Chapter 481: Ghost On The Sea

French streets.

Under an old female statue.

Ariana looked carefully at the base of the statue in front of her.

She raised her head and looked around.

After realizing that no one was paying attention to him, he took a step forward.

Then, her figure penetrated into the base of the statue as if she had no entity...

Ariana felt her vision blurred for a while, and then the scene in front of her was completely different.

At this time, she was no longer on the Muggle street.

Instead, it was on a wizarding street that was no less lively than Diagon Alley.

Ariana walked through the crowd and walked towards the end of the trip, Gringotts, France.

As she slowly approached Gringotts, France, invisible people wearing cloaks walked out of the crowd and followed her quietly.

By the time she arrived at the entrance of Gringotts, more than fifty people had gathered behind her.

When other wizards on this street saw this formation, they all retreated involuntarily.

If so many people gather, they will either rob or fight.

Thinking of the big incident of Gringotts being robbed in the UK, who wouldn't be afraid?

However, Ariana is not a robber. On the contrary, she is here to help the goblins escort the gold today.

Ariana took off her cloak, looked up at the French Gringotts in front of her, looking up at a face that had aged deliberately to look particularly "kind".

It has to be said that the construction techniques of the goblins are quite different.

It seems to be no different from Gringotts in Diagon Alley in the UK.

No wonder the wizards in France are so nervous to withdraw all their money.

Gringotts in the UK was robbed, and Gringotts in France should not be able to stop it either.

At this time, the goblins also noticed the group of people gathered outside the door.

The goblin guard standing at the door ran "Zero Five Seven" out, and after chatting with Ariana for a few words warily, he quickly ran in.

After a while, two goblins walked out of Gringotts.

"Welcome, Mrs. Dumbledore, we didn't expect you to come so early." One of the goblins said with a smile.

"Um...hello." Ariana greeted vaguely.

Then he carefully recalled the two goblins he had discussed business with in Diagon Alley that day.

But she still couldn't identify whether the goblin in front of her was one of the two goblins who were looking for her that day.

After all, in the eyes of human wizards, goblins all look similar.

At this time, another goblin came out and looked at Ariana in front of her with a little arrogance.

"Are you Dumbledore's sister?"

He blatantly began to look at the more than fifty wizards behind Ariana.

"This is Egg, the manager of Gringotts in France. Please don't pay attention, his character is just like this..."

"Wait a while, we will still be relying on you." The goblin who spoke at the beginning said respectfully.

It can be said that his attitude is completely different from that of the French Gringotts goblin.

Egg looked a little angry and said: "I don't know why you trust human wizards so much, and you can actually convince the headquarters, but since it was you who proposed it, then... something really happened, you yourselves You bear the consequences at your own risk!”

The goblin quickly reassured his French colleague.

But the goblin named Egg still seemed reluctant.

Ariana's heart moved slightly. In other words, maybe only the goblins from the UK and their so-called high-level officials knew about this operation?

Because for goblins, it is normal to have a reaction like Egg's when they ask human wizards to help them transport gold.

Ariana suddenly smiled and said: "I can understand your caution. However, I have a way to safely transport this batch of gold galleons to the UK.

Egg asked disdainfully: "What method?"

Ariana ignored his impoliteness and continued: "You should have heard of Blake, the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin, 10th degree in history.

...I've heard of it...but, what does this have to do with Blake?" Iger had obviously heard of Blake's name.

"Of course it does matter. You should have heard that he used a special alchemy tool to directly transport Sirius, who had been wronged, to the Ministry of Magic, and then helped Sirius clear his name."

"As for the alchemy tool he used, I happen to have one here. So, we can send the gold galleons directly from France to the UK. This eliminates all risks on the road." Ariana finished, He glanced at the two goblins in front of him. This is Ariana's test.

As soon as Ariana finished speaking, the expressions of the two goblins in front of her changed slightly.

The goblin whose name Ariana couldn't remember at first had a trace of panic on his face.

The goblin named Egg frowned.

"How about it? If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself first..."

