Chinese students at Hogwarts

It is difficult for Zhang Xiao to describe the way Bogrod looks at him, because even the legendary fan chart in Boss Ba's novel is not that complicated.

It was a kind of fear mixed with unwillingness, mixed with awe and anger, and a bit of confusion that cannot be described in words.

Bao Gerod looked at Zhang Xiao, and Zhang Xiao stared at him without fear, as if there were invisible electric waves communicating between the two.

The noisy Gringotts seemed to have been pressed on the mute button. The wizards turned around and looked here, and even the goblins briefly put down their work.

Some young goblins wanted to say something, but were stopped by the eyes of their older companions.

In everyone's shocked and confused eyes, Gringotts' director Bogrorod bowed deeply:

"Of course, as the heir to the Heavenly Master who is as noble as the sun, no one dares to question your qualifications."

All the sounds that had been accumulated before seemed to burst out at this moment.

The wizards were whispering noisily. They pointed here and exchanged their opinions in surprise. Some of them recognized Zhang Xiao.

So the word "Zhang" sounded one after another inside the hall.

The young goblins may feel ashamed. They stared fiercely at Zhang Xiao's position. He was just a human wizard. They couldn't understand why Director Bogrod had such an attitude.

But only Bogrod knew it in his heart, not only clearly, but also clearly.

The goblins have a long history. During their long history, they have been the dominant force in the West without any scruples.

Even as a wizard, there is no good way to get them.

Indeed, the emergence of the wand made it easier to release magic, but it also restricted the strength of wizards in disguise.

Many wizards cannot even cast a spell well without their wands, but goblins are different. Their innate talent for casting spells allows them to emit a fairly stable level of magic even without their wands.

Even though several rebellions in history have failed, the situation for the goblins has gotten better each time, let alone Gringotts, the only bank with the power to mint money.

If possible, no one is willing to hand over the right to mint money, which is a huge and continuous way to earn galleons.

Therefore, goblins are not very afraid of wizards at all. In previous wars, they have fought back and forth with wizards, and the role of wizard hunters has also appeared.

But the East is different. The arrogant goblins suffered an unprecedented defeat in the east. That crushing power made the goblins' fear penetrate deep into their bones.

The goblin magic they were proud of was like tickling the people in the east. Bogrod clearly remembered how it was recorded in the history of goblins.

He also knew how terrifying the background power the boy in front of him had.

The goblins took it for granted that the Daomen fighting in the local area had such powerful power elsewhere, and they were secretly glad that the wizards here were 'very low in aggression'.

In other words, I am afraid that goblins are one of the few races in the West who understand how powerful the East is.

After all, it was the only one who had been severely beaten by the Taoist sect. As for telling the news to the wizards. Why did they teach the wizards to be smart?

If the wizard goes to the east and has a conflict with the east, it will be great news for the goblins.

So Bogrod was subdued quite quickly. Isn't it a single-digit sequence vault?

Change! Even if the Taoist heir asked Gringotts to dig a separate treasury in the deepest part, Gringotts would not be unable to accept it.

Zhang Xiao nodded and breathed a long sigh of relief. He was actually not sure whether the goblin would recognize his identity.

After all, only he knew in his heart that his current hometown was not stable, and it was impossible for Daomen to cross the ocean and come here to have a war with the goblins.

Fortunately, it seems that the lesson learned back then was profound enough.

"Please go this way, Mr. Zhang, Mrs. Perenal."

Bogrod personally carried a lantern to lead the way, and behind him was another goblin.

Because of Zhang Xiao's strong request, the goblin finally stopped calling herself the awkward 'Heir of the Heavenly Master' and instead called herself Zhang.

They passed through a small golden door in the Gringotts hall that few people came to. After passing the small door, there was a passage going down.

The passage is not very long, and in just a moment, it suddenly becomes clear that it is a huge underground space.

They stood on a small terrace. The winding track extended downwards. The cave entrance was deep and the end could not be seen at a glance. From time to time, a rail car whizzed past on the track.

Bogrod took out a silver whistle from around his neck, put it into his mouth and blew, followed by a sharp whistle.

A lamppost pierced the darkness, and an unmanned rail car slid from a distance and stopped steadily in front of them.

Different from other rail cars, this rail car can be called a luxury car. Not only is the paint a mix of gold and red, but even the seats are soft leather seats.

"Please get in the car -" Bogrod climbed into the car first, placed the lantern in the reserved position, and locked the buckle.

The goblin he brought consciously sat in the last seat, leaving the two most spacious and comfortable seats in the middle.

