Chapter 381 Lair (4000 Words, Please Vote for Me)

Xenophilius Lovegood never imagined that there would be such a huge underground vault in Hogwarts Castle.

He was standing on the side of a huge, wide cave, surrounded by many giant stone pillars engraved with complex and gorgeous hollow magic glyphs. The towering supports melted into the ceiling in the darkness.

The magic torch lingering around emits an orange halo. However, in this huge space, this sporadic light is as small as a firefly, and it is impossible to dispel the darkness in the underground cave.

Xenophilius Lovegood could only imagine how vast this place was.

But to Lovegood, it didn't matter how big it was - in the center of the underground cave, there was a dazzling golden light, which was the light reflected by a golden mountain like a mountain.

The unimaginable wealth in the magical world lies there quietly, emitting its own light without any interruption. Looking around along the golden light, the mountains of silver and copper coins spread all the way to the darkness in the distance. middle.

Not only that, the entire underground cave is filled with all kinds of gold and silver jewelry. The silver Sickles and copper Nats can only be pressed at the bottom as embellishments or bedding, and there are others around them. Like a cube, it seems like countless small pieces of colorful paper cut into small pieces are piled together.

Above and around these coins, there are countless unminted gold and gems, as well as exquisitely carved works of art, and on the surrounding walls, Xenophilius Lovegood can vaguely see the locks Armor, helmets, axes, swords, guns, swords and halberds are hung on the wall.

Further away in the dim light, there seemed to be many large urns containing countless treasures...

It is not too much to say that Xenophilius Lovegood forgot to breathe. In his decades of life experience, there are no words to describe and describe the scene in front of him.

He had heard all the rumors boasting about wealth and the treasures of Gringotts, but this brilliance, this temptation, this unparalleled wealth of gold, silver and jewels completely exceeded his imagination!

"Is this...all the treasures in Gringotts?"

As if he had been stagnant for a century, Xenophilius' throat rolled and he spoke hoarsely.

Faced with such a shocking scene, apart from his previous guess in "The Quibbler", in his opinion, there is no other explanation - Hogwarts, or Albus Dun Bullido, the patron saint of the wizarding world, has already secretly controlled the entire Gringotts.

"Gringotts? No, this belongs to Hogwarts..."

Dumbledore smiled, shook his head, and explained unhurriedly.

As the old man answered, his eyes mainly stayed on the white-haired dumpling with an unpredictable expression.

At some point, Dumbledore had pulled out his wand, and his fingers were gently stroking the raised scab on the elder wand.

Although his understanding of magic texts is not as good as Grindelwald's, Dumbledore is still one of the top wizards in the world, and just a little hint is enough for him to understand Elena's reliance.

The explosion spell with extraordinary effects and the effect of stimulating the second sequence of magic words [UR] strengthen one's own power to a certain extent.

A wild and uncontrollable force? What an enviable talent.

If Dumbledore guessed correctly, the milky "Rua" sound was probably the spell that stimulated the magic power of runes.

However, the troublesome scene of "violent dumplings" that Dumbledore had expected did not appear.

For Elena, now that she has understood that she has been tricked by Old Carrot and Old Potato, especially since all her few trump cards have been tricked by Spicy Old Carrot, the wisest thing to do is to silently take it. Make a small notebook and write it down.

The days are long, and these two old guys will soon understand the consequences of offending a chef.

The most important thing is to eat the wing meat that is almost in your mouth first.

After all, since Dumbledore personally brought everyone to the underground vault, it means that from the perspective of the old wizard, he also recognized Elena's idea of ​​​​pulling "The Quibbler" into the group... Of course, there may be part of the reason for this. It also comes from Xenophilius Lovegood’s previous accurate brainstorming results.

"Mr. Lovegood, what appears before you now is the huge wealth obtained after Hogwarts was mortgaged to Gringotts. As you guessed, yes, everything is Under Professor Dumbledore's control."

Compared to Mr. Lovegood, who was in a sluggish state, Elena, who had already met Jinshan once before, was undoubtedly much calmer and explained to the wizard beside her.

But as she spoke, the girl's eyes swept over the Jinshan Mountain in front of her, with a trace of confusion still appearing on her face.

"But...how come there are so many more?"

In her mind, the transaction to Gringotts did not involve any equivalent other than currency, so the gems, gold, crafts, and even armors and weapons filled in this underground cave...

"Grindelwald, it's true! I just knew it was like this!"

At this moment, Xenophilius Lovegood opened his eyes with excitement, picked up a well-made handicraft not far away, and took a closer look at the familiar triangular eye symbol imprinted on it.

"Since the fall of Gellert Grindelwald, in addition to the saints who disappeared overnight, the huge wealth Grindelwald accumulated when he swept most of the magical world has also disappeared along with Nurmengard Castle. In everyone's sight...unexpectedly, they have been at Hogwarts all this time!"

"There is indeed some connection with Gellert Grindelwald, but your statement is not entirely accurate."

Dumbledore shrugged, looked at the two people in front of him, especially Elena, blinked, and explained calmly.

"In fact, this batch of handicrafts, gems, and gold were only transferred to Hogwarts Castle in the past week. Before that, they were indeed sealed in Nurmengard Castle. Of course, those chainmail, Helmets, axes, swords, guns, swords and halberds are all accumulated at Hogwarts over the years."

