Chapter 147: The Elder Wand in Hand
"What do we do now?" Everyone looked at Twilight.
"The safest way is to go to Professor McGonagall, after all, ordinary basilisks are difficult to deal with even powerful adult wizards, and this one was left over from Slytherin a thousand years ago, and it is almost impossible for a few of us to deal with it..."
"Alright, let's go to Professor McGonagall now!" Harry rinsed and closed the passage, and the group headed to Professor McGonagall's office.
But there was no one in the office, and when I asked the ghosts passing by, they didn't know where Professor McGonagall had gone.
"Now—"
"Let's go back to the common room and wait!" An imperceptible sneer flashed at the corner of Mu Dui's mouth, and he said lightly.
McGonagall was out of the office, and Twilight would have known about it, otherwise Twilight wouldn't have taken them to Myrtle to find the entrance to the secret room.
"Oh well..."
Remembering the horror of the basilisk depicted by Mu Dui, several people had no choice but to return to the lounge first.
And then—
"What?! Ginny is missing? ”
"Damn! I'm going to save Ginny! ”
Ginny's disappearance panicked both Ron and Harry.
"Calm down!" Twilight opened her mouth and scolded, "Hermione and Ron went to find the other professors, and Harry and I went to Dumbledore's office-"
"What are you doing in Dumbledore's office? Wasn't Dumbledore absent? ”
"The basilisk has magic resistance that is not inferior to that of dragons, eyes that will die when seen and extremely poisonous teeth, even if other professors join forces, it may not be able to deal with it, as far as I know, only Gryffindor's sword can unfold its skin and kill it, this sword should still be in Professor Dumbledore's office!"
"I see!" Harry nodded solemnly, although he went to Dumbledore's office to get things without his permission, but in order to save people, Harry couldn't care so much.
And how to enter Dumbledore's office, Harry was the only one of the four who knew.
“Lemon drop!”
As Harry shouted the correct command, Twilight managed to enter the Headmaster's office.
"There's so much stuff here, how are we going to find Gryffindor's sword?" Harry kept scanning his surroundings, and for a moment it was difficult to find the so-called Gryffindor sword among the various shelves.
"Ask the Sorting Hat, it must know!"
"Sorting Hat?"
"You're looking for Gryffindor's sword?"
"Yes, we're dealing with the Slytherin basilisk—" Harry quickly explained to the Sorting Hat what they were here for, while Twilight searched for the Elder Wand.
"Something like the Elder Wand obviously can't be in the open... So... Wands flying! ”
Twilight closed her eyes, remembering what the Elder Wand had seen in the movies, and unleashed the Flying Charm with all her might.
Although the Elder Wand had a mind of its own and obeyed only its master, it was caught off guard by the Flying Charm and throbbed twice.
"Bang-"
"What's going on?"
Harry jumped, and then saw Twilight quickly dig out a box from the locker.
"Mu Dui-san—"
"I feel that there is a very powerful magic in this, and it seems to actively want to help us deal with the basilisk!"
Twilight shook the wand in her hand, her eyes filled with surprise.
This time his surprise was not disguised, but because the attributes of the Elder Wand were too powerful.
"Elder Wand, mana +500, mana recovery speed 100%, currently unusable without recognizing the master, worth 200 points-"
Not much to say about the mana value +500, the Elder Wand has always symbolized this endless magic power in this world, but it can also be exchanged for 200 points, which is a bit high.
Do you want 200 points or 500 mana cap? This has been a long time agonizing for Twilight.
Of course, it's not now to be entangled.
"Let's go, it's important to save Ginny first!"
Seeing that Harry was about to say anything more, Twilight had already grabbed the Sorting Hat and ran out of the office, as the Sorting Hat had already told Harry that Gryffindor's sword was inside it.
"Okay!" Seeing this, Harry no longer hesitated and hurriedly followed.
It didn't take long for Harry to realize that something was wrong.
"Wait, this doesn't seem to be the direction to the entrance—"
"I suddenly remembered something, it helped us a lot in dealing with the basilisk!"