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Xiao looked at the rail car whizzing past not far away at a speed of at least 100 yards per hour, and looked at Perenaal who was trembling as he walked beside him.

I couldn't help but worry rising in my heart, wouldn't this car just send the old lady away?

"Can Mrs. Perenal sit in this car? Her physical condition."

Zhang Xiao didn't finish what he said, but the meaning was very clear. Perenaar felt warm in his heart when he heard the words.

"It's okay, Mr. Zhang." Bogrod clapped the steering wheel in his hand and replied respectfully: "This is a rail car specially prepared for distinguished guests. It has a lot of protective magic on it. Even if you put down a glass of water, you can reach your destination. It will not be spread out even when it is on the ground.

Nothing like a regular basic protective rail car, you have nothing to worry about. "

Zhang Xiao nodded and helped Perenal get into the car. I have to say that this kind of rail car is much more comfortable than it looks.

I don’t know how much magic the goblin cast on it. Zhang Xiao even felt like he was sitting on a space sofa.

Bogro pulled the control lever, and the car began to slide forward silently. The howling wind around it was isolated by magic, and the rail car was quiet as if it didn't move at all.

Perenal's hand dropped naturally, perhaps because the bracelet on her wrist was a little uncomfortable. She pinched the bracelet and turned it, adjusting its position.

The bracelet seemed to flash a different kind of brilliance under the light, and then quickly disappeared.

Zhang Xiao calmly knocked on the metal partition in front of him:

"Director Bogrorod, I heard that Gringotts is the safest bank in the entire wizarding world?"

"Of course!" Bogrord said with strong pride in his tone: "Gringotts is the safest place. No one can steal anything from here."

Just as Zhang Xiao expected, private banks would introduce all their security measures in detail in order to show their big clients how strong their security is.

So to know how Gringotts protects its vault, all you need to do is deposit money.

The premise is that there are enough.

"Dear Sir, the single-numbered vault we are heading to is at the lowest level underground. The entire cave is protected by powerful goblin magic. Every time the goblin digs down a mile, it will fill every corner here with magic."

The rail car drove by itself, Bogrod waved his arms:

"As you can see now, there is no way to apparate here, no portkeys, and no way to safely go underground except by rail car.

And the railcar—"

Bogrorod patted the car and said proudly: "Except for the goblins of Gringotts, no one else can use it."

"Can't I still use magic?"

Zhang Xiao pretended to be curious and asked: "Such as slowing down and stopping shocks, floating spells, or even flying broomsticks."

This was a test, but it was obvious that Bogrod was not thinking in the direction of super VIP customers preparing to rob banks. He let out a harsh laugh:

"Wait a moment, we're almost there——"

He turned the controller, and the speed of the rail car gradually slowed down, but it was still very fast. Not long after, they came to a huge waterfall.

This waterfall weirdly violates the laws of physics. It does not flow from high to low, but from left to right, covering the entire cave. No matter which direction you go, you cannot avoid the erosion of the waterfall.

Anti-thief waterfall! The most precious thing in the goblin's hands is also the most difficult thing to deal with.

Zhang Xiao's eyes narrowed, and Perenal became equally serious. She covered her bracelet with her hand. When she took it away again, the bracelet had disappeared.

"Sir, Mrs. Perenal, what you are seeing now is the anti-thief waterfall. It is the natural enemy of all thieves. No matter who it is, they must pass through the waterfall to prevent someone from stealing the guest's identity."

Bogrod politely apologized:

"This is also for the safety of all guests' vaults, and we ask for your understanding."

Zhang Xiao nodded noncommittally, but Perenal slowly took out a small pink umbrella. Well, it looked familiar.

Bogrod glanced at her but said nothing, as if he was not worried that the umbrella would make the waterfall useless.

Isn’t physical isolation and flushing feasible?

"I'm getting older, and I don't want to be ruined." Perenal joked, and then opened a small umbrella to cover himself.

The rail car rushed straight towards the waterfall. The sound of the huge water flow got closer and closer, the water mist splashed, and a strange feeling surged up from the bottom of my heart.

Zhang Xiao felt as if he had lost something, and was even a little confused. It was something that came from instinct, and the reality that could be rewritten at will seemed indestructible.

For a short while, despair quietly emerged, and Zhang Xiao suddenly understood what he had lost.

Magic, just the escaping water vapor of the waterfall, makes the ability to cast spells disappear.

