Chapter 330 Big Shot? Big Shot?

Eternal fog?

This is a word that never appears in the original book. It may also be that Dumbledore's story-making skills are not good enough and he missed it.

The speed of the rail car is constant at a relatively stable stage.

Bogorod also became a little nervous. He checked the lantern again and turned to remind:

"Dear sir, and respected Madam Perenelle, do not try to extend your limbs out of the car, keep this posture.

Try not to make any sound. It will only take a short time for us to pass through the fog."

Zhang Xiao and Perenelle nodded together. The halo of Perenelle's bracelet was flowing, which was very beautiful.

After just a short while, Zhang Xiao saw a dense fog blocking the way ahead.

The gray fog was boiling and rolling, but the strange thing was that these fogs did not seem to have the intention to spread, but lazily nestled together.

Occasionally, a wisp of fog that escaped also quickly retracted as if frightened.

Zhang Xiao wanted to use the magic eye to see, but he was afraid that doing so would cause the fog to change.

After thinking it over again and again, he gave up the idea. He was not a reckless person, so why bother.

The rail car gradually approached the fog, and the originally dim light of the lantern embedded in front of the rail car suddenly turned blood red.

The fog was immediately separated by the blood-red light, revealing the original track. The rail car slid into the passage, and the surroundings suddenly became dark.

It was as if driving into a deep tunnel. Not far from the rail car was the strange fog, with only the friction sound of the rail car and the light of the lantern.

There was silence all around, and Perenal had closed her eyes. This depressing atmosphere made her very uncomfortable, but Zhang Xiao insisted on watching.

Just remembering Bogorod's warning, he pressed the tip of his tongue against his upper palate and clenched his teeth, but his eyes kept scanning around.

At a certain moment, Zhang Xiao felt that he seemed to see something, but when he shifted his sight, there was nothing.

He thought about it, slowly moved his body, and put his face against the cold rail car door.

This way, they didn't leave the range of the car, but they were closer to the fog.

So Zhang Xiao knew why Bogrod repeatedly advised not to extend his limbs out of the car.

Because the moment Zhang Xiao put his face close, he saw a pale face appear in the fog.

No, not one.

Even if he pressed his upper jaw, Zhang Xiao still felt that he wanted to breathe and make some sound.

Because pale faces suddenly appeared above the fog, and they followed his example and put their faces on the edge of the fog.

They wanted to rush out, but the light from the lantern was like an invisible wall, firmly blocking them behind.

Is this the secret hidden in the eternal fog?

What are these faces?

Zhang Xiao sat up again calmly, looking at his nose and heart, calming his breath and concentrating his mind, pretending that he didn't see anything.

But the corner of his eye clearly saw the disappointed look on those faces, slowly retreating and disappearing into the depths of the fog.

The fog was not thick. Not long after, a ray of light suddenly appeared at the end of the fog. It was clearly in a cave of unknown depth, but compared to the fog, it was like dawn outside.

It seemed that someone had quietly turned off the mute button, and all kinds of sounds filled everyone's ears again.

Bogrod breathed a sigh of relief. He turned the lantern and turned the blood-red light back to dim yellow.

"Okay, we have successfully left the Eternal Mist. Honorable sir, respected Mrs. Perenelle, take a look, is there a safer protection measure than this?"

Perenelle let out a long breath, and she nodded undeniably:

"Yes, it is indeed very safe, but I want to ask if I have to go through such a dangerous thing every time I withdraw money?

Needless to say, it is not dangerous. I have lived for so long, and my sensitivity to danger is beyond your imagination. Just now, I could clearly feel that I was walking with death on that section of the road."

Too beautiful, is this what it means to be old and smart?

Zhang Xiao secretly cheered in his heart. The eternal fog just now was obviously very tricky. It was the only thing that he had no impression of.

He touched his blind spot in knowledge.

He wanted to talk about this fog, but there was no good entry point, but now Perenal's questioning was just right.

The vault should indeed be heavily guarded, but everything in it should be controllable. If it is so dangerous to withdraw money, then the top wealthy people in the wizarding world have no need to save money at all.

