The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World
Chapter 335 Destruction
Chapter 335 Destruction
"It seems that we are going a little too smoothly today?" Ryan asked when Moody was preparing. "The magic set up in Gaunt's cabin is not as much as imagined, and it is not very powerful. Most of them are about hiding and reinforcement magic, and there are no poisonous spells. I feel that this is not normal and does not fit the mentality of that person. I am a little worried that there is something dangerous hidden in this box."
"There's no need to worry, Ryan." Dumbledore comforted him, "Voldemort hid his relationship with the Gaunt family. With his pride, he wouldn't think that others could find out this relationship. In this case, he shouldn't set up too much magic to attract extra attention. But for me, a professor who watched him enter Hogwarts, his secret was not kept as well as he thought."
While Ryan was talking to Professor Dumbledore, Moody also prepared enough defense for himself. Under the surveillance of six eyes, Moody carefully opened the box. But unlike what Dumbledore imagined, nothing happened.
"I'm old, and I'm still a little overly nervous. This..." Seeing that nothing happened, Moody breathed a sigh of relief. He even smiled at Professor Dumbledore. But when he lowered his head and made contact with the contents of the opened box, something strange happened.
"There are many obstacles." Ryan made a quick decision and cast a spell at Moody in the box without any warning. However, he was still a little late. When he finished the spell in his mind, Dumbledore had already cast the same spell and knocked Moody out.
"Very good silent spell, Ryan." He praised while applying layer after layer of protective spells to the box. "And very smart. How did you know that something was wrong with Professor Moody?"
"I think Professor Moody is an experienced Auror. How could he touch such a dangerous thing with his bare hands?" Ryan replied.
"Yes, so you are a natural Auror. I always thought that only my old friend Albus could see that something was wrong with me." At this time, Moody, who was knocked away, also got up and walked towards this side, looking uninjured. "The charm spell on the ring in the box is too strong. Even though I was very careful to guard against it, I still got caught."
"In addition to the charm spell, there are spells to counteract vigilance, powerful protective spells, and a very vicious curse at the bottom, which will kill you if you are hit." Dumbledore said while waving his wand. After knowing that there was a charm spell, the headmaster easily isolated the charm effect and then analyzed what was on it.
"And Voldemort may have used the precious Resurrection Stone as a Horcrux out of ignorance, which is such a waste. But this also makes this Horcrux very difficult to destroy: this magic prop itself is very strong, not to mention that Voldemort cast a lot of spells on it." Professor Dumbledore seemed a little angry.
Come to think of it, the Deathly Hallows were what Professor Dumbledore had been pursuing when he was young, especially the Resurrection Stone. In this case, seeing that something he had been pursuing for almost his entire life was being destroyed, he did not yell and curse, which was a sign of Professor Dumbledore's high character.
"Wait a minute, Professor. I think I may have something that can destroy Horcruxes." Ryan pulled out a silver dagger. "This is what I got in Brazil last time. When I found this dagger, the box containing it said that it was tempered with basilisk venom, so it is indestructible."
"Is this the one you just held in your hand? Let me see." Dumbledore took the dagger and looked at it carefully. "It turned out to be the dagger that was forged together with the sword of Gryffindor left at Hogwarts. It was mentioned in the school records. However, the records show that this dagger was taken away by a dark wizard in a battle. I didn't expect you to find it."
After that, Dumbledore took the dagger and stabbed the ring in the box. Ryan, who was standing next to him, could only see a pale green light coming out of the box and a wisp of black smoke. However, all these changes were blocked by the defense that Professor Dumbledore had set up before.
Finally, with a jingle sound from the depths of his soul, all the abnormalities in the box disappeared. Professor Dumbledore held onto the table and took a deep breath, as if he had just run up the stairs from the hall. "Albus, are you okay?" Moody said in a hoarse and nervous voice.
"It's okay, the Horcrux has been successfully destroyed." Dumbledore walked around the table and sat down, and used his wand to make himself a cup of hot tea. "The things on it are more terrible than I thought. Fortunately, Ryan reminded me and prevented me from making a big mistake."
At this time, the ring was completely safe, but the resurrection stone embedded in the ring also left a crack. Dumbledore took the ring out of the box and looked at it carefully again and again. Just when Ryan thought he was going to put the ring on his hand, Professor Dumbledore unexpectedly stood up and put the ring on the bookshelf behind him.
"Ryan, remember. Sometimes great power and grand dreams are not as good as the company of your loved ones. Otherwise, when you are older, you will regret that you were too ruthless when you were young, and missed a lot." Dumbledore said to Ryan after putting the ring away. If others would think that this was just an ordinary moral guidance from an old man to his students, Ryan knew that he made such a sigh today because he thought of his sister after seeing the Resurrection Stone.
After having afternoon tea together, Professor Dumbledore asked Professor Moody to leave. Ryan wanted to leave with him, but Dumbledore stopped him and asked him to borrow the Gryffindor dagger, saying that he might need it again later, so he wanted to borrow it now.
In view of the excellent reputation of Headmaster Dumbledore, Ryan lent the dagger to him without hesitation. Of course, from a certain perspective, Ryan was so straightforward because he had basically mastered the production method of this dagger under the analysis of Mr. Luo Zhen and him. The only thing that had not been cracked was the method of the goblins to refine the pure silver material of the sword body.
Since there is no way to further study the dagger for the time being, lending the dagger in exchange for Professor Dumbledore's favor is also a good deal.
Naturally, Dumbledore was also doing Ryan a favor after taking his things. Perhaps it was to repay the favor, or perhaps it was a kind of training for Ryan. Dumbledore gave Ryan a parchment signed with his name, allowing him to borrow some books related to alchemy from the restricted section of the library.
"I'm sure you can put this knowledge to good use, right?" said Dumbledore as he handed him the note.
"Yes, please rest assured, sir." Ryan took the note and assured Dumbledore seriously. This is the knowledge accumulated by the only magic school in the British Isles for thousands of years. Even a small part of it is enough to make people gain a lot. In addition, this action also allowed Ryan to gain 30 points of deviation.
Dumbledore finally waved his hand to signal Ryan that he could leave. When Ryan stepped onto the spiral staircase to leave the office, he saw Dumbledore sitting behind his desk with his eyes closed, as if thinking about something.
