Chapter 20 No Way... This Is Too Crazy!

On the edge of the black lake, Tom brought a bag of food to feed the two dogs. Elena and Madago Cheese followed Tom.

The two dogs emerged from the lake, shook the water off their bodies, walked over to Tom and began to feast.

Turning around and seeing the petite cheese, Ergou looked at the food in front of him hesitantly, then looked at the cheese, and finally separated a portion and placed it in front of the cheese.

Cheese shook his head, jumped on Ergou's head, and bit Ergou's ear affectionately.

Seeing the two little guys having fun, Tom and Elena also smiled slightly.

Ergou and Cheese have always had a good relationship. Ergou always gives way to Cheese, and Cheese also likes to stick with Ergou. Vijay always takes the trouble to tell Ergou and Cheese: This is not love! Even if you cross species... there will be no results for you!

"Tom, where do you think Vijay is now?" Elena asked, holding her head.

Tom: "Who knows, I've been gone for two or three days, and the school didn't find out. Recently, Ques's golems discovered that Professor Dumbledore and Professor Orvis have been staring at 'Vijay', but They are still one step behind.”

"I'm very curious about how Vijay left school without being discovered by the teacher..."

"Ever heard of the 'Room of Requirement'?" Tom smiled slightly.

Elena nodded: "I heard that there is such a place in the school, a mysterious room that can be transformed into different rooms according to the needs of use. I just don't know where it is specifically. There are rumors that he appeared immediately, There are also rumors that he has a fixed location, but it has been just a rumor for many years... But think about it, if I knew about such a precious place, I would not tell others. Have you found the 'Room of Requirement'?"

"We found Vijay last year, but that guy is a bit strange. He always likes to summon a utility room full of sundries. It's bigger than the auditorium. It's messy and full of dust. I don't know what he wants... ..." Tom said helplessly.

Sometimes Tom really can't figure out Qin Weijie's brain. Although the two of them wish they could wear a pair of underpants, after all, Tom is not the tapeworm in Qin Weijie's belly, let alone guessing that Qin Weijie will be a time traveler. After all, it is only 1940, and time travel The idea is still too far ahead.

"You don't tell me..." Elena looked at Tom with a resentful look.

Tom shrugged: "What's so interesting about a shabby warehouse? Besides, what can you do even if you know it? Summon a study room to study?"

Elena thought about it for a while. The 'Room of Requirement' seems to be quite useless, and it seems to be of little use to ordinary people.

"It seems to make sense... By the way, go on, how did Vijay leave the school? Could it be that there is a secret passage to the outside world in the Room of Requirement that even the school teachers don't know about, and it won't trigger the school Magic around?"

Tom was a little embarrassed, hesitating whether he should tell Elena or not. After all, this was a secret between him and Vijay. Vijay had specifically said before that no one else should know about it.

Seeing Tom's hesitation and embarrassment, Elena still couldn't suppress the fire of gossip in her body, and quickly said: "I swear by magic to make a contract and never reveal any information to others."

"It's like this, didn't we often go to Diagon Alley during the summer vacation last year? Vijay saw two cabinets in the flea market in Diagon Alley, and he bought them for 50 Galleons without saying a word. The seller at the time was dumbfounded, and they only asked for 10 Galleons." Tom explained to Elena.

Elena's face turned red and she said angrily: "Vijay really doesn't know how to live! He gave me 40 Galleons for nothing. That's 40 Galleons. It's enough for a family of three to live for two months! It's so abominable, why? How can it be such a waste..."

"I didn't understand it at first, but Vijay had a request. He asked to use a forgetting spell on the shop owner to erase all his memories of buying the cabinet. For this, it cost him 40 Galleons more."

Elena was even more puzzled: "Why is it like this? What about the two broken cabinets?"

"It's the same sentence. I didn't understand it at first. It wasn't until I watched Vijay use those two cabinets that day that I understood why he was so cautious!" Tom said with a smile: "Those two cabinets are called 'disappearing cabinets', which will make people laugh. The items placed in it disappear and reappear after a while. It is a relatively useless magic item.

However, there is another unknown secret of the 'Vanishing Cabinet', that is, after two disappearing cabinets sign a magical contract with magic, the items in them will be transferred to each other. That is, if an item is placed in one cabinet, it will appear in the other. In the cabinet, this method of transmission is very magical. There is no space or magic fluctuations and it is extremely difficult to detect. "

"You put the Vanishing Cabinet in the 'Room of Requirement'!!? When did it happen? Did you bring it in with a telescopic bag?"

Tom chuckled lightly: "Vijay is more cautious than you think. He may leave clues if he brings it in, so he didn't use the retractable bag at all... We have mirror space and mirror shadows. In the warehouse of the 'Room of Requirement', we specialize There is a mark left on a mirror, which can be entered directly through the mirror space! The disappearing cabinet is put in by the mirror..."

"You guys are really capable of this... this is too cautious! I finally know that Vijay is leaving a way out for himself, an emergency passage... but where did you put the other disappearing cabinet?" Elena asked again.

