There is no way.

Before it reached the location of the Parkinson family's vault No. 83, the mine cart had to stop because it would hit the "ground" if it went any further.

But it is obvious that the so-called "ground" at the bottom of this deep pit is actually just a rock platform created by the fairies using magic. Not to mention the remnants of the magic waves that have not yet dissipated, just those who are on the platform

The goblins running back and forth above are enough to explain a lot.

What's more, Maka also saw that there was a hole in the middle of the platform at the bottom of the pit, and many fairies were moving in and out of it carrying a lot of things. Griphook didn't need any further explanation. Just from the previous description,

Maka could guess what else they were going to move.

However, just as Maka followed Griphook and jumped out of the mine cart, the goblins who were moving things stopped and looked at him warily.

"Griphook! How dare you bring the wizard down here? You stupid goblin... Do you want to betray Lord Argot and our goblin clan?"

While one of the goblins pointed at Griphook and complained loudly, many other goblins crowded around Maka and Mr. Parkinson in a noisy manner, many of them with evil eyes.

To be honest, Mr. Parkinson feels panicked now.

Since he is naturally timid, and the goblins have never been "friendly", being surrounded by these dwarfs made him feel numb.

Although many wizards look down on goblins, it must be admitted that the magic of goblins is really no worse than that of modern wizards.

Just when Parkinson was slightly shrinking his neck at the hostile gazes of the goblins, a voice suddenly came from a certain direction outside.

"Who allowed you to be rude to the guests? Get out of the way, don't stand around here and get in the way!"

Hearing this, all the goblins immediately stepped aside and cleared an aisle in an instant. Then, Maka and Parkinson saw a goblin who was slightly taller and stronger than other members of his race suddenly appeared and faced Maka from behind.

Come this way.

"Oh! Isn't this Mr. McLean? Hello, nice to meet you!" The goblin walked up to Maka and first greeted Maka very enthusiastically, but then changed the subject again,

"But to be honest, I would rather talk to you up there than here."

Although he didn't say it very bluntly, the other party's meaning was made very clear. He obviously did not welcome Maka's "unexpected arrival" at all.

However, Maka didn't care at all about the other party's tactful reminder.

"Mr. Argot, right?" He looked down at the goblin president, waved his hand gently and said, "Listen...if you just plan to avoid this disaster, I won't interfere with you. What do you think?

It doesn’t have much to do with me wherever I hide. And I didn’t come down here just to cause trouble for you.”

As he spoke, he pointed to Mr. Parkinson beside him, and then continued:

"You see, this is the current head of the Parkinson family. And this time I want to ask him to find something in his family's vault, that's all. After we go to vault No. 83, what you should do

Continue to do whatever you want, including 'cleaning up' the wealth that has been discontinued, that is also your freedom."

"So," Maka paused for a moment before asking, "can we go there now?"

But in front of him, Argot, the president of Gringotts, stared at him with his neck raised, and said slightly hesitantly:

"Mr. McClain... are you sure you won't interfere in our lives? As far as I know, you and your men are currently quite short of manpower. Even if the Federation comes to support, I'm afraid it won't be enough to ensure victory, right?"

When Maka heard this, she immediately understood what this guy was worried about. Argot was worried that Maka might find them fairies to join in the fight against Herbo.

And war is definitely the one thing that today's goblins are most opposed to.

After all, their kingdom was originally destroyed in the war between wizards, and this time the battle between Maka and Haierbo may be even worse than that time.

"Don't worry!" Maka thought for a while and couldn't help but said calmly, "To be honest, even if I forcefully drag you fairy clan in, it won't have much impact on the current situation. Therefore, I think

You can completely relax and observe the situation again or hide immediately now, it doesn’t matter.”

"Is this so..."

Although Maka's words somewhat meant to look down on the goblin clan, Argot knew it well and knew that Maka was telling the truth.

That ancient dark wizard, the despicable Haierbo, would probably make everyone secretly frightened when they see him. It is not a humiliation to be compared to such an old monster who has not died for thousands of years.

