The door disappeared little by little, and a cave-like vault appeared in front of them. Hermione had once read fairy tales and imagined what a vault guarded by a dragon would look like. The scene in front of her was very much in line with her imagination.
Gold, silver, and jewels were piled up like mountains. Exquisite tableware was placed all over the floor. Strange and precious fossils of magical creatures were suspended in the air. Below them were antique armors that looked very valuable.
How rich... George scooped a pot of water from a large wooden barrel and poured it on a pile of gold cups near him.
"Whoosh..." White mist rose from the gold cups. After a while, the white mist dissipated by itself.
George carefully touched the gold cups and tried to pick them up. "The spell has been removed!
This water works! "
"This is indeed an excellent security measure!" Fred praised.
"Thank you very much." Can shook the key silently and walked to the round hall. It would rather stay with a dragon than see these demons.
Seeing the girl standing in the middle of the round hall trying to communicate with the dragon, Can slapped its head. It had almost forgotten that there was a demon leader here.
"Anna!"
Hermione ran around Can and asked Anna, "Do you know what's special about that gold cup?"
"Uh..." Anna began to try to recall the original book. Since it was Hufflepuff's gold cup, it must have her mark. "There's a badger pattern!
Two handles, very small... It should be in a higher place! "
Hermione quickly ran to continue the search with the twins.
Anna turned around and looked at the cowering dragon in front of her.
"Hello," she greeted and stretched out her wand to the blue cloth bag. "Brandy, fly!
Chicken, fly! "
Pouring the brandy on the chicken, Anna glanced at the dragon from the corner of her eye. "I don't know what you like to eat, so I prepared something that the dragon should have eaten when it was young..."
She lifted the chicken and smelled it. Frowning slightly, she said, "It may smell like dung. Please don't mind..."
"No way!"
Can shook the key and covered its face. "It won't talk to you!
It won't understand at all!
It's just a stupid dragon that can only spit fire! "
"It will destroy anyone who gets close to it. I advise you not to waste your efforts!"
Hearing Can's words, Anna shrugged, stared at the dragon's pink eyes, and tried her best to be friendly by throwing the chicken near it.
"Let's be friends, shall we?" The fire dragon was indifferent.
Looking at the comparison between the size of the chicken and the fire dragon, he felt that this gift was a little too careless.
Anna pointed her wand at the chicken and said, "Grow bigger quickly!" Using the Expansion Spell, the chicken grew to the size of a cow and finally attracted the fire dragon's attention.
Realizing that his words went into Anna's ears and out of her ears, he pulls the key and turns back to the vault. He doesn't care about her anymore. He'd better go in and wash his eyes with the gold.
The jingling sound of the keys weakened as the can entered the vault. Anna put the key in her hand down by her feet and raised her hand to indicate that she was not a threat. "Do me the honor of eating chicken?"
According to the known facts, such as the bowtruckle helping to unlock the lock, the sheep eater Antonio being instigated by Grindelwald, and the scabbing on the tree on Pu Rongrong, Anna believes that magical animals know what humans are talking about.
The fire dragon was very sensitive. It looked at Anna with a complicated look.
Although its eyes could no longer see things clearly because it had been in a dark place for a long time, it could still see the difference between Anna and other sprites.
Hair, her hair was thick.
As for the height, for a dragon, sprites and humans were all the same.
Maybe it was the effect of the keys' jingling, or maybe the dragon wanted to choke itself to death with the chicken bones and end its long and lonely life.
It paced to the cow-like chicken and spat out flames.
The chicken mixed with alcohol burned.
The round hall began to fill with a strange meat fragrance. Anna swallowed her saliva and watched the dragon eat the burning chicken.
It chewed and looked at Anna without saying a word.
"Cough, I think, after eating my chicken … we have become friends," Anna said to herself. "As a friend, I have to say a few words …"
The dragon was still chewing and did not respond.
"You have lived here for a long time, I believe you can understand what I am saying …" Anna held the magic wand in her hand and slowly approached the dragon. "Do you want to know what the outside world is like?"
The dragon stopped chewing and tilted its head. No one had ever told it about these things.
