That morning, not long after Gringotts opened, Quirrell and Voldemort arrived at Gringotts.
Voldemort explained to Quirrell again how they would break into Gringotts today.
"You pretend to conduct business, find a high-ranking goblin in Gringotts, and then I will control your body to use the Imperius Curse to make it take us to the underground vaults."
"It's that simple. Did you bring all the Galleons?"
Quirrell nodded nervously, his hand gripping the money pouch at his waist with extra force.
For Voldemort's plan to break into Gringotts and seize the Philosopher's Stone, he had mortgaged all his current assets through the black market overnight and borrowed so many Galleons.
Thinking of the interest on the black market loan, Quirrell's heart bled.
However, when he thought again that this was a sacrifice for his master's glorious return, Quirrell felt that it was all worth it.
When Voldemort made a comeback, he would definitely receive unimaginable rewards!
Besides, these goblins at Gringotts probably never dreamed that Voldemort himself would personally break into Gringotts.
What could possibly go wrong?
It was impossible!
Thinking of this, Quirrell calmed down, stepped into Gringotts, took out his money pouch, shook it, and said to the goblins.
"I want to conduct a large transaction. Please get your lobby manager."
When the goblins saw Quirrell, especially his large turban, a coldness flickered in the depths of their eyes.
The large turban, it seemed this was the guy from last night!
The note left by this thief yesterday clearly said he would enter Gringotts under the moonlight to retrieve treasures, but now he was coming during the day?
It seemed that letter was meant to lull Gringotts into a false sense of security, to make Gringotts relax its daytime defenses!
As expected, he was a cunning thief, not a single word he said was credible!
The Gringotts lobby manager quickly walked over, showing no hint of suspicion on his face, and said enthusiastically to Quirrell.
"Esteemed guest, congratulations, this transaction of yours is the one hundred thousandth transaction Gringotts has handled this year."
"To give back to new and old customers, Gringotts has decided to give you a free underground vault, location of your choice, permanently free!"
"Would you like to come with me to pick one out now?"
Hearing this, Quirrell was stunned at first, and then a surge of joy couldn't help but well up in his heart.
An underground vault at Gringotts was not cheap and very rare. Only ancient families or those with wealth and power could own an underground vault here.
Although Quirrell was an excellent graduate of Hogwarts, he hadn't managed to earn an underground vault at Gringotts over the years.
He never expected to be so lucky today, to be given one directly, and it was permanently free?!
Most importantly, the crucial step to breaking into Gringotts - entering the underground vault - was solved just like that?
This was too lucky!
Quirrell couldn't help but say to Voldemort in his heart.
Master, our luck is truly amazing. Getting the Philosopher's Stone now will be effortless!
This must be the luck brought to me by Master temporarily residing in my body, great Master, great Dark Lord!
Voldemort said indifferently.
"Alright, look at your pathetic appearance, just an underground vault makes you so excited."
"When I regain my physical body, let alone an underground vault, even giving you the vault of an ancient family will be easy."
"Quick, have the goblin take you to the underground vault."
When Quirrell heard Voldemort's promise, he was filled with gratitude and tears, and quickly followed the Gringotts lobby manager towards the underground vault.
At this time, the goblins on the side also crowded around Quirrell as he walked down.
Quirrell was still sighing in his heart.
Is this the VIP treatment at Gringotts?
Those wealthy and powerful wizards are surrounded like this every time they come. It's truly a wonderful experience.
But soon, I will also be one of the most powerful and wealthiest wizards!
Soon, riding in the goblins' mine cart, Quirrell arrived at the entrance of the underground vault.
Here, a group of goblins were already standing by in full force.
Quirrell initially thought these goblins were here to welcome him, the lucky customer, and even nodded at them.
But the next moment, at the end of the passage, a massive figure crawled through, radiating a sense of heat before even getting close.
This was none other than the Ukrainian Ironbelly guarding the Gringotts underground vault, which had been led out by the goblins!
Seeing this setup, Quirrell's face showed even more flattery.
"Such a grand setup?"
"Gringotts' hospitality is truly impressive."
However, the next moment, those goblins looked at Quirrell with cold sneers and mockery.
"You idiot."
"You don't really think we're here to welcome you and even give you an expensive underground vault, do you?"
Their eyes were filled with fierce light.
"Today, you will die in the depths of Gringotts, buried in the belly of a dragon!"
Hearing these words, Quirrell was stunned, and Voldemort, who was attached to Quirrell, was also stunned.
No, the script wasn't supposed to go like this!
What the hell is going on?!
Quirrell exclaimed with a trembling voice.
"Master, has our plan been exposed?"
Voldemort, on the other hand, reacted extremely quickly and angrily rebuked Quirrell with certainty.
"Nonsense!"
"The plan was decided at the last minute. I didn't even expect to invade Gringotts so quickly before, so how could the Gringotts goblins know?"
"Could it be that I leaked the secret to Gringotts?"
"In that case, there's only one answer..."
"The Gringotts goblins, are they trying to murder for money?!"
Quirrell let out a stunned "Ah."
"Murder for money?"
"Gringotts against me?"
"Master, this, is this a mistake?"
Voldemort said coldly.
"What else could it be?"
"Besides, these guys are goblins, insatiably greedy goblins. What wouldn't they do for Galleons?"
At this moment, without allowing Quirrell and Voldemort to say more, beams of magical light erupted from the goblins' hands, whistling towards Quirrell.
Quirrell's scalp tingled.
He was indeed a decent wizard, but he couldn't possibly withstand the siege of so many goblins.
At this time, Voldemort directly took over Quirrell's body.
With a wave of his wand, terrifying magic power surged out.
Rage was churning in his chest.
"I've only been away from the wizarding world for a little over a decade, and Dumbledore and his students are slandering me behind my back, even claiming that my magic was plagiarized from him. It's utterly shameless."
"Before, I also heard that there were dark wizards wantonly conducting human experiments and killing dozens of people, and the Ministry of Magic Aurors were actually helpless."
"Now Gringotts can actually trick a customer into an underground vault to murder for money for less than a thousand Galleons..."
"Damn it, how did the wizarding world turn into this ghost-like state?"
