Homecoming from Hogwarts

A few hundred feet above the surging sea of ​​magma, Amosta, Amelia and the old goblin Bogrod stared at the magic barrier, standing on a protruding rock platform on the steep rock wall.

Amelia leaned her back against the hot rock wall, staring at the boiling magma for a long time before she came to her senses. Realizing something, she quickly looked at Amosta, but did not see any disappointment on Amosta's face.

Amost was also observing the magma below. He squinted his eyes, and his penetrating gaze seemed to want to see through the barrier of the magma and find out what was going on below. Unfortunately, magma, a creation of extraordinary power brewed by nature, made the magic in the space become extremely chaotic, and Amost could not see the situation below.

"Do you have any way to confirm whether the vault below is intact?"

After a while, Amosta gave up his plan and his eyes fell on Bogrod.

Amosstar's question made Bogrod even more panicked. He could see that Amosstar Braine cared very much about the things in Salazar Slytherin's vault. This was nonsense. Which wizard could refuse the legacy of the great Slytherin?
Whether it is his status among wizards or his position in the eyes of the goblin high-ranking officials, Amos Tower Blaine has the ability to destroy it. What's more, it is the goblins' responsibility to let Slytherin's vault sink into the lava.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Blaine, I. We--"

The old goblin bent down and lowered his head so that it almost touched his feet.

Hearing this, Amosta did not seem angry. Instead, he stared at the family emblem on his palm which still emitted a hint of coolness and fell into deep thought.

Would Salazar Slytherin make such a stupid mistake as to allow the vault he had specially left behind to sink into the lava and be destroyed?
Before Amostar's eyes appeared a sculpture of a young Slytherin in front of the mysterious door in the secret room deep under Hogwarts, a huge cave space that had never been opened.

He was a rebellious and talented wizard.

Arrogant, but not stupid; proud, but not evil;

The four great masters of Hogwarts are resisting the originator of the dark wizard who may bring great harm to the world. It is such an important matter that the four great masters must join forces to respond to Merlin's layout in the more distant history. How could Salazar Slytherin be so dismissive?
The answer is no --
Amosta was more inclined to believe that Slytherin did not consider the minor troubles that its vault would face a thousand years later, but was simply too lazy to care about it, because the vault he left behind would not be damaged in the lava at all.

"Where is the Slytherin vault approximately located?"

Amid the rumbling sound of the magma roaring, Amosta's calm voice clearly reached Bogrod's ears, causing the wrinkles on the old goblin's forehead to suddenly relax, and he was filled with astonishment.

"You're planning on going down into the lava, Amosta!"

The uncanny natural creations shocked and awe Amelia's heart. The epic grandeur of the mythology here suppressed Amelia and made it difficult for her to breathe.

But after hearing Amosta's question, she immediately woke up from her stiffness and looked at him nervously.

"I believe that vault was not damaged by the lava."

Amosta didn't explain anything, just said calmly.

"We're almost there, actually. It's right at the top of the track. There are vaults below that belonged to the oldest families, but they're all abandoned. There's a vault, oh, I mean, if it still exists, there are seven snakes on the door of the vault, and they guard the groove in the middle, which is where the key is placed. This vault doesn't require a goblin to unlock it, you just need to place the key."

Bogrod still looked at Amosta in astonishment, seemingly unable to understand his crazy idea.
"But Mr. Brian, you want to go down into the magma. I know you have great magical powers, but this seems to be beyond the limits of a wizard. Water alone cannot extinguish the magma underground!"

"Beyond the limits of wizards?"

Amosta smiled and shook his head. This was not his first time going down into the lava.

He had done this once in the basement of Azkaban, but at that time there was a magic passage left by Herbo. But since Herbo could leave a passage in the magma that would not be damaged for thousands of years, although Amosta was still no match for that kind of "mythical wizard", it was not a big problem for him to go down into the magma for a short time.

