Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure
Page 722
As soon as the gemstone hit the ground, it began to split and became many identical rubies.
After a while, the floor was covered tightly by rubies emerging from all directions.
As for the original authentic product, it has long since disappeared.
"Splitting Curse!" said Hermione. "Why did she throw the ruby like it hurt?"
"Look at her hand!" Ivan said, and he asked Bellatrix to hold out his hand.
Everyone noticed that the palm of her hand holding the ruby just now had been scalded, with a layer of blisters, and the injury was serious.
"What kind of magic is this?"
"It's the Iron Fire Curse. Touching these treasures is like putting your hand into boiling water." Aiwen explained, "But this should not be comprehensive. I just felt the violent shaking of Bellatrix's spiritual level. , there should be an Unforgivable Curse on it."
"You mean the Cruciatus Curse?" Harry asked incredulously as he thought of something.
"That's right, she really likes this spell, doesn't she? Apply this spell to objects, so that people who touch the objects will be tortured cruelly. This should be an improvement made by her own research. It's a genius." It’s an idea, but it’s also evil at the same time.” Ai Wen continued, “In this way, everything we touch will become hot, not only the skin, but also be tortured from the spiritual level. It's as unbearable as being under the Cruciatus Curse. I can't help but let go of the jewelry in my hand. At the same time, the touched items will quickly replicate themselves. Those replicas are worthless at all. If you continue to steal those treasures in vain , they will be divided and copied indefinitely, and eventually the intruders will be crushed to death or scalded to death by the large number of copied gold, silver and jewels."
"So, don't bump into anything!" said Harry, who stood motionless, looking around cautiously. "But if so, how are we going to find the gold cup from such a pile of treasure? I know, I Seen it in Riddle's memory, it was a small, golden cup with a badger carved on it, with two handles..."
"The description is very detailed, Harry, there are enough features." Ivan said.
"It's pretty detailed, but considering the size of the cup, it's not nearly enough," said Harry. "It's so dark around here, we can't see clearly, and there are so many cups here. Almost. By the way, can't you use the Flying Curse?"
"It's useless. Remember the basic introduction I told you about Gringotts? All the vaults have been cast with counter-curses, and magic like Apparition and Flying Curse doesn't work at all." Aiwen said, let The light at the end of the wand became brighter, "I can only use the most primitive method, see with your eyes! Come on, the four of us are responsible for one area, pay attention to the hidden places and the gaps in the rocks."
Having said that, but upon closer inspection, apart from the treasures, the cups in the treasury are beyond imagination, and there are all kinds of them.
Bellatrix must be a cup lover, a cup maniac, how can a normal person keep so many cups in his vault? !
She did this, of course, to hide the Hufflepuff's golden cup that Voldemort had given her for safekeeping.
What's annoying is that Ivan wants Bellatrix himself to tell him where Hufflepuff's gold cup is, but he can't find that memory at all. There is only one possibility for this situation, and that is to prevent the secret Leaked, she deleted that memory from her head herself.
In this way, Ivan and the others can only look for Hufflepuff's gold cup among tens of thousands of similar cups.
They turned around very carefully, pointed at every possible hiding place with their wands, and searched every place carefully, but in this way, it was impossible not to touch anything. Soon, Ivan, Harry, Hermione Just added something to the ground.
They bared their teeth in pain, only Elaine, who was petite and flexible, didn't touch anything.
The hot gold radiated heat, and the entire vault felt like a furnace.
"Ivan, I don't see a cup that fits the description here."
"I don't have it here either. It's so hot. Vampires are not resistant to heat." Elaine said, sticking out her tongue.
"Hold on a little longer, Elaine, it will be over soon, I don't have any in this area, Harry, have you found anything there?"
"Wait a minute, I seem to see something." The beam of Harry's wand moved across the shields and goblin helmets, the layers of shelves reaching to the ceiling, and as he raised his wand higher and higher, it suddenly hit an object , his heart skipped a beat, his hands trembled, "Look, I found it, it's up there!"
Chapter 1621 Opportunity
Hearing Harry's shout, Ivan, Hermione, and Elaine also pointed their wands there.
The little golden cup, illuminated by beams of light from four directions, was made by the ancient house-elf and once belonged to Helga Hufflepuff, and her descendants passed it down from generation to generation and later to Hepzibah Smith, until she was stolen from her by Tom Riddle and made into a Horcrux.
Eventually, Voldemort gave it to Bellatrix for safekeeping.
"Is that it?"
"I think so, all the features correspond." Ivan said, looking at the golden cup on the shelf.
"Very well, we found the cup, but here comes the question, how can we get it without touching anything?" Harry asked, "Evan, can you fly? It's like the night... Like the Dark Lord?"
"No, that's a very special kind of magic, and normal wizards can't do it." Ivan looked at the piles of gold and silver treasures between himself and the gold cup on the shelf, and it was impossible to pass them directly, and said, "Because of the Iron Fire Curse and the Unforgivable Curse, we can't go directly there, but we can use other objects to touch these things to reach the golden cup. Let me see what I have."
