Chapter 176 Deng's Past and Ge's Future



Just as Dumbledore was stunned, he heard the goblin continue:

"Although the item has been taken away, so there is no loss. However, Vault 713 was stolen, and we at Gringotts are still responsible. If you request, we at Gringotts are willing to make compensation."

Hearing the goblin's words, Wentworth couldn't help but curl his lips subconsciously, thinking to himself: "What an insincere apology."

Dumbledore responded: "We will talk about the compensation later. Elder, please make the arrangements. We want to go to the vault to take a look!"

"Of course, it is your right, Button. You take Dumbledore and this young gentleman to the underground vault."

The goblin with the cane gave instructions to the goblin who was supporting him, and finally said to Dumbledore:

"If you need anything else, you can ask Button. If he can't do it, you can come to me directly!"

Then, Dumbledore and Wentworth walked out, led by the goblin button.

Looking back at the old goblin who was still standing there, Wentworth whispered to Dumbledore: "Principal Dumbledore, that goblin..."

But before Wentworth could finish his words, Dumbledore quietly put his finger to his lips, signaling Wentworth not to speak.

Then, Wentworth was surprised to find that a line of words appeared out of thin air in front of him, which read:

All problems, keep them in your heart.

When Wentworth saw the words left by Dumbledore out of thin air, he suddenly felt that this magnificent Gringotts seemed to have a little more mystery.

Soon, under the leadership of the goblin Buttons, Wentworth and Dumbledore first arrived at Vault 713 of Gringotts. It was not long since the last time Wentworth came here. At that time, Hagrid took the Philosopher's Stone from this vault.

Dumbledore looked around Vault 713 carefully but said nothing. Instead, he said to the goblin Button: "Excuse me, we also want to go to Vault 714."

Seeing Button's confused and puzzled expression, Dumbledore pointed to Wentworth beside him and said, "This is a descendant of their family. I'll accompany him to get something!"

After hearing Dumbledore's introduction, Button suddenly understood something and said to the two of them very respectfully: "I am happy to serve you two."

Later, when Wentworth and Dumbledore came to Vault 714 again, Wentworth used his own blood to open the door of Vault 714.

As soon as he opened the door, Wentworth subconsciously looked in the direction where he had left the note, and then his heart trembled, because the note had been flipped! Wentworth looked at Dumbledore, and Dumbledore even drew his wand. This action made the button behind Dumbledore say in surprise:

"What do you want?"

Dumbledore responded very politely: "Nothing, it's just that there are some secrets hidden in this vault, so I'm sorry, it's not convenient for others to see it!"

As Dumbledore spoke, he pushed Wentworth and then entered Vault 714. Finally, with a slight wave of Dumbledore's hand, a stream of light like a waterfall slowly fell from the top of Vault 714, isolating the button outside.

When all this was done, Dumbledore and Wentworth both looked at the note left by Wentworth.

However, just as Wentworth was about to step forward to open the note, he was stopped by Dumbledore.

"Stop the curse immediately!"

Seeing that the note still had no reaction after two spells, Dumbledore finally let go of Wentworth's arm and signaled Wentworth that it was okay.

Seeing Dumbledore's series of actions, Wentworth couldn't help but feel ashamed, thinking that there must be a reason why Dumbledore could live so long.

Even Dumbledore had to be so careful, but when he first saw the note, he opened it without any precautions. If someone really left an evil curse on it, even if there were many powerful wizards standing behind him, it would be too late to save him.

While reflecting on himself, Wentworth walked forward and opened the note, only to see a few more letters beneath his original message. However, these letters formed a word that he had long overlooked - the Prophecy Skull!

Seeing this, Wentworth was shocked and couldn't help muttering:

"We were wrong. We were wrong from the very beginning!"

At the same time, a memory that had long been forgotten by Wentworth came to his mind again.

It was the night when he had just traveled through time. A group of unknown wizards broke into Wentworth's house and tortured Wentworth's original body with the Cruciatus Curse, which gave Su Xinghe the opportunity to travel through time.

At that time, what the group of wizards had been asking about was the prophecy skull!

Although Rosier and others did not give up looking for each other afterwards, soon, with the start of the Hogwarts school, assassination attempts against them occurred one after another around them. Everyone, including Wentworth, always believed that they were the same group of people.

However, through the message on this note, Wentworth suddenly realized that the group of wizards who broke into his house on the night he traveled through time were not the same group as Christine and others later!

Thinking of this, Wentworth felt a chill all over his body, followed by an indescribable anger: "Who do you think I am? Tang Monk's meat? Anyone want to take a bite?!"

At this moment, Dumbledore's voice came to Wentworth's ears:

"Wentworth, what are you thinking about?"

Wentworth came back to his senses after hearing Dumbledore's voice. Looking at Dumbledore beside him, the chill in Wentworth's body dissipated a little. Wentworth breathed a sigh of relief and thought: At least I am safe now.

Afterwards, Wentworth did not hide it and directly handed the note in his hand to Dumbledore. However, Wentworth did not tell Dumbledore everything he knew. Instead, he asked:

"Principal Dumbledore, what is this prophecy skull? Why have I never seen it before? There doesn't seem to be any skull-shaped objects in this vault!"

Hearing Wentworth's question, Dumbledore was silent for a moment, as if he was recalling something, and then he slowly said: "The Prophecy Skull is a magical item of your grandfather. It has the ability to present the future to you!"

Then, Dumbledore paused, and finally said slowly: "I have the Pensieve, which can see into the past, and your grandfather has the Prophecy Skull, which can see into the future!"
