Zhang Xiao always felt that Dumbledore had a strange confidence in Tom Riddle.

That is, Tom would never use the same idea to arrange the defenses of a Horcrux, and in fact it was.

Voldemort used the most complete protection for Slytherin relics, but the gold cups and tiaras, as well as the diary, were much more casual.

As for the Resurrection Stone (Marvolo's ring), there is no mention of any protection in the original books of the previous life, but it was the Resurrection Stone that caused Dumbledorema to stumble.

It is conceivable that the defenses here will definitely not be weaker than in the caves.

As for what kind of defense it is, we will soon see.

Dumbledore whispered:

"Zhang, do you see anything unusual with your eyes?"

Long before Dumbledore asked, Zhang Xiao's eyes had already widened, staring carefully at every corner around him.

It's just that everything here is very normal, so normal that it's a little abnormal, as if the malice I felt outside before was an illusion.

In the eyes of the Dharma, everything here was as bright as day, and the partition shelves against the wall were rotten, and there were still a few clay pots leaning crookedly against it.

Next to the shelf is a low stool, and the wall against which the stool rests has a black mark, which at first glance looks a bit like a human shape.

Is it supposed to be someone who sits on that stool and leans against the wall all year round?

"Professor, I didn't find anything."

A mysterious smile appeared on Dumbledore's face:

"Really?"

Could it be that Dumbledore has already found a clue?

Sure enough, the gap between me and the big guy is still outrageous

"I didn't find anything either."

ZHANG Xiao:.

Dumbledore's tone was pleasant:

"I didn't find anything, but it gave me more confidence in this place."

Yes? What is the rationale for this?

Before Zhang Xiao could figure it out, Dumbledore had already raised his wand, and just lifted it, as if he had pulled a brilliant ribbon of light from the void.

Then, with a wave of this, the ribbon of light became a web of rays, and then rapidly expanded to enclose the entire old mansion.

The whole hall was like a dream, full of soft streamers and misty colors.

Zhang Xiao looked at the scenery in front of him in amazement, only felt the magic of magic, and he had been studying hard for three years, as if he was still at the original point and had never set off.

Do whatever you want without going overboard!

This was the only thought that Zhang Xiao had when he looked at Dumbledore at this moment.

He wondered if the curse he had comprehended would be like Dumbledore at the end of the day.

Everything you do is magic?

Dumbledore's long eyebrows were raised, this was the first time he had shown such a surprised look in front of Zhang Xiao.

An illusory door suddenly faintly showed its outline in front of nothingness.

Hell, how did you find out!

Zhang Xiao didn't believe in evil and opened his eyes again, not only that, but he also secretly rubbed and hooked up the empty mirror.

Even so, in his Dharma eyes, there was still nothingness, as if the door did not exist!

This is the first time that there is a situation where the Dharma eye cannot see it, but it can be seen with the naked eye

According to what my father said, what can be seen with the naked eye may be false, but what the Dharma eye sees is true.

So what's going on now?

False truth?

It is both false and true, so there will be a situation where what is seen is true but can be seen with the naked eye?

Dumbledore walked briskly, his old face focused on it, his long, crooked hooked nose about to touch the illusory door.

His long fingers gently stroked the illusory door, and murmured:

"Incredible, such a brilliant imagination"

Dumbledore turned his head, his face full of admiration, as if he had taken this place as a classroom, and sighed:

"Zhang, do you remember the cave we went to?"

Zhang Xiao nodded: "Of course I remember, professor!" ”

Dumbledore let out a long breath, "Do you know how disappointed I was when I saw the stone door?

The stone door may have been very skillful in magic, but it was like a dead thing, and all that was left was insidious and cunning.

So I'm very disappointed."

Dumbledore looked back at the illusory door again, but the admiration in his eyes could not be concealed:

"But this one is different. It's completely different."

Zhang Xiao swallowed a mouthful of spit, he understood what Dumbledore meant, probably because the craftsmanship on the side of the stone door was too heavy, although the skills were extremely clever, but there was no soul.

And the design here is full of spirituality, even to the point that Dumbledore can't help but sigh.

It can be seen that Dumbledore is really excited, and without waiting for Zhang Xiao to ask, he is like a teacher who preaches and solves doubts, and continues to talk endlessly.

This door once again proves the theory of the East, Zhang, sixteen-year-old Tom split the soul twice, but the innate talent remains, and even overflows visibly to the naked eye.

Just like you—no matter what, you can't hide your light beyond the ordinary. ”

(Zhang Xiao's face began to red)

"But when he got to the cave, Voldemort split his soul more than five times, which was indeed a serious mental damage, although his strength grew by leaps and bounds, and his skills matured day by day.

But that-"

"Spirituality?" Zhang Xiao whispered.

"Yes, spiritually, very aptly!" Dumbledore nodded, his interest growing, "But that innate spirituality is gone.

I'm sure after 18-year-old Tom laid out an initial door, Voldemort came many times later.

Oh - yes, I can see - see, patch marks, once, twice, three times-

He came three times!

But it's just patching, just plugging up the loopholes that were previously created due to lack of strength! ”

Dumbledore turned around, his blue eyes shining, and looked at Zhang Xiao, his voice suddenly softened:

"Zhang, do you know what that means?"

Without waiting for Zhang Xiao to answer, he asked himself again.

This shows that he did that great thing, and he thought he was standing at the peak, but standing here, looking at his former self, he admitted that he was not as good as he was at the beginning!

Tom, 50, is standing here, and all he sees is the shadow of an 18-year-old.

The lost self, from the moment he took that path, there was no going back! ”

When Dumbledore finished, the dilapidated Gaunt mansion fell silent.

Neither of them spoke, but just stood there, looking at the door with a slight expression.

Suddenly, Dumbledore's voice sounded softly in Zhang Xiao's ears again:

"Zhang, come on, 14-year-old you, just as good!"

Zhang Xiao glanced at the old man and wanted to say something, but in the end he only turned into a gentle 'um'.

"Professor, there should be a Horcrux hidden in this door, so how do we open it?"

Dumbledore shook his head, took another step forward, and placed his palm open against the illusory door of light.

His eyes closed slightly, and Zhang Xiao noticed that the principal's hand suddenly flashed with the same illusory light.

After a while, Dumbledore whispered:

"Tom didn't design this to be opened, so we'll have to decipher it from the basics of magic."

He paused, and uttered a phrase like a riddle:

"The place of concealment shall not appear day or night, and the dweller of this place shall have eternal sleep."
