Chapter 4 The Treasure House
·
Wo Bu Geng Xin
"Shouldn't there be a fire dragon guard?"
Professor McGonagall looked at the darkness in front of them, and asked a little strangely.
According to what she knew, there would be fire dragons guarding the front of the truly valuable vaults in Gringotts.As for the inheritance of the Gaunt family, if you think about it with your toes, you know it must not be an ordinary treasury.More importantly... the location here is too far forward, and everyone knows that the Gringotts pulley ride is quite a bad experience.
But every time you come to withdraw money, everyone will inevitably have to go through this experience.But this time, they didn't even spend half a minute on the tackle.Riding a tackle seems superfluous.It feels like people are neglecting here.But it's also true, if it wasn't for this encounter, then Professor McGonagall would never have thought that there would be a treasury in this position.
The goblin turned its head and glanced at Professor McGonagall. It wasn't vicious, but it wasn't friendly either.
"It's not necessary. These treasure houses here don't need our protection. If the people who enter the treasure house are not members of this family, then they can't come out of the treasure house alive."
The goblin answered very casually, after all, he really didn't have much to say.
Professor McGonagall naturally noticed something was wrong.The treasure house of Gringotts is actually being tossed by the people who store the treasures. There must be an unknown transaction behind this.
Luke didn't really care about it. There was absolutely no problem with his blood, but as for the amount of money here, to be honest, he didn't even have the confidence.
The ghost knows how much money the previous generations took out of it and how much money was left to him.
Think of all the fine furniture and elegant artwork in your own log cabin.Luke was a little pessimistic, hoping that there was enough money left over to buy some basic supplies.As for the means of earning money, of course he would not be without it.
The three of them have their own thoughts, step by step towards the depths of the cave.
Shaoqing, after turning an unknown number of turns, a light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and his eyes that had adapted to the darkness felt a tingling sensation in an instant, and only vaguely saw the door flashing, but soon the light adaptation was over, and they finally saw To the front of the whole picture of the treasure house gate.
It looks to be six or seven meters high, and the carvings on it are gorgeous and dignified. There are heads of many famous ancestors of the Gaunt family, including Slytherin, on it, but for some reason, all of these heads have their eyes closed.In the middle of the door, there is a conspicuous keyhole.Surrounding the keyhole is a ouroboros carved from emerald.
To be honest, both Luke and Professor McGonagall were taken aback when they saw the door.Let’s not talk about what’s in the treasure house, but the gate of the treasure house is worth enough from the material point of view.Luke suddenly had considerable confidence in the deposits in the treasury.
The goblin stopped and said to Luke, "Please use the key in your hand to open the door."
After speaking, he turned around and left without any hesitation.For one thing, this was their promise back then, before the vault belonged to them, they would not approach the vault when it was opened.Secondly, in his memory, the treasure house of the Gaunt family should not have been opened for hundreds of years.After all, their family is very rich, even if they take out the huge amount of money in the treasury, they still have a lot of money.
Unlike the outside world, the goblins knew about the separation of the Gaunt family from the very beginning.As for the reason, they don't know, and they don't care.They only knew that if the descendant of the Gaunt family in front of them hadn't come, then the huge sum of money should have belonged to them in the first place.
He really didn't want to be stimulated by this.
Professor McGonagall saw the goblin leave, and Luke walked to the door with the key, and quickly asked, "Luke, do you need me to avoid it?"
Luke looked back at Professor McGonagall, saw the sincerity on the professor's face, then shook his head decisively: "There is no need to teach, I believe you."
Then, without waiting for the professor to respond, he quickly inserted the key into the lock and turned it.
Around the keyhole, the Ouroboros, which represents eternal rebirth, began to rotate. As it rotated, the eyes of the ancestors' heads slowly opened, revealing the huge emeralds under the eyelids.The next moment, all the 'eyes' were fixed on Luke who was standing in front of the door below, and projected a cold green light.
Professor McGonagall took two steps back subconsciously the first time she saw the green light, and her intuition told her that if she stuck to these lights, she might not end well.
But in the next moment, she stopped the steps she was about to back, and even took a step forward, approaching the edge of the green light, and stared closely at Luke to observe whether there was any abnormality on him.The right hand has grasped the wand, and it seems that it is ready to rescue Luke at any time.
After all, this thing has not been opened for many years.Who knew this thing wasn't working yet.