After hearing Dumbledore's explanation, Elena glanced at the mountain of gold and silver jewelry that seemed to be larger than when she received it, and raised her eyebrows in disbelief - no wonder Old Potato, as the first generation Dark Lord, The reason why I live in such a miserable life is because of the domestic violence decades ago, which resulted in me handing over my family property rights.

However, since it fell into the underground vault of Hogwarts, it can be regarded as her future asset.

After a slight pause, Dumbledore turned his head, looked at Xenophilius Lovegood, and asked softly.

"So, Mr. Lovegood, what are your thoughts now?"

For Albus Dumbledore, the biggest reason that prompted him to agree to Elena's plan was not actually the bright future described by the girl. But as the editor-in-chief of "The Quibbler", Xenophilius Lovegood has accurately understood the movements of him and Elena almost every time in the past month.

This familiar prophetic ability reminded Dumbledore of Cassandra Trelawney, the fortune teller who was once famous in the magical world. Thanks to this layer of blood inheritance, her mysticism His granddaughter, Sybill Trelawney, was still teaching Divination at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Especially before Hogwarts and the wizarding world are likely to undergo earth-shaking changes, Dumbledore will naturally pay special attention to special beings like Xenophilius Lovegood.

And Dumbledore also knew very well that although this young wizard seemed idealistic, he also understood some normal ways of survival.

"Here……"

Facing Dumbledore's azure gaze, Lovegood, who had been immersed in shock before, suddenly woke up. The wizard looked around, and his eyes fell on Luna, who was standing not far from the pile of gold coins, and his face suddenly changed. All white.

Xenophilius Lovegood suddenly realized an extremely terrifying thing. Sometimes knowing too many secrets is not the right thing to do...

Especially, after his only little moon has been involved in this incident.

"Then I won't interrupt the discussion between you two."

Elena raised her eyebrows, glanced at Xenophilius Lovegood who fell into silence, showed an extremely satisfied devilish smile, watched as Dumbledore nodded, and lightly made up the last blow. .

"Professor Dumbledore, I'll leave this to you. I'll go keep Miss Lovegood company."

After looking at the little Luna who was holding the flat-headed owl in a daze and staring at Jinshan in a daze, Elena suddenly felt a little better.

Although she was set up by two old guys, they never imagined that from the first letter, her purpose was never about "The Quibbler" or Xenophilius Lovegood.

Money is cold, and to this extent it is no different from sand and gravel, but wings are different.

As an angel with broken wings, Elena's most important thing is to reassemble the wings scattered in the world.

"Luna, it's our first meeting, and I didn't prepare any gifts."

I saw Elena walking briskly in front of Luna, bending down, grabbing a handful of gold galleons from the ground, stuffing it into the little loli's arms, and waving her hands towards the surroundings quite generously.

"Just treat these Galleons as gifts. Take as much as you can and buy something you like."

As Elena spoke, the little hair on her head swayed proudly. If the entire underground cave was compared to the Demon King's treasure cave, then she was the Demon King entrenched here - this kind of domineering president. The feeling is really great.

At this moment, Luna's erratic voice came to her ears.

"But……"

Luna hesitated for a moment, looking at the enthusiastic girl of the same age in front of her, holding her little chubby chicken and shrinking back timidly.

"I just want to find the real [Crescent-Horned Snork]. Can I buy a [Crescent-Horned Snork] with these gold galleons?"

"Eh?!"

The smile on Elena's face froze... Something seemed wrong?

"Or Agubashjit," Luna hesitated, looking at Elena with her silver-grey eyes, and said seriously, "It is said that the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, raised one."

"Aruba...what's going on?"

Elena blinked and repeated Luna's words with some difficulty.

"It's not Aruba, it's Umgubular Slashkilter."

Luna Lovegood shook her head, corrected Elena's pronunciation, and her tone gradually became less scared than before.

"This was specially raised by Mr. Fudge to fight against the Black Leopard troops of the Gringotts goblins. If you have followed the previous issues of "The Quibbler", you must have heard of those creatures that are covered in fire. They race across the land and burn everything in front of them."

"Uh, well..."

Elena couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. Looking at the little Luna in front of her, she suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

She even began to think about whether she should take advantage of this opportunity to simply let Grindelwald tie up Cornelius Fudge and then feed him a dozen Veritaserum in front of Luna to shatter some unrealistic rumors. Drop - since Dumbledore is really on her side, then the person upstairs who is dealing with the Ministry of Magic at this moment must be the old potato with a dark heart.

But judging from the current situation, the chances of Grindelwald selling her out seem to be higher.

So, if you want to defeat Luna Little Angel, you still have to find a way on your own.

After Elena pondered for a moment, her eyes suddenly lit up - Yes!

"Sorry, I don't know much about this. Can you tell me more about it?"

While speaking, Elena skillfully held Luna's little hand and found a comfortable pile of gold coins to sit down. Her lake-blue eyes were shining brightly and confidently, and she spoke in a seductive tone.

"In exchange, I can tell you many stories about wonderful and lovely magical animals that you have never heard before, such as Pikachu, Eevee, Bulbasaur..."

Isn't it just telling stories? If it were a serious discussion about magical animals that exist in the magical world, Elena might not necessarily be better than Luna Lovegood who has been obsessed with magical animals since she was a child. After all, she is the same. A child who has lived in the magical world since childhood.

However, if she only discusses some fictional magical creatures, the illustrations stored in her mind are enough to write at least a dozen books of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" - you know, even after finishing talking about Pokemon, she will You can also talk about Agumon, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Tastin Dog, Storm Spirit, Hydralisk, Tam...
