When Harley opened the door in a parseltongue again, the two cautiously walked inside.

It's no longer a small room, but a huge temple with the Traceless Stretching Spell.

Seven towering stone pillars form a circle, and where the eighth pillar should have been, a door to the outside world is placed.

There were a large number of torches hanging from the ceiling, and there was no movement inside.

But the moment the two of them stepped into the hall, the torches suddenly emitted magical fluctuations, and the dark green flames ignited one after another.

In the center of the rotunda is a tall altar made entirely of gold and adorned with emeralds, with a series of steps facing the door.

The emeralds, like the emeralds on the Slytherin locket, were fashioned into snake-shaped "S".

Harley couldn't help but wonder how much Death Eater and Muggle property Voldemort had looted to create such an extravagant altar.

In the center of the altar, a crystal pillar was erected.

The middle of the crystal pillar exudes a turquoise luster, and at the very top of it is a transparent crystal box.

It is clear through the box that it contains a ring made of gold with black gemstones.

On the black gem, the lines that symbolize the Peverell family are unusually clear, and they seem to have been re-polished by magic.

"What a luxury, Voldemort's Horcrux is treated completely differently from the Slytherin locket."

Harley teased softly, but received no response from Professor Dumbledore.

At the same time, she suddenly noticed that Professor Dumbledore's breathing in front of her had become very pronounced and rapid.

Harley took a cautious step to the side, tilting her head to look at Professor Dumbledore.

At this moment, Professor Dumbledore was staring at the black gem ring at the top of the altar, and the indifferent smile that hung on his face disappeared.

In its place is a ...... that cannot be described in words. Fever and joy!

He's laughing, laughing unbridledly, with a smile on his face that he's about to reach his goal in life!

But he was also crying, and there were tears in the corners of Professor Dumbledore's eyes, dripping on the ground with a crisp sound.

"Resurrection Stone, really Resurrection Stone!" As if unable to control himself, Professor Dumbledore reached forward and grabbed something in the void,

"Wait for me, Ariana, wait for me, I will resurrect you in no time......"

Professor Dumbledore rushed over in a posture that was not appropriate for his age, not even observing if there was any danger ahead.

Hallie's face changed instantly, her long hair and spider silk spread at the same time, and she wanted to drag the old man back, or at least stop it.

At the same time she shouted, "Professor, come back!" There is definitely danger ahead! ”

But Professor Dumbledore turned a deaf ear and continued to walk.

As the silk and hair approached him, Professor Dumbledore drew his wand.

Golden flames erupted from his wand and encircled Professor Dumbledore.

The spider silk was instantly incinerated into dust by the flames, and the hair did not dare to come closer.

But this one-second delay was enough, and Harry, with the agility of an assassin, was in front of Professor Dumbledore in an instant.

"Get out of the way, Hallie!" Professor Dumbledore's voice was extremely hurried, "Don't stop me! ”

"Professor, we haven't studied the Round Altar yet." Hallie shook her head and retorted loudly,

"There may be an unknown risk up there, you can't go close, you can't take such a risk."

"Not to mention it's Voldemort's Horcrux, Professor."

"I don't know what the Resurrection Stone in your mouth really looks like, or that the Resurrection Stone really has the same effect as its name, and you can use it to resurrect someone."

"But Professor, don't forget, we're here to find and destroy Horcruxes."

"There's a good chance that the Resurrection Stone has been tainted by Voldemort's soul and has lost its efficacy."

As she spoke, the black flames in Harry's hair began to jump, seemingly ready to attack the Horcrux at any moment.

But Professor Dumbledore was unmoved by Harry's reminder, and his eyes were even a little sharper:

"Impossible, there must be a chance, definitely!"

"And I can use it first, and it's not too late to destroy it later!"

"Professor!" Hallie's voice was even higher, "There's no way Voldemort didn't mess around the Horcrux!" ”

"Think Sirius' brother Regulus! Think of your life, and your duties as Headmaster of Hogwarts! ”

"Hallie, you don't understand, you're still young, you can't understand."

