The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

On Diagon Alley.

The battle continues.

The Aurors and Strikers had already retreated to Gringotts to defend themselves.

This was Scrimgeour's order, but it was also forced by the actual situation.

Because the number of Death Eaters far exceeded their expectations, under this level of suppression, even if they were all well-trained and well-equipped, they would inevitably fall into a hard fight.

A large number of Death Eaters were pouring in from the portal in Knockturn Alley every moment.

They all wore black robes and skull masks of different shapes.

Amidst the mad laughter, the green light kept flashing.

A large number of spells bombarded the door of Gringotts, all the protective spells jointly constructed by Aurors and attackers.

Countless ripples continued to ripple on the shield.

Even with the protection and support of the two ancient alloy doors of Gringotts, all the protective spell shields of the Aurors and Strikers continued to collapse all the time.

Once there is a gap in the shield, several miserable green beams of light that exude an ominous aura will seize the short opportunity of the Aurors to repair and pour into it instantly, taking the lives of the Aurors behind.

Of course, Aurors are not vegetarians.

The long-term and rigorous training made them quickly accustomed to this cruel fighting method. They began to try to accumulate magic power while deliberately opening a small window on the shield, and then turned the accumulated magic power into a magic spell and tilted it. Come out, form a defensive counterattack, and finally repair the window instantly.

The miserable green and scarlet beams of light intertwined on the battlefield.

People on both sides were falling every moment, but the next moment more would come up.

Screams and crazy laughter were mixed together.

Just like the fine wine at a dinner party, it added a bit more tragedy to this shocking feast.

A little further away from the battlefield in front of Gringotts, more Death Eaters turned their attacks to the shops along the street.

The simple defensive spells on the storefronts couldn't stop the Death Eaters' indiscriminate bombardment.

Amidst the explosions, walls were blown open, and then the Death Eaters cheered and swarmed in, looting the store.

This approach is obviously unwise.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that these Death Eaters had no intention of fighting, but were crazy and addicted to zero-dollar shopping.

With the number of Death Eaters several times greater than that of Aurors and Strikers, Gringotts had already been breached long ago and would not have made the battlefield ahead so tragic and anxious.

However, Voldemort, who was standing at the teleportation entrance of Knockturn Alley and overlooking all this, had no intention of stopping it.

He is very clear.

Most of these so-called Death Eaters can only be described as rabble.

As a dark wizard, these people actually don't have much loyalty to him, the Dark Lord.

In the past ten years, they have been suppressed by the Ministry of Magic for too long.

Now is the time to vent.

Letting them act recklessly will go a long way in gathering their loyalty.

And business has never been something Voldemort values.

What he wants to create is a wizarding country with an extremely centralized system.

To realize this ideal, manufacturing and education are the most critical.

If the place they captured today was Hogwarts or the industrial area, then Voldemort would definitely suppress the Death Eaters forcefully.

But Diagon Alley and Gringotts?

Forget it.

Business and other things are things that he needs to develop and support after he establishes a country and the current situation is stable.

Not worth mentioning at all right now.

In particular, Diagon Alley and Gringotts still conduct free commerce, rather than the centralized centralized commerce he advocates.

Rather, Voldemort was happy to see the current destructive behavior of the Death Eaters.

After all, it was destroying the foundations of the Ministry of Magic.

Taking his eyes away from the chaotic scene below, Voldemort slowly raised his head.

In mid-air, beams of green light were being shot out by the carnival Death Eaters.

These green lights went straight into the clouds, and soon exploded in the sky, turning into black devil marks one after another, covering almost the entire sky as far as the eye could see, and also making the diagonal corners that were originally slightly brighter. The alley became extremely dark.

For most of the Dark Marks, Voldemort just glanced at them and stopped looking at them.

His eyes were always focused on the dark mark shot by Little Barty in the center.

He was actually disappointed.

No matter what, he couldn't figure out why little Barty not only spent so many days failing to complete such a simple task, but in the end even used the Mark of the Dark to ask for help.

He was just disappointed, but Voldemort didn't intend to give up on little Barty just like that.

