Chapter 1003 Slytherin’s Locket
…
“Maybe…”
In fact, Vanlin had been to the Black family’s treasure house.
Every ancient family always has one or two secret rooms. If Regulus and Kreacher’s rooms don’t have them, then the Black family’s treasure room is the only one that exists.
…
“It should be this one…” Vanlin looked at the books on the bookshelf uncertainly.
It was a very old book with a little damage on the spine, which was no different from the books written by other people next to it.
“What is this text?”
“I don’t know, maybe some runes, but they are not very common. Many ancient books were like this. However, this is just a cover.” Vanlin said, reaching out to take the book off the bookshelf.
“But nothing happened… Did you remember it wrong?” Hermione asked doubtfully. According to the script, there should be a vibration around, and then the bookshelf flipped over, revealing a hole.
“Oh, we are still missing some steps.” Vanlin took out the wand, opened the book, and the contents of the book appeared in front of him.
Rather than saying it is a book, it is better to say it is a biography.
From the beginning, it records how the Black family developed from an ordinary part of the wizarding world to a powerful magic family that is now famous in the wizarding world.
Fan Lin has also read this book. The record ended about 600 years ago. Later, the Black family adopted a new genealogy, which is the wall that looks a bit bad.
Fan Lin gently tapped the center of the book with his wand a few times, and a ray of light passed through the connection between the two pages. Then, it was everyone's favorite part.
Just like all the secret rooms, the bookshelf and the wall behind it suddenly turned over, and a stone wall appeared in front of the two. Then, the door gradually emerged from the wall.
The last time I came here, I had just rescued Sirius, and Fan Lin was standing outside. At that time, Fan Lin was still sighing at the magic of magic, but now it seems that this is more a manifestation of the Black family's financial strength.
Opening up a space alone is not something that ordinary wizards can do. From the feeling around, this space has been permanently solidified and integrated with the surrounding environment. Even if there is any external force to destroy it, it will not affect the stability of the space at all.
"We broke into Sirius's house like this..."
"Oh, it's okay, he won't mind," Fanlin said indifferently, "In fact, there doesn't seem to be anything left here."
Most of the things were put in the treasure house of Gringotts, and a large part of them were confiscated, which made the secret treasure house of the Black family look not so impressive.
The huge Black family emblem was hung on the wall facing the door. It can be imagined that there should have been a lot of jewelry and wealth around here, but now, there is nothing here except some statues that are meaningless to wizards.
The shelves originally used for display seemed empty. After Mrs. Black died, the wealth of the Black family was divided up early.
Obviously, this place has been abandoned.
Fanlin reached out and lit the torch on the wall.
"Are you sure this is the treasure house of the Black family?" Hermione said uncertainly, which did not match the identity of the Black family.
"Well, at least it was once." Fanlin said. Maybe the Malfoy family would not let him down, but here...
"Where is the thing you are looking for?" Hermione asked.
"I think I saw him." Fanlin said, and ran inside quickly. On the bust under the emblem of the Black family, the thing he had been looking for was hanging there safely.
Yes, where can a house elf hide things?
Fanlin looked at the locket eagerly. The passage of time caused the former glory to be covered in dust, but this could not conceal his brilliance at the moment.
"You are talking about this..."
"This locket, yes, Hermione, it is this thing." Fanlin said, reaching out to take it down, but in an instant, Fanlin heard a gust of wind.
Reflexively, Fanlin turned his head, and a silver fork was immediately inserted into the tapestry of the Black family medal.
It was really a trick of the house elf. There was no doubt that this was Kreacher's protection of Slytherin's locket. Some tricks, perhaps in the eyes of the elf, this was the most deadly means.
Waving his wand and breaking the magic around him, Fanlin got the locket off the bust as he wished.
This almost made Fanlin unbelievable. The whole process was extremely smooth. Except for the wrong direction he was looking for before, which wasted some time, Fanlin almost did not receive any obstruction.
Of course, if Kreacher's poor fork was also considered an obstruction, just pretend I didn't say that.
Fanlin squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the locket in his hand. Things related to Slytherin are always legendary.
The most eye-catching thing is the silver snake in the center of the locket. Its twisted body formed a big "S" logo, hidden under the emerald. This is the unique logo of the Slytherin family, silver snake + "S" + emerald!
Anyone who knows a little bit about the history of magic or the coat of arms of a pure-blood wizard family will know the true meaning of this letter. Salazar Slytherin himself is too famous. In addition to co-founding Hogwarts with the other three founders, he has also done many earth-shattering things.
Um……
Unknown records?
Well, that’s what everyone says.
Circles of silver patterns spread out from the center of the emerald, with golden threads interspersed in the middle, an obvious Slytherin style, and the words engraved on the locket reveal an aura of magic.
Maybe this is just an illusion, because Fanlin doesn't even know about it. Regarding language and symbols, there will always be different interpretations at different times. Naturally, there is no 100% certainty that he can understand everything.
However, the breath of the Horcrux was not revealed at all. These small lockets wrapped everything up perfectly. However, from the moment it appeared here, it also meant that Voldemort had another A soul fell into Fan Lin's hands.
"Is this what you said?" Hermione looked at the locket in Fan Lin's hand uncertainly, "This is, Si..."
"Slytherin's locket is correct. Hermione, you read that right." Fan Lin said, "This is exactly as expected. Voldemort can't just make something into his own Horcrux." . The diary is one. It is everything that the sixteen-year-old Voldemort had at Hogwarts, including his knowledge and research. It is an indispensable part of Voldemort. Naturally, the diary named Tom Riddle. Even if it is a Horcrux, and it should be the first Horcrux made by Voldemort, and after that, Hermione, I also found Ravenclaw's diadem in the Room of Requirement, which is also Voldemort's Horcrux, so …”
"So you are saying that Voldemort will look for something commemorative as a Horcrux?"
"That's right." Fan Lin nodded, "And the relics of the four founders of Hogwarts obviously meet Voldemort's standards, because they are powerful magic items themselves, so they are difficult to destroy, and once discovered, they will definitely be destroyed. The object of all Hogwarts people's protection, Voldemort was there to protect a part of his life." (To be continued)
