The years of welding at Hogwarts

Noah snapped his fingers to attract everyone's attention. "Apart from wizards, there shouldn't be anyone else who would go after Gringotts, right?"

"That is, when they dig the tunnel, the means they use will only be magical, but what if we use purely Muggle means?"

Gwen shook his head. "But the shield machine also makes a lot of noise when digging. If their means of detecting abnormalities include continuous monitoring of abnormal vibrations in the strata, then they will definitely not be able to hide this."

"Why should we hide it from them?" Noah looked indifferent.

He turned over the parchment on the table and tapped the paper casually with his fingers. A pool of black ink immediately spread out at the point where his fingertips touched the parchment, and lines automatically extended in all directions, finally forming a rough street map.

"Diagon Alley is next to the Muggle Charing Cross Street. All we need to do is buy the entire block including Diagon Alley and Charing Cross Street, and then announce that we are going to carry out a large-scale development of this block."

Snape's mouth twitched.

Buying up a whole city block? Is that human language?

but

However, he had to admit that the plan Noah mentioned was indeed quite feasible.

Even if Snape had never studied physics, he knew that the propagation speed of shock waves was positively correlated with the molecular density of matter.

That is, the denser the material, the faster the shock wave propagates.

The noise they made on the surface could easily be transmitted deep underground in Gringotts.

If the goblins didn't have a way to accurately locate the source of the vibration, then as long as they made enough noise, they would be able to perfectly cover up the sound produced by digging the tunnel.

As for the defense of the vault door...

If they can really dig a tunnel right under someone's vault without anyone noticing, then there's no need to worry about any defense.

Thanks to the invention of the Traceless Extension Charm, the convenience of space magic has allowed it to be widely used in the magical world.

There is not a single vault under Gringotts that has not had its internal space expanded using the Traceless Extension Charm. Their internal space far exceeds their external volume.

This means that the vaults extending out of Gringotts are actually not that big when viewed from the outside.

Even though their interior space is large enough to accommodate Notre Dame de Paris, it does not affect the fact that their actual volume is only a pitiful few dozen cubic meters.

It’s such a small vault. Since they can dig a tunnel under the vault, why bother considering defense?

The magic words engraved on the indestructible door of the vault tightly connect them with the surrounding rock walls, forming an indestructible whole.

Then they just dug the whole thing out of the ground and packed it all up and took it away!

Still trying to pry open the door!

What an unskilled job.

Just pack up the entire vault and take it away, and once you drag this thing back home, you can still pry the door open however you want, right?

Listening to Noah's excited expression of his thoughts, Snape sighed tiredly.

He originally thought that in terms of outrageousness, his old boss Voldemort, whose temper had become erratic due to the split of his soul, and the decisions he made on a whim, were enough to make him invincible.

But he didn't expect that there was someone in this world who was more courageous than his old boss Voldemort!

And this guy is still a general of their Slytherin House!

From such a small Slytherin House, two talented young men, the second and third Dark Lord, were born. It is truly a house that can be expected to revive!

Chapter 249: Gringotts Standard Job (Part )

Diagon Alley was in a state of desolation after the Lizard Man incident.

Because the Lizardmen transformed from wizards are stronger than those weak Muggles outside, at the beginning of the Battle of London, Voldemort and Dr. Lizard both turned their attention to Diagon Alley where wizards gathered.

There is also Knockturn Alley next to Diagon Alley.

So these two alleys are unlucky.

The status of wands in the wizarding world is similar to that of guns in the Muggle world, except that magic can do much more than guns.

As for the wizarding world where everyone carries a gun, the wizards in Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley are not like the Muggles outside, who are completely powerless against the Lizardmen all over the streets, but their resistance is not much better.

Ordinary spells have little effect on these thick-skinned lizardmen.

It takes four or five consecutive hits of the Stunning Spell to make them unconscious.

If you use a more powerful Crushing Spell, one shot can only seriously injure it. If you want to kill it completely, you will have to fire another shot.

Avada can kill it instantly, but can only kill one Lizardman at a time.

Even in the simple folk of Knockturn Alley next door, no dark wizard has ever been heard of who has the magical ability to cast Avada chain lightning, otherwise he should be renamed the Dark Lord.