As he said, he rummaged through his cloth bag. Aiwen and Hermione stuffed a lot of things into it before they set off, but they never thought that they would encounter such a situation, and they were not prepared for such a thin and long s things.
Ai Wen rummaged for a long time and found a fire stick.
He put on this thing purely because his parents heard that they might be going camping in the wild. The Masons thought that Aiwen and his classmates were going camping, so they specially prepared a set of camping equipment for him. This is one of them.
The fire stick was long enough, but too thick to fit into the handle ring of the mug.
"Well, that's all. According to the basic spell rules, the contact and collision between objects should not trigger the Splitting Curse. Let's try it." Ai Wen said, trying to touch a silver flagon with a stick. On top, it didn't turn out to be many.
"Ivan, this stick is fine, but isn't it a bit too thick to fit in?"
"You can try to use the Transformation Charm. The Transformation Charm will not change the nature of the object, it should..."
"It's all good, can you hurry up, it's too hot here." Elaine protested dissatisfied, the heat emitted by the enchanted treasure set off a heat wave, and everyone in the cave was sweating like rain.
"Elaine, you and Hermione go out and wait for us first. Be careful, you two, don't get too close to that dragon, and Harry and I will be done soon." Ivan said, he controlled the goblin to open the vault door.
After Hermione and Elaine went out and the vault door closed again, he waved his wand again.
The fire stick in Aiwen's hand began to change, the fire stick became thinner and longer...
He aligned it with the handle ring of the gold cup, and the elongated stick went right through it.
"Very good!" Ivan lifted the stick up carefully, and the gold cup slid down the stick.
It succeeded, but just as the cup left its original position, the gold, silver and jewelry in the entire cave suddenly emitted an astonishing temperature, and the replicas burst out like white-hot corpses in piles, quickly filling the narrow space .
In addition to the Disintegration Curse, Iron Fire Curse and Cruciatus Curse, there are other magics in the vault!
Now, almost all gold is rapidly replicating itself, burning red hot.
Treasures are pouring in from all directions to overwhelm Alvin, Harry, Bellatrix and the old goblin.
Amid the roiling heat and Harry's screams, Ivan raised the stick in his hand to speed up the slide of Hufflepuff's gold cup. At the same time, he swung his wand vigorously, and a magic barrier surrounded the treasure All pushed around.
The splitting speed of the jewels became faster, densely squeezed together outside the barrier.
They collided and squeezed against the walls and the vault door, making an astonishing creaking sound.
The treasure kept duplicating, which quickly made Aiwen's magic useless, and the scorching temperature came from all directions.
Ivan narrowed the range of the magic barrier to protect himself and Harry.
"Take the cup, Harry, let's get out," he yelled, trying to maintain the magical barrier protecting him and Harry.
Harry grabbed the golden cup violently, he felt his flesh was being roasted, and even countless Hufflepuff cups burst out of his fist, but even so, he did not let go, he and Ivan quickly Backwards, the door of the vault opened again, and Ivan, Harry, and the old goblin slid to the outside room together along the expanding scorching gold and silver tide.
"Alvin, Harry, are you two okay?" Hermione yelled, as she and Elaine flocked to more and more treasures.
"Hiss, it's hot, I'm fine, Harry, have you caught the gold cup?" Ivan stood up from the treasure that was still crazily expanding, trying to stand still, he felt as if his whole body was scalded, and the unbearable pain tormented him body and mind.
"In my hand!" said Harry, crawling out of the fiery pile of gold and jewels. "It's still falling apart."
"Give me the gold cup!" Ivan said, coming to Harry's side, raising his wand and hitting the gold cup vigorously.
With a buzzing sound, the trembling Hufflepuff gold cup stopped and did not continue to split.
Ivan turned the golden cup upside down, and at the bottom of the cup, he saw the emblem.
Not surprisingly, it contains information about the home of the house-elves.
Ivan was a little excited, but this is not a good place to check.
"Let's leave here first and move on, to the trolley on the lower floor, to the No. [-] vault." Aiwen carefully put the gold cup into the cloth bag, looked around, "Where is that goblin, we need him .”
"Here he is!" said Elaine, holding up her wand to control the leprechaun to float from inside the jewel.
"Very well, come on..."
"Ewen, that woman is still inside." Hermione said, pointing to the inside of the vault.
"Leave her alone, the vault door is open, she can't die, there is no time to find her out and cast a spell, these gold and silver jewels will continue to split, we can't control it at all, the goblins above will soon find out what's going on here." Ivan said, "Hurry up, before they come down, I want to take a look at Salazar Slytherin's vault."
Gringotts has not discovered the accident here, it can only be said to be a miracle.
As for Bellatrix, Ivan thinks that Voldemort's daughter Delphi should be given a chance to be born. Although she wants to change the time, in any case, in the future that Ivan returns to, That girl helped him once.
Chapter 1622 Controlling the Giant Dragon
Ivan, Harry, Hermione, Elaine, and the old goblin quickly climbed up the spiral staircase in the tunnel, where the trolley stopped.
