"Squeak—"

When it was covered with dust, it still looked structurally intact, and the door panel was still standing strong and standing here without the slightest bit of decay.

It's been a long time since anyone has been visiting, and in a sense, it's a place of right and wrong, and even Luke doesn't want to come more.

There is not much more property in the family, and there is not much less of this property. There is no need to put yourself in such a dangerous place.

"This door......" Taylor knocked lightly on the door panel, listening to the crisp sound of 'Dongdong, with a strange expression, and then blew the dust on the door panel, choking and coughing. Luke's reaction was quick, and a magic shield appeared in front of Taylor.

Taylor didn't care, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the remaining dust, and saw through the crack the delicate and natural texture of the wood.

"Your family really surprises me in every house."

Taylor put the dirty handkerchief back in his pocket, shook his head and said with emotion.

"The wood used in this house is the same as your cabin?"

Luke hadn't noticed this and leaned over to take a look. Then he shook his head, "It's different, it's a lot worse. Although it looks very similar. But this one obviously doesn't form a natural magic resistance pattern."

"It's a special kind of amazing plant. After growing to a certain age, it will have a considerable amount of magic resistance. But this one was obviously cut in a hurry, or the person who cut the tree didn't know how to do it, and he cut it before the lines were formed."

Luke's expression looked a little regretful. And Taylor is confused.

It turns out that there are such amazing plants in the world!

"I haven't heard of it."

"Only my family has it. The ancestors of that generation in the family were more possessive. This thing can only grow in that particular environment. So he transplanted all the trees in our mountain and created that kind of environment. He destroyed the original natural environment."

Luke said it lightly. But Taylor was a little speechless for a while.

"Your ancestors aren't a thing......

"I don't argue with that."

Luke nodded approvingly. But he didn't go on to say anything, after all, he had a vested interest. No, don't eat and scold your mother.

"Let's go, don't bother with this door."

Luke looked at Taylor and said seriously, "If you like to come back, I can find something better for you." Forget it here. Except for a few, everything else I touched was dirty."

The last three men of the other Gaunt were just too sloppy. Not to mention the aristocracy, they are almost like Russian serfs. Even normal wizards are too fast to count.

Taylor gave Luke an angry look, in her opinion, Luke is not diligent and thrifty at all, after all, such a valuable thing at a glance is so disdainful.

Of course, Taylor wasn't uncommon with the money it could sell. He was more curious if the wood could be used in potions.

"Then remember to help me find it, Professor Snape asked me to find a new material that could be used as a raw material for potions during the summer." ….

Taylor followed in Luke's footsteps and instructed him earnestly.

Luke raised an eyebrow, "Snape asked you to be a student to discover a new potion material. Merlin's beard. Who is he embarrassed?"

"Of course it doesn't have to be new!" Taylor argued weakly, "The professor said it...... It is okay if it is lost or extinct."

Luke turned his head and saw Taylor's slightly aggrieved expression, and finally just sighed: "He's testing you, he's testing me......

Snape made it clear that he wanted Taylor to take something out of Luke's hand that ordinary people wouldn't see. If others don't know it, can he not know it? Over the course of the year, Professor McGonagall grew in strength and took a new direction in her Transfiguration research. These were the notes that Luke had lent her at the time.

This made some professors feel envious and at the same time began to move their minds.

In his final years, Luke lived a comfortable life without the indulgence of his professors, whether intentional or unintentional.

Of course, Luke is basically able to solve most of the learning problems. After all, this can't be considered a back door. At most, it can only be regarded as a convenience for outstanding students. These are two completely different concepts.

"Actually, I can do it myself."

Taylor stuck out his tongue at Luke and said, "When I was talking to Hermione, she mentioned that there are some interesting plants in the Muggle world. Many of them can be used as drugs. Although it can't be used as a main medicine because it has no magic power. But it should also be able to be used as an auxiliary material with good results."

