Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

After inviting Anduin and Sirius to take their seats in the reception room, the goblin supervisor enthusiastically served them a tray of dazzling drinks.

Then he asked with a smile, "Mr. Wilson, if you need any help, please just ask. Gringotts will do its best to serve you."

"I want to get something from the vault." Anduin replied politely.

"take something?"

The goblin supervisor frowned in confusion. Is it necessary for this big shot to come in person if he wants to pick up something?

Others may not know it, but this goblin manager knows very well that, let alone Anduin, the entire Silver Flash Trading Company's vault actually doesn't contain much.

The reason why Gringotts regards Silver Flash as its largest customer is that in addition to cooperation in the security system, it mainly focuses on cross-border trade.

The monthly turnover through Gringotts alone amounts to tens of thousands of galleons, and Silver Flash Trading Company supports almost 30% of their business.

So when the goblin supervisor heard Anduin say he wanted to get something, he immediately became suspicious.

Could it be?

The goblin supervisor was startled, and then asked tentatively, "Sir Wilson, are you planning to obtain...isn't it your own treasury?"

"You are very smart." Anduin did not hide his intentions.

You smart ass, where else do you have anything else in your vault besides air?

The goblin supervisor wanted to roll his eyes on the spot, but he restrained himself very rationally, and then he showed a troubled expression.

"Sir Wilson, you should be aware of our Gringotts regulations. Our existence is to protect the safety of our customers' property. Doing this kind of thing is somewhat against the rules."

After hearing the goblin supervisor's tactful refusal, Sirius on the side showed a serious expression. He knew that this would not work at all, and it would be better to sneak in at night.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but give Anduin a stern look. He wanted to see how this guy would end up.

When Anduin saw this, he just smiled slightly and said, "Understood, that's why I informed you in advance. If you can get help from Gringotts, then I will naturally be extremely grateful!"

The supervisor goblin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he seemed to hear the subtext.

"Is this thing very important to you?" the goblin asked tentatively.

"Yes, it's very important." Anduin nodded seriously.

"Do you mind if I know whose vault it is in advance?" The goblin supervisor still asked first.

"Bellatrix Lestrange." Anduin said calmly.

"Bellatrix Strange? Is he the Strange whose whole family was captured in Azkaban?" After hearing this name, the goblin supervisor's tense expression suddenly relaxed.

Quite a few.

"You are very well-informed. You even know about a character like this who has disappeared for more than ten years." Anduin praised the elf indifferently, but at the same time he seemed to be reminding him of something.

So it turns out to be the Strange family that has disappeared for more than ten years?

The goblin manager nodded secretly. Gringotts recorded the information of all customers in great detail. He remembered that all members of this family were imprisoned back then, and there was not even a single living relative outside.

So from a certain point of view, that vault is actually equivalent to an ownerless thing. However, according to Gringotts' regulations, even if the original owner and his heirs cannot be contacted, they must be kept for at least 100 years for the customer. If it is a deep-seated

The vault will be kept for even more years.

After all, in the wizarding world, there are many old monsters with extremely long lifespans. They may disappear from the public view for no apparent reason and then suddenly reappear decades later.

If Gringotts fails to protect the treasury dialogue at that time, it will seriously damage their credibility.

However, the target is to talk to Strange, who is equivalent to being sentenced to death, so there seems to be some room for maneuver.

The goblin manager was overjoyed. It would be great if he could take this opportunity to make a fortune from Anduin.

After all, it's not like Gringotts has never done this kind of thing before. They were able to accumulate so much wealth by making money from 'relics'.

It's just that in the past, they were more cautious in choosing targets, waiting for the owner of the vault to disappear for hundreds of years before taking action.

As for now, the risk may be worth taking!

Even though he had made up his mind, the goblin manager still showed a troubled expression and quietly moved closer to Anduin.

"Sir Wilson, it's not that I don't want to help, but the risk of doing this kind of thing is too great. If the incident comes to light, not only will my position be in danger, Gringotts may also be implicated."

When he heard that the goblin in front of him did not refuse directly, but complained to him about his sufferings, Anduin understood what the other person was thinking.

"I also know that this is very difficult, so in order to compensate you, I can give you this number..."

Anduin spread his right hand and made a five sign, and at the same time persuaded with a smile.

"Of course, I know you may not care about money, so I plan to open a top-level vault in Gringotts in the name of Silver Flash Trading Company, and the performance will be in your name. How about that?"

"Five...five thousand?"

When the goblin supervisor saw Anduin's gesture, his eyes widened with excitement, and he asked specifically to confirm.

Anduin smiled and nodded when he saw this. Rather than risking his reputation by sneaking in and stealing, it would be better to be able to spend money to eliminate disasters.

"good!"

After hearing Anduin admit it personally, the goblin supervisor immediately agreed without thinking.

"You can take a short rest here, and I will make arrangements for you. Of course... on the way down later, don't say you are going to pick up things, just say you are going to visit the vault you just purchased."

"No problem, I will give you my thank you gift as soon as you enter the treasury!" In order to ensure that the goblin acted honestly, Anduin also specially added.

The goblin supervisor almost laughed out loud when he heard this. When he went out, he walked as fast as he could, almost as if he was about to fly.

Sirius, who was next to him, stared at the two people in stunned silence. They completed such a dirty deal in front of him. He didn't fully react until the goblin left the room.

"Still...can it still be like this?" Sirius couldn't help complaining, "Aren't the goblins of Gringotts always known for their integrity?"

"Who told you?" Anduin rolled his eyes, "They are obviously famous for their greed for money. As long as the price paid is enough, these guys can even sell their souls."

"Of course, if you insist on saying that, it's true. Didn't they write it very clearly at the entrance, 'Anyone who dares to come and steal the vault will receive evil retribution.' These goblins faced the thieves

My faith is truly firm.”

