Conquering the Heavens: Beginning at Hogwarts

Chapter 17 The Fortune of the House of Augustus (Modified)

It was very quiet along the way, the car kept turning downwards in circles, and after turning about a dozen times, the surrounding environment became even darker.

Except for some crystal shimmer, it can really be said to be invisible.

"What's wrong with you, Pendor?" Seeing that Pendor had been silent, Hagrid asked.

Pan De looked at the environment of this mine, in his sense of the elements, this mine is not dark at all, but full of colors, colorful, very beautiful.

And among these patches of color, Pan De saw a net, which spread all over the mine.

The magic power flows in it, and the flow track is traceable, that is the magic circle of this mine.

"I'm looking at this mine, it's so spectacular, it's full of magical barriers, it's simply a miracle."

"That's right, goblins have always been very good at their craftsmanship."

Hagrid praised, then carefully glanced at the goblins in front of him, and whispered in Pender's ear, "But they are very picky and good at doing business, so be careful when dealing with them in the future."

Pendor nodded.

Stab it!

The car continued to go down, and after two more turns, they arrived at the place with a harsh brake sound.

The car stopped in front of a huge cave.There are no dragons here, not even in this level, just five vault doors.

"arrive."

The goblin led the two to the door.

As soon as he saw this door, Pender could tell that this was the treasure house of the Augustus family, because this door was exactly the same as the bronze door, and it was almost carved out of the same mold.

It is covered with mysterious patterns, and the city emblem of Rome is painted in the patterns.

"The Augustus family's treasury magic has two, one is ours, and the other is set by them themselves. We can't open it alone, we must have members of his family present."

The goblin stood in front of the gate, pressing one hand on the door, and saw a wave on the door, and a five-shaped curtain slowly dissipated.

"It's your turn." The goblin looked at Pender.

Pan De stepped forward and put his hand on the door.

The moment he pressed it, the wolf power on the door!

I saw the golden wolf eyes staring at Pender for ten seconds. Finally, the wolf confirmed it, and walked away on his own initiative, disappearing at the gate.

Just after the wolf disappeared, the gate opened.

"Then just use the key." After the goblin finished speaking, she walked to the side and kept away.

Pan De gave it a strange look, inserted the key, and slowly opened the door of the vault.

The moment the door opened, a gloomy light came out.

"This is?" Pender looked out curiously.

The vault of the Augustus family was very large, filled with shelves full of books.

There are several small hills on the side, all of which are worthless utensils.

The innermost part of the treasury is some bottles and jars, which are full of potions and medicinal materials.

There are even some furs and clothes hanging on the walls of the vault, all of which exude a magical atmosphere. It is obvious that they are also magical creations, or at least the furs of magical creatures.

"The vaults of the Augustus family were the first to be established, even earlier than those of the 24 pure-blood families." Seeing that Pender didn't move, the goblin next to him explained: "This vault can only be opened by members of your family. There will never be a case of theft.”

"Well, I see."

Pender nodded, walked into it, and began to browse the contents.

It's amazing.

Dumbledore said that what is stored in the underground space in Rome is the real heritage of the Augustus family, and what is in Gringotts is just what the Augustus family collected outside.

But these things alone are already surprising.

According to visual inspection, there are hundreds of large bookshelves with a height of five meters, which are stored on both sides, and each one is full.

Pendor wandered among the bookshelves, and pulled out a book from one.

The name of the book is [Detailed Explanation of Alchemy], and the author surprised him,

"Aristotle? Is he a wizard too?"

Pan De opened the book, the first page explained the core of the book, the theory of the four elements, hot, cold, dry, and humid.

Aristotle believed that all substances in the world are composed of these four elements, so as long as external influence is applied to them, even dirt can be turned into gold.

"This is the essence of alchemy, it's a good book."

Pan De flipped through it roughly. This book even mentioned the highest achievement of alchemy, the Philosopher's Stone, which is also the Philosopher's Stone and the idea of ​​the fifth element.

This method was not written by Aristotle, but added later by a wizard named Jayton.

He analyzed Aristotle's four elements: heat, cold, dryness, and moisture.

Through fire is hot and dry, earth is hot and moist, water is cold and moist, and air is cold and dry.He went one step further and built a theory.

Both: the theory that "all metals are combinations of these four elements".He believes that of these four elements, two are internal elements and the other two are external elements.

In this case, the process of metamorphism of one metal into another is deduced to be a recombination of these four substances.

Based on this theory, he proposed the idea of ​​the Philosopher's Stone and studied it all his life.

There are some records of his experiments at the end of the book, one of which was the closest to success, but it still failed, and it seemed that something was missing.

"Interesting, the fifth element, the elixir, the philosopher's stone, the holy grail, these are good things. I remember that Nicole Flamel seems to have successfully refined them. I don't know if I can ask him. He seems to be the same as his uncle. Friends are coming."

Pan De put away the books, and then started to fetch books from the bookshelf, taking a lot of books he was interested in.

Then I went to get a lot of potions and alchemy items, and even took two furs of magical animals.

At this moment Hagrid was looking in the doorway,

"Oh my god, is that the horned tiger of Huaxia? There is actually a whole one! And the ivory of the Siberian white-haired giant elephant! Oh my god, this is a holy place!"

Hagrid looked at the samples of those precious magical animals, and his whole body became excited.

At this time, Pan De also came back from the vault, and saw him holding a lot of miscellaneous things, and there were two golden bowls on the top.

"Oh." Hagrid looked away, and hastily stepped forward to take the sundries from Pender's hand.

"Thank you." Pender handed the sundries to Hagrid, "Not to mention, these things are very heavy."

He clapped his hands, then took the two bowls from the pile of debris, and waved them in front of Hagrid and Harry, "These two things are sold, they should be exchanged for some money, enough to pay tuition and buy things .And these things are all ordinary alchemy items, and they can be sold for money.”

"Indeed." Hagrid looked at it. "You can estimate the price at Gringotts. Although those goblins are picky, the price is always very fair."

"Yeah." Pender nodded, "Wait for me, I'll put away other things."

"something else?"

Hagrid followed the direction Pendor was looking at, and saw several large packages as tall as a person standing quietly in place at the moment.
That posture, I am afraid that each one weighs [-] to [-] kilograms.

"My Merlin, do you want to bring so many things?"

"Uh, not much, just a little bit. I have a pocket made of the Untraceable Stretching Curse, which I can take with me." Pender went back into the vault, picked up the package, and stuffed it into the system inventory.

Not to mention, this inventory is really easy to use, it is infinitely large, and it can hold anything except living things.