"I've already started experimenting, and at the moment, it's possible to accomplish this task."

Luke listened to Taylor's words and nodded with satisfaction, it seemed that Taylor had indeed listened to what he had told before. It's good to be able to listen to it.

"You study it first, and when I get home, I'll find you some rare materials and send them over." Snape is a master of potions, and I've probably seen everything in general, so I'll have to look for it."

At this, Luke looked at Taylor as if he had suddenly reacted to something.

Taylor looked a little strange at him, frowned, and touched his face: "What's wrong?"

"You're so lively today." Luke looked Taylor up and down, "The clothes are much prettier, too."

Luke's description is still not accurate enough, after all, Taylor is seriously dressed up today. The previous lack of dressing up was more about worrying that he would passively become the center of the storm. After all, beautiful girls attract a lot of attention wherever they go.

Of course, there is also the meaning of testing Luke as a person. After all, the worse his first impression of her, the more he can see the person's reaction to something he doesn't like.

When faced with what they like, most people are able to be gentle and patient. And when faced with something you don't like, it's a different matter entirely.

It's not uncommon for things you like to be fanatical. And being able to be patient and gentle with what he doesn't like is a person who is worthy of trust in Taylor's eyes.

And after a year of getting along, Luke can be regarded as a preliminary pass. And...... It's okay to have Hermione in school. He didn't know how many beautiful girls he had provoked this summer. ….

Taylor inexplicably felt a sense of crisis. So I decided to leave behind those disguises.

That is, Luke, this guy and Taylor are too familiar. So familiar that you don't pay much attention to Taylor's changes in some small details.

As for the change in personality, it is because of the increase in self-confidence. She had little contact with her peers before. I always suspect that I have such and such shortcomings. But now it looks. Not only is his shortcomings not serious, but he can even be called excellent among his peers. As a result, the appearance of submissiveness also began to change.

"What? I want to dress up too." Taylor said angrily to the sluggish Luke.

Luke, on the other hand, didn't care about Taylor's little temper at all, but seriously touched his chin, "Let's go back to Diagon Alley later." Go buy some clothes and get your hair done."

Luke looked up at Taylor, who was a little shy, and said seriously, "The style of your dress is retro. The hairstyle is also quite ancient. It's not that it's not pretty, it's just that it doesn't match its age."

Taylor's face turned red when he heard this. She said she wanted to dress up, but a twelve-year-old girl knew what to dress up. It was all her grandmother who helped. So it's normal to have a little sense of age, isn't it?

She was a little shy, but Luke didn't take it seriously at all, just silently moving around the room.

Taylor knew it was avoiding some magical traps that looked terrifying. But isn't this home? Even an insecure person like Luke wouldn't have so many traps in his own home!

But at this time, Taylor also reacted, and the things in the room that Luke said before were probably really not so easy to take.

Let's go

Soon, they finally passed through the area.

Luke let out a long sigh of relief, then shook his head and said, "The last time I've been here, I've just been watching from afar and writing down all the traps. After all, some of them need to be cracked directly. I couldn't do it at the time."

Luke has been practicing such a short walk for a long time. Although he could just bring Dumbledore over. But he didn't want to be Dumbledore in the first place, and he was in a hurry to collect Horcruxes now. Second, in the face of something like the Resurrection Stone, Luke didn't know if Dumbledore could stay calm.

Unlike anything else, the Resurrection Stone was definitely one of the things Dumbledore craved.

Although in the books in his previous life, Dumbledore finally used the Resurrection Stone, or he used it, but he understood that the Resurrection Stone was just an illusion.

"You're going to take it...... Is that the ring?"

Taylor pointed to the ring lying quietly on the table, and for a moment lost his mind.

Luke looked over. I saw a beam of light shine through the window and shine on the ring. The dust danced around the black ring like a spirit in a pillar of light. At the top of the ring is a diamond-shaped black gemstone.

