Chapter 161: Gaunt's Old Mansion
On the second weekend after school started, Dumbledore called Carno and made his way to the old Gaunt mansion through the portkey.
"The Riddle Mansion has not moved, and the old janitor was sent home by me by magic to rest before the holiday, as you requested." Dumbledore laughed and said, "Don't worry, he won't be killed for bumping into Tom." ”
"But Voldemort still got in touch with the priesthood, maybe he killed someone again and made a new Horcrux." Kano was a little irritable, "But now he's elusive, and we can't find his shadow even if we want to snipe." ”
Dumbledore groaned for a moment and said, "Kano, I know you can foresee many things, but many things cannot be changed by us knowing. ”
"Responsibility can speed up our pace, but it can also become a burden for us." Dumbledore patted Kano on the shoulder, "You've done a good job, don't push yourself too hard." ”
Kano sighed, he knew that Dumbledore was speaking good words, but if he heard it, only a saint could do it.
"I'd rather this guy jump out and just try my new conjecture." Carno muttered, and Dumbledore, though he didn't know what he was talking about, didn't ask much.
Tom. Riddle, who calls himself Lord Voldemort, is actually a half-blood wizard.
His mother was named Merope and was from the Gaunt family. The family is a Slytherin descendant and is proud of it. But in order to remain absolutely pure-blooded, they intermarried for generations, and in the end each Gaunt became very violent, stupid, and pompous.
By Merope's generation, Gaunt had long since lost his family fortune and had lost his children, leaving only three of them to live in a dilapidated house in Little Hangleton.
Voldemort's father was a local squire in Little Hangleton, also named Tom. Riddle. He would often ride past the dilapidated cottage of the Gaunt family, and Merope fell in love with him.
Her brother Morfin cast a curse on Old Tom as a result, and the Ministry of Magic officials who came to investigate and unravel the spell were attacked by Mavolo and Morfin, who ended up in Azkaban.
Merope gets her chance to trick old Tom into drinking an aphrodisiac and eloping with him to London.
As time goes on, Merope becomes pregnant, and she can't stand the happiness that comes with the aphrodisiac, wishful thinking that old Tom will still love her after he stops taking the drug.
"We already know that Tom Sr. is back home, Merope died in London due to childbirth, and Tom grew up in a Woo orphanage." Dumbledore shook his head helplessly, pointing to the half-collapsed Gaunt mansion in front of him.
"Wrong start, wrong process, wrong outcome, plus genetic psychosis." Kano sighed as well, "Voldemort really had a standard childhood of a murderer. ”
Dumbledore let out a long sigh, "Let's go, let's go in." ”
Kano raised his wand, and the ruins floated silently, the ruined bricks and decaying furniture swept aside.
Anyway, Voldemort in this place will not come back to check if he is fine, Kano waved his wand sharply, and the magic power hit the fan radiation, and a certain corner of the light flashed, and a red magic spell flew straight towards Kano's face door.
"Armor protection!"
The silver brilliance on Kano's body flowed as insurance, and at the same time, the invisible armor stood up in front of him, barely deflecting the spell.
"Whew, it worked?" Kano looked at the Iron Armor Spell in front of him with some surprise and breathed a sigh of relief.
"You've come this far? It's still early, and your spell level hasn't increased to the limit. Dumbledore instructed, "Do you feel the effect of this spell?" ”
"Coma and memory modification are not fatal." Kano smacked the feeling just now, "The first round is an expulsion type spell, which is reasonable. ”
After all, if someone dies at the door of Gaunt's old mansion, sooner or later it will attract attention.
As Kano approached the corner, the deadly spell began to appear.
Kano had to summon vine walls to resist more and more vicious curses, and various trigger traps also showed their fangs, and Kano was forced into danger.
Dumbledore was always on the sidelines with his Elder Wand, ready to help Kano if he couldn't hold it anymore.
"To me, Horcruxes are not as dangerous as these traps." Kano wiped his sweat and said.
Dumbledore withdrew his wand into his arms and said, "Indeed, you have no desire for the Resurrection Stone, and the allure of the Horcrux itself is not strong for you. ”
"You got it?" Kano looked at him in surprise.
"Ever since you didn't let me come to the old Gaunt mansion alone to get the Horcruxes, I've been curious." Dumbledore laughed, "The smarter people are, the more likely they are to be curious, and I happen to be very smart. ”
"Add to that the memory I got from Ogden, and I immediately guessed what was set in Gaunt's ring."
"The Resurrection Stone, the creation of the three Peverell brothers, is something that can bring plausible necromancers back to the world."
Resurrection Stones don't really resurrect the dead, but is that important for users who use Resurrection Stones?
A lot of times, people don't need to be "real" because real things are often cruel. On the contrary, "virtual" things are more beautiful, at least they can give people a little comfort in their hearts, even if they are false, or they are addicted to them.
The second of the three Peverell brothers, the second who holds the Resurrection Stone, committed suicide in pursuit of this false happiness.
"How did you endure it?" Kano couldn't help but ask.
Dumbledore smiled and pointed to his temple, "I knew I couldn't help it, so I threw this memory in the meditation basin and only got it back this morning." ”
Kano was silent for a moment, then stepped forward to open the locket and took out the Gaunt ring inside.
Dumbledore covered his face hard, tears streaming from his fingers, and the Horcrux ring seemed to awaken his saddest past.
Kano's hands glowed with silver, and as he concentrated his will, his mana began to drain rapidly.
This time, there is no need to solve the cow, just destroy it violently.
In the glorious silver brilliance, the Gaunt Ring let out a terrible explosion, and an evil soul was wiped out.
The body of the ring was reduced to powder by the silver magic, and only the resurrection stone that served as the face of the ring remained in Kano's hand.
He handed the Resurrection Stone to Dumbledore, who took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
A heavy twilight emanated from him, more terrible than the grief just now, like an instant explosion of exhaustion accumulated for a hundred years.
Dumbledore opened and closed his eyes several times, and finally trembled and shoved the Resurrection Stone into Kano's hand.
"Give it to me when you win."
"Headmaster!" Kano couldn't help but speak, "It's really not good, let's just meet." ”
Dumbledore shook his head with a wry smile and strode as if he were fleeing, before finally snapping and vanishing beyond the ruins.
Kano sighed as he looked at the Resurrection Stone stained with Dumbledore's tears in his palm.
