Chapter 558 Deep in Gringotts
The older goblin's name was Cosmo. He pretended not to understand what Ada was saying in order to delay the conversation. The three wizards in front of him made Cozmo a little suspicious, especially since the three people traveling with him included both Weasley and a French woman.
The combination of these three people was inexplicably familiar, and Cozmo had to be on guard. Although Gringotts is a relatively independent organization and is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic, whether it is Black's treasury or Lestrange's treasury, after their arrest, their talents stored in Gringotts are still safe. They would not be confiscated by the Ministry of Magic who captured them.
It's just that more trouble is worse than less trouble, and the goblins of Gringotts don't want to get into trouble.
Knowing that the goblin was stalling and trying to identify herself, Ada still pretended that her English was poor, repeated her previous words word for word, and ended with an exclamation commonly used by French people.
Cozmo still looked respectful, but in fact his question was not respectful at all. He asked directly: "With all due respect, how did Miss know these two Mr. Weasleys?"
Without Ada saying a word, the twins, who had their heads turned, answered directly. Fred said angrily: "We are not going to forgive your presumption. The good mood of the day has been ruined by Gringotts."
Fred shouted so loudly that the goblins behind the counter all looked up at him, not even paying attention to the gold coins and gems in their hands that needed to be checked. There were more and more customers in the marble hall, and their attention was attracted by Fred's noise.
George also did not suppress his voice. He shouted loudly: "This has nothing to do with you. You don't have to worry about how we met Margaret. I regret recommending Gringotts to her now!"
The goblin Cozmo realized that these two people were a bit difficult to get along with, but he didn't care about the Weasley twins. Gringotts was a good deal, so Cozmo still asked questions but refused to get to the point.
"Sir, the acquaintance of the three of us is a long story, but I urgently need a vault to keep my gold, and I don't want to waste time telling stories." Ada said in English.
Immediately afterwards, Ada's ring lit up with a fleeting light, and the focus of Cozmo's eyes suddenly became hazy, and it took a while to recover again. At this time, the only thing left in Cozmo's ears was "She needs a moment." treasury".
"Gringotts is happy to serve you." Cozmo said respectfully, and even bowed to the three of them. Although his nose could not touch the ground like a house elf, compared to his previous arrogance, Cozmo The change in attitude can be said to be earth-shaking.
Cozmo, who was affected by the ring, was uncharacteristically patient and asked Ada's needs patiently and meticulously. He no longer had any doubts about Ada's identity. He didn't even ask how much gold the three of them had, and directly led Ada and the three to the other side of the hall. Go to a door.
Several other goblins walked around the counter and wanted to take a closer look, but they were all pushed back by Cosmo.
After passing through the door in the hall, led by Cozmo, Ada, Fred, and George arrived at the thrilling Gringotts Underground Speedster, which was much faster than a roller coaster.
Cozmo clapped his hands, and the cart appeared on the track from far to near. Cosmo sat in the first row of the cart, behind him were Fred and George, and Ada sat in the last row of the cart.
Before Ada could reach out to press down on her hat, the cart started suddenly, and the speed became faster and faster, speeding through the underground tunnel of Gringotts. The underground of Gringotts was dark, with only the oil lamp hanging on the head of the car emitting a faint light, and Ada could not hear anything from the rattling sound of the car.
After quickly turning a sharp corner, the cart screeched to a stop in front of a vault. Cozmo got out of the car first and opened the vault door with the key. This vacant vault was not small, at least bigger than the Weasley's.
This was Cozmo's first recommendation, but Ada and the others didn't even take a look at it, and started muttering things like "it's too small" and "what can you do with such a small space?"
Although Ada's ultimate goal is still unclear, the twins have a tacit understanding of their assists after years of getting along day and night.
Cozmo thought for a while, and then led the three of them through the maze-like underground passage again. The trolley whizzed past, accompanied by the sound of wind and the sound of wheels rubbing against the rails.
Fortunately, in order to look more mature today, Ada pulled her long hair into a bun and tied it behind her head, so her hair did not fly freely. She only had to hold down her hat. That was also part of Ada's disguise. The hat and veil could block part of the inquiring gaze.
The cart stopped on the dark track for the second time. Cozmo's second recommendation was much better than the first, but it still didn't meet Ada's requirements.
After returning to the Ministry of Magic last night, Ada briefly learned about Gringotts. She knew that the deeper the location of the vault was underground, the more valuable and safe it was. The Lestrange family's treasury is deep underground in Gringotts, and it is said that there is a dragon as a guard.
The three picky customers gave Cozmo some trouble. Ada's influence on him still existed, which made him want to recommend the vault to Ada wholeheartedly. It's just that none of the three people liked the recommendation that Cozmo thought was appropriate. He did have a better recommendation, but it would violate the rules.
As Ada learned, there are relatively special vaults deep underground in Gringotts. Those vaults cannot be opened by keys, and the only way to enter is to verify the goblins of Gringotts.
However, the people who own those vaults are either extremely ancient pure-blood families, or they have deep interest connections with Gringotts, and ordinary customers are not even qualified to go there.
A familiar but unfamiliar woman from France, and the Weasley brothers who had just developed with their own abilities, these three people did not meet the above two regulations. Even if they were optimistic about the deepest vault, they could not own it.
As long as Cosmo hesitated, the two villains fought in his heart. After an unknown amount of time, Cozmo finally stopped hesitating. He led the three of them back onto the cart, and the dark corridor made a clicking sound again.
The cart kept turning sharply among the stalactites, speeding deep underground, and finally stopped at a depth that ordinary people could hardly believe.
Cozmo's steps were a little heavy when he walked down the stairs for the third time. He had made great determination to bring Ada and the others here. Cozmo walked in front holding a lantern, and Ada and the other two followed behind him, communicating silently.
As Cozmo moved his steps, the lantern swayed from side to side, and unstable light emitted from the lantern, making the shadow cast on the wall look particularly weird.
Three people and one goblin were walking in the winding corridor. After walking a few steps, they heard something clanking and moving around nearby. Then the dragon's deafening roar resounded through the ground, and the walls continued to bounce off the dragon's roar.
Found it, the deepest underground vault of Gringotts has been found. Now all we need to do is find the location of the dragon and the vault, open the vault door, and take away any old objects that may be there.
