Journey through the Worlds from the Wilderness

Chapter 355 The Gringotts Theft

The Three Broomsticks is one of the signatures of Hogsmeade Village, why is it one of them?That's because Hogsmeade is full of signs.

As the only village in the UK that is entirely composed of wizards adjacent to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Hogsmeade Village stipulates in the Hogwarts school regulations that only students in the third grade and above can go to the village during the break time. There, and there must be a signed permission from the guardian.

Such regulations naturally have their own intentions. After all, little wizards in the third grade have almost completely accepted the wizarding world, not to mention pure-blood wizards and half-blood wizards, even Muggle-born wizards are the same.

Of course, these hidden things can't hide the interestingness of Hogsmeade itself.

There are many signature shops in Hogsmeade Village, and the most famous and loved by little wizards is naturally Honeydukes Candy Shop.

Honeydukes Candy Shop sells a variety of mouth-watering candies, such as frankincense nougat and hundreds of chocolates. In addition to these 'simple' delicacies, those delicious and fun 'special effect' candies , are extremely interesting, such as the Chuibao Super Bubble Gum that can fill the house with blue bubbles, the weird and easily broken Buttercup Tooth Mints, and the black pepper urchin that can help people breathe fire. After eating it, it feels like it is in the stomach. There are also lively butter mints, and blood-flavored lollipops with unusual flavors.

In addition to the candy store, Deweys Bans who repairs magic items, Fengya wizard clothing store that sells all kinds of clothing and socks, there are also shops such as Owl Post Office, Literary Habitat Quill Shop, Screaming Shack and Pig's Head Bar .

After stepping into Hogsmeade Village, Gao Feng felt that he had a new understanding of the wonders of the wizarding world. He stopped outside the Honeydukes Candy Store. He was going to go in and buy some weird flavored beans. This kind of interesting snack is really delicious. Make him a little obsessed.

"Van Gogh! You are so slow, follow up!" Tonks waved his hand as he stepped back, shaking his cotton candy-like pink hair with a cheerful smile on his face.

"Coming!" Gao Feng smiled, and glanced at the dazzling array of candies behind the window, it seems that he can only come again later.

The purpose of coming to Hogsmeade with Tonks is naturally butter beer, and Tonks thinks that the most authentic butter beer is the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade.

Compared with the dirty Pig's Head Bar, the Three Broomsticks Bar is much more stunning. When you open the door and enter, the welcoming bells jingle on the door, and the wooden tables and chairs are shiny under the slightly dim light. The arrangement of cool colors gives people a warm feeling, making the guests here feel comfortable and warm.

This is obviously not an orthodox wizard's bar, otherwise, according to the scene in the 'false memory', there must be a noisy atmosphere after opening the door, bragging and spanking under the influence of alcohol is not just a Muggle practice.

So this place is obviously a restaurant-style bar opened by young wizards who have not graduated from Hogwarts, and the main focus is a relaxed and lively atmosphere.

"Two glasses of butterbeer, two pieces of strawberry cheesecake, and one more snowball ice cream." Tonks sat down at the dining table by the wall familiarly, greeting Gao Feng with a light and authentic tone.

"Okay, please wait a moment!" The smiling waitress immediately nodded when she heard the words.

"Wait." Gao Feng suddenly stopped the female messenger, and said to Tonks, "Do you want some food, Tonks?"

"Isn't that enough?" Tonks was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed, pretending to be angry: "Also, call me Dora!"

"Okay, Dora." Gao Feng smiled, then looked at the waiting waitress, and said politely: "Please order a portion of the shop's signboard, plus other snacks to go with the meal, let's go with it." .”

"One for all? Sir, are you sure?" The waitress asked hesitantly after hearing the words.

"Are you sure, why? Do I need to repeat it again?" Gao Feng asked suspiciously.

The waitress immediately apologized after hearing the words: "I'm sorry, sir, I will immediately notify the back kitchen to prepare. Please wait with this lady for a while."

Gao Feng nodded noncommittally, and then looked at Tonks across the table, only to see her serious face, extremely serious.

"Haha! What's wrong with you?" Gao Feng asked with a smile and raised eyebrows.

"Oh! I figured it out, you're planning to trick me!" Tonks stared thoughtfully into his bright black eyes, and pointed at Gao Feng with his fingers.

