I'm a wizard with a proof from Hogwarts
Chapter 8 Vault No. 1 and the Sword in the Stone? "
Following Chichikov's guidance, Rudy and Snape boarded a car engraved with golden patterns and inlaid with various gemstones... Well, this was probably... a mine cart, right?
According to Chichikov's introduction along the way, Gringotts' vault is set up a thousand meters underground in London. There is a fire dragon guarding it deep underground. It is the safest bank in the world.
The small mine car is constantly moving downwards from the ground track in a spiral. Along the way, small holes marked with numbers appear on both sides of the track, which should be the so-called treasury.
Rudy curiously asked Snape what his number was. Although Snape said "None of your business", he actually leaked a number "641" at the end of the words.
Chichikov, who was shaking the joystick vigorously in front, raised his ears and immediately turned his head and interrupted: "No. 641! Oh, I remember No. 641. This guest has a lot of money in his treasury!"
Snape urged with a dark face: "Stop talking nonsense and act quickly."
....In this way, the trolley kept going down, and the small vault holes on both sides of the track gradually became empty from being very dense at the beginning, and even the distance between each vault cave became smaller as it went down. It got bigger and bigger, and it continued like this for about ten minutes.
Looking at the track that had reached the end and the surrounding environment that had fallen into darkness, Rudy unconsciously moved closer to Snape, and asked the tired and panting Chichikov: "Well, Mr. Chichikov... .?"
"Are we here yet?"
Chichikov took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped the sweat from his forehead, bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, distinguished guest."
"This is the bottom floor of the vault, the two largest vaults in the entire Gringotts." He said, pointing his right hand in a direction in the dark void.The next second, starting from that direction, several torches ignited flames, dispersing all the surrounding darkness, revealing the entire bottom layer.
A larger and more spacious underground space than imagined appeared in front of Rudy and Snape, which even gave Rudy the illusion that London had not been hollowed out by these goblins.
And the most surprising thing was that in front of them, as the torch was lit, a huge creature appeared in front of them. ,
The dark red scales reflect an orange-red glimmer under the firelight. Even if they are curled up together, they occupy most of the bodies in the sight of the three people present. After being folded, the wings are also difficult to hide, as well as the ferocious horns that open under the eyes. The vertical pupils that kept rising after opening.
No one thought that it was the dragon guarding the underground vault that Chichikov said!
Maybe it was triggered by the constant light of fire around it, or maybe it was woken up by the arrival of the three people. In short, now this giant beast is constantly stretching its huge body and looking down at the people in front of it.If the three of them are dissatisfied with one thing, I'm afraid they will be greeted by the hot dragon's breath.
Although he knew nothing would happen, Snape still stepped forward and instinctively stood in front of Rudy and pulled out his wand.Unlike Snape, Rudy's first reaction when he saw the dragon was not fear or panic.On the contrary, not only was he not afraid, but he also wanted to get up and touch the dragon.
He felt that he must be crazy to have such thoughts.
Seeing that the guest was frightened, Chichikov seemed to have been prepared. He immediately stepped forward and took out a white and transparent gem from his arms, and shouted loudly: "Great Red Dragon, we are here to take out the No. 1 vault. Something, this is the certificate!”
Chilong lowered his huge head slightly when he heard the sound. Rudy felt that Chichikov's short legs seemed to be trembling under his golden-red vertical pupils.
Perhaps the so-called credentials worked. Chilong raised the dragon claw on his left side, revealing what was under the claw.That is a golden door, also known as Vault No. 1.
Under Chiron's gaze, Chichikov bowed respectfully, then turned around and made an invitation gesture to Rudy and Snape, and then took the lead towards the golden door.
Seeing that the crisis was cancelled, Snape quietly retracted his wand and led Rudy to follow Chichikov in front.
Although on the surface his poker face remained unchanged, in fact he was still very panicked.After all, it was the dragon known as the most powerful magical creature. Even as proud as he was, he would never dare to say that he could defeat the red dragon, not to mention that he had to protect Rudy behind him.
