Elwyn, Harry, Hermione, Elaine and the old fairy quickly climbed up the spiral staircase in the tunnel. The small cart was parked there.
Not far away, the dragon's head could be seen on the protruding platform. It seemed exceptionally irritable, that huge and dangerous head was shaking violently.
The dragon was roaring, spewing out raging flames.
At this moment, the entire cave suddenly began to tremble, emitting a strange sound.
"What's that sound?" Hermione stopped.
"It's the alarm, they've discovered us!" Elwyn said, his heart sinking.
There were simply too many defensive magics within the Lestrange Clan's treasury. In the next level of the tunnel, the constantly increasing amount of gold and silver jewels were rapidly spreading out from the treasury. With such a situation occurring, it would be too strange if the Gringotts fairies didn't discover an intruder.
In a few minutes, hundreds of fairies and fully-armed Wizards would be rushing down.
"We need to hurry and leave this place, there's no time to go down to the first treasury."
Indeed, thinking about the intricate and complicated tracks in front of the first treasury, Elwyn really doubted that they would have the chance to climb up after sitting on the cart.
In this situation, going to the first treasury instead of escaping was unwise.
They had already obtained the gold chalice, the main objective of this trip to Gringotts had been achieved. There was no need to take the risk of going to the first treasury. But leaving like this, Elwyn was a little unwilling. This was a rare opportunity to infiltrate Gringotts, and even if they escaped, how to escape would be a huge problem.
Following the path back, waiting for them was the fully activated Gringotts tunnel labyrinth and the guards.
Going back like this was simply courting death!
Because of the tremors in the cave, the restless dragon began to roar and spew out raging flames.
At this moment, an inspiration, or perhaps it could be said that a crazy idea surged into Elwyn's mind. He could control the dragon.
That's right, control the dragon!
The Soul Snatch Curse could control living beings. Although there were almost no magicians who could successfully control a magical creature like the dragon, it was still possible in theory. Moreover, Elwyn knew that there were magicians in China who could control dragons.
They used trained fire dragons to guard magic schools or other important places, and they came up with many unique and effective control methods.
Elwyn had read such books before. For example, the wizards in China would burn the powder of certain tea leaves to make the dragons feel happy. Another example was that they would feed the Fire Dragons chilli to make their dragon breath stronger. Another example was that they would whip the Fire Dragons' skin to help them massage and improve their relationship.
Although Elwyn was not clear about these methods of control, he could still use the Soul Snatching Curse to directly control them.
His forte was his magic power, which was far beyond that of ordinary wizards. He was so strong that he could control the magic power of a giant dragon.
Thinking of this, he pointed his wand at the dragon and shouted, "Soul Projection!"
Elwyn increased the magic power of the spell, and a green light flashed and hit the dragon, but it was immediately bounced back.
The giant dragon turned its head towards Elwyn and roared angrily as it spewed out flames.
The rolling heat wave hit them in the face, and Elwyn and the others hurriedly retreated.
The dragon's skin had a very strong magic defense, and it could defend against almost all known magic spells. Only its eyes were its weakness.
"Elwyn, what are you doing? Using the Soul Snatching Curse on the fire dragon? "Hermione asked while panting, looking at him in disbelief.
"I'm trying to control it …"
"You're crazy!" Harry was shocked. "It won't work."
"The Soul Snatching Curse can control the fire dragon. As long as the magic can penetrate its skin, it will work. Maybe I should aim for its eyes, that's the fire dragon's most obvious weakness." Elwyn waited until the flames were a little smaller, and he raised his wand and aimed it at the dragon's eyes. He shouted again, "Soul Projection!"
In the next second, the green spell hit the dragon's gray eyes.
The spell did not bounce back, as if nothing had happened, but in an instant, a tingling feeling surged from Elwyn's brain into the wand.
Success, Elwyn had successfully used the Soul Snatching Curse on the fire dragon.
It was different from when he controlled Bellatrix and the old fairy. He also felt a strong, unfamiliar, and violent thought surging into his mind. Under the stimulation of this thought, his head began to hurt violently. Because of the huge impact, his veins were even throbbing.
The crazy thought that surged into Elwyn's mind disappeared in a flash, and Elwyn felt a huge pressure, almost suffocating him.
But he had succeeded, he had successfully controlled the fire dragon!
If other wizards knew about this, it would definitely cause an uproar. Just look at the expressions of Harry, Hermione, and Elaine.
"How is it, Elwyn? It's impossible to succeed, the fire dragon has strong magic, almost no magic can harm it. " Hermione said, "It's written in the book that it takes tens of wizards to use magic together to harm the dragon. I've never heard of a precedent of using the Soul Snatching Curse to control a fire dragon, even …"
"I did it!" Elwyn said calmly.
"Even in China, where there are legends of dragon control, it's not … What do you mean you did it? You successfully controlled this dragon? Oh my god! "Hermione's mouth opened wide uncontrollably.
Harry and Elaine also looked at Elwyn in disbelief, they had never heard of such a thing.
"Yes, I did it. Hurry up and climb onto its back, we need to hurry and leave this place." Elwyn said.
He jumped down, stepped on the back of the dragon's legs and climbed onto its back.
The dragon did not resist, it did not seem to feel Elwyn, or it was really controlled.
It was not as irritable as before, but controlling a dragon consumed a lot of Elwyn's energy. He resisted the pressure and told the others to hurry up.
The scales on the dragon's back were as hard as steel, Elwyn stretched out an arm, and Hermione pulled him up.
Then, he pulled Elaine up, and Harry climbed up and sat behind them.
"Hold on tight!" Iven leaned forward and pointed his wand at the heavy shackles on the behemoth's legs. "Loosen, loosen!"
The chains that bound the dragon was released, it was free!
With a roar, the dragon stood up, spread its wings, and rose into the air.
Elwyn clamped his knees, and held on tightly to the jagged dragon scales. The dragon roared and flew into the air, flapping its huge wings.
"Elwyn, where are we going?"
"To the bottom, to vault number one." Elwyn shouted, he still did not want to give up on Salazar Slytherin's vault.
He controlled the dragon to change direction, and waved his wand vigorously.
Boom, boom, boom. With a loud noise, Elwyn blasted open the tunnel.
