Just after passing the shiny bronze gate, which was guarded by goblins wearing scarlet and gold uniforms on both sides, I saw the conspicuous second silver gate, with the following words engraved on it:
Enter, stranger, but take heed
of what awaits the sin of greed,
for those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn,
so if you seek beneath our floors
a treasure that was never yours, a treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Beware of finding more than treasure there.
Lianwei looked at these words with contempt in her eyes. These goblins are so arrogant! Do you really think that Gringotts is an iron-clad wall?
After passing through this silver door, Lianwei and Sebas entered the dark hall. The floor of the hall was paved with brown patterned marble, and a large crystal lamp hung from the ceiling. However, the crystal lamp was not as bright as the original one.
It was crystal clear, but covered with a thick layer of dust and cobwebs. There were long counters neatly lined up on both sides, and on the counters sat goblins who were quickly registering in the big account books, and some were weighing the gold and silver on the scales.
Long, some use eyepieces to detect gems, and more are busy stamping seals on account books. The main lighting is the row of table lamps and torches the size of crystal balls next to the counter.
Frowning at the windows, reliefs, and lampstands full of spider webs, Lianwei said with some disgust: "Sebas, it seems that although these creatures look very similar to your relatives, their habits are opposite!
"The house elves don't let the house be buried in piles of cobwebs.
Hey, Master, how obsessed are you with getting me and a house elf together? Sebastian went crazy and tried desperately to remind himself that
A deacon who serves as a deacon cannot be rude to his master under any circumstances. Finally, after finally calming down the turbulent emotions in his heart, Sebastian emphasized: "Master, I have nothing to do with house elves! No, I should say that I have never
There is no such thing as relatives." He is a demon, born from darkness and bred from desire. From the beginning, he has been alone, looking for one soul after another that makes him interesting, and then loses interest.
Time swallows up the soul, and the so-called emptiness and loneliness have long been lost in the torrent of time.
"Hey, Sebastian, it doesn't matter if you don't have any relatives. Don't feel inferior. I won't abandon you." Yes, when we signed the contract, we had already decided that we would not give up as long as we didn't betray, so, Sebastian
, just be obedient and let me be my slave forever!
The girl tilted her head half-way, and her face was illuminated by a layer of light, hazy and white to transparent. The glimmer of light in her eyes flowed quietly, making Sebas seem to see something that was even better than the cold moonlight.
For eternity, my heart beat slightly, and a strange feeling gradually developed, itchy and warm, just like the sun shining on my body in winter, so comfortable that even my soul sighed. Containing all emotions, Sebas
The enchanting red eyes as blood were as calm as before, but the smile on the corner of the mouth was a little more real, "Yes, Master!"
"Hey, Sebastian, let's go!" Lianwei said and walked out first. To put it bluntly, Lianwei came to Gringotts just to satisfy her curiosity about fairies. Now that she sees it, she doesn't care.
Got interested.
"Yes, Master." Sebastian followed Lianwei.
When she walked to the silver door, Lianwei looked at the warning on the door again, and then walked out without looking back.
Maybe bring Chrollo and the others over next time to see if the so-called safest bank in the world can withstand real thieves, and see if these goblins can withstand the predators of spiders. Phantom Troupe vs Gringotts,
What will be the result? Will the smart, cunning and long-lasting goblin successfully keep the treasury, or will the phantom troupe, who likes challenges and wantonly, empty the treasury? It's really exciting!
Walking on the streets of Diagon Alley, Lianwei smiled with her usual smile and said in a leisurely tone: "Sebas, let's go rob Gringotts!" Thinking of Chrollo, her restless factor was about to start.
Oh! Before the Phantom Troupe comes, you should go and help test Gringotts' defense measures first, so as not to be caught off guard by the Phantom Troupe.
Sebastian replied without changing his face: "Yes, master!" The master's order is the deacon's code of conduct. There is no right or wrong, no distinction between right and wrong!
And when they happened to pass by, the boy with platinum hair heard the conversation between them and shook uncontrollably.
In order to buy the necessities for going to Hogwarts, the Malfoys took Draco to Diagon Alley early in the morning. When making robes at Madam Malkin's robe store, Lucius Malfoy left his robe
Shop next door to buy books and ask Draco to find him after finishing.
Although he has received family education since he was a child, Draco is still only an eleven-year-old child. Although he likes to raise his chin and make a proud pose like his father because he admires his father extremely, he still has a delicate face.
From the outside, he just looks like an awkward child who likes to pretend to be an adult.
Although he was born into the Malfoy family, a pure-blood noble family, it was his first time to go to school, so he was inevitably curious and excited about school life. Except for a few children from aristocratic families close to his own, he had no other people of similar age since he was a child.
I had gotten along with him before, so I couldn’t help but speak when I saw Harry in the robe shop.
"Hey, are you going to Hogwarts too?" Draco asked in a long and lazy tone that he thought was normal but in the eyes of others was completely arrogant and contemptuous.
