Deep inside Gringotts.
The captain of the Goblin Guards, Donny Deen, looked ahead with a serious face and tightly held the space bag in his hand. His mission was simple but extremely important - to escort a large amount of precious magical materials to the goblin alchemist Beno Cruz. With his current status, he fully understood the importance of Master Beno's mission. It was directly related to whether the goblins could rise again.
When he thought of this, he looked back at the members of the escort team behind him, especially the crimson Flame Dragon II magic firearms slung around their waists. His eyes were full of fire and hope! This was a weapon jointly developed by Beno and other goblin alchemist masters. Breaking away from the shackles of the wand, it was completely possible for a large number of goblins to gain combat power quickly.
Although rumors had it that it had something to do with Muggles, Donny didn't believe that those Muggles without any magic power could have come up with such a good thing. At most, they provided them with enough gold, raw materials, and ideas. Donny thought maliciously! He felt strongly dissatisfied with some of the goblins in Gringotts because they actually expressed friendship to Muggles, saying that both parties were on equal footing and should cooperate more. He was extremely disgusted with such an idea.
Goblins were a noble race with a long history. It's okay if wizards have magic power. Races like Muggles who don't even have magic power can only serve as servants who provide them with raw materials. He really didn't understand what those goblins were thinking. Do they have to abandon their pride as goblins just because they were defeated for a moment?
Damn it!
When he thought of it, the concept of cooperation with Muggles and wizards that had been promoted came to mind. His face was gloomy, and there was even a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. But he quickly restrained his thoughts. The goblins could not be divided now. Before they rose, they still needed the cooperation of these goblins.
That's what his boss, Rex Rosa, had always told him. He thought Rex was right - only when the palm is clenched and turned into a fist can it have the most offensive power. This is a proverb passed down by goblins since ancient times.
But what he didn't notice was that from the perspective of magic, there was a looming figure behind them. At this moment, Lockhart looked at the cart sliding deeper, thoughtfully. This group of goblins, as if they had been specially trained warriors, stood on the cart, not communicating a word, and fully alert. As if guarding something and waiting for something.
However, due to limited information, he didn't know. He could only fly behind and follow quietly, hoping to get some useful information.
After a while, Lockhart felt that the speed in front gradually slowed down and stopped on a platform. He felt refreshed and knew that the destination had been reached. Then, he watched the leading goblin step off the cart, followed closely by a dozen goblins behind him. Lockhart followed immediately.
Soon, they passed through the platform and entered a corridor. The environment of the corridor was very bright because a magic similar to a light spell was cast above. Immediately afterwards, they continued to turn, change to a new corridor, and move deeper. Looking at the densely packed corridors, Lockhart felt a little dizzy, but he had nothing to worry about. He had marked it beforehand to ensure that he would not lose his bearings.
Soon, Lockhart saw the goblins stepping onto a platform again. Looking from the corridor to the platform, he saw a large number of colorful raindrops continuously falling from the sky, containing a large amount of magic fluctuations. This made Lockhart's eyes narrow. If he guessed correctly, this should be the goblins' most famous alchemy item - the Anti-Thief Waterfall. A top-notch defensive alchemy item that only goblins knew how to refine, capable of rendering any magic useless.
Lockhart was hesitant because he didn't know whether the Anti-Thief Waterfall would have any impact on his soul state. Despite this, seeing that most of the goblins had entered the Anti-Thief Waterfall area, Lockhart still wanted to take a gamble. After the goblins had finished walking, Lockhart walked towards the entrance of the cave, stretched out his soul arm, and touched the colorful raindrops falling in the air.
Hearing the sound of a large number of raindrops in his ears, he felt the raindrops produced by the Anti-Thief Waterfall gently penetrating his arms. Lockhart let out a breath. It seemed that the Anti-Thief Waterfall would not reveal the state of his soul, but he could still feel the impact of the waterfall on his soul. He roughly estimated that if he had been soaked in the Anti-Thief Waterfall, his soul would probably be seriously affected. After all, this is equivalent to a large amount of magic power directly hitting the soul without any protection.
Fortunately, the area covered by the Anti-Thief Waterfall is not very long. With his thoughts turning, Lockhart flew forward quickly. He felt a lot of stinging pain as a large number of colorful raindrops continued to impact his soul. Frowning, he increased his speed. Soon, he passed the Anti-Thief Waterfall area. After passing through, Lockhart took a deep breath, as if he had been hit by a large amount of hail. Although it was bearable, it was still painful.
Then, he turned around in mid-air and looked at the goblins who were still walking in the Anti-Thief Waterfall area, waiting silently. After a while, the leading goblin took the lead in walking out of the Anti-Thief Waterfall area and continued moving forward. Lockhart continued to follow silently behind. He wanted to see what these goblins were up to. They almost controlled the wizarding world's currency system. Could it be that they were preparing to start a new round of war between wizards and goblins?
Lockhart shook his head slightly and quickly cleared away the inexplicable thoughts that appeared in his mind. Soon, he followed the goblins into a spacious hall. Lockhart could see that there were many goblins armed with guns and even wands scattered around, forming an encircling formation. It seemed that as soon as there was an enemy, they would immediately start a crazy attack.
Deep in the hall, there was a half-open wooden door guarded tightly. No need to guess, he knew that the secrets of the goblins were definitely contained inside. Sure enough, he saw the goblin captain just now very solemnly handing over a space bag to the guard at the door, then turning around and leaving with his team.
Lockhart, of course, took advantage of the opportunity to slip a mark into the room. He had to say that in the Harry Potter world, he didn't know if it was due to the influence of the world environment or knowledge monopoly, but they seemed biased in their research on the soul, overly pursuing lethality and immortality. For example, the Killing Curse, Horcruxes, etc. There seemed to be no systematic research on the soul itself.
Kamar Taj, on the other hand, had developed systematic soul magic such as soul projection, soul whipping, etc., including combat, treatment, and assistance, making it more comprehensive.
As his thoughts turned, Lockhart's soul entered the room behind the wooden door.