"Okay!" Argot nodded, "Mr. McClain, you are also a world-famous figure. I hope you will not break your promise in the future. Then... please! You can go to Vault No. 83 at any time."

After saying that, he glanced at the dazed goblin Griphook on the other side of Maka, then waved his hand at the surrounding tribesmen, frowned and said sharply:

"It's gone, it's all gone! Keep doing your work and don't waste Mr. MacLean's precious time here!"

After all, Argot still doesn't dare to provoke Maka... I'm kidding, a guy who can fight with the ancient dark wizard for so long and still remain intact, who dares to fight him!

But at this moment, Maka suddenly seemed to think of something, and suddenly spoke again:

"By the way! Mr. Argot, do you have a time turner in your hands?"

"Time turner?"

As the leader of Gringotts, Argot is very aware of the many precious treasures in the world, and he naturally also knows what a time turner is.

But it was a pity that he quickly shook his head and said:

"Perhaps someone has stored the Time Turner in our Gringotts vault, but as long as it doesn't pass through our hands directly, we have no way of knowing. And in our own collection... I'm sure there is none.

.”

After saying this, he turned around and said:

"Mr. Maclean, do you need to find a time turner? Then... why don't you go directly to the Ministry of Magic? As far as I know, there are at least twenty stored in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic."

"Obviously, I've been there."

Maka spread her hands and without saying anything else, she called Mr. Parkinson and Griphook to walk towards the big hole in the middle of the platform.

"Griphook, continue leading the way to Vault 83!"

When Maka left, Argot's eyes once again glanced at the goblin Griphook, but he finally shook his head and ignored the Griphook whose mind was controlled by Maka.

As long as McClain can leave here as soon as possible, anything will be fine! Even being controlled by a clan member is not a big deal.

After a while.

"Mr. Parkinson, have you found it?"

"Uh...sorry, not yet."

Out of the most basic courtesy, Maka only stood at the door of the vault to avoid suspicion. But although others did not go in, their perception of the vault was not interrupted from the beginning to the end.

There are indeed a lot of messy treasures hidden in the vault of the Parkinson family. Even though their family's life is so tight, there are still many valuable collections in the vault.

It seems that if they are willing to sell the collection, at least Pansy's generation will be able to live in peace and stability.

However, Maka did not find anything similar to the magic fluctuations of the time turner, the unique obscurity and strictness of time rules, and he did not sense it at all.

Therefore, unless the Parkinson family placed the time turner in some closed container that can block the escape of magic power, there is no such thing.

"Sure enough...Is Pansy's mother just talking nonsense?"

In fact, Vanessa can't be said to be talking nonsense. I remember that she didn't say anything positive at that time. In the end, she just said that her husband should come to the vault to "look for it."

However, every word she said at that time was obviously intentionally or unintentionally amplifying the possibility of possessing a time turner, and she never denied it once.

"Well," Maka curled her lips and said secretly in her heart, "I hope you can get it in the end, otherwise"

Even with Pansy's little face, Maka's patience is quite limited right now, and he will really get angry with anyone who delays his time.

Just as she was thinking about it, Maka saw Mr. Parkinson finally walking out of the vault and said with regret:

"Mr. MacLean, that...is indeed not the case."

"Then let's go!" Maka waved, "You don't have to stay at the Ministry of Magic anymore. I'll take you home... In addition, I think it is necessary for me to talk to your wife again."

"Uh... Mr. MacLean?" Parkinson glanced at him cautiously, "Your tone... seems a bit scary?"

When Maka heard this, she could only squeeze out a dry smile at the timid middle-aged man and said casually:

"Really? You must be overthinking it!"

After getting into the minecart, Maka urged Mr. Parkinson to get up quickly, and then Griphook pushed the lever again and drove back along the railroad track.

This trip to Gringotts was obviously fruitless. Although it didn't take much time because Maka hurried and walked slowly along the way, it was still a trip in vain.

So now, Maka is a little annoyed.

When passing the previous rock platform, Maka had no intention of stopping. After changing the mine cart, he immediately left quickly.

Argot looked up at his leaving figure and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to see either Herbo or Maca McLean!
