Chapter 330 Looking For
"Don't be so nervous." Professor Dumbledore used his wand to conjure a cup of black tea and a chair, and then signaled to Ryan: "Sit down and have a cup of tea, just now Professor Moody praised you as no less than many Aurors, so I just remembered to call you over to help us with some things."
Ryan didn't speak at this time, just listened quietly holding the teacup. Soon Dumbledore asked the question he wanted to ask: "Do you know Horcrux?"
"I know part of it." Ryan looked at Dumbledore and said, "There is this aspect in alchemy. In alchemy, Horcrux is classified into the alchemy part of the human body."
"Oh? Now that you know Horcrux, would you like to tell me what you think about Horcrux?" Dumbledore looked interested, sitting there and bending forward slightly to look at Ryan.
"Well, how do you say it--" Ryan thought for a moment and said, "I feel a little lost because of the small. This is the easiest way to live long I know, but the flaws are too big. If it was me, I would rather get the Fragment of the Lady of the Roses."
"So you don't think making a Horcrux is a good idea?" Dumbledore ignored the part he didn't understand, and instead asked about the Horcrux.
"Yes, unless the person is desperate or really has no other way at hand. Any other way is better than this one." Ryan pretended to know nothing about something, but Dumbledore quickly talked about this.
"Then what if I told you that Voldemort tried to live in this way?" Under the half-moon glasses, Dumbledore's blue eyes shone like a prank.
"Isn't he pure blood? As far as I know, he has always claimed to be a descendant of Slytherin and advocated the interests of pure blood. It is impossible not to know the problem." Ryan made a surprised expression.
"Unfortunately, he doesn't know the possible problems for various reasons. Well, let's not talk about this for now. I am looking for you today because I have probably determined the location of one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, and I need you to work with us together. I'll fix it."
Does this count as a nomination payment? But Lane wasn't disgusted by it. In addition, knowing that Voldemort has Horcruxes, it is reasonable to destroy some Horcruxes while Voldemort is in poor condition.
As for why Lao Deng called Ryan, it is understandable that Ryan's level is almost the same as that of an adult wizard in the eyes of Lao Deng. It is understandable to call a professional alchemist in order to crack Voldemort's magical mechanism. You must know that Dumbledore is a complete pragmatist, and he will choose the best solution among various solutions.
And it was also important for Dumbledore to nurture new people, after all, he was over 100 years old. Given that Harry Potter is temporarily inadequate, it is completely understandable for Dumbledore to find a student of sufficient level and a good relationship with Harry for safety reasons.
As for why he faced Voldemort's Horcruxes alone in the original text, it can only be said that he was a little overconfident at the time. And after the first World War at the Ministry of Magic, his battle with Voldemort made him feel a lot of pressure, and it is understandable that things are a little confusing in this situation.
Now the diary in the Horcrux has been destroyed, as has the crown. All that's left is the locket in Sirius' house, Hufflepuff's gold cup probably in the Gringotts vault, the ring in Gaunt's house, Nagini, and the accidental Harry Potter. special.
Judging from the available information, the destruction of a Horcrux that Dumbledore said today will definitely not be Harry Potter, nor is the possibility of Nagini, because Harry wants to put it last and Najib you This freshly baked Horcrux Lao Deng may not know now. The rest is estimated to be one of the three gold cup rings and locket, and now I don't know which one Dumbledore knows.
"If everyone is ready, I think we can prepare for today's trip." Dumbledore said with a smile, then beckoned the phoenix Fox on the shelf to fly down and let everyone gently grab Fox's tail,
After everything was ready, Apparition was turned on.
It can only be said that the experience of this way of moving is really bad. After going through the process of stuffing people into pipes and punching them out, they stood on a country road, with tall hedges with tangled branches and leaves on both sides, overhead. It is the late spring sky, as clear and blue as forget-me-nots.
"Where is this place, Dumbledore?" Professor Moody asked directly. As Dumbledore's old friend, he would naturally open his mouth and ask when he was unclear.
"I came here once a long time ago, and I almost forgot about this place. Fortunately, I didn't fall directly into the river." When Dumbledore said this, the Phoenix Fox called out in dissatisfaction, as if Protest against the demeaning of the professor.
"Well, Fox, you never lead the wrong way." Speaking of which, Professor Dumbledore touched Fox and said to Moody. "This is the home of Lord Voldemort's mother, and I think he hid a Horcrux here."
After hearing this, Ryan looked around, and found that there were only hedges, and he couldn't see the surroundings at all. But after walking a few steps with Professor Dumbledore they turned to the left along the road, and suddenly they saw a clear view of a valley in front of them. In the valley there is a small village nestled between two steep slopes, with a church and a cemetery clearly visible.
On the hillside opposite the valley, there is a large dilapidated house. Several windows of the house were sealed, the tiles on the roof were incomplete, and the crawlers were crawling all over the house. It looked damp and desolate, as if uninhabited all year round.
This is the village of Little Hangleton, and the big mansion opposite should be Riddle House. Young Voldemort did the same thing as Arthas there. After taking two glances at the famous ruins, Ryan followed in Dumbledore's footsteps.
They didn't enter the village after walking a steep downhill. Dumbledore used magic to move a hedge to a space high by one person, and then motioned for everyone to pass through.
Compared with the road just now, the current road is even worse, and it is not even a road. Led by Dumbledore, they wade across the knee-high grass. The ground under the grass was uneven, bumpy and full of rocks. Ryan took the initiative to step forward to support Moody, who was inconvenient, but Moody did not reject the offer.
Finally they came to a grove, and Dumbledore stopped and drew his wand. "I think everyone should be vigilant on the road below and be prepared to fight at any time."
Ryan pulled out his wand, and with the other hand pulled the Gryffindor's dagger from the pocket at his waist.
"It's a good thing to be prepared for hand-to-hand combat in a tight place like this," Moody said. "I also had a good dagger when I was younger, and was good at using less wizard-like weapons in tight quarters, and it worked fine. Until I got a curse in my knee—"
In Moody's voice, several people stepped into the forest. Fortunately, there is nothing messy in the forest, just a shabby house.
This house is far more dilapidated than expected, and even Ryan didn't see it as a house at first glance. The roof of the house had completely collapsed, and only a few holes remained in the windows. All sorts of plants growing all around blocked even the whole house. In addition, there are thick moss growing on the stone walls, if you look closely, you would think it is a small soil slope.
"Okay, I think we're there," said Professor Dumbledore, walking over to the wreckage of the house.
