"We seem to have gone a little too well today?" Ryan asked as Moody prepared, "There isn't as much magic in the Gaunt hut as expected, and it's not very powerful. Most of them are hidden and fortified magic, and there are no poisonous spells. I don't think that's normal, it's not in line with that person's psychology. I'm a little worried about what's dangerous hiding in this box. ”

"There's no need to worry about that, Ryan. Dumbledore reassured, "Voldemort hid his relationship with the Gaunt family, and with her pride she wouldn't think anyone else could find out about it." In this case, he shouldn't set up too much magic to attract extra attention. But for me, the professor who watched him enter Hogwarts, his secret was not as well kept as he thought. ”

While Ryan was talking to Professor Dumbledore, Moody had prepared himself with adequate defenses. Under the watchful eye of the six eyes, Moody cautiously opened the box. But unlike what Dumbledore had imagined, nothing happened.

"I'm older, I'm still a little overly nervous, this-" Moody breathed a sigh of relief as nothing happened. He even smiled at Professor Dumbledore. But as soon as he lowered his head and made contact with the contents of the open box, a sudden change occurred.

"There are many obstacles. Ryan immediately turned his hand to the handle without warning, reaching out to Moody in the box and firing a spell. However, he was still a little late, and Dumbledore had already sent Moody flying with the same spell when he had just finished the spell in his mind.

"Nice silent spell, Ryan. "Praise when you put layers of protective charms on the box. "And it's smart, where did you tell that something was wrong with Professor Moody?"

"I think Professor Moody is an experienced Auror, how could he just touch something so dangerous with his hands. Ryan replied.

"That's right, so you're a natural Auror. I always thought that only my old buddy Albus could see that something was wrong with me. At this time, Moody, who had been knocked away, also got up and walked this way, seemingly uninjured. "The charm on that ring in the box is so powerful that even though I was careful to guard against it, I still got hit. ”

"In addition to the charm spell, there are spells used to counteract vigilance, powerful protective spells, and a very vicious curse at the bottom, the kind that can only wait for death once hit. Dumbledore said, 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 precious resurrection stones as Horcruxes because of his ignorance, which is a waste. But it also makes the Horcrux very difficult to break: the item alone is already strong, not to mention that Voldemort has cast a bunch of spells on it. Professor Dumbledore looked a little angry.

Come to think of it, the Deathly Hallows was something Professor Dumbledore had been pursuing since he was younger, especially the Resurrection Stone. In this case, seeing that what he had been pursuing for almost his whole life was ruined like this, and he didn't jump and scold loudly because Professor Dumbledore was extremely high-quality.

"Wait, Professor, I think I might have something here that could destroy Horcruxes. After saying that, Ryan pulled out a silver dagger, "This is the last time I got it in that place in Brazil, when I found this dagger, the box containing the dagger said that it had been quenched with basilisk venom, so it was indestructible." ”

"Is this the one you just held in your hand? Dumbledore took the dagger and looked at it carefully, "It turned out to be the one forged with the Gryffindor Sword left at Hogwarts, as mentioned in the school records." However, the account says that the dagger was taken away by the Dark Wizard during a battle. Didn't expect you to find it. ”

After saying that, Dumbledore took the dagger and stabbed it at the ring in the box, and Ryan, who was standing next to him, could only see a miserable green light from the box, and a trace of black smoke came out. However, all of these anomalies were blocked by the defenses that Professor Dumbledore had set up above.

Finally, with a clanging sound that sounded from the depths of the soul, everything in the box disappeared. Professor Dumbledore leaned on the table and breathed deeply, as if he had just run up the stairs from the hall.

"Albus, are you alright?" Moody said in a hoarse and nervous voice.

"It's okay, the Horcrux has been successfully destroyed. With that, Dumbledore sat down around the table and brought himself a cup of hot tea with his wand. "The stuff on it was more photogenic than I thought it would be, but luckily Ryan reminded me to avoid making a big mistake. ”

At this time, the ring was completely safe, but the resurrection stone set in the ring also left a crack. Dumbledore took the ring out of the box and looked at it carefully, just as Ryan thought he was going to put it on his hand. Unexpectedly, Professor Dumbledore stood up and placed the ring on the bookshelf behind him.

"Ryan, remember. Many times, great power and grand dreams are not as good as the company of loved ones. Otherwise, when you get older, you will regret that you were too ruthless when you were young, so that you missed a lot. After placing the ring, Dumbledore said to Ryan. If others would just think that this was an old man's ordinary moral guidance to students, Ryan knew that it was he who thought of his sister after seeing the Resurrection Stone today.

After afternoon tea together, Professor Dumbledore let Professor Moody leave. Ryan wanted to leave as well, but Dumbledore stopped him and asked him to borrow the Gryffindor dagger, citing that he might need it again later, so he wanted to borrow it now.

Given Headmaster Dumbledore's excellent reputation, Ryan did not hesitate to lend the dagger to Headmaster Dumbledore. Of course, from a certain point of view, Ryan can be so happy because the production techniques of this dagger have basically been mastered under the analysis of Mr. Luo Zhen and him. The only thing that hasn't been cracked is the way for the goblins to refine the sterling silver of the sword body material.

Since there is no way to go further in the research of this dagger for the time being, it is also a good deal to lend the dagger in exchange for Professor Dumbledore's favor.

Naturally, Dumbledore also accepted a favor after taking Ryan's things. It may be to repay this favor, or it may be a kind of cultivation for Ryan. Dumbledore gave Ryan a piece of parchment with his name on it, allowing him to borrow some alchemy-related books from the library's forbidden section.

"I'm sure you'll be able to put this knowledge to good use, right?" said Dumbledore as he handed him the note.

Yes, don't worry, sir. Ryan took the note and seriously assured Dumbledore that this was the only magical school in the British Isles that had accumulated knowledge for thousands of years, and even a small part of it was enough to make people gain a lot. In addition to this, this operation also allowed Ryan to gain thirty offset points.

Dumbledore finally waved his hand to signal Ryan to leave, and as he stepped up the spiral staircase to leave the office, Ryan saw Dumbledore sitting behind his desk and closed his eyes, as if thinking about something.
