The ancestors who traveled through those years

10

Leading two curious babies to Gringotts was probably Snape's biggest crisis in ten years, he had to use up all kinds of taunts every three steps to keep the two staring at the cauldron/book/magic plant/owl The child of the road opened his legs again.By the time they finally reached the gates of Gringotts, Snape was already thinking about the possibility of early retirement.

The monsters in Gringotts unsurprisingly aroused Godric's curiosity: "What are they doing here?"

"Open Gringotts, that is, a money exchange." Snape squeezed out a few words through his teeth.

"...Are you saying you want us to give them the money, and then ask them to exchange it for us?" Godric had a strange expression on his face.

Goblins seem to have had a bad reputation a thousand years ago.Snape thought of this, and immediately became alert.He didn't want the first Gringotts heist to be committed by the founder of Hogwarts.

Fortunately, Salazar was much calmer than him: "Since there are rules, let's follow them."

There were many goblins working in the hall, and Snape brought them to a young goblin—because he was afraid that the older goblin would be killed by two of them—Godric and Salazar combined had only eleven It is worth mentioning that each one looks different, fully embodying the coinage technology thousands of years ago.

"This is... an ancient coin?" The goblin looked at the fineness of the gold coin with a magnifying glass with great experience: "Well... it is very well preserved, with almost no wear and tear, and the purity is also very high... I can produce 130 gold coins per coin." Long price!"

Judging by the behavior of a surprised wizard next to him, that's probably a good price.Salazar thought about what he saw and wanted to buy, then took something out of his pocket and tiptoed it on the counter: "And this?"

Snape saw the thing by virtue of his height.It was a black dagger, the handle of the dagger was carved into the appearance of a woman with her arms around herself, the skirt was a mouth, the legs together were sharp blades, and the eyes were replaced by two rubies. It looked very evil, especially the woman. Her face was sculpted so lifelike, but that pitiful expression made her look even more monstrous.

The goblin only glanced at the dagger, and his eyes immediately widened.Impatiently, he grabbed the dagger in his hand and looked at it repeatedly for nearly 10 minutes before he let out a high-pitched scream: "Hella's funeral—"

Its scream echoed in the empty hall, and all the goblins looked this way.The old goblin sitting on the top climbed up the chair tremblingly, glanced at its counter, and immediately rolled off the chair.It rushed at the young elf like a cannonball, grabbed the dagger rudely: "Let me see!"

Snape stabbed Dumbledore villain more than a dozen times in his heart before he felt calmer.Numbly, he pulled the two teenage founders back, making sure they were within his protection.After he finished this, the old goblin over there let out a scream that was not inferior to the young goblin before: "This is the real thing—Hella's funeral!!!"

The goblins in all directions put down their work and rushed towards them.Snape was like a black bat rock fixed in the sea of ​​fairies, he spread his wings to firmly protect the two teenagers, allowing the sea of ​​fairies to gallop past them.After a while, the dagger was passed around among all the fairies, and finally returned to the old fairies.It stood on a high counter looking down on Salazar: "Young man, where did you get this thing?"

"Accidentally snatched it." Salazar said.

Have you accidentally robbed? ! !

The old goblin was meticulously calm, and smiled kindly—although it looked treacherous because of its wrinkled face—"Oh, you're in luck. This is a treasure we goblins made, and was born by Salazar thousands of years ago. .Slytherin snatched...in exchange."

Don't hide it, it was definitely taken away, right? The original owner is standing here! ! !It turns out that there are still things that were robbed thousands of years ago and returned after thousands of years! ! !Snape began to stab Dumbledore's knife in his heart again.Blame this damn old man, why did you push this damn task to me!

Salazar blinked, oh.Seeing Snape's murderous expression, he explained: "Actually, the goblins made the first move. They sneaked up on me while I was molting, and I fought back when they wanted to take my snake slough away! I won't take the initiative. Attack the goblins, they are so nasty!"

Snape: "..." I didn't know where to start complaining.

The old goblin over there was so excited that he didn't hear him.He clutched the dagger tightly, apparently not intending to hand it over again.He continued to smile kindly, and said to Salazar, "Thank you very much for bringing him back, young man."

"How much gold is it worth?" Salazar asked.

The old goblin's face twisted for a moment: "This was originally ours!"

"Your life was originally yours. I can take away the dagger, and naturally I can take your life away." Salazar said flatly: "At first I only wanted to sell the dagger, but now I have changed my mind. Return the dagger. Give it to me, and you can put a price on your own life."

Old Fairy: "..."

Snape: "..."

All the wizards watching: "..."

Hey, is such a straightforward threat really okay?Young man, what are you doing here!People around expressed horror.

It was Godric who took out his staff without saying a word.His staff was a head taller than himself, and it was inlaid with a huge white gemstone, but the overall shape was horrible, as if someone had used a chain made of mithril to force the white gemstone to the walnut wood.His eager eyes swept over the goblins all over the floor, and he showed a smile that was definitely not kind.

