At first, Wenxiu Lord and Severus thought that the speed was like riding a roller coaster, which was completely acceptable.

However, as the carriage went deeper and deeper, the speed became faster and faster, as if it was going straight to the underground abyss, and the temperature in the tunnel became colder and colder.

Wenxiu Lord was sure that the speed was at least twice as fast as that shown in the movies, because if he and Severus had not been holding the handrails on both sides, they would most likely have been thrown directly to the top of the tunnel.

The carriage sped along, the wheels rubbing against the tracks creating strings of sparks, and the cold wind blew against the two men's faces, making it impossible for them to open their eyes.

Wenxiu Lord, whose face hurt from the cold wind, clung tightly to Severus, trying to get closer to him to keep warm. He decided not to come to the vault unless necessary in the future, and even if he had to come, he would definitely wear more clothes.

The carriage was still moving deeper and deeper. Severus saw a fire dragon flash by on the platform beside the track. He wanted to ask but the cold wind rushed into his throat, choking him and making him unable to make a sound.

Severus put a hand over his mouth and coughed for a long time before he recovered.

The goblin sitting opposite the two men saw the confusion on Severus' face and explained, "That is the fire dragon that guards the vault at Gringotts. It is the second barrier to protect the vault."

The carriage continued to speed forward, with a curtain of water pouring down in front.

Fairy: "This water curtain can wash away all the magic cast by the wizard. It can effectively prevent someone from using magic to impersonate or control us to steal the wealth in the vault."

The two had just heard half of it and had no time to react when the carriage took them directly through the water curtain.

In an instant, the two were soaked through, and after being blown in the cold wind in the tunnel for a long time, they were so cold that they felt a little numb in their bodies.

Wenxiu Lord, who was shivering from the cold, looked at the fairy sitting opposite him, whose body was dry even after passing through the water curtain. Then he remembered that he was now a wizard who could perform magic.

He quickly drew out his wand and cast two drying spells on himself and Severus, and then cast several warming spells. Only then did their faces become much rosier, and they finally had the mood to observe the situation around them.

The tunnel is covered with stalactites of all sizes, the walls on both sides are engraved with runes, and the doors of the vaults keep flashing by on both sides.

After driving downward for about 20 minutes, there were fewer and fewer vaults on both sides of the track, and the carriage slowly stopped in front of a vault door.

Wenxiu Lord walked down from the carriage with trembling legs, holding onto the wall and retching. Severus, who followed behind him, also had a bad look on his face.

Just now, after Wenxiu Lord cast a warming spell on the two of them, their warmed bodies seemed to have finally regained their senses. He began to feel nauseous as the carriage twisted and swayed. Fortunately, he had not eaten in the morning, otherwise he might not have been able to bear it.

Severus tried hard not to vomit, calming the churning in his stomach. Looking at Wenxiu Lord who was still holding onto the wall and retching, he walked over to him and patted his back to help him calm down.

"Thank you, Severus, I am much better."

Severus shook his head, and seeing that he looked a little better, he stopped worrying.

After waiting for both of them to recover, the fairy walked to the door of the vault and said, "This is Vault No. 7." After operating with both hands, the runes on the door emitted a faint fluorescence.

The mechanism lock on the gate made a clattering sound, and the dense chains and vines spread out, revealing the keyhole in the middle of the gate.

Wenxiu Lord inserted the key in his hand into the keyhole and turned it. The door rumbled and a round platform half the size of a palm appeared above the keyhole.

Fairy: "Sir, this gate still needs to authenticate the bloodline of the Lord family."

Wenxiu Lord endured the pain and bit his finger to drip a drop of blood on the small round table. The round table retracted into the door, and the heavy door slowly opened outwards.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The two men were choked by the dust stirred up by the opening of the door and started coughing. Wenxiu Lord even sneezed several times in a row.

Raising their hands to fan away the dust in front of them, the two were finally able to open their eyes.

The vault sensed the door opening, and the oil lamps on the wall ignited without wind. All that could be seen was golden yellow, and the gold Galleons piled on the ground were like a mountain of gold several feet high.

The gold Galleons sparkled in the candlelight, and the dazzling golden light made their eyes hurt.

The hill of Kingalon was surrounded by rows of cabinets, on which were displayed many unnamed magical items.

In front of us was a group of neatly arranged tables, all filled with jewellery, sparkling in the candlelight.

Wen Xiu Lord, who was standing in front of the door, was stunned. He had never seen so much gold in his previous life. He didn't expect that this system would be so powerful. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It's really a thick golden finger."

After walking into the vault and looking around, Wenxiu Lord finally fixed his sight on a small table. On it were two bracelets, one of which was inlaid with dark green gems and carved with fine patterns, and the other was silver-grey with jewels of unknown material, which looked very transparent.

Wenxiu Lord picked up the two bracelets, and the system panel suddenly opened in front of him.

