Latest website: "It will serve as the paynt for hiring you, and also as my sincerity."
In a separate room in Shelter No. 2, Harry was handing the Sword of Gryffindor to the goblin in front of him, who had a complicated look on his face, and gave reasons to convince him to cooperate with his actions. "I think you can see that this Sword of Gryffindor is real."
"Yes, it's the real deal."
There was no joy on the faces of the two goblins. They felt that Harry had no intention of keeping his promise and handing over the Sword of Gryffindor from the beginning.
"I know your concerns. We can make an unbreakable vow. You help us go to the Lestrange vault and get the Hufflepuff Cup hidden inside. I will give you the Sword of Gryffindor as a reward for helping get the cup."
"Hufflepuff's gold cup? Are you sure there's sothing like that in Lestrange's vault?" The two goblins exchanged glances.
There's no way, Harry Potter is too sincere.
Since the other party intends to make an unbreakable vow, it ans that they have never thought of breaking the contract.
only……
"Yes, if you really want to know why we are willing to exchange this sword for the golden cup, I can tell you, but I don't think you would like to know."
"Well, if you don't agree, forget it. We've been sincere enough, don't push your luck." Ron interrupted the goblins' thoughts very appropriately.
"We agreed."
Things went better than Harry expected.
Of course, it is also related to the fact that this is the only chance for the goblins to get back the Sword of Gryffindor in nearly a thousand years. They will not easily give up such a good opportunity. As for why Harry wants the golden cup, it has nothing to do with the goblins.
Especially since Harry Potter was willing to make an unbreakable vow with them, this gave both parties a solid foundation for cooperation without having to worry about being suddenly betrayed.
Harry, who had already decided to make an unbreakable oath with the goblin, naturally thought of the rules that both parties needed to abide by. The whole process did not take long. The three of them used the polyjuice potion to change their disguises and sneaked back to Diagon Alley with Griphook.
Due to the influx of a large number of dark wizards from the UK, Diagon Alley was more lively than expected, with dangerous-looking guys everywhere. The shops and stalls on both sides of the street were filled with all kinds of rare contraband.
Moreover, due to the influx of a large number of dark wizards into Diagon Alley, Gringotts had to hire a large number of security guards, and the screening of wizards entering Gringotts beca more stringent.
But this was not a problem for the three people who had already made a plan.
Harry, hiding under the invisibility cloak, directly used the Imperius Curse to create a small conflict at the door of Gringotts. When it was Hermione and Ron's turn to be checked, he used a spell on the guards who were checking them and easily sneaked into Gringotts.
The next step is even simpler.
They used the Gringotts vault key that they had "borrowed" in advance and boarded the cart heading to the underground vault. Everything went incredibly smoothly.
After the train had been running on the track for a while, Harry put away his invisibility cloak. The goblin driving the train was not at all surprised by Harry's sudden appearance.
Long before waiting for the bus, Harry used the Imperius Curse to control the goblin driving the car. ….
I have to say that the Imperius Curse is really useful.
"This is not the car that goes to the Lestrange vault." Griphook fulfilled his duty and reminded the three people in a low voice.
"We know."
After Hermione used the communication bookmark to send a ssage outside, she whispered to comfort him, "We have prepared a flying broom, and we will need you to lead the way for us later."
"This is not easy. The Lestrange family vault is hidden deep underground, and we have also made so special protections." Griphook found that the three people around him were too well prepared, which made him worry that he was being deceived. Even an unbreakable oath might not be reliable.
"Troll security?" Ron asked jokingly.
"It's not a troll, there's a fire dragon there, but we don't have a way to get past it," Griphook reminded.
"It's okay, it's just a fire dragon, we can always find a solution." Harry was not worried, it was not the first ti he had dealt with those big guys.
"The biggest problem now is to find Lestrange's vault." Hermione was not worried about the dragon either. The Felicity Potion made them very confident.
"No, you don't understand. Even if we find the vault, we can't open the door. We need Bogrod. Only he has the authority. Only when Bogrod puts his hand on the door of the vault can the door of Lestrange's vault be opened. Otherwise, doing so will only cost us our lives."
"We have a way to fix that door."
Harry knew that this was probably one of the main reasons why Albert asked them to master the Fiery Fire Curse.
The devil's flas can even destroy Horcruxes, let alone the door to the goblin's vault.
Harry's words made Griphook even more uneasy. He doubted whether he had done sothing stupid. Judging from the attitudes of Harry and the other two, they were obviously prepared and intended to use extraordinary ans to get the Hufflepuff gold cup.
"When will the goblins discover our invasion?" Hermione asked suddenly.
"As long as you don't do anything stupid, they won't find you that easily. After all, you're just here to get the gold coins, and you haven't done anything over the line yet." Griphook hesitated for a mont and explained to the three people, "However, there are sentinels deep underground, and there are goblins responsible for patrolling. If you don't follow the rules or take a long ti to return, the goblins will definitely notice sothing is wrong. As for how long it will take, it's hard to say, but it usually won't take more than half an hour."
The goblins were confident in their security asures and apparently not worried about any foolish thieves being able to steal from them.
"Very good, we have at least half an hour to find Lestrange's vault." Harry got off the cart, reached out to take the Firebolt thrown by Hermione, and motioned for Griphook to sit on it.
"If possible, we'd better quietly get the gold cup we want, and the goblins quietly take back the sword of Gryffindor, so that no one will be in trouble." Hermione also got on the flying broom and said to Griphook.
For today, Hermione had practiced her flying skills, and now she was able to follow Harry closely without falling behind.
"There's a sentry post ahead, and I'm not sure if there are goblins on guard." Griphook pulled Harry's clothes and reminded him. ….
There was indeed a sentry post ahead, and a goblin with a dagger was dozing off. There were basically no guests deep underground, and those ancient vaults also had many anti-theft asures.
The deeper they went underground, the more suffocating the darkness beca. Fortunately, the three people who had taken the Felixir appeared unusually calm.
Along the way, we passed several checkpoints safely and found the correct passage among the densely packed passages.
"You can go directly into the Lestrange vault from here, but I must remind you again that it will definitely disturb the guards here. I hope you can find a way to get through the dragon, otherwise I'm afraid we will all be burned to death." Griphook pointed to the stone passage below and warned again, "I don't want to beco its food."
"How do you ta a dragon?" Ron asked curiously.
"The goblins have their own way." Griphook didn't intend to reveal, "Anyway, I definitely can't lead you past the dragon now. You need to pay attention to the first corner. The dragon is in the room inside."
They landed on a stone passage, and after getting off the broomstick, they quickened their pace and walked into the passage. Just as Griphook said, at the first corner of the passage, a huge fire dragon blocked their way, forcing them to hide in the passage.
"Its eyes are gone," Griphook gasped, "but that makes it even more ferocious. You'd better find a way through, or we all--"
As they were talking, the fire dragon seed to sll their scent, and a stream of flas rushed towards them, flooding the corner of the passage. If they had just rushed in, they would probably have been engulfed by the flas.
"That's easy. A dragon trapped in chains is nothing more than a sitting duck."