The smart ones had already escaped from London through Apparition or other means.

Those who were reluctant to give up their little fortunes and stayed in the alley to resist till the end met with misfortune.

So when Noah and his companions who were ready to participate in Gringotts' standard errand arrived at Diagon Alley, what they saw was that at least half of the shops in this alley, known as the most prosperous commercial street in the British wizarding world, were closed.

Although those stores were restored to their original state before the Lizardmen wreaked havoc, the torn to pieces bodies of their original owners could never be put back together.

Wearing a pair of sunglasses and just short of a thick cigar in his mouth, Noah stood in the hall of Gringotts looking like a typical nouveau riche.

As a nouveau riche who had exchanged gold for at least hundreds of thousands of gold Galleons at Gringotts, the evil Shafulin was a big customer for Gringotts, at least a five-star customer.

Behind the towering counter, a fairy who was counting accounts saw the big moneybag appear. It was like a big black rat less than one meter tall rushing out from behind the counter in an instant and coming in front of Noah like a whirlwind.

"Dear Mr. Shafrin, how can I help you and your friends?"

The money-hungry demon lowered his posture very low, and his 90-degree bent waist made his

There was not much height left, and his long nose was almost touching the floor.

Noah casually took out a piece of gold weighing about thirty or forty grams and threw it on the ground, his attitude full of arrogance.

But the fairy, who was almost kneeling in front of him, didn't seem to care at all. His eyes staring at the gold pieces were almost radiating light. The fairy picked up the gold pieces on the ground with a smile on his face.

"Thank you for your reward! Honorable Lord Shafulin!"

After picking up the gold flakes, the goblin lying on the ground was still like a vicious dog ready to pounce on its prey, ready to climb up and kiss Noah's leather shoes.

However, Noah did not have such a vulgar hobby. He kicked the ugly goblin lying on the ground away.

"Go away and don't waste my time."

Noah showed disgust on his face, "Let's exchange Galleons as before."

The goblin was kicked and slid two meters away on the smooth floor of the hall, but it was not at all angry at Noah's behavior.

It apologized while getting up from the ground, and then led Noah and his group to the VIP room on the side of the hall.

After inquiring about the amount of gold Galleons Noah wanted to exchange this time, the fairy served tea and snacks to everyone, and then hurriedly ran to prepare the Galleons Noah needed.

Only after the goblin left and there were no outsiders in the VIP room did Shirley bump Noah with her shoulder.

"What a majestic presence," Shirley said, her sarcasm was very much like Snape's, "Your Excellency Lord Shafrin?"

She deliberately imitated the goblin's shrill voice, which sounded funny and full of sarcasm.

Noah waved his hand modestly. "It's just a few bucks. It's nothing to worry about. It's nothing to worry about."

The corners of Gwen's mouth twitched, and she really wanted to complain, "How much money can you call your net worth?"

If Noah's wealth had not been made public, he would have topped the Forbes list of the world's richest people by now.

Long before Noah entered Hogwarts, he had already accumulated the first pot of gold in his life through his magical abilities. After that, he used the God's perspective of a time traveler to plan ahead for the business empire of Hydra.

Do whatever makes money.

When most people in the world were still using landline phones, Mr. Shafulin had already foresightedly begun to lay out the mobile communications industry.

When the 2G network was just coming out, Hydra had already completed the development of the 3G network under the wise and powerful leadership of Lord Shafulin, and had set up patent barriers around the 3G network.

While Nokia was still developing its first commercial portable mobile phone, Hydra's mobile phone companies had already launched smart touch-screen phones that had never appeared in the world.

By the time others reacted and began to imitate Hydra and enter these industries, Hydra turned around and started developing lithography machines and chips, and began to control the core lifeline of mobile phones and computers from the source.

Next came search engines, e-commerce malls…

After discovering vibranium, they began to cross industries and enter heavy industrial manufacturing, and their performance far exceeded that of their counterparts in aviation engines and gas turbines...

Having entered the wizarding world, Hydra turned its attention to the wizards' potions.

The medical industry can be said to be Hydra's main business. After all, Noah made his first fortune by helping some wealthy people and curing some difficult and complicated diseases that Muggle doctors were unable to treat.