Ariana took out a brand new teleport point from her pocket.

Blake even gave her the blueprint for this thing, so she can have as many as she wants.

At this time, Ariana clearly felt the goblin from the beginning, and the panic on her face became even more obvious.

Suddenly, Iger shook his head and said: "Human wizards, no matter what they say, I still can't trust you."

"This kind of alchemy prop is too variable. Who knows where you will send the gold when you transfer it?"

Hearing Egger's words, the other goblin suddenly became energetic, and then said with a sorry smile: "Oh... Mrs. Dumbledore, there is nothing we can do about this. According to regulations, we escorts must always follow Jin Zi. Next to it. So, although your alchemy prop is very magical, we can't use it. So, I hope you can understand.

Ariana smiled slightly when she heard this: "Well, since it is a rule, there is nothing we can do about it. Besides, we are just helping you transfer the gold, and we are getting so much reward, which makes us feel uneasy.

Seeing that Ariana didn't force her, or even doubt her, the goblin was secretly glad.

"Okay, now that all your people are here, let's transport the things out and prepare to set off."

At this time, five more carriages pulled by Ye Ji descended from the sky.

In Gringotts, a group of fully armed goblin guards walked out one after another.

Their equipment looks much better than the goblin guards in England.

It should be that lessons from the former have been learned.

After a while, several more goblin guards came out of Gringotts carrying several boxes.

Ariana knew that these boxes must have been under the Invisible Stretching Charm.

Otherwise, it would never be able to hold so much gold... Of course, Ariana doubted whether it really contained gold.

After all, if this is just a trap, there is no need to risk a fortune.

Soon, all five boxes were loaded into the carriage, and then, for each carriage, two more goblin guards climbed aboard.

However, there was no goblin on the carriage at the beginning.

Egger said coldly: "I didn't prepare a carriage for your men, but I think you must be prepared.

After he finished speaking, he climbed into the carriage.

Obviously, this goblin who doesn't know the truth is making things difficult for Ariana.

The other goblin said apologetically: "Oh... this guy is really serious. Don't worry, I will prepare another carriage for your men.

Ariana smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, they have all prepared broomsticks... It is more convenient for us to ride on the broomsticks and protect the convoy.

"Okay, you're more thoughtful." The goblin flattered him, and with his humble look, he didn't even look like a goblin anymore.

In the eyes of other goblins, "Everyone looked at him with contempt.

But the goblin seemed not to have seen the eyes of his kind, and continued: "However, riding a broom is very windy, why don't you ride in the carriage with us.

Their target is Ariana. To trick her into a carriage, there is a greater chance of taking action.

In fact, they didn't dare to underestimate Ariana, after all, she was Dumbledore's biological sister!

Even if he is not as powerful as Dumbledore, he is not that weak!

"Xilulu!" The Yejis pulled the carriage and soared into the sky.

The surrounding members of the Fourth Natural Disaster also silently took out their broomsticks from their pockets that had been casted by the Traceless Stretching Charm, and took off one after another, circling the carriage in an orderly manner at high speed.

Flying.

In the carriage, the goblin looked at the wizards surrounding him and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

It seemed that "Dumbledore Security" lived up to its reputation. These guys looked difficult to deal with.

Thinking that he might be the first to bear the brunt of the attack later, the goblin felt very nervous.

Although Egger didn't know the real purpose of this trip, he also felt very nervous because he didn't trust these wizards from the bottom of his heart.

And now, they have brought so much gold out with them, but their manpower is far less than these wizards...

If these guys really want to rob, they will succeed because of the probability.

Egger still doubts whether his superior's order was issued while drunk...

Just ask human wizards to help escort them, and only send a few goblin guards...

It made this trip seem like it was specially robbed for others.

Seeing the nervous look on the goblin next to her, Ariana suddenly smiled and said, "Look, how are my subordinates doing?"

The goblin quickly raised his thumb and said, "Very powerful! He looks like an experienced warrior!"

"Then... why do you still look so nervous?" Ariana asked with a smile, while gently wiping her wand with a handkerchief.

