Chapter 642 Preparations for the Bank Robbery, Someone Has to Do the Job (1/2)
Chapter 642 Preparations for robbing a bank, someone has to do the odd jobs
Shenming Temple.
Harry and Ron found Hermione and Aaron's thought body sitting together reading a book with some restraint.
"Here comes the spoiler." The thought body sighed slightly, "Every time you come to me in such a shy way, there is something, and it's not a small matter."
"Griphook has drawn a map, we can go to Gringotts to find Horcruxes at any time." Harry hesitated, "But if there are only three of us, we are not sure."
"I understand." The thought body took Hermione's arm and looked at the two of them with interest, "I can tell you clearly that I won't let her go."
"Sorry." Hermione said apologetically, "I promised him that I can't go on adventures with you again after being caught by the Death Eaters once."
Hearing this, Harry and Ron felt a little disappointed. The trio seemed to have lost their calm and wise brains without Hermione.
But the relationship between Aaron and Hermione has undergone a qualitative breakthrough. Without his consent, they dare not expect Hermione to rejoin.
"It doesn't matter. We're not here to find you." Harry said embarrassedly.
"Aren't you here to find Hermione? Are you here to find me?"
Harry and Ron nodded in unison, "We're here to find you."
The thought body rolled its eyes, "Half of the Order of the Phoenix is here. It seems that there is no need for you to find me!
Sirius, Alastor, and even George and Fred are willing to accompany you to rob a bank."
"Correction." Harry said stubbornly, "This is not robbing a bank."
"That's right, if you're not caught, it's stealing a bank.
But no matter how noble the excuse is, this behavior is enough to put you in Azkaban."
"Why do you have to find Aaron?" Hermione looked at the two of them in confusion, "It should be There is a reason, right? "
"Gringotts is very well guarded, and we need a strong helper.
You know Aaron's strength. If he is willing to help, we will get twice the result with half the effort."
"Most importantly, Aaron can speak dragon language." Ron added, "Griphook said that Bellatrix's vault is guarded by a dragon.
He can calm the dragon's emotions, which can buy us a lot of time."
"Tsk tsk tsk!" The thought body couldn't help smacking his lips, "It seems that you really can't do without me!"
Harry and Ron smiled bitterly at each other. Although they didn't want to admit it, countless iron facts have proved this point.
"Are you going?" Hermione asked worriedly. If it was her, she would definitely not hesitate, but Aaron couldn't help but worry about him.
"Go."
The thought body raised the corner of his mouth slightly. The Hufflepuff gold cup is worth 1,500 magic points!
He wanted to enjoy the fruits of victory peacefully, as long as Harry and the others could bring back the Horcruxes, but the reliability of these two guys was really worrying.
The plan had already reached the late stage, and it would be bad if he didn't keep an eye on it in case something unexpected happened.
"Great." Harry laughed excitedly, "I'll tell Griphook now."
"Wait." The thought body stopped him and said, "Do Sirius and the others know?"
"Not yet, if they knew, they would definitely not let me take the risk."
"No." Hermione glared at him, "You must greet them in advance, have you forgotten about the Department of Mysteries?"
Harry's face changed slightly. He was worried about Sirius, so he took several classmates into the trap set by Voldemort. If Dumbledore hadn't arrived in time, they would have died long ago.
And he meant a lot to the Order of the Phoenix. If the Order of the Phoenix knew that he had secretly gone to Gringotts, the past would probably repeat itself.
The Order of the Phoenix attacked Gringotts, and he didn't dare to think of that scene.
"I know, I will convince them."
"Aaron, do you want to make some preparations in advance?" Ron asked a little stiffly.
"What preparations?"
"Since we are going to enter Bellatrix's vault, she must go there in person.
And our Transfiguration can't pretend to be her, it's easy to be discovered, so can you please..."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." The thought body interrupted unceremoniously, "Don't even think about it."
"Then let's think of other ways." Harry said angrily, pulling Ron away quickly.
"Alas!" Hermione rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, "It's actually the easiest for you to turn into Bellatrix."
"My Transfiguration can indeed make it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, but I will never turn into a woman." The Thought Body said righteously, "This is the bottom line, it's about a man's dignity."
