The Years Welding at Hogwarts

In Snape’s kitchen.

Gwen, Snape, and Shirley were all studying the huge piece of parchment spread out on the dining table attentively.

Unlike the other two adults, Shirley was just watching the fun.

The content recorded on the parchment spread out on the table is that after Hydra entered the magical world, it continuously sent people to Gringotts in the name of withdrawing money, went deep into Gringotts’ underground vault, and spent a whole day. It was drawn after a lot of exploration.

Although Shirley inherited her mother’s wisdom, for her lazy character who can just lie down, it would be too much to ask her to take the initiative to study and learn how to look at topographic maps..

Looking at the extremely detailed information in front of him, including the route map that included all the defensive measures along the way, Snape silently moved his eyes away from the parchment and turned his eyes to Noah next to him.

Judging from the completeness of the information in this map, Snape would never believe that the preparation time was less than a year.

Good guy!

Co-authored by Noah Shafrin: From the time you first entered Hogwarts, or to be more precise, from the time Dumbledore took you to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies, you have already begun to plan for the future. Gu Lingge has taken action, right?

Although Snape felt that he had a very clear understanding of Shafrin’s moral bottom line.

But it wasn’t until today that he discovered that he had overestimated Shafrin’s moral bottom line. No, to be more precise, this guy had no bottom line at all.

To him, morality and law are just things that he uses to ask others to do what he wants when needed, but he himself will never abide by them.

What is a word to describe this kind of behavior of being strict with others and being lenient with oneself?

Oh, double-standard dog!

“Stop eating it.”

Noah, who was demoted from an outlaw to a double-standard dog by Snape, didn’t know the dark thoughts of the old bat for the time being. Looking at the fat turkey in front of him that was still eating, Noah was not angry. He stretched out his hand and patted the back of her head.

The fat turkey, who had been interrupted from eating, was finally willing to pull her face out of her rice bowl, which was about the same size as a pensieve, and gave Noah a big white eye.

“Fox, can you take us directly into Gringotts by apparating?”

Snape raised his fingers and tapped the topographic map on the table. Among them, the topography and distribution of the several vaults hidden in the deepest underground of Gringotts were still blank. He wiped them randomly. With oil on his lips, Fox stood up and glanced at the parchment in front of him,”I have to try it.”

Although she has been taken to Gringotts by Dumbledore several times to withdraw money before, she has never tried to see whether the defense measures deployed by Gringotts can prevent the phoenix from disembodiing..After all, compared with a certain lawless future Third Generation Eye, Dumbledore is as pure as a little white flower. For things like looting Gringotts, Dumbledore probably has never thought about it, let alone put it into action.

In front of everyone Faced with the human face, Fox immediately began to try on the spot.

After a while, the fat turkey sat back on the stool and buried his head in his rice bowl.

Fox’s unpleasant drake voice came from the rice bowl,”No, I tried, but it can’t be teleported.

Snape frowned slightly,”It seems that we have to find another way.””

The more tightly guarded the vault, the deeper it is located into the deepest underground of Gringotts.

Among them, the tightness of the vault is directly linked to the amount of wealth stored by its owner in Gringotts Bank..

To put it in a simpler way, that is to say, the deeper the location of the vault is underground, the more money is hidden in it.

As one of the twenty-eight sacred families, the Lestrange family has been for hundreds of thousands of years. The accumulated wealth can be said to have reached an astonishing level.

In the British wizarding world, there are only a few families that can compete with it for financial resources.

Black, Malfoy, and Gaunt before their decline, their reputations have reached their peak. Dumbledore at that time, plus Fudge, who had made a fortune just a few years after becoming minister…

The ownership of the dozen or so vaults in the deepest underground of Gringotts belongs to these magical circles. Rich people.

Whether these vaults are safe or not is not only related to the money bags of those big families, but also to the face and credibility of Gringotts – the reason why Gringotts has become the most powerful financial institution in the wizarding world. , which is inseparable from the trust of wizards, and if you want to win the trust of depositors, what are the three most important factors?

Safety!

Safety!

Or fucking safety!

If Noah wants to loot Gringotts, then He will have to face the long journey from the surface to the vault, and the various methods the goblins have adopted to protect the vault.

