Chapter 149 – The Heist (1)
The plan was surprisingly easy. After the pair of vampires arrived at our home a day later, we discussed how we would do it with them on board now. After revealing the vault that Voldemort had and was the target of our little heist, we also learned that Volgonid's one was only a dozen or so below it, at least going by its number.
"They are related." Eleonora explained, "The numbers are connected to the level they are at. The first two numbers give their position on the Y axis and the second two on the X axis, compared to the Gringotts on the surface. The main building."
"How do you know that?" I asked, surprised, while Lockhart was sitting in his armchair next to us, still too nervous about speaking, feeling that he was in a cage with snakes and he was the little mouse waiting to be devoured.
"I was there when it was being built. I had a vault once there, too, and I was explained of it before. You see, I was always someone who asked a lot of questions, ahaha! Of course, that was in the past, but we can stop at HIS vault while going towards ours, and nobody would realize it."
"With you helping us, it should be fine." I nodded, showing them the contract we made with Old Gold. "With this, we will be taken to the vault discretely, and nobody would be the wiser if we stopped there as our route falls in line with your current one."
"Colour me astonished, young Conrad. 'Tis been eons since mine eyes beheld a contract penned by goblins that bore not the mark of deception."
"Thank you, Count." I chuckled, feeling proud that he thought so. It is not every day that you get acknowledged by an ancient being.
"Hey..." Herpo grunted out of nowhere, almost making me laugh.
"Still, I do not trust goblins!" Without batting an eye, I continued, "And even if they stop the cart there and open the vault, I don't want them to know what we are doing. They could immediately go and snitch on us, not directly, but to one of Old Silver's goblins, who then relays the information to others."