That gem looks unremarkable and feels like an ordinary black stone. There is nothing outstanding about it. What really caught Taylor's eye was the ring.

The ring made of gold looks so gorgeous, shining golden in the sun, who can refuse a ring that shines with gold if nothing else? ….

Moreover, Taylor seemed to hear the ring calling to her. It's telling itself the secrets of magic. It's telling itself about the magic of the spell. It's telling itself the truth about the future.

As long as he can get it, as long as he holds it in his own hands, Taylor can become his own savior, and let Luke, the son of prophecy, be his rich young master! Those heavy futures, those heavy ideals are up to her!

The king bears it! The king is burdened! That's right, as long as she can get her hands on that ring, she can become the king of the wizarding world!

…… What a fart!

Taylor suddenly came to her senses, and she gulped for a rough dress. When he came back to his senses, he suddenly realized that he had walked some distance, and if he took a few steps further, he could reach the ring.

"Okay, it's dangerous......

Taylor sighed with some panic.

"Not dangerous. I'm still with you, what's the danger?"

And as she came back to her senses panting, Luke chuckled at her.

He looked at Taylor's nervous and flustered expression, and suddenly felt a little amused.

After all, Taylor usually looks like a pearl of wisdom in his hands. Luke is taken aback by the first meeting, and is not afraid of the danger of his life when he goes head-to-head with Noble. Although she is a little more lively now, she has broken free from this temptation, which already shows that Taylor's ability is far beyond ordinary people.

You know, this is not just a certain ability to seduce. It's the double lure of Horcruxes and resurrection stones. Although Taylor doesn't know what these two things are yet. But Luke knew that it wasn't just a simple sentence to defend against such things.

He stepped forward and reached out to hold Taylor, who was a little weak. Strictly speaking, she wasn't weak, just a little scared.

"What is this?"

Taylor leaned against Luke's body, staring at the ring in front of him. Even now, when he is sober, the ring is still whispering in his ear, and it even has a tendency to get worse.

"It? It's just an ordinary horcrux made into a golden ring with the resurrection stone from one of the three Hallows of Death."

Luke described the two main features of the ring in the tone of a 'ordinary leopard aunt'.

What if it's a young wizard who doesn't know much about black magic and ancient legends? The vast majority of young wizards probably haven't heard of Horcruxes. And there are some Muggle wizards who have not heard of both.

Unfortunately, Taylor has both an in-depth understanding of the dark arts and a certain delve into ancient legends. So she understands what kind of evil magic Horcruxes are. I also know what kind of treasure the legendary resurrection stone is.

"It's really insightful to come out with you." Taylor spoke with a rather mixed feeling, "You gave me the Philosopher's Stone last time. And now you tell me that I can see the pinnacle of the dark arts, and at the same time I can see treasures that only appear in fairy tales."

"Luke, you're amazing."

Luke shrugged, "It's meant to be my family, so I don't think it's magical. You haven't seen or even heard of the reason why the Resurrection Stone appeared, just because it's in our house." ….

Taylor thought Luke was saying something very exciting, but he felt like the guy was just telling the truth.

So the whole person was suffocated. I don't know what to say.

But she came back to her senses and asked, "So what are you going to do?" If it weren't for your ancestors, then there would definitely be nothing nice about you...... No, you can't touch even if it's left behind by your ancestors. Dark magic is very serious about the alienation of an entire soul, let alone a fragment of a soul in a Horcrux."

"The soul inside is not your ancestor, even if it is a pro...... It's impossible for your immediate family to be kind to you. Thou shalt not go over."

Taylor almost didn't control her mouth, and she now felt that she might as well return to her taciturnity. After all, it is not unreasonable to say that you will lose too much.

Luke didn't care about her words, just patted her hand and said in relief, "Rest assured, it's not that scary. I don't have the idea of getting myself in trouble. And this Horcrux doesn't belong to any of my ancestors."

"This is Voldemort's Horcrux."

