The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts
Chapter 327: Old house trap
Standing in front of Riddle's House, Link felt his body trembling slightly.
He couldn't tell whether this was caused by nervousness or excitement, but the only thing to be sure was that it was definitely not fear.
has made a lot of preparations for this expedition Link.
In addition to the hardware that resembled this set of equipment on his body, he also estimated where Dumbledore might take him.
After excluding such impossible options as the Ravenclaw crown, the most likely ones are the Grottoes, Gringotts, and Riddle House.
The other two are easy to say.
The result of going is nothing more than returning without success, or returning with a full load.
But Riddle House is different.
Because in the original book, Riddle House has always been a hiding place for Voldemort and others during the Goblet of Fire.
In other words, when they came to Riddle's House this time, they could not only harvest the resurrection stone, but they might also directly hit Voldemort, who was still in an extremely weak state.
This is simply a great opportunity!
"Do you know where this is?"
At this moment, Dumbledore's slightly ethereal voice suddenly rang again.
Link frowned, squeezed the magic wand in his hand, still staring at the old villa vigilantly:
"Riddle Mansion, you just said it."
"No, no, I mean, do you know where Riddle House is?" Dumbledore shook his head and said without waiting for Link to answer. "This place should have been called Gunter. The old house is the last shelter of the Gunter family."
Dumbledore’s pupils began to spread slowly, seeming to be remembering something, “The Gunter family is the only surviving descendant of Salazar Slytherin. For this, they are very proud. And in order to continue this glory. The purity of their bloodlines, they chose to reproduce with close relatives.
The result of this is that their offspring have become more and more stupid, irritable and restless, and the powerful magic talent that should have been deposited in their blood has slowly disappeared. In the end, after generations of people continue to spend extravagantly and desperately, the Gunter family fell.
At present, the last remaining heir of the Gunter family is Tom Riddle, or Voldemort.
Tom is a condensate of the glory of generations of the Gunter family.
When he was a teenager, he was humble, polite, amazingly talented, and wise. However, his own birth was an accident, or rather, a scandal rejected by everyone in the Gunter family.
Just like there have been countless vulgar love tragedies in the past, Tom’s mother, who was born in the Gunter family, but lost her magical talent because of close relatives, was loved by the poor woman treated as a maid by the Gunter family. Got a Muggle. Tom is the crystallization of her love after she confused the Muggle man with ecstasy.
How can the love that is only maintained with ecstasy last long?
The happy life of Tom's family was quickly shattered by the failure of the ecstasy.
The abandoned Tom was led into Hogwarts by me. I thought he would gradually be educated into a good boy. It's a pity that I underestimated the hatred and ambition of that child.
The child returned to Gunter’s old house as soon as he gained strength, helped his poor mother avenge his uncle and grandfather, and occupied the old house at the same time.
According to what I know about him, if he really hides those Horcruxes, then this must be one of the places where Horcruxes are hidden. "
Although Link had known this part of the plot for a long time, he still did not interrupt Dumbledore, but rather dissatisfiedly said after Dumbledore finished his speech:
"I don't think it's time to tell me about the past. If this old mansion is as extraordinary as you think it is to Voldemort, then he is probably hiding in this mansion now!"
"Don't worry, Link," Dumbledore raised his head slightly, as if letting the cold winter wind stroke his cheek, and as if he was sensing something, "I didn't smell him, so he must Not here."
Hearing that Link's tight muscles relaxed, a sense of disappointment rose in his heart.
He has no reason not to believe in the strongest white wizard today.
Since Dumbledore said that Voldemort was not here, this old house should be a short house.
"But what you said makes sense, time is not waiting, let's start."
Dumbledore said again.
After said, his long stagnant legs finally moved.
Link quickly followed.
The two pushed open the decayed iron fence door, and walked towards the gloomy old house that had been completely shrouded in hazy moonlight, stepping on the ground withered grass and gravel.
try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){} During this period, Link keenly noticed that there was a vague trail that seemed to be stepped on in the clearing they were walking on.
This makes Link's heart tight again.
Because it means that someone must have frequented this Riddle House recently, and this group of people besides Voldemort, Link can't think of anyone else.
Compared with Link, Dumbledore was much calmer. He walked with a relaxed look. Along the way, all the withered grass and gravel on the ground in front of him were constantly shattering, which seemed to be a powerful magical power. He is like a pathfinder ahead of him.
It wasn't until Riddle's House that the family pattern had been removed, and the decaying door was crushed into pieces by magic. The magic in front of Dumbledore gradually subsided, with a wider range of effects, but A more gentle way stretched out and spread to the old house.
At the same time, the structure of the large kitchen on the first floor inside Riddle's House was also exposed in front of Link as a whole.
This is one of the worst rooms Link has ever seen. The level of mess is second only to the screaming shack before the reconstruction. And feces, and there is only a thick layer of dust on the floor, as well as a string of dense footprints and some traces similar to snakes crawling past.
The tables and chairs in the kitchen have all disappeared, only the kitchen counters against the wall are still piled up with a large number of plates, knives and forks, and there are even some dry and dark stains on them, like some food rotted and dried in the air. It’s the same there.
Besides, there is still a strong musty smell in the air and a smell that Link can't tell.
This forced Link, who has a slight cleanliness addiction, to cast himself a head-foaming charm.
And Dumbledore, as if he didn't care about the smell and environment in the room, went directly to the inside of the large kitchen.
smiled and shook his head at Link when passing by, as if mocking Link that he couldn't even stand this smell.
Link didn't care about Dumbledore. The two directly ignored the other rooms on the first floor. They stepped on the squeaky, disrepaired wooden stairs, and even went upstairs with a missing piece of the wooden staircase.
