Cardcaptor at Hogwarts

Chapter 52: Nicolas Flamel's Secret Vault

After returning home to London and seeing the letter from Hogwarts, Adam remembered that he still had new textbooks to buy this year.

Although Adam had almost completed Flourish and Blotts Bookstore before, he couldn't stand the fact that Gilderoy Lockhart had released a new book this year - yes, Adam had bought several of his old works.

After all, although this guy has no other skills except the Forgetting Curse, the experiences he stole are genuine and have certain reference value.

In addition, I have to admit that Lockhart's writing style is also very good, and his ability to write real adventures in a fascinating way is also a good thing. It is also good to read his few works just as novels.

"When you go to Diagon Alley, let's take a look at the vault left by Nico Flamel..."

Thinking of Nico Flamel, Adam couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and put aside the book list from Hogwarts:

"Huh? Is there any other letter?"

When he opened it, he found that it was from Harry. Adam had sent Harry a letter before to confirm which Snowy Owl restaurant Ares was interested in. Harry couldn't reply because the window was sealed with iron bars. , and was later taken to the Weasley house before he could send the letter, but Adam was already in Egypt at that time.

Fortunately, there was nothing important in the letter. I just wrote that I was very happy to receive Adam's letter and explained why there was no reply. In addition, I also wrote a series of very excited exclamations about how magical the wizard family is. .

"Hedwig should be doing well now, you can rest assured."

Adam nodded towards Ares.

"Gu——"

Ares waved his wings, still looking indignant.

After finishing the trip without any trouble, his grandfather, who was a little tired, and his grandmother who was still grieving, Adam came to Diagon Alley alone. After hesitating for a while, he decided to go to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore first. It shouldn't take too long to buy a book.

Then he regretted it.

【Gilderoy Lockhart】

【"Magic Me"】

【Today 12:30-4:30 pm】

Looking at the banner in front of him, Adam paused and silently planned to turn around and head to Gringotts to buy books after the book signing.

"Adam—!"

Adam paused in his steps and turned his head in surprise:

"Cologne?"

Colon said something to the people around him, and then ran all the way to Adam:

"What a coincidence. Are you here to buy new textbooks for the semester too?"

"Yeah, but it looks like there are too many people here. I plan to go shopping elsewhere first and come back after the autograph session is over."

"That's it...I really envy you. Your parents must have never read Lockhart's books, and your grandparents probably won't like Lockhart either..."

Colon sighed:

"My mother likes him very much. I have to wait in line for who knows how long to get Lockhart's autograph from her.\u003e_\u003c..."

"So pathetic?"

"Uh-huh!"

"There's nothing you can do about it. After all, it's your mother. Just wait."

"Uh-huh?!"

Under Cologne's disbelieving gaze, Adam sighed:

"I'm not interested in this kind of woman killer, so I'll leave now and say goodbye!"

After saying that, Adam turned around and ran away, turning a deaf ear to Cologne's cry of blood behind him.

"Take me to Secret Vault No. 4."

The goblin who was immersed in dealing with the things at hand was stunned when he heard Adam's words, and raised his head to look at Adam.

Adam stood in front of the goblin and let him look at him. A gemstone was suspended on the top of the dark staff in his hand, shining brightly.

"……key?"

Although they have never met the other party and there is no information about this person in Gringotts, for non-private secret vaults, Gringotts only recognizes the key and not the person. As long as they can produce the corresponding secret vault key, they will not delve into the details behind it. story.

Adam took out the key and handed it to the goblin, who checked it and returned the key to Adam:

"Please come with me."

Jumping down from the high stool, the goblin's tone was obviously filled with respect. Each single-digit secret vault represented astonishing wealth and status, and even Gringotts did not dare to treat it casually.

Riding Gringotts' mine cart, they passed through magical protections, passed through the anti-thief waterfall, and arrived at an unknown depth underground. Adam and the goblin stopped in front of a gate.

"Please give me the key."

The goblin hung the lantern on the hook beside the door, inserted the key with one hand, and tapped the door with the other hand, twisting the key in his hand from time to time.

Accompanied by the sound of countless machines turning, the door of Secret Vault No. 4 slowly opened towards Adam.

"I'll wait for you at the door."

Returning the key to Adam, the goblin bowed and retreated behind the door to a position where he could not see the situation inside the secret vault.

Adam stepped into the secret vault and looked around.

Indeed, as Nicolas Flamel said, there are no coins in it, and about half of it is his manuscripts, but Nicolas Flamel never said that this secret vault is so big!

Adam picked up one of the single-page manuscripts. One side was written with complex alchemical formulas and diagrams, and the other side used colorful paint to draw the process of Phoenix's nirvana. Moreover, this phoenix seemed very familiar to Adam - the more he looked at it, the more it looked like it. Fox.

Putting down the manuscripts, Adam took a quick inventory. Some of these manuscripts were bound together, and some were just single pages like the manuscript. Specifically, he would wait until the next time he came to move these things away and then sort them out slowly.

And Nicolas Flamel's collection opened Adam's eyes. He glanced at it casually and saw something that looked very familiar to him.

"There's even a Pensieve?"

Touching the stone basin that looked very similar to the one in the principal's office, Adam didn't know whether Nicolas Flamel made it himself or where he got it from.

In addition, there are many things from the Muggle world, such as dresses, armor, swords, golden cups, scepters... These things have no magic power, and perhaps they are collected here because they have some kind of commemorative significance to Nicolas Flamel.

The most in Nicolas Flamel's collection are books, most of which are related to alchemy, and there are all kinds of texts. In addition, there are many books on mysticism. Adam even found several Bibles in the pile of books.

With the idea that the Church might really have something in this world, Adam opened the Bibles, and then embarrassedly found that although he couldn't understand the words on them, he could clearly see that the contents of several Bibles seemed to be different.

In the end, Adam selected a few things to take away today, and the rest would be sorted out slowly later.

The first one is a set of swords and shields made of fairy mithril. Adam thinks they are really cool and suitable for the sword and shield in the Clow Cards, so he spent some time on the spot to cast a sealing magic on this set of swords and shields, so that he can summon them at any time in the future.

What? The Dark Wand can also be directly transformed into a sword with the magic of the sword card, and the shield can be cast without a real shield?

But the gems and patterns on this set of swords and shields are really special! Special! Cool!

The second one is a shorthand feather pen, which is Nicolas Flamel's alchemical creation. It can record and even draw the owner's thoughts and ideas in real time, and it is exactly the same as what the owner thinks, and even the color can be adjusted at will - Nicolas Flamel's manuscript was completed with this shorthand feather pen.

It can perfectly help Adam free his hands when doing homework and do more meaningful things - such as touching Xiao Ke and Spi.

The last one is a book that seems to be the notes of Nicolas Flamel when he was studying ancient scripts that are said to have mysterious powers, including Nordic runes, Egyptian hieroglyphics, Chinese cloud seal characters, etc. Adam thinks he can study it in his spare time. The only problem is that the main body of this notebook is in French, and he still needs to spend some time learning it.