This is the only subordinate who has been loyal to him in more than ten years, and who has truly succeeded in resurrecting himself.

This kind of person cannot be let down.

Because little Barty is not only his benefactor, but also a memorial to all the old Death Eaters.

Voldemort needed to use Barty Jr. to show the Death Eaters what a bright future there would be if they were loyal to him.

Of course, the matter of erecting an archway must be put aside for a while.

The top priority right now is still to seize the Horcrux Golden Cup!

Voldemort took a long breath, then suddenly raised his wand.

A thick green light rose into the sky and penetrated into the dark clouds in the sky.

The next moment, with the green light pillar as the center, the thick dark clouds began to rotate, forming a terrifying vortex of clouds and mist.

The surrounding Black Demon Marks were slowly sucked in by the vortex, reunited and condensed, and turned into a brand new, unfathomably huge and terrifying Black Demon Mark.

"Hahahaha-"

Amid hysterical laughter, Voldemort's lower body turned into black mist and rose up.

As he waved his wand, a scarlet blood thunder suddenly fell, hitting Gringotts crookedly.

boom--

Delayed thunder echoed through the sky.

The main building of Gringotts began to tilt as a terrifying crack spread.

The Death Eaters and Aurors who were still fighting on the battlefield in front of Gringotts felt the sky darken, and then they saw most of the building and a large amount of huge rubble falling on their heads.

Death Eaters have better vision, so they can react faster.

Most of them apparated almost immediately to escape.

A few people continued to attack without fear of death, their eyes flashed with crazy blood, and they had obviously lost their minds.

"Quick! Face the defense!"

The Aurors and Strikers were obviously not so lucky.

Behind them was Gringotts, so escape was not an option at all.

Under the loud shouts of the leader, almost everyone changed the direction of their wands and barely erected the shields with protective spells above their heads.

But is it really useful?

Boom boom boom...

The half of Guling Pavilion that was cut in half collapsed completely.

Continuous explosions resounded through the sky.

The huge kinetic energy brought about by the collapse caused the entire area to tremble violently, and the powerful shock wave swept everything with smoke and dust!

After a long time, the reverberation of the explosion slowly subsided, and the smoke and dust in the sky gradually dissipated.

Due to the narrow entrance, the Aurors who had only escaped temporarily in Gringotts walked out of the remaining Gringotts in disgrace, hoping for a miracle.

But what caught their eyes were endless ruins.

The original battlefield has long been replaced by ruins and flames, and the Aurors and strikers who once fought on the front line and defended their dignity with their lives have long since disappeared.

The noisy crowd suddenly became quiet.

The expression of unspeakable shock was written on everyone's face.

They all know the fate of those soldiers...

However, before everyone could fall into grief, a black shadow flew from the distant sky.

The black figure was wrapped in black mist, and only a pale, ferocious face without a nose emerged.

Scarlet blood thunder flashed around him, and an extremely ominous and terrifying force followed his appearance and pressed on the hearts of everyone below.

And in the shadows farther away.

More Death Eaters were also cheering and laughing, rushing towards this side.

In this current situation, even the most greedy and selfish people will not continue to be obsessed with zero-dollar purchases.

Because they know very well that it is just a small profit.

As long as Gringotts is breached, aren't they free to take the massive gold Galleons in Gringotts' underground vault?

For a moment, it was like a carnival of scavengers following the death of an elephant.

Countless Death Eaters transformed into vultures, with Voldemort as the core, screaming and circling over Gringotts with overwhelming momentum.

The strikers and Aurors who witnessed all this almost collapsed.

No one among them has the time to organize any counterattacks and defenses.

Everyone opened their mouths and looked at the sky with despair.

In fact, fighting back is useless.

In the face of the legendary combat power of Voldemort, no matter how exquisite the cooperation of the Aurors is, they are just slightly stronger ants and will not help at all!

"Die!"

Voldemort gave the order with a grin.

The terrifying blood thunder poured into Gringotts from the sky again.

And closely behind were the Death Eaters scrambling for the first place.

Gringotts,

was breached...

……

Inside the Gringotts underground vault complex.