"A man's dignity?" Hermione looked at him playfully, "You didn't keep it that night!"
"Look at it from another angle, I did keep it, at least I was still very fierce that night, right?"
"Say it again."
Hermione's face and ears were red, and she was embarrassed and speechless for a while.
The thought body shrugged proudly, "Let's get back to the point. Gringotts is known as the safest place in the wizarding world. Although I don't know how much water is mixed in, it is definitely impossible to get in by relying on Transfiguration.
And turning into Bellatrix is definitely a bad idea. I spent a lot of effort to prevent Voldemort from noticing that we were collecting Horcruxes, but someone pretended to be Bellatrix and went to her vault...
Haha! What's the difference between this and confessing without asking?
In fact, complex problems are often very simple. As long as we can enter Gringotts safely, we have enough time to find Bellatrix's vault."
"The key is not to let those goblins find out that someone is going to Bellatrix's vault?" Hermione thought for a while, and after a moment of silence, she stood up, "I'll go tell them that they can't waste time on the wrong plan."
......
The next day, the Shenming Temple meeting room.
"No, I absolutely don't agree." Sirius said firmly, "That's Gringotts. We can't let Harry take risks again. He has suffered enough."
"It's not as serious as you think, Black." Moody persuaded patiently, "There are goblins leading the way, and Aaron will follow. You have to believe in his ability!"
"You also know that goblins are not trustworthy. What if they betray us?
Let me replace Harry, so that even if we fail, we still have hope."
"We know that you care about Harry, and we all care about him.
But the problem is that Harry is the one in the prophecy, and he has the highest probability of finding the Horcrux."
"In short, I don't agree." Sirius said, and then changed the subject, "Unless you take me with you."
Moody's mouth twitched, "This is your purpose! Is it necessary to lay so much groundwork?"
"We support Sirius's opinion." Fred said.
"That's right, we should go together.
That's the Wizard Bank, it's exciting just to think about it."
"You two shut up."
"Why?" Fred and George said dissatisfiedly, "Ron can go, why can't we?"
"Who said he can go? I haven't agreed yet!"
"That's right." Sirius agreed, "I'm much more reliable than him, it's safer for me to go with Harry."
Ron:......
Is this melon eating itself up?
"Quiet."
Aberforth patted the table, and the whole meeting room suddenly fell silent.
He turned his head to look at Aaron who was calmly drinking tea, "What do you think?"
"Sit and watch!"
"No time for you to joke."
"I'm responsible for protecting them, Harry is responsible for finding the Horcruxes, and Griphook is responsible for leading the way. The three of us must go.
But in addition to the three of us, I suggest adding one more person."
"Shouldn't the fewer people going on this kind of operation, the better?" Frank asked puzzled.
"That's true, but I can't do everything by myself, and someone has to do the odd jobs!"
"Odd jobs?" Aberforth murmured, his eyes widened in surprise, "Is it the kind of odd jobs I understand?"
"I think so!" Aaron said embarrassedly.
"Excuse me, what are you talking about?" Sirius asked, "What is odd jobs?"
"You can think of it as an assistant or a servant." Aberforth rolled his eyes at Aaron and said with difficulty: "When going out, I am responsible for carrying bags and transportation, when eating, I am responsible for serving dishes and hygiene, when stealing, I am responsible for keeping the wind out and wading mines, and when killing, I am responsible for moving the body and handling the crime scene."
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Aaron clapped his hands, "You are worthy of being an old man, and your explanation is very accurate."
Everyone looked at each other, it sounded strange, but after careful consideration, it made some sense.
But if you are playing this kind of role, you really have to think about whether to participate in it.
"I can." Sirius said seriously, "I have no problem."
"I, I have no problem either." Ron followed suit and raised his hand.
"Very good, you are worthy of being Harry Potter's only relative and best friend.
Ron, you will go with us tomorrow."
"Wait! Wait!" Sirius said dissatisfiedly, "Shouldn't we vote? The minority obeys the majority, and you just exclude me?"
"Sirius, I think I need to remind you.