"No, no, no, of course not, ma'am."

Bogrod seemed to be explaining this problem not for the first time. He said very skillfully: "Madam Perenal, in fact, the eternal fog is not the creation of the goblins.

It is naturally formed."

"Naturally formed?" Zhang Xiao asked curiously. The question was very appropriate at this time, fully playing the image of a young man with a strong curiosity.

"Yes, sir, when we dug deep underground, the fog came out from nowhere, and they gathered together to form the eternal fog.

We tried many ways to make the fog dissipate, but all failed."

Bogrod pulled the control lever, and the speed of the rail car increased. He turned around with memories on his face:

"But please rest assured, the Eternal Mist is not always there. It rarely comes out. Even if it comes out, we have very mature technology to pass through it."

That is to say, this extremely dangerous fog does not always come out.

Zhang Xiao nodded thoughtfully. No wonder this was not mentioned in the original book. Maybe the Eternal Mist was on vacation when Harry and the others came?

Zhang Xiao wanted to ask again, especially he wanted to know what those things in the mist were, but Bogrod had already changed the subject and kept introducing the vault of Gringotts.

The rail car was still speeding, and Bogrod pointed to the occasional raised platforms on the rock wall of the cave:

"Everyone, this is the vault within Gringotts No. 50. Gringotts is deeply trusted by the entire wizarding world. Not only wizards, but also wealthy people of other races will choose Gringotts.

That over there is the vault of the queen of Veela."

Bogrod casually said something that was considered secret in the wizarding world. The two people on this rail car, one Perenelle Flamel, the wife of the legendary alchemist Nick Flamel.

One of them also enjoys a high reputation in the fairy kingdom, and the other is even more amazing, the heir of the Eastern Dao Sect, who can destroy the power of the fairy kingdom.

So Bogrod doesn't think it's a big deal to reveal the information of the owner of the vault - as long as these two are willing to deposit a large amount of gold in Gringotts.

If the owner of the gold unfortunately passes away and happens to lose his heir - such as Nick Flamel, then these treasures will belong to Gringotts.

This is the main reason why the goblins are keen on big customers, because everyone knows that the rich pure-blood families have few offspring and are very easy to die out.

As for the Weasley family - this poor but numerous family is an outlier.

But does the Veela have a queen?

Before Zhang Xiao figured out this problem, the rail car suddenly began to slow down, and with the harsh sound of brakes, the rail car stopped steadily on a huge platform.

I don't know how deep this place is underground. Zhang Xiao helped Perenelle out of the rail car. Perenelle didn't say much along the way, but every time he was on point.

Her main task was not to get information, but to control the 'gadgets' given by Nico Flamel. '

"Dear Sir, dear Lady Perenelle, we are here."

Bogrod jumped off the rail car and finally spoke to Fairy A who was following behind him for the first time:

"Give me the jingle piece - hurry up!"

Fairy A took out a strange object similar to a small shovel from his waist without saying a word, but the handle was short and the shovel head was large.

Bogrod took the jingle piece and once again said:

"Please follow me closely later - don't fall behind."

If I guessed correctly, the one in front should be the fire dragon?

Zhang Xiao muttered in his heart, but his pace did not stop.

They turned a corner, and Zhang Xiao suddenly stopped, looking at everything in front of him in shock.

A huge fire dragon was tied to the ground in front, preventing people from approaching the deepest vault there.

Because it had been confined underground for too long, the scales on the dragon's body had become pale and loose. Its eyes were cloudy pink, and both hind legs were shackled with heavy chains, connected to huge piles deeply driven into the stone ground.

But these were not the main points. What really shocked Zhang Xiao was that the dragon was wearing a huge, shining goblin armor.

Its huge spiked wings were folded on both sides of its body. If they were spread out, they would fill the entire basement. They were covered with a thin layer of metal, just like a metal dragon.

Not only the wings, but even the ugly head of the dragon was covered in a very fitting helmet.

WTF? ? ?