"Huh?" Gao Feng was startled for a moment, then understood the situation, shook his head with a smile, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and sighed: "Oh! You actually saw what I was thinking! Failure!"

"Hmph!" Hearing this, Tonks raised his chin triumphantly, and snorted, "Forget it! I'm in a good mood, so I don't care about this little money!"

After she finished speaking, she glanced at her eyebrows, and Jiaohan snorted, "It's someone's belly!"

"Ha ha! Then thank you, Miss Dora." Gao Feng said with a smile on his face, coaxing a child.

The butter beer with a layer of foam was poured into the throat against the tilted wine glass, and the unique taste bloomed on the taste buds in an instant. The fresh breath was as cool as mint, and it felt slightly cool and sweet.

"There...is no beer in this?" Gao Feng drank half of the cup in one gulp and began to savor it after it passed down his throat. Then he came to this surprising conclusion.

There's no beer in the butterbeer, it's like there's no wifey pancakes... Ugh!If you think about it this way, there's nothing wrong with it!

"I can't tell, you have a sharp tongue!" Tonks said after putting down the glass in surprise, swallowing it.

"Sharp tongue?" Gao Feng raised his eyebrows, always feeling that these words were strange.

Tonks glanced left and right like a fox who stole a chicken, then leaned forward and leaned forward in front of Gao Feng, his eyes narrowed and his thick eyelashes fluttering, and he said in a low voice, "The owner of the bar is my old friend. A drunk once spilled some butterbeer secrets to me, and that's why I say the butterbeer here is the purest, even though it's supposed to be a pub that serves butterbeer without beer in the ingredients."

"So that's how it is!" Gao Feng suddenly realized.

From his tasting comparison, he found that the so-called pure butterbeer and the fake butterbeer sold at the Leaky Cauldron were actually two different drinks. The butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks did not have a drop of alcohol in it and tasted sweet and refreshing. However, the butterbeer in the Leaky Cauldron is adulterated with alcohol. Although the concentration is extremely low, it still tastes like alcohol while not being sweet enough.

Therefore, the pure butter beer that Tonks was full of praise did not surprise him, even though it tasted really good, of course, such words cannot be said casually, especially in the face of Nymphadora Tonk s.

Tonks invited Gao Feng to drink butter beer, which was regarded as repaying the previous drink bill at the Leaky Cauldron, but this would not be the end, but a new beginning.

Walking out of the Three Broomsticks bar, the two walked together under the afterglow of the sunset.

"It looked like you wanted to buy some candy just now?" Tonks suddenly broke the silence, turned sideways and walked casually.

"Well, it is said that there are more than 200 flavors of multi-flavored beans. I am curious whether this number is accurate." Gao Feng replied with a smile.

"Okay then, let's go to Honeydukes Candy Store next, of course! It's because I want to eat some candy, and I hate all-flavored beans!" Tonks wrinkled his nose and said emphatically .

"Of course, Dora! I didn't think much about it, ha ha!" Gao Feng said with a straight face, but couldn't help laughing immediately.

……

Just as darkness covered the sky and night fell, Gringotts, the pure white building built between Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, suddenly became noisy.

boom! ! ~
The sound of explosions suddenly came along with the mirror-like floor of the Gringotts hall arching, and there was a sudden explosion. Countless broken stones were scattered and rattled, and the gravel and smoke were carelessly rendered, and then they were instantly burned into ashes by the hot flames.

Boom! ! ——

The ceiling followed closely behind, and was bombarded and shattered by the scorching dragon's breath, and the gravel fell down, causing a crackling sound.

Roar! ! ——

The fire dragon roared, and the breath of the dragon gushed out one after another, towards the figures that fled from the cracks in the floor and turned into dazzling white light.

Crash!Boom! ~
The angry fire dragon stretched out its long snake-like neck, and its furious roar shattered the windows of Gringotts, but it was finally restrained by magic shackles, and the strong chains pulled the flying fire dragon down. , the huge body destroyed three thirds of the Gringotts hall.

"Catch them! Catch them! Don't let anyone go!" The white-haired old goblin from Gringotts crawled out from behind the table. He didn't care about sorting out his own embarrassment. He raised his face and raised his arms towards the broken pieces. Pointing at the ceiling that was cracked into irregular holes, a sharp roar came out.