First, in order to prevent a large number of wizards with different intentions from entering the underground of Gringotts at the same time, the goblins are very strict about entering the vault. Strict enough restrictions have been made on the number of people.

If Noah wants to gather enough people to sneak into the caves under Gringotts, then this is the first difficulty he must face.

As for hiding his accomplices in the It is impossible to bring it in a small suitcase with a traceless stretching charm, just like the suitcase of old man Newt that holds an entire magical zoo. There are strict restrictions on the magic items of the Traceless Stretch Spell.

Just like storing your backpack in a locker outside the mall before entering the supermarket, those suitcases and handbags whose internal space has been expanded by the Traceless Stretch Spell are all It can only be stored in the Gringotts hall on the surface.

Even if Noah sneaks one in without the sight of the goblin, it will be exposed due to the scanning of detecting magic when he steps into the cave, so this is a Quite a stupid method.

As for transporting people through portals…

Noah has tried it before, but the ban on space teleportation under Gringotts is no weaker than that in Hogwarts. Portals do not belong to this world. Magic has failed in the face of Gringotts’ powerful restriction.

If he mastered the mirror space, he might be able to lead a large group of people directly from the mirror space to sneak into the vault and evacuate the entire Gringotts.

It’s a pity. , Noah does not.

For the real world, the mirror space is not just another opposite of the real world, but a reflection from a higher level of latitude.

I don’t know if this thing is because the world is different. However, additional adjustments are required, such as positioning or something.

Just like Noah couldn’t cast Kamathaj’s spell when he first came to this world, it wasn’t until Dumbledore’s appearance that he knew this was the world of Harry Potter, and he was able to cast Kamathaj’s spell. Only after fine-tuning can I rub the sword and shield with my hands.

Anyway, Noah directly followed the instructions of Ancient One to use the mirror space, but there was no reaction at all.

If you give him some time to study, maybe he can figure out how to adjust the magic to enter the mirror space.

But now they want to take advantage of the chaos in the magical world to make the world even worse.

So for the time being, there isn’t much time for him to tinker with this thing.

Manpower is just the first problem that Noah and the others have to face.

After entering the underground of Gringotts, they had to go through the anti-thief waterfall that can eliminate any magic, and… Oh

, by the way, the fire dragon imprisoned underground by the goblins to guard the vault. For Noah and his party, , on the contrary, it is the simplest level.

What a fucking fire dragon?

No matter how thick its skin is, can it still block the sword of Gryffindor in Fox’s hand?

After the fire dragon, Noah and the others will face the last layer of defense of the vault – the vault door.

Unlike those shallow vaults that can be blasted open with blasting spells, the vaults that can be placed in the deepest part of the earth are made of the best magic metals to build the vault doors.

The defensive magic painted on the gate is the crystallization of the wisdom of the goblin civilization. Connecting with the magic source deep underground can allow the magic runes carved on the gate to receive a steady stream of magic replenishment.

Not only the door itself, but also the cave walls surrounding the vault are connected together by magic to form a complete whole.

This makes it almost impossible to break into the vault through violent means. The only way to open the door is to use the key to the vault and the secret magic of the goblins.

The restriction rooted in the deepest part of the goblin bloodline makes it almost impossible for them to be controlled by the Imperius Curse to perform secret magic without opening the door voluntarily – if they do that, they will not be able to perform it before they can use it. Magic destroyed itself under the influence of restrictions.

As for the keys to the treasury, if Noah had such great power to obtain the keys to the treasury of more than a dozen families, then would he still need to rob them?

Just swagger in and move the money!

However, after all, there is no defense that cannot be broken in this world. At least with the goblin’s ability, it is still impossible to set up a defense that even Noah cannot break.

For Noah, it just takes a little more time.

But here’s the problem.

A strong attack would inevitably trigger Gringotts’ alarm system. Within two minutes after the alarm was triggered, Gringotts alone could muster a security team of at least thirty people to arrive at the vault.

But this guard team is just a pioneer.

After that, the fighters with powerful magical power among the goblins will also be dispatched, dispatching teams of different strengths and numbers according to the critical situation of the treasury.

What followed was the strike force and Auror troops dispatched by the Ministry of Magic after receiving the alert.

In no more than ten minutes at the latest, a team of more than 300 people will be able to reach the deepest underground part of Gringotts, and this is not where the full power of Gringotts and the Ministry of Magic lies.

