Chapter 335 Tom: It Doesn't Matter, I Will Run

The crankshaft of the rail car with the concave iron wheels rushed on the track, making a loud clacking sound.

Grindelwald pulled the control lever from time to time in front, twisted the steering wheel to control the car to drive on the tangled track.

The goblins spent a lot of effort on Gringotts and operated it underground for hundreds of years. The tracks inside were densely packed, like the Pansi Cave.

Ordinary people would feel dizzy after taking a look, let alone remembering the road. Only goblins who walk every day can remember how to choose the right fork.

But the old man Grindelwald even figured out the goblin's track, which is more complicated than the CQ5D overpass.

Or maybe he is a professional! It would be impossible without him!

Dumbledore shook the invisibility cloak like water: "If you want to pass the anti-thief waterfall quietly, the invisibility cloak is essential."

As one of the three deathly hallows, the invisibility cloak is completely different from other imitations on the market.

After Nicolas Flamel completed the Philosopher's Stone, he was ambitious to challenge the Deathly Hallows, but no matter how he studied, he could not figure out the secret.

In the end, there were only imitations made of the fur of invisible beasts on the market. Not only would the effect gradually decrease, but the concealment and reliability were also far behind.

Zhang Xiao looked at the invisibility cloak and asked:

"So the plan is that we use the invisibility cloak to hide first, and then use the alchemy goblin to deceive the guards?"

"That's about right. Gellert is very confident in this plan." Dumbledore smiled happily and briefly described the plan.

Grindelwald said without looking back: "It's just deceiving some guards. It's not a difficult task."

No, it's that simple? Zhang Xiao had a sense of dislocation as if he finally met Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuxue, but he didn't expect it to be a bald and greasy uncle.

You are the dream team with the top intelligence and force in the Western wizarding world. You have participated in the previous generation of heroes who ruled and saved the world.

As a result, after discussing for a long time, you came up with this simple plan?

What about the thrilling infiltration, sneak attack, and strong attack?

"If we are discovered." Zhang Xiao asked carefully. It is the right way to consider failure before victory.

"Then let them shut up! Forever!" Grindelwald said coldly.

Zhang Xiao then remembered that the old goblin in front of him was not the old man in the park, but a ruthless and famous black wizard, the first generation of the Dark Lord.

The number one dangerous person who once caused huge waves in the whole world.

Unlike Voldemort, who said he wanted to conquer the world but couldn't even get out of Britain, not only that, he was obsessed with Hogwarts.

Dumbledore did not give Grindelwald face, shook his head, and said softly:

"Gellert, you should know that the Anti-Thief Waterfall will greatly weaken our strength. The small space it forms is a forbidden area for magic.

If I want to deal with the goblins, I can't deal with them silently as usual, I can only make a big noise.

And-Gellert, we can't do this, even if it's a goblin, remember our original intention, enter the vault and get the golden cup without causing any panic."

Grindelwald lowered his head in dismay, muttering something.

No wonder! Zhang Xiao suddenly remembered the goblin checkpoint he saw when he passed the Anti-Thief Waterfall before, and the arrows exposed on the white bones.

The Anti-Thief Waterfall actually formed a forbidden magic area, where weapons and physical strength are the most powerful.

That's why the goblins were equipped with bows and arrows and giant guards. I think when the magic fails or is extremely weakened, no one wants to face a giant wearing a full set of goblin armor.

Again, goblins are not idiots or fools, they are an extremely smart race.

At this moment, Nicolas Flamel's voice sounded in the earrings:

"You are about to reach the Anti-Thief Falls, slow down and prepare in advance."

Dumbledore nodded and agreed, shaking out the invisibility cloak.

"Professor, if there are four people, the invisibility cloak can't fit, right?"

The invisibility cloak is not small, but it is not very big either. It is crowded to cover three small ones. For tall people like Dumbledore and Grindelwald, two are enough.

Four will definitely not fit in all.

"So you need to transform into an Animagus form, Zhang.

As I told you before, Animagus is a kind of magic that can be called a miracle. Most counter-spells and forbidden magics have no effect on Animagus.

Of course, you will temporarily lose the ability to transform into a human when you pass through the Anti-Thief Falls, but that doesn't matter."

"Animagus?"

Not only Grindelwald, but even Newt, who had been silent all the time, couldn't help but look at Zhang Xiao in surprise.

"Animagus? Are you sure it's Animagus?

Damn, how did this kid complete the Animagus transformation in the third grade?"

