Harry Potter’s Natural Villain

Chapter 64: inventory

Originally, Narcissa's plan was to let Malfoy spend a vacation under her nose, so that she would not have to worry about it.

However, not only Malfoy himself refused to agree to such a proposal, but Lucius also rarely raised objections.

"When will my Lucius Malfoy's son be afraid to go out because of a small accident?" Lucius resolutely objected rarely. Teaching him how to play safe is not teaching him to be a coward. He had already placed high hopes on his son, but he didn't want Draco to be ruined like this.

Narcissa also realized that she was going too far, so she compromised with each other before setting the conditions.

That's what Malfoy is doing now.

The peace is reported once a day, and the message is sent through the domestic owl.

"Everything is going well, please don't worry." The letter basically expresses this meaning every time, but in order to show that he is not very perfunctory, sometimes Malfoy has to find some chapters and quotes to make some brilliant words. The sentence made Narcissa happy.

But Lucius was a little puzzled: Why does his son like to go to the bank? Is it really a soft spot for money? Thinking of it this way, Lucius couldn't help but want to find an excuse to communicate with his son someday, and tell him how good power tastes. The continuation and growth of a family requires not only the accumulation of wealth, but also the support of power.

Of course, fame is also an essential part.

Of course, Malfoy wouldn't know about this, he only knew that now he had to put the owl back in order to ensure that the agreement was fulfilled correctly.

After opening the window and releasing the owl, Malfoy returned to the table and took out another piece of parchment, and slowly wrote on the paper with a pen:

"The opportunity is coming, I hope you can grasp it."

That shameless human wizard has not spoken to him for at least 20 days since meeting him last time. This boy who is more cunning than an adult made Griphook uneasy, and he even began to doubt Did the young master of the Malfoy family just make fun of him, or did he regret it.

"Yes, he must have repented!" Griphook was often caught in such doubts at work, "If I got this sword, I would definitely not let it go easily." But even if it may be a scam, a trap, He can only choose to jump down, he can only choose to believe. Because it was an offer he couldn't refuse.

At this moment, Griphook was passing through a spacious corridor. He was going to deliver a regular document to their branch chief, which was also one of his jobs, but the appearance of that sword kept hovering in his mind, tempting Looking at him, making him absent-minded, he kept his head down thinking about his own thoughts, which made the narrow field of vision caused by his small stature even more useless.

Suddenly he felt as if he had collided with something head-on. He guessed it was a human being. Because of the different size, he took a few steps back, and then sat unsteadily on the marble floor, and the blurry figure in front of him The black shadow just swayed slightly.

"Sorry, Mr. Griphook, it's my fault, I didn't notice you." Malfoy stretched out his hand to pull him up.

Griphook just froze, letting him pull himself up, and the question he wanted to ask seemed to be stuck in his throat. The huge eyeballs just stared straight ahead.

In a daze, Malfoy helped him up and apologized before leaving the corridor on his own.

After recovering, Griphook's eyes cleared up, and he found that there was an extra note in his hand, which should have been stuffed into his hand when Malfoy pulled him up just now.

"The opportunity is coming, I hope you can grasp it."

When Griphook saw the contents of the note, his calm heart began to beat wildly.

"He didn't lie to me!"

But questions also follow, opportunities? Where did the opportunity come from? Even the goblins themselves cannot enter and exit private vaults without sufficient reason.

The question didn't even last five minutes.

Because after he finished sending the documents, he received an order from the branch manager: "Tomorrow, we will strengthen the guarding of the treasury. The ten-year regular inspection will also be advanced to tomorrow, and we will temporarily close tomorrow."

For Griphook, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

The excitement of getting the treasure and the anxiety of betraying the goblin's loyalty kept him awake at night, tossing and turning.

When dawn broke and the first rays of light shone into his cramped room, he knew it was time for him to act.

He has no reason to back down.

He even began to hypnotize himself: "This will only become an accident, I just want to get back the treasure that should have belonged to King Ragnac I." To alleviate his sense of guilt.

When the sky outside Gringotts turned pale, and the dazzling red light that crossed the horizon ahead of time was reflected in people's eyes, most of the goblins had already assembled in the hall.

The ten-year inspection is not only to see if any thieves coveting the treasures are attracted by the door, but also to check whether the collected items are damaged. If it is a potion, it may be that the fresh-keeping magic attached to it has faded and caused deterioration. , weapons may also rust, and the general magic effect is about ten years, so all goblins have set a rule of checking once every ten years.

Even ahead of schedule, these tasks still need to be done.

The old goblin and the young goblin walked the only way to the underground vault together. This is to avoid the inheritance of the generation, and the test is done once every ten years. It is necessary for the old goblin to teach the young goblin how to test.

The goblins got on the trolleys, and the trolleys sprinted along the labyrinth-like corridors after they started. The sound of whistling convective wind and the rattling of the wheels could be heard endlessly. The passing rock walls and stalactites formed branch roads one by one. In the meantime, turning around, there is even an illusion of being thrown out when the arc is large.

It was another sharp turn, and a waterfall poured down, lying on the only path of the track. The goblins flew past, and their bodies were wetted by splashes of water.

Nothing happened.

This is the anti-thief waterfall, which can wash away all the spells and all the magic disguises. Since there are unique ways to deal with external defense problems, sometimes the "house thief" needs to be guarded against, dare to hit Gringotts. People don't care much about using a few Imperius Curses, and both the compound decoction and the Imperius Curse will lose their effectiveness under this waterfall, and there is nowhere to hide.

This can also prevent impostors and manipulative goblins, or original wealth holders.

As for the current house thief, it seems that he is willing.

And this magic is not yet able to reach the level of seeing through people's hearts.
