"Of course we all know that there are backups of the keys, but only the higher-ups at Gringotts have those keys."

And they won't admit they have a backup key.

After saying that, Dumbledore looked at Lin Bei and said, "I'm counting on you from now on!"

Lin Bei nodded, pointed at the vault door, and shouted loudly, "Bang!"

"Wait, wait!" Dumbledore quickly grabbed Lin Bei's hand to stop him. "There's no need for such a big fuss."

Lucius, standing to the side, asked with some confusion, "I think there's no problem. This vault door is made of various magical metals, which are not only precise but also have strong resistance to high temperatures, cold temperatures, and corrosion."

Besides the Explosion Curse, I can't think of a better option.

After saying that, he gave Lin Bei a knowing smile, as if he wanted to take credit for his work.

Dumbledore glared fiercely at Lucius.

What do you know?! What do you mean you can't think of a better option?!

Are you trying to get yourself killed?!

After cursing Lucius in his heart, Dumbledore gently advised, "Our Professor Lin, do you have any other magic that can open the vault door?"

Anything as light as possible is fine.

We don't have to be limited to spells~

Lin Bei glanced at Dumbledore, who was giving him a stiff smile, and said, "Troublesome~"

"I know, I know."

After confirming that Lin Bei truly understood what he meant, Dumbledore finally let go.

Lin Bei casually waved his hand, and a wisp of flame appeared out of thin air.

The flames trembled slightly in mid-air, fueled by a massive amount of energy.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a giant fiery tiger that was over two meters tall.

A scorching heatwave swept in, forcing everyone to retreat.

Lucius, somewhat embarrassed, reached out and took off his top hat, noticing the faint smoke rising from it, and quickly threw it aside.

He moved closer to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore glanced at Lucius, who had come closer, and then began to wave the Elder Wand in his hand.

"Frost and snow are falling softly!"

As the Elder Wand danced, snowflakes began to fall from above their heads.

The giant fiery tiger roared silently to the sky before charging toward the vault door.

A giant hand slammed and scratched violently against the vault's magical metal alloy door.

The surrounding heatwave suddenly contracted and then exploded when the tiger's claws, which were being compressed and controlled, made contact with the door again.

At this moment, Dumbledore's gaze was focused on the fiery tiger, the flames forming the tiger giving him a feeling of his soul being burned.

It was as if all the bad things I had done were reflected in the flames.

"Ugh."

Lucius growled, even though the surrounding area was already covered by the cooling effect of the Frost Curse, the burning sensation of the high temperature on him did not lessen at all.

As if he had noticed something, Dumbledore whispered, "Lucius, don't look at the flames."

Bow your head and close your eyes!

Chapter 212

Judging from the tiny amount of heat it just emitted, the temperature of this fiery tiger has definitely surpassed the strongest breath of the previous Australian protein eye.

Most dragons in the Harry Potter world have organs that allow them to breathe what is called 'dragon breath'.

At the same time, its magic resistance and physical resistance are not weak. Even the smallest fire dragon weighs about two to three tons.

However, due to the difference in world levels, these fire dragons are still vastly different from the dragons in high-magic worlds.

As time passes little by little.

Under such intense heat and impact, a hole began to be carved out of the seemingly ordinary door.

Lin Bei showed no surprise whatsoever.

If it were Dumbledore and his native wizards, they might not be able to break through the magical metal door in such a short time.

As creations of the goblins, these little dwarves may not be the most attractive, but they are masters of forging. Even the Gryffindor sword, known as the Horcrux destroyer, was made by these goblins.

The metal door that was so easily broken open was top-tier in both physical resistance and magical tolerance.

Even the infamous dark magic, Fiendfyre, cannot be destroyed in a short time.

The flames produced by the Fiendfire spell are not the same as those produced by ordinary spells that are powered by energy.

Its use does not require the caster to be very powerful. As one of the oldest forms of black magic, it can be used even by first-year students as long as they learn it.

It was listed as a forbidden spell entirely because of its unscientific properties of endless devouring and burning, and its extremely difficult-to-control characteristics.

This is comparable to Amaterasu from Naruto.

The reason it is difficult to control is that this magical flame has its own consciousness.

At the same time, as long as it is given enough energy or combustible material, it can keep burning, and the bright yellow flame indicates that its temperature is over 800 degrees Celsius.

Lin Bei, however, used the Purgatory Fire, also known as Hellfire.

This is a fire unique to hell, possessing an extremely high temperature and the effect of burning souls.

As a hellfire obtained from Mephisto, it is indeed weaker than Fiendfire in some attributes, but it has a clear advantage: its temperature is controllable, unlike Fiendfire which has a clear upper limit.

Looking at the gaping hole in front of me, with molten metal flowing through it, I felt the air distorting.

The terrifying infernal tiger had already been driven away by Lin Bei.

A jet of water was poured onto it.

"嗤啦~"

A mist dissipated.

The entire vault inside was revealed.

The floor and ceiling were filled with gold coins and golden goblets, silver armor, the fur of various strange animals with spines or drooping wings, and magic potions in jars.

Illuminated by the shimmering fluorescent light, the gold coins and jewels reflected a dazzling glow, illuminating the entire cave in a magnificent display.

Watch it all.

Dumbledore and Lucius couldn't help but glance at it a couple more times.

In terms of inherent nature, humans are not much different from the legendary dragons.

They all really like shiny things.

Otherwise, our ancestors wouldn't have specifically chosen metals like copper, silver, and gold, as well as gemstones, as symbols of wealth.

The sheer amount of wealth suddenly piled up in front of you creates a shock that makes you tremble and your heart stop beating—a feeling that is incomparable to staring at a string of numbers on a piece of paper.

He seemed to have noticed the greed in Lucius's eyes.

Lin Bei said with a smile, "Our most important goal is the Hufflepuff Cup."

As for these valuables~

You can take as much as you can; I won't take a single penny.

I recall that Hogwarts' finances weren't exactly looking good either.

Lucius, somewhat tempted, stepped forward and reached out to grab a silver decorative bottle to the side.

Dumbledore quickly stopped him, "Don't move! These things are all enchanted!"

It's the Flame Curse and the Copying Curse.

Lucius asked awkwardly, "Can you untie it?"

Dumbledore shook his head and said, "Not in the short term. Unless the goblins break the curse, anything that touches it will burn and be copied. Although the copies are worthless, they still have enough weight."

If you try to take this treasure, you'll eventually be crushed to death by it!

"Let's find Hufflepuff's cup first," Dumbledore said, his eyes scanning the items in the vault.

“Here!” Lucius said, pointing to a row of bottles and jars.

And just then.

"boom!"

A gunshot suddenly rang out.

Then came a series of popping sounds, like "da da da~".

"Looks like we've been discovered!" Lin Bei said calmly.

Looking at the treasure in the vault, which had been enchanted with the Fire Curse and the Copying Curse, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Even masters of spells need to spend some time breaking the spell.

But we're here to destroy Horcruxes, so why are we taking this thing with us?

For example, one could directly cast a Fiery Inferno spell to engulf the treasures in flames.

Just like in the Harry Potter movies.

The Fiery Blaze engulfed the room in the House of Requirement where the crown was kept, directly destroying the Horcrux.

Why didn't Dumbledore use such a simple method?

The main reason is the uncontrollability of the fierce fire.

Once summoned, it may turn against the summoner.

Just like Hermione can summon it, but she doesn't dare to in the movies.

It's easy to release, but very difficult to take it back.
