Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs - Chapter 742

c83 A proud dragon has regrets

However, neither Voldemort nor the Death Eaters and goblins behind him noticed that a white fire dragon head was slowly floating in the magma.

Even in the magma, the fire dragon’s scales allowed it to persist for a long time without turning into charcoal, but the black color had begun to spread on the fire dragon’s scales.

Just when burning red dots appeared on the black edge, a man emerged from the fire dragon’s mouth.

That was Lu Ke.

He jumped up, grabbed the cliff wall with both hands, left the magma, and climbed up.

Finally, he found a protruding rock on the rock wall and stopped on it to rest.

Just then, the little man in the bottle appeared from the sky.

He floated in front of Lu Ke’s eyes calmly and quietly.

Lu Ke glanced at the little man in the bottle and smiled.

…

Inside the hall of Gringotts.

Voldemort stood in front of the goblins, looking down at them.

“I think I need an explanation…”

There was a smile on his face, but his tone was full of danger.

“You said that Gringotts’ vault is the safest place in the wizarding world…”

The goblins were frightened.

But fortunately they had anticipated it.

“We can explain, Dark Lord!”

Voldemort nodded: “Explain.”

The goblins quickly pushed Griphook out.

“He was the one who forged the key, colluded with the wizard, and betrayed Gringotts!”

Voldemort looked at Griphook who was bound and unable to open his mouth and nodded: “A traitor…”

He nodded: “Let him speak.”

With fear, the goblins removed the rope that silenced Griphook.

Griphook stood in front of Voldemort and spoke without hesitation: “I am here for you, Dark Lord!”

Voldemort couldn’t help but laugh.

This is equivalent to a sudden change in a frequently watched play, which is a surprise.

He looked at Griphook and nodded: “To disappoint me?”

Griphook shook his head: “I originally wanted to trick Gryffindor’s sword into my hands!”

Voldemort nodded.

His heart was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface, because Voldemort knew very well that the only thing that could destroy the Horcrux now was Gryffindor’s sword.

If the sword is in his hand, the Horcrux is absolutely safe.

“Where is the sword?”

Griphook was speechless for a moment.

But if he doesn’t answer, an impatient Voldemort will kill him.

“In Lu Ke’s hands!”

“Because you arrived in time, Lu Ke didn’t have time to escape, and now the sword is at your fingertips!”

For a moment, the hall fell into dead silence.

The goblins and Death Eaters remained silent.

They all knew that Voldemort’s anger must be extinguished with blood.

Now everyone’s desire is that Griphook’s blood is enough to calm Voldemort.

At this moment, the little man in the bottle suddenly appeared next to Voldemort.

“It didn’t appear. It has turned into magma.”

After the little man in the bottle said expressionlessly, Voldemort exploded.

He raised his wand and pointed it at Griphook: “Avada Kadawa!”

A flash of green lightning flashed, and Griphook fell to the ground helplessly.

Voldemort looked up with a sneer: “Being smart…do I need Gryffindor’s sword?”

“I’m a wizard, not a Muggle who needs to wield a sword to fight!”

Then his eyes swept over the other goblins.

“Where’s my vault key?”

The goblins looked at each other, and finally the one standing at the front was pushed in front of Voldemort: “It should also be in Lu Ke’s hand, along with the long sword. Griphook saw it before…”

Voldemort raised his wand with a cold expression: “Avada Kadawa!”

Then the goblin also fell to the ground.

“Why should I have a vault at Gringotts?”

“For safety, that’s what you promised.”

Voldemort looked up at the ceiling of the hall.

On it are extremely gorgeous golden lines depicting the legendary stories of fairies.

“It turned out my keys were stolen and the vault was opened.”

Voldemort lowered his head and glanced over the goblins: “Of course, this can also be said that I lost my key. I was a failure. The problem is…”

As he spoke, he took out another golden key from his pocket: “Why was my key replaced?”

“Who made such a key?”

The goblins lowered their heads together, trembling.

Of course they know the answer, they just know more clearly what the consequences will be if they tell the answer.

Voldemort suddenly raised his voice and shouted to the goblins: “Answer me!”

Finally, the goblin closest to him responded shakily: “Griphook…forged.”

Voldemort nodded: “That’s what I guess…”

“Avada Kadawa!”

…

Lu Ke slowly climbed up from under the abyss.

In front of the deepest Gringotts vault, the only foothold he could find was an upright cliff. He hung on it with terrifying strength and slowly climbed up with difficulty.

I don’t know how long it took, but Lu Ke still hadn’t reached the first vault dug on the cliff.

Countless bricks, wood, earth and rocks fell from the abyss like a landslide, pouring down into the magma, splashing countless sparks, and burning heat waves rose into the sky.

Lu Ke carefully huddled under a depression, watching this scene, a smile flashed in his heart.

Voldemort finally did it.

Although it was expected, this matter was so important that Lu Ke was still very surprised when it came true.

After all, this is Gringotts.

Judging from the falling debris, the entire Gringotts has been razed to the ground.

I don’t know how many pure-blood families’ long-standing wealth has been buried in the vault forever. Maybe Voldemort thought that he could open all the vaults without goblins: or that would be just right, in that case no one would know how much he had taken. Wealth that is not yours.

Lu Ke was thinking wildly in his mind and waited until the collapse was over before continuing to climb up slowly.

In fact, it would be faster to fly up as a fire dragon at this time, but in order to prevent Death Eaters from leaving guards, he still chose the slowest method.

After a long time, Lu Ke finally arrived at the first vault. After resting for a while on the stone platform, Lu Ke began to run wildly on the rails where the mine carts ran.

Soon, Lu Ke came to the entrance of the abyss.

The place was in a mess. The once glorious Gringotts hall was only a ruin. The towering dome collapsed, leaving only ruins.

There were no Death Eater guards, and no goblins survived. There was blood spreading under the broken bricks.

Lu Ke sighed silently, and then walked out of the ruins.

Diagon Alley was deserted, even the Death Eaters who had been wandering here had disappeared.

Lu Ke walked out of Diagon Alley and left through the Leaky Cauldron.