You signed a contract, you have to listen to me on this matter."
"But, this..." Sirius' face darkened, "Why can't I?"
"I need an assistant who obeys orders, not an emotional... bastard." Aaron said, glancing at Sirius meaningfully, "Even if this bastard is more capable."
"That's too much!" Harry complained for his godfather.
"Too much? Not at all.
When it comes to you, this guy's emotions will beat his rationality to pieces." Aaron said sarcastically, "He would rather give up the Horcrux during the mission than let you get hurt at all."
Harry was speechless. There was really no way to refute this.
He knew Sirius. In his opinion, Harry Potter was greater than the mission, and the mission was greater than Sirius.
"Okay, that's it."
......
Back in the dormitory, Aaron sat quietly on the sofa alone.
"System, open the personal panel."
[Host: Aaron Gaius]
[Magic power: main body: 12076, primary grand mage; thought body 12076, primary grand mage; total 24152 (high-level grand mage, a rare existence in the magic world)]
[Talent: once in a lifetime (magic power increases by 4 points every day, main body increases by 2 points, thought body increases by 2 points)]
[Items: resurrection potion (can revive any creature that dies within an hour), magic carpet, Captain Jack's compass...]
[Magic points: 2464]
Aaron's eyes were on the last column, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly when he saw the value behind the magic points.
It's almost 2,500 points, so we can look forward to the Lazo Mask and the Bloodstone of Samsara.
But he has to go to Gringotts tomorrow, so he feels it's necessary to improve his skills to deal with emergencies. After all, there's a big difference between stealing a bank and robbing a bank.
One word makes a world of difference, but it's just one accident away.
Then Aaron opened the mall interface, generously spent 1,600 magic points, and got the sleep magic Mist Phantom Naraku and the time magic Time Stop.
Mist Phantom Naraku can make people sleepy inadvertently. If they are not strong enough or not vigilant enough, they will fall asleep. It's not very useful for the strong, but it's not a problem to clear the soldiers.
As for Time Stop, it's a pure magic skill, but how powerful it can be depends on the user's ability.
Ding!
A gold galleon was bounced into the air by him, and it fell down under the action of gravity.
The next moment, Aaron snapped his fingers, stilling the time in the dormitory, and the gold galleon tilted and stopped in the air.
After the time stop was lifted, Garlon continued to flip and landed in his palm.
"Not bad, really good, the thousand magic points are worth it.
However, when it comes to the rules of time, this ability should be regarded as a trump card. It should not be used easily unless it is absolutely necessary. Even if it is used, it must be controlled in moderation."
Aaron muttered to himself, the time stop was indeed abnormal, but the restrictions were the same as he thought.
With his current strength as a high-level great magician, the time range that can be stopped is only slightly larger than Hogwarts, but in addition to the range, the effect of time stop is also affected by the object of the time being stopped.
With hundreds of wizard students, plus a dozen professors who are the weakest magicians, his time magic power to stop Hogwarts will evaporate quickly, and in serious cases, it may be backfired.
"System, counting these 1,600 magic points, my total consumption in the system mall has exceeded 30,000!"
"To be precise, it is 31,777, which has met the system upgrade conditions." The system's voice became more anxious, "Do you want to upgrade?"
"Is it really that exciting?" Aaron said speechlessly.
"The system is also motivated. This system has been waiting for this day for several years."
"Okay! I have nothing to say.
The last upgrade took seven days. How long will it take this time?"
"Seventy-two hours will do."
"Then tell me what new features will be available after the upgrade?"
"The host's attribute panel, mall panel, and task panel will be more gorgeous."
Hearing this, Aaron blinked blankly and sneered: "That's it? What's the difference between that and nothing?"
"The host can also get a chance for targeted upgrades and open the corresponding auxiliary commodity column."
"Haha! Auxiliary commodity column?" Aaron raised his eyebrows playfully, "That means I have one more direction to spend, right!
It's okay if I don't fleece you, but you actually want to fleece me?"
"How can the host think so? If you choose well, this is a rare benefit."
"I believe you this time, start upgrading!"
"Okay host, after three days the host can choose the direction to upgrade himself."