Luke just felt like coming home at this point.When the cold green light shone on him, it gave him a very warm feeling, just like the gentle touch and earnest entrustment of those kind elders, full of concern.
'Unfortunately it's green...'
After all, Luke couldn't help muttering in his heart.
The green light didn't last long, and it disappeared completely after a while.The door opened slowly, revealing what was inside.
"Hiss—" x2
Luke and Professor McGonagall gasped together when they saw the scene in the treasure house.
Luke remembers the shock and envy on his face when he saw Harry's little golden mountain in the movie.At that time, I felt that Harry was really a rich second generation!
Of course, I also learned later that the Potter family can be said to have monopolized the shampoo business in the wizarding world. I don't know how many generations they have been rich.
But now, looking at the golden mountain that is more than six meters high and surrounded by more than a dozen people, Luke finally understands what a veteran nobleman is.
This is just a glimpse, and more treasures have to wait for them to enter the treasure house before they can be carefully counted.
Luke suddenly felt a little weak in his legs. At that moment, he understood Wang Duoyu's mood back then.
But fortunately, the demeanor the system had cultivated for him kept him from losing his composure after all.
Professor McGonagall was not a man who had never seen money.On the contrary, as the vice-headmaster, a large part of Professor McGonagall's work is the logistics of Hogwarts.
The food and drink of hundreds of children, the salaries of professors, etc., these are all places where money is used.
But the scene in front of her still shocked her.At this moment, Professor McGonagall suddenly felt that he was really poor... More importantly, as we all know, in a treasure house, money is usually the least valuable thing. The biggest role of this thing is to confuse those little thief.
The money in a sack may not necessarily be as valuable as a small ornament in your pocket.
As for the treasure house in front of her, she was amazed by the money alone, and she didn't dare to think about the value of the treasures in it.
The two of them were stunned for a moment.Then Luke came back to his senses first, and said to Professor McGonagall: "Professor, would you like to come in and take a look?"
Professor McGonagall subconsciously refused. After all, it didn't look like a place for outsiders like her to enter.
But before she could finish her sentence, Luke continued, "I'm serious, Professor, if I didn't lead you today, I wouldn't even be able to touch the door of this treasure house."
What he said was also true. After all, the person who brought him here today can be said to have really brought him to the world of wizards. This kindness is really very important to Luke.
"It's my duty to bring you here, and this person doesn't have to be me."
Professor McGonagall naturally wanted to decline. After the initial shock, Professor McGonagall regained his composure. After all, things like money and treasures don't mean much to the current Professor McGonagall.If she wanted money and enjoyment, as long as she left Hogwarts and took a job elsewhere, the money would keep pouring in.
A top transfiguration master, regardless of status and knowledge, but this combat power is enough for everyone to take the initiative to make friends.
"But today is you, isn't it? This is our fate."
Luke smiled and extended the invitation again: "At the very least, please come in and take a look. Please also protect me. After all, I am also ignorant of this treasure house, so as not to encounter anything dangerous."
Having said all this, Professor McGonagall knew that he could no longer refuse, so he nodded and followed Luke into the treasure house.
Walking into the treasure house, the treasures in it caught the eyes of the two of them again.Whether it is expensive gems, precious magic materials, or rows of magic manuals, their value cannot be measured by money.
Luke wandered around the vault, and then lost his temper a little.
There is no problem with the magic manual, precious and profound.But there is not much benefit in contacting him now.A person who has just learned junior high school physics insists on studying quantum physics. I know the hardships involved in thinking about it.What's more, these are magical knowledge, knowing it too early might even harm me.
There is no problem with magic materials, such as the heart and nerves of fire dragons; the fur and horns of unicorns; the tail feathers, beaks and claws of phoenixes.There are even some parts of oriental beasts and many precious herbs.But with his 3-point Potions talent, I'm afraid these materials can only be used to bribe Snape to make him stop scolding himself.
And unicorn hair?Hagrid has blankets everywhere...
As for gems and antiquities, at the end of the day it's just more money.Luke estimated that he would never be able to spend that Garonne Mountain until he died. After all, the consumption level of the wizarding world is not high.Nothing too exaggerated luxury.
When all the money belonged to him, Luke suddenly felt dull.
He glanced at Professor McGonagall, and found that she was holding a magic manual and reading it carefully.From time to time, he would nod or frown, obviously feeling something.
Luke smiled slightly.
what!It smells so good!
Professor McGonagall looked at the darkness in front of them, and asked a little strangely.