"Wait for me here, I'm going to go see--"

Holding the cold Slytherin family crest tightly in his hand, Amosta looked down indifferently at the dazzling lava lake below, which was like the surface of the sun. His ochre pupils were also reflected into gold by the light of the flames. Amelia wanted to dissuade him again, but after Amosta turned his head and gave her a reassuring smile, she loosened her grip on Amosta's arm unnaturally.

Looking up and around at the huge and boundless cave, the eagerness in Amosta's eyes subsided a little.

He couldn't be too reckless. If a chain reaction was triggered that caused the lava lake below to riot, not to mention Gringotts, half of Diagon Alley would be destroyed!
wow-
The moment he stepped out of the magic barrier, he was hit by a surge of heat. The hot wind blew through Amostaqi's soft gray hair, which looked a little dry and yellow.

Boom!

A thunder suddenly appeared above the rumbling lava lake. The already restless magic power in this place fell into complete frenzy at this moment. Many tangible red hurricanes suddenly emerged in the huge space rendered red. These red hurricanes seemed to be attracted by some force and rushed madly towards Amosta, who had jumped off the platform and was floating 200 feet above the lava lake!
The endless red hurricane that flowed towards Amosta blurred the vision of Amelia and Bogrod. They could only see the figure of Amosta being wrapped in a red ball of light, and the color of that ball of light was gradually becoming brighter!

Ding--
Along with a crisp sound that resounded throughout the underground magma lake, the crimson cave was suddenly filled with endless golden light. The instantaneous strong light forced Amelia to close her eyes tightly, but the gorgeous light could not be blocked even with closed eyes. Amelia even saw with her eyes closed a rising sun emitting a heavy pressure slowly sinking!
Like a god!

Amostas, whose hair and pupils were all golden because of the golden light, had an indescribable majesty on his face. He slowly descended, and the moment the tangible golden light around him touched the surface of the magma, the surface of the magma lake suddenly made a hissing sound and emitted a large amount of white smoke.

Keep sinking!

The golden flames protected Amosta's body, and all the magma that came into contact with it was instantly evaporated into smoke. Looking at this horrifying scene, Amelia and Bogrod on the platform were so shocked that they couldn't say a word!
All you can see is red. Under the erosion of magma, even the rock walls are red like hot metal.

The heat and pressure of the magma made Amosta's magic power flood like a flood. He remained calm and dived quickly.

When Amostas dived hundreds of feet deeper, the magma here also showed a golden color. Through the vague perception of magic, Amostas discovered that there were indeed some abandoned vaults scattered here and there as Bogrod said, and at the bottom, there was a stone door that was still locked.

That's right!

Although it was no longer visible, Amosta could still feel the complex and unimaginable magic nodes and magic corridors distributed on the door, which proved that the protective magic on the door had not failed and Salazar Slytherin's own vault still existed.

The consumption of magic power made Amosita unable to carefully study the door that was of extraordinary value. He controlled his body and moved with difficulty in the thick magma, relying on his magic vision to find the groove where the family emblem was embedded.

Click!

The moment the Mithril Clan Emblem was pressed into the groove, a crisp sound rang in his ears that were filled with rumbling thunder. Then, Amosta saw that the complex magic corridor above the gate was suddenly activated. As the magic flowed smoothly along the corridor, Amosta heard a heavy mechanical sound coming from behind the ancient stone door, but -
After a while of waiting, the door still didn't open.

Amosta frowned slightly. In an instant, many thoughts flashed through his mind. Finally, his lips moved slightly, and his throat tore and made a hissing sound -
"Open"

Wow!

The tightly closed eyes of the seven giant snakes sleeping on the door suddenly opened, and their green eyes tilted towards the space outside the door, emitting a green light that seemed to be real. In the space occupied by the light, the magma quickly faded, and the stone platform soaked in the magma became cool in a few breaths.

Amosta had just controlled himself to land on the platform when the ancient stone door that had not been opened for a thousand years suddenly opened with a loud bang!
