Chapter 457: The Right-Handed Men Take Action

"Very good." Yang Tian showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then took out a few yellow talismans from his arms and handed them to Nagini: "What you are facing are Voldemort's Horcruxes. Not only may the place where they are stored be dangerous, but even their packaging may have traps. Moreover, Horcruxes have a great influence on the souls of wizards. If you don't handle them well, you may get lost in some illusions and lose yourself... So, when you come into contact with a Horcrux, you must first seal it with this soul-locking talisman to prevent it from eroding your soul. Even after the seal is completed, you cannot touch the Horcrux directly... Of course, you must be more careful about possible curses and other traps... Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."

That’s right, these yellow talismans are new talismans that Yang Tian has just carved. Different from the yellow exorcism talismans and the blue soul-binding talismans, the function of this soul-locking talisman is to seal the soul on a small object or space, making it impossible for it to escape.

Originally, Yang Tian was thinking about whether to give the Soul Binding Talisman directly to his subordinates, but thinking that these Horcruxes might have some kind of back-up plan, Yang Tian chose the more secure Soul Locking Talisman. Using this talisman, the person carrying out the task can successfully complete the task without even opening the outer packaging.

After a pause, Yang Tian added again: "In addition, after getting something, you must bring it back as soon as possible, and don't waste too much time on the road... Also, during the operation, you need to report your safety through the communication ring every three minutes, and be sure to keep in touch with us... Finally, all members participating in this mission must go to the Yang family residence in Hogsmeade Village within a week after the mission is completed. I will personally check your physical condition to ensure that you have not suffered any adverse effects. This is extremely important, you must keep it in mind..."

Yang Tian explained the various precautions in detail and comprehensively, as if he was afraid that his right-hand men would encounter unexpected events during the mission. And Nagini listened attentively to every word Yang Tian said, nodding from time to time...

One night a week later, the moonlight was hazy. There was a dilapidated cottage in Great Hangleton, about four or five miles away from Little Hangleton. The cottage looked shaky and seemed to collapse at any time. Its walls were covered with moss, and many tiles on the roof had fallen off, revealing the mottled wooden structure. The surrounding environment also looked very desolate, overgrown with weeds, a desolate scene... Obviously, no one had lived here for a long time.

But on such an ordinary night, more than 30 black-robed wizards suddenly appeared in front of the empty door of the dilapidated cottage. They stood quietly like ghosts. These wizards wore their hoods very deep, making it impossible to see their faces clearly.

"Alas, this place is really desolate. If it weren't for the master, I would never come to this place in my life, right?" A slightly suppressed female voice suddenly appeared, breaking the tranquility of the night, but revealing a hint of emotion: "Okay, I have arranged the previous tasks clearly, everyone start to prepare. My requirements for this operation are very simple, be careful and don't make any mistakes."

Upon hearing this, everyone drew their wands and formed an assault formation. They even held some alchemical props in their hands just in case.

Seeing that everything was ready, the female leader finally spoke again: "Now, action!"

Before he finished speaking, all the black-robed wizards shouted in unison: "For the honor of the family!"

After saying that, the first two kicked open the door of the stone house; then the other two cast a spell of illumination; then, one after another, the dark wizards kept flashing past and rushed into the stone house...

To be honest, these black-robed wizards moved in an orderly manner, and it was obvious that they had undergone long-term training. But the result of this action was rather embarrassing... The entire stone house was empty, and it was like using a cannon but not even being able to hit a mosquito. However, this was normal, and it was better to be careful.

After making sure that there was no one in the house, these people became cautious again. They had clear division of labor and conducted a detailed search of the entire house.

As time passed, no magical mechanism appeared, no traps or human attacks occurred, and there was not even any unnecessary noise. The only sound was the rustling search of the group of black-robed men.

I don't know how long it took, at least, when the sky was already turning pale, a man in a black robe suddenly shouted in surprise: "Miss, there seems to be something wrong with this fireplace." As he spoke, he carefully searched with his hands wearing dragon leather gloves. After hearing this, the other wizards also gathered around and carefully checked.

Suddenly, a crisp "click" sounded in the room. A stone brick on the right side of the fireplace suddenly sank deep, and then a hidden compartment slowly emerged from the inside of the wall. On the compartment was a luxurious crystal jewelry box. Through the transparent shell, the items stored inside could be clearly seen - a black gem ring inlaid with the Peverell emblem!

"Great, that's it!" the female leader shouted excitedly, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She couldn't wait to take a step forward and collect this precious quest item. But at this moment, an accident happened...

All the people present suddenly felt their heads go blank, and the next moment, they heard waves of tempting voices, which seemed to have magic power and kept drilling into their minds. Almost instantly, the eyes of the more than 30 wizards began to become dull, and their bodies moved involuntarily, walking towards the jewelry box woodenly.

However, there was one exception, and that was the female leader. When the alluring voice entered her mind, her expression also changed, but what she didn't expect was that the soul seed planted by the master was surprisingly powerful at this time. As soon as this external energy approached her soul, it was burned by the scorching temperature of the soul seed. They turned into black smoke again and again and finally dissipated.

That’s right, this female leader was none other than Fiameta Smith, the one whose seeds were planted, and the thirty-odd people under her were none other than the combat elites of the Smith family.

"That was a close call..." The female leader wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, secretly rejoicing in her heart. But she didn't have time to think about it, and directly took out a soul-fixing talisman and pressed it towards the crystal jewelry box. At the same time, she also carefully crushed a protective alchemical item. The small protective light shield was enough for her to be on the safe side...