As soon as these words came out, Taylor's eyes widened again. She stared into Luke's eyes, her face full of disbelief.

But Luke's face was calm, and Taylor understood that Luke wasn't lying to himself.

So, Taylor's eyes flashed with cruelty.

"Just get rid of this thing. Then he doesn't have a chance to resurrect, does he?"

As he spoke, Taylor pulled a small ball from his neckline. It looks like he's ready to throw it out after getting Luke's affirmative answer.

Luke didn't know what Taylor was throwing it at, but being able to hang it in that position basically meant that it was something Taylor was using to save his life. Such a thing can not be used, and it is better not to use it.

"Calm down, no, no."

Luke quickly grabbed Taylor, who noticed Taylor's trembling body and red eyes.

He knew that many people had a grudge against Voldemort. There are too many relatives, friends, parents, children, wizards who have died directly or indirectly at the hands of Voldemort and his Death Eaters. The turmoil initiated by Voldemort greatly weakened the power of the British wizarding world in a real sense. If Dumbledore hadn't been alive, the British wizarding world would have been ridden on the head and by the wizarding world of other countries.

The weak still want rights? Is that impure pure alms of the strong?

But it was also the first time he had seen that the people around him would be so angry, even angry that they wanted to fight for their lives. If Luke says that as long as this thing in front of him is destroyed, then Voldemort will immediately burp completely. But the destruction of this thing will cost Taylor's life.

Then Taylor may blink twice and make a decision.

Tom Noseless Riddle, you're really harmful.

"It didn't work. Tom, that bastard, should have more than one Horcrux."

Luke didn't care about the elegance of the nobility at this time. Although the movements are still gentle and gentlemanly. But the words that popped out of his mouth still carried the meaning of rudeness and presumptuousness.

Taylor's brow furrowed for a moment, and then he quickly regained his composure. ….

Seeing Taylor recover, Luke breathed a sigh of relief, and then let go of the restrictions on Taylor's emotions.

"There is not even one mystery person

A Horcrux?"

Taylor asked, with a complicated expression. She knew very well that each Horcrux represented the loss of an innocent life. Each Horcrux symbolizes the darkest side of the wizarding world.

"More than one." Luke said calmly, "As far as I know, I don't know one. But since there are plurality, then according to Tom's idea, he certainly wouldn't pick a random number. I guess it's probably ......."

"Seven ......"

Taylor's eyes were a little confused, and he said, "Seven is the most magical number. But he failed. His mistake led to another tragedy. The magic number is ruined, and his perfection is broken. Death is near."

The corners of Luke's mouth twitched.

"Daydreaming?"

Luke asked tentatively, and Taylor snapped back to his senses and realized that something was wrong with him. She remembered what she had just done, then shook her head and said, "I don't know, maybe I was stimulated too much today, so even the ability to prophecy is too active."

"Let's not talk about that, what are you going to do with this thing? If the Philosopher's Stone is made into a Horcrux......

"Too high for Tom." Luke said as he reached for his belt, "The Philosopher's Stone itself is at a higher level of existence than a Horcrux. Legend has it that it is a creature of the Grim Reaper. In fact, no one knows, but their power cannot be ignored. Nor can Voldemort contaminate. Even...... I doubt he knew it was a resurrection stone......

"But there's one last thing to do before that."

Taylor's original Luke pulled out a weapon that would destroy the ring. But she didn't expect that Luke would escape with a knife.

The knife was pitch black, and just looking at it from a distance would make people feel deeply uneasy. There is a dark magic surging above.

"It's ......"

Before Taylor could finish his words, Luke had already slid the blade lightly in his hand.

The sharp blade sliced through Luke's hand in an instant. Blood oozed from the wound.

"There's one last protective magic around this ring." Luke clenched his hand as he explained to Taylor, "I looked around and finally knew what this magic meant and how to access it."

