I, Hogwarts Second Week

Hermione returned to the alchemy workshop as if she was facing a formidable enemy.

She quickly called Dobby and passed the message to Mr. Theseus Scamander and Sirius Black.

[Prometheus Blade] is really too important.

She can give up the Elder Wand, but she can never give up the fight for [Prometheus Blade].

This is too terrifying.

Theseus Scamander reacted quickly.

Almost in a few minutes, he rushed to the alchemy workshop.

"Is everything you said true?"

Theseus Scamander, the former war hero, walked in front of Hermione like a gust of wind with his black robe fluttering. His face was a little tired, and deep worries were hidden under his pale complexion. The years not only left gray marks on his beard and hair, but also made his back slightly hunched, which was a testimony to the burden of the magic world for many years.

"Hermione, every word you say is as heavy as a thousand pounds." Theseus' voice was low and powerful. He stared at Hermione's eyes, as if to confirm the authenticity of the information.

"It's true." Hermione affirmed. She took out her book "Hogwarts: A History of the School" and said, "You can see the words on the title page in the moonlight. Maybe Dumbledore knew that I would stay up late to study it, so he left such a mechanism."

Theseus Scamander took the book and left the workshop without looking back.

Half a minute later, he came back with a frown.

"What about the other one?"

"The other one has not changed." Hermione said.

"Very good, your information is very important." Theseus Scamander said. "I will send someone to the goblin kingdom immediately."

"I want to go too." Hermione looked at Theseus Scamander seriously. "Sir, except Owen, no one knows the truth about the Outer Gods better than me. Maybe I can help you."

"And us!" Harry and the others said anxiously.

Theseus Scamander looked at the young wizards, thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay. But if there is an unexpected situation, you can't stay there."

After that, he signaled the young wizards to prepare.

After a while, everyone gathered in the kitchen.

Hermione, Harry, Ginny and Fred went together.

The others stayed in the workshop.

Theseus Scamander took out a door key.

The five people held hands and formed a circle, and a gray light distorted time and space lit up.

They left here.

On the other side, Sirius and Lupin, who were far away in Paris, were also ready to go to the Fairy Kingdom immediately after receiving the news.

They knew more than Hermione.

For example, Rosier Hospital for Magical Disabilities has not received a reply from the group of therapists sent to the Fairy Kingdom for a long time.

It has been about two days since the last message.

A sense of uneasiness enveloped Sirius and Lupin.

In the current situation, it is difficult for people not to think in a worse direction.

"Has the Federation sent back any news?"

The two Apparated to the foot of the Alps.

The goblins did not allow them to anchor the portkeys of the Kingdom's subordinates.

They also cast many anti-Apparition spells at the entrance.

They had to walk the rest of the way to the middle of the mountain by themselves.

"It's as quiet as a pool of stagnant water." Lupin replied with a worried look on his face.

The Aurors responsible for protecting the healer are not from the Order of the Phoenix or the Ministry of Magic of their country.

Europe has been in turmoil for several years. They can't spare any manpower.

The protection work is mainly done by the Federation.

"I have a bad feeling." Sirius frowned.

If Rochelle's healer's loss of contact may be an accident, then what about the employees of the Federation?

It's impossible that everyone forgot to communicate. This is not a vacation.

"Be careful." Lupin said.

"Where are the others?"

"They are on their way." Sirius said.

The two stopped talking and quickly climbed the mountain in front of them.

About an hour later.

Sirius and Lupin rushed to the entrance of the fairy kingdom halfway up the mountain.

In front of them, there was a mess.

The pavilion where the elevator was located was blown to pieces.

There were only a few stones left on the base.

The elevator platform was nowhere to be seen.

The two panted and could only see a deep pit.

"We are late." Sirius took the lead and jumped into the deep pit.

Lupin followed suit.

The wind whistled in his ears.

The wind carried an indissoluble smell of blood.

It was so strong that anyone who inhaled it suddenly would faint.

"Shock reduction and speed stop!" Sirius fired a spell.

