Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

"Dear guests, my name is nose ring, and I will take you to your new vault."

So said the house-elf with the rosacea.

And Mike also showed a surprised look on his face when he heard this, and asked:

"Nose ring? Griphook who are you?"

"Griphook? That's my distant cousin." Nose Ring said contemptuously, "A poor and despicable goblin! Do you know him, guest?"

"Well, he was the one who took me to the vault before."

"Then you're so unfortunate, Griphook's driving skills are notoriously poor." Nose Ring patted his chest and said proudly, "I'm the goblin with the best driving skills in the whole Gringotts!"

Franklin and Benjamin had never owned a private treasury before, so they both looked confused when they heard this, and didn't quite understand why the bank employee with a nose ring should be proud of his excellent driving skills.

Mike, on the other hand, recalled the memory of accessing Jin Jialong in the past, and couldn't help but feel nauseated.

He really doesn't understand why Gringotts is such a big monopoly company, why doesn't it do a good job of user experience?

What era is this, the passage to the underground vault is still a backward minecart!

Is it really that hard to learn from the Ministry of Magic to build a magic elevator?

Maybe that's why Muggle society has antitrust laws!

Mike thought so, followed the nose ring through the door in the hall, and came to the mine cart.

At the same time, he also has some expectations for the driving skills of the nose ring.

However, when the nose ring activated the minecart, Mike understood that the task of driving the minecart to slide on the track was not practical at all.

Especially if the minecart tracks are in disrepair.

The minecart began to speed up like a group of wild horses that had taken off the reins. Because the speed was too fast, the connection between the minecart and the track continued to emit bright sparks, and then matched with the screams of Franklin and Benjamin. It looks like a scene from a horror movie!

But screaming screaming, Benjamin and Franklin still haven't forgotten their work this time.

I saw them sitting on the bumpy minecart, holding the handle with one hand, and pressing the other hand firmly on their glasses to prevent them from flying out.

At the same time, they were constantly looking around to make sure that the pair of magic glasses could record as many images as possible.

The small minecart was galloping on the labyrinth-like track, surrounded by narrow passages.

I don't know how long it took, before a few people suddenly became enlightened, the minecart actually came to a huge underground space, and the slightly fresh but sulphur-smelling air slapped on everyone's faces, which made it impossible to read a lot of science fiction novels. Benjamin had some not-so-good associations.

'Diagon Alley has long been rumored that the space under Gringotts has been dug to the center of the earth, and now coupled with this strong sulfur smell, shouldn't the legend be true? ’

Thinking like this, Benjamin unconsciously began to look under the minecart, but he took a deep breath when he just glanced at it.

Fire dragon!

Several fire dragons that looked about the size of ants were lying in the depths of the ground, spitting flames of different colors constantly.

Benjamin hurriedly grabbed his glasses with both hands, trying to carefully record the distribution of fire dragons.

However, the next moment, a burst of icy water poured on his head, pouring him a chill!

"Shet!"

Cursing, Benjamin eagerly wiped his glasses with the dry shirt under his suit.

When the nose ring saw this, he laughed and explained:

"Guest, that's Anti-thief Falls! It washes away all spells and magical disguises, and it's one of our Gringotts defenses!"

"You really should take it down, the experience of this thing is really bad! I don't believe that you have no other measures to identify the real identity of the user!"

Benjamin complained, but kept looking back at the small waterfall, while silently jotting down the words of the nose ring.

In the face of Benjamin's complaint, the nose ring did not respond at all, and continued to concentrate on driving the minecart, as if he wanted to show off his driving skills in front of Mike, the real boss.

Under the nose ring's "superb driving skills", everyone finally came to Mike's original secondary vault with sparks and lightning.

When the minecart stopped on the platform, Benjamin and Franklin were deeply relieved, and at the same time cast sympathetic and admiring glances at Mike. It was hard for them to imagine that they had been riding in the driver whose driving skills were worse than the nose ring. How many crimes did Mike, the minecart that Griphook drive, suffer.

But when they looked at Mike, they found that Mike's appearance was the same as before. When they looked at themselves, the tailored suit on their body was completely soaked, and Benjamin's proud back was also soaked in water. Soggy mess.

Mike forced his smile to take out the key and opened the vault.

At this time, the Golden Galleons in McGill have already piled up with the crazy expansion of the Los Santos Group. It is no wonder that Gringotts would suggest Mike to change the vault.

And when Franklin and Benjamin entered the vault, they were stunned. No one could stand still in front of the golden mountain that reached the ceiling.

Of course, I'm talking about people, not goblins.

The nose ring's expression was quite indifferent. It worked silently and silently, using the magic of the goblins to put all the Jin Galleons into a small bag, and then led everyone back to the mine cart to prepare Go to the most heavily defended area in the entire Gringotts, the first-level vault group!

This vault group specially prepared for the ancient pure-blood family and the top dignitaries is located at the bottom of the entire underground space, that is, on the edge of the fire dragon and the Sphinx breeding place.

When the minecart stopped again, Benjamin and Franklin finally had a chance to observe these monster guards up close.

There are some creatures with advanced intelligence such as Sphinx, and those fire dragons are really miserable.

Huge rusty iron chains penetrated directly into their bodies, imprisoning them firmly on the ground. Due to the lack of sunlight for many years, the scales on their bodies were abnormally white, and there were a lot of scars on them.

However, they are still very fierce.

As soon as they heard the brakes of the minecart, they opened their mouths and flew over.

Seeing this, the nose ring frowned slightly, and calmly took out a string of iron pieces and shook it.

With a very special crisp sound, those originally fierce fire dragons all showed a painful expression and quickly retreated, retracting their corners.

"Oh, these immature beasts!"

The nose ring glanced at the fire dragons with contempt, raised his head, and continued to walk forward with a proud face.

