Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 341 Infiltrating Gringotts (Second Update)

Meanwhile, Jerry Apparated and returned to his room at the Leaky Cauldron.

He deliberately revealed the Horcruxes and the sealing of Voldemort to Sirius.

The goal was to reassure Dumbledore through Sirius Black's words.

Otherwise, with the Philosopher's Stone stolen and Azkaban gone, it would be hard for Dumbledore not to think of Voldemort's resurrection.

If Dumbledore were to believe that Voldemort had been resurrected using the Philosopher's Stone and was beginning to gather his Death Eaters in preparation for the Second Wizarding War, he would then initiate a series of actions.

This is not a good thing for Jerry; what he needs is a peaceful wizarding world.

Now, thanks to his meddling, although Dumbledore may not fully believe the information he revealed, he at least won't think that his identity as Wizard J would be on the same side as Voldemort.

If they are united, there's no need to reveal Voldemort's biggest trump card.

It's important to know that while Dumbledore has some suspicions about Voldemort's creation of Horcruxes, he is not yet certain.

Finally, the identity of Wizard J will have other uses for him in the future.

"Now, let's examine what your purpose is."

Upon entering the box and picking up the pendant, Jerry began conducting various experiments and studies on it.

After seven or eight hours, from day to night, Jerry finally figured out what the magical abilities of the Slytherin locket were.

In more technical terms, it's mind control; in layman's terms, it can be called hypnosis.

Unlike the Imperius Curse, which requires continuous control and the target will recover once the Imperius Curse is stopped, Slytherin's Locket can control the target for a long time after being cast only once.

However, like all mind control magic, if the other person's will is strong enough, they can become immune to this hypnosis.

No wonder that when Harry, Harry, and the others held the locket during the movie, they were all affected by Voldemort's spirit inside, which stirred up their dark side.

The main point of the emotion lies not in Voldemort's soul, but in the power of the Slytherin locket.

At the time, he was wondering why other Horcruxes, which also possessed Voldemort's soul, did not exhibit the same ability to influence others' minds.

It's somewhat useful, but not really of any real use.

After all, powerful enemies are usually mentally strong, while controlling weak enemies is not particularly important.

The main reason is that his current strength is too great. In fact, he is not much weaker than the four founders of Hogwarts. Their magical artifacts are naturally not as effective against him.

For an ordinary wizard, whether it's a Ravenclaw tiara or a Slytherin locket, using it properly can greatly enhance their strength.

Jerry put away the Slytherin locket, left the locket space, and headed towards Gringotts.

Based on his memories from his previous life, and the information he had obtained from Bellatrix Lestrange, Voldemort's most trusted lieutenant and most fanatical follower among the Death Eaters, just two days prior, he had been tortured into submission.

Voldemort's Horcrux, the Hufflepuff Cup, is hidden in the Lestrange vault of Gringotts Wizarding Bank.

Twelve years ago, before Voldemort was killed by Harry's backlash, he entrusted his two Horcruxes, the Hufflepuff Cup and the diary, to his two most trusted lieutenants: Bellatrix Lestrange and Lucius Malfoy.

Bellatrix hid the golden cup in the Lestrange vault of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, while Lucius hid the diary in his own estate.

However, it was later proven that Bellatrix was truly loyal to Voldemort, and Lucius only sided with Voldemort because of his power and for the sake of power and status.

Therefore, all he needs to do is sneak into Gringotts and quietly take the Hufflepuff Cup from the Lestrange Vault, specifically Vault 707.

Oh, and you can also take away the enormous wealth accumulated by the Lestrange family over several generations.

Anyway, the entire Lestrange family branch in England, because they all sided with Voldemort, either died in the First Wizarding War or were imprisoned in Azkaban, and are now all in Jerry's box space.

If he doesn't take it, it will just stay in Gringotts collecting dust forever.

Gringotts is known as the safest place in the world besides Hogwarts, not only because it is guarded by many wizards, goblins, and powerful dragons, but also because the Gringotts vault is equipped with various detection spells and a thief-proof waterfall.

Fortunately, these are not problems for Jerry, because he knows the shielding spell, which can block magical fluctuations, so Gringotts' detection magic is basically ineffective against him.

Jerry estimates that Quirrell was able to bypass Gringotts's heavy guards and reach Dumbledore's vault 713, where the Philosopher's Stone was hidden, because Voldemort taught him the Shielding Charm.

It was already midnight, and Gringotts was locked and closed for the night.

Jerry didn't go through the main entrance. Instead, after casting illusion spells, shielding spells, scent-blocking spells, flight spells, and stillness spells on himself, he went around to a window on the side of Gringotts, used a lockpicking spell to open the window, and sneaked inside.

Several goblin guards were patrolling inside Gringotts, but because of the numerous spells enchanted on Jerry, they were completely unaware of his arrival.

Upon reaching the Gringotts track, he didn't use the trolley at all, but instead flew directly along the track to the location of the underground vault.

Normal thieves would need a cart to get to the underground vault, but few people know how to use the Flying Charm. Using a cart would inevitably alert the goblin guards, which is why Gringotts built the vault deep underground.

However, once Jerry's spellbook is released, the Flying Charm will no longer be a rare spell.

Because Jerry's spellbook breaks down the principles of air magic in detail, and explains how to learn the flight spell more effectively and simply, its difficulty is now not much greater than Apparition.

After flying along the track to the location of the underground vault, the first thing that caught his eye was not the vaults themselves, but a fire dragon bound by magical chains.

It was a Ukrainian Ironbelly Dragon, the largest fire-breathing dragon in the world. Jerry thought it was at least twice the size of Norber, a Norwegian Spinosaurus.

He didn't take the Ukrainian iron-bellied dragon with him.

The main point is that it's not difficult for him to contract a fire dragon. He can go to Romania, where Ron's brother Charlie lives. There are many wild fire dragons there, and they come in all kinds.
