Chapter 372 Nanotechnology, boy~
"Ding~ Talent [Otherworldly Knowledge (Gold)] is triggered, and [Metal Gear's Nanoparticle Manufacturing Process Diagram (Blue)] is discovered."

[Metal Gear Solid Nanoparticle Production Process Diagram (Blue)] records the relevant knowledge about the production process and procedures of nanoparticle technology in an unknown Earth technology timeline. It costs 550 experience points to redeem.

Today is August, and the new knowledge about the other world is science fiction.

Nanoparticles can be seen in many modern science fiction worldviews.

Even in Marvel's Avengers, Iron Man has nano armor, which is very convenient to carry with him.

Change it and take a look!

It's quite interesting.

The main thing is that Ted thought about whether it is possible to turn the magic metal into nanoparticles, or even build special magic equipment.

If this thing is combined with psychic powers, will it be useful?
However, the most important thing right now is to study the knowledge in the Sealed Book.

I have already obtained a lot of fallen demon souls from the evil cave, which are perfect for studying forbidden techniques such as the Demon Sealing Technique. That is quite tempting!

……

On August 8, Ted received a letter from the school informing him that he had become a prefect.

Ted asked in the group, and found out that Neville, Harry, Hermione, Ted, and Malfoy had all become prefects.

This caused Ron to be very depressed.

Others are fine, but why can Malfoy become a prefect? ​​Is it because there is no competitive pressure in Slytherin?
However, Ted was more concerned about a decree passed by the Ministry of Magic.

Ministry of Magic Education Order No. 2 - stipulates that if Dumbledore is unable to find a suitable candidate, the Ministry of Magic will be allowed to appoint a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

Indeed, the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is now quite prestigious.

More importantly, Dumbledore was stuck.

On the one hand, there is Fudge who is trying to make things difficult for him, and basically no one is willing to be this unlucky professor.

On the other hand, the "proxy war" between Dumbledore and Voldemort in Norway was in full swing.

Neither side took part in the battle in person, but instead remotely controlled their subordinates to engage in various open and covert struggles.

Dumbledore's side was strong because he had the International Confederation of Wizards to help him behind the scenes, but Voldemort also directly controlled the entire Norwegian wizarding world.

Almost all the prominent wizards there were branded with the Dark Mark by him, and he used both kindness and force to tie them to the chariot by means of letters of allegiance and other means.

Either an all-out war breaks out with everyone falling to the ground, or both sides can just engage in small fights under the table.

It must be said that when Voldemort left Great Britain, it was like a dragon swimming in the deep sea or a tiger returning to the mountains. His mind was immediately freed.

As a result, people like Dumbledore, because of their fear of taking the risk, were not as effective as Voldemort in taking more actions.

These things consumed so much of Dumbledore's energy that he had no time to find a professor willing to fill the gap.

The school will start in about twenty days. If there is no professor available, the Ministry of Magic will have to assign someone else.

But these are all trivial matters. Ted just learned about them and then went back to his own research.

As for wizards, magic is the most fundamental thing. Let them play with intrigues and so on.

As a result, a few days later, Ted suddenly received a secret letter from Lucius.

Two years ago, Ted agreed with Lucius on a confidential way to communicate with him so as to avoid being exposed.

And a few months ago, in order to ensure that he could hide it from Voldemort, he even sealed some of his memories.

Even he himself didn't remember any interactions with Ted, let alone know that he had betrayed Voldemort.

However, this seal naturally has a back-up plan, that is, when the conditions are triggered, the seal will be lifted and memory will be restored.

The reason why Lucius' memory was restored was because his wife's cousin came to see him.

That's Bellatrix Lestrange!

This crazy woman was a die-hard fan of Voldemort, and at a certain timeline, she even gave birth to a daughter for Voldemort.

Although she was mentally ill, she was deeply trusted by Voldemort, a trust that was probably greater than that of any other Death Eater.

The deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Potter and Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom were directly related to her. She was one of Neville and Harry's biggest enemies.

Just last night, she suddenly appeared in Knockturn Alley and contacted Lucius through the Dark Mark, asking him to cooperate with her and complete the task assigned to them by their master.

After Lucius regained his memory, he thought about it and contacted Ted.

……

"So, Voldemort wants you to cooperate with Bella and rob Gringotts?!" Ted asked curiously.

This sounds a bit ridiculous. Is Voldemort so short of money?
"It doesn't have to be robbery. It could be theft. Anyway, it was to get something from her own vault. Bella didn't say what it was, and she wouldn't let me ask."

Lucius was a little nervous. After all, he was already half dead in Voldemort's side, but not completely dead yet.

Now that he had recovered his memory, he was completely certain that his cruel master wanted to kill his entire family, and he wanted to do it in a slow and torturous way.

It was because I threw away the notebook he gave me and broke it. That was his Horcrux, his life!

So, now I only have Ted's leg to hug!

As for Dumbledore, to put it bluntly, he couldn't even protect the people in the Order of the Phoenix. How many people died?

Instead of relying on him, it is better to choose a cemetery with good feng shui for yourself, so that the grass on the grave can grow more vigorously.

