"Shouldn't there be a fire dragon guarding us?"
Professor McGonagall looked at the darkness in front of them and asked strangely.
According to what she knew, there would be fire dragons guarding the truly valuable vaults in Gringotts. As for the inheritance of the Gaunt family, if you think about it with your toes, you will know that it will definitely not be an ordinary treasury. More importantly... the location here is really too far forward, and everyone knows that the riding experience of Gringotts' pulley is quite poor.
But every time we come to withdraw money, we still inevitably have to go through this process. But this time, their ride on the trolley didn't even last half a minute. Riding the pulley seemed like a superfluous move. It feels like people are deliberately ignoring this place. If it hadn't been for this encounter, Professor McGonagall would never have thought that there would be a treasury in this location.
The goblin turned his head and glanced at Professor McGonagall. The look in his eyes wasn't evil, but it couldn't be called friendly either.
"It's not necessary. These treasure houses here don't need our protection. If the person who tries to open the treasure house door is not a member of this family, then they can't come out of the treasure house alive."
The goblin answered casually, after all, there wasn't much he could say.
Professor McGonagall naturally noticed something was wrong. The treasure house of Gringotts is actually left to the hands of those who store the treasures. There must be some unknown transaction behind this.
Luke didn't really care. There was absolutely nothing wrong with his bloodline, but to be honest, he didn't have any confidence in the amount of money here.
Who knows how much money previous generations took out of it and how much was left to him.
Think of the exquisite furniture and elegant artwork in your own log cabin. Luke was a little pessimistic, hoping that he still had enough money left to buy some basic supplies. As for the means to make money, he certainly wouldn't be without it.
The three of them had their own thoughts and moved towards the depths of the cave step by step.
Shao Qing, after turning countless corners, a light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. His eyes that had adapted to the darkness felt a stinging sensation for a moment. They could only vaguely see the flash of the door, but soon the light adaptation was over and they finally saw We came to the full view of the treasure house gate in front of us.
It seems to be six or seven meters high, and the carvings on it are gorgeous and noble. Carved on it are the heads of many famous ancestors of the Gaunt family, including Slytherin, but for some reason, all of these heads have their eyes closed. In the middle of the door, there is a conspicuous keyhole. Surrounding the keyhole is an ouroboros carved from jade.
To be honest, both Luke and Professor McGonagall were surprised when they saw the gate. Let’s not talk about what is in the treasure house, but the door of this treasure house is valuable enough just from the perspective of material. Luke suddenly felt quite confident about the deposits in the treasury.
The goblin stopped and said to Luke: "Please use the key in your hand to open the door."
After saying that, he turned around and left without any hesitation. First of all, this was their promise back then. Before the vault belonged to them, they would not approach the vault when it was open. Secondly, in his memory, the Gaunt family's treasure house should not have been opened for hundreds of years. After all, the Gunter family is very rich. Even if you exclude the wealth in the treasure house, there is still a lot of money.
Unlike the outside world, the goblins knew about the separation of the Gaunt family from the beginning. As for the reason, they don't know and they don't care. They only knew that if the descendant of the Gunter family in front of them did not come, then this huge sum of money should belong to them soon.
So he really didn't want to be stimulated by this.
When Professor McGonagall saw the goblin leaving, Luke walked to the door with the key and quickly asked: "Luke, do you need me to step aside?"
Luke looked back at Professor McGonagall, saw the sincerity on the professor's face, and then shook his head decisively: "There is no need, Professor, I believe you."
Then without waiting for the professor to respond, he quickly inserted the key into the keyhole and turned it.
The Ouroboros representing eternal rebirth around the keyhole began to rotate. As it rotated, the eyes of the ancestors' heads slowly opened, revealing the huge emeralds under their eyelids. The next moment, all the 'eyes' were fixed on Luke standing in front of the door below, and projected a cold green light.
Professor McGonagall subconsciously took two steps back when she saw the green light. Her intuition told her that if she got stuck with these lights, she might not end well.
But the next moment, she stopped retreating, and even took a step forward, approaching the edge of the green light, and stared at Luke closely to see if anything unusual happened to him. His right hand had already grasped the wand, as if he was ready to save Luke at any moment.
After all, this thing hasn’t been used in I don’t know how many years. Who knew this thing wasn't easy to use yet.
Luke just felt like he was back home. When the cold green light shone on him, it gave him a very warm feeling, just like the gentle caress and earnest instructions of those kind elders, full of concern.