Standing on the stair platform, Link turned to the right and immediately discovered the most worthy room in this Riddle House expedition.
This is not difficult to find, after all, the doors of other rooms are tightly sealed by wooden slats, only the door of the room at the end of the corridor is open.
And on the dark, dusty floor in the corridor, there are a lot of footprints and snakes crawling all the way to the room.
By this time, Dumbledore seemed to be alert.
He pulled out his wand and carefully approached the room with Link.
Then Link saw it,
In this room, which should obviously be the master bedroom, there are so many traces of someone's life that no other place has ever had.
For example, the dust on the floor has already been swept away.
Many burnt ashes are piled up in the fireplace, and there is still a lot of wood that has been cut down but has not had time to burn.
Judging from the remaining paint and paint on the wood, the wood should come from the missing furniture on the first floor.
The most important thing is that there is an old-fashioned and primitive baby rocking chair in the center of the room with thick bedding and a dirty bottle with white juice inside.
"They must have lived here for a while." Dumbledore grabbed the baby bottle and shook it twice. "I smell his smell here, but it's very weak."
Link frowned upon hearing this.
He never understood what Dumbledore meant by ‘smelt’.
curiosity drove him to fully open his super-sensing curse, and then, a large stream of magical power shining with all kinds of weird colors filled his vision.
These magical power flows are far more active and powerful than the outside world, as if they have been amplified by some means.
The most important thing is that it also contains a black magic that can make two people feel uneasy.
A small part of them are scattered among the other magic currents in the room, but most of them are gathered in the fireplace full of ashes, like a black python, entrenched in it.
Along with Link's prying eyes, the disturbing pitch-black python seemed to perceive something. He raised his head and spit out a snake letter at Link, then opened his mouth wide.
Immediately afterwards, as if receiving a certain call, the black magic power scattered throughout the room began to tremble according to a certain rule.
Then the ordinary magical power flow began to assimilate under the lead of the black magical power.
try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){} When most of the magic flow in the entire room began to tremble together, a faint hum broke out in the air.
"Principal Dumbledore, I feel a little bit wrong."
Link said to Dumbledore with a slightly ugly expression.
He has never seen such a magical change that occupies such a large area, but this does not prevent him from perceiving the corresponding danger.
For now, every shabby hair on his body has stood up, howling there to make him stay away from the room.
But Dumbledore was still very calm. He pressed a big hand on Link's shoulder and said:
"Don't worry, I'll be fine with me."
After saying this, he stretched out his wand and tapped it in the void.
Link's eyes widened instantly.
Because he could clearly see in the vision of his magical perception that the point of Dumbledore's wand happened to be spotted on a black magical power in mid-air.
With this action, the tremor in the room, which was not too large, suddenly aggravated, and then broke through the critical value of qualitative change.
"Boom!~"
An inhuman roar came from the fireplace accompanied by the fire. Link snapped a button and saw that a large amount of dark red flames had rushed out of the fireplace, as if large catkins were lit and spread quickly in the room at the end of spring. Open.
Link's reaction was quick.
Before the flames carrying strong resentment and ominous aura hit him, he quickly controlled the power of the curse and formed a circular protective cover that enveloped him and Dumbledore.
But Dumbledore's movements were faster than him, and more thorough than him.
I saw a sudden wave of the magic wand in his hand.
A large group of umbrella-shaped light mist gushes out from the tip of the rod, directly suppressing the spread of the fire, and pressing all the flames back into the fireplace.
"The fierce fire curse is still trap-triggered."
Dumbledore still looked very relaxed. He even had time to explain the curse in front of Link. "I think you have seen the detailed arrangement method through the super-sensing curse. This is a very clever and creative curse. The usage of the incantation, maybe you can learn from it later.
This should be a parting gift Tom left us. He wants to use this fierce spell to destroy their traces of activity in this old house, and by the way, he might be able to get rid of intruders like you.
But what he didn't figure out was that this time it was me who did it myself! "
Dumbledore said his wand jerked forward!
In an instant, the white light flourished, the bright light curtain crushed all the flames, and finally the flame python curled up in the fireplace screamed and crushed into nothingness.
"OK! It's done!"
Dumbledore, who had done all this, turned and gave Link a big smile and said.
Seeing this, Link could only smile and nodded ~lightnovelpub.net~, while Arkham, who was spying on his neckline, escaped and escaped.
The scene of just now evoked some bad memories.
"Is this the curse power you currently have?" Dumbledore discovered the protective shield that Link had placed in front of them, and curiously tapped with a magic wand and said, "The technique used is also very good, the only It is regrettable that the intensity is not enough. Maybe you should find a way to increase it."
Hearing that Link's face was a little dark.
How can the intensity of magic power be so easy to increase, Dumbledore's wave is in pure Versailles.
Link also didn't want to discuss with him his ability that was obtained through system opening and hanging, so he directly removed the protective cover and said:
"Let's leave this house, the Horcrux is definitely not here."
"Oh?" Dumbledore seemed to have heard some interesting topic, "How did you know?"
Link knew that Dumbledore was testing himself on purpose.
He rolled his eyes and said:
"Don't say you didn't see it! Li Huo can destroy the Horcrux. If the Horcrux is really hidden in this old house, how could Voldemort set up a Lihuo trap here?"
"Bingo! The answer is correct!" Dumbledore looked very happy, and he snarled in a certain direction as he said, "The Horcrux was indeed not hidden in the old house, but behind it."
"Behind?"
Link repeated his words and looked in the direction of Dumbledore's mouth.