"Fresh air, warm sunshine, endless wine, endless chicken," Anna smiled. "In summer, which is the recent days, you can fly to the Wales Green Dragon Sanctuary and taste the special wine there. Listen to the lovely green friends' beautiful songs …"
"In winter, move your wings a little. The valleys of Australia are a good place to go. There are dragons as beautiful as you. Their pearl-like scales are shining, more gorgeous than everything in Gringotts combined."
"They love to eat sheep. Maybe you can bring one or two sheep to visit them. If you are lucky, you can even gain a beautiful relationship."
Anna looked at the system's memo. Mr. Newt Scamander's book "Where Are Magical Animals?" was a great help. She had to admit that it was a wonderful book for making friends with animals!
The dragon took a few steps back. A few small flames came out of its mouth as it panted. It was a little irritated, but it did not overreact to Anna's approach.
"Mr. Dragon?"
The dragon snorted discontentedly.
"Ms. Dragon, you should not be tortured by these unscrupulous fairies. The fairies tried their best to fight for equal rights from the wizards, but they did not want to treat other creatures equally. They have never even paid you a salary."
Anna explained. "A salary can be used to buy a hundred of these chickens!"
She finally came in front of the fire dragon. Her hand holding the magic wand was trembling with excitement. "Staying here is a waste of your youth, but I can help you leave this place."
The dragon looked at the iron chains that bound her and was silent for a moment. Then she slowly moved her head closer to Anna.
Anna could smell the roasted chicken and alcohol. She held the magic wand tightly and paid attention to the fire dragon's every move. If there was any danger, she could quickly retreat to the key with her fast reflexes.
There was no flame, no roar. The dragon just lowered its scarred head. Anna could see a deep scar around its beautiful eyes. It almost went blind.
"Now, you are a free dragon." Anna stroked the scar beside the dragon's eyes and pointed the magic wand at the lock of the shackles.
[Verbal Cannon Skill Level Up: B]
"Araho, open!" The shackles on the dragon's feet were opened by a strong force. They bounced against the rock wall and made a crisp sound.
"Anna, we found the golden chalice." Hermione's hand that was waving the golden chalice paused. The smile on her face froze. She saw Anna turn around and look at her. The key was on the ground, and the dragon spread its wings.
"That's great!" Anna continued to smile. The dragon behind her had its mouth wide open.
"Anna!" Hermione screamed.
"Burp." The scream was met with a contemptuous look from the fire dragon and a loud burp. The dragon shook its wings and spat out a pile of chicken bones.
"Can, you don't need to shake the key." Anna explained to the stunned fairy. "The dragon has resigned."
The demon — Can stopped its sore arm and screamed like a baby in its heart.
"Anna's song of praise can be updated." George closed his almost dislocated jaw with his hand.
Fred thought for a moment. "Ding ding dang dang ding dang dang … She gripped her wand tightly … There was a treasure buried under London … The dragon spread its wings … Ding ding dang dang dang dang … She gripped her wand tightly … The dragon struggled with all its might … In the end, it surrendered to her …"
"Great … Brave … Confident … Dragon Tamer Anna —" The two of them sang together.
Hermione clapped her hands, and the twins made a curtain call. Can stood stiffly at the side.
Anna smiled happily. At the same time, she used a floating spell to float the bucket and the cart over so that Ms. Long could destroy them.
Anna walked up to the twins, avoiding Hermione and Can's line of sight. She exchanged glances with the twins. "You know what I mean." She handed them the blue floral pouch.
Hermione squatted on the ground and put a teddy bear ring on poor Borg.
Can had a complicated expression. It was happy and unhappy at the same time. It was happy that it might not be caught, but it was also unhappy that the security measures of Gringotts, which was the pride of the fairies, couldn't even catch it...
"Can we leave now …" Can Can suggested in a low voice. It couldn't wait to go home and eat its wife's dinner. After going through all these troubles, it suddenly realized that home was the best harbor.
"Of course." Anna looked at the twins coming out of the vault and made an OK gesture to her.
They cleaned up the scene, locked the vault again, and pretended that nothing had happened. Under Anna's instruction, they climbed onto the dragon.
