Conquering the Heavens: Beginning at Hogwarts

Chapter 16 Diagon Alley, Gringotts (revised)
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Hagrid led Harry through the crowd and found Pendor in the corner.

"Pender, what are you in a daze for?"

Hagrid came over and patted Pendor with his big hand, waking him up from his brainstorm.

"Oh, I'm fine, I was just thinking about something." Pender came back to his senses, and smiled at Hagrid.

"That's good. Let me introduce you, this is Harry Potter, the only son of the Potter family, and a freshman this year like you. Harry, this is Pendor, Pendor Lee, I think you will definitely become good friends!"

Hagrid patted the two cheerfully.

"Hi Harry, my name is Pender, and we will be classmates from now on." Pender stretched out his hand and greeted Harry very naturally.

"Hello, I think so too." Harry also shook hands with Pender happily.

"Hey! Well, let's do this first, we will have time to get to know each other later, let's go shopping first, we have been delayed for too long."

After Hagrid finished speaking, he led the two of them across the bar to a small courtyard surrounded by walls.

Here is the same as in the movie, only some weeds, and an eye-catching trash can.

"You have to remember, when you come here, use your wand, count three pieces up, and then count two pieces inward, just tap lightly, and then stand back, children."

"I know Hagrid." Harry pouted helplessly, "I knew it when I was a child."

"Okay, okay, but Pender doesn't know, right?" Hagrid tilted his head, took out his umbrella, and tapped lightly on the wall three times.

The bricks he had knocked on jerked and moved, and in a short while there was an archway wide enough for Hagrid to pass before them.

"Welcome to Diagon Alley."

"Let's go." Hagrid waved his hand, leading the way.

Pendor followed, but Harry at the rear didn't move.

"What's the matter, Harry?" Pender turned around and asked, to be honest, this Harry was very strange, what he said just now made Pender very uncomfortable for Ray.

"Pender, go with Hagrid first, I'll wait for my friends here, and I'll look for you later." Harry looked at his watch and said, "They should be here soon."

"Friend? Is it also from our class?" Pan De was a little curious. This has changed.

"Well, it's Neville and Draco, Neville Longbottom, Draco Malfoy, two good friends of mine."

"Malfoy"

"What happened to Malfoy?"

Pan De shook his head, "It's nothing, I just remembered something."

"You and him are good friends, but as far as I know. The Malfoy family seems to care a lot. You know." Pender said vaguely, because he doesn't remember the plot, but Malfoy still has a little impression, it seems It was Harry's enemy.

"That's right." Harry looked at Pender strangely, "Although his father has a bad personality, he is a member of the Order of the Phoenix just like my father, a hero against the You-Know-Who."

Just when Pender didn't know how to answer, Hagrid in front turned around and shouted, "Pender, we're going to hurry up."

"It's coming!" Pan De was relieved, and he didn't know how to make it up.

"You should be fine by yourself, right?"

Harry nodded, "It's okay, it's not the first time, it's safe here, you go first."

"Okay, then I'll go first, see you later."

"See you soon."

Saying goodbye to Harry, Pendor chased after Hagrid.

Walking along the long cobblestone-paved streets, the first shop I saw was the Patchy Crucible Store.

There is a big sign hanging on the side of the road:

坩埚
full size
pure copper, brass, tin, silver

automatic stirring
adjustable

It's quite complete, and you can see the things placed inside through the glass window. If you just look at the craftsmanship, it can be said to be very delicate, but I don't know if it will last or not.

Pender and Hagrid came all the way to the white building at the innermost part of Diagon Alley.

"Gringotts, the second safest place in the world. Wizards keep their money here," Hagrid explained to Pendor.

Gringotts has two doors, a golden door, opened for you by two goblins.

The second is the silver gate. When passing by this gate, Pan De also saw the very famous engraving.

Come in, stranger, but take care,
What is the end of insatiable greed,
Blindly asking for and getting something for nothing will be punished most severely.
So if you want to take from our vaults a treasure that was never yours,

Thief, you have been warned,
Be careful not to bring treasures, but evil rewards.

"That sounds strange."

Pan De took a closer look, and finally felt a familiar aura from it—curse!
Gringotts in this world is so vicious, and the word on the door is actually a curse!

Anyone who walks through this door will carry this layer of curse. If you steal something from here, it will definitely trigger the curse and bring bad luck.

But the curse doesn't seem fatal
Walking all the way to the middle of the hall, Hagrid looked at the goblin and coughed lightly.

"Hello, let's get the money."

The big goblin in a red robe looked up and asked, "Who is taking the money?"

"Mr. Augustus," said Hagrid.

The big goblin was shocked when he heard that, and looked at Pender in surprise, "Augustus? You haven't shown up for a long time."

Pendor didn't answer, just shrugged.

Seeing that Pendor was silent, the big goblin didn't ask any more questions, but looked at Hagrid, "Have you got the key?"

"Oh yes, here." Hagrid took out the key.

The big goblin looked at the key, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed the key to a little goblin next to him and said, "Take them to get the money."

"Yes." The little goblin nodded, and then greeted the two, "Come with me."

The goblin led the two behind the counter, through a door, and into a dark tunnel.

"Get in the car."

The goblin got into the car with a lantern, and his face was not very good-looking, but it can't be blamed for it, after all, it came from a racial talent.

As the car drove slowly underground, Pan De also gradually saw the whole picture of this place.

He looked up and saw something different in it.

"It's terrible, this place deserves the title of the second safest place in the world. There are magic barriers everywhere, and any attack hit on it will be shared with the ground. That's right, what is thicker than the ground?"

The underground treasury of the goblins was built in a huge mine pit. The further down it went, the more familiar aura Pender could feel, and he recognized them immediately.

Dragon.

Just like the original book, there is a dragon locked here.

But different from the original book, here is not just one, but a group!
A group of ferocious Hungarian tree peaks!
They are trained by goblins, chained in the corners of each floor, and these dragons are much more powerful than those seen in movies.

"As expected of a dragon species, even without wisdom like a beast, it is still powerful."

Looking at this posture, Pan De couldn't imagine how the robbery was successful in the original book, it was too magical.
