#197 - Section 197

Ethan's reference image was Jormungandr, but unlike Surtr, this Jormungandr only possessed its form.

The reason for not using Surtr was simply that Surtr couldn't be unleashed in this environment, and this Jormungandr was sufficient for now.

The 'End of All Spells' mainly targets the effects of certain spells, especially those in energy form, and it works by counteracting energy.

However, Transfiguration has a carrier, so the 'End of All Spells' has some effect, but not a significant one.

The spell against Transfiguration is the Revealing Charm.

This is not only useful for wizards who have taken Polyjuice Potion, but also for Animagus transformations, as it is specifically aimed at Transfiguration, and its effect is to restore objects to their original state.

However, the Revealing Charm cannot be used in conjunction like the 'End of All Spells', and if the skill level is insufficient, it will have little effect on Transfiguration.

Therefore, Ethan doesn't care much about these goblins outside, as they don't have the ability to undo Ethan's Transfiguration.

Besides, Ethan is right there, how could he watch them act without doing anything?

Just as the giant serpent Jormungandr took shape, it stretched its body, and then charged headfirst towards the red transparent lid in front.

"What's that sound?"

Just as several goblins were discussing whether to send another team in to investigate the situation, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the cave.

Moreover, the sound was getting closer and closer.

It was as if the tunnel inside was collapsing, all the way from the innermost part to the entrance.

"Be careful, this commotion is likely caused by him, everyone be cautious."

It would be too coincidental for the cave to collapse, the only explanation is that the commotion was caused by the villain inside.

It's just not known whether it was caused by digging a tunnel inside to escape, or by trying to blow up the cave to take the opportunity to escape.

"Barna, take some people to..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the red magic barrier in front of him explode directly.

A huge golden snake head shattered the barrier and the surrounding stones, and the entrance was expanded a lot in one fell swoop.

Moreover, it didn't stop after rushing out of the cave, but rushed into the Gringotts hall, and then the hall exploded, and the entire Gringotts became a ruin under this blow.

Some goblins along the way were directly crushed into piles of flesh, and then burned to ashes by the flames around the giant python.

Looking at the giant python's body that was still constantly coming out of the cave, the goblins who had luckily escaped were trembling with fear, and the horror on their faces could not be concealed.

Of course, the wizards outside Gringotts also knew about this commotion, after all, Gringotts had directly exploded, and the burning giant golden snake head was directly overlooking in mid-air.

Originally, they had heard the alarm inside Gringotts, and after it had an accident, many wizards gathered around.

Then, due to the existence of the Wizarding Wireless, the news spread quite quickly.

Some wizards far away in other parts of Britain also used fireplaces or Apparition to come, just to see the excitement.

After all, robbing Gringotts, you don't know if you can see it a second time in your life.

Moreover, looking at the battle, you know that it is completely different from the tiger-headed and snake-tailed scene a few years ago.

This also led to the fact that when Jormungandr rushed out, it directly crushed some innocent people watching the excitement.

"Go!"

"Run away!"

"Help!"

"Ah ah..."

In the noisy and chaotic scene, almost all the wizards were fleeing for their lives.

The owners of some shops around also ignored their shops, and immediately turned around and drilled into the fireplace.

In the current situation, life is more important than Galleons.

Such a situation is not an isolated case, the owners of the entire Diagon Alley are fleeing for their lives, and even Knockturn Alley has been affected.

"Quick, contact Dumbledore, only he can solve this."

A witch with white hair and a cane pulled the wizard robe of the witch beside her who was at least sixty years old.

She also came to see the excitement. She had heard her parents talk about the Goblin Wars, and she didn't have a good impression of the goblins at all.

So at this moment, after learning the news, she asked her daughter to bring her here, just to see how the goblins were unlucky.

As a result, this excitement is not good!

"I'll take you away first."

Saying that, she pulled her sleeve and walked to the shop next to her.

Now is not the time to contact Dumbledore.

It's not too late to notify Dumbledore after reaching a safe place. Anyway, this giant python only needs to move a few times, and this Diagon Alley will be finished. It doesn't matter whether it's earlier or later.

Soon, the two came to a shop next to them, where several people were using Floo Powder, and soon it was their turn.

The main reason is that her mother is too old. Not everyone is a wizard like Dumbledore. Age has a great impact on strength and everything. The body is also particularly fragile, and even magic is quite difficult to control.

This naturally makes it impossible to use Apparition, and even dare not take her with her, for fear that something unexpected will happen in the process.

It wasn't until they returned home safely that they breathed a sigh of relief.

Then quickly took out the Wizarding Wireless to contact Dumbledore. Almost all of these surviving old guys have added Dumbledore's Wizarding Wireless friends.

After Jormungandr completely left the cave, Ethan also rode the Fire Phoenix and followed closely behind.

After seeing the scene, it was also a bit unexpected. Where the hell did the goblins run to?

At least one-third of Diagon Alley has become a ruin, and this is still the result of Ethan not controlling Jormungandr to actively destroy it.

Now if it is allowed to roll a few times, this Diagon Alley will probably be gone directly.

At the same time, Dumbledore, who was processing documents in the office, fell into silence as he watched the Wizarding Wireless on the table constantly flashing.

What happened again?

Just now, Gringotts encountered robbers, and many people sent messages to Dumbledore, asking if he would come over.

It's just that Dumbledore has not received an invitation from the goblins or the Ministry of Magic, so naturally he will not go easily.

Moreover, he is really busy these days.

As the host of the Triwizard Tournament, Hogwarts needs to consider and prepare a lot of things.