"But it's too late to save Ginny—"
"But I'm also responsible for Hermione, blindly trying to save people will only trap yourself in it, you can not care about yourself, but what about Ron? What about Hermione? And what about the professors? That's a basilisk that kills when you see it! ”
Twilight said as she ran, and soon led Harry to the outside of the Room of Request.
"I need a place to hide... I need a place to hide something... I need a place to hide something."
After a quick meditation in my heart three times, the gate appeared from the wall.
Harry watched in amazement, and then subconsciously followed Twilight into the door.
"That's what you're talking about?"
"yes," Twilight said as she walked over to the Vanishing Locker, smiling and opening it, before dragging a sleepy Ginny out of it and pushing it towards Harry.
"Ginny? What's going on? How could Ginny be here?! Harry subconsciously reached out to hold Ginny and looked at Twilight in shock.
Then, his face changed suddenly.
"Are you the heir of Slytherin?!"
"No, the heir of Slytherin is Tom A. M. Riddle, the owner of the journal you see, was the one who controlled Ginny to release the basilisk through the diary—"
As he spoke, Twilight had already walked into the Vanishing Cabinet and disappeared before Harry's eyes.
The villain dies of talking too much, and although Mu Du does not admit that he is a villain, he will not make such a low-level mistake.
Back at the house he secretly bought, Twilight blew up the vanishing cabinet here, so that no one could track it down with another vanishing cabinet.
"Pull Ring, this is the Gryffindor sword you asked for - but you'll have to take me to the vault first!"
Five minutes later, Twilight, who had changed her form, appeared at Gringotts.
As early as the Christmas holidays, he had already found the elf Tab that he had traded with Harry Potter in the original books, and had also made a deal with him with the sword of Gryffindor.
"Okay, I'll take you there!"
Although Gringotts is heavily guarded, it has little to no defense against the goblins inside.
Descending a few hundred meters underground, Raring led him to Bellatrix Lestrange's personal vault.
"Alright, give me the Gryffindor sword!"
"Wait until I make sure-"
Twilight walks into the vault, and the first thing she sees is the dragon that has just awakened from its slumber and the Hufflepuff Gold Cup that sits behind the dragon.
"Right? We goblins are the most honest in trading! With a greedy look in her eyes, Ra Ring said, staring at the sword in Mu Dui's hand.
"Hmm... Really honest... That's up to you! ”
A sharp sound of breaking through the air sounded, and Mu Dusk slashed off Rahuan's head with a lightning sword.
Just kidding, Gryffindor's sword was worth 80 points, how could he possibly give it to the greedy goblin Ra Ring.
"Roar!"
Feeling the murderous aura on Mu Dui's body, the dragon suddenly roared, and a mouthful of dragon breath erupted.
Knowing the power of the dragon's breath, Twilight chose to dodge the dragon with his sword instead of using a defensive spell.
If he were to fight the dragon purely by sorcerer's means, even if Twilight was now strong, he could only use the Avada Death Spell or the Fierce Fire Spell to effectively kill the dragon.
But it's different with the means of a warrior with the magic sword with the defense-breaking characteristics in his hand, think about the fact that Harry, who was only twelve years old and weak in the original book, was able to stab the basilisk to death, and even the hardest fangs of the basilisk could be cut, you know how powerful this Gryffindor sword is.
"Poof!"
Hot dragon blood splattered, and the dragon let out a wail and fell to the ground.
Twilight jumped up directly after getting close, and a sword pierced its brain through the middle of its skull, the so-called dragon slaying is as simple as that.
Good skills and a sharp weapon that can easily kill the dragon, you can do it, of course, this is also because the dragon did not take off, otherwise if you want to slay the dragon, you have to learn to fly.
"What a beautiful skill, Miss Twilight!"
"Hehe, Professor Dumbledore, I didn't expect you to track this place so quickly—" Twilight reached out and put away the Hufflepuff's gold cup.
Although Voldemort personally applied the Copy Charm and the Fire Charm to the cup, Twilight took it directly into the backpack, so the two spells did not work as well as they should.
"Can you explain why you're doing this?" Dumbledore asked, frowning.