The giant dragon's head can just be seen on the outside of the protruding platform not far away. It looks very violent, and the huge and dangerous head shakes wildly.
The dragon is roaring, spouting flames.
At this time, the entire cave suddenly began to vibrate slightly, making strange noises.
"What's that noise?" Hermione paused.
"It's the siren, they found us!" Ivan said, his heart sank.
There are too many protective magics in the vault of the Lestrange family. On the lower floor of the tunnel, the ever-increasing gold, silver and jewels are rapidly spreading from the vault. If this happens, the goblins of Gringotts will It would be really strange not to find someone breaking in.
In about a few minutes, hundreds of goblins and wizards in full armor will rush down.
"We must leave here quickly, there is no time to go to the No. [-] vault below."
Indeed, thinking of the intricate track in front of the No. [-] vault, Aiwen doubted whether they would have a chance to get up after they got on the trolley.
It is really unwise to go to Vault No. [-] without running away under the current situation.
They have already won the gold cup, and the main purpose of this trip to Gringotts has been achieved. There is no need to take the risk of going to Vault No. [-], but Ivan is a little bit reluctant to leave like this. This is a rare opportunity to break into Gringotts , and even if he escapes, how to escape is also a big problem.
Back along the way, waiting for them is also the Gringotts tunnel maze and guards with all the defenses open.
Just going back like this is looking for death!
Because of the vibration of the cave, the restless dragon began to roar and spew flames again.
At this time, an inspiration or crazy idea flooded into Ivan's mind, he could control the dragon.
That's right, control the dragon!
The Imperius Curse can control creatures. Although almost no wizard has successfully controlled a magical creature with powerful magic power like a giant dragon, it is theoretically feasible, and Aiwen knows that there are wizards who can control dragons in China.
They use trained fire dragons to guard magic schools or other important places, and have summed up many unique and effective control methods.
Aiwen has read such books before, for example, Chinese wizards will burn some tea powder to make the dragon feel happy; another example, they will feed the fire dragon with pepper, so that the dragon's breath will be more vigorous; and, Whip the skin of dragons with a whip, massage them to enhance their relationship, and more.
Although Aiwen doesn't know these control methods, he can still use the Imperius Curse to directly control them.
And his strength is the magic power far beyond that of ordinary wizards, powerful enough to control the magic power of giant dragons.
Thinking of this, he pointed his wand at the dragon and shouted, "Out of body!"
Aiwen increased the magic power of the spell, and a green light flashed and hit the dragon, but was immediately thrown out again.
The dragon's head turned to Ivan, roaring angrily and spewing out a burst of flame.
The roiling heat wave hit head-on, and Aiwen and the others hurriedly retreated.
The dragon's skin has a strong magical defense against almost all known spells, only the eyes are the weak point.
"Evan, what are you doing? Using the Imperius Curse on the fire dragon?" Hermione asked panting, looking at him in disbelief.
"I'm trying to control it..."
"You're crazy!" Harry said in shock. "It's not going to work."
"The Imperius Curse can control the fire dragon. As long as the magic can penetrate its skin, it will be successful. Maybe I should aim at his eyes, which are the most obvious weakness of the fire dragon." Aiwen waited until the flame was a little smaller, and he took He raised his wand and aimed it into the dragon's eyes, and shouted again, "The soul is out of the body!"
In the next second, a green spell hit the dragon's gray eyes.
The spell was not bounced off, and nothing seemed to happen, but in an instant, a tingling feeling poured from Ivan's brain into the wand.
It succeeded, Aiwen successfully used the Imperius Curse on the fire dragon.
Different from the situation when he controlled Bellatrix and the old goblin just now, he also felt a powerful, strange, violent idea flooding into his mind.Stimulated by this thought, his head ached violently, and because of the huge impact, his blood vessels even jumped up and down.
The crazy thoughts that flooded into Aiwen's mind were fleeting, and Aiwen felt a huge oppression, which made him almost out of breath.
But he did succeed, he managed to control the fire dragon!
If this matter is known to other wizards, it will definitely cause a sensation, just look at the expressions of Harry, Hermione, and Elaine.
"How about it, Aiwen? It's impossible to succeed. The fire dragon has very strong magic power, and almost no magic can cause damage to it." Hermione said, "It's written in the book that dozens of wizards need to use magic on it together. Only then can it cause damage to the dragon, I have never heard of a precedent for using the Imperius Curse to control a fire dragon, even..."
"I succeeded!" Ivan said calmly.
"Even in China, where there is a legend of controlling the dragon, it's not... why did you succeed? You succeeded in controlling this dragon? My God!" Hermione opened her mouth uncontrollably.
Harry and Elaine also looked at Ivan in disbelief, they had never heard of such a thing.
"Yeah, I succeeded, go up, climb on its back, let's hurry up and get out of here." Ivan said.
He jumped down and climbed onto the dragon's back by stepping on the crook of the dragon's hind legs.
