I don't know when the way those seniors spoke became like this.

Dumbledore's note was just a sentence without a beginning or an end, with a phoenix feather added.

As the saying goes, there is no mystery and is not high.

Back then, if the Bodhi Ancestor had directly told Sun Monkey to come to my room tonight, it would have been weird to read it.

But when he changed it to three hits, put his hands behind his back, and closed the middle door, it immediately seemed full of mystery.

It can not only reflect the caution of the Bodhi Patriarch not to pass on the six ears, but also reflect the natural intelligence of the monkey, others can't see it, but he can see it at a glance.

Although Dumbledore's note was only one sentence, the meaning was still obvious.

Zhang Xiao sighed, but crawled out of the quilt again, quickly changed her clothes, and pinched her feathers.

He shouted in a low voice:

"Fawkes!"

I saw that the feather instantly turned into a ball of fire and burned up along the arm.

In the blink of an eye, this flowing fire burned all over the body, but the fire didn't seem to be warm, just gently licking his skin.

The flames suddenly burst out, and instantly shone into dazzling firelight, and when the curtain fell into darkness again, Zhang Xiao's figure had disappeared.

Zhang Xiao shook her head vigorously, trying to sober up her dazed head.

Phoenix's flame teleportation is the first time it has been used.

If you compare it to Phantom Shifter, it's probably the difference between being stuffed into a tube and then squeezed out and firing out of a gun barrel.

Caught off guard, Zhang Xiao even felt that his body had come over, but his soul was still in that warm dormitory.

"Ahh

Zhang Xiao sneezed loudly, it was already the middle of December, and the temperature difference from the quilt directly to the outside made the body protest.

Squinting his eyes and looking around, it was a desolate place, and the trees that had long lost their leaves were only bare branches, stretching out towards the sky.

The moonlight was dim, and there seemed to be nothing but cold wind and stones.

"Zhang, it's good to see you understand what I mean."

Zhang Xiao turned around and saw Dumbledore standing aside with a smile on his face in his winter wizard robes.

"Professor—" Zhang Xiao sighed, "I think that feather of Fawkes has already said it more clearly than anything else." ”

"I thought it would be a little bit more fun."

Dumbledore smiled, looking very good, he walked up to Zhang Xiao and said slowly:

"Actually, I originally wanted to deal with it alone, but after a few things, I felt that since the East has all kinds of magical magic that I have never seen before.

Tom must not have known that there was such a magical existence as you.

That's not our strength.

Ignoring one's own strengths and not using them is probably arrogant."

Zhang Xiao secretly said in her heart that it was dangerous, if she guessed correctly.

The last thing that might have been discovered by Dumbledore should be the Resurrection Stone?

And the Resurrection Stone was one of the main reasons for Dumbledore's death.

It was the irreversible curse that made Dumbledore, whose time was short, decide to make his life part of his plan.

According to the progress in the original books, it would take Dumbledore two years to find the ring, who would have thought that it would be found so soon.

Luckily, I brought myself.

"Professor Dumbledore, how did you find out?"

"Thanks to you, Zhang, it's because you've discovered so many Horcruxes in a row, and I've been able to find some patterns in them.

And then—"

Dumbledore's blue eyes looked at him, and he suddenly winked at him, "With what I know about Tom, I have found a place with a very high possibility." ”

Uh, so or is it because of me?

Dumbledore shook his head in one direction:

"Given the last encounter in the cavern, I thought it might be a good idea to try to get as close to your destination as Muggle as possible.

So I'm afraid we're going to have to go a little bit. ”

Zhang Xiao had nothing to do, so the old and the young abandoned any magic help in this deep dark night wilderness, and walked peacefully towards the unknown destination.

The cold moonlight shone on the surrounding wilderness, and it was so quiet that there was no sound.

It seems that even birds don't want to fly over here.

The journey didn't seem close, as Dumbledore happily answered Zhang Xiao's questions.

"Oh, here?