"The other disappearing cabinet is deep in Diagon Alley. There is an empty commercial street there. It is under Vijay's name. He originally wanted to rent it out, but because the location is not very good, and he and the old Marquis Out of anger, he put the matter on hold for the time being. Vijay found an empty shop and placed the disappearing cabinet in the basement. "

"Sure enough, the most dangerous place is the safest. No one would have thought that Vijay would go to a bustling place like Diagon Alley! You guys are really capable, you are so careful!" Elena shook her head helplessly: "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone about today's conversation!"

While the two were talking, a group of owls flew in the sky, and one of them, a gray owl, flew towards Elena.

"Dino! It seems that today's newspaper has arrived..." Elena said, reaching out and letting the gray owl Dino land on her forearm, and took down today's "Daily Prophet" and "The Times" Newspaper".

"The Times" Elena threw it to Tom casually. She was still not used to newspapers that could not move when looking at pictures.

Tom looked down at The Times and frowned, while Elena slowly opened today's Daily Prophet.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Elena opened the newspaper, she suddenly exclaimed: "Oh my God!? Such a thing could happen?"

Tom looked at Elena: "What's wrong?"

Elena pointed at today's front page with the Daily Prophet, which had a huge headline written on it.

"Gringotts, dozens of vaults were blown up, nine goblin staff were seriously injured and unconscious, and a violent dragon escaped from Gringotts"

"Tom, look...according to reliable information, there was an explosion in the underground vault of Gringotts at 22:43 last night. A mysterious figure attacked Gringotts and injured several goblin staff. Some wizards living nearby reported that they had seen it that night. Until a giant dragon bursts out of Gringotts...

It is reported that the dragon suspected of escaping from Gringotts is an adult Chinese fireball dragon. It was escorted to Gringotts two years ago. It has not yet been tamed and has an extremely violent temperament. The Auror of the Ministry of Magic has intervened in the matter. Regarding the issue of the dragon No life was published, and it was suspected that the fact that the dragon escaped was deliberately erased...

In addition, after this incident, Gringotts responded immediately and promised that not a single Knut was lost from the Gringotts vault in this attack, and all depositors need not worry. "

"Chinese Fireball Dragon?" Tom frowned, thinking back to the first time he went to Gringotts last year when he was still in school: "No way... this is too crazy!"

…

Pierce has been busy lately.

The follow-up investigation of the Gringotts attack fell to him again.

As the Captain of the Operations Division of the Auror Office, Pierce felt desperate. He had not been promoted for two or three years. Originally, he was the most qualified person to be promoted to the Director of the Auror Office.

But in the past two years, he has always been involved in a lot of weird things, especially when he was protecting the young master of the welfare family, he lost track of his target countless times.

And every time he got lost, the young master of the Welfare family would cause a lot of trouble, and Pierce felt like a nanny.

Finally, he was transferred to France to investigate the Somme River corpse incident in France. Unexpectedly, a bigger mistake was made, and a large number of students disappeared near the Somme River.

Later, the cultists of the Eye of Danatus attacked, even the Knights of the Round Table were alarmed. Then the war broke out and he fled back to England with others.

After several years of mistakes and omissions, his career is now gloomy...

Recently, Pierce has also discovered that his superiors always assign some thankless tasks to him, such as the "Gringotts attack" he is currently facing.

Could it be an ordinary person who could attack Gringotts? Grasp? How do you want me to catch him?

If you can't find a clue, it's because you're not doing your job well and you can't catch the clue when you find it, or you're not doing your job well enough and try your best to catch him and die heroically. As a result, people will secretly say that you're not doing your job well.

If you are lucky and catch it, do you think there will be a reward? Innocent! Here's what you should do...

Anyway, it's a thankless job for everyone, and Pierce is completely screwed now. He can just go through the motions, there is no need to embarrass himself.

However, things are fickle and things go counterproductive. At this moment, Leonard Spencer-Moon, the new Minister of the Ministry of Magic, arrived at the scene.

Across the cordon, Leonard frowned as he looked at the bombed treasury, as well as the coins and collectibles scattered on the ground, especially when he saw the burn marks on the walls, and even the stones melted. Nader's face was as dark as water.

"A crazy giant dragon! Good! Very good!" Leonard was shaking with anger: "Who is responsible for the follow-up investigation of this matter?"

Not far away, Pierce, who was pretending to be looking for clues, was stunned and quickly walked forward: "Mr. Minister, I will be responsible for the follow-up investigation..."

"Pierce? Why are you again..." Minister Leonard frowned and said. He originally had something else to say, but at the critical moment Leonard swallowed it down and just cursed in his heart: "Every time I see you, Nothing good will happen to this guy..."

"No matter what method you use, you must find that crazy dragon! I only give you three days to deal with the matter before the dragon causes panic. If there is no result in three days, the fourth Come to my office with your resignation letter this morning!"

Pierce looked confused... Damn it! I'd better go back and submit some resignation reports!