Zhang Xiao stared at the dragon in front of him, which was more than twice as ferocious and terrifying.

The memory of the armored giant monster that he had seen in the forbidden forest in the first grade came to his mind again.

Reality once again shattered the novels he had read before. Yes, there were indeed dragons, but was this the dragon that the iron triangle faced?

An inexplicable absurdity surged up, but after the absurdity, Zhang Xiao had a strange feeling that it was just as expected.

No matter how you look at it, the flaws in the original book are so big that you don't know how to complain about it.

First of all, using a dragon to guard the vault is really great, but one fact needs to be confirmed.

For those who can get here through many levels, a dragon is really nothing.

Especially in the Goblet of Fire, the little wizard directly faced the fire dragon, and there are many ways to make the fire dragon lose its guarding function.

So it is really outrageous to use a fire dragon at this juncture, it is better to put a few Dementors or something like that.

The second flaw is to use [Force Relaxation] to break the chain of the fire dragon.

This is a magical plot that Zhang Xiao almost had a cerebral thrombosis.

A chain that can be broken by ordinary spells, and the dragon can't break free by itself?

This is a dragon, a dragon that can also spray high-temperature dragon fire! Its breath is enough to melt gold and iron!

It's as outrageous as if you use a bicycle chain lock to lock a main battle tank and it can still lock it!

Zhang Xiao looked at the huge chain engraved with intricate and exquisite patterns and fairy characters, and was completely numb.

A complete set of fairy products!

The dragon armor and fairy chains blocked the way of the original work, and Zhang Xiao even had an idea that this was right.

In any case, it should be Old Deng and the others who had a headache, so he could just look at the vault with peace of mind.

"Its eyes aren't very good," Bogrod said in a low voice, "but that makes it even more cruel. But we have ways to control it.

Please follow me—"

Bogrod raised the strange jingle piece that looked like a shovel and shook it vigorously.

The jingle piece makes a loud and clear jingling sound, like a small hammer hitting an anvil.

The giant dragon let out a shrill wail and shrank back desperately.

"Please keep the news about the dragon under Gringotts secret, although we ensure enough security and ensure that the dragon will not escape from Gringotts.

But the Ministry of Magic has expressed some concern, so we need to keep it secret. "

Bogrod turned the corner shaking the jingle, and the noise echoed between the stone walls, amplified many times, giving people a headache.

The dragon let out another hoarse roar and retreated. Zhang Xiao could see it trembling. When he got closer, he saw the terrible scars on its face. He guessed that it had been trained to be afraid of the fiery sword when it heard the clang.

Soon, they were spared from the dragon and came to the huge treasury guarded by the dragon behind them.

Nine huge metal doors were lined up silently around. Bogrod put down the jingle, spread his hands, and with pride, bowed slightly and introduced:

"The deepest vault in Gringotts - numbered 1-9! It is also the vault with the highest defense in Gringotts and is said to never fall.

As long as you keep your wealth here, even the end of the world will not be able to shake your treasury. "

Perenal finally showed an interested expression. She asked slowly and calmly, with a bit of scrutiny:

"Oh? Director Bogrorod, along the way, I have seen a lot of Gringotts' security measures. I am very satisfied-"

A smile appeared on Bogrod's face. Why do you work so hard? Isn't it because Perenal and Zhang are planning to jointly use a treasury?

Merlin's gold coin! The most mysterious alchemist family in the West, which has held the Philosopher's Stone for thousands of years, and the extremely powerful Eastern heir - they share a treasury, which must be the largest treasury in Gringotts!

"But before that, I want to know who are the people using the same level of vault as me?"

Perenal's eyes wandered back and forth over several huge door openings.

Bogrod's face froze, and he said dryly:

"Sorry, madam, I can only guarantee that the people who have the treasury here are all important figures in the wizarding world, but I--I need to keep the specific customer information confidential."

Zhang Xiao looked refreshed and energized, it was time for me to play my role again!

Don't tell me, this little heavenly master's identity is really useful.

He frowned and asked in a puzzled tone:

"Oh? Big shot?

Is it big? "