Adding to that, school is about to start again, and Harry's affairs need some arrangement. There simply isn't enough time, unlike those retired old fellows who are so leisurely watching the excitement.

So what's happening now?

One message after another was sent over.

Putting down his quill, Dumbledore opened his wizard mail.

He only took one look, and his brow furrowed deeply.

Although there were no photos to see the situation on the ground, the description made it clear that this was definitely a big deal.

Dumbledore had considerable trust in these old guys.

"Fawkes, to Gringotts!"

As Dumbledore's voice fell, Fawkes, standing on the bird stand beside him, spread his wings and flew with a cry. Then a burst of fire appeared, and Fawkes grabbed Dumbledore's shoulder and disappeared into the Headmaster's office.

Then, Ethan, who had just come out of the cave and had not had time to leave, saw Dumbledore emerge from the fire.

At that moment, the two met eyes.

Dumbledore immediately saw that this was the culprit, and he looked so familiar.

Ethan didn't want to fight Dumbledore yet, so the fire phoenix under his feet immediately exploded, becoming a sea of fire again, spreading around at an explosive speed, even engulfing Dumbledore himself.

Then, his wand pointed at Jormungandr.

The huge snake body began to twist and deform, but in a moment it turned into a giant hundreds of meters tall.

His whole body flowed with scorching eyes, and there were golden lines slowly flowing on the surface of his body, especially in the position of his eyes, the pair of golden eyes were full of majesty and madness.

He also held a huge sword of fire in his hand, exuding endless light and heat.

Dumbledore, who had escaped from the Fiendfyre, remembered where he had seen this figure as soon as he saw it.

It was he who had fought Voldemort before. If he hadn't arrived, Quirrell, the vessel, would have been exhausted by the battle between the two.

It's just that this fire giant is much stronger than he was back then.

The quickest solution is naturally to capture the ringleader first. As long as this wizard is taken down and he is made to undo the spell, it is the best and fastest way.

Otherwise, even if he takes action, the damage to the surroundings will be enormous.

But at this moment, Ethan directly turned into a wisp of black smoke and soared into the sky.

Dumbledore only thought for two or three seconds before choosing to give up. He knew this spell, the flying spell used exclusively by Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

Things started quite flexibly, and I don't know how many Death Eaters relied on this trick to run away.

Even if he wanted to catch him, it would take a lot of time, especially when the other party was still very strong.

Now he can't continue to let this fire giant wreak havoc.

After thinking it over, Dumbledore sighed and landed directly on the roof of Ollivander's Wand Shop.

He could only be glad that this shop hadn't been destroyed, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome for the freshmen to choose wands next year. This is the accumulation of the Ollivander family for hundreds of years.

Chapter 242: The Galleons Are Mine

September 1st, Hogwarts' opening day.

On this day, Hogwarts students will go to Platform 9 and 3/4 at King's Cross Station and take the Hogwarts Express to school.

Although a major event that shocked the entire wizarding world happened yesterday, causing some wizarding families to suffer certain losses.

But for Hogwarts, it's just something to add to the conversation. It won't affect its normal opening process at all.

After all, Hogwarts' funds rely on the support of the school board, and it doesn't have any profit-making measures itself.

There are even many welfare measures, which are completely subsidizing students to go to school. Of course, this is all the money of the school board.

This also makes Hogwarts have no savings in Gringotts at all. Even if there are, they are the private funds of the school board or professors, which have nothing to do with Hogwarts.

As for the majority of students, even if there is an impact, it will be solved by their parents. At most, they will have less pocket money.

But there are also some exceptions, such as Ethan, who asked Dumbledore for leave through wizard mail.

This year, he will not take the Hogwarts Express to school. After dealing with the Gringotts matter, he will go on his own.

Dumbledore did not refuse this, but asked Ethan to return to school as soon as possible after the matter was resolved.

There are more than just Ethan in this situation. Harry is also, of course, as are other wizards.

These are basically orphans who can control the family property alone and can only handle it themselves.

Ethan, a Muggle-born wizard, is the only Hogwarts student who has savings in Gringotts.

After saying goodbye to Cassandra and others at the entrance of King's Cross Station, Ethan took a taxi alone to the Leaky Cauldron, which was not far away.

Although Cassandra and the others also earned a lot of Galleons with Ethan, Ethan did not let them all deposit the Galleons in Gringotts.

Mainly because, for a Level 1 vault, it's not cost-effective to open one for their Galleons.

Level 2 and 3 vaults are not fully compensated. In addition, Ethan is unwilling to go there specifically. In the end, if it is preserved well, it will be neither profit nor loss. If it is gone, it will be a loss. It is better to do nothing.

As a result, they still started school as usual.

This morning, Ethan naturally also read the Daily Prophet, and had an understanding of the impact caused yesterday.

First of all, it is confirmed that fifteen Aurors sacrificed. For this reason, the Ministry of Magic will have to hold a memorial service a week later.

As for the losses of the goblins, the current statistics show that the number of deaths exceeds one hundred and ten. The reason why it is currently is also because after many goblins from other countries who came to support fled, the number of people cannot be determined for a while.

There are also the unlucky people who were affected. There are not many people in this part, only nine people.

Mainly because at that time, Gringotts did not allow any outsiders to enter, for fear that someone would take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Those who wanted to watch the excitement could only surround the outer circle.

Since the movement caused before the appearance of Jormungandr, the giant python, was not small, those who were affected were only those who reacted a few beats slower, or those who were brave enough to fish in troubled waters.