Before Zhang Xiao had time to speak, Dumbledore continued:

"Maybe because Zhang is a real genius? Not only that, he had already completed the activation of the physical patronus in the second grade."

Activation, physical body, patronus.

Gellert turned around and stared at Zhang Xiao seriously with his unique eye. A feeling of being spied on rose from the bottom of his heart, but it soon disappeared.

Zhang Xiao clearly saw that Grindelwald's eyes were suddenly bloodshot.

"I can't see through it. Your fate is like a thick fog. I have only seen this situation in Albus, but even in Albus, I can see his scorching and dazzling light.

But there is only fog on you - kid, take care of yourself."

Time is tight, Grindelwald didn't say much, but turned to the back neatly, and Newt also slowly carried his suitcase to the front. Before Zhang Xiao turned into a peregrine falcon, he suddenly thought of why he couldn't hide in Newt's box?

But he understood it the next second, because Newt squinted his eyes and pouted his mouth at Dumbledore and Grindelwald sitting side by side.

Oh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No wonder the fans only carefully guessed that Grindelwald and Dumbledore just had a good impression of each other, or perhaps ambiguous, but Aunt Luo said directly, "Loved and slept with each other, write boldly."

Zhang Xiao tilted his bird head, and there seemed to be a flame burning in his crystal eyes. That was the power of gossip!

The sound of the surging water flow was amplified by the cave like a dull thunder, echoing in the cave.

The splashing water brought a hint of moist water vapor to the deep cave. The water of the anti-thief waterfall had a glittering luster, which was not obvious, but the whole waterfall was glowing, with a special beauty.

On the platform under the waterfall, there were fully armed goblins and trolls. The shiny goblin armor was shining in the firelight. These armors have a history of hundreds of years, but they are still as brand new. Even the shallow patterns are still clearly visible.

It's just that this place is too boring. It's so boring that you have to change shifts every once in a while, otherwise the goblins here will go crazy because of boredom.

In the hundreds of years of history of Gringotts, no one has ever been able to break through the guards of the anti-thief waterfall. The piles of bones under the platform are proof of this!

These goblins were so bored that they actually tried to teach the trolls to play wizard chess or cards.

They seemed to have succeeded, because the trolls did learn how to play chess, which was to pick up huge metal chess pieces specially made for them and smash them hard on the opponent's forehead. This was playing chess.

Suddenly a rail car broke through the waterfall and creaked to a stop on the track.

Rail car? Where did the rail car come from? Now the hall of Gringotts was in a commotion, and all the cave entrances were closed. How could there be a rail car?

The bored goblins had shining eyes, as if they had found some fun. They jumped up suddenly, pulled their bows and arrows, and aimed at the rail car. Even the trolls, who always had empty brains, put down their chess pieces and roared loudly.

It was really boring, so checking the vehicle was their only fun.

A goblin raised an exquisite brass telescope and looked carefully at the rail car. Even the other goblins pulled their bows, but their eyes kept drifting to the telescope goblin.

They were eager to hear the order of [Invader, attack].

But what he waited for was the disappointed sigh of the goblin observer:

"It's the old drunkard."

"The old drunkard? No, the cave entrance has been sealed up, why is the old drunkard here?"

"Ask!"

So the guards immediately jumped on the rail car and headed towards the old drunkard. Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiao became a little nervous.

It was not that he was worried about his own safety, but the natural nervousness when he could get through by "doing bad things".

Although Nicolael's skill in making figures is unparalleled in the world, the alchemist old drunkard in front of him, this "glue girl" and "glue fairy", is also very lifelike, and there is no difference from the real thing.

But what about talking and moving?

Then he saw a shocking scene. He saw Grindelwald suddenly took out something like a bow tie and put it on his neck, and then the alchemist fairy shook for a while as if he had an electric shock.

Then it was like a living thing. As long as Grindelwald blinked, the goblin blinked, and he shook his head and the goblin shook his head.

Divine skills! What is a divine skill? This is a divine skill!

Is this the skill of being immersed in alchemy for more than 600 years? So terrifying!

Nicolas Flamel's laughter came from the earrings:

"This is a technology I developed recently. I didn't expect to use it on the goblins first."

Then he said regretfully: "It's a pity that it's not perfect enough to walk, so I can only sit still."

Zhang Xiao took a breath while watching the rail car belonging to the goblin guards approaching quickly.

In just a short while, Grindelwald had no idea where to control the old drunkard to take out a bottle of currant wine, tilted his head back and drank a sip.