Wait, Zhang Xiao's expression changed a little. Perenal relied on magic to survive until now. If...if the anti-thief waterfall can really make the magic disappear, then Perenal

He hurriedly looked at Perenal, only to find that the old man was holding a small red umbrella and looking peacefully ahead. Perhaps feeling Zhang's gaze, she patted Zhang Xiao's hand:

"It's okay, kid."

As soon as he finished speaking, the rail car roared into the waterfall. It should have been carrying huge power, but Zhang Xiao felt as if he had just broken through a thin layer of water curtain.

The cold water soaked his entire body, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

The feeling of loss in my heart became more and more obvious. I tried to release a simple lighting technique in my heart, but the magic that had become instinctive like breathing seemed to be completely ineffective.

It's as if the connection with the surroundings has been cut off.

At this moment, Zhang Xiao felt his heart beating loudly, as if something was about to come out, and he saw the Golden Light Spell running on its own.

The misty golden light penetrated through his skin, as if he had a golden edge on it. In the deep cave, this pure golden light shined faintly but firmly, like the scorching sun breaking through the haze in the sky.

Bogrod looked at the faint golden light on Zhang Xiao's body in awe, and his mind seemed to recall the fear and trembling when he first saw the record:

"Those people's bodies suddenly emitted a strong golden light, like gods from heaven.

There was blood splashing everywhere, and the wailing and screaming of the tribesmen never stopped. They squeezed us to death like ants. Great goblin god, save us."

The despair faded away like the tide. Zhang Xiao took a deep breath and withdrew the golden light. However, she saw that Perenal looked as if she was sick and her face was frighteningly pale. She tremblingly took out a crystal bottle the size of a thumb and put it in. Drink up the gorgeous light blue liquid inside.

"Zhang, don't worry, I'll tell you in detail when we get back, but I have to admit, this is not a trip worth experiencing a second time."

Zhang Xiao noticed that Perenal put the bracelet on when he was closing his umbrella.

At the same time, he also understood why Bogrod didn't care about Perenal holding an umbrella - because it didn't matter whether he was washed by the waterfall or not, and the entire place where the waterfall flowed formed a strange 'evil-eliminating' field.

As long as you enter the range of the waterfall, the result is the same.

Bogrod pressed a switch on the rail car, and the hot air blew quickly from the surroundings. In just the blink of an eye, Zhang Xiao felt that his wet clothes were drying out.

"Everyone, please look there -"

Everyone looked in the direction that Bogrod pointed, and saw a stone platform not far away covered with bones. On another raised stone platform, there were goblin guards in shiny armor, holding brass telescopes intently. Stare here.

"Those bones were all left behind in an attempt to steal Gringotts, but no one could successfully break through the Thief-proof Falls-" Bogrorod said mockingly.

"The recent fool tried to use the Imperius Curse to let the goblins take him to the vault, but the Thief-proof Falls lifted the Imperius Curse. The waterfall guards immediately noticed the abnormality and hung him there——"

Zhang Xiao saw a skeleton lying on its back on the stone platform, motionless.

Let's just say, the process in the original book is simply outrageous. How could you imagine that the Imperius Curse controls goblins? If this is really the case, it would be a joke if the anti-thief waterfall is not matched with other measures.

In theory, anyone can steal Gringotts

The specific measures are 1. Purchase an invisibility cloak made of invisible animal hair at a high price (same model as Barty Jr.)

2. Find a Gringotts goblin and cast the Imperius Curse on it

3. Immediately after passing the anti-thief waterfall, apply a soul-stealing curse (original behavior)

The goblin was just short, not cerebral palsy. Zhang Xiao remembered Dumbledore’s previous proposal and could only blame the person Lao Deng found for not finishing the story well and being full of bugs.

"Did you kill him?"

"No, no, sir, we have no law enforcement power. We cannot kill any wizards. We are law-abiding goblins."

Bogrod waved his hands slyly and smiled slyly: "We just didn't see them. These poor people starved to death. By the time we found them, these thieves were already dead."

God didn't see them, he starved himself to death!

But I'm not here to uphold procedural justice. Zhang Xiao didn't care to pay attention to the brave warriors who bravely entered Gringotts, but concentrated on watching the next step.

Because in the original work, the car that Audio-Technica was riding in suddenly left them behind, and then they arrived at the deepest vault, the main theme was random.

But that's clearly not the case here.

Bogrod took the buckled lantern in his hand, turned the knob to make the light of the lantern more intense, and then fixed the lantern at the front of the car.

There was a rare nervousness in his tone:

"Dear sir and madam, please sit down, don't put your head or hands out of the rail car, and try not to make any noise.

Next, we have to travel through the Everlasting Mist. "