After hearing this order, the goblin in the scarlet guard uniform had a tangled face. He was determined to adhere to his superior's order, but also helpless and helpless. He was a little at a loss.

At this moment, several black shadows suddenly turned into black mist from the hiding place and rose into the sky. The undisguised black magic aura was like a burst of freezing rain, cleaning Gringotts in an instant, causing the panicked goblins to return immediately. Come to your senses, remembering the power they bowed their heads to.

The white-haired goblin with a face deeply marked by the years also seemed to suddenly think of something, his eyes widened suddenly, and thoughts appeared in his mind.

Now that Voldemort has disappeared for more than ten years, he suddenly emerged last year and announced his return by invading the Ministry of Magic. Most wizards in the British wizarding world are therefore in danger. Countless people have fled the UK in panic due to his ferocious power. Therefore, they dare to There are naturally very few people who can fight against it, and the one who bears the brunt of it is undoubtedly the greatest white wizard of this century - Dumbledore!
Therefore, it can be simply speculated that those who broke into Gringotts and stole something from Bellatrix Lestrange's treasure house could only be the elite wizard forces under Dumbledore—— Order of the Phoenix!
The old goblin turned pale with fright, and immediately turned around and left in a panic. After the panic, he no longer knew where he had fled and hid.

Voldemort threatened with fear, while Dumbledore intimidated with prestige. Although the two were completely different, one thing was unified, that is, they both possessed invincible power, which meant that anyone who offended anyone could Anyone who provokes them cannot maintain a calm mind no matter what, and before all dangers come, running away is the choice of most people.

At the same time, the members of the Order of the Phoenix who participated in this theft found that the enemy was chasing behind them, and they fled faster. Even though they were not afraid of confronting the Death Eaters, they also inherited Dumbledore's philosophy and were willing to escape. Died in the fight against Voldemort, but it was a serious matter, and there was no room for error.

So they just hope to get away as soon as possible, and are too lazy to pester them.

"Okay! You can use Apparition!" The person leading the Order of the Phoenix operation this time was Alastor Moody, known as 'Mad Eye'. At this moment, he suddenly raised his palm and made a gesture. shouted at the same time.

The exquisite and accurate magic transmitted his voice tenaciously in the bitter wind, and in the next moment he directly turned into a vortex and disappeared without a trace.

Several members of the Order of the Phoenix following Alastor Moody also performed Apparition one after another, and their figures disappeared into the space vortex. Seeing this, the Death Eaters chasing behind them fired bright and dangerous magic beams like lightning, but they It only caused more icy turbulence in the air, but as for the people in the Order of the Phoenix, not even a hair was hurt.

"Damn it?! This one will definitely be killed!" Seeing the members of the Order of the Phoenix flee, the Death Eater riding on the broom immediately panicked and yelled in fear.

"Don't worry, since they have entered Lestrange's treasure house, they will definitely touch the magic inside, and we can use this to track them down." Another Death Eater calmly analyzed.

He glanced at the other Death Eater, who immediately cast a Tracking Charm, but then failed.

"It's over! It's really over this time!~" Seeing this, the Death Eater couldn't hold it anymore, his whole mind collapsed instantly, and he turned around on the broom and flew out, as if he didn't want to sit still and wait for death. Fighting—well, the last fight by running away.

laugh! ~
At this moment, a scarlet magic beam suddenly shot over, hitting the Death Eater's back precisely. The Death Eater's figure froze in mid-air, and then fell towards the ground like a parabola. down.

Immediately there was another floating spell, and the falling Death Eater gradually slowed down and flew over from there.

"You..." The Death Eater who was still able to remain calm was horrified when he saw this. He immediately distanced himself from the Death Eater who still looked calm after doing this, stared at him closely, and tightened his sleeves. The magic wand is always ready to use offense instead of defense.

"Voldemort hates traitors, and he will reward us for punishing traitors... If nothing happened to the treasure house." The Death Eater with a cold expression said so lightly.

Then suddenly the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, looked at the guarding companion, and said with a light smile: "But it is not irreparable, especially after this incident! Whether there will be rewards is uncertain, but our lives must be Keep it, as long as we report to Voldemort that there are spies among the Death Eaters, that's enough!"