'Damn it Dumbledore, you didn't tell me there were dragons on this trip! '
Cursing in his heart, Snape led Rudy and followed Chichikov. The three of them came to the golden door. Chichikov motioned to the two of them to wait, and carefully pressed the gem in his hand in front of the golden door. It's on a stone pillar.Then he stretched out the fingers of his right hand, inserted its sharp nails into a hole in the stone pillar where the gem was placed, and turned it back and forth a few times.
This is not over yet. After doing all this, Chichikov took two steps back slightly and said respectfully to Rudy: "Dear guest, the last step is to verify your blood. Please put a drop of your blood on the gem. of blood.”
Rudy glanced at Snape and saw that he didn't respond, so he bit his finger and pointed the wound at the gem on the stone pillar.
Blood dripped, and the originally white and transparent gem began to reflect dazzling red light from the inside out after absorbing Rudy's blood.
"Rumble--" In the dazzling red light, accompanied by the sound of gears driving the amplifier, the golden door blocking the three people slowly opened.
Behind the three of them, the huge red dragon gathered his body when he saw the door open, and once again lay on the ground. He said unceremoniously that if Rudy and the others failed to open the door, then what would greet them next second would be The roasting of dragon's breath.
Chichikov, who also saw the door open smoothly, almost knelt down to Rudy in excitement. Blessed by the Goblin King, he could actually see King Arthur's treasure house open with his own eyes in his lifetime.This certificate gemstone has been passed down from its great-great-grandfather’s generation, and has been passed down to this generation today. I originally thought that it would be passed on to its next generation, but I didn’t expect it!I didn’t expect that! ! !
Big tears kept pouring out of its huge eyes like broken threads. Chichikov was crying and laughing at the same time, leaving Snape and Rudy confused.
The inner thoughts of the two people were surprisingly consistent at this time——
'Is there something wrong with this goblin...'
But seeing that it didn't look like it would get better soon, Rudy followed Snape's signal and the two of them walked into the vault side by side.
Heaven and earth are a mirror, Tathagata is a witness, my God!
Rudy pulled out all the gods he could think of and said it. He could swear that this was definitely the most wealth he had ever seen in his two lives.
If we have to use volume to describe it, this vault is roughly as big as half a football field.And its reserves are astonishing and can only be described as mountains of gold and silver!Gold with high purity will reflect very dazzling light when exposed to light, and the gold in this vault is like projecting a beam of light into a kaleidoscope.The moment after the door opened, the fire outside the door immediately seemed to set the entire vault on fire. The mountains of gold were so bright that they almost blinded Rudy and Snape's eyes.
It was so outrageous that even Snape, who was well-informed and had no interest in money, was stunned after seeing the wealth of this incredibly wealthy country.
But after all, he is a person who has seen the world. Snape suddenly came back to his senses and shook his head vigorously, then turned around and walked quickly towards the door, shouting to Rudy as he walked: "Pack whatever you want in your bag, what we want to buy won't cost much."
Rudy looked at Snape strangely as he walked out of the vault. After casually responding, he began to stroll among the golden mountains and rivers.He discovered that there was a path in the middle of the golden mountain that led all the way to the depths of the treasury.
According to ordinary people's thinking, good things are usually hidden in the innermost part, so driven by curiosity, Rudy passed all the gold and silver treasures and followed the path towards the innermost direction.
Finally, behind two mountains of gold coins, Rudy saw a huge golden dragon!Although it is not as big as the red dragon outside the vault, its size is definitely not small. It is roughly estimated that it is as high as a three-story building.However, judging from its pair of dragon eyes inlaid with gems, it seems that it is not alive, but a simple golden statue.
However, with most of its body buried under the golden mountain, it seems to be guarding something?
Feeling that he was about to discover the real treasure, Rudy quickly walked towards the belly of the golden dragon. Under the two huge golden dragon claws, that was where the real treasure of the entire vault should be.
