Chapter 464: Gringotts Heist (7)

What Link wants to do is to kill Voldemort's soul within it without destroying the Gold Cup at all.

Even though Link has reached the world's top level in controlling the power of the curse, it is still an extremely difficult thing for him.

After all, when making the Horcrux, Voldemort's soul has been fused with the Horcrux itself.

As for the power of the curse, no matter how it is manipulated, it is inherently destructive.

Just like with the Slytherin locket earlier.

At that time, although Link perfectly retained the magical power of the Slytherin locket.

But the power of the curse still caused some damage to the internal structure of the pendant box.

Not to mention breaking the locket.

But at least it has reduced its service life by a large margin.

Originally, this was an innocuous matter.

But the Hufflepuff Cup is different.

Link has been a Hufflepuff for 5 years in his life, and he already has feelings for Hufflepuff College.

Similarly, he also has a different emotion for the Hufflepuff Gold Cup.

Even without mentioning the miraculous effect of the golden cup.

He also still wants to bring this Helga Hufflepuff relic back to Hogwarts and enshrine it in Hufflepuff House.

This has a different meaning to him as a Hufflepuff.

At the same time, this is also the obligation and mission of every Hufflepuff!

So even though it was difficult, he had to try after all!

The bright blue light kept flickering in Link's eyes, and with the help of the super sense spell, the powerful spiritual power was scanning the golden cup in an all-round way.

After confirming that he had recorded all the structures of the golden cup, Link slowly closed his eyes, and the originally divergent mental power slowly condensed, and began to mobilize the power of the curse with 100% energy.

Hum——

The surface of the Hufflepuff gold cup began to emit traces of black mist,

Moreover, a ferocious roaring skull was outlined on the surface of the golden cup without dispersing.

This is the spontaneous reaction of Voldemort's soul in the golden cup after sensing danger.

It's a pity that this is not without the slightest defensive effect.

Under the control of Link's mental power, the invisible filaments transformed into cursed power wrapped in a circle of non-attribute magic power still invaded the golden cup, and continued to deepen along the structure of the golden cup itself, slowly forming a web, and began to divide Voldemort. The soul rushes away.

Although Voldemort did not set any defensive spells for the gold cup.

But in the face of the danger of death, Voldemort's soul in the golden cup will naturally not sit still.

He kept fleeing in the golden cup like a fish, trying to escape the magic net.

Even, after observing Link's cautious movements, he also noticed Link's intention not to destroy the Jinbei, and began to plan to die with the Jinbei.

This made Link have to marvel at the whimsy of the person who invented the Horcrux.

You must know that even after the powerful soul leaves the living body, even if it is preserved with the most brilliant magic, it will gradually lose its memory and wisdom in the end.

The ghosts of Hogwarts are the best example.

Many of them have forgotten all the less important memories of the past.

Bloody Barrow had even begun to lose control.

Death is the greatest justice in the world.

This is the law of nature.

But right now, this piece of soul that has been sealed in the Horcrux for more than 20 years still maintains extremely high autonomy and wisdom.

This means that the Horcrux is not just a container that can preserve the soul.

In a sense, the nature of the Horcrux is infinitely close to that of a living body.

This is more terrifying.

Don't forget that Horcrux rituals can transform any object into a Horcrux.

If some controllable parts are added to the horcrux, then enough energy can be given to the souls in the horcrux.

Then, can the divided soul be able to control the Horcrux autonomously, forming some kind of fantasy existence like the armored brother Alphonse in "Forged Steel"?

Or, more simply.

Directly select a corpse as the Horcrux medium.

So what is a corpse reinfused with a new soul?

Zombie?

Or directly revive?

Link turned pale.

He began to hesitate to continue thinking about it.

Even in the eyes of the most villainous dark wizards, these wild ideas are the taboo of taboos.

Link had a premonition somewhere.

If he really realizes these ideas one by one in reality, there may be extremely terrifying things happening.

At that time, he really may not have the ability to control the development of things.

However, Link is really curious about it...