He also burped for a long time.

Looking at Grindelwald's empty hands, and his expression as if he was really drunk.

No. No physical performance? The most difficult performance technique in the legend?

The best actor! Looking at the face that looked like Johnny and Uncle Ba, Zhang Xiao opened his mouth. Even the first generation of the Dark Lord worked so hard to hone his acting skills, so there is really no shortcut to success.

Before getting close, the goblins almost immediately confirmed that the person opposite was the old drunkard.

Because there was no other goblin except him who was addicted to alcohol.

Looking at the drunk old drunkard, the guard stopped the car about one meter away. Even so far away, the strong smell of alcohol still floated over.

The captain of the goblin guard covered his nose:

"Old drunkard! How many times have I said that it is forbidden to drive a rail car after drinking. Have you forgotten that you drove the wrong lane last time and hit another goblin's car?"

"It's okay, I. I know." The old drunkard said with a big tongue, misty eyes, and smiled: "Today. There is no one else today. I can drink whatever I want, and nothing will happen."

Only then did the goblin guard remember his duty, and he shouted loudly in a high-pitched voice:

"Yes, why are you violating the regulations? Mr. Bogrod has ordered all cave entrances to be closed."

"Close the entrance to the ground and shut it down for maintenance. What's the maintenance? Tons, tons, tons."

The old drunkard wiped his mouth with his dirty sleeve, and saw the goblin opposite frowning. After a sip of wine, he no longer stumbled when he spoke, but became more energetic.

"The track on section 500 is damaged. According to Gringotts' regulations, track damage must be repaired as soon as possible. This is goblin law, and it is much more important than bullshit Bogrod!"

The goblin guard captain was stunned for a moment, turned his head and asked in a low voice:

"The track on Section 500 is broken? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

Goblin B also said in a low voice:

"It's broken. It broke suddenly and I didn't have time to report it."

The old drunkard stopped talking. He shook his head from time to time and muttered something in a low voice. Of course it would be broken. This was the trick Grindelwald did on the track the last time he came to Gringotts to investigate.

The guard captain glanced at the old drunkard's rail car, which was empty, and waved his hand, as if to drive something away:

"Go quickly, go quickly."

The rail car retreated at an extremely fast speed. The old drunkard raised his bottle and let out a hoarse laugh:

"May the great goblin prosper! Ton ton ton ton ton—"

In just a short while, the old drunkard drove the rail car into the deeper cave. Zhang Xiao could not believe that he had become an adult again.

"Come here?"

Dumbledore put away the invisibility cloak and said meaningfully:

“Zhang, do you know when an indestructible shield is at its most vulnerable?

That's when the person holding the shield slacks off. "

He looked back at the anti-thief waterfall that had long been out of sight, and said softly:

"The fairies put too much faith in the waterfall that has never let them down."

The rest of the journey was as smooth as an outing. The Elderly Thieves were indeed not as thrilling and thrilling as in the movies.

But it is this kind of simplicity, ingenuity and simplicity that makes people feel that this is the way it should be.

If danger is everywhere, then it would be very disrespectful to this unrivaled team in the wizarding world. Zhang Xiao even quietly asked Dumbledore if it would be better for this team to directly fight Voldemort.

As long as he is trapped, and with the help of Taoism, he can definitely pull out all the Horcruxes, and then kill Tom.

Dumbledore's answer once again illustrates how simple the truth is.

Just as a person will die if he is killed, Voldemort will run away if he cannot be defeated.

Can run.

Yes, Tom really can't defeat this luxurious team, but he can't stop him even if he wants to run!

It doesn't matter, you are as strong as you can be, I will run anyway.

The further you go down, the fewer the tracks. This is an area that Grindelwald is also unfamiliar with. For this reason, he made several wrong steps and had to go back and start again.

There is nothing that can be done about it. You can't get to the vault below only if you have money. In the short term, Grindelwald doesn't have any good way to get to the vault below.

Of course, if he told the goblins that he was Grindelwald, he would definitely be qualified, but the Ministry of Magic would be in trouble.

After turning the corner, the hoarse roar of the dragon and the sound of the chains dragging on the ground gradually became clearer.

Dumbledore stood up, stretched, and said with a relaxed smile:

"It's finally my turn, but before that, Newt, I have to trouble you."

Newt shrugged, and there was a movement in his breast pocket, first two green leaves, then bright black eyes.

A Bowtruckle suddenly crawled out. It put on its small goggles, pinched its waist with both hands, and stared at the crowd.