Ted: Get one item from Gringotts, by any means...

That should be the Gold Cup.

As early as two months ago, Neville had a nightmare. It was probably when Voldemort took back the soul fragment of the Resurrection Ring.

From Ted's observation, the soul fragment in Neville's mind was even a little scared...

Among Voldemort's Horcruxes, two are special.

The first one was the diary. After all, it was the first time, and I was not skilled enough, which left the biggest flaw - the young Voldemort had his own consciousness and thoughts in the diary!

If the young Voldemort were successfully resurrected, he might even compete with Voldemort himself for the position of legitimacy!

And the second is Neville!
When Voldemort was bitten by the big melon and bitten back, he was not prepared and accidentally created the Horcrux Neville.

This also means that this soul fragment is not as honest and harmless as other lockets, crowns, golden cups, etc.

It also has a certain degree of self-awareness - in the original book, in the white world, the deformed and weak Voldemort could only lie on the ground and gasp for breath. That was the fragment of Voldemort's soul in Harry's mind.

However, the fragments in Neville's body are extremely weak and small, and they are dormant most of the time. They will only react a little when other Horcruxes or the main body make big movements.

……

According to the information in the original book, Hufflepuff's gold cup was given to Bella by Voldemort, and Bella kept it in the vault of Gringotts.

In the original book, the Iron Triangle disguised themselves as Bella and entered the vault to steal the golden cup.

That's because the British wizarding world had been controlled by Voldemort and the Death Eaters at that time, and Bella had transformed from a fugitive into a legitimate ruling class.

But now, Bella is still a prisoner, so she naturally cannot go to Gringotts and take things out openly.

Let's put it this way, if she dared to appear in front of the fairy, the fairy would probably rob her!
Don't ever think of anything like neutrality or fairness.

Switzerland claims to be permanently neutral, with a century-old banking industry as its benchmark. But after the defeat of the Swiss, many Swiss officers who had huge deposits in their bank and managed to escape were secretly killed by them!
This way the money has no owner and belongs to the bank. That is definitely a huge sum of money!
This is pretty much Bella's situation now.

So they had to find a way to steal or rob the gold cup.

But Gringotts is not an amusement park where you can come and go as you please. It is a real dragon's den and a tiger's lair, and there is a dragon living under it!
It seemed that in the past hundred years, only Professor Quirrell, whose head was possessed by Voldemort, had almost succeeded in Gringotts.

Other wizards really don't have that ability. Lucius is now very worried, afraid that Voldemort will take the opportunity to abandon him. While taking away the golden cup, he also exposed himself to Gringotts and the Ministry of Magic.

This possibility is not impossible, it is very likely!

Ted asked: "Bella didn't come back alone, did she? How many people did she bring with her?"

"I saw four people: Antonin Dolohov, Mulciber, Rodolphus Lestrange and his brother Rabastan Lestrange! But I think she must have found more than just me as an insider!" Lucius said hurriedly.

What Lucius meant was not just one accomplice, but also that there were Death Eaters who had escaped trial and would be contacted and used by Bella.

This was inevitable, the Death Eaters had no way of breaking free from Voldemort's control.

There are still quite a few such people in the British wizarding world, perhaps a dozen or twenty of them, and most of them have respectable identities and high status.

"It looks like you want to do something big!" Ted laughed.

"Mr. Malfoy, I have a way to ensure the safety of you and your family. I wonder if you are willing to try it."

Lucius was very cautious and replied carefully: "Please go ahead."

Ted's plan was nothing more than going with the flow.

Since that bitch Bella wants to do something big, I'll help her.

But she must not be allowed to take the final golden cup away. If the Horcrux can destroy one, it will be one.

The current situation is that once Voldemort recovers too many Horcruxes, his brain will work better. This is very bad!

The way to save Lucius and his family is very simple, that is, to let him "die"!
If this operation fails, no matter what happens to others, Lucius will "die".

In this way, no matter how angry Voldemort is, he won't bother a dead person, right?
This also allowed Voldemort to vent his anger. If Voldemort saw that Lucius was alive and well, he would inevitably attack him one day. It would be better for him to fake his death and escape.

It was only a good thing for Lucius, as it got him out of the picture, but it was not good for Ted.

After all, he was a good chess piece and an internal accomplice with a high status, but he was ruined by this.

But Ted didn't care. It was just a casual move and he didn't expect to gain much.

We are not those cold-blooded intelligence agencies, so we will not force old Malfoy to risk his life.

To be honest, the value of Lucius as a chess piece was not high.

The person Voldemort trusted the most was Bella, the person he entrusted the most important task to was Snape, and then it was Lucius' turn, and he also had other competitors.

Now he is a thorn in Voldemort's side and his life is in danger at any time.

Besides, Draco is one of us now, so we can't just keep sending his father to play Infernal Affairs. If he really plays it to death, how can we meet in the future?
Lucius was naturally extremely excited when he heard Ted's plan.

Ted waved his hand: "Don't thank me. Thank yourself for choosing the light."

