#196 - Section 196

Ethan even took the time to visit vault 713, Dumbledore's vault.

But there really wasn't a single hair inside.

Ethan had never seen such an empty vault.

As time passed, Ethan could clearly sense that the magic reactions outside were also increasing, already exceeding two hundred.

Unfortunately, he couldn't use the Imperius Curse to control them here, otherwise this End of All Spells would be defeated without a fight.

But it didn't matter, the golden liquid burning with flames on Ethan's side was also increasing, and there was also a lot of magma gathering around, like a giant burning slime.

"Mr. Robert, Norris Pierce is inside, he has already killed ten goblins, please be sure to deal with him."

The head of Gringotts, the old goblin with all white beard and eyebrows, greeted a burly middle-aged man in the uniform of the Ministry of Magic with a smile the moment he saw him leading fifteen people.

Just now, many reinforcements came to other Gringotts branches. Of course, this was only a part of their security force. It was impossible to disregard their own safety in order to support Great Britain!

No one knew if this was the enemy's trick, attracting all the security forces to Great Britain, and then attacking other Gringotts branches, so only a small part went.

But even this small part, because there were enough Gringotts branches coming, was a considerable number.

It's just that although there were many, no one wanted to go in and subdue the robbers first.

Some people knew the fate of the first wave of cannon fodder, and no one wanted to follow in their footsteps.

But if they didn't go up, the End of All Spells could only have a defensive effect and seal the opening. It was impossible to spread inside, the space inside was too large.

So just now, several goblins were arguing outside about who should go in.

The Gringotts goblins in Great Britain believed that they had suffered heavy losses and could no longer afford to lose more.

The security personnel of Gringotts in other countries said that you are not in a hurry, why should we be?

Coming to support is also based on the internal regulations of the goblins, but the loss is your own.

Although other Gringotts branches need to help pay compensation when the time comes.

But this all needs to be repaid, with interest.

If you can't pay it off, then the goblins of your branch will pay it off together, and if that doesn't work, there will be the next generation, until the principal and interest are paid off.

How is it possible to help others for free?

Every copper Knut, these goblins remember clearly, how could they use their own money to wipe someone else's ass?

Even their own compatriots are the same.

But now there is no problem, the Gringotts Aurors have arrived, they are professional in this regard.

Moreover, they have no reason to refuse.

Even though Furen confirmed that this Norris Pierce was fake, we can pretend we don't know!

Now, the person inside is the Death Eater Norris Pierce, a wanted object of the Ministry of Magic.

Catching him is the Aurors' job.

He also used this excuse when requesting support from the Ministry of Magic.

Otherwise, he was really afraid that the Ministry of Magic would not do its best and just send some people over to get rid of him.

Sure enough, as soon as he said it was a Death Eater, the elite Auror force of the Ministry of Magic came.

And there were three squads, fifteen people.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, he knew in his heart that the Auror squad was much more elite than his security team. The two were not on the same level.

"Okay, I got it!"

David Robert glanced at the surrounding goblins, and finally nodded in agreement.

He could naturally see that these goblins were using him as a tool.

But there was no way not to go in, the Ministry of Magic had lost a lot of face recently.

It's just that Fudge was the most prominent one, and their Aurors were not much better.

The culprit who disrupted the Quidditch World Cup was caught by Ethan. They couldn't even take the credit for themselves.

Because at the scene of the incident, there were some other witnesses.

And the Death Eaters who caused a smaller riot, they didn't catch a single one.

Both of these were serious dereliction of duty for their Aurors.

Now, it was not easy for a Death Eater on the wanted list to appear, so it was naturally impossible to let it go.

As long as he was caught, many crimes could be pinned on him.

This was also the reason why this group of people appeared here. Otherwise, to support the goblins, it would be enough to send a squad of hitmen to deal with it.

It's just that in their impression, Norris Pierce shouldn't be that strong!

During the Wizarding War, many people had fought with him, and he was only at the level of an elite Auror.

After the two sides discussed a few more words, the End of All Spells opened a gap under the control of a group of goblins.

David Robert also led fifteen Aurors into it.

As soon as they entered, they felt a burst of heat that was unbearable, and immediately a group of people cast a spell to isolate the heat in the surrounding environment.

Along the track, before long they saw the culprit, Ethan, standing on top of the Firebird's head.

Beside him, there were also two huge slimes, one like orange-red magma, and the other like liquid gold.

The slime like orange-red magma was constantly melting the surrounding rock walls, and its size was increasing all the time.

And the slime like liquid gold, every time a golden Firebird crashed into it, its size increased by one point.

There was no doubt that the other party was preparing something.

But at the same time, he also found that this person was definitely not Norris Pierce.

The body shape, temperament, and the magic he was good at were all different.

But now, this was not the time to go out and confront the goblins.

Similarly, Ethan also recognized these Aurors, most of whom he had seen that night.

The leader of this group was following Rufus Scrimgeour at that time.