As long as it's a magic trap, then there's a trace. Thanks to the fact that one of the ancestors of the family was the pinnacle of magic traps, Luke was able to easily identify most of the magic traps in a house.

The only exception is the one in front of you.

Seriously, it was Dumbledore's tragic situation that reminded Luke of the moment. In his previous life, Dumbledore suffered a lot of heavy blows here, and the whole person has entered the countdown to death. This made Luke cautious when he first came.

All the precautions are done as much as possible. Although the other magic traps were terrifying, in Luke's mind, they should not have been enough to hurt Dumbledore so badly. So Luke made a lot of temptations for this seemingly ordinary area in front of him. ….

Finally, on the table, the last and most powerful magic trap was inscribed.

This trap has allowed the malevolent dark magic energy to eat away at the body.

But Luke didn't find a solution at the time.

In the end, after nearly half a year of futile work, he suddenly understood that if he wanted to remove this magic trap, he was most likely dreaming. Because Dumbledore must have tried, and Dumbledore's results were known to him.

Dumbledore failed to come into contact with this magical trap. Although I don't know if he was attacked because of the backlash after the defeat, or if it was the backlash he received when he forcibly cracked it. But it is basically certain that it is impossible to remove this trap by normal means of contact.

Then we have to start thinking about this magic arrangement.

Eventually, Luke found an interesting looking magic shield from a copy of Advanced Protection Magic. That's used by immediate family members

The magic that protects one's loved ones, it uses blood as a basis, and only people of the same bloodline can enter and exit the protected range.

The conditions for this thing to be applied are actually quite harsh. After all, it can only be used if the opponent is not related to you by blood, and you no longer have any immediate family members who can be controlled by the opponent.

That's why these bells and whistles are rarely used.

A Loyalty Mantra can handle most problems well.

But what really makes Luke interesting is the variation of this thing. That is, the protective magic with the bloodline as the key, but this magic is extremely strong and can fight back independently, the only drawback is that the protection range is fixed......

If it defended an area the size of a house, it was impossible for three or five adult wizards to break through.

If its defense range is a Hogwarts, then a mouse can easily break through this defense.

But...... If its defense range is only something the size of a ring...... Then it would be difficult for Dumbledore to break through it.

And the most interesting thing is that the defense spell can be modified. For example, it is still the bloodline as the key, but the power of the counterattack becomes black magic......

So, without anyone knowing, Luke completed this magic trap in the outer layer of the Room of Requirement.

He finally knew the solution to this magic trap.

"Tom, I didn't expect that." Luke looked at the ring, as well as the inconspicuous traces of magic around the ring, and slowly let go of his hand, "You think you have no relatives anymore, so your treasure can be absolutely safe under the protection of such magic, if anyone wants to touch it, they will have to pay with their lives."

"But, but...... I'm one more variable."

As a drop of blood with a black halo fell onto the table. A huge wave of magical power erupted, pushing everything around it away. Prepared, Luke opened a magical barrier, enveloping himself and Taylor.

Taylor looked around vigilantly as he silently walked behind Luke and stood back to back with him.

"I think I heard something."

Taylor said to Luke with some wariness.

Luke had a smile on his face. He took another small bottle from his pocket and said with a smile, "Because someone already knows what their end is!"

Luke unscrewed the vial, and a sweet scent came out, and Tyler felt a little limp in his limbs.

"No, no, no! Leave me alone! We are blood relatives! I can give you all my knowledge and treasures. I can even make you immortal!"

A terrible howl rang out in Luke's ears. It was the cry of Voldemort's soul in Luke's mind.

He's asking for a way to live.

"It's a pity. I don't like your wretched grandson."

Luke laughed and poured the contents of the vial down.

"No !!!"

This time, even Taylor heard the terrible wail. The gold is melted in a light purple liquid. A black liquid gushed out of the ring for no apparent reason.

It was the last vestiges of the death of a decaying soul.

This represents the demise of a dark soul.

I don't update