Professor Dumbledore's voice suddenly became less firm, and could even be said to have become a little weak,

"For me, life doesn't matter, and death isn't scary."

"I will not be afraid of Tom's curse. No matter what the price is paid, it is all deserved for me, and it is I am paying for the sins I have committed! ”

"And even if something happens to me, you can destroy the Horcrux for me, and one of the nemesis of the Horcrux is the basilisk's venom."

"Minerva has been the Deputy Headmaster for a long time, and she has enough experience to run Hogwarts!"

"As for my death, it is as it should be. I deserved to die! ”

"Now please get out of the way, I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

Professor Dumbledore spoke very quickly, and his coherence and logic remained clear.

He held his slender wand in his hand, and there was a powerful magic brewing on it.

"Looks like I have to wake you up, Professor Dumbledore." Hallie suddenly laughed, "Professor, you probably can't imagine how strong I am right now. ”

"Kid, I know you're strong." Professor Dumbledore's voice suddenly became calm, "Every time you sneak into the forbidden area, I can monitor it. ”

"Phineas also told me that you spent the Easter holidays reading in the Black family's library and learning a lot of powerful magic."

"But I want to tell you that the gap between your and my strength can't be smoothed overnight, it takes years to accumulate."

Before he could finish speaking, the golden-red flames surrounding Professor Dumbledore suddenly erupted, forming a fiery phoenix behind him.

"One last warning, Hallie, get out of the way!" Professor Dumbledore's eyes became firm again, and there was no emotion in his voice,

"If you don't get out of the way, then I'll have to knock you out and then go and take off the ring."

"Then let's try it!" Harley was laughing, but she was annoyed.

Who is the Ariana that this old man is going to resurrect? His old lover? Otherwise, how could he be so persistent and even lose his brain?

Black flames and icy spears coalesced and swirled behind Harry's back.

At the same time, the ground was rapidly frozen, and the ice was white and flawless, reflecting the light, like a mirror.

Professor Dumbledore didn't answer again, just flicked his wand.

A large ball of flame instantly erupted from the phoenix's mouth, and the flames condensed into ropes in mid-air, trying to restrain Harry.

At the same time, the Flame Phoenix itself soared into the air and threw itself towards the altar, in a vain attempt to take the ring over from the air.

But Harley took half a step forward, then melted into the mirror and vanished.

At the same time, a large amount of invisible spider silk spread through the air, rolling directly around Professor Dumbledore.

The black flames and ice spears that had been hovering behind Harry's back blasted towards the phoenix in mid-air, trying to disperse it.

Professor Dumbledore walked on, his wand tip spitting out new golden-red flames that kept the silk out.

However, the flame phoenix he hastily condensed was also frozen by the ice spear, and then blasted into fireworks in mid-air by the black flames.

A flash of light flashed through the mirror, and Harry's figure appeared from a spot in the ice where the spark landed, and black flames flowed from her body.

Professor Dumbledore pursed his lips, still silent, his wand continuing to stir up and down.

The wind howled in the hall, and the golden flames rose again.

The two are entangled, and the weather spell and Professor Dumbledore's original fire magic combine perfectly to form a fire tornado!

However, the temperature of the flame itself was not too high, and it was clear that Professor Dumbledore had deliberately reduced its power.

The fire tornado roared, speeding towards Harry.

Before Harley could react, the fire tornado engulfed it and sealed it in the center of the tornado like a prison cell.

"I'm sorry, Hallie." Professor Dumbledore whispered, "I'm really sorry. ”

"Professor, you don't have to feel sorry, but I should say I'm sorry."

Harry's voice suddenly rang out from behind Professor Dumbledore, accompanied by a terrible scream.

A faint blue aura instantly emerged from behind Professor Dumbledore, turning the old man into an ice sculpture.