The spell turned into a cloud of smoke, gently lifting him and Lupin.

At a height of dozens of feet above the ground.

The speed of their descent suddenly decreased, like autumn leaves, until they landed steadily.

"Merlin!" Lupin looked at the scene with bloodshot eyes.

Blood, corpses, scattered all over the place like trash thrown away by someone.

Dozens of healers from Rosier Magical Injury Hospital, all fell in a pool of blood.

There were more corpses of goblins.

From the elevator platform to the city gate.

The blood covered all the land for dozens of feet, leaving them with no place to step.

Sirius rushed to the healers.

Checked them one by one to see if they were still alive.

"All dead." He gritted his teeth and spat out these three words.

"It wasn't the Killing Curse that killed them."

All the bodies here had bite marks on their bodies, otherwise there wouldn't be a river of blood.

The Killing Curse only kills the soul of the person, and does not cause any harm to the body, so it should be some kind of beast that killed these people.

Perhaps it was the [Son of Evil Omen].

Sirius was not sure.

But he did not stop here, but walked forward.

Passing through the narrow stairs, the fairy kingdom in the distance, the eternal city struggling in the flames was clearly engraved in his eyes.

Under the covered bridge, he saw the corpses of humans, the corpses of fairies, and the corpses of evil omens. They were all thrown into the underground dark river like corrupted flower buds.

Thousands of flesh and blood polluted the river.

The river water became still and no longer flowed.

And no longer flowing will breed corruption.

Corrupted flower buds grew out of the river valley, which was a blasphemous evil thing composed of countless pieces of flesh and blood.

At this moment, it was spraying poisonous gas.

As soon as Sirius entered this place, he felt dizzy.

He immediately used a Bubble Head Charm, a spell that uses bubbles to cover the head and allows people to breathe underwater.

The feeling gradually disappeared.

"Will there be any survivors?" Professor Lupin also cast the Bubble Head Charm. Although he is a werewolf and his resistance to toxic gases is much stronger than that of ordinary wizards, inhaling this gas for a long time will still cause him unpredictable damage.

"I don't know." Sirius shook his head. In the distance, the entire Eternal City was in flames, and the flames tore through the stars on the top of the cave.

Cruelly destroyed this magnificent view.

"The ancient ruins under the goblin city are very large. Perhaps some goblins have escaped this cruel massacre."

"Ah-" Professor Lupin sighed, "Let's go put out the fire first. The ruins are also the ruins left by wizards. It is my responsibility to protect them."

Sirius then remembered that Lupin was still the director of the Federation's Excavation Committee at this time. It was really no problem to say that it was his responsibility to protect the ancient ruins.

Immediately, the two began to put out the fire.

For a large-scale fire like this, using a weather spell is the simplest way.

They waved their wands together and transformed into rolling dark clouds.

Then they controlled the dark clouds to rain.

But their magic power was limited, and the Eternal City was too big. Rain could only extinguish a small area of ​​fire.

Sirius had to save the most important buildings of the royal court.

The fire in the royal court was quickly extinguished.

The carbonized corpses on the ground were proof that a massacre had broken out here not long ago.

Sirius and Lupin frowned and walked into the hall, not seeing a single survivor.

Then they went to the entrance of the ancient ruins.

It was all ruins along the way, so there was no chance of survival.

About half an hour later.

The Eternal City welcomed the second group of visitors.

It was Hermione and others led by Theseus Scamander.

And Zhang Xiaolin and Basil Pierre, together with Winston Gnom and other members of the Federation.

They arrived at the royal city one after another.

The tragic scene shocked everyone.

Almost immediately, the members of the Federation began to check the bodies on the ground and look for survivors.

More people rushed into the Eternal City.

Hermione and other friends followed in in silence, their pale faces bloodless.

Think about it, how long has it been since she last came here?

Just over a month.

In just over a month, the goblins have actually caused such a disaster.

Maybe - suddenly Hermione thought of the goblins infected with [Bad Omen] and the Golem Rebellion that happened before the last time.