If they all come out in full force, it is not impossible to pull out a force of more than 500 people.

Moreover, everyone in this team is not the kind of trash called a wizard who is actually a squib who can’t even cast the Iron Armor Curse. The most incompetent among them is also a striker.

Strikers are a force under the Department of Magical Law Enforcement that is responsible for arresting dangerous criminals. Although their functions seem to have a lot of overlap with Aurors, Strikers are more inclined to armed combat.

If an Auror is a criminal police officer in the Ministry of Magic, who is mainly engaged in criminal investigation work, and is more inclined to analyze and study criminal crimes; then a striker is a special police officer, who mainly focuses on counter-terrorism, arresting criminals with powerful firepower, and rescuing hostages. mission, possessing more powerful firepower and weapons than Aurors.

Wizards who want to be hitters, here they are at O.W.In the LS exam, you must obtain at least five certificates, and one of them is Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Even for a legendary wizard like Grindelwald, who is at the Demon King level, all he can do is to compete with one or two hundred Auror-level enemies without falling behind.

Five hundred Aurors and striker-level wizards…

Why don’t Noah ask Fox to help find out where the damn old Bee Deng is hiding, and invite him to come out again in the name of searching for Voldemort’s Horcruxes? Just help loot Gringotts.

Even taking into account equipment factors, the vibranium armor sponsored by Stacey Industries can allow them to directly ignore most of the magic attacks of those wizards, but how are they going to transport these things from the deepest depths of Gringotts? go out?

Judging from the information given by Noah, the long journey from the surface to the vault spans at least dozens of kilometers.

Because magic is unreasonable, the goblins can basically do whatever they want when digging underground space.

They don’t have to consider whether there is air underground for people to survive, and whether going too deep underground will cause environmental damage. The temperature rises to an intolerable level.

Therefore, the underground space of Gringotts is so vast that it is unimaginable.

During this long enough journey, the greedy goblins of Gringotts can lay countless crazy defensive magic and traps.

Even if their vibranium suits could fly at a speed of Mach 2, they might not be able to take them through the layers of magic set by these goblins.

Not to mention that the Lestrange family’s treasury was only one of Noah’s targets for Gringotts’ standard errand.

Yes, it’s one of them.

In Noah’s plan, the Horcrux belonging to Voldemort hidden in the Lestrange family’s vault was always just a smooth move.

Come here, it would be a disaster. If you spend so much effort to take a Horcrux back, even though this Horcrux was left in the world by Hufflepuff, one of the four founders of Hogwarts. It’s a relic, but the value of this thing is only that.

When the Golden Cup was created by Helga Hufflepuff, its purpose was planned by Hufflepuff – to help the house elves in Hogwarts transport magical food.

In other words, this thing is actually a vegetable jar, but the material is a little more luxurious. It is made of pure gold, and there are exquisite carvings representing Hufflepuff on it.

If you ignore its function, selling it simply as an antique can be worth four figures in Galleons.

After all, it is an ancient relic from the era of the Big Four, not the knockoffs sold in Knockturn Alley from last week.

You want to get rid of Lord Shafrin with a thousand gold galleons?

Do you really think that Lord Shafrin is a beggar?

Either don’t do it, or do something big.

There were more than a dozen vaults at the bottom of Gringotts. Uncle Shafrin waved his hand and said that those vaults would become theirs.

However, how to transport all the contents of these vaults is the biggest problem.

Lord Shafrin said that they could overcome all the difficulties ahead with their extremely powerful strength.

But when there is no space to store props, and Noah’s storage array may not be able to be opened, they can’t just rely on manpower to move it bit by bit, right?

After staring at the parchment in front of her for a long time, Gwen’s mind was spinning rapidly.

Since it is difficult to break into Gringotts’s vault from the surface, why don’t they try to change the angle and try to break through Gringotts’ defense from below?

Do you want to know about the vibranium drill shield machine?

There is no need to consider the terrain and soil quality, nor the subsequent tunnel reinforcement… all of these can be left to magic to complete.

The only thing they have to do is dig hard, covering several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers in a day.

“Perhaps, we can try to dig a tunnel, reach the vault directly from below, and then transport the contents of the vault out through the tunnel?”
