"Be careful, be careful, this fire dragon's temper has become more and more violent over the years. It's too old and can't see clearly, so it's crazy to attack everything around it. If it wasn't for the high price of the Romanian dragon farm, we would've replaced it long ago. " The old fairy said with dissatisfaction. "The price of fire dragons in Europe and America is too high. Those wizards only have eyes for gold. We are communicating with China, and the wizards there are willing to sell us a China Fireball at a lower price."
As he spoke, he took out some small metal tools and distributed them to everyone.
These metal tools could be shaken, and when they were shaken, they made a loud and clear clanking sound, like a small hammer hitting an anvil.
"You know what to do." The old fairy said slowly. "When it hears this sound, it will think of pain and retreat. Then we will go over and stop at the door of the Lestrange family's treasury. I will place my palm on it to open the door. This is the highest level of treasury that I am authorized to open."
"You only need to place your palm on the door?" Elwyn asked.
"Yes, Mr. Lestrange. Is there a problem?"
"There is a small problem, because we still have two people here, so …" Elwyn pointed his wand at him. "Astral Projection."
That fluttering feeling of control once again flowed from his brain to his wand. The old fairy's confused and frightened expression turned into a polite indifference.
"Hermione, Elaine, come out. We won't need him here." Elwyn said as he found two new metal tools and handed them to Hermione and Elaine. "It's going smoother than expected. The fairies are too afraid of Bellatrix and the Death Eaters. Even if they have suspicions, they won't dare to take action."
The timing was just right. Today's operation was so smooth that Elwyn suspected that Lord Voldemort had come to Gringotts to scare the fairies last night.
That was why the fairies were so docile.
"Elwyn, what do you plan to do with them?" Hermione pointed at the old fairy and Bellatrix.
"The Amnesia Curse is enough for the fairy. I can change his memory. As for Bellatrix …"
"You plan to kill her?"
"She deserves it!" Harry said. "She did so many bad things. She should have been killed long ago."
"I know, but we aren't Weisengamo. We don't have the right to judge or kill others. Even at the last moment, the Auror didn't get the authority to take extreme measures against the Death Eaters and Dark Sorcerers. We don't either. " Hermione said hesitantly. "I know this isn't good, but this isn't a battle …"
"So what are you going to do? Are you going to take this woman back and let her go?" Harry asked. He was amused by Hermione.
"I don't know!" Hermione shook her head. "I was just thinking about it …"
Wizards who were too kind or righteous were like this. They stuck to their principles and bottom lines, even if the other party was a heinous criminal.
Some things, once done, might not be wrong, but they would feel guilty.
For example, killing someone in a non-battle, no matter how much the other party deserved to die, was a cruel murder. It was an immoral act.
They couldn't lower their moral standards to the same level as the other party just because they had to fight against the Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters.
However, if they killed the other party in battle, then things would be different. Otherwise, why would they fight against the Lord Voldemort?
"I've thought about it. I think leaving Bellatrix in the Lestrange family's treasury is a good choice. There's no need to dirty our hands by killing her, even if she deserved it. I can cast a spell on her so that she'll remain unconscious until someone wakes her up. When the battle is over, we can tell the Auror that she's here." Elwyn said. "I also want to take a look at treasury number one. You know that treasury, the Slytherin family's treasury."
"You mean, the Slytherin family's treasury?" Elaine asked doubtfully.
"That's right. Many ancient pureblood Sorcerer families have their own treasury in Gringotts. The Slytherin family is no exception. Salazar Slytherin had the first treasury after Gringotts was built." Elwyn continued. "We're not going to steal it. You're now the legal heir to that treasury. Elaine, we have the right to open it."
"But we don't have the key."
"No one does, but there's nothing wrong with trying our luck." Elwyn said as he raised the metal tools in his hands. "Come on, let's go in."
They turned the corner again with the clanging tools. The noise echoed through the stone walls and was magnified many times.
The dragon let out another hoarse roar and retreated. They could see that it was trembling. As it got closer, the terrifying scars on its face became more distinct. It must have been trained to fear the fiery hot sword as soon as it heard the clanging sounds.
Because they were close enough, they could feel the astonishing heat from the dragon's body.
A few seconds later, everyone entered the small room at the end behind the dragon.
The clanging sounds had just stopped when they heard the dragon's angry roar and a wave of heat.
Even with the wall between them, the temperature was still shockingly high.
After passing through a small tunnel, they arrived at a spiral staircase.
The wall was a treasury, with the insignia of the Sorcerer family carved on it.
At the top of the staircase, which was the place closest to the dragon's head, was the entrance to the deepest part of Gringotts.
"The Lestrange family … is here!" Elwyn said as he pointed his wand at the old fairy.
The old fairy moved. He pressed his palm on the wood and the door to the treasury disappeared, revealing a cave. The cavern was crammed from floor to ceiling with gold coins and cups of gold, with silver armour, with the furs of all sorts of strange beasts with spines or drooping wings, with potions in precious bottles, and with the skull of a man still crowned.
The cave was huge. For a Sorcerer family, even with a thousand years of accumulation, this was still a shocking amount of wealth.
The fairy was right, before Sirius's mother passed away, she divided all the treasures of the Blake family equally between her two nieces.
That was why Bellatrix was so rich.
"It's here, where's Hufflepuff's golden goblet?" Harry asked as he prepared to rush in.
"Wait, Harry, there are other spells inside." Elwyn said, "We better be careful, don't touch anything inside, especially the gold. Alright, let's go in together and stand at the entrance, then look for the golden goblet. "
They walked in, and before they could even look around, there was a dull clanging sound of metal behind them.