After taking several deep breaths in a row, Link temporarily suppressed those taboo thoughts in his heart, and refocused all his attention on the golden cup.

The speed at which Voldemort's split soul escaped had already been slowed down due to lack of energy.

At this moment, Link's attention returned, and his control over the power of the curse became more precise, and he was bound in the magic net almost instantly.

Then, the magic net began to tighten.

At the same time, Link also eliminated the non-attribute magic power wrapped in the outermost layer of the 'thin thread' as protection.

The power of the curse finally revealed its terrifying destructive power!

The Voldemort soul that had been bound into a ball was cut into countless free energies almost instantly, and was finally brought out of the golden cup with the withdrawal of the magic net.

The shadow of the black mist that originally floated on the surface of the golden cup also began to dissipate quickly.

And at the last moment when it completely disappeared, a faint cry of grief also reached Link's ears.

[Gold skill point*1 has been obtained! 】

[Mission - Hufflepuff's Glory! obtained! 】

[Task conditions: Return the undamaged Hufflepuff Gold Cup to Hogwarts, and enshrine it in the Hufflepuff common room, under the portrait of Helga Hufflepuff. 】

[Mission Reward: Title - "Integrity, Loyalty, Honesty, Fear of Hardship"]

["Integrity, Loyalty, Honesty, No Fear of Hardship" effect: The quality of herbs increases by 20%, the quality of cooking increases by 20%, and the quality of potions increases by 20%. 】

Staring at the series of bullet screens floating on the data panel in front of him, Link's eyes became a little straight.

To be honest, the reward this time was somewhat beyond Link's expectations.

Not to mention the reward of that gold skill point, it is actually a guaranteed reward for destroying the Horcrux.

The most critical thing is that task.

The difficulty of completing it is so low that it is simply giving away for nothing.

And the effect of the mission reward title "Integrity, Loyalty, Honesty, Fear of Hardship" is really strong!

No one can understand better than a pharmacist like Link how buggy the effect of 'increasing the quality of potions by 20%' is.

This is tantamount to adding 20% ​​more yield and good product rate to you for no reason!

At the same time, if Link's own pharmaceutical skills are very good, then it will be even more terrifying.

With this 20% bonus, Link can even break through the shackles brought by the material quality!

For example, it is able to use American ginseng as a serious ginseng effect!

It's not as simple as saving some money.

You must know that the extraordinary resources of this world have actually been over-exploited long ago, so that they are almost exhausted.

The current BUG-level transcendent items like the Deathly Hallows are actually not made by the god of death at all, but are made of countless precious secret treasure-level materials collected by the Peverell family in ancient times.

These materials are long extinct by now.

That's why many similar items and potions will become extinct.

Now that Link has this 20% bonus, it means that he has the capital to touch those ancient products.

Of course, Link still has no way to reproduce the Deathly Hallows, which is made of extremely precious materials in ancient times.

But making some Slytherin Grimoire potions is no problem.

After all, Link had previously collected many alternative materials and conducted similar experiments.

It just didn't work out because the material effect was so poor.

And the biggest question Link is facing right now is why the system is so generous this time to issue such a task that is almost equivalent to giving benefits?

Link had never encountered a similar situation when he destroyed the souls in the Slytherin pendant box before!

Could it be said that the system's issuance of tasks depends on his mood and obsession at the time?

The more Link thought about it, the more he felt that this guess made sense.

Didn't the title task of "Dragon Slaying Warrior" at that time also appear because of his strong empathy for what happened to the fire dragon?

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Link smacked his mouth, feeling a little agitated.

If his guess is true, then he may get more and better title rewards in the future.

For example, he collected all the Three Deathly Hallows...

Link was so excited that he didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

And at this moment, Emily frowned and said solemnly:

"Link, it's almost time."

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, Link nodded and said:

"Then let's go quickly. It is estimated that the other team will soon break the anti-apparition spell."

As Link spoke, he glanced at the Lestrange family vault again.

But seeing this made him a little stunned.

I saw hunters queuing up to transport the gold and jewels in the vault out one by one.

