Once the Horcrux secured, they all move in another place, a large empty room. As the Bubble was put down, it open, leaving the cup free to take off. Alex sat down while he was surrounded by the complete seventy-five soldiers, blades in hand and ready to cut him down on the order of the Elder present, observing what will happen.

Not minding them, he starts by closing his eye and put his two hands on the cup, working his magic.

Because he has always kept his eyes close, he had never witnessed what happens on the outside while he was taking down the Horcrux. This was precisely what seen the goblins. As soon as he put his hands on it, the cup starts to leak out a greenish-dark ma.s.s of foul mist. The more exit the cup and clearer the image of a snarling Voldemort face appears.

For the elder, it was all the proof he needs that he hadn"t lied to them, but those through didn"t surface, as he was erupted by what the young wizard was accomplishing in front of them. Since days old, the goblins have always destroyed the possessed artifacts, sometimes losing priceless and even unique pieces but in order to prevent ghosts from past to return, sacrifices where need.

So when he sees that Alex was able to draw the taint out of the artifact, he didn"t bugle of a millimeter, engraving the scene in his mind. He could see what the child was doing, by opening partially his mind to entice the soul shard of a living host, before trapping in in his shield, waving them around it like a spider with his prey.

He couldn"t help but be impressed by the fort.i.tude of his mind to resist those battering a.s.sault to be free and invade the mind, and the sheer prowess he shows in dealing with it. It was easy to see that it wasn"t the first time he did this. Once firmly extracted and in his grasp, All of them shudders have they see him tear apart chunk of the imprint of Voldemort in the soul shard.

As more and more where taken aways, they physically saw it struggle less and less before the entire shard was nothing more than a tainted ama of thick mist. This was also the first step in the unknown for the elder has he never had to interact with a damaged, imprint less piece of soul.

Under their flabbergasted look, they saw him shape and compress the cloud before a forest green aura erupts of him. Invading the cloud has it was shaped, the foul dark color starts to slowly recede, leaving only a pure green spherical shining ball. Completely purified, the ball enters Alex"s head has his aura vanish. When he opened his eyes, all the goblins present unconsciously take a step back at those glowing green eyes seeming able to gaze at the deepest part of their soul.

When they see that the child was himself and the soul shard deal with, all sheath their blades before striking loudly their armor with their right hand to their heart, the salute of a warrior to victorious warrior.

[Completed]

When he opens his eyes, he sees that he just complete his hidden quest since Nagini Horcrux doesn"t exist. Before he could move, another pop-up.

{[Hidden objective: side. "loose end"]

The self-proclaimed Lord Voldemort has split his soul in the form of Horcrux. You have found a way to get rid of them. Because of his destroyed soul shard, he is now unable to split his soul to form another one, all that is left behind is the main wraith.

Condition: Get rid of the last remnant of Tom Marvolo Riddle in this world.

Once he was sure that they weren"t any danger anymore, the elder goblin approach Alex.

"You have done Gringotts a great favor today, Alexander Evans. As promised, the cup is your"s to take, Gringotts will seek compensation directly from the Lestrange vault for those criminal acts. Do you require anything else?"

"I did come in the first place to sell the slain Basilisk to Gringotts." Nodding at this, the elder surprised Alex.

"Yes, Gringotts will be happy to buy the part of the Basilisk that you want to sell."

Hearing this, he takes out the report of the elves, minus the part he wanted to keep, the numerous shed skins, few gallons of blood and venom, a little of the f meat, and the four princ.i.p.al fangs of the beast. When he sees the list along with the measure available for the Basilisk he couldn"t help but ask.

"How old was the beast? Seeing those numbers, it couldn"t be a young one."

"I not sure of the exact year but the beast was birth and raised by Salazar Slytherin as the castle was still being constructed so it should not be less than 1006 years olds."

A millenary beast was an impressive trophy, that it was slain by an eleven-year-old was an act that wouldn"t be surpa.s.sed easily if ever.

"How did you kill it, such a monster hide would have been impervious to most of wizards spells, and being in Hogwarts for two months I doubt that you learn any."

"True, I killed the beast with my hand, magic, and wit. I didn"t let it exit it"s lair completely, the moment the snout was visible I asked Sunny to produce a bright light who blind it momently, leading it to trash before he stunned itself by ramming its head on the hard stone of the earth. While hissing its pain away, I plunge my blade in its higher jaw, directly cutting the bone and brain."

The surrounded goblins, hearing his story while escorting the elder were impressed by the young courage to face such a beast, brain to plan this outcome, and fierceness to take on it with only a blade.

"Could you show me the blade? I m rather interested in a weapon able to slain such a beast."

"If you allow me the use of magic in your presence, I can."

He immediately receives the authorization to do so, and, under the agape goblin"s gaze, he traces his runic circle, producing a ball of light before shaping it in the same form he had used. They were at first surprised to see it but after it, like a hot knife in b.u.t.ter, sink easily in the marbled wall, all were agape at the penetrative power of the blade, while the elder made a mental note to had wards against light damage on the building, one never know when other wizards would think of it, and he would rather be ready that take is pant down at that time.

He was lead to his account manager"s office, and the group once again return to the territory after the elder say that Gringotts would not take a share in the selling of the Basilisk part. Giving his list of the available part to Brokenfang, the goblin rapidly go through before saying that they would take everything besides the skeleton has they didn"t have use of it but did say that some wizard museum could be interested in. Knowing this, he decided to keep it while he would have to recreate false fangs as the goblins will take them.

As they were speaking, the other member of the team was going through the content, seeing the quality of it. Being harvested the following days without any damage, Alex would be able to earn the maximum amount he could of it since Gringotts wouldn"t take a share and they didn"t have to harvest it.

So Gringotts buy ten gallons of blood, five of venom, all the organs, one of the eye strings, the two eyes, all seven layers of skins, 5.7 tons of fleshes, and the remaining fangs. I earn 100,000.00G per gallon of blood, 2,500,000.00G per galleon of venom, 10,000,000.00G for the organs, 250,000.00G for the eye string, and 500,000.00G per eye. The layer of skins was 1,000.00G per feet square for the first, 5,000.00G for the second, 10,000.00G for the third, 25,000.00G for the fourth, 50,000.00G for the fifth, 100,000.00G for the six, and the last, the most durable was sold for 250,000.00G per feet square. The flesh goes for 1,000,000.00G per ton and the set of fang minus the four best goes at a steady 10,000.00G per fang, there 32 of them.

Result? the snake makes me a total of 90,494,000.00G. I think it an appropriate compensation for the bother its causes me.