'It's a pity it's green...'
After all, Luke couldn't help but mutter in his mind.
The green light did not last long and disappeared completely after a moment. The door slowly opened to reveal what was inside.
"Hiss————"×2
Luke and Professor McGonagall gasped when they saw the scene in the treasure house.
Luke remembers the shock and envy on his face when he saw Harry's little golden mountain in the movie. At that time, I felt that Harry was really a rich second generation!
Of course, I later learned that the Potter family can be said to have a monopoly on the shampoo business in the wizarding world, and they have been rich for generations.
But now, looking at the Jinshan Mountain in front of him, which is more than six meters high and hugged by more than a dozen people, Luke finally understands what an established noble is.
This is just the first glimpse. More treasures will have to wait until they enter the treasure house to carefully count them.
Luke's legs suddenly felt a little weak. At that moment, he understood Wang Duoyu's mood back then.
But fortunately, the demeanor the system cultivated in him kept him from losing his composure after all.
Professor McGonagall is not a person who has never seen money. On the contrary, as the vice-principal, a large part of Professor McGonagall's work is the logistics of Hogwarts.
Food and drink for hundreds of children, salaries of professors, etc., these are all areas where money is spent.
But the scene before her still shocked her. At this moment, Professor McGonagall suddenly felt that she was really poor... More importantly, as we all know, in a treasure house, money is usually the least valuable thing. The biggest function of this thing is to confuse those ignorant little ones. Thief.
The money in a sack may not be as valuable as a small ornament casually put in your pocket.
As for the treasure house in front of her, she was surprised by the money alone. She didn't dare to think about the value of the treasures in it.
The two of them were stunned for a moment. Then Luke came to his senses first and said to Professor McGonagall: "Professor, do you want to come in and take a look?"
Professor McGonagall subconsciously refused. After all, it didn't seem like a place where outsiders like her could enter.
But before she finished speaking, Luke continued: "I'm serious, Professor, if it weren't for your guidance today, then I wouldn't even be able to touch the door of this treasure house."
He was telling the truth. After all, the person who brought him here today could be said to have really brought him to the world of wizards. This favor was really heavy for Luke.
"It's my duty to bring you here, and I don't have to be the one to do it."
Professor McGonagall naturally wanted to refuse. After getting over the initial shock, Professor McGonagall regained his composure. After all, money and treasures were of little significance to Professor McGonagall now. If she wants money and enjoyment, then as long as she leaves Hogwarts and works elsewhere, the money will continue to flow in.
A top transfiguration master, his status and knowledge aside, his combat power alone is enough to make everyone take the initiative to make friends with him.
"But it's you today, isn't it? This is our fate."
Luke smiled and extended the invitation again: "At least please come in and take a look. Please also protect me. After all, I am also confused about this treasure house, so as not to encounter anything dangerous."
When the conversation came to this point, Professor McGonagall knew that she could no longer refuse, so she nodded and followed Luke into the treasure house.
Entering the treasure house, the treasures dazzled their eyes again. Whether it is expensive gems, precious magic materials, or rows of magic manuals, their value cannot be measured by money.
Luke walked around the treasure house, then became a little uninterested.
There is nothing wrong with the magic manual, it is precious and profound. But contacting him now does not bring much benefit. A person who has just learned junior high school physics must study quantum physics. Just think about the hardships involved. What's more, this is magical knowledge, and knowing it too early might harm yourself.
There is no problem with the magic materials, the heart and nerves of the fire dragon; the hair and horns of the unicorn; the tail feathers, beak and claws of the phoenix. There are even some parts of Eastern mythical beasts and many precious herbs. But with his Potions talent of 3 points, I'm afraid these materials can only be used to bribe Snape to stop scolding him.
And unicorn hair? Hagrid has blankets everywhere...
The more valuable ones are those magic props, but now he cannot develop the habit of relying too much on magic props.
As for gems and antiquities, at the end of the day it’s just more money. Luke probably won't be able to spend all the money on that Garonne Mountain until he dies. After all, the consumption level in the wizarding world is not very high. There are no over-the-top luxuries.
When all the money belonged to him, Luke suddenly felt dull.
He glanced at Professor McGonagall and found that she was holding a magic manual and reading it carefully. From time to time, he would nod or frown, obviously feeling something.
Luke smiled slightly.
ah! So delicious!