The old goblin took a look at the very ugly but obviously very powerful staff, roughly estimated his own fighting strength, and his expression became very confident again.But before he could speak, Salazar suddenly pointed down at his feet: "You have a dragon here, it is very old, but it still has the strength to break free from the chain. Let me see... ah, Gringotts' protection Magic is composed of three basic magic circles, with a total of 36 nodes, the nearest one is only fifteen feet away from me, and the farthest one is less than a thousand feet." He said, suddenly looked up at the old goblin, who was originally lake green His eyes turned into a pair of blood-red vertical pupils, and even his words seemed to be mixed with a hissing sound: "How long do you think it will take for that dragon to destroy them all?"

This threat was more blunt and terrifying, and even Snape didn't know how he saw it.The old goblin's expression froze, she looked at him in disbelief, and then at the direction of his finger.The underground caves of Gringotts were reflected in his mind, looking in the direction Salazar pointed... that was really where the dragon guarding the vault was!

Now his expression changed completely: "You used Legilimency on me?!"

"What?" Salazar recalled for a moment before recalling what Legilimency was.He glanced at the old goblin contemptuously: "Who is in the mood to see what a rotten nut is thinking?"

Rotten Nuts: "..."

Snape couldn't help looking at Salazar, applauding his ability to give people nicknames.

"You have two choices. One, we do business peacefully. If you offer your life money, I will consider whether to accept it. Two, we do not do business peacefully. Your property will belong to me from today onwards." Salazar The threat went up to a higher level: "Oh, by the way, give me back the dagger, I use it pretty well."

The old goblin showed a struggling expression on his face.Seeing what he was going to say, Godric suddenly stepped forward and slapped a badge on the counter: "I suggest you read this before answering."

Snape took advantage of his height to see the whole picture of the badge.On the badge is a lion wearing a crown, which looks very similar to the Gryffindor emblem, but if you look closely at the lion, there are a pair of crossed swords behind it, and countless flaming golden roses bloom at the lion's feet.For some reason, the old goblin's face changed drastically after seeing this badge, almost turning into a white rotten nut (?), his lips trembled for a long time and he was speechless.

Ten minutes later, they emerged from Gringotts with a sizable bag of gold coins.Salazar put the dagger back into his pocket, and Godric also put away his staff and badge. The expressions of the two were very flat, as if they were not the ones who threatened and threatened just now.

Snape's heart was broken. After walking a long way, he still couldn't bear the torment of curiosity and asked, "What is that badge?"

"It's actually the family crest of the Abliss family. I made it myself. I used it to scam those old goblins. I didn't expect them to believe it..." Godric scratched his head: "The Abliss family claims that goblins hunt and kill Or, their most famous hunting event is the Goblin Hunt, which is held every year. They will use the heads of goblins to pile up a tower, and then hang the family emblem on the top of the tower."

Snape: "..."

In the first half of the sentence, he still has an infinite trough held in his chest, but when he heard such a cruel activity, even he couldn't help his face changing color, and he swallowed all the troughs.

"Don't show such an expression, goblins can eat people." Godric touched his chin: "You probably haven't seen a goblin banquet? Tsk tsk, they like to eat the internal organs of young children. When holding a banquet, they will put A large number of young children gathered together to disembowel their stomachs, and then put the bloody internal organs on the plate, poured wine and ate it..."

Snape pursed his lips tightly, unable to imagine what that scene was like.

"Of course, not all goblins are cannibals." Seeing his ugly expression, Godric explained a few more words: "Professor Flitwick is of plain goblin blood, right? That branch of goblins is very friendly to people, everyone I won’t kill them either. The forest goblin and the deep valley goblin are the main hunting targets. The old nut just now… Although the old goblin doesn’t have a human smell on him, he has the blood of the forest goblin. I can tell the smell as soon as I smell it !"

Snape had a sudden urge to rush into Gringotts and withdraw all his deposits.Handing over property to a group of ogre goblins... It's too unreliable!How many of the so many missing wizards disappear in the underground of Gringotts every year?

As if seeing what he was thinking, Salazar comforted: "Don't think too much, those goblins don't smell like humans, they haven't eaten humans, and there is no blood on the ground."

Snape suddenly remembered what he said in the hall before, and couldn't help but look into his eyes a few more times.Those eyes had become exactly like humans, but Snape already knew what his real body was.Regarding the feathered snake, there are very few records. It seems that only Salazar Slytherin had raised one—now he knows that the feathered snake is actually himself—as for the power of the feathered snake, no one knows up.

"I have the eyes of truth, and I can see magic power." Salazar saw his thoughts again: "I can only see magic power, not clairvoyant eyes, so don't worry about me seeing that your underwear is black."

Snape: "Oh...huh?"

Salazar who accidentally slipped the tongue: "..."

Snape with a livid face: "..."

I can't live through this day, I choose a dog leash, Lily, here I come.