He really couldn't understand why Twilight had attacked Ginny and taken the diary, and tricked Harry into ransacking his headmaster's office.
However, with his magical attainments, he can see that Twilight is not controlled by magic, but purely voluntary, which is what he really does not understand.
"What do you want me to explain?"
Twilight smiled and put Gryffindor's sword in his backpack, which looked like he had given up resistance, but in fact made it impossible for Dumbledore to track his whereabouts.
"Did I stun Ginny? Snatched the Elder Wand, the Sorting Hat, and Gryffindor's sword? Or did I cheat the Philosopher's Stone from Hagrid? ”
"You also took the Philosopher's Stone?"
Dumbledore's face changed, which he really hadn't expected.
"That's right!"
"Why are you doing this? You don't need any of these things with your talent, do you? Even I, even Voldemort, can't achieve the magic of yours at this age! Dumbledore was even more puzzled.
"For what... Let me think... To improve your strength, right? I'm not strong enough! Twilight smiled and tossed the Elder Wand to Dumbledore.
"Not strong enough?" Dumbledore subconsciously caught the Elder Wand.
"Prophecy, Professor Dumbledore, you're no stranger to it, right?" Twilight smiled and pulled out her wand.
"Voldemort will come back sooner or later according to your method, and it will cost the entire wizarding world a great loss, so I have to come in my own way - except for your weapons!"
Twilight attacks Dumbledore as a joke.
Dumbledore didn't dodge, allowing Twilight to knock his Elder Wand away. Although Dumbledore received the Elder Wand from Grindelwald and held it for decades, he was unaware of its true principles.
At Dumbledore's inexplicable gaze, a smile of delight appeared on Wood Twilight's face, as the Elder Wand, which had fallen into his hands again, had been completely unsealed.
Defeat, disarm, and obtain the Elder Wand from its original owner through these positive means, and the Elder Wand will reclaim its owner.
In an instant, the mana of Twilight with the Elder Wand in his hand skyrocketed to 605, which was already even better than Dumbledore.
Of course, it's hard to say who will win or lose in a head-to-head duel, because Dumbledore is so experienced, and he still has his own wand in his hand.
"And what do you mean by that?" Dumbledore didn't feel the killing intent from Twilight, so he didn't do anything.
"Of course, it's the Horcrux that preemptively destroys Voldemort!"
"But how many Horcruxes Voldemort had, no one knew where they were hidden, and it wasn't that easy to destroy them—"
"Seven - Voldemort has a total of seven Horcruxes!"
"Tom Riddle's diary, in Lucius's hands, was given to Ginny during his summer vacation, and he took the opportunity to bring it into Hogwarts to open the Chamber of Secrets-"
"Marvolo Gaunt's ring, the resurrection stone of the Death Trichows, the legacy token of the Gaunt family, hidden in the old Gaunt mansion in Great Hangerton—"
"The Slytherin locket, originally hidden in a cave that Voldemort visited as a child, was later exchanged for a fake by Regulus Atalos Black, who ordered the house-elf Kreacher to destroy it, but instead of doing so, Kreacher placed it in a display case on the second floor of the Black family's old house at 12 Grimmauld Place—"
"The Ravenclaw crown, Voldemort found it from Helena, the Ravenclaw ghost, Lady Grey, and made it into a Horcrux and placed it in the special Bing room at Hogwarts—"
"I don't need to say more about Hufflepuff's Gold Cup, as you should have seen just now, Voldemort gave it to his most loyal subordinate, Bellatrix Lestrange, and deposited it in Gringotts."
The more he listened, the more horrified he became, and Dumbledore couldn't help but be shocked when he didn't say a Horcrux, because such an accurate calculation was far beyond the scope of prophecy, and no one except Voldemort himself should know about it.
Unless that person had cast a Imperius curse on Voldemort.
But Voldemort was the best Imperius master in the wizarding world, and he had the same extraordinary talent as Grindelwald mastered the Fire Charm, and it seemed impossible for him to take Reimburser Voldemort.
So Dumbledore really couldn't figure out how Twilight knew all this information.
