"Fluorescent Twinkle!" Elwyn lit up his wand.
After a slight noise, the light at the end of the wand dispelled the surrounding darkness.
In front of them, the ground was scattered with shining gems. Piles of jewelry, necklaces, jewelry, and gold objects were piled up to the top. On both sides of the crypt were two rows of high shelves, which were also filled with magic treasures made of precious metals.
In such a large crypt, there was only a little place to stand at the entrance.
As the door of the vault closed, the air seemed to become thinner and thinner.
Elwyn never thought that when so many gold, silver, and jewelry were gathered in a narrow space, it would produce such a strong sense of oppression.
"Don't touch anything!" He repeated again. "These gold, silver, and jewelry are all enchanted."
"Can't it be undone?" Hermione asked.
"No, this is a compound curse, and part of it is irreversible. Even if we know the spell from Bellatrix, we can't undo it, and it's meaningless. It's impossible for us to undo the spell one by one." Elwyn said, "This crazy woman set it up so that no one can take away the things here."
From the moment these treasures fell into Bellatrix's hands, it seemed that she had no intention of handing them over.
What a lunatic!
Bellatrix's strong possessiveness, Elwyn now really felt this.
"What will happen if we touch something?" Elaine asked curiously. "Is it a curse?"
"It's not that evil. The process of casting a curse is very difficult, and it requires a lot of power. Not all dark wizards can use a curse, but it probably isn't a good magic. We can try." Elwyn pointed his wand at Bellatrix in front of him.
She bent down to touch a ruby on the ground, but she immediately cried out in pain and threw the gem in her hand.
As soon as the gem fell to the ground, it began to split and became many identical rubies.
After a while, the floor was tightly covered by rubies that emerged from all directions.
As for the original one, it was long gone.
"The Split Curse!" Hermione said. "Why did she throw the ruby away? It looked like it hurt?"
"Look at her hand!" Elwyn said. He had Bellatrix stretch out her hand.
Everyone noticed that the hand she used to hold the ruby had been scalded. There was a layer of blisters on it. It was a serious injury.
"What magic is this?"
"It's the Iron Fire Spell. Touching these treasures is like putting your hand into boiling water." Elwyn explained. "But this shouldn't be all. I felt Bellatrix's spirit shaking violently just now. There should be an Unforgivable curse on it."
"You mean the Heart Drilling Curse?" Harry thought of something and asked in disbelief.
"That's right, she really likes this spell, doesn't she? Applying this spell on objects, so that those who touch the objects will suffer cruel torture. This should be her own research and improvement. It's a genius idea, but also very evil. " Elwyn continued. "In this way, everything we touch will become scalding hot, not only on the skin, but also on the spirit level. It's as unbearable as the Heart Drilling Curse, and you can't help but let go of the jewelry in your hand. At the same time, the objects that are touched will quickly replicate themselves. Those replicas are worthless. If you try to steal the treasures, they will continue to replicate endlessly. In the end, the intruder will be crushed to death by the replicated gold, silver, and jewelry."
"So, we can't touch anything!" Harry said. He stood there motionless, carefully looking around. "But if that's the case, how are we going to find the golden cup in such a large pile of treasures? I know, I've seen it in Riddle's memory. It's a small, golden cup with a badger carved on it and two handles … "
"The description is very detailed, Harry. There are enough characteristics." Elwyn said.
"It's quite detailed, but considering the size of the cup, these characteristics are far from enough." Harry said. "The surroundings are so dark, we can't see clearly. Moreover, there are so many cups here. To be honest, I think they all look the same. Right, can't we use the Flying Curse? "
"It's useless. Do you remember the basic introduction of Gringotts that I told you before? All of the vaults are casted with Counter Spells. Phantom Manifestation, Flying Curse, these spells are completely useless. " Elwyn said, causing the light at the tip of his wand to become even brighter. "We can only use the most primitive method, see with our own eyes! Come, the four of us will each be in charge of one area. Pay attention to the gaps between the rocks and the hidden areas. "
Although he said that, upon closer inspection, apart from the treasures, the number of cups in the vault was beyond imagination. There were all kinds of them.
Bellatrix was definitely a cup lover, a cup maniac. How would a normal person place so many cups in their vault?!
Of course, she did this to intentionally hide the Hufflepuff's golden cup that the Lord Voldemort had entrusted to her for safekeeping.
What made one angry was that Elwyn wanted Bellatrix to personally tell him where the Hufflepuff's golden cup was, but he couldn't find that memory. There was only one possibility, and that was to prevent the secret from leaking out, she deleted that memory from her mind.
Like this, Elwyn and the rest could only search for the Hufflepuff's golden cup among the tens of thousands of similar cups.
They carefully turned around, using their wands to point at every possible hiding spot, carefully searching every area. But this way, they couldn't just not touch anything. Very quickly, Elwyn, Harry and Hermione added a few things to the ground.
They gritted their teeth in pain. Only the petite and nimble Elaine didn't touch anything.
The blazing gold emitted a high temperature, the entire vault felt like a furnace.
"Elwyn, I don't see any cups that match the description."
"I don't have any here either. It's so hot, vampires aren't resistant to heat." Elaine stuck out her tongue.
"Bear with it a while more Elaine, it's almost over. I don't have any in my area. Harry, did you find anything there?"