"Uh... You saw it, and it made you laugh... It's like this. I have always worked in the office before, and this is the first time I have participated in such an important task as escorting gold. It's a mission, so I'm a little nervous." The goblin wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Oh...that's it, don't worry, as long as we are here, no one will be able to touch the gold. Please don't worry." Ariana confidently fiddled with the ring on the index finger of her right hand.

“Hey, of course, of course the goblin’s eyes couldn’t help but be attracted by Ariana’s ring.

What made him feel strange was that Ariana looked very old, but the hand with the ring looked very white.

Not long after, this special convoy, which had been cast with a confusion spell to avoid being detected by Muggles, arrived at the beach.

The route arranged by the goblins requires crossing the sea.

Ariana noticed that the goblin next to her suddenly clenched her hands tightly.

She smiled and looked out the window. If she guessed correctly, the place where the other party took action must be at the sea.

I have to say that this is a good place. If we are really attacked, we can only fight in the sky.

Even if he is riding a broom, there are still many restrictions in aerial combat. In theory, it can restrain the wizard's combat effectiveness very well.

The most important thing is not to be in the air

Easily escape.

However, wouldn’t this also constrain their own combat effectiveness?

Maybe they have a way to fight freely in the air?

While Ariana was thinking, the company had quickly sailed into the sky over the sea.

Suddenly, Ariana felt a slight chill on her body, as if she had passed through a film of water.

She turned to look out the window, and sure enough, at some point, heavy fog began to appear on the endless sea!

Egger, who has always been vigilant, has obviously noticed the changes happening outside!

He turned to look at Ariana and asked sternly: "Is this your fault?!"

Ariana said calmly: "Calm down, Egg."

"How can I calm down? I know it! You wizards will definitely

"That's enough! When can you put aside your prejudices and think calmly?"

Ariana shouted coldly: "Now that the whole world knows that we have accepted your commission, if something happens to you, do you think we can be safe? What kind of fools are you?

Would you use this method to rob?"

"Then... maybe you want to steal all this money and keep your name anonymous..." Egger's defense was interrupted again.

"To be honest, this little gold is just a lot for you."

"Do you think I would live in anonymity all my life for such a small amount of gold?"

"Okay, if you can't think clearly, just continue to stay here and think."

"And I am going to continue completing my commission. Because our guests have already arrived.

Ariana said, looking towards the window in front.

I saw many figures appearing in the thick fog.

What's weird is that these figures are standing in the air out of thin air! Without using any tools! They are like ghosts. 1.7

At this time, the convoy had also stopped and a confrontation broke out with the other side.

Ariana's figure disappeared from the car, and the next second, she appeared on the roof of the carriage.

She stroked her wand and looked at the strange figures standing in the sky from a distance.

"Hmm... It seems that these guys are not simple people after all... Everyone, get ready and get into battle formation."

The members of the Fourth Disaster immediately retreated from the surroundings and surrounded her.

Even though the guys on the opposite side look extremely weird, these people who are loyal to Blake are always fearless.

"I...I'm here to help too..." The goblin also climbed from the carriage to the roof, following closely behind Ariana. Ariana suddenly disappeared just now, which scared him

A jump.

Ariana just glanced at him and winked at a subordinate next to her.

The man nodded slightly and landed directly on the top of the carriage. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he guarded the old goblin tightly.

This made the old goblin secretly anxious. Although now was not a good opportunity for a sneak attack, this guy was too much in the way!

"Ariana Dumbledore?"

Opposite, among those strange figures, someone asked.

"It's me, then...who are you?" Ariana took a step forward and actually stepped directly onto the roof of the carriage!

Just when she was about to fall down, suddenly, there was a ripple in the air under her feet.

Then, like the figures opposite, she stood steadily in the air!

"Oh? As expected of a member of the Dumbledore family." The voice seemed a little surprised.

"I think you are definitely not blocking the road like this just to have a brief chat with me?" Ariana said with a smile.

"Indeed, we are here to rob."