Benjamin, Franklin and the others looked at each other and were shocked.

None of them are fools and have some knowledge of domesticated animals.

The performance of the fire dragons just now is obviously an instinct for the sound of iron sheets. This instinct needs to be trained using very inhuman means. Only in this way can the fire dragons recall the pain when they were tortured when they heard the sound.

Although the space where the first-level vault group is located is extremely large, even larger than the entire second-level and third-level vault group combined, it is obviously not fully utilized.

Under the leadership of the nose ring, Mike and the others walked for nearly ten minutes before arriving at a smooth stone door, and during these ten minutes, they did not see other stone doors!

"Sir, this is your treasury, in addition to the full set of prohibition protection we provide, you can also choose other services, such as engraving the unique badge or imprint of your family or individual on the stone gate, or you can also make We're adding more magic prohibitions, like we can attach triggering copy and fire spells to treasures in your vault, and anyone who touches them illegally will be burned and crushed to death by the constantly copying treasure." The nose ring rubbed his hands with a flattering smile, "Of course, these services require extra charges!"

"Fix it all for me!"

Mike Homer's speech made the whole nose ring goblin happy, it clapped its hands excitedly, and then took out a bill and handed it to Mike.

1500 Gold Galleons.

That's the full cost of what the nose ring says.

I have to say that the price is a bit expensive. The fairies with nose rings are suspected of killing him, but Mike really doesn't care about money now. What he cares about is how to get Gringotts defense system out of the nose ring.

"Name, I can sign. But you can't cut corners for me with all the security measures, understand?"

"Of course! We are Gringotts! Our service is always the best!"

Mike remembered the previous minecart, curled his lips, didn't bother to complain, and continued:

"I'm too lazy to know about these things. My secretary will discuss it with you."

Saying that, Mike handed the entire bill to Benjamin, and he led Franklin to visit the fire dragon and the Sphinx.

Looking at the dense list of forbidden lists on the bill, Benjamin frowned.

After all these years of Gringotts, there is still something, and Benjamin can see the difficulty of it with a cursory glance.

But Mike, who is the president, has given an order, so Benjamin can only face the difficulty.

"Mr. Nose Ring, according to the bill, the door to the vault can only be opened by goblins, right?"

"Yes. Mr. Secretary." The nose ring replied, "All the vault doors here are enchanted with unique magic. If you are not a fairy, even if you hold the key, you cannot open the vault door."

"What if someone tries to force entry?"

"You don't have to worry at all, our gate is extremely strong and will never be forcibly broken open. In addition, the intruder will be sucked into the gate to suffocate the moment they touch the gate. We will open the vault gate every ten years to check, that is To check if there is a body inside."

The nose ring spoke proudly, and when Benjamin heard the words, he noticed the key in his words, and hurriedly flipped through the catalogue on the bill.

After a while, Benjamin laughed.

"Mr. Nose Ring, I saw the ban on the anti-transfiguration spell on the list. So can this ban restrict goblins and house-elves?"

"Of course, without this restriction we wouldn't be using minecarts."

"And what about the door key?"

The smile on the nose ring face suddenly froze.

"When...of course you can!"

"Oh? Is that really true?"

"Of course! We are Gringotts! Do you think a large corporation like ours would not even think of such a thing?"

The nose ring roared in anger, and the smile on Benjamin's face became even brighter.

"Well then, Mr. Nose Ring, let's skip this question and go straight to the next one."

...

Three hours later, Benjamin closed the bill and said to the nose ring with a serious expression:

"Mr. Nose Ring, I think the asking price of 1,500 Galleons is too high given your bank's security measures, and 1,000 Galleons is the correct price."

And the nose ring opposite Benjamin is already haggard at this time. In the past three hours, this hateful secretary in front of him has asked almost every item on the list. But this secretary is completely nitpicking, even with perfect measures, he can pick out deficiencies from it!

This tires out the nose ring!

Now he has no Yuwang who continues to entangle with Benjamin, even if Benjamin is a bit ruthless, it doesn't care at the moment.

Waved his hand, the nose ring said weakly:

"Listen to you, listen to you!"

Hearing this, Benjamin was overjoyed, and hurriedly tore the bill in his hand to pieces, and redrawn a bill of 1,000 Galleons with his nose ring, and then handed the new bill to Mike with pride.

"Oh, did you kill that much?" Mike said to Benjamin in surprise when he looked at the numbers on the bill, "But I'm not short of money. The 500 gold Galleons saved will be used as a bonus for you."

"thank you boss!"

Benjamin hurriedly bowed his thanks, smiling so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.

The nose ring on the side saw that the angry nose was crooked, and it only understood.

Why is the secretary in front of him trying so hard to bargain? His boss is a good money lord, and the money he kills will end up in his pocket.

Immediately, the nose ring felt that he lost 100 million.

Mike happily signed the bill, handed the money to the nose ring and Benjamin on the spot, then turned around and walked towards the minecart.

And Benjamin took out 100 gold coins from the 500 gold Galleons, and secretly stuffed it into a nose ring in a corner that no one could see.

As soon as the heavy bag started, the indignation on the nose ring's face disappeared, and it was replaced by extreme astonishment.

"Mr. Nose Ring, this is a tip for you." Benjamin said with a wink at Nose Ring, "I will often come over to help our boss deposit and store Jin Galleon in the future. Please take care of me in the future."

The nose ring is an old employee of Gringotts. Just weighed it and knew that there were not many gold coins in the bag. After hearing what Benjamin said, a smile instantly appeared on his face. The original disgust and hatred for Benjamin were in this bag. Jin Galleon's attack also turned into genuine joy.

"You're a good boy!" said the nose ring, slapping Benjamin's arm. "Don't worry, leave all these little things to me!"
