Chapter 361 Welsh Green Dragon
According to the information provided by Bill as an insider of Gringott, night is a time when Gringott is relatively weak in defense.
After living with humans for a long time, the work and schedule of the fairies and humans has basically the same, both of them are out of the day and hiding at night.
The most important underground vault also has patrol guards on duty at night, but in the vast underground space, the activity environment is much more relaxed than the peak period of daytime abortion.
Since the entire building of Guling Pavilion was equipped with protective barriers and could not slip in through any magical means, Xin Sheng and Natiya could only use physical means to sneak in.
The Gringott Building is a towering building built of snow-white marble. It is located in the center of Diagon Alley and has a very conspicuous feature.
The main entrance of the Guling Pavilion is two heavy bronze doors. Even at night, two goblins in scarlet gold uniforms stand on both sides of the door.
Xin Sheng didn't intend to break through the main entrance stupidly, so the two of them took a detour to the side of Guling Pavilion and came to the eighth window from the left.
Bill tampered with the closed window in advance, removing the additional warning magic on it.
Xin Sheng used his sleeve sword to insert it into the crack of the window, picked up the lock without using any magical means, and quietly climbed into the window while the night was dark.
After entering through the side window, the two of them first saw a long corridor, and the constant magical eternal lights in the corridor were kept illuminated.
Carefully close the windows, the soundproofing effect of Guling Pavilion could hardly hear any unnecessary sounds.
I walked through the corridor and came to the main hall. There was no one near the lively counter during the day. There were also some books for recording the money entry and exit on the counter.
Following the map sign given by Bill, Xin Sheng and Natiya walked around the hall and went deep into the underground vault through a dim and narrow stone corridor.
In order to avoid being discovered by the patrolling goblins, the two of them did not use any lighting along the way, and their two amber eyes flashed with a faint glimmer in the darkness.
Drink cat eye potion that enhances night vision ability in advance, and the two of them can get enough vision without lighting.
This long stone corridor is a steep downhill leading to the depths of the Guringoir.
After leaving the stone corridor passage and officially entering the underground vault, the well-connected railway network first appeared in front of the two people, and some of the railways were also hung with small carts leading to the various vaults.
The secret vault located a few hundred kilometers underground in Diagon Alley is very low, and even with the physical strength of Xin Sheng and Natiya, you can feel a little discomfort.
The vaults of Guling Pavilion were not all built according to unified standards.
The scale of ordinary vaults closer to the surface is relatively small and there are not many safety measures.
As they went deep into the ground along the railway network, Xin Sheng and Natiya only saw a few patrolling fairies in the surface vault.
These vaults without any valuables are very weak. They can be easily opened as long as they have the corresponding keys, without any magical protection.
In theory, Xin Sheng could use physical means to pry open these door locks.
In contrast, the lower vaults left to the major wizard families are much more tightly defended.
As Xin Sheng and Natiya silently penetrated into the core area of the vault, more and more goblins patrolling with magical eternal lights, and the scale of the vault became larger and larger.
According to Bill, these deep vaults cannot be opened with only keys, and they must be touched by the fairy to unlock magic protection.
Moreover, the unlocking conditions of these deep vaults are constantly changing according to the mood of the fairy.
Sometimes the owner of the vault only needs to show the key, and sometimes they need to issue a complete proof of identity.
According to the arrangement of the vault owner, each deep vault may have different magic protections.
When a creature of a non-fair tribe touches the gate, it will trigger a magic mechanism and be sucked into the wall by the gate.
The goblins will inspect on a large scale every ten years to check whether there are stupid thieves stuck in the door.
Bellatrix's vault is not hard to find, and there are very few patrol goblins nearby.
This is because there is a very conspicuous guard squatting at the door of her vault - an adult fire dragon bound by chains.
The Lestranger family is one of the most well-known pure blood families in the British magic circle, with extraordinary financial resources and power.
Even if all the core members who are still alive are locked up in the Azkaban, the family's foundation is not so easy to be consumed.
Xin Sheng has read Newt's "Where Are the Fantastic Beasts" published in detail, and he quickly recognized the breed of this fire dragon.
This is a local fire dragon that is more common in the UK, called the Welsh Green Dragon.
Since the sunlight cannot be exposed to the deep underground vault, the Welsh green dragon's scales are pale and gray, and it looks a bit ugly.
Moreover, because he lived in the dark underground all year round, the Welsh Green Dragon's eyes were seriously deteriorated, and Xin Sheng could not see any expression in his eyes, as if he was blind.
‘Poor big guy.’
Due to his animal affinity, Xin Sheng has an instinctive sense of intimacy to most animals.
Of course, the premise is that the other party will not threaten his safety.
The fire dragons guarding the underground vault were specially trained.
Note that it is training, not taming.
In order to maintain the aggressiveness of the fire dragon, the fairies of the Guling Pavilion did not really tame the fire dragon, but instead made it develop some specific habits through cruel training methods.
Bill found out the weaknesses of this fire dragon in advance.
As soon as it hears the sound of Ding Dangpian, it will recall the pain of being chopped by the fairy with a magic sword. It will subconsciously retreat and make way for the fairy leading the way and the owner who comes to collect the goods to successfully enter the vault.
Dingdangpian is a special prop used by the fairies. The sound it makes is very unique and difficult to imitate.
Considering that the deep vault of the Guling Pavilion must be unlocked under the touch of the fairy, Xin Sheng and Natiya came to the vicinity of Vault No. 525 and began to search for the appropriate starting targets.
They were about to knock out a fairy, get Ding Dangpian from him, and press the fairy's hand to open the vault gate.
Admittedly, doing so will reveal the fact that Gringott was stolen afterwards, but as long as it is not caught by the goblins on the spot, there is no problem.
‘Just him.’
Xin Sheng pointed his finger at a fairy guard patrolling near the 525 vault.
With the help of Fire Dragon to guard the 525 vault, he was the only one around him and no other companions nearby.
Keeping Bill's reminder in mind, the two of them did not intend to use the spell, but did their old job.
"roar?"
When Natiya tiptoed past the Fire Dragon, the mutated Welsh Green Dragon that was invisible to his eyes seemed to smell something, and raised his head in confusion and twitched his nose.
Natiya was calm in the face of danger. Before the fire dragon suddenly rose, she flexibly jumped behind the fairy with her back to her, and effortlessly knocked the target out with her hand knife.
The sound of the hand knife contacting the fairy's neck attracted the attention of the fire dragon. It turned its body towards the direction where the fairy fell, and took a deep breath to make a threatening roar.
"Ding bell~"
A special crisp sound rang in front of the 525 vault door. The Welsh Green Dragon, who had just looked domineering, trembled all over and hurriedly took two steps back and made a low whimper.
Natiya carried the short fairy on her shoulder with one hand, and shook the special prop in her hand with the other hand - Ding Dangpian.
"here you go."
Xin Sheng also walked out of his hiding place. His mission was to make remedies after Natiya failed and subdue the furious fire dragon as quickly as possible, so as not to attract the alertness of other fairy guards.
The frightened Welsh Green Dragon shook his whole body in front of the 525 vault gate, shrank into a ball. It was obvious that he had encountered cruel treatment from fairies before and had developed conditioned reflexes.
When passing by the Fire Dragon, Xin Sheng asked Natiya to take the fairy to unlock the door first, and stood in front of the Fire Dragon with his animal affinity ability, raising his hand and gently stroked the scales on its jaw.
"Wait patiently, I will let you go free in a while."