"Really … Do we have to do this?" Can Can looked at the dragon that was glaring at it and hesitated. "It obviously doesn't welcome me …"
"Can Can, this is one of the few exciting things in your boring life. You have to cherish it, right?" George put it on the dragon.
Anna looked around the round hall. Very good. It was clean and tidy. Not a single trace was left. She climbed onto the dragon. "Let's go, Mighty Lady!
Let's go to the direction where the rumbling sound came from! "
"Ao —" Mighty Lady was happy that it had a name. It used its wings and claws to open a path with flames and brute force. It left the round hall and disappeared into the darkness. It flew across an underground lake with difficulty.
When it came to the waterfall, it climbed up along the track. The narrow passage was filled with huge rocks that were smashed by its lively conical tail.
"Clang clang clang —" The sound of the dragon's tail hitting the track echoed in the originally quiet underground vault. It was ten times louder than the jingling sound of the keys.
"It's just like the ghouls in my attic." Fred didn't forget to joke when he was lying on the dragon's back. "When it's too quiet, I want to hear a sound."
"I heard the sound of a fairy's tail breaking." Anna smiled. "It's quite clear."
Can Can looked at the track that was destroyed by Mighty Lady. Its face turned ugly, but it still pretended that it didn't care. "It will be fixed soon. It will be easily fixed."
"Mighty Lady's scales are a little scratchy." George moved and found a comfortable position. "Maybe we can go to the reserve and undertake the business of polishing dragon scales …"
"We should also take a look at its teeth …" Hermione still couldn't forget the health of Mighty Lady's mouth. Perhaps the 'fairy breath' left a deep impression on her.
They rode on Mighty Lady and arrived at the platform where Anna's great-grandfather's vault was located in less than ten minutes. The car was obediently parked on the track, waiting for the customers.
"We have to say goodbye, Mighty Lady …"
Anna looked at the passage that was getting narrower and narrower. It was really difficult for Mighty Lady to squeeze out with its huge body.
"Maybe you will have to suffer more on the road to freedom. I have to cast a spell for you …"
Mighty Lady nodded like a human. It was ready for anything for freedom.
"Please don't turn your head to us …"
Anna took out her wand. "Pepper spray!"
[Basic Spell for the Busy and Restless] mentioned the 'Pepper Spell'. Anna once thought that it wouldn't have any effect. What harm could a sneeze cause?
A heat wave came. Mighty Lady sneezed and crazily released 'Grand Fireball Spell'. The opening to freedom slowly appeared.
The long-lost natural light penetrated through the gap. Mighty Lady who was sneezing until she was about to lose her mind kept attacking the blinding light.
Finally, Gringotts' marble hall welcomed a guest that the fairies would never welcome, even if it was full of treasures.
"Roar —" The roar of the free one made all the living creatures tremble.
“？”
The dozing fairy opened its eyes in a daze. It thought that it had fallen into another dream, but Mighty Lady's' Dragon Breath 'woke it up.
It screamed, "The dragon … the dragon ran out!"
The effect of the 'Pepper Spell' ended. Mighty Lady took a deep breath and stretched out her wings.
"Ding ding ding —"
Mighty Lady heard the annoying sound of keys again. But this time, it was not afraid. It was no longer the pitiful dragon whose legs were locked and could only endure the pain.
With a flick of its tail, the room with the keys was violently demolished.
Screams, sounds of casting spells, and footsteps. It was a mess.
"Roar!"
Nothing could restrain Mighty Lady anymore. She broke through the bricks above her head and climbed to the roof. Using all four of her claws, she climbed to the highest point of Gringotts.
Everyone was looking at her.
"We have to stop this dragon!" A freckled Auror appeared with a heavy expression. "We can't let the Muggles see it!"
"These fairies!
Why don't they take care of their own dragon? "
Another young Auror was dissatisfied. "This is crazy. I was eating just a second ago, and the next second, I have to deal with this scary thing!"
"Stop complaining, young man." A rough and hoarse voice sounded. "If this is just a simple fire dragon escaping, then it would be great."
The young Auror turned around impatiently, wanting to see who was pointing at the 'elite Auror'. "You —" His mouth was covered by the freckled Auror.
The freckled Auror pulled him behind him and respectfully agreed with the hoarse voice. "Senior Moody is right!"