It's not really a regular route to your destination. ”

Dumbledore's voice sounded pleasant, certainly pleasant, and the Horcruxes that had once restrained him seemed to be more than half of them in the blink of an eye.

"I went ahead of time to explore the way, but when I stood on a country road beside a high, jumble hedge wall.

While enjoying the beautiful scenery of the whole valley and the blue sky and white clouds, I regretted to find that Tom had already started early.

He put a lot of thought into the normal path to his destination.

I have reason to believe that by the time we finally reach our destination, we may be in big trouble. ”

Zhang Xiao nodded in agreement, after experiencing the defenses in the cave, he had already come to find out that Voldemort was not an idiot.

At least not when splitting Horcruxes.

If it weren't for Dumbledore's reminder in the cave, Zhang Xiao would never have imagined that Voldemort would have woven a meticulous and powerful defensive net one by one.

When I read the original book in my previous life, I was complacent and felt that it was a hundred times better than Voldemort's brain, and I came up with a lot of ways to crack it.

But in reality, how could Voldemort not think of the most obvious loopholes.

From beginning to end, Voldemort was actually planted in one thing, and that was to be too conceited.

Whether it's an elf or a little wizard, he never cares, never.

He stubbornly believed that he was too strong to look down at anyone.

So sometimes Voldemort's carefully designed defenses are destroyed by weak elves.

This is also the reason why Dumbledore finally decided to bring Zhang Xiao over.

Don't be too conceited.

"So I decided to take a different route - fortunately, this valley is quite large, and the area that needs to be locked down is too big, and there are always places that Voldemort can't think of.

For example, the direction we are taking now - the wilderness where no one is walking. ”

"No man's wilderness?" Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and asked confusedly:

"Professor, why is it safe to be in a wilderness where no one is around? Just set up an alarm here and trigger it whenever someone breaks in, right? ”

Dumbledore shook his head and said regretfully:

"Zhang, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about large-scale magic—pure large-scale magic is very difficult to last, and it is even more difficult to solidify constancy.

I'm afraid that the previous encounter in the cave made you have such doubts, but if you think about it, what is the main core of defense there?"

"Yin corpses and potions?"

"That's right, if it's still my class, I'll give you 20 points!

Mr. Zhang. There's not a trace of superfluity, it's these two things. ”

Dumbledore nodded approvingly at him.

"If you dig a little deeper, you'll find that the corpses and potions are left alone for a long time.

I don't know if you can understand me when I say that. ”

Zhang Xiao nodded slowly, the professor meant that the larger the range, the shorter the time the spell could last.

The defense system in the cave may seem complex and tight, but the actual core is Yin corpse and potions.

Enchantments are limited to a very small range, and are mostly supportive.

Even Voldemort could not sustain a wide range of spells on his own in this vast wilderness for long.

It would be fine if you sent your men to replenish it every once in a while, but this is Voldemort's Horcrux hideout.

He would never allow this secret to be known.

So it's impossible for people to add to it.

If you follow the order in which Tom is getting more and more lazy.

The first Horcrux to be made was the Diary, and the second Horcrux was Marvolo's Ring, the Resurrection Stone.

The Ravenclaw tiara, the Hufflepuff gold cup, and the Slytherin locket were made at an ominous time, but they were mostly made after Voldemort was 20 years old.

If you look at it this way, maybe the time when you make rings and tiaras will be the peak of Voldemort's mind in this life

Because the further back it goes, the pendant box may be because of the Slytherin relics, and it is still well preserved.

Tiaras, diaries, gold cups and the like didn't pay much attention.

"Ah, Zhang, I now realize that you are right."

Dumbledore's words pulled Zhang Xiao's thoughts back, and in his curious gaze, Dumbledore said happily:

"The more the Horcrux splits, the less like Tom becomes.

Even with my current gaze.

