Chapter 1078: Four Items (College Entrance Exam)
Along the dirt road that Ogden once walked in memory, Ivan and Dumbledore walked towards the woods beside the valley.
Unlike the newly repaired main road, the dirt road is still winding, potholed, and full of rocks, and the bushes and hedges on both sides have become taller and denser.
They grow irregularly, filling everything around them, even covering the original path,
Nearly a hundred years have passed, but there is still not much change here, and time seems to have stood still in this place.
After passing those thick old trees, Ivan saw the old house of the Gunter family again.
Now, this old house should be called a ruin but it is more appropriate.
The moss-covered walls are still there, supporting the main body of the old house tenaciously, covered with plants, the tiles on the roof have all fallen off, the exposed rafters have begun to rot, and the doors and windows have disappeared, leaving A dark hole.
The sound of insects crawling through was heard from inside the house, and the dense nettles had already taken over the place.
Voldemort hid the ring here, and Ivan didn't know whether it was just an unobtrusive good idea, or a bold and crazy idea.
The dilapidated old house offered no protection against any intruders.
But again, no one would be interested in this place, this dilapidated hut was worthless.
From this point of view, the Gaunt family is definitely the saddest pure-blood wizard family ever.
However, it has a special meaning to him.
"Here it is!" said Dumbledore, took two steps forward, and stopped again, "Do you feel anything?"
"What?" Ivan asked in surprise, looking at the dilapidated house in front of him.
"Magic, this place has seen magic." Dumbledore said softly, as if something like a spell was spreading in the air, "Ivan, I told you before, feel it with your heart, don't trust your eyes, that is Unreliable."
He was spinning slowly in place, apparently concentrating on something invisible to the eye.
This is much harder than usual to feel the magic power. Ivan closed his eyes, and the magic power around him seemed to be distorted in the house in front of him.
To use a metaphor, it is like light, which was originally shot in a certain direction, but suddenly deviated.
"In the right corner!" Ivan said slowly, looking for the area where the magic power changes.
"Yes, you feel it too, it's there, let's go in and have a look!" said Dumbledore, striding forward.
"Professor, what kind of magic is this? Is it the same as the one in the cave by the sea?"
Aiwen still has a fresh memory of that magic, and only by using blood can it be broken and it can be entered.
"I don't think so, but it should be just as evil!" said Dumbledore. "There is always a price to pay for that thing. Advanced dark arts are always like this, which is also in line with Voldemort's expectations, but I think It shouldn't be too difficult this time. He was only fifteen years old when he got the ring, about the same age as you. He didn't master as many forbidden magics as he did later on. Perhaps, his soul wasn't that depraved. After all, this is his The first Horcrux, he had never killed anyone before this."
Ivan followed him forward, did Dumbledore mean that Riddle wasn't that evil at the time?
"Hogwarts doesn't have so many evil black arts for him to learn about, although I can be sure that he has read every magic book he can find in the restricted section of the library!" Dumbledore said, leading Leading Ivan into the dark cabin, "But those magic books have been screened, and some really dangerous things have been isolated."
Just entering, the deeper darkness swallowed them all at once, and the air became thinner.
With the light at the end of the wand, Ivan saw only dust, and it was dark everywhere, and he couldn't see his true colors.
The ceiling was covered with thick cobwebs, the walls inside the house had collapsed, and weeds grew between the rocks.
One end of a rafter fell down and stuck to the ground at an angle, and the other end was struggling to support the weight of the whole house.
Ivan followed Dumbledore into it carefully, not daring to touch anything.
Everything here gave him a feeling, as if with just a slight touch, the house would completely collapse, and they would be buried here alive.
"He got the ring when he was fifteen and carried it with him for a short time, and he soon found it too ostentatious, the Peverell family crest, although he would have liked to tell others about his A long and noble lineage, but he doesn't want to attract too much attention, especially my attention." Dumbledore's voice sounded in front of Ivan, and they had entered the room on the right, "Because he can't explain to me, he is How did he get this priceless ring? You know, he had almost nothing before he came to Hogwarts. What's more, that ring was a Horcrux, the first Horcrux he made, and he carried it with him Very ill-advised. I think he came back here shortly after Morfin was caught, probably during the Christmas holidays that year, and he hid the ring, which must have been the case, so he didn't have enough More time to check it."
"Professor, what power is on that ring?" Aiwen asked, he had been trying to figure out the problem, "Why do you say it can solve the troubles of vampires, that is, those evil gods..."
"There are many possibilities. I am more inclined that Salazar Slytherin left some kind of magic on it, a magic that we don't understand now, but it can undoubtedly help us. It is a vital item." Dumbledore said, "You still remember the wall you saw in the depths of the acromantula's lair, and there were four Slytherin objects engraved on it."
"Have you been there too?"
"No, that place has been destroyed, and I can't go in. But not long ago, I saw the same wall in the vampire's territory, and the four magic items were also carved on it." Dumbledore said, "This is my The reason why I believe that the ring will help us is that only by collecting all four items can we completely unlock the secrets left by Slytherin."
Ivan originally planned to ask where the Scepter of Two Serpents was, but Dumbledore probably didn't know either.
If he knew, he would definitely tell himself or take it away directly, just like he came here to find the ring now.
This kind of question should be asked Kelexis, that guy must know something.
The two struggled forward among the ruins of the hut, and Dumbledore waved his wand to remove the debris and rubble on the ground.
They came to the right corner of the house, and in front of them was a large black wardrobe, which was probably the only remaining furniture of the Gaunt family. Browse and read the address:
