Kapitel 124: Chapter 124 Goblin Holding a Gun
Gringotts, Vault 1273.
Vault 1273 has always been Lockhart's vault. Even though Lockhart had taken away all the wealth in the vault before, he still retained it as long as he paid the treasury fee.
At this moment, there was no one in the vault. Suddenly, a sparking portal quietly emerged. Then, Lockhart walked out first, followed by Goblin Nott and the house-elf Coffy. Coffy, once again seeing the strange spell cast by his master, had eyes filled with curiosity. However, the basic quality of being a house-elf is that you cannot disturb your master, and naturally, will not ask questions.
When Lockhart saw everyone coming in, he waved his hand, and the portal closed. Seeing the silver-white walls and empty floors all around, he nodded with satisfaction. This is the safe place he had first prepared—a vault that has been firmly closed. Who would have thought that he would be here?
He knew that the goblins of Gringotts cast a large-scale anti-Apparition spell for safety to prevent wizards from sneaking into the Gringotts vault through spatial spells. However, this could not imprison Kamar Taj's teleportation magic in the Marvel world. Even if the principle of the anti-Apparition spell is to disrupt space fluctuations, making it impossible for the wizard to teleport, Kamar Taj's teleportation magic is based on the power of Vishanti. Although it is a bit more consuming to use and even a little jerky, it definitely does not affect its use.
Then, Lockhart took out the parchment map again and firmly imprinted the route in his mind. Looking at the treasury door, he told Coffy to take care of his body and Goblin Nott. He then found a corner in the vault, leaned against the silver-white wall, and sat down cross-legged. He put his hands on his knees, concentrated his thoughts in his mind, and visualized a mysterious, complex, and intricate rune pattern. The magic power flowed, and it seemed to be calling, resonating with something!
Then, suddenly, "Astral body projection!"
Lockhart's soul flew out of his body. Looking at his ghostly and transparent soul body, he smiled with satisfaction. Then, his thoughts turned, and he manifested a solid form of his soul body so that ordinary living beings could see it with the naked eye.
"Master, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Seeing the sudden appearance of Lockhart's soul, especially the ghost-like body, Coffy asked loudly in panic. He had encountered this state before, where the owner dies and turns into a ghost. This made him feel very panicked.
"Coffy, calm down!" Looking at the panicked Coffy, Lockhart opened his mouth, and his voice reached Coffy's ears through magical resonance. "I don't have any problems. This is my soul. You can take care of my body now and wait for my soul to return."
Hearing the familiar voice ringing in his ears, the panicked Coffy calmed down and hurried to Lockhart's side, looking fully alert.
"Coffy, wait for my return." Seeing this, Lockhart praised him, turned around, and flew towards the door.
Buzz! The soul's passage through the thick door of the vault was not as easy as Lockhart had imagined. It may have something to do with the vault door being made of magical materials. But the impact was not significant. He mobilized more soul power and still managed to pass through. Turning around and looking back at the light golden door of his vault, Lockhart became more confident in his plan.
Then, according to the map the goblin drew in his memory, Lockhart flew towards Bellatrix's vault. Because Bellatrix's treasury belongs to the relatively precious wizard family inheritance treasury—in other words, it is the Lestrange family inheritance treasury that she controlled after marrying into the Lestrange family—it is at the bottom of Gringotts' vault, while his vault is in the middle and upper levels, a little far away. But he was not in a hurry. According to his soul power, he could maintain the state of astral projection for a whole day without any problems.
Lockhart wandered along the map route while looking at the surrounding vaults. To be honest, he now had the urge to enter a vault and start his own zero-dollar purchase plan. Unfortunately, he didn't know who owned these vaults. If someone later discovered that the wealth was missing, they would report it to Gringotts. It would be bad if it aroused the other party's vigilance.
The magic power of the Harry Potter world is not as powerful as that of the Marvel world, but when it comes to the level of mystery, the magic of the Harry Potter world is not weak. If some wizard or goblin really found traces through a certain method, it would be really troublesome. He had many plans later, all of which relied on astral projection. Being restricted in this way is really not worth the gain.
Suddenly! Lockhart saw a dozen goblins dressed in crimson clothes, who looked like guards, with serious faces, riding five or six small carts, sliding along the iron rope to the depths of the vault. This was not surprising. What surprised Lockhart was that these goblins actually had pistols on their waists!
Yes, Lockhart watched it over and over again. He discovered that these goblins were carrying magic items similar to pistols on their waists, and the leader even had a wand on his waist. This made Lockhart feel a little uncomfortable.
He wasn't surprised to see someone with a gun in the Muggle world. But seeing a goblin holding a gun in the wizarding world is surprising enough. And a goblin holding a gun is enough to surprise or even scare a wizard. According to the previous contract signed by the goblins as the losers, they are not allowed to possess wands and various destructive magic items. Although over time, the restrictions on magic items have been weakened a lot, wands are still taboo for goblins—wizards will never allow any goblin to hold a wand.
And what does Lockhart see now? The leading goblin held a wand, followed by a group of goblins carrying magical items similar to firearms on their waists. Lockhart was not surprised by the wand. After all, every living thing would find a way to survive for itself. Like the goblins of Gringotts, they almost control the entire monetary system of the wizarding world. Although they are supervised by the Ministry of Magic, they will never give up the exploration of force.
But magical items similar to firearms shocked Lockhart. This means goblins are definitely involved in the Muggle world! Otherwise, magic items similar to firearms would never appear. Lockhart, an alchemist, said that if he wanted to refine magic items similar to firearms, he must be familiar with a large number of firearms and the principles contained in them. Even magic items like this, which are full of certain technological content, require a lot of exploration. And the research time will not be short. Only in this way can technology and magic be compatible.
And now he sees goblins using them in large numbers. What does this mean? On the one hand, goblins have evil intentions. Goblins and Muggles definitely have a deep connection. This made Lockhart feel uneasy.
As a wizard, he naturally has to consider things from the wizard's point of view. And in a war, what will happen to the loser? It can be witnessed one by one through the history of magic. The worst thing is the house-elves. Just like Coffy now, they will be enslaved by wizards forever. And the best result is just like the goblins before. Don't look at the goblins now. But the goblins at that time were forced to stop using wands, give up all force, and were also forced to provide services to wizards.
Speaking of service, it just sounds nice. In fact, it still plays a role similar to that of a slave, but it is not as restrictive as a house-elf.
The scene before him gave Lockhart a headache. He had to give up the idea of going to Bellatrix's vault for the time being and followed these goblins to find out their power.