The magic that 16-year-old Tom arranged on the periphery was also extremely wonderful, and people couldn't help but high-five. ”

Dumbledore shook his head, his voice a little emotional:

"The destination we need to go to is Tom's mother's house, called Gaunt's Old House, which belongs to Big Hangleton, just a few miles from Little Hangleton."

Zhang Xiao listened to Dumbledore introduce the information he already knew in his previous life, but he didn't desert, but listened carefully.

"Sixteen-year-old Tom may not be as good as you are now, Zhang, but he is very knowledgeable.

Tom spends almost all of his extra time in the library.

Limited by strength, Tom has a lot of thought to set it up here.

First of all, he assumed that there would be wizards looking for the secret of why the Dark Lord was so powerful."

There are still such narcissistic people in the world, and God is the secret of the Dark Lord's power.

Dumbledore didn't laugh, but said very seriously:

"It's not a joke or a joke, because there are quite a few wizards who have done it.

It's just that none of them have the ability to investigate here, and Tom's true identity. ”

Dumbledore pointed into the distance, slightly regretful.

"Alright, let's move on, Zhang, and I hope you can appreciate Voldemort's cunning and meticulousness.

Instead of underestimating Tom, he is really a genius, and only prudence can help you win the opportunity! ”

Dumbledore strode ahead, his voice flowing over the empty wilderness, and Zhang Xiao walked beside him, boasting over the boulders and fragments of the ruins, and followed Dumbledore.

"His mana is superior to that of the doujin, but he can't support the defensive thoughts of the Falling Earth Demon.

So Tom cleverly made a workaround - he placed some heavy obstacles on a very important section of the road and cast a clever illusion.

This led Muggles to believe that the obstacles were part of the mountain, such as taking a detour.

And this illusion has no effect on the wizard -

So the wizard will clearly see that there is an extra obstacle in the road ahead of him. ”

Dumbledore closed his mouth and suddenly asked:

"Zhang, what do you think a wizard would do?"

"Wave your wand to remove obstacles?" Zhang Xiao spread his hands.

Dumbledore laughed:

"You see, that's why Tom was so different then than he is now.

He took advantage of the wizard's laziness and inertia."

Zhang Xiao sniffed, the Dark Lord's strategy was simple, but it was very practical.

If a tree trunk blocks the way, a lone Muggle will take a detour in a hurry.

But if it was a wizard, he wouldn't hesitate to pull out his wand and move the tree aside.

This is the wizard, a useless trait that was so hard to be clung to by Voldemort.

Zhang Xiao had to admit that compared to Voldemort, who did the rough work in the back.

The 16-year-old Voldemort was 'barely' on par with himself in terms of resourcefulness.

"This is just the first interesting story, and I don't know how much defense Voldemort has put in the village after the climate has become established.

But at this critical juncture, I didn't want to take any chances. ”

Dumbledore ended what he wanted to tell Zhang Xiao with a short sentence.

After walking for a while, Zhang Xiao felt that his body had begun to move slowly, and his hands and feet, which were originally a little stiff because of the cold, began to recover gradually.

Noticing that Zhang Xiao's footsteps began to gradually become brisk, Dumbledore quietly followed suit.

"By the way, Professor, can you tell me how you found this Horcrux?"

Dumbledore stood still and looked into the distance, Zhang Xiao suddenly remembered that there might not be monitoring magic here, so why couldn't he use magic to reach his destination quickly?

But almost immediately, he knew what Dumbledore meant—no one could tell.

Dumbledore's blue eyes narrowed, and he looked at it again for a moment.

"Looks like it's almost there."

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult, Zhang, the Horcruxes we've found are the diary, the Slytherin pendant box, the Ravenclaw crown.

And the locations are very interesting, and as I said, Tom seems to have a very deep obsession with certain things.

It can be an item, it can be a place.

I've been doing my research all this time, and thankfully, I've learned everything.

And got a very critical location. ”

Dumbledore stopped, stepped on top of the boulder, and pointed to a place below that was faint and dark in the moonlight.

"That's Tom's mother's house, the old Gaunt house."