Harry had just come into contact with the wizarding world and was still so unfamiliar with everything in the wizarding world, so he was a little timid when faced with Draco's domineering questions. He replied nervously: "Yes."
"My dad was helping me find books next door, and my mom was looking for a wand on the street. Then I had to drag them to see the broomsticks. I couldn't figure out why the first graders couldn't have their own broomsticks. I thought,
I'm going to force Dad to buy me one, and then find a way to sneak it in." Draco kept talking about his dissatisfaction, his tone was always drawn in an aristocratic accent. "Have you ever played Quidditch?"
Harry shook his head even more nervously and said, "No!" He didn't even know what Quidditch was, so how could he have ever played it.
"I have played. Dad said that it would be a shame if I didn't make the representative team of our college. I want to say that I agree with this view. Do you know which college you were assigned to?"
"I don't know." Harry shook his head again. He felt like an idiot who didn't know anything. Moreover, this man's arrogant attitude towards him reminded him of his cousin, so for the first person he encountered after entering the wizarding world.
The favorability of a boy of the same age has also dropped to freezing point.
Later, Draco's contempt for Hagrid made Harry decide to hate him. So, after finishing the clothes, he hurriedly left with Hagrid. Draco also guessed that Harry was a Mudblood because of his reaction.
, his deep-rooted pure-blood ideology also made him hate Harry.
Later, after leaving the robe shop, Draco walked towards Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to find his father. On the street, he saw the duo of Lianwei and Sebastian at a glance. Although people were coming and going, their clothes
They are not very special, but those two people have a unique temperament. This temperament separates them from pedestrians and creates a world of their own. But no matter how special they are, Draco did not take the initiative to recognize them.
He had only passed by them when they met. However, after he overheard the conversation between Lianwei and Sebastian, he still felt dizzy. The two of them spoke calmly.
The topic that shocked him was still spoken in a very normal tone, so normal that it was like asking "Have you eaten? - ah, have eaten." Everyone was silent, and he suddenly
I feel that this world is absurd, as unreal as a bizarre dream.
Lianwei would not have paid attention to the people next to her, but her platinum-blonde hair was so dazzling that it caught her attention. Her eyes were cold gray, but at this time they were filled with speechless emotions.
His face is very white, not the sickly paleness, but the whiteness common among aristocrats. His face is delicate and childlike, with a habitual smile hanging at the corner of his mouth. He is so arrogant that he is almost flat, but at this time he is paired with a tangled look on his face.
It just makes people want to laugh. Ah, it's Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter's nemesis.
Draco didn't expect that Lianwei would suddenly look back at him at this moment. He could only stay there in a daze, feeling embarrassed that he had been caught peeking. The appearance of the girl in front of him was not stunning.
But the thin eyebrows, big eyes, slight smile at the corner of the mouth, and the fair and delicate skin paired with the black hair that contrasted sharply with the skin made him feel very cute. In addition, the unique softness of the Orientals made him even more adorable.
It made Draco feel a little better about Lianwei.
"Hello, I'm Draco Malfoy." Draco nervously introduced himself to Lianwei, and then felt deep annoyance in Lianwei's teasing smile. Damn it, he actually lost the Malfoy family.
Etiquette!
"Hello, I am Lianwei? Shen, you can call me Lianwei." Then he pointed to Sebas behind him, "This is my butler - Sebas."
Draco finally regained the arrogant expression unique to the Malfoy family, raised his chin and said in a smooth aristocratic accent: "Is Lianwei an Oriental?"
Lian looked at Draco with a slight smile. What an interesting expression! It was like a child wearing an adult's appearance. It was so awkward that it made people laugh, "Ah, yes, little Mr. Malfoy."
"You can call me Draco." Draco believes that since Lianwei has allowed him to call me by his first name, this is a sign of intimacy and he should treat him equally. What he doesn't know is that Lianwei is used to When others call her Lianwei, they won't allow others to call her by her name unless there is a special reason. The reason for this phenomenon is that Lianwei doesn't like the two surnames in her past and present lives, because those surnames are so unique. Cold.
Sebas behind him looked at Draco with some sympathy, because he knew that the master regarded him as a toy in the new stage, but then, Sebas threw the young man's pitiful sympathy out of the sky and stood aside. I watched the show leisurely. After all, expecting the devil's sympathy is a joke in itself, isn't it?
"Okay, Draco." Lianwei changed her words calmly. There was no difference in her eyes about her first name and last name.
Lianwei's voice was clear and light, like the breeze passing through the sun. The heat in it made Draco's white face blush. "Is Lianwei a new student at Hogwarts?"
Draco's words made Lianwei embarrassed. Although it was completely invisible on the outside, Lianwei was really confused when Draco finished speaking. If she remembered correctly, Hogg Woz's new student is probably eleven years old, and she is already sixteen. Is her appearance really so childish? Lianwei turned her head and exchanged glances with Sebastian.
"Hey, Sebas, do I really look so small?" At least she is already over 1.6 meters tall. Although she is not tall, she is not small, right? At least now she is more interested in Draco. The line of sight is still looking down.
Sebas suppressed his smile, "Yes, Master!"