Of course, after returning to the demigods, Harley's control of the "Ice World" has once again greatly improved.

So she just formed a layer of cold ice outside Professor Dumbledore's body, and the cold air would not invade the old man's body at all.

The "Harley" who was engulfed by the flame tornado earlier is just an image created by Harley using "mirror illusion"!

Harry, on the other hand, used the mirror plane to shuttle, hid in the mirror space inside the ice, and quickly came behind Professor Dumbledore and launched the ice world.

Endless spider silk instantly enveloped the ice sculpture, and black flames spread on it, causing the ice sculpture to melt in less than a minute.

Professor Dumbledore was then wrapped in a large cocoon, revealing only one head.

"Professor, I'm so sorry I can't let you take the risk." Hallie bowed slightly.

"Well done, Hallie." Professor Dumbledore's voice was a little praised, "You're almost going to beat me." ”

"I don't think any of the Aurors in the Ministry of Magic can beat you."

"Almost?" Hallie asked subconsciously.

"yes, almost." Professor Dumbledore whispered, "Why do you think people are afraid of Voldemort?" ”

"They didn't know that Voldemort had Horcruxes, and that he was immortal until they were destroyed."

"Then according to common sense, Voldemort is also a human, and wouldn't it be true that a large number of Aurors can also kill him by using a life-requiring charm?"

"So Why, Professor?" Harley followed the old man's words and asked.

"Because whether it's me, or him, or some powerful wizard who once roamed Europe,"

"Our understanding in a certain field or several fields is almost at the level of rules."

Professor Dumbledore's voice grew kinder,

"For example, I have established myself in the field of life and transfiguration, and Voldemort has my own unique understanding in the field of death."

"Hallie, let me teach you a lesson today."

"Let me teach you why we are the best wizards."

As he spoke, Professor Dumbledore's body erupted with golden-red flames, engulfing his entire body.

In the flames, a golden-red phoenix appeared, but Harley clearly recognized that this was not Fawkes.

This is Professor Dumbledore!

Harley suddenly remembered Professor Dumbledore's inquiry about his mythical biomorphic Patronus on Halloween night.

He solemnly reminded himself at the time that if he wanted to learn from Animagus, he must be cautious.

And Harley remembered that Professor Dumbledore's patronus was the Phoenix.

"Get out of the way, kid, please don't stop me." Professor Dumbledore spoke, his voice still in his other form.

However, it seems that because of the influence of the phoenix itself, Professor Dumbledore's voice has an inexplicable magnetism.

Harley didn't back down, still standing calmly.

She carefully looked at the phoenix in front of her, which was still a little different from the mythical creature form that would be obtained from the sequence path to sequence four.

Ordinary people face the mythical bioform of the Sequence Pathway Extraordinary, and their spirits will be severely polluted and harmed.

Of course, if you are lucky enough to get through it, you can also gain a certain amount of knowledge.

There are many believers in evil gods who accidentally communicate with the evil gods through prayers, and look directly at the evil gods, and they themselves are not crazy, and finally gain strength.

But it's right to think about it, the wizard itself is the product of an extremely stable combination formed by the extraordinary characteristics of more than a dozen sequence pathways.

Its upper limit is only at the demigod level, and it is normal for mythical creatures to be a little weaker.

"Is this your hole card, Professor Dumbledore?" Harley whispered, pulling a pair of glasses out of her pocket and gently putting them on.

The sheer hints that Harley had planted in her mind took effect, and a green glow flowed around her body, with dense mystical patterns and dark and strange colors highlighted.

Hallie's figure also vanished in place, replaced by a snake-tailed woman.

Harley's black hair had also turned into dark green snake hair, and she was surrounded by a large amount of spider silk.

Hallie reveals her mythical creature, the legendary Medusa!

"I'm so sorry, Professor." Hallie's voice was crisp and pleasant, "Maybe you won't be able to pass this level." ”
