The Silent Witch of Hogwarts

Chapter 577 I am a Magic Array Expert

Loila never expected to encounter a magic circle in such a remote place, let alone that it could be used for such a thing.

The pool in front of you is a locked magic array, and the way to break this magic array is to drink all the water in the pool—is this some kind of gluttony challenge?

Loila looked up at the liquid inside, guessing it definitely wasn't ordinary water—if Miss Shiloh hadn't been there, Loila would have wanted to try it herself.

But if I actually tried it, I'd definitely be seen as a weirdo, right?

To be honest, the creator of this magic circle is still a bit too inexperienced.

It was designed so that drinking all the liquid would break the magic circle—if Roy were in charge, he would design it so that even drinking it all wouldn't break the magic circle—the point of drinking these strange liquids is simply to make people drink them—

Of course, if the creator and Loila share the same idea, then they will never be able to obtain what's behind this magic lock.

That's right, this magic array was set up to protect something —

Loila gently tapped her wand here, then modified a corner of the magic circle—

Although the idea behind this magic circle was good, the technique was still a bit immature, at least in terms of the setup of the magic circle. There were no anti-countermeasures or methods to prevent it from being modified. Just like the magic circle that Luo Yi set up in the maze.

However, after being modified by Voldemort, each of the magic circles created by Roy used more complex encryption methods.

But precisely because the magic array in front of him had no encryption or anti-tampering measures, Roy felt a sense of familiarity when he made the modifications.

I seem to have seen a similar magic circle engraving technique before — Loila once mentioned that each magic circle scholar has a slightly different engraving technique, and this difference is reflected in the unique mark of each person on the magic circle.

For example, her father's magic circle was seamless and smooth, making it pleasing to the eye, while Loila's magic circle was, in her opinion, rather—sloppy, more like a series of strokes of imitation.

The magic array before them exuded an arrogant aura, and the person who carved it seemed quite smug.

Loila pursed her lips, feeling increasingly uneasy about what she should change. Finally, she paused slightly, put down her quill, and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Shiloh noticed this and tightened her grip on her wand slightly before whispering, "Is there some trouble?"

"No—not trouble—but—" Loila bit her lip and pondered for a few seconds before tilting her head to look at Shiro: "I think I know who created this magic circle."

"Huh?" Shiloh paused, then asked, "Is it someone you know?"

"We're not exactly acquaintances, are we?" Loila paused, then continued, "Maybe not—it's hard to say whether they're even a person."

Heero's confusion deepened: "Could Dumbledore create magic circles?"

Ok?

Miss Heero doesn't seem to have much respect for Dumbledore.

"No—it wasn't him." Loila shook her head and poked her fingers. "It was—it was Voldemort."

"?"

'

Hilo blinked.

"It's him—it's him!" Loila quickly explained, "I've seen this kind of engraving before—"

"The magic circle on his diary is also in this form. — And then — and the way he engraved it when he tampered with my magic circle before."

Hearing this, Shiloh nodded and then interrupted Loila's unfinished explanation: "If it's Voldemort—then why is there such a magic circle here?"

"Hmm!" Loila immediately understood what it meant.

"Hornets?"

"Hmm." Shiloh nodded seriously upon hearing this: "It's very likely that something Horcrux is being protected inside."

She looked around as she spoke: "After all, apart from Horcruxes—I can't think of anything that deserves such protection."

Horcruxes — Horcruxes — Roy gripped the quill pen slightly.

According to Dumbledore's earlier statement, Voldemort was also collecting Horcruxes—it seems he hasn't arrived here yet—so he and Miss Shirley have stumbled upon a place where Horcruxes haven't been collected by accident—

That's really lucky.

Hmm—how come Dumbledore's wish has come true again?

Roy shook his head at this thought: "If it's—a Horcrux—then Dumbledore is really getting off easy."

Upon hearing this, Shiloh shook her head: "We don't need to give it to him, do we?"

"For example—we could keep it for ourselves first." Shiloh frowned slightly as she said this: "That's still a bit too risky."

"Voldemort is now very powerful—even using him against Dumbledore won't be a simple matter."

.

"And the Rozier family and the Musikverein are now—" she paused, "Let's get our hands on the Horcruxes first."

"Hmm—Hmm!" Loila nodded in agreement and picked up her quill pen to continue revising.

Although the engraving of the magic circle wasn't particularly skillful, it's still quite good for an assignment from over a decade ago.

Loila actually had the idea of ​​praising Voldemort—she really had been a professor for far too long.

"Clatter".

With a slight flick of the quill pen, the magic circle emitted a faint glow as Loila moved. Then, under her focused gaze, the water in the pool slowly disappeared, as if it had been sucked away by some kind of funnel.

It's a pity I haven't yet tasted what the liquid Voldemort left for everyone tasted like.

"Pop!"

As the water disappeared, a small box slowly appeared with a soft sound.

It was a box with a pendant, and it looked quite antique, with a slightly eerie feel to it.

However, it did not give Royla the feeling of a Horcrux.

"This doesn't seem to be a Horcrux?" Loila subconsciously reached out and took out the box, which earned her a glare from Shiloh.

"This is a dangerous thing—don't just reach out and pick it up."

"Ah—sorry, sorry—" Loila quickly threw it back into the pool.

"."

Hilo sighed helplessly, then reached out and took the box out herself.

She looked at the box a few times, then shook it slightly.

"There seems to be something inside?" she muttered.

"What is it—it shouldn't be a Horcrux anymore, right?" Loila thought for a moment and said, "I don't feel—that familiar feeling."

It seems that he and Miss Shiloh guessed wrong — Loy shrugged helplessly and watched Shiloh open the box.

"Hmm?" Miss Hilo seemed to have seen something, and a hint of surprise appeared in her purple eyes.

Then she carefully took out a note and read it.

"To the Dark Lord: I know I will be dead by the time you read this letter, but I want you to know:"

"I discovered your secret. I've taken the real Horcrux and destroyed it as soon as possible. I risked my life so that you, when you met your destined opponent, would only be a mortal of flesh and blood—"

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Loila and Shiloh exchanged a glance, both noticing the surprise in each other's eyes.

"This is a fake Horcrux that's been switched out?!"

Hilo took a deep breath and looked at the very end of the note.

"From AB?"

,

Who is RAB?
