Chapter 486 Killing and Being Killed
Polk cursed Gryffindor and the son of Slytherin, and organized a group to steal the goblin sword.
Tertius listened expressionlessly. As a spellbreaker at Gringotts, he dealt with goblins on a daily basis, and he was very aware of their inferiority:
Greedy, greedy for money, and full of lies.
The goblin's skill in adding oil and vinegar is no less than that of Rita Skeeter, so it's good to listen to their stories.
Moreover, Tertius doesn't care about the historical issue of ownership of the sword, he is more concerned at the moment...
Where is Ravenclaw's tomb? !
"The entrance is at the bottom of the Clyde River." Polk said quite proudly:
"I have been here several times, cleaned out the mud, and successfully found the gate of the underground palace, but..."
"It's just that you can't open the door and need me to help you break the curse?" Tertius said.
"That's right." Polk shouted excitedly, "You are the best curse-breaker in Gringotts. You have opened the tombs of many pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings."
Tertius smiled self-confidently: "But this is Ravenclaw's tomb, she is the most intelligent witch in the world, trying to crack her tomb... will be very difficult!"
Polk knew that Tertius was asking himself for a reward, he smiled and said:
"As long as you can enter the secrets of this treasure house, you and I will share all the gains, how about it?"
Tertius was greatly surprised, and looked at the old goblin in front of him with flickering eyes.
It seems that the magic at the entrance is really strong, leaving Polk with nothing to do...otherwise it would be impossible to divide the accounts half-fifty.
His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly grinned and said, "Deal... Hurry up and take me there."
The two continued to walk forward and finally reached the riverside.
After the heavy rain, the already turbulent river surged, and the river roared past with mud, floating grass and broken dead wood.
Looking at the mighty and swift brown torrent, Tertius couldn't help frowning: "Are we going down to the bottom of the river?"
The water looked deep and rushing, he didn't want to go down, and was accidentally swept away by the undercurrent.
"That's not necessary." Polk stepped on a flat boulder under his feet and said excitedly:
"I dug a robbery hole long ago, which can lead directly to the entrance of the underground palace."
Polk waved his arm, and the boulder slowly floated up, revealing a hole with a diameter of more than one meter.
Pork lit an oil lamp and entered the cave first, followed by Tertius. He was much taller than the goblin, so he could only hunched over.
Orange flames guide the way, and the tunnel twists and turns and becomes narrower. After walking for a long time, the two arrive at a dark cave.
"This is the gate of the tomb." Polk walked quickly towards a boulder, took out a dagger from his pocket, and scratched vigorously, but only sparked a long series of dazzling sparks!
Even the dagger made by the goblin couldn't pierce a single bit. Tertius finally believed that Polk hadn't lied!
He also walked forward, first pressed his ear against the rock wall, as if listening, then tapped the rock with his magic wand, muttering words.
Pork's eyes widened, and he saw that the originally dull boulder slowly showed faint thin lines, like slender silver veins, spreading across the rock.
At first they were nothing more than pale spider webs, very slender, shimmering intermittently only when the wand was touched, but as Tertius' spells became faster and faster, the lines became wider and wider clear.
Finally, the whole pattern is discernible:
A huge eagle with a crown on its head and a magical fishlike creature in its talons.
Tertius lightly touched the eagle with his wand, and he murmured a spell, those silver lines shone and faded... The huge gray rock remained motionless.
"How?" Polk asked impatiently.
"Difficult!" Tertius stared at the rock wall, frowning and said:
"I've never seen such magic. It's Ravenclaw."
"Even you can't open it?" Polk was a little disappointed.
Tertius glanced at Polk lightly, took another step back, and said, "This is Ravenclaw's tomb, it needs some patience and time!"
"How long do you need?"
"It's hard to say." Tertius smiled, "But there is one thing, I think we must discuss it first..."
"Discuss what?" Polk asked.
"When will you die!"
Tertius suddenly raised his wand, and a ball of light shot out from the tip of the wand, falling on Polk.
Before Polk could react, the black magic cut him open from the spine to the abdomen, and the internal organs and blood sprayed out and sprinkled into the dust, the color was as red as grape wine.
Polk fell to the ground, exhaling far more than inhaling. After Tertius approached, he squatted down and chuckled softly:
"Don't blame me for being cruel, this is Ravenclaw's tomb, how could it be 50% or 50%? Even if it is 91%, I can't bear it.
Besides, there may be Ravenclaw's diadem that has been missing for thousands of years in the tomb. If it is found, is it for you or for me?
At that time, we will still inevitably have a fight, why don't I finish you now. "
Polk glared at Tertius angrily, but the blood gushing from his mouth made him speechless.
"Don't look at me like that. Since you're here to rob the tomb and do this kind of illegal activity, you have the consciousness of being killed." Tertius said with a smile:
"But don't be sad, wait for me to crack the magic, enter this tomb, and bury you in it."
"It is the greatest honor in your life to be buried in the same tomb as Ravenclaw!"
A warm voice suddenly sounded. "Professor Ravenclaw is my beloved elder, let a goblin be buried in her tomb... As a junior, I don't agree."
Hearing the stranger's voice, the hairs all over Tertius stood on end. He immediately raised his staff and looked into the distance.
It's just that after seeing the person coming, Tertius, who was originally terrified, regained his composure in an instant.
The cave was dimly lit. Although he couldn't see the face of the person who came, he could tell that he was just a teenager, not an adult wizard!
Tertius showed a sinister smile and said:
"Boy, did you follow us in?"
"I can only say that I met by chance. I have been here before, and I am standing where you are." Rove smiled and said:
"The place where the goblin named Polk lay was where Professor Hufflepuff stood, but that was already a thousand years ago."
Tertius was amused by these words, and he felt that this kid must have a brain problem.
"It's Hufflepuff again, and it's a thousand years ago again, you look so old-fashioned...why didn't you say you attended Ravenclaw's funeral?"
Rove said with a strange expression: "That's right, I did attend the funeral and helped Ravenclaw carry the coffin with my own hands."
"I still said I was Gryffindor!" Tertius raised his wand again, with a hideous face, and shouted, "Avada Kedavra!"
Rove seemed to be understating the fact that he turned sideways, and just avoided the green light in the blink of an eye. He raised his head abruptly, his eyes burst into brilliance like snake eyes, and said coldly:
"Death stare!"
Tertius saw the boy's magical eyes, his expression froze, his body became pale and stiff, his eyes opened wide, and he suddenly fell to the ground.
"Gryffindor is much more handsome than you." Rove stepped forward and said calmly:
"Of course, Gryffindor is still far inferior to me. Professor Hufflepuff admits this."
