"Do you have money?"
Professor McGonagall suddenly thought of a very crucial point. After all, although the clothes Luke is currently wearing are exquisite, it is obvious that they are not close to the body. They should be clothes left by adults.
Luke nodded and said, "There is money, but you need to go to Gringotts to get it."
As he said that, he took out the coat of arms in his hand: "You have to use this. This, that is our family's treasury. Apart from us, only the goblins of Gringotts know about it."
Professor McGonagall nodded, knowing that if the money had not been hidden from the other Gaunt family, there would probably be no money left at all. Whether it was the extravagance in their heyday or the abjection in their last years, they would be full of desire for money. As for the life and death of their fellow clan members, who would care?
Professor McGonagall has come into contact with many pure-blood wizards, whether they are so-called big families or small families, and some of their arrogance and viciousness are almost evident on their faces. The number of these fallen pure-blood wizards is quite large. Although it is undeniable that there are many people among purebloods who are very friendly. For example, the Weasley family, or the Shacklebolt family, etc.
But among all these nobles, the child in front of him was the one who made Professor McGonagall feel the most like he had met a noble.
'I wonder if other families have such hidden people. '
This idea flashed into Professor McGonagall's mind. But she quickly denied it. If there are really such outstanding talents, wouldn't it be a good idea to directly recruit them to consolidate our own power? The current situation of pure-blood families is not very good. Voldemort's defeat has caused many pure-blood families to be excluded from the center of power. Some are even on the verge of destruction. What are you trying to do by hiding someone at this time?
After regaining consciousness, Professor McGonagall said to Luke: "Follow me, let's go to Gringotts first."
So Luke followed Professor McGonagall's footsteps and walked towards a tall white building.
It wasn't too far away, and they arrived at the door after walking for a while. In front of the bronze gate, two elf guards wearing scarlet and gold uniforms saluted the two and opened the gate for them. The attitude was quite respectful.
Then what came into view was another silver door with some words engraved on it. Luke glanced briefly and realized that it was actually a warning from goblins to those who wanted to steal.
Luke was not interested in this. This kind of warning had no effect at all. Voldemort commanded Professor Quirrell to rob it, and later Harry and the others even demolished the place...
So these threats really have no deterrent effect.
Professor McGonagall was very familiar with this place, so he walked straight through the silver door and came to the hall without stopping. Luke quickly followed.
There were goblins counting money on both sides of the hall. Luke didn't care and walked straight towards the highest seat in the middle.
A goblin with thinning hair and half-moon glasses was sitting there, and he saw Professor McGonagall and Luke from a distance. This made him feel a little helpless. After all, he had just sent away a gamekeeper from Hogwarts, and now he had a real professor who knew Hogwarts. More importantly, he knows very well that students who can be guided by professors are often not simple.
So this person is most likely not here to exchange pounds for galleons.
"Luke Gunter wants to inherit the treasury left by Robert Gunter." Luke stepped forward and calmly showed the crest in his hand to the goblin.
The goblin gasped. He thought this little guy would be difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. Damn it, he's the heir to the Gaunt family in the dark. He thought that after so many years, all members of that family were dead.
Although he quickly returned to normal, his reaction could not be hidden from Professor McGonagall. Judging from this guy's reaction, I'm afraid the money in that vault should be an unimaginable amount.
"Please wait."
As he spoke, he got down from the high chair and entered a room.
Another goblin immediately stepped forward, saluted the two of them, and made a leading gesture. Luke and Professor McGonagall followed another goblin into a room. The room is exquisite and elegant, obviously not for ordinary guests.
After a while, the president returned to Luke holding a small box.
Opening the box, there was a snake carved from a whole piece of dark green gemstone. The red gem is embedded in the socket of the left eye, but there is only one eye. Nobuko vomited it out, but her mouth was tightly closed.
"Please put a drop of blood into your eyes."
The goblin's tone was flat and stern. There is a huge interest behind this. Although he has the verification from Hogwarts, he still has to take this step after all. Firstly, the process is necessary, and secondly, he is really unwilling to do so.
Those treasures, if no one comes to claim them in another hundred years, they can be classified as ownerless and become the property of Gringotts...
Without any hesitation, Luke immediately took out his knife from his waist and cut his finger. A drop of blood overflowed from the wound and landed on the snake's right eye socket.
But the snake didn't seem to react.
There was light in the goblin's eyes. Professor McGonagall also frowned. Luke, however, was already taking his time. Sure enough, after about thirteen seconds, the blood condensed into a gem in the socket of the right eye, and the entire snake changed from dark green to emerald green. The mouth opened, revealing a key.
Luke calmly took out the key, smiled and said to the goblin who had an obviously disappointed look on his face: "Please lead the way, I need to withdraw some money to buy some things. As you can see, I am now in such a state of desolation that I don't even have a suitable piece of clothing." No clothes.”
The goblin's professionalism was still very good, so he nodded and his expression returned to normal: "Please come with me."
Then he led the two of them towards the location of the vault.
After getting on the pulley, I saw a huge cave and a series of treasuries on the edge of the cave.
This is where almost the entire British wizarding world has its deposits. Regardless of how much money anyone can get if they loot this place, it is almost inevitable that they will be besieged by almost all British wizards.
The pulley didn't go far before it slid down a branch. At the end, there was no treasure house door, instead there was a dark cave. Professor McGonagall was actually quite surprised. Luke actually had no intention of leaving her behind when it came to this kind of thing. She didn't think Luke would ignore this. This can be clearly seen from the worried face on his face now.
Luke was also negligent. On his way here, he suddenly remembered that today seemed to be July 31st... If he remembered correctly, today was also the time when Harry and the others came to Gringotts. In other words, it was also the day that Gringotts was attacked. It's really unfortunate that grandma is such a badass. So of course he didn't dare to put aside his "thigh" and come here to have a wave by himself.
Furthermore, he was quite confident in Professor McGonagall's integrity. Unless the legacy left by the Gaunt family was extremely large, he believed that Professor McGonagall, who had seen the world, would never be moved!