In fact, because Lianwei has a slender figure and her spiritual power makes her skin fairer and more delicate, her growth has become very slow since she obtained the power of death. Compared with other people of the same age in the East, she has They look younger, not to mention that Easterners will look smaller in the eyes of Westerners.
When Lianwei was struggling with the question "Do I really look so childish?" and didn't know how to answer Draco, a low and magnetic voice came from behind, a bit like Yushi's voice. The feeling is charming and ambiguous. To put it bluntly, it is the sound of male hormones seducing ignorant girls everywhere.
"Draco, what's wrong?"
Lianwei's smile froze. What was going on with this aria-like tone? It was really creepy.
"Dad." Draco called in the direction behind Lianwei, with joy in his voice.
It seems that Draco admires his father very much, and the protracted tone should be the unformed version of this aria. Thinking about Draco after it becomes the official version in the future, hey, the consequences of blind worship! Lianwei sighed, completely He has forgotten that the person who blindly worships him is even worse than Draco!
Lianwei turned around and looked at the current head of the Malfoy family - Lucius Malfoy. He was very similar to Draco, or Draco was very similar to him. He had the trademark platinum blond hair of the Malfoy family, cold light gray eyes, and was pale.
His face is completely the mature version of Draco, but it has a little more elegance and coldness that have accumulated through experience.
Lucius squinted his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him. This was not the first time he saw her. This girl was also there when he helped Draco buy books at Flourish Blossoms Bookstore. Although as far as he knew, this girl did not belong to any noble family.
, but he still remembered the suffocating and powerful force emanating from this girl. It was not magic, but more shocking than magic. And the butler-looking person behind her was not a simple figure either.
In any case, this girl cannot be an enemy. After thinking about his attitude towards Lianwei, Lucius asked Draco, "Draco, is this lady your friend?"
Draco was a little nervous at first. Lianwei was the first friend he made not because of rights and interests. He cherished it very much, but he was afraid that his father would not allow him to be friends with Lianwei. Now it seems that his father has no intention of stopping Draco.
He breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, Dad. Lianwei is an Oriental."
"Hello, I'm Lucius. Malfoy, can I call you Lianwei?" Since he didn't intend to be her enemy, Lucius behaved elegantly and noblely, without showing the slightest hint of contempt.
"Yes, Mr. Malfoy!" Compared to Malfoy, Lianwei showed a courtesy that was not inferior to him at all. Although these things were unnecessary for her, she had learned them before due to family reasons.
Lucius saw a flash of light in Lianwei's perfect etiquette eyes. This kind of temperament cannot be cultivated by ordinary people. Is it an Eastern noble? "Is Lianwei a new student at Hogwarts?"
When Lianwei heard the words, there was a flash of confusion in his eyes. Should he be called father and son? Even the questions he asked were exact, and both of them had problems with their eyesight.
Sebas looked at Lian Wei who was in a tangled state and his red eyes flashed with a smile. The owner looked really cute like this, just like his favorite cat was in a state of frizz and he couldn't help but want to stroke the smooth fur.
The perfect butler must help the master solve the problem, so Sebastian opened his mouth and answered for Lianwei: "Mr. Malfoy, the master only came here to see Diagon Alley because it has been famous for a long time, not because he is going to Hog."
The reason Woz went to school.”
Lucius looked at the man in front of him. He was more elegant, noble and dangerous than any noble he had ever seen. His respect and humility were just an appearance. His red eyes reminded him of the Dark Lord, which was full of cruelty and cruelty.
Indifferent, he didn't pay attention to anyone else except Lianwei. "Really? This is Lianwei's first time coming to Diagon Alley. Do you need me to lead the way?"
"No, Mr. Malfoy, Draco still needs to prepare things for the start of school. I won't waste your time." Lianwei refused, and it was almost time for her to go back today. We will talk about the rest next time.
! After visiting Diagon Alley, she went to Knockturn Alley. She was very interested in the dark corner that was completely different from Diagon Alley.
"So Lianwei, where do you live?" Draco asked Lianwei reluctantly. This was the first friend he had made on his own initiative, and he liked her very much.
"No. xx, xx Avenue, xx Street." Lianwei reported her current address.
Well, this is where Muggles live. Draco looked at Lucius secretly. His father hated Muggles the most. He was afraid that his father would not allow him to communicate with her. But what surprised him was that his father's face didn't show any emotion at all.
Nothing has changed. It's not like she used to be as disgusted as if she had swallowed a slug when she heard about Muggles. That means her father doesn't object, which is great! "Goodbye Lianwei then!" Lucius also said goodbye to her.
"Goodbye! Mr. Malfoy, Draco." Lianwei nodded slightly and said goodbye to the older and younger Malfoys.
After the two figures completely disappeared, Lianwei said calmly to Sebas next to him: "Go back, Sebas."
"Yes Master!"
Sebastian bent slightly and responded, and then the two figures disappeared in Diagon Alley. Diagon Alley was still lively, with people coming and going in various shops, and no one noticed the disappearance of the two people.