One by one, it seems that some big hand is deliberately weakening the power of the goblins.

If there had not been the two disasters that happened before, perhaps the goblins would have had the power to fight Voldemort.

It would not have ended up with a one-sided massacre.

"He is indeed a monster." When he came near the royal court, Harry finally couldn't help but said in horror: "How many goblins died? I can't count? Densely packed."

"Maybe tens of thousands." Ginny gritted her teeth and said tremblingly.

"I think there must be 100,000." Fred said in a deep voice: "Didn't you see the lake just now? It's full of dead bodies."

"It's actually a river." Hermione explained: "Maybe there are too many bodies, blocking the water outlet"

"Merlin!"

Everyone exclaimed.

There are so many bodies that the river stagnates. What a terrible killing karma.

"Why?" Fred said: "Why did he set the fire?" He looked up at the exquisite buildings and the dilapidated galaxy dome in the distance.

Even now the fire has not been extinguished.

The dome was destroyed beyond recognition, but from the remaining and remnant, you can still see how great and magnificent this city should be.

Hermione was silent and did not answer.

She knew the answer.

Of course Voldemort would set the fire.

He would definitely set the fire!

Goblins occupying ancient wizard relics is simply a heinous crime in the eyes of wizard supremacists like Voldemort.

He probably wanted to remove the goblin race from this planet.

"Wait a minute..." The little witch was startled and suddenly thought of something, "Gringotts - that's the last fortress of goblins."

If Voldemort intends to kill all the goblins, whether because he hates goblins or wants the goblins to bury the secret of the Blade of Prometheus forever in hell, he will most likely break into Gringotts and completely eliminate the goblins.

"People have been sent to Gringotts." Theseus Scamander said coldly. "I hope it's not too late." There was a trace of worry in his eyes.

"It should be in time. The Death Eaters are unable to block Diagon Alley. We haven't received any news, which means that Gringotts is still in the hands of the goblins," Hermione said.

The fairy kingdom is too closed.

There is only one entrance, and the anti-Apparition spell and various protective spells are cast everywhere.

Once faced with an invincible enemy, the goblin will be trapped in a urn and will not even have a place to escape.

This provided a venue for massacres.

Just then, Sirius and Lupine collided with them.

Behind the two of them were several lost fairies.

This may be the only remaining goblin in the entire Eternal City.

"Frances?" Hermione recognized the goblin walking in front at a glance.

"It's you." Hearing his name suddenly, France suddenly came back to his senses.

His green face was filled with bone-deep numbness.

It was as if she was too sad and had no strength to express her emotions.

"Has the mysterious man been here? Did he kill your people?"

The goblin didn't speak, but nodded dully.

Hermione understood. Now that the situation was urgent, she didn't have the strength to comfort them.

He simply asked his question directly.

"Did he take away a treasure from you? A treasure called [Blade of Prometheus]!"

Hearing the sound, France raised his head, his eyes blurred and said: "No - madam. I don't know what [Prometheus Blade] is, but the king was indeed forced to give something to that terrible monster." He hit A cold person said: "It looks like a dagger, but it is a broken blade, only the tip of the knife."

"The tip of the blade?" Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Voldemort had not obtained the complete [Blade of Prometheus], ​​and they still had a chance.

"The other part. In other words, where is the goblin who knows the most about treasures among the goblins and is most likely to know what the [Blade of Prometheus] is?"

"Miss, are you ready to fight that monster?" France suddenly asked.

"Yes." Hermione nodded, "We all are. This is a battle of life and death."

"Then I'm willing to tell you." France's eyes suddenly burst out with intense hatred.

After seeing his own people die tragically before his own eyes.

Because I was familiar with the layout of ancient ruins, I found a hiding place and managed to survive.

Now the only meaning of France's life is revenge.

Revenge - revenge at any cost!

"Collector Nagnok." France shouted sharply: "He is the one who likes to collect things the most among us, especially the relics among ancient ruins. He knows the best."

"Where is he?" Hermione asked.

"In Gringotts!"

"He's one of the people in charge of Gringotts."