Thanks to Noah's creative thinking, cross-disciplinary collaboration between magicians and scientists has enabled industrial mass production of magic potions.

Although they can only produce some very basic potions now, for example, a modified version of scabies poultice, or facial mask, that can allow the user to remove spots and marks of all sizes on their faces and repair those bumps.

But that's enough to make people crazy.

Whose money is easiest to make?

Naturally, the easiest money to make is from those who love beauty. If this were placed in a country with a population of 1.3 billion in the future, it would definitely be a market worth over one trillion yuan.

Basically, Hydra has a hand in every industry in this world that can make big money.

With such a huge thing as support, it would be strange if Lord Shafulin said he had no money.

Twenty minutes later, Noah stood at the door of Gringotts and waved his hand with great generosity, "Buy! Buy all the shops on this street that are willing to sell!"

"Even if they don't want to sell, we will use money to make them willing to sell!"

In this way, Noah's original idea of ​​building the Diagonal Entertainment City based on the Leaky Cauldron could finally be realized.

Chapter 250: Gringotts Standard Job (Part )

Almost overnight, the original residents of Diagon Alley were surprised to find that the shops on this street that had closed down because the original owners had died had begun to be renovated again.

But they didn't feel surprised for long, because early the next morning, some wizards who were obviously from other places came to them, waving handfuls of money in their hands, and said they wanted to buy their shop.

The shop owners in Diagon Alley naturally rejected these wizards with obvious French or German accents.

Tom Abbott, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, said: "Who do you think you are, Gallic devils? You want to buy my four-star pub for just a few gold galleons?"

A century-old bar with more than a century of history?

Funny mud……

Before he could finish his words, the agent sent by Hydra slammed a large bag of gold Galleons onto the bar in front of him.

"It's great to be rich! Does having money mean you can do whatever you want?"

While spitting saliva, Tom Abbott casually reached out to the bag and slightly opened the opening of the bag. The golden light radiating from it almost blinded his eyes.

He swallowed hard, "If you have money, you can do whatever you want. I'm selling this bar."

Such scenes not only happened in the Leaky Cauldron, but also in the infamous Borgin and Burke's shop in Knockturn Alley, where people from Hydra also visited.

Looking at the big bag full of Galleons, Borgin and Burke, the owner of this store, a hunchbacked man, had eyes full of greed for gold Galleons.

As a notorious dark wizard, Borgin and Burke obviously have no concept of business integrity or consumer rights protection.

At this moment, the only thought in his mind was about murder and robbery, a type of business with no capital cost.

He ran his hand back through his greasy hair and said in a tone as greasy as his hair, "Your offer is very tempting."

But one of his hands slowly and stealthily slid behind his back. The final destination of that pair of hands stained with sin was the wand hidden behind his back.

"But I wonder if your offer is only for the land of my store, or also includes all the goods inside?"

Borgin and Burke kept distracting the other party with nonsense, but his hands did not stop moving at all.

When his fingers felt the slightly rough texture of the wooden shaft of the magic wand, the smile on Borgin's face suddenly changed from a professional fake smile of a businessman to a hideous one, "Ava..."

boom!

Before he could even utter the spell, a deafening roar reached his ears.

The magical light representing the armor protection spell suddenly appeared in the air and then disappeared in an instant. It happened in just a flash.

The sharp pain in his chest made Borgin Burke lower his head in disbelief, and a huge hole as big as a fist in his chest suddenly came into his eyes.

"This is……"

Before he even had the chance to ask the last question in his life, he felt a dizzying darkness coming over him, and his entire world suddenly fell into a void and chaos.

When he opened his eyes again, Borgin would find himself on the road to the underworld through the Twilight Zone.

“This is American-style Iai.”

The young man from Hydra raised the 11.43mm caliber M1917 carbon steel revolver in his hand to his mouth and gently blew away the smoke coming out of the muzzle.

The barrel of the gun is engraved with a series of magic runes such as toughness and acceleration, and the bullets are also magic bullets enchanted with magic runes such as sharpness and armor-piercing. One shot can easily break the super-strong armor protection spell cast by ordinary wizards.

Even though Borgin and Burke had a defensive alchemical item that could passively trigger the cast of an armor protection spell in an instant, he was unable to withstand the power of this alchemical weapon.