"This..." Sirius didn't know what to say for a moment.

After waiting for more than half an hour, when the two of them walked out of the gate of Gringotts, Anduin already had an exquisite and gorgeous gold cup in his hand.

But Sirius still had the confused expression on his face. He really didn't expect that Voldemort's Horcrux could be obtained so easily.

"Don't be in a daze!" Anduin put away the golden cup and put his hand on Sirius's shoulder again, "The next thing is next, but this trip is longer, so be careful not to vomit."

After that, Anduin activated Disapparation, and when they appeared again, they had arrived at the foot of a rugged seaside cliff.

At the bottom of the cliff, you can vaguely see a small and hidden cave.

Somehow, it was obviously summer at this time, but the wind was blowing along the coast, and the temperature in a radius of more than ten miles had inexplicably dropped several degrees.

"Is this...where Voldemort stored another Horcrux?" Sirius and Anduin stood on a scorched rock by the sea, pointing to the cave in the distance and asked loudly.

"Yes!" Anduin nodded, "I don't know if you noticed it, but a lot of banishing spells and confusion spells have been cast here, so you have to wait a moment for me to remove these spells one by one."

After saying that, Anduin dropped Sirius, took out his wand and pointed at the air in front of him. After a while, he turned around again.

"Come on, let's get closer." Then he pulled Sirius and flew towards the cave without even asking him about his wishes.

After getting closer, he discovered that the entrance of the cave was sealed by a thin layer of magic shield. Sirius tried to cast a breaking spell, but there was no reaction at all.

"It seems that the protection here is much tighter than imagined. Can you determine how to open it?" Sirius felt the pressure emanating from the barrier and turned his head to look at Anduin.

"This place has been cast with blood magic. It requires blood. The person who enters must pay a debilitating price before it can be opened. And only one person can enter at a time." Anduin used his senses to interpret the spells on the barrier and said in a calm tone.

"Then let me do it." Sirius stretched out his left hand very consciously, "Use my blood and then cover you in. This will prevent you from being weakened."

"No need to go to such trouble." Anduin smiled and shook his head, "Have you forgotten what I do? We don't have to follow Voldemort's wishes."

After saying that, Anduin took out the Void Spirit Armor. After entering the Void Spirit form, he pressed one hand on the barrier while allowing his magic power to continuously penetrate into it, modifying the rune structure inside.

Since mastering the ethereal form, his efficiency in processing spells and alchemical creations has more than doubled, and it has even allowed him to work on-site.

Sirius on the side saw this strange ghost-like state for the first time. He was stunned for a while and didn't even know what to say.

After a while, Anduin's body slowly turned from weak to solid, and he smiled proudly at Sirius, "Okay, let's go in."

After saying that, Anduin stretched out his wand and pointed toward the entrance of the cave, and soon a passage that could accommodate two people entering and exiting appeared.

"If I'm not mistaken, you just... turned into a ghost?" Following Anduin's footsteps, Sirius couldn't help but ask.

"It's somewhat similar. This is actually a kind of magic that I just discovered recently, which can strengthen my magic control." Anduin did not look back, but simply explained. He estimated that Sirius could not understand those complicated magics.

theory.

Sirius was indeed a little confused when he heard it, but he was quickly attracted by the scene in front of him.

At this time, in front of them was a black shore of a large lake. The lake was extremely wide and boundless as far as the eye could see. Blake could not see the other shore in the distance. The cave they were in was very high, and the top of the cave could not be seen even when looking up.

In the distance, as if in the middle of the lake, there was a hazy, green light, reflected in the dead lake water below.

Except for the green light and the bright light emitted by the two wands, the surroundings were completely filled with darkness that could not be broken away, and the penetrability of these bright lights was not as strong as Sirius expected. The darkness here seemed to be thicker than ordinary

Dense and thicker.

"What the hell is this place? How come there is a lake in the cave and you can't see anything." Sirius couldn't help but shiver at the cold air coming from the lake water.

"Be careful, this place is more dangerous than you think." Through his own perception, Anduin was able to detect a strong aura of black magic on both the surface and the bottom of the lake, but the thick darkness around him was indeed disturbing.

Discomfort.

Thinking of this, Anduin took out a dozen crystal-like objects and threw them into the air.

Soon, these crystals seemed to be floating in mid-air as if being dragged by some kind of force, and at the same time they projected streams of extremely bright but not dazzling white light.

In an instant, the entire lake was illuminated by white light, and the two of them finally saw the surrounding scene clearly.

It turned out that there was a small rocky island in the center of the lake, and a small boat was fixed on the rock wall not far from them.

At the same time, Sirius could see through the lake water that the bottom of the lake was covered with pale corpses. They looked even more terrifying under the strong light.

"It seems that the Horcrux should be in the center of the lake." Sirius looked back, swallowed before saying to Anduin.

"Yeah." Anduin nodded, "Let's go to the boat and have a look."

Then the two of them approached the boat and discovered that the boat was enchanted. It seemed that it could only carry one person across the lake.

Faced with this situation, Sirius did not use his energy as before, but turned his head and looked at Anduin, knowing that the other party might have other methods.

Sure enough, Anduin didn't even say a word, he just calmly transformed into an ethereal form, then nuzzled his lips from the boat, gesturing for Sirius to stand on it.

"This strange magic of yours is quite trouble-free." Sirius also understood Anduin's method at this time. He turned himself into a semi-spiritual state, so that he was no longer a 'human'.

Sure enough, after the two people got on the boat, the boat did decide that they had not violated the rules, and carried them directly to the center of the lake.

When the two of them got closer, they discovered that sitting on the rocky island was a stone basin filled with magic potions. At the bottom of the stone basin, there was a simple locket lying calmly.

The latest first release.
