Chapter 246 Ancient Spirit Explosion (I)

Surprisingly, in Gringotts, Jane and Dumbledore met Bill Weasley who was rushing to work.

"I feel like I'm covered in the smell of class."

While Dumbledore was talking to a goblin, the eldest son of the Weasley family, who was called a curse-breaker but was actually a legal grave robber, complained to Jane in frustration, and even the earrings with fangs on his ears stopped shaking:

"How I miss the days of treasure hunting in ancient Egyptian tombs. It was tense and exciting, and there were many mummies that would pop out and scare you from time to time—"

"But now - well - this is the only way to better serve the Order of the Phoenix -"

He took a little more time to bring Jianyu to a goblin named Ragno, who seemed to specialize in serving vlP customers.

"Bill and I have made an appointment with several authority figures in the goblin society... so we won't go down to the vault with you." Dumbledore came over and said with a smile, "We are meeting the Malfoys tonight, and I think there will be a big dinner."

The goblin's attitude immediately improved after seeing Dumbledore and Jian Yu's keys:

"Miss Jane, what can I do for you today?"

"I need to save some gold Galleons and exchange them for some pounds." Jian Yu replied, "Will my vault be the safest?"

"Of course!" Ragno's voice suddenly became louder, trying his best to maintain the dignity of the goblin, "Gringotts is the safest place! The security level of your vault is also the highest!"

He opened a door leading to the underground vault for her, and the man and the fairy squeezed into the cart, and Jian Yu had to shrink the suitcase.

Like an underground miner, Jian Yu felt like he was flying through countless stalactite tunnels.

The simplified roller coaster went down all the way, turning a big corner from time to time, and suddenly went on a rapids ride when passing by the Anti-thief Waterfall.

She now understood why Gringotts was safe. At least motion sickness could screen out a group of petty thieves.

The cart stopped at the deepest place. Jian Yu could hear the heavy breathing of the fire dragon coming from next door. The rumbling sound echoed in the cave, causing the cart to vibrate.

"Surprise!"

A familiar voice sounded in front of her right, and when Jian Yu looked closely she was stunned!

It was a woman's face, now filled with excitement. Its lion-like body was slowly standing up from a crouching position, and its tail, which had been swinging on the ground out of boredom, was now raised high.

That was the Sphinx she had encountered in the third task of the Triwizard Tournament!

"You have to answer its questions," Ragnor panted. "It was brought by Mr. Dumbledore, who claimed that he wanted to guard your vault."

"I am completely willing!" The Sphinx jumped twice like a big cat. "You don't have to answer my questions. Please ask me as many questions as you want, Master!"

Jian Yu didn't understand why it loved itself so much and brought trouble upon itself.

Perhaps it was the Triwizard Tournament that gave it some special habits that were different from its peers.

"Please prove that any even number greater than or equal to 6 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers?"

The Sphinx fell to the ground again, holding its head with its two front paws, and cried heartbrokenly.

"Ah - how painful - and there is no solution, what kind of mystery is this - it's useless -"

Ragno walked past the crying animal and put his hand on the vault door. The door disappeared little by little, revealing a hole.

But it was not empty inside. Instead, it was filled with many magic props, which was due to Dumbledore's money power.

"Miss Jane, you have raised a lot of Nifflers."

The fairy's eyes became straight when he saw Jian Yu taking out the Sniffers one by one, scratching his belly and blowing out the gold coins, and he paused:

"Oh - a good helper for treasure hunting - a pet for every curse-breaker -"

Jian Yu stuffed the dissatisfied squeaking Nifflers back into the box and walked out of the vault door.

But the Sphinx at the door was obviously reluctant to leave her and kept rubbing its tail against her. Jian Yu had to flick the restless tail off again and again.

"The underground is terrible." It lay down sadly. "It smells like a stupid dragon. It's like a desert without knowledge."

Jian Yu had no choice but to stuff a copy of "History of Magic" under its belly.

The Sphinx jumped up happily and started flipping through the book with its big paws.

"Why isn't my vault guarded by a dragon?"

Jian Yu couldn't help but look at the unrefined Sphinx with some disdain, and then glanced at the passage on the left.

It was guarded by a fire dragon, whose wings were stretched out vigorously, bringing up gusts of damp and hot wind from the underground.

It looked like it wanted to fight the Sphinx, or maybe swallow her and the goblin together.

"Don't go near it." Ragno looked very nervous. "That's not your vault. We don't have any jingles - it won't be scared -"

But he was too late to say these words, for the adult dragon noticed them, turned around, and swept its great spiked tail across the wall so hard that the entire deepest layer of the ground shook violently, as if there was an earthquake.

"It doesn't matter," Ragueneau continued, "they are chained, and as long as you don't go through--"

But the fire dragon's performance seemed to be beyond his expectations. It kept hitting the wall with its tail, and cracks appeared one after another in the passage!

Then the cracks exploded, and large pieces of stalactites and overwhelming soil rushed towards her and the fairy. The cart was broken and the track on the ground was distorted.

"Help—the fire dragon is out of control—"

Ragno screamed and tried to stand up and run away, but after a dizzy spell, he fell heavily to the ground; Jian Yu had to hold on to the stone pillar beside him and cast several Armor Spells on himself to ensure his safety.

The passage had been completely destroyed and opened. Jian Yu could see the full appearance of the fire dragon. Its vicious pink eyes looked half-blind, its wings fully spread, and it had smashed cracks in the walls of the surrounding vaults. Its scales were loose and curled due to lack of care, its claws were long and bent, its legs were locked in shackles, and its body was covered with scars from being chopped by the fairy's sword - another Ukrainian Iron Belly!

Its eyes were fixed on Ragnor. When enemies meet, their eyes are full of hatred. When it saw that the goblin didn't have the sword in his hand that reminded it of the painful sound of being chopped by a sword, a deep hatred filled its heart.

It suddenly spewed a large mouthful of fire at the fairy Ragno in an attempt to kill it, which almost harmed Jian Yu who was standing by, so she had to quickly pull Ragno away.

But the vault door behind her was in trouble!
