Chapter 157 The Countess’s Invitation

Diagon Alley was still the same as before, the narrow lane was crowded with people, the shops on both sides were busy, and the sound of bargaining could be heard.

Meka Anders had already taken the Polyjuice Potion and turned into a brown-haired young man. He was wearing a dark robe and a hood, walking among the crowd.

Not long after, he stopped outside Gringotts, looked up at the dragon sculpture on the building, and squinted his eyes.

"The breath of the 'blood curse' came from inside? If so, then the young basilisk is most likely in one of the guests inside, or in the vault under Gringotts?"

Meka was about to walk in.

Suddenly, several goblins dressed as waiters walked out of the door of Gringotts, guarding both sides of the door with abnormal solemnity and seriousness.

Then, an old goblin wearing a pair of glasses and looking quite elegant, who seemed to be a senior executive of Gringotts, came out and took off his hat to greet him:

"Welcome, the honorable Madam Tewasha."

"Tewasha?" Meka was startled, stopped in front of the main door, and looked sideways.

A lady with a dignified temperament appeared behind him.

The black dress could not cover her plump figure.

She wore a silk hat on her head and white silk gloves on her hands. When she walked up the steps, she raised her head, revealing a dazzling appearance, and smiled at Meka who was being driven away, as if apologizing.

A middle-aged man dressed as a gentleman beside her held her hand, and she walked up the steps elegantly.

This scene attracted a lot of attention, and Meka heard the identity of this lady from the voices of the crowd.

"What a rare guest! It's Countess Tevarsha from the Greek magic world. I once met her from a distance at a dinner party. At that time, I was shocked by the knowledge she showed..."

"Bah! What knowledge! You are obviously envious of her appearance and body..."

"Keep your voice down! Do you want to die? She came with guards..."

"What are you afraid of! Count Tevarsha died three months ago. If she didn't have a child, she would have been expelled from the Greek magic world... But I'm curious, why did she come all the way here?"

"Who knows? Maybe the late Count Tevarsha left some assets in Gringotts, and now she's back to get them."

It turned out to be a noble in the Greek magic world, but the Greek magic world actually retains the aristocratic system?

Meka retracted his gaze from the crowd, and when he looked up again, Countess Tevarsha had already walked into Gringotts.

"But what does this have to do with me? Let's go find my young basilisk."

Meka smiled and saw that the goblin waiters guarding the door no longer stopped him, so he also entered Gringotts.

At this time, Countess Tewasha was no longer seen in the lobby of Gringotts, and many goblin staff were also missing, as if they had gone somewhere to discuss business.

Meka looked around, then focused, and with the help of the power of the "bloodline spell", he immediately sensed that the attraction had become much stronger.

"Is it really in the vault underground?"

He lowered his head to look at the carpet on the floor, thought about it, and came to the counter to handle the savings business. The savings amount was one thousand gold galleons, and he asked to deposit it in the vault underground.

This amount of money, for ordinary wizards, is a considerable amount.

But for the goblins here, it can only make it look at the visitor with a little surprise.

"Are you sure you want to deposit one thousand gold galleons?" asked the goblin staff.

Meka nodded: "Yes."

"Which vault do you plan to rent?" The goblin staff explained that the deeper the vault is, the higher the security level and the higher the cost.

"The highest level vault costs 100 gold galleons a year, and the lower level vaults range from 10 gold galleons to 50 gold galleons, so you..."

The goblin staff looked at Meka inquiringly.

I don't know where the attraction comes from... Meka frowned and thought.

But since we have to go into the vault to explore the situation, the deeper we go, the more we can see.

Thinking of this, Meka replied:

"First, I will book a vault with 50 gold galleons per year, but I need to see the security environment there. If it is not appropriate, I will upgrade to the vault with the highest security level."

As soon as these words came out, the goblin staff was surprised again.

One thousand gold galleons, stored in a vault with 50 gold galleons per year?

It will rise to 100 gold galleons?

People are stupid and have a lot of money, right?

The goblin clerk was very polite and kept basic etiquette, not looking at him like a fool.

Meka knew that this was a bit strange, but he didn't care at all.

After all, although he had a lot of money, he would often use it and couldn't save it all.

He casually threw fifty shining gold galleons on the counter.

The goblin clerk took it and counted it, and then glanced at him sideways.

The way he threw the money showed that he was indeed a rich man.

"Please follow me."

The goblin walked out of the counter, led the way, and led Meka into the inner room, through a simple elevator, and into the underground.

When he got here, Meka felt that the attraction from the 'bloodline spell' was even stronger.

"It's inside." He glanced at the dark area in front of him.

He could directly feel that he was getting closer and closer to the young basilisk.

As the two of them walked deeper into the vault, the goblin clerk seemed to see Meka's savings potential and that he was a potential rich man, and kept introducing him to various business advantages of Gringotts.

Meka chatted with him and glanced at the vaults on both sides.

"It's almost there, it's almost there..."

The feeling was almost there.

But at this time, the goblin stopped and turned back to explain to Meka:

"This is the end. If you go further, there will be a higher-level treasury..."

Come on, the money is not enough, okay, I'll pay... Meka started to pay, and was suddenly startled.

A dignified woman in a black dress walked out, playing with a pearl the size of a baby's fist. She was followed by several fairies and a middle-aged man dressed as a gentleman.

At this moment, she was laughing and chatting with the old goblin wearing a monocle who greeted her at the door.

"The beads in Madam's hand are so beautiful, and the patterns on them are so beautiful." The old fairy sighed,

"It seems to be an old antique. It seems that Count Tewasha left you something worth remembering..."

Countess Tewasha smiled: "Maybe, my husband existed in it a long time ago. I have forgotten where this thing came from..."

Suddenly, she stopped because there was a handsome brown-haired young man in front of her, blocking her way, staring at her, his eyes motionless.

"This is..." The middle-aged man dressed as a gentleman looked at Meka with an unhappy expression.

The goblin employee who was following Meka also quickly tugged on his robe.

The old goblin scolded: "Who are you? Why are you so rude..."

"It's okay." Countess Tewasha smiled and stopped the old goblin.

With bright eyes, she looked at Meka and said with a smile: "Young wizard, do you know me?"

I thought I was wrong, this small bead was actually the egg of a basilisk... Meka withdrew his gaze, looked up at the lady with skin as thick as gelatin, and said with a smile:

"Countess, I wish to make a deal with you. I want this bead in your hand."

"Oh?" Countess Tewasha looked at the beads in her hand in surprise, covered her mouth and smiled sweetly:

"I thought you were looking at me, but it seems I'm just being sentimental."

Her smile, coupled with her dignified and beautiful appearance, stunned the fairies on the side, and even Meka couldn't help but look sideways.

"But," Countess Tewasha added,

"This bead was left by my late husband. It cannot be given to anyone casually."

Meka couldn't help but frown.

If you can't trade, you're in trouble.

You still have to fight for it.

He then spoke up again and said sincerely: "This bead is very important to me. I hope you can consider it again. I am willing to pay enough."

But Countess Tewasha still shook her head and seemed unmoved.

It seems that the deal is dead... Just when Meka was feeling disappointed, an invitation letter was suddenly handed to her hand.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw Countess Tewasha's face right in front of him, with a sweet smile and gleaming eyes.

"If you really want it, remember to come when the time comes." She said into Meka's ear.
