Chapter 173 Deng's Past and Ge's Future
Just when Dumbledore was in a daze, he heard the goblin go on to say:
"Although the item has been taken away, there is nothing lost, but Gringotts is still responsible for the theft of vault 713. If you ask, we are willing to make compensation."
Hearing the goblin's words, Wentworth couldn't help curling his lips subconsciously, thinking to himself:
"What an apology without any sincerity."
Dumbledore replied:
"We'll talk about the compensation later. Elder, please arrange it. We want to go to the treasury to have a look!"
"Of course, this is your right, Button, you take Dumbledore and this young gentleman to the underground vault together."
The goblin on crutches gave instructions to the goblin who was helping him, and finally said to Dumbledore:
"If you still need anything, you can ask Button, and if he can't do it, you can come to me directly!"
Afterwards, Dumbledore and Wentworth walked out led by the goblin button.
Looking back at the old goblin who was still standing there, Wentworth said softly to Dumbledore:
"Principal Dumbledore, that goblin..."
It's just that Wentworth hadn't finished speaking, but Dumbledore quietly put his finger to his lips, signaling Wentworth not to speak.
Later, Wentworth was surprised to find that a line of words appeared out of thin air in front of him, which read:
Keep all questions in mind.
Wentworth saw the line of words left by Dumbledore out of thin air, and in an instant, he felt that this magnificent Gringotts seemed to have a little more mystery.
Soon, under the leadership of Fairy Buttons, Wentworth and Dumbledore arrived at Gringotts vault 713 first. It was not far from the last time Wentworth came here. Once, Hagrid took the Philosopher's Stone from this vault.
I saw Dumbledore carefully observing the No. 713 vault, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he said to the goblin button:
"Excuse me, we still want to go to vault 714."
Seeing the button with a blank face,
With a puzzled expression, Dumbledore pointed to Wentworth beside him and said:
"This is a descendant of their family, I'll accompany him to get something!"
Hearing Dumbledore's introduction, Button had a suddenly realized expression, and said to the two very respectfully:
"Happy to serve you both."
Later, when Wentworth and Dumbledore came to No. 714 vault again, Wentworth used his own blood to open the door of No. 714 vault.
As soon as the door was opened, Wentworth subconsciously looked in the direction of the note he had left before, and then his heart trembled, because the note had been turned over!
Wentworth looked at Dumbledore. Seeing this, Dumbledore even drew out his own wand. This action made the button behind Dumbledore say in surprise:
"What do you want?"
Dumbledore responded very politely:
"It's nothing, it's just that there are some secrets hidden in this vault, so I'm sorry, it's inconvenient for others to see it!"
While talking, Dumbledore pushed Wentworth, and then he also entered vault 714. Finally, with a light wave of Dumbledore's hand, a stream of light like a waterfall came from the top of vault 714. Slowly falling, the buttons were isolated from the outside.
Until all this was done, Dumbledore and Wentworth's gazes were simultaneously placed on the note left by Wentworth.
However, just as Wentworth was about to step forward to open the note, he was stopped by Dumbledore.
I saw Dumbledore pointing at the note with his wand very cautiously, and said:
"Hurry up!"
"The spell stops!"
Seeing that the note remained unresponsive after the two spells, Dumbledore let go of Wentworth's arm and signaled Wentworth to do it.
Seeing Dumbledore's series of actions, Wentworth couldn't help but blushed, thinking that there was a reason why Dumbledore could live so long.
Even Dumbledore had to be so careful, and when he saw the note for the first time, he opened it unpreparedly. If someone really left a curse on it, no matter how many powerful wizards stood behind him , I'm afraid it's too late to save myself.
While reflecting on himself, Wentworth stepped forward and opened the note, only to find that there were a few more letters under his original message, but these letters made up a word that he had long ignored ——The Prophetic Skeleton!
Seeing this, Wentworth was startled, and murmured involuntarily:
"Wrong, from the very beginning, we were wrong!"
At the same time, a memory that has long been buried by Wentworth came to my mind again.
It was the night when I had just crossed over, a group of unknown wizards broke into Wentworth's home, and tortured the original body of Wentworth with the Cruciatus Curse, which gave Su Xinghe the opportunity to cross. Chance.
At that time, what the group of wizards kept asking was the prophecy skeleton!
Although afterwards, Rozier and the others did not give up looking for the trace of the other party, but soon, with the start of Hogwarts, there were assassinations against themselves one after another. Everyone, including Wentworth, I always thought they were the same people.
However, through the message on this note, Wentworth suddenly realized that the group of wizards who broke into his home the night he traveled through was not the same as Christine and the others afterwards. of!
Thinking of this, Wentworth felt a chill all over his body, followed by an unspeakable anger:
"What do you think I am? Tang monk meat? Anyone want to take a bite?!"
At this moment, Dumbledore's voice came from Wentworth's ear:
"Wentworth, what are you thinking about?"
Hearing Dumbledore's voice, Wentworth came back to his senses. Looking at Dumbledore beside him, the chill on Wentworth's body dissipated a little. Wentworth breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: At least for now, I am safe.
Afterwards, Wentworth did not hide it, and directly handed the note in his hand to Dumbledore, but Wentworth did not tell Dumbledore everything he knew, but asked :
"Principal Dumbledore, what is this prophetic skeleton? Why have I never seen it before? There seems to be no skeleton-like items in this vault!"
Hearing Wentworth's inquiry, Dumbledore was silent for a moment, as if recalling something, and then slowly said:
"The Prophecy Skull is a magical item of your grandfather. It has the ability to present the future in front of you!"
Afterwards, Dumbledore paused, and finally said slowly:
"I have a Pensieve and can see into the past, but your grandfather has a prophecy skull and can see into the future!"