The reason they didn't recognize Ethan was because he used the Transformation Charm to slightly alter his physique. His current demeanor is also different from before.

The Transformation Charm can be used on oneself, but it still needs to follow the rules of the charm.

One must have a deep understanding of the object they are transforming into.

Slightly altering the physique is possible; Ethan's current figure is closer to his appearance during the last battle with Voldemort.

However, to transform into Norris Pierce without using Polyjuice Potion...

It requires careful observation and a thorough understanding of him. Ethan would be crazy to observe and understand a man when a potion can solve the problem.

Now that these Aurors have arrived, Ethan sees no need to hold back.

After all, it was just a fleeting acquaintance.

Chapter 241: Gringotts Turned to Ashes

"What's the situation inside now?"

The old goblin with white eyebrows and a beard was pacing anxiously after David Roberts had been inside for several minutes.

The fact that no news had come out after the Aurors went in made him have some bad premonitions.

Even some shouts of battle, or the sound of explosions from colliding spells, would make him feel better.

But it was this quiet atmosphere that made him particularly uneasy.

"Dobbin, why don't you go in and take a look?"

A goblin from the Paris Gringotts, who came to provide support, glanced at the head of the British Gringotts and said with a hint of mockery.

In the wizarding world, French and British wizards dislike each other and like to belittle each other at every opportunity.

The situation is no better among the goblins.

He would be happy to see the other party go bankrupt, unable to pay off their debts, and have their branch of goblins take over the British Gringotts business.

"Shut up, Barna!"

"If the Aurors can't solve the problem, then we need to go in."

Dobbin also rebuked him with a stern face, not indulging him at all.

Three Auror squads are already a considerable force in the wizarding world, and they can usually solve most problems.

The current situation suggests that either there are enough people infiltrating Gringotts to instantly subdue the Auror squad with a human wave tactic.

Or, the strength of the two sides is not on the same level, and they easily dealt with the Aurors, preventing them from even sending a message.

Neither is good news.

Also, he doesn't know the situation inside, but maintaining the Finita Incantatem spell like this is consuming a lot of magic power.

Even if they want to replace someone to continue using the Finita Incantatem to seal this place later, there will inevitably be some loopholes in the middle. If the other party seizes this opportunity, it will be quite troublesome.

While the goblins outside were pacing anxiously, Ethan was clearing the spoils of war.

Aurors usually carry a lot of alchemical items, some of which they prepared themselves, and some of which were purchased uniformly by the Ministry of Magic.

This is also to increase the survival rate of the Aurors, after all, they are the Ministry of Magic's guarantee of force.

Now these things are all benefiting him. The Warlock Council in Britain cannot use these alchemical tools openly.

But Slez, who operates internationally, has no such concerns. Their capture of magical creatures is also quite dangerous, and their equipment is naturally not as good as the Aurors of the regular army.

This can be used by them, which is also a benefit after Ethan takes over.

Dealing with these Aurors just now was also quite simple.

He directly controlled half of the people with the Imperius Curse. Their vigilance target was Ethan, and they had no defense against these companions who could entrust their backs to each other.

Faced with companions who suddenly turned against them, they had no resistance at all and were directly taken away in one wave.

Then the rest, under Ethan's control, ended their own lives.

If Ethan's Mind Flayer identity were here, they might be wary of the Imperius Curse and be more vigilant towards their companions, but unfortunately, this is a completely new identity.

These Aurors have no information at all.

It can only be said that the Imperius Curse is really useful, and in some respects, it is even more difficult to defend against than the Killing Curse.

It is worthy of being one of the three Unforgivable Curses.

I just don't know when someone will invent an alchemical device that can prevent being controlled by the Imperius Curse.

Unfortunately, until now, Ethan has not heard of the existence of alchemical tools with similar effects.

The only way at present is to increase resistance.

After being hit by the Imperius Curse multiple times, there will be a certain degree of resistance, and it may be possible to break free from the Imperius Curse.

In general, this is still related to mental strength.

But this attribute can only be increased by oneself, and there is no way to train and strengthen it.

After throwing the sixteen corpses into the Fiendfyre and using them as fuel.

Ethan floated to the top of the Fire Phoenix again.

The preparations are almost complete. Some of the nearby vaults have been burned by Ethan, melting everything inside. Now all these molten metal liquids are with Ethan.

The Lava Slime is even bigger. If there wasn't enough space, it wouldn't fit here. After all, it only needs to devour the surrounding rock walls to grow.

Taking out his wand, violent magic power began to surge around Ethan, and even the Fire Phoenix under him was a little unstable, with flames flaring everywhere.

The fiery red Lava Slime and the Golden Slime were merging with each other. After covering its surface with a layer of burning golden liquid, the overall shape began to elongate.

It became a super python thousands of meters long and tens of meters thick, with burning golden flames in its eyes.

From its open mouth, one could also see the lava constantly flowing inside.