However, when Rudy actually saw something like that, his first reaction was——
That's it! ?After working on it for a long time, just show me this! ?
Rudy, who originally thought it was some rare treasure, was excited for a long time, but who knew that under the golden dragon claws, there was nothing else but a sword stuck on the ground.
Damn, I was so excited for nothing.
Damn it, who is so full that he can stick a sword here and do it mysteriously? There must be cat cakes.
But it was over, and Rudy walked up to the sword and looked at it carefully.
One thing to say, this sword is indeed quite gorgeous.
Under the sapphire blue hilt outlined by gold, the golden sword body and the gorgeous rubies inlaid on the sword body are gorgeous yet elegant. The snow-white blades on both sides of the sword body yet retain the majesty of the weapon. The whole sword is light. Inserted there, it looks like an exquisite piece of art.
Rudy held his chin and circled the sword several times. While looking at it, he murmured to himself: "Does this scene and this shape look more and more like the scene where you draw the sword and claim the king?"
"But I remember that the Sword in the Stone should have been destroyed, right?"
"So, this shouldn't be the Sword in the Stone, right? Then again, who does this vault No. 1 belong to? It's quite vulgar to hold a sword-drawing ceremony here, even if there are so many gold and silver treasures. "
Just as Rudy crossed his arms and commented, Snape's impatient voice came from outside the vault: "Kid, I'm still very busy, so I don't want to say it again, so hurry up!"
"You should be lucky that you haven't been sorted yet, otherwise I would definitely deduct 50 points from you first!"
After hearing this, Rudy just rolled his eyes and made a face towards the outside of the vault. Then he looked at the sword stuck on the ground and thought for a moment. He rolled his eyes and shouted towards the outside of the vault: "Professor, I know everything in here." Can I get it?"
Snape replied impatiently: "Yes, that's right, so hurry up!"
After receiving the affirmation, Rudy swallowed, stepped forward, grasped the sapphire blue hilt with both hands, and then began to exert force with both hands.
Suddenly, a vague voice passed through Rudy's mind. It seemed to be speaking?
——"Before you pick it up, it's better to think about it carefully. Once you pick up this sword, you will no longer be human until the end. You will be hated by all humans, and you will eventually meet a tragic end." —
Rudy listened blankly to the words echoing in his mind, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should continue to draw his sword, especially the last two words in the voice.
You will be hated by all humans and eventually meet a tragic end....
Damn it, is it such an exaggeration? How can you be resented by all humans just by drawing a sword?
What the hell is this?Magic sword? ?
Forget it, forget it. Isn’t it okay if I don’t want it?
If it had been him before, he might have drawn the sword without hesitation, but after seeing the so-called magical world, he hesitated.
It's not that he is a coward, it's just that he is hated by all mankind, just because of a sword... It's not worth the gain...
Although this sword looks very good...
Ah, it's not that bad, just pick up some gold coins and gems and go out.
After thinking about it, Rudy was about to let go and leave, but in the next second, he flew out behind him uncontrollably!
1 minutes ago...
Snape outside the door suddenly remembered that there was still a pot of potion in his office that had not been turned off!I originally thought it would take a long time to take a new student around Diagon Alley, but after going back and forth for a long time, it actually took this long.
There was nothing he could do. Without any psychological pressure, Snape drew out his wand and said to the vault: "Here comes the coat!"
So the scene happened now. Because he was wearing a small trench coat with a row of buttons, Rudy didn't even have time to react, and he flew straight back.Along with it, the sword was pulled out in Rudy's desperate eyes...
God knows what Rudy's reaction was at that time. If he had to sum it up, it could only be - I have a saying about MMP that I don't know whether to say or not! ! !
According to Chichikov's introduction along the way, Gringotts' vault is set up a thousand meters underground in London. There is a fire dragon guarding it deep underground. It is the safest bank in the world.
