Chapter 73 Surprise and fright(1/2)
"surprise?"
John said with some confusion.
Alice made a gesture to wait a moment, then turned around and took out a traceless stretching spell bag from behind the sofa, and began to dump it.
"Crash-"
A large amount of gold coins and various jewelry, portraits, armor and other items were poured out of the bag.
In just a short while, a small mountain of gold was piled up on the carpet.
And this is just the beginning.
The second traceless stretching spell bag was quickly taken out, followed by the third, and the fourth...
Seeing that the entire living room was almost flooded with treasures, John hurriedly said:
"Stop! Wait! Could it be that you...emptied the entire underground vault of Gringotts?"
Hearing this, Alice nodded subconsciously, then thought about it, shook her head and said:
"No? At least I haven't touched the money that ordinary depositors put in the collective vault. After all, there isn't much money in each cabinet, and it's too troublesome to control the goblins to open the locks one by one. Of course, there are some in more remote locations.
I didn’t go to the treasury either.”
"You mean, you robbed all the treasuries you could?"
John had already gone behind Alice as he spoke.
Only then did he realize that the back of the sofa where Alice was sitting was already filled with bags of traceless stretching spells.
"call--"
John couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Their battle in Gringotts today was not long, and it took less than half an hour to survive.
In John and Alice's original plan, this little time was only enough for Alice to loot Bella's vault and escape.

But she didn't expect Alice's efficiency to be so high, and she ransacked all the nearby vaults at once!
To be able to do this, I'm afraid Hufflepuff's Gold Cup also helped a lot.
John was thinking this, but he was subconsciously calculating in his mind how many galleons there would be here if all these traceless stretching spell bags were filled with treasures?
However, John soon gave up.
Because the quantity is too exaggerated, and there are a large number of works of art and jewelry inside, the specific value cannot be estimated at all.
"Pah, pah, pah—"
John clapped, shook his head, looked at Alice and sighed, "As expected of you!"
Alice raised her head proudly and said:
"All the precious magic metals such as mithril in here belong to me, and the remaining gold Galleons and treasures will all be given to you."
John rubbed his hands and said:
"Isn't this not good?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. If you hadn't attracted attention in the hall, I wouldn't have had the chance to do this." Alice paused and said, "Besides, you have to use the money to eliminate goblins anyway.
"
As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on John's face gradually disappeared and was replaced by seriousness and solemnity.
"John, we're going to make it, right?"
Alice said equally seriously.
John nodded and said in an almost oath-like tone:
"Of course, creatures like goblins will disappear from the world."
After saying that, the two ignored the treasures piled on the ground and turned to look at the dark night outside the window.
The expressions of the two of them were indifferent to the point of being almost cruel, but there was a firmness in their eyes.
After a long time, John seemed to remember something again, and suddenly turned his head to look at the pile of traceless stretching bags and said:
"As far as I know, most pure-blood Death Eaters' vaults are located near the deepest level of Gringotts, right?"
Alice replied:
"Yes, when I asked the goblin to open the door, I saw many familiar family crests. For example, the Strange family, the Carrow family, the Yaxley, the McNeil family, the Crouch family...
Oh! The Malfoys, Goyles and Crabbes are also there. I originally didn't intend to do anything to them, after all, they are one of my own.
But considering that if they were the only ones not affected by the disaster, they might be suspected by others, so they robbed their treasury along the way."
"Well - poor Mr. Malfoy...but I don't think he cares." A strange smile appeared on John's face, "And I care more about another thing. You said, those death eaters
What would the disciples' reaction be if they knew that all their belongings in Gringotts were robbed?"
As soon as this statement came out.
Alice was stunned for a moment.
Then he seemed to have imagined a specific scene, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The laughter got louder and louder.
Finally, even John couldn't help it anymore and laughed with Alice.
…
early morning.
The carnival in Malfoy Manor is still not over.
Just the rays of sunlight filtering through the gaps in the curtains made the carnival still going on a bit tired.
Several female Death Eaters, represented by Bella, were completely exhausted and lay down on the thick carpet to rest.
They are no longer young.
The heavy makeup used to conceal her age has almost completely peeled off after a night of partying.
This caused the wrinkles on their faces to be exposed one by one.
Together with fatigue, they made Bella and others look particularly embarrassed.
And this happened to be similar to the dresses they were wearing.
Those dresses were originally extremely exquisite, with the best styles and the best fabrics.
No matter how grand the ball is, the girl wearing them will become the focus of everyone present.
But after a whole night of careless tossing, their bodies were already covered with wrinkles and all kinds of inexplicable stains.
Their time has passed.
If anyone else wants to wear them to the next party.
What you will get will no longer be exclamation, but contempt and ridicule.
Not far away, men gathered around a round table and played wizard cards.
Although their faces were turning green due to excessive fatigue, their eyes were still staring at those small squares.
"Pop - I won!"
A Death Eater threw his cards on the table and shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, the Death Eaters around the round table burst into flames.
Everyone cursed and threw out the cards in their hands, along with bags of gold galleons.
"I owe you a hundred galleons, Yaxley. I'll get it from Gringotts later and pay it back to you."
Little Barty gasped and said.
"Barty, it's not that I don't want to lend you money." Yaxley said with a straight face, "But you already owe three thousand Galleons in the middle of the night. Are you sure you really have the money to pay it back?"
"What are you doubting? Are you looking down on me?" Little Barty stared with a pair of red eyes and said, "I have killed my father! Now the entire Crouch family's wealth belongs to me alone!"
Yaxley was not afraid of little Barty at all. He poured a mouthful of joy potion into his mouth and said:
"Here's the problem. Your father, Barty Crouch Sr., only served as Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation for a few years.
Moreover, the Crouch family itself is not prominent.
I sincerely doubt whether the Crouch family's wealth is enough to pay your current debts."
"Yes, that's right, that old guy was indeed quite incompetent. He never became the Minister of Magic until his death." Barty Jr. said with a grin, "But that doesn't mean he has no money!"
"So you're saying that Barty Crouch Sr. embezzled a lot of galleons?"
Another Death Eater came over and asked curiously.
As soon as these words came out, the curiosity of other Death Eaters nearby was also aroused.
To be continued...
