Chapter 367: The Second Horcrux

"I'm pretty sure this thing is a Horcrux as well. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Dumbledore mused, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, looking like he was really thinking about something.

Van Lin came out of the Room of Request and made an excuse to come to Dumbledore.

The Horcruxes left behind by Voldemort are too dangerous, just like the diary last time, and the power can manifest the soul, and Van Lin can't let this kind of thing do things.

"Ravenclaw's crown," Dumbledore said lightly, "how did you find him?"

Dumbledore rubbed his finger over the notch on his crown, and there was an inscription on the phrase that all Ravenclaws believed in - "Superior wisdom is the greatest treasure of mankind." ”

"You know, this thing has been gone for centuries, and only Helena knows the clue, the ghost of Ravenclaw, and we should call him Lady Grey now. She is the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw. ”

"That's something I didn't expect, Headmaster. "Van Lin said that now if you tell a lie or something, you can already keep your face and heart beating, which is a good progress.

"Actually, I only found him in the Room of Requirement, and Tom was the one who found it, and the crown had been made into a Horcrux when it was discovered. ”

"Found him?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes, through the pain of Harry's scar. Van Lin said that Harry's matter, Van Lin believed that Dumbledore must have known about it, and it didn't seem strange that there were inductions between Horcruxes.

"What about Harry? does he know?" Dumbledore frowned rarely, using Harry to find the Horcruxes, which was undoubtedly to expose something.

"No, Professor. Van Lin said that he knew what Dumbledore was looking for.

"This Horcrux has not been destroyed. "I think we need to destroy it first." ”

"I'm sorry, I haven't found a way to destroy Horcruxes yet, in fact, I haven't found any Horcruxes other than the Ravenclaw crown and the journal in front of me, and the number of Horcruxes is uncertain. ”

"Maybe we can use that. Van Lin said confidently, his finger pointing at the Gryffindor Sword lying quietly in the glass case, with which Harry had slain the guardian beast left behind by Salazar Slytherin, and the sword itself absorbed only the powerful.

"This?" said Dumbledore, and the Gryffindor sword appeared in his hand as he flipped his hand.

"That's right, Professor. Van Lin nodded, "Actually, the basilisk can also have fangs, that is, the basilisk in the secret room, but only the parseltongue can pass through the magic circle left by Salazar Slytherin, and we don't have the key portkey." ”

"Oh, yes. Dumbledore said, "I almost forgot about these things. ”

"The blade can only attach to powerful things, and the basilisk's venom happens to be a means of destroying Horcruxes, and Harry used the fangs to destroy the diary. Dumbledore nodded, he was now able to confirm what to do.

"Shall we destroy it here?" Van Lin asked, in fact, he was tempted to say that the Fire Charm could do it, but it was better for this kind of black magic to rot in the stomach.

"Right here. Dumbledore said, and with a wave of his hand, the magic circle hidden in the Headmaster's office was activated in an instant.

Van Lin couldn't recognize what these magic circles were at all, they shared runes with each other, overlapped each other, and if someone fought Dumbledore here, then as long as Dumbledore activated these magic arrays, he would be invincible here.

"This is Hogwarts' defensive magic circle. Dumbledore said lightly, "This is the safest place to be. ”

"I'm convinced of that, Professor. Fan Lin nodded, and at a glance, there were basically hundreds of magic arrays hidden here.

If these magic circles could be activated when Voldemort attacked Hogwarts, Hogwarts would not have been able to be breached so easily by Voldemort.

However, the only person in control of these magic circles can be the Headmaster of Hogwarts, which should be something that only the Headmaster can succeed, otherwise, Professor McGonagall would not only be able to dispatch the Hogwarts Guardian Statue.

In fact, at the time of the final battle in memory, Hogwarts' own magical defense system had completely disappeared with the death of Dumbledore and Snape's false betrayal.

The magical enchantment was only supported by the combined spells of everyone, which was simply easy and enjoyable for Voldemort.

"Come on, let's see what's left of Tom here. Dumbledore said, controlling Gryffindor's sword.

With the gentle drop of the fingers, the tip of the Gryffindor sword gently pierced the gem in the center of Ravenclaw's crown.

In an instant, Dumbledore's office was filled with a terrible wail, and the headmasters did not hide, everyone stared solemnly at the crown of Rowena Ravenclaw.

Sure enough, Tom did not disappoint everyone, and the broken soul swept out from the gem in the center of the crown with a cloud of black gas, as if it had released some terrible monster.

The black aura continued to tumble, and soon formed the avatar of Voldemort, and the cold and evil aura exploded in an instant, and the table where the crown was placed was also corroded by these aura at the same time, as if it had been infected by a long time.

"Be careful, he's going to attack us. Dumbledore said, his palm pressing down slightly, and the runes around him formed a silver glittering cage in an instant.

What happened next was nothing more than Tom Riddle's soul wanting to attack the two of them and forcibly ramming the magic array.

However, it was only a fragment of the soul, and it had been stripped from the Horcrux it relied on, and now it was only a little remnant of the soul's power.

Even Voldemort himself was difficult to break free after being controlled by Dumbledore with a magic circle, let alone some residual power.

With the method in hand, destroying the Horcruxes was no longer too difficult for Dumbledore.

While Van Lin was thinking, Voldemort's struggle came to an end, but Dumbledore did not want him to die completely, and Van Lin saw that Dumbledore seemed to be trying to envelop the fragments of his soul with magic.

However, this work is futile, and the real soul has been destroyed at the same time as the Horcrux is destroyed, and this is just some of Voldemort's defenses.

Dumbledore seemed to recognize this, and he seemed to regret it.