"Go back and prepare, and be loyal to Voldemort generously and brilliantly, so that he won't cause trouble for your wife and Draco."

"I understand! I understand! I must let the Dark Lord see my loyalty!" Lucius is a smart man.

……

Of course, more things like this would harm Voldemort and benefit him, but Ted would definitely not do it himself.

Let Headmaster Dumbledore do more work!

Ted quietly informed Dumbledore that Bella was active in the country with several Death Eater confidants, and it seemed that they were going to do something big to Gringotts.

When Voldemort was conducting a war chess simulation battle with Dumbledore, he also sent his confidants, which was definitely not a trivial matter.

Do you think it could be a Horcrux?

Dumbledore looked at Ted with very strange eyes. He always felt that this boy was more sinister than Voldemort!
However, this matter could not be taken lightly, so he took it over.

To be on the safe side, Dumbledore did not even use the manpower of the Order of the Phoenix - after all, Voldemort had been working in the British wizarding world for more than twenty years, and you couldn't tell who was on whose side.

So, Dumbledore used his connections to gather a group of foreign wizards and came to Britain secretly.

Originally, it would be most appropriate to cooperate with the goblin on this matter.

After all, the other party wants to rob Gringotts.

But if it is possible that the British wizard is Voldemort's man, then the goblin is a goblin worth gold Galleons.

There was no guarantee that some goblin would come to Voldemort with the information and sell it for a good price.

Although the result is most likely to be a combination of Cruciatus and Lexicon - wanting to earn the Dark Lord's gold galleons, isn't that the same treatment as the goblins who want to make armor to earn Deathwing's money?

……

On the morning of August 8, just as Gringotts opened, it was suddenly attacked in a long-planned raid!

Several wizards who were withdrawing and exchanging money in the bank, and seven or eight wizards who suddenly rushed out from outside the door, directly attacked the goblin.

In the first round of raids, eight goblins were knocked down by curses, at least three of which were killing curses, which directly killed the big ones.

The remaining five were not much better, they all used powerful black magic, which would at least cripple the patients if not kill them.

Then some of these wizard thugs began to set up magic arrays to block communication between the inside and outside and prevent anyone from providing support.

Some people rushed to the underground vault as planned - they didn't take any small rail cars, but directly rushed down with large drilling machinery!

Originally, there were multiple measures set up here, such as no-fly zone and developing potion waterfall, but those were all to prevent infiltration. They just broke in directly!

That large drilling rig is eight meters long! It's really powerful!
The walls and the ground were directly shattered by the big drill, and it advanced all the way to the underground vault at lightning speed!
What’s funny is that this thing is a masterpiece of fairies. It is generally not sold to the public and is extremely expensive. It is a black market smuggled item.

By the time the Ministry of Magic and the Aurors received the news, it was already seven minutes later. The magic robbers had already begun to storm the vault door! At this time, many smuggling goblins and fishmen suddenly appeared outside, running around to attract attention!
The big drill bit was drilling on the vault door made by the goblin Mo Yin, and sparks were flying! The good news is that the drilling machines sold are all inferior products, and the drill bits are not made of enough materials, so the vault door can still hold for a while!

But these magical robbers were well prepared. They even prepared means to restrict the fire dragon - the same mental taming device that the fairies used to control magical animals - the spirit ring!
According to the original plan, the big drill would destroy the vault door within a minute, and Bella would be able to get the golden cup.

They even had time to destroy and loot a few more vaults.

On the one hand, we want to prevent others from seeing our purpose directly, and on the other hand, we can't let our trip be in vain and return empty-handed after entering a treasure trove!

But an accident still happened. A preset spell suddenly appeared in the underground vault, and the violent explosion stunned everyone!

A solidification spell! Everyone and everything within the range was as if petrified!
This was set up by Dumbledore who sent someone to take money from the vault.

It took three minutes before a Death Eater with stronger magical powers broke the spell and gradually recovered from the paralysis and petrification.

But with this delay, there isn't enough time.

What’s even more fatal is that the spirit taming headband was thrown away by the fire dragon!

The old man's protein eye, whose eyes were almost blind, immediately started to show its power, spitting out flames crazily!

We have to assign several people to deal with the old fire dragon!
It is said that later the goblin's guards arrived and fought with the robbers who failed to escape in time for a few minutes. Then these guys broke into the vault, lost some manpower, broke through the siege, and escaped with the flying broom.

As a result, they were bumped into by a group of foreign wizards who came to exchange ideas. Another fierce battle broke out, and in the end only two or three people escaped. The rest were all killed in the battle!

Lucius died a very heroic death, his body burned directly into a piece of charcoal.

Malfoy made great efforts and spent a lot of money this time. In the end, people died! The loss was huge!
But Bella was lucky enough to escape overseas with two Death Eaters and return to Voldemort.

In this operation, the golden cup was snatched away by a group of foreign wizards, and all her people were killed or injured, including her nominal husband and brother-in-law.

Even she herself lost an arm and an ear.

"Ah~~~" After seeing these defeated soldiers, Voldemort tightly gripped the snake staff in his hand and let out an angry roar.