[Item name: Twin Bracelet]

[Item information: When one person wears two bracelets, they can resist a fatal crisis. When two people wear them, they can calm their minds and sense the distance of the other wearer. The farther the distance, the lighter the color of the black bracelet, and the darker the color of the silver bracelet.]

Wenxiu Lord raised his eyebrows and said, "What a good thing!" He put the silver bracelet directly on his wrist. He also put the other dark green bracelet into his pocket, intending to give it to Severus when he went out later.

After walking to the other platforms and taking a look, Wenxiu Lord had to admit that he was short-sighted. All the props on these dozens of platforms were able to withstand fatal attacks.

Then he came to one of the cabinets, which was filled with boxes of various sizes.

He picked up a suitcase and opened it. It seemed to have been cast with a traceless extension spell. It looked to be several hundred cubic meters in size and was filled with various potion materials that looked very precious.

Several other boxes were opened one after another, and they were also filled with various rare materials and alchemical items. There were also several boxes full of magic books. Those books looked quite old, and many of the pages were yellowed. Some even had blurred words on the cover, but fortunately, the words inside were very clear.

One glance at the books in one of the boxes revealed that they were not good things. There was an ominous aura surrounding them, which gave Wenxiu Lord goose bumps on his arms. He quickly waved his wand to make the box float away and dropped it in the corner.

In the end, Wenxiu Lord chose a suitcase that was about 20 inches in size and had dozens of cubic meters filled with gold Galleons.

He poured out most of the gold Galleons in the box, put the props and jewelry on the table into the box, and took a lot of potion materials and alchemical items from other boxes and stuffed them in. Only then did Wenxiu Lord leave the vault with satisfaction.

After closing the door of the vault, Wenxiu Lord took out the bracelet he had just seen from his pocket and handed it to Severus.

"Hey, this is for you."

Severus looked at the bracelet he handed over and shook his head, "I can't take it."

Wenxiu Lord took Severus' hand and put the bracelet on him. "Just keep it. It's not expensive. You are my only friend now. This bracelet is a pair. I will wear it too. This bracelet can not only calm the mind, but also make us feel the distance between each other when we both wear it."

After saying that, he raised the hand wearing the bracelet and waved it in front of Severus.

'My only friend.'

Severus pursed his lips and looked down at the bracelet on his wrist. The inky gemstone shone brightly in the candlelight.

"Um"

Seeing that Severus did not refuse again, Wenxiu Lord showed a bright smile on his face.

On the way back, the two of them also left in a car. With the lesson learned from the way here, Wenxiu Lord cast several layers of warming spells on the two of them in advance. However, probably because it was uphill, the speed of the car was much slower than when they went down, and the two of them no longer felt nauseous.

Walking out of the door of Gringotts, Wenxiu Lord weighed the suitcase in his hand, turned his head to look at Severus beside him and took his arm, "Come on, I'll pay for the rest of the expenses, and we'll go have a big meal!"

Severus rubbed his pockets, which contained the silver Sickles and copper Knuts he had just exchanged, "No, I changed the money."

Wenxiu Lord looked at him pitifully, "Our round trip fare will be paid by yours, and the money for shopping will be paid by mine. Do you have the heart to refuse me? I will be very sad."

Severus simply couldn't stand this pair of beautiful eyes staring at him, and finally succumbed.

After having lunch in a restaurant with not much traffic, the two began to wander around Diagon Alley. Wenxiu Lord said that this was just to digest the food after the meal.

"Severus, look at this bat, it's so furry."

"Severus, let's buy an owl. It can also deliver mail."

"Severus, I'll buy you a large ice cream boat and we can share it."

Severus! Severus. Severus? Severus~

…………

Along the way, Severus was very tired as he was dragged by Vinciu Lodra to visit one store after another, and he had to stop him from buying all kinds of strange and unnecessary things.

The two of them walked around and came to a potion shop, "Severus, potion material shop, let's go in and take a look."

Seeing the potion material shop, Severus, who was almost collapsed by being guided by Vince Lord, perked up a little.

When I pushed open the door of the shop, the air was filled with the smell of many mixed potion ingredients. On the counter and the surrounding shelves were various potion ingredients, as well as the tools needed to brew potions.

The shop owner saw someone coming in and greeted him with a smile.

"What are you two young gentlemen going to see?"

Wenxiu Lord glanced at the items on sale in the shop. "Small medicine bottles, brass scales, and standard-sized No. 2 pewter crucibles. I want two sets of all of these, thank you."

After saying that, he turned to look at Severus, "Severus, although I have a complete range of potion materials here, it seems that I don't have any common materials. Let's buy some."

At this time, Severus was completely immersed in the potion material cabinet, and it was only after Wenxiu Lord called him several times that he came back to his senses.

"Yes, sure." He then named a bunch of potion ingredients. He couldn't wait to have them.
