Chapter Twenty-Nine: Gaunt's Old House
The Gaunts' house was not as well protected as it might seem, and the fact that there were a lot of Muggle banishment spells and confusion spells did not mean that there was no way to break them, let alone that they worked for everything - time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Even if the magic array with a complex design is running, it needs to be constantly replenished. Not to mention the routine magic that is usually replenished by the people who set up these spells or inhabit them.
Gaunt's house is like this, it has been uninhabited for a long time, and most of the spells around it are decades old. It can't be said that it is completely meaningless, at least these spells are still effective for Muggles, but for wizards, the hindrance of these spells can only be said to be better than nothing.
It was under such circumstances that Holly approached the old Gaunt house.
The house is surrounded by tall nettles, and the layers of magic fluctuations are relatively easy for Holly to feel.
It is a dilapidated house with an S-shaped snake nailed to the door. The walls were covered with moss, and the roof tiles had fallen quite a bit.
The windows are small, and there is a thick layer of aged dirt.
Judging from the fluctuation of magic on the periphery, it was originally very tolerant at the gate, but after getting closer, the defensive magic that was instantly enhanced, there was indeed a big easter egg inside, at least, there was definitely something worthy of special protection by someone.
As for what is hidden inside, Holly has no idea for the time being, but from a reverse point of view, the contents are definitely of great significance, at least to the people who hide the things inside.
Cautiously approaching the door, trying to reach for it and push it open, he felt a strong magic force that wanted to push him away. Instead of continuing his reckless attempt, Holly stared at the snake embedded in the door for a long time, as if he wanted to get some news from it.
It's rare to see snakes nailed in the shape of an S, and of course, for Hogwarts, a school that integrates all the wizarding families of England and other countries, there are all sorts of strange symbols.
Seeing this S-shaped snake, Holly's first impression was Snape's office, and there seemed to be such a decoration on the wall, but it didn't seem to be infused with magic as here.
It's not that you can't open the door violently through magic, but if you can, try not to break the door violently from the moment you enter. The level of popularity is not the same as that of pushing open the door of someone else's house and knocking open the door of someone else's house, and this is even more obvious for those who are related to Slyergelin......
Another point is that if the door is violently broken, Holly is not sure whether it will directly destroy the foundation of the house's magic cycle...... After all, even if the mana fluctuations on the periphery are very weak, from the gate, the mana fluctuations are still very strong, and the possibility that the entire "house" is a magic array used to store mana cannot be ruled out......
A "hiss" sound came from Holly's throat, snake whispering. Holly sank to death for a few seconds and remembered where he had seen a similar sign.
From the entrance to all corners of the secret room, wherever there are some mysteries in the back, most of them are the same situation. It looks like a wall, and there is an S-shaped snake carved on it, and if you use snake language on it, you will find a hole in the back.
Holly once asked Salazar why he had such a setting, but Salazar did not give a clear answer, only vaguely saying that everyone will have their own secrets.
Seeing the gate abruptly parting in the middle, as he had seen countless times before, Holly seemed to have some thoughts about Salazar's answer, but it didn't matter.
Raising his wand and ready to deal with all kinds of problems at any time, Holly slowly moved forward, and the gate behind him quietly returned to its original state after Holly entered the courtyard.
The house is low and at the same time full of traces of time. There were still some shards of glass scattered under the narrow windows, and on the walls, there were traces of various spells.
On the windowsill, too, a thick layer of dirt was deposited.
There is not the slightest defensive magic in the courtyard, and yes, unless there are special circumstances, there are generally no people in their own courtyards, all kinds of traps and traps, one is that unless there are special circumstances, no one will force through the courtyard wall to enter other people's territory, if this is done, no matter what the situation, the owner has the right to do anything; However, as for the secrecy of Muggles and magic, the predecessors of hundreds of years ago had used their own lessons to teach everyone the importance of keeping any news about magic secret from Muggles.
No one wants to have another witch hunt, especially today, when the power of magic has shrunk significantly compared to hundreds of years ago, without the original vote of tenth-order powerful wizards, even if the current church is no longer the era of hundreds of years ago, the Ministry of Magic does not want to be exposed to all Muggles again.
Even if he was sure that there would be no traps in the yard, Holly still didn't dare to be careless. Every time you take a step forward, you will first feel the magic fluctuations around you, although the speed is slow, but it is better to be safe......
The same is true for the door and door of the house, which is also opened in a parseltongue cavity and a little dust rushes in.
Without the cleaning spell of most wizards' houses, a thick layer of dust fell on the house, and the sunlight shone from the small windows and doorways, and the flying dust was clearly visible in the air.
Standing outside the door for a long time, Holly wanted to wait for the dust in the air to slowly settle, and at the same time, with the help of a few beams of light, he surveyed the whole room.
There was dust everywhere, including on all sorts of shelves. In the room, there didn't seem to be anything left except for two chairs and a bed.
Even if it was an ornament, it looked like it was just some shoddy stubble carved in the shape of an S-shaped snake, and as for the rest, there was a shelf that looked pretty good, but there were no more items on the shelf, and even the shelf was starting to rot a little.
I have to sigh at the power of time, but Holly's gaze is only swept away by these things. There doesn't seem to be anything to be taken seriously here......
