Chapter 44: How did the magical world become like this? That morning, not long after Gringotts opened, Quirrell and Voldemort came to Gringotts. Voldemort explained to Quirrell again how they were going to break into Gringotts today. "You pretend to be conducting business and find a high-ranking goblin in Gringotts. Then I will control your body and use the Imperius Curse to have it take us to the underground vault." "It's that simple. Have you brought all the gold galleons?" Quirrell nodded nervously, gripping the purse at his waist with extra force. In order to carry out Voldemort's plan to break into Gringotts and seize the Philosopher's Stone, he mortgaged all his current assets through the black market overnight and borrowed a large number of gold Galleons. Thinking of the interest on black market loans, Quirrell's heart bleeds. But thinking again that this was a sacrifice for the great return of his master, Quirrell felt that it was all worth it. When Voldemort returns, he will definitely receive unimaginable rewards! Besides, these goblins in Gringotts would never have imagined in their dreams that Voldemort would personally break into Gringotts. How else could this be? nonexistent!
Thinking of this, Quirrell calmed down, stepped into Gringotts, took out his purse and shook it, then said to the goblins. "I want to handle a big business, and I need your lobby manager." When the goblins saw Quirrell, especially Quirrell's big turban, there was a cold look in their eyes. The guy with the big turban looked like this last night! The note the thief left yesterday clearly said that he would enter Gringotts under the moonlight to retrieve the treasure, but now he is coming in the daytime? It seems that the letter was meant to paralyze Gringotts and make them relax their guard during the day! He is indeed a cunning thief, not a single word he says can be trusted! The lobby manager of Gringotts came over quickly, with no clue on his face, and spoke to Quirrell enthusiastically. "Dear guest, congratulations. This transaction is the one hundred thousandth transaction Gringotts has received this year." "In order to give back to new and old customers, Gringotts has decided to give you an underground vault for free. You can choose the location, and it will be free forever!" "Would you like to come and pick one with me now?" Hearing this, Quirrell was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart. The underground vault in Gringotts is not cheap and is very rare. Those who can own an underground vault here are either from an ancient family or are rich and powerful. Although Quirrell was an outstanding graduate of Hogwarts, he had not been able to build an underground vault in Gringotts over the years. He never thought that he would be so lucky today, to be able to get it as a gift, and for free forever?! The most important thing is, has the crucial step in breaking into Gringotts - entering the underground vault - been solved just like that? This is so lucky! Quirrell couldn't help but say to Voldemort in his heart. "Master, we are so lucky. Now it will be effortless to get the Philosopher's Stone!" "This must be the luck that my master has brought me by temporarily staying in my body. Great master, great Dark Lord!" Voldemort said calmly. "Okay, look at your useless look, an underground vault makes you so excited." "Once I have rebuilt my body, it will be easy for me to give you the treasury of an ancient family, let alone an underground treasury." "Quick, let the goblin take you into the underground vault."
When Quirrell heard Voldemort's promise, he was so grateful that he burst into tears and quickly followed the lobby manager of Gringotts to the underground vault. At this time, the goblins on the side also surrounded Quirrell and walked down. Qi Luo was still sighing in his heart. "Is this the VIP treatment at Gringotts?" "It is truly a wonderful experience for those wealthy and powerful wizards to be surrounded by such people every time they come." "But soon, I will also be part of the most powerful and richest wizards!" Soon, riding on the goblins' rail car, Quirrell arrived at the entrance of the underground vault. Here, a group of goblins are ready for battle. At first, Quirrell thought that these goblins were there to greet him as a lucky customer, and he nodded to them. But the next moment, at the end of the passage, a huge figure crawled through, and it was emitting a burning sensation before it got close. This was the Ukrainian Iron Belly that guarded the underground vault of Gringotts, and it was led out by the goblins! When Qi Luo saw this scene, he looked flattered. "Such a big battle?" "Gringotts' hospitality is truly grand." However, the next moment, the goblins looked at Quirrell with cold sneers and ridicule. "You idiot." "You don't really think we are here to greet you and give you an expensive underground vault?" There was a fierce look in their eyes. "Today, you will die in the basement of Gringotts, buried in the dragon's belly!" Hearing these words, Quirrell was stunned, and Voldemort who was possessed by Quirrell was also stunned. No, that’s not how the script goes! What the hell is going on?! Quirrell exclaimed in a trembling voice. "Master, our plan has been exposed?" Voldemort reacted very quickly and rebuked Quirrell in a decisive tone. "nonsense!" "The plan was decided on at the last minute. I didn't expect that Gringotts would be invaded so soon. How could the goblins in Gringotts know about this?" "Could it be that I leaked the secret to Gringotts?" "It seems that there is only one answer..." "Grillotts goblins, are you trying to kill us for money?!"
Qi Luo let out an "ah" in surprise. "Killing for money?" "Gringotts to me?" "Master, this, this is not right." Voldemort said coldly. "What else could it be?" "Besides, these guys are goblins, greedy goblins. What can't they do for gold galleons?" At this time, before Quirrell and Voldemort could say anything, rays of magic light burst out from the hands of the goblins and whizzed towards Quirrell. Qi Luo's scalp tingled. He is indeed a pretty good wizard, but there is no way he can withstand the siege of so many goblins. At this point, Voldemort directly took over Quirrell's body. With a wave of the magic wand, terrifying magical power was released. Anger was boiling in his chest. "It's only been a dozen years since I left the wizarding world, and Dumbledore and his students have slandered me behind my back, even claiming that all my magic was plagiarized from him. It's so shameless." "I heard before that a dark wizard was conducting human experiments wantonly and killed dozens of people, but the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic were helpless." "Now Gringotts is actually willing to trick customers into its underground vault and murder them for less than a thousand Galleons..." "How the hell has the wizarding world become like this?"