The terrifying giant fire python has been driven away by Link.

The broken stones from the vault door were quickly removed by everyone, and a cave no less big than the previous Opal Eye Cave in Australia was finally revealed in front of everyone.

The cave was stuffed from floor to ceiling with gold coins and goblet, silver armor, hides of various exotic animals with spines or drooping wings, potions in vases, and one still wearing a crown. skull.

Under the fluorescent light, the precious light reflected from various gold coins and jewelry illuminated the entire cave in a brilliant way.

Watch it all.

Everyone present couldn't help but gasped.

In terms of nature, human beings are actually not much different from the legendary evil dragons.

They all like all kinds of shiny things.

Otherwise, human ancestors would not have specially selected copper, silver, gold and other metals and gemstones as symbols of wealth.

Such a huge amount of wealth is suddenly piled up in front of you. This shocking feeling that makes your whole body tremble and your heart stops suddenly cannot be compared to staring at a series of numbers on a piece of paper.

"Humph!"

Old Kelie let out a cold snort.

This made the hunters behind him lower their heads to hide the greed in their eyes.

Seeing this, Old Kelie's gloomy expression looked better.

He knew the nature of these hunters very well.

The process of legal hunting and even poaching of magical animals is extremely dangerous. In order to gain a little profit, fights between the two groups often occur.

According to common sense, these hunters are not good people.

These people should be treated with authority.

Being nice to them will only make them push themselves further.

Just as Old Kelie was thinking this, he heard Link say with a smile:

"It doesn't matter. My goal is only Hufflepuff's gold cup. As for the rest of the property, you can take as much as you can. I don't want a penny."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hunters' heads that had just been lowered were raised again in an instant.

Disbelief was written on everyone's face.

Those who react quickly have already pounced on the treasures they have already taken a fancy to.

But as soon as they touched those treasures, they immediately screamed and fell back.

When I looked at their palms, they were already burned and covered in blisters.

The treasures they had grasped cracked as they fell and turned into multiple pieces.

A second later, with a series of crackling sounds, the floor was covered with the same items, and it was impossible to tell which one was the original one.

"The goblins have added fire spells and copying spells to everything!" Link said, "Unless the goblins break the spell, everything you touch will burn and copy, but the copies are worthless— —If you continue to touch the treasure, you will eventually be crushed to death by gold!"

As he spoke, Link had used his water control ability to crush all the crazily copied jewelry and gold coins. At the same time, his huge mental power swept through the entire treasure house under the action of the super-sensory spell, and he easily found the buried treasure. The gold cup among the gold coins.

Then a thin thread transformed from the power of the curse was inserted into the pile of gold coins, tightly wrapped around the cup and pot, and pulled out suddenly.

This process is extremely dynamic.

Countless fake galleons and fake jewels had cascaded onto the ground, and now there was almost no place to stay.The hot gold radiated heat, and the entire vault felt like a furnace.

At the same time, the golden cup also fell into Link's hands.

Under the double wash of the power of curse and water control, the effects of the copying spell and the fire spell on it have long been washed away, so they have not multiplied indefinitely like other objects.

"I repeat to you, as long as you have the ability, you can take whatever you want here. I only need this."

After Link finished speaking, he walked out of the vault carrying the Hufflepuff Gold Cup.

The remaining hunters looked at each other in disbelief, looking at the half-real and fake mountains of gold and silver in front of them, and finally gritted their teeth and pounced.

At this time, Link had focused all his attention on the golden cup in his hand.

The golden cup in front of me looks quite ancient.

The gold cup has two finely worked solid gold handles, and the body of the cup is engraved with exquisite symbolic carvings.

Legend has it that its maker, the great Lady Helga Hufflepuff, endowed it with rather magical abilities.

This allows it to speed up and improve the processing of food and potion materials, making the quality of cooking and potions better.

At the same time, it is also the first vessel in Hogwarts to assist house elves in magical food transportation.

Quite commemorative.

The gold cup is different from the previous Slytherin locket.

There is no defensive spell attached to it, and it can be easily destroyed with the power of the curse.

But Link didn't want to do that.
