Chapter 65: Ukrainian Ironbelly - A New Artifact!
Evening, November 28
Gringotts Wizarding Bank
Kai had been quite busy for the last three days.
Most of the time he had spent underground, walking, racing, and falling through the many tunnels specifically for the guards’ use. Even though the High Guard had told him that his duty was to kill the rats, the training protocols required him to do all that the other wizards were supposed to do.
The abyss below the bank was a damp, dark mass of black, stony walls and horrors.
The thing that had made Kai furious beyond measure was that Snaglok had not warned him about the significance of the Vault Numbers. Nobody talked to him, but that didn’t mean he had forgotten how to listen.
Monstrous things are guarding the Vault as one goes deeper into the abyss, Kai had heard one wizard say with unknown pride. There are dragons, giant crabs, enormous rats, and even sphinxes guarding those Vaults.
Kai’s breathing had already lost its rhythm when the dragon was mentioned.
How the hell will I bypass all the wizards and the magical creatures at the same time? he had asked himself. Not to mention, the Blood Prophecy still lingered like a gluttonous monster at the back of his mind, ready to devour him at a single instance of negligence.
Now, Kai was getting a hang of the Blood Prophecy after repeating it many times.
There was no true limitation of time, though it didn’t let him see much farther. It focused on Random Encounter, which, by all means, was bound to result in some unfortunate event in case Kai hadn’t known about it beforehand.
