his heart skipped a beat and he stared at the highest ceiling. A golden cup shone under the fluorescent light, and there was a badger standing on the surface.

"That's it, the golden cup is there." Harry said excitedly.

"The golden cup is coming!" Ron pointed his wand at the golden cup and shouted, but it had no effect at all. "Okay! The flying spell is useless.

But if you want to go up there, you have to touch the gold. It is estimated that we will be overwhelmed by countless copies before we get the gold cup, and we are not sure whether the gold cup has also been cast with a copy spell. "

"Sword, you can try it with a sword." Harry suddenly thought of something, took out Gryffindor's sword from his bag, and carefully touched a silver vessel in the vault with it. As expected, there was no replication or split. .

"The golden cup can be removed by passing the sword through the handle, but we have to find a way to get up first."

"How to get up there?" Ron asked, "We didn't bring any flying props."

"It's me!" Aaron took Gryffindor's sword from Harry. "The most correct thing you did in this mission was to find me."

"How are you going to get up there?"

"Fly up!" Aaron said matter-of-factly, and then under everyone's surprised eyes, his feet lifted off the ground and flew straight to the ceiling.

"Waltfa..." Ron blinked blankly, "Professor Huo Qi never taught us this kind of flying method."

"Don't be envious." Harry shook his head with a wry smile, "Many of his magic items are not available in the Hogwarts library."

Uh-huh!

The sword pierced the handle of Hufflepuff's golden cup and picked it up on the blade.

At the same time, several magic arrays of different colors emerged around the golden cup, sealing the magic on it.

"Done." Aaron landed firmly on the ground, threw Hufflepuff's golden cup into the space magic circle, and then returned Gryffindor's sword to Harry.

"Give me the sword." Griphook said suddenly, "I have fulfilled my promise, and now it is your turn, Harry Potter, to fulfill your promise."

"Griphook, that's it..." Harry opened his mouth awkwardly, "We did promise to give you the sword, but..."

"But, you told me but?" Griphook asked angrily, "Harry Potter, you have no intention of fulfilling your promise, right?"

"We will give you the sword, but not now." Ron was a little carried away. In short, Hufflepuff's gold cup has been obtained, and the role of the ring is not that important.

"Are you...playing a word game?" Griphook smiled coldly, and then put his finger close to a gold vessel, "Give me the sword now, or don't blame me for triggering the alarm."

Ron was dumbfounded and said in panic: "Are you crazy? You can't escape even if Gringotts finds you."

"To be precise, you can't escape." Griphook smiled coldly, "As long as I can offer the sword of Legnac I, the goblin will accept me again.

As for you...those Death Eaters saw Harry Potter, so I, the one who triggered the alarm, must be considered guilty of the crime! "

"Griphook, calm down first." Harry hurriedly advised, "You don't know what this vault means to the Dark Lord, he won't let you go.

And we will give the sword to you when we are done with it, and it will not take more than half a year at most. "

"Do you think I will still believe you?" Griphook shouted sharply, "Now, give me the sword."

"Now you know why I asked you to sign so many contracts!" Aaron sighed quietly, "Harry, give him the sword!"

Harry struggled for a few seconds and reluctantly threw Gryffindor's sword to Griphook.

"Don't move, or I may accidentally touch something." Griphook warned the three of them, and put away Gryffindor's sword with satisfaction.

Then he grabbed Bogrod in front of him and pressed his palm against the vault door.

Click!

The vault door opened, and Griphook took Bogrod hostage and retreated outside.

"What are you going to do?" Harry asked nervously.

Griphook showed a sinister smile, "I only said I would bring you in, but I didn't say I would take you out."

boom!

The vault door closed again, and Griphook's arrogant laughter came from outside.

"Despicable villain." Ron cursed angrily, and then sat on the floor in despair, "It's over now, we can't get out."

"There is a way. We are not without hope." Harry suppressed the panic in his heart and comforted: "There are also Sirius and the others. If we fail to go back in time, they will definitely come to save us."

Ron couldn't comment, but his mood didn't improve at all, "The question is whether we can survive until that time."

"Ahem!" Aaron coughed, "Maybe the matter is not serious enough."
