Chapter 1493: A Plan to Break into Gringotts
"I don't know if this is the first case after the Riddle murder, but you two must have seen it, and this time he was not for revenge, but for profit. Dumbledore said, "He wanted the two treasures that the poor old lady had shown him, just as he had robbed the other children of the orphanage, just as he had stolen his uncle's ring, and this time he had stolen Hepziba's cup and locket." ”
Murder for the sake of profit shows that Voldemort's motives are rational and he will not be easily emotional.
Of course, it is doubtful how much of this rationality remains today.
His growing power and his ever-splitting soul had left him with little patience to plan a sophisticated murder.
Now, anyone who hinders him or simply makes him unhappy will be killed by Voldemort.
"I hope you can understand what these things mean to him, he is not just choosing the items to make Horcruxes, each of his Horcruxes is extremely special to him, these things are more or less related to Hogwarts, he can't resist something that is soaked in the history of Hogwarts, you have to remember that. Dumbledore said, looking at the clock next to him, "It's getting late, we've got this over tonight's lesson on Voldemort, and we can talk about the Golden Cup and the house-elf home." ”
Avan noticed that Dumbledore was smiling at him, and he gathered his thoughts and said, "I once saw Hufflepuff use that gold cup, and it was her favorite thing. Of course, it may have been crafted into a Horcrux by Voldemort by now. Professor, are you sure there's information about the house-elf home?"
"I think so, if we trace the history of that golden cup, we will know that it is not a wizard artifact, but was made by house-elves, originally a vessel to assist house-elves in transporting magical food. Dumbledore said, "The first house-elf to work at Hogwarts gave it to Helga Hufflepuff, and that house-elf was the Toto we were looking for, and the maker of the Gold Cup......"
These are the history of the Hufflepuff Gold Cup, a magical vessel made by house-elves.
It sounds a bit like a Gryffindor's sword made by goblins, but there are a lot of various types made by goblins, and it was the first time that Aven had heard of what house-elves would make. Needless to say, Jinbei is connected to Hufflepuff and her house-elf friends, but what does this have to do with house-elves?
"There aren't many magic tools made by house-elves, and if you've ever touched other items, you'll know that house-elves have a habit of leaving a unique mark on the magic tools they make. Dumbledore paused, then continued, "I suppose you saw the pattern at the bottom of the cup, right?"
"I see it, but I can't read it!" said Evan uncertainly, "that pattern seems to be a kind of text." ”
Just as Voldemort turned the cup upside down, he noticed the strange pattern at the bottom of the cup.
"It is indeed writing, the language of the ancient elves, a dying demonic script, which few people know now, but it is not impossible to decipher, such as my old friend Nicola May. Dumbledore smiled and said, "From him, I also had the good fortune to know the information contained in the sigil left by the house-elves, mainly the name of the house-elf who made this artifact and where it was made. Not surprisingly, that location was the place we were looking for. ”
In other words, the strange pattern at the bottom of the Hufflepuff Gold Cup will have information about where it was made, this gold cup was made by the house-elf Duoduo, then the place where it was made must be his hometown, that is, the place where he finally returned with the Hufflepuff Treasure Key, the home of the house-elves!
This is a very direct and effective clue, much more reliable than using elimination or simple guesswork.
"So Professor, where is this Gold Cup at the moment?" Harry couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know, Voldemort will undoubtedly hide in a place where he thinks he is safe. Dumbledore said, "This place is traceable, much easier than finding a home for a house-elf, as I always tell you, he doesn't choose Horcruxes for no reason, and he doesn't choose where to hide them......"
yes, yes, the Gold Cup is currently in Gringotts' most heavily defended vault.
Although it has been said before, Evan has to say again that this is quite a troublesome place. He had broken into Gringotts in Egypt once, but that time he was accompanied by elves, and the defenses of Gringotts in Egypt and Gringotts headquarters in England were not the same.
With Aven's current strength, it is not impossible to break in, just like Quirrell and Voldemort did back then, but the level of danger is also very high. Besides, Quirrell only went to the vault in the normal area, and the Lestrange family's vault that Evan was going to was in the most heavily defended area of Gringotts.
The difficulty of the two places is not comparable!
To break into Gringotts, Aven needs to prepare, prepare.
Perhaps, he could tell Dumbledore about it, risking exposure.
He's always had good luck finding Horcruxes anyway, and the headmaster might have gotten used to it. However, even Dumbledore couldn't get the goblins to hand over the contents of the vault, so the final result was to break in, but if Dumbledore broke into Gringotts......
Evan looked at Dumbledore again, thinking that it was better to dismiss the idea as soon as possible.
...................................................................................................
Dumbledore's lessons stuffed a lot of things into Evan and Harry's heads at once, Evan was better, he could remember more or less about Voldemort's past, and now he needed to think about how to get the gold cup at Gringotts, compared to him, Harry had more to think about and digest, and he didn't sleep well all night.
The next day, they told Hermione, Elaine, and Ron about these things as they normally would.
After some discussion, it was determined that the goal was in front of him, and what needed to be done was the homework left by Dumbledore and the memories of Slughorn, but this matter was not the focus of Aven, let Harry work hard, that memory did not have much meaning to Evan anymore, and Slughorn had always been wary of him.
He was already vigilant enough, if Evan moved too much, it would produce bad results.
Dumbledore said the same thing, so it would be good for Harry to be the main one in this matter, and Evan would be there to help.
Harry's first temptation was in Dumbledore's first Potions class after his lesson.
The class was almost the same as usual, and he made a big splash with his knowledge of Advanced Potions Making......
