Chapter 250 Kingsley
Unaware of his surroundings, Ryan started by squinting at the sand and stones, and even used magic to make his voice linger in place to confuse the man in black robes.
Then the wand points to the broken scales and rubies scattered on the ground, and uses Transfiguration to transform them into a rope.
The ropes, like sentient snakes, twisted and leaped from the ground onto the black-robed man, binding him tightly.
"I refuse to accept this! You cheated!"
The man in black robes shouted.
After the hood was blown off by the strong wind, Ryan was able to see what he looked like.
An ordinary middle-aged man with a stubble around his chin, a slightly chubby face, light blue eyes, and light brown hair. He looked like the kind of passerby who wouldn't stand out in a crowd.
"Leave two people to keep an eye on him."
A flash of red light, the mark of the Stunning Spell, illuminated the middle-aged man. Ryan knocked him unconscious and tossed him to the arriving wizard.
Immediately, two adult wizards took the black-robed man's wand, while the other used his own wand to cast spells such as petrification and incapacitation. Working together, they ensured that the man would not wake up.
Why had I never heard of a wizard who could be considered an elite Auror even in the Ministry of Magic before? — Ryan increasingly felt that there was a great secret behind this matter.
Especially when he threw the black-robed man to the wizards behind him, not a single one of them recognized him!
You have to understand that the magical world is only so big. You can run into all sorts of relatives and friends just by going out for a stroll. How could so many wizards not recognize this man in black robes!
The wizards behind him hadn't considered this; they were simply surprised that among so many people present, not a single one could identify the man in black.
"Why don't I recognize this person? Could they be from somewhere else?"
"That's quite possible."
"Wizards from other places came to England to attack goblins and destroy Gringotts?"
At this moment, the once grand marble hall was a dilapidated disaster scene, and the once neatly arranged rows of long counters, bronze balances and rubies were now scattered as waste on the ground.
The only thing that remained intact were the countless doors leading to different places in the hall, but they were all open now, clearly indicating that the intruders had entered the basement through these doors.
"Gringotts' underground vaults are winding and labyrinthine, making it very difficult for us to pinpoint the location of intruders."
As Ryan sealed the doors with walls of fire, he said to the wizards behind him, "Therefore, we should leave the majority of our people here to wait and ambush any invaders who want to leave."
Gringotts' underground vaults have extremely strong security measures, such as anti-Apparition Charms and anti-detection Charms. The former prevents intruders from leaving the vault directly, while the latter prevents them from pinpointing the correct location within the vault. It is said that deep within the vaults reside magical creatures like fire dragons, which are terrifying and dangerous even to adult wizards.
Of course, there's also the famous Anti-Thief Waterfall, but this time it might not be very effective.
Because this time it wasn't thieves, but sneaky petty thieves, but rather robbers who came openly and brazenly. The anti-thief waterfall, which washes away magical disguises, was completely ineffective; the intruders didn't need any disguises at all.
Other fairy guards, complex gate defense magic, and treasures enhanced with scorching and replication spells—these were not even worth considering for Ryan. After all, what magic did fairies know? They were only good at forging.
"They've finally arrived." He wanted to lead his men down, but he was worried that the wizards present were not very strong and there would be some casualties. Fortunately, another group of Aurors arrived just in time.
The Aurors who went to Knockturn Alley to take away the Squibs were not the same group as before. It is estimated that the Ministry of Magic must have emptied its coffers to gather these twenty or thirty Aurors while also assigning personnel to stay behind at the Ministry.
"Mr. Ryan, we are here to await your command as instructed by the Council of Ministers. All thirty of us are now present. Please give your orders."
The leader of the Aurors spoke loudly. He was a tall, shrewd-looking black man.
Many members of this team appear quite young. Ryan reasonably surmised that the team was a mix of full-fledged Aurors and prospective Aurors.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Kingsley Shackle."
Kingsley Shackle, Dumbledore had mentioned this name—Lane remembered that he was a rare elite among the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, and also a person with a strong sense of justice who dared to fight.
"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Kingsley. Please leave some men behind to assist the wizards present in sealing off this place, and then select elite men to come with me into the underground vault."
"it is good."
Kingsley’s voice was calm and slow, but very powerful. After he finished speaking, he immediately began to mobilize his men.
It was clear that there were many elites among this group. Kingsley simply made a few gestures, and these people naturally took their positions, watching the door of the underground vault warily.
Then, along with several elites, they entered the underground vault through the front door.
In this way, the well-trained Oro possessed the most basic self-control, and since they acted together in groups and supervised each other, they had no opportunity to enrich themselves.
This also avoids having Ryan choose to test the humanity of the adult wizards who followed him to Gringotts for pan-magical humanitarian relief.
After the group left, the non-Aurors who were adults followed suit and occupied what they considered to be effective positions, keeping a close watch on the doors engulfed in flames.
Their mission was to capture any unfamiliar people they saw, whether they were wizards or fairies, and not to leave the area until the crisis was resolved.
"Why is there so much sand and gravel here?" Those who remained in the main hall discovered that their area—near the center of the hall—was filled with sand and gravel.
These are not found elsewhere.
Everyone shook their heads in confusion; they had no idea where the sand and gravel came from.
"Perhaps the fairies aren't that rich. The building materials here aren't marble; they've just used magic to create the appearance of marble, while the interior is just sand and stone."
Some people have put forward their own hypotheses.
As soon as this hypothesis was put forward, many people nodded in agreement.
The wizards launched a critique of Gringotts as all show and no substance, completely ignoring what the few dying goblins lying on the ground, frantically shaking their heads, were thinking.
Listening to the wizards' discussion.
The fairies finally closed their eyes peacefully, with only two lines of clear tears and the rise and fall of their chests proving that they were still breathing, but that was all they had left.
