Chapter 712 Heirloom Ring
Dumbledore indeed sped up.
The Elder Wand emitted bursts of strong magic fluctuations, which shook Gunter's old house as if it was about to collapse.
Fortunately, there are not many traps left, and the dilapidated old house is well preserved.
"Okay, you can come here."
Vincent walked safely to the open door, "Professor, could Tom have guessed your arrival and prepared a little surprise inside?"
Dumbledore put his hand on his shoulder, "That's why I brought you with me."
All of Voldemort's visible magical arrangements have been dispelled, and invisible traps cannot affect the natural master of Occlumency.
Now that safety is guaranteed, Harry must be taken with him.
He is one of the Horcruxes, so he might be able to sense something.
Vincent took out the alder wand with no traces that he bought at a high price from Knockturn Alley, "Fluorescent flash——"
Dumbledore looked at him deeply and said nothing. He just stayed outside with Harry and watched him cautiously enter the house.
It was still dark inside, but I could barely see half a meter around.
It had been neglected for decades, and the accumulated dust drifted everywhere.
Passing by the tables and chairs covered with cobwebs, the musty smell made him frown.
The environment is even worse than Nurmengard, probably due to the invisible influence of black magic.
"Crack——" The floor was trampled into crumbs.
It makes sense to just use a little force and slowly release it.
If the ancestral home collapsed, Voldemort would definitely know that there was something wrong with his Horcrux.
Walking gently inside, you can see a relatively well-preserved desk.
Vincent stepped forward and looked at it carefully.
There is no dust, so it is probably hidden here.
I pushed aside the books scattered on the table and found nothing special.
There were two drawers at the bottom. When I reached out and opened the top one, a dark shadow rushed over.
Vincent reacted very quickly and turned his head to hide. Then he cast a revealing spell on the shadow on the ground and found that it was a tattered rag doll.
"The flames are blazing——"
The ragdoll was instantly ignited, jumping around and quickly becoming silent.
"Faint to the ground - be imprisoned quickly - many obstacles - all curses will end -"
After a series of spells, the charred rag doll will probably break into pieces if touched.
Dumbledore and Harry heard the noise outside and hurriedly asked what was going on inside.
"I'm fine, you don't have to come in yet." Vincent moved the wand away from the ragdoll.
If you guessed it correctly, the reason why this thing was placed should be to make visitors relax their vigilance.
The stronger the magic power, the more confident the wizard. If they encounter such a small trouble, they may think that Voldemort is completely out of control, and finally resort to small means to carry out sneak attacks.
It's a pity that Vincent was not fooled, and Dumbledore who stayed outside could not be fooled either.
Take off the alchemical bracelet and turn it into a pistol.
Although it doesn't have the power of a gun blade, it can empty the magazine instantly.
Vincent holds a gun in his left hand and a wand in his right.
He returned to the desk without hastily opening another drawer.
He waved his wand to open a crack first, and a terrifying and aggressive aura rushed towards his face.
"Well -" Harry outside the door covered the scar on his forehead, as if something was spying on him.
It's Voldemort! It's his Horcrux!
Dumbledore shouted worriedly into the room, "Vincent, did you find something?"
"I think so." Vincent continued to wave his wand and slowly opened the drawer.
No matter how strong the aura of black magic is, it can't affect him, let alone the spiritual spy of a Horcrux.
Inside the drawer is a simple-style ring inlaid with black diamond-shaped stones.
"Professor, here comes the sword!"
Dumbledore took out the Sorting Hat from his robes and hesitated before putting his hand in it.
He drew the sword of Gryffindor, enchanted it and threw it gently into the room.
Vincent's raised left hand had just grasped the handle of the sword when the ring in the drawer suddenly shook violently.
The sword of Gryffindor that absorbed the Killing Curse made the soul inside feel scared, shaking slightly as if begging for mercy.
"Professor, the Horcrux is a ring!" Vincent put away his wand and held the sword tightly with both hands.
Dumbledore, who was outside the door, looked surprised and hurriedly stopped him, "Wait, don't destroy it yet!"
"Huh? Why?"
"Is there a black stone on the ring?"
The sword of Gryffindor fell heavily and froze in mid-air.
"Yeah, diamond-shaped."
Dumbledore's hand holding the Elder Wand trembled, "This ring is an heirloom of the Gaunt family, and the black stone on it is most likely the legendary Resurrection Stone."
"The Resurrection Stone? The Deathly Hallows? The Resurrection Stone of the second son of the Peverell family?"
"Yes."
The Elder Wand given to the eldest son by Death is in Dumbledore's hand, while the invisibility cloak given to the third eldest brother is in Harry's possession.
Have the legendary Deathly Hallows been collected like this?
It’s too dramatic!
Vincent lowered his sword, "Professor, why don't you come over and see if it's true?"
Dumbledore's eyes were no longer calm.
He suddenly closed his eyes and stopped his trembling hands, "Okay, I'll go in now."
Harry could tell that he was not as calm as before, "Professor, are you okay?"
"No problem, please wait for me here, Harry."
Dumbledore took a deep breath and walked into Gaunt's old house.
When he saw the ring in the drawer, he could clearly detect a certain desire on his face.
"Professor, stop!" Vincent stopped Dumbledore from moving forward unconsciously with his sword.
"Vincent, I..."
"Professor, there's something wrong with you!"
Dumbledore sobered up a lot.
He took a few steps back and sighed helplessly, "I just want to see Ariana again."
His sister is the eternal pain in his heart. Seeing the Resurrection Stone right in front of him, it is really difficult to refuse this temptation.
Vincent was still vigilant, "Professor, are you sure you are not affected by Horcruxes?"
"No, I'm pretty sure."
"What about this ring?"
Dumbledore nodded, "Yes, the gem on it is the Resurrection Stone."
He and Grindelwald had worked together on the quest for the Deathly Hallows, so it was almost 100% certain.
Now it becomes difficult.
Although the ring and the resurrection stone are not one, who knows which carrier Voldemort used when making the Horcrux.
Have they all been chopped off?
Just as the two were entangled, Harry heard a strange voice outside the door.
“Come in, there’s what you want inside—”
Harry looked around, and the strange voice sounded in his ears again.
"Don't you want to meet your parents? Come in and you will realize your wish-"
"Horcrux!" Harry clenched his fists and glared fiercely into the dark interior of the old house.
"You actually know - who you really are -"
Harry yelled: "Don't try to invade my brain again!"
In the room, the ring trembled violently, and soon lay quietly in the drawer.
Vincent and Dumbledore looked at each other.
As expected, this Horcrux can also perform Legilimency. Fortunately, Harry learned Occlumency from Snape.