The gold mountain in the treasury, which was almost touching the ceiling, has now been reduced by almost half in height.

"It's the potion of Anti Thief Waterfall."

Seeing Link's expression, Old Barty immediately came up and explained, "This group of people is already from the anti-apparition destruction team. But don't worry, I didn't delay the progress of the destruction. Going to work. The rain and dew always have to be equal."

Hearing that Link nodded, he suddenly realized.

The anti-thief waterfall's potion does have a certain magic-breaking effect on the enchantment of items.

He originally thought that with the level of magic spells of the hunters, it would be the limit to be able to grab a lot of real gold coins from the vault in such a short time, but he didn't expect them to come up with such an idea.

This made Link a little dumbfounded.

It is worth mentioning that both Newland and Sceffen stood beside him with serious faces, like bodyguards, and did not go to the vault with other hunters to pick up money.

Only then did Link hear that his order just now was only for the hunters, and Newland and Sceffen were not among them.

And I told them before coming here.

For this operation, they only need to watch more, and they don't need any other unnecessary actions.

However, the most interesting point is that Newland and Sceffen have completely different ideas.

This point can't be hidden from Link, who is full of energy and chanting a few spells.

Among them, Sceffen really didn't care about the mountains of gold and silver in the vault, and he didn't even bother to bend down to pick them up.

As for Newland, he was holding back.

His desire for those gold coins and jewelry is almost written on his face, as long as he is a person with more social experience, he can see it even without Legilimency.

"Hahaha!" Link couldn't help laughing, "What are you two doing standing there stupidly? Why don't you go in and move some more quickly? Don't you want the free money?"

As soon as Link finished speaking, Newland rushed out like a cannonball.

Sceffen looked a little reluctant, and looked at Link with some resentment before leaving.

This made Link and old Kled laugh out loud.

They had never seen such an interesting pairing.

"Now is not the time to talk about that!"

Emily's snarl startled the laughing Link and old Kled, "Look at your gold coins, just now our release staff in the Gringotts lobby sent us several consecutive messages It is said that Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror office, has entered the underground vault with two full teams of Aurors! And... and the Death Eaters seem to be attacking Gringotts as well!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Link and Old Kret changed.

Aurors and Death Eaters will definitely intervene in this incident, which Link and old Kled have already expected.

But according to their analysis, the two parties will definitely fight outside first, and finally enter the underground vault after the winner is determined.

Unexpectedly, Scrimgeour killed him directly.

Is he... leaving the people outside and his subordinates alone?

Link couldn't understand Scrimgeour's actions, but things had already happened, so the plan had to be changed accordingly.

"Everyone, gather for me!"

Link's voice amplified by the loud voice spell echoed in the huge cave.

The well-trained elite hunters stopped their carrying work one after another, and quickly assembled behind Old Klein in a square formation.

As hunters, they are greedy for money, but as elites, orders and prohibitions have been engraved in their minds.

This is the result of several years of daily training by old Klein and old Beckman.

It is also the family background of the Foley family and the Beckman family.

Families like the Malfoy family that have wealth but no power are simply not in the mainstream, and wealth and private troops are grasped at both ends, and gradually developing themselves into substantial princes and nobles is the normal mode of occurrence of wizard families.

The best and most famous at this point is Peverell, and then down, that's Blake.

It's a pity that these two once glorious families are now in decline.

It's really...children and grandchildren are not filial.

Compared with them, Newland's actions are much more ink-stained.

After all, it was too late for him to strike, he just stretched out his hand and grabbed two handfuls in such a short time.

Looking at the still huge Jinshan in front of him, he gritted his teeth and retreated to Link.

Since he didn't have a traceless stretch bag, he could only hold all his treasures in his arms, which made him look very embarrassed.

"cut!"

A contemptuous voice sounded from the side.

Newland stared at him, and sure enough, he saw Sceffen looking at him with infinite contempt.

But what he didn't expect was that the next moment Sceffen threw a cloth bag embroidered with a shield pattern.
