Chapter 458

"What are you talking about?" Harry clearly couldn't understand Solim's words.

Solim wasn't explaining to Harry, he was explaining to Dumbledore, as long as Dumbledore understood. Ignoring Harry, Solim continued:

"If we don't realize there's a stone basin there, and there's that liquid in it, then we can easily take things out of it. It's because we notice that liquid that we can't touch it. If...... If you could use the Imperius Charm, I think Harry and I could easily get the contents out. "

"Imperi Curse?" Harry understood this time, and Solim wanted Dumbledore to use the Imperius Curse to control himself or Solim, and use this method to get the contents of the stone basin.

"You know I'm not going to say yes. Dumbledore said, "I'll admit that what you're saying is a viable solution, but the Imperius Curse is too much for you. "

"That's better than you drinking it!" Solim looked at Dumbledore.

"Drink these things?" Harry looked at Dumbledore, and although he didn't know much, Harry also understood that the liquids in the stone basin were definitely not a good thing, especially since they were placed here by Voldemort.

"That's right, Harry, someone has to drink all the potions to get their hands on them. Dumbledore said calmly, "This is the necessary price. "

"Don't rush to drink just yet. Solim said, "There are many ways we haven't tried. "

Solim conjured another cup with his wand.

"Now that we have two cups, let's see what happens. "

"Good idea. But I still don't think this opportunistic approach will work. Dumbledore said.

"Don't be like that, headmaster. Solim held a cup in one hand, "I think there is more than one solution to everything, we can always find another way to solve the problem." "

"And the only thing that can restrain us is ability-" Solim looked at the two cups full of green potions in his hand, frowned and looked at the stone basin, the water level still unchanged.

Placing the two cups on the stone platform, Solim drew his wand and turned a few more cups out, but when the cups were full, the potions in the stone basin did not decrease in the slightest.

"Understood?" Dumbledore said, "I admit that Solim has a lot on your mind and is willing to try different methods, but at the moment there is only one way to get what's inside - and that's by drinking it. "

"Headmaster, I don't think you're in a hurry to sacrifice yourself. Solim looked at Cheeto, who had been standing still, "Since it is possible to summon house-elves here, then I think that if you really get to that point, you can summon a few more Hogwarts house-elves and let them share these potions, you don't need to hurt yourself at all." "

Harry was glad Hermione hadn't come along, otherwise Hermione would have had a big fight with Solim for what he had just said.

"Professor, Solim's method is very good, shall it be done?" Although Harry was kind, he didn't think that Solim was right to ignore the elves like this, but he still knew what was important. What will happen to these potions in the stone basin when you drink them, no one knows, if it is a deadly poison?

Would you sacrifice Dumbledore or the house-elves for an item?Harry thought that even if Hermione had come, he would have chosen to sacrifice the house-elves. The reason is so simple - Dumbledore is too important, without him, who can fight Voldemort, without Dumbledore's restraint, Voldemort and the Death Eaters will immediately start to make trouble unscrupulously.

"Please don't think I'm so pedantic. Dumbledore glanced at Cheetos who was bowing his head to the side, "If I can get my hands on the contents without hurting myself, I don't mind summoning some Hogwarts elves to help." "

"That's just great. Harry breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Dumbledore would choose to drink the green potions by himself in order to get the contents of the stone basin.

"Maybe don't bother with the house-elves. Solim conjured up a larger cup that looked more like a small bucket.

"If my next attempt succeeds—"

"Just a bigger mug. Harry said, "Do you want to fill all the potions in one go?"

"Not really. Solim grinned, "Those small cups just now can't reach the necklace at the bottom of the stone basin, but this large cup—"

So saying, Solim picked up the "keg" and scooped it towards the bottom of the stone basin......

"I don't think Tom would have thought that someone would get their hands on it this way......" Dumbledore's face now looked a little ...... Solim had never seen such a look on Dumbledore's face anyway.

The three of them put their faces on top of the large cup, looking at the necklace lying at the bottom of the cup, and everyone was speechless for a while. A potion that seemed incomparably complex and restrictive had been solved by Solim in an almost foolish way.

"Like I said: there are always multiple ways to solve a problem, as long as we can find it. Solim laughed like a chicken thief, and it was a great sense of accomplishment to be able to use this cheating method to get around the obstacles set up by Voldemort himself.

"The young people of today are really amazing. Dumbledore sighed that his magical knowledge and strength were so high that he didn't know where to go, but just like Solim's previous attempts, they were all considered in terms of magic, and Voldemort did not leave any loopholes in magic, but Solim used this kind of chicken thief method that great wizards like Dumbledore and Voldemort did not think of to take out the contents inside.

"So this necklace is a 'Horcrux'?" Harry asked, looking at Solim's delicate necklace, "what are we going to do next?"

Dumbledore frowned and took the necklace from Solim's hand, Dumbledore noticed that something was wrong when the necklace just touched the air, he had touched a lot of Horcruxes, but this necklace did not give Dumbledore any "Horcrux" feeling.

"This is not a Horcrux. Dumbledore's expression was serious, and then he opened the necklace and found a yellowed note inside:

To the Dark Lord:

"I know I'm dead when you read this, but I want you to know: I discovered this secret of yours, and I've taken the real Horcrux and destroyed it as soon as possible.

I'm willing to risk my life for you, a mortal of flesh and blood when you meet your opponent. "
