Save the Bachelor of Heaven

 Chapter 4154 4156【Breaking into Gringotts】

Xiang Nan then came to the village of Saltaire in east London.

This is a very secluded small village. Forty years ago it was very small. Forty years later it is still very small and almost inconspicuous.

Xiang Nan quickly found a cliff on the coastline east of the village. The cliff stretches for several miles. The cliff is steep and is beaten by waves all the year round. Therefore, it is smooth and slippery, and no one can easily climb it.

And just at the bottom of the cliff, a crack appeared faintly.

Xiang Nan jumped from the cliff, and when he reached the sea, he had transformed into a sea otter. He swam in along the crack.

There is a dark passage inside the crack. When the tide is high, it is easily submerged by the sea water.

The dark passage is only one meter wide at its widest point, and the entrance is even less than thirty centimeters. It can be said that it is easily overlooked.

If Dumbledore hadn't been smart enough to follow Voldemort's life path and explore and investigate step by step, no one would have known that he would have hidden the Horcrux here.

Xiang Nan swam along the secret passage for more than 800 meters, and finally reached the end of the passage. There is a staircase at the end.

Xiang Nan climbed up the steps, transformed back into his human form, and then used the drying spell to dry his clothes. He walked up the steps and came to a wide cave.

Xiang Nan distinguished it carefully and couldn't help showing a slightly disappointed expression.

Because he was in the cave and did not notice the aura of magic.

"It seems that Voldemort hasn't hidden the Horcrux here yet." Xiang Nan guessed.

This is not surprising. Because as far as he knew, Voldemort hid the Horcrux in this cave in the 1980s. It's only seven or eight years now, so there's a gap of two years.

"Come and take a look every now and then." Xiang Nan then swam out of the cave and left the cliff.

…

After leaving the cliff and returning to the Dragon Power store, Xiang Nan sent a message to Dumbledore, telling him that he had not found the Horcrux in the cave.

Although Dumbledore was disappointed, he didn't say anything. Instead, he encouraged Xiang Nan to continue searching.

Xiang Nan agreed, and in the following days, he continued to develop magic props, anti-spell equipment, potions, etc., and visited the caves on the cliff every now and then.

Also, he tried to go to Gringotts.

Gringotts has a history of hundreds of years, and has many ancient and powerful protective magics in place to ensure that it is not invaded by outsiders at will.

Its safety can even be compared with Hogwarts.

However, Xiang Nan knows how to escape from the earth. This kind of Taoism does not exist in Europe at all, and has even been lost in the East. Even with Voldemort's vast knowledge, he had never heard of such magic.

Xiang Nan once used this magic to travel around Hogwarts. The Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin common rooms couldn't stop him.

Therefore, he wanted to test whether the earth escape technique would work in Gringotts.

If it works, then if Voldemort wants to give Hufflepuff's golden cup to Bellatrix and hide it in Gringotts, Xiang Nan can easily steal it without any trouble.

If that doesn't work, Xiang Nan will consider other methods.

Quirinus Quirrell, Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter can break into Gringotts, but Xiang Nan doesn't believe that he can't.

…

Xiang Nan then used the earth escape technique and entered the underground of Gringotts Tower. He could feel that Gringotts Tower was indeed surrounded by ancient and powerful magic. There are anti-intrusion magic, anti-theft magic, anti-vandal magic, and so on.

These magics are densely packed, one after another, like a dragnet.

Let alone a human being, even a fly or a mouse will be sensed immediately if it sneaks in.

Once detected, the fairy guards will arrive immediately, and their magic is also quite powerful.

Therefore, Gringotts' defensive capabilities are indeed extremely powerful, comparable to those of Hogwarts.

But for the earth-escape technique used by Xiang Nan, the protective magic of the goblins was not as effective as it should be.

Because Xiang Nan's earth escape technique is to integrate himself with the earth, rather than dig a hole like a mouse.

The goblins in Gringotts probably don't know about this magical magic, so they are completely defenseless and impossible to guard against.

After finding out this, Xiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

He then dived into the pits beneath Gringotts.

This hole goes hundreds of miles underground and is said to have been the site of an ancient goblin kingdom.

Goblins are ancient magical creatures that have mastered magic even before humans.

However, goblins hate humans and are unwilling to tell humans their magical secrets. Humans are also **** for tat and do not tell the goblins the secret of the wand.

In addition, the habits of goblins are also different from humans. They believe that anything made by fairies belongs to fairies. What a human buys is only the temporary right to use it, and it should be returned to the goblin after his death. Giving it to others is the same as stealing.

The founder of Hogwarts, Godric Gryffindor, once commissioned the goblin king Legnarc I to forge a sword. But the sword was so well made that it attracted the covetous attention of King Legnac I.

It decided to send the goblins to steal the sword back, but was repelled by Gryffindor and warned them not to steal it again. Legnac I had no choice but to swallow this breath, but from then on the goblins began to say that Gryffindor had stolen the goblin's sword.

It is precisely because of different ideas that conflicts often break out between humans and goblins. The book "History of Magic" records many wars between goblins and wizards.

Through these wars, although human wizards did not turn the goblins into slaves like they did when they subdued the house elves, the power of the goblins still suffered a major blow.

The goblin kingdom was destroyed in the fourteenth century, and the remaining goblins dispersed and lived in groups in tribes. Then the goblin Goth built the first and only wizarding bank in the UK on the original site of the ancient goblin kingdom.

The British Ministry of Magic once wanted to take control of Gringotts, but after running it for a while, they found that they couldn't do it at all, and finally gave it back to the goblins.

…

There is a huge hole beneath the Gringotts Bank building that stretches hundreds of miles to the center of the earth. There are a huge number of treasury on the rock wall in the pit.

For hundreds of years, almost all wizards in the British wizarding world have kept their money in Gringotts.

This applies to rich old families like the Black family, Lestrange, and Malfoy family, and to poor people like the Weasley family.

The defense levels of these vaults are different. The closer to the upper vault, the lower the defense. You only need a key to open it.

The key to the middle treasury is no longer valid, and the goblin must operate it himself to open the treasury door. Otherwise, you will be sucked in by the door and trapped in the door, unable to escape.

The goblin only inspects the treasury once every ten years, so his death is certain.

As for the vault at the bottom, it belongs to the oldest family, and their defense measures are also the strictest. There are even dragons guarding the door of the vault.
