The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 333 Search
"Don't be so nervous." Professor Dumbledore conjured a cup of black tea and a chair with his wand, and then signaled to Ryan: "Sit down and have a cup of tea. Professor Moody praised you no less than many Aurors just now, so I just remembered to ask you to come over and help us with something."

Ryan didn't speak at this time, but just listened quietly holding his teacup.Soon Dumbledore asked the question he wanted to ask: "Do you know Horcruxes?"

"I know part of it." Ryan looked at Dumbledore and said, "Alchemy has this aspect. In alchemy, Horcruxes are classified as part of human body alchemy."

"Oh? Now that you know about Horcruxes, would you like to tell us your views on Horcruxes?" Dumbledore looked a little interested, sitting there with his body slightly bent forward and looking at Ryan.

"Well, how should I put it—" Ryan thought for a while and said, "I feel like I'm losing the big deal. This is the simplest way to live forever that I know, but it has too many flaws. If it were me, I'd rather get the Rosary Fragment."

"So you don't think making Horcruxes is a good way?" Dumbledore ignored the part he didn't understand, but asked about Horcruxes.

"Yes, unless the person is desperate or there is really no other way at hand. Otherwise, any other way is better than this way." Ryan pretended to know nothing about something, but Dumbledore quickly Just talked about it.

"Then what if I told you that Voldemort used this method to try to live forever?" Under the half-moon glasses, Dumbledore's blue eyes shone like a mischievous light.

"Isn't he pure blood? As far as I know, he has always claimed that he is a descendant of Slytherin and advocated the interests of pure blood. It is impossible not to know the problem." Ryan made a surprised expression.

"Unfortunately, for various reasons, he didn't know the possible problems. Well, let's not talk about this for now. I'm looking for you today because I probably determined the location of a Voldemort's Horcrux, and I need you to work with me I'll solve it."

Is this considered to be a nomination certificate?But Ryan didn't resent it.In addition, knowing that Voldemort has Horcruxes, it is reasonable to take advantage of Voldemort's current poor condition to destroy some Horcruxes.

As for why Lao Deng called Ryan, it is understandable. In Lao Deng's eyes, Ryan's level is almost the same as that of an adult wizard.It is also understandable to call a professional alchemist in order to crack Voldemort's magical mechanism.You must know that Dumbledore is a complete pragmatist, he will choose the best plan among various plans.

And for Dumbledore, nurturing newcomers is also very important, after all, he is over 100 years old.Given that Harry Potter's level is not enough for the time being, it is completely understandable for Dumbledore to find a student with sufficient level and a good relationship with Harry to complete this task for safety reasons.

As for why he faced Voldemort's Horcruxes alone in the original text, it can only be said that he was a little too confident at the time.And after the first battle of the Ministry of Magic, he felt a lot of pressure after the first battle with Voldemort. It is understandable that things are a little chaotic under such circumstances.

Now the diary inside the Horcrux has been destroyed, as has the crown.All that's left is the locket in Sirius' house, the Hufflepuff's gold cup possibly in the Gringotts vault, the ring in Gaunt's old house, Nagini, and the accidentally created Haribo special.

Judging from the existing information, the destruction of a Horcrux mentioned by Dumbledore today is definitely not Harry Potter, and the possibility of Nagini is not very high, because Harry will be at the end and Nagini you Lao Deng may not know about this freshly baked Horcrux.For the rest, it is estimated to choose one of the gold cup ring and the locket. Now I don't know which one Dumbledore knows.

"If everyone is ready, I think we can prepare for today's itinerary." Dumbledore said with a smile, then beckoned the phoenix Fawkes on the shelf to fly down and asked everyone to lightly grab Fawkes's tail. After everything was ready, Apparation was activated.

It can only be said that the experience of this way of moving is really bad. After another experience of stuffing people into the pipe and then typing them out, they stood on a country road with tall hedges with tangled branches and leaves on both sides. It is the sky in late spring, clear and blue like forget-me-not flowers.

"Where is this, Dumbledore?" Professor Moody asked directly.As Dumbledore's old buddy, he would naturally open his mouth to ask when he was unclear.

"I came here once a long time ago, and I almost forgot about this place. Fortunately, I didn't fall directly into the river." When Dumbledore said this, the Phoenix Fox next to him yelled twice, as if Protest against professor belittling.

"Well, Fox, you never lead the wrong way." Speaking of which, Professor Dumbledore touched Fox and said to Moody. "This is the hometown of Voldemort's mother. I think he hid a Horcrux here."

After hearing this sentence, Ryan looked around, only to find that there were only hedges here, and he could not see the surrounding situation at all.However, after walking a few steps with Professor Dumbledore, they turned left along the road, and it suddenly became clear: a valley appeared in front of them at a glance.In the valley there was a small village nestled between two steep slopes, with a church and cemetery clearly visible.

On the hillside opposite the valley, there is a big dilapidated house.Several windows of the house were sealed, the tiles on the roof were incomplete, and creepers crawled all over the house with their teeth and claws.It looks damp and desolate, as if no one lives there all year round.

This is Little Hangleton Village, and the big house opposite should be the Riddle House.It was there that young Voldemort did what Arthas did.After glancing at the famous ruins, Ryan followed Dumbledore's footsteps.

They didn't enter the village after walking a steep downhill. Dumbledore magically moved a hedge to a space of one person's height, and then motioned for everyone to pass through here.

Compared with the road just now, the road now is worse, not even a road.They waded through knee-high grass, led by Dumbledore.The ground under the grass was uneven, full of potholes and rocks.Ryan took the initiative to help Moody who was handicapped, but Moody did not refuse the offer.

Finally they came to a grove, Dumbledore stopped and drew out his wand. "I think everyone on the road below must remain vigilant and be prepared to go to war at any time."

Ryan pulled out his wand, and with the other hand he pulled out Gryffindor's dagger from the space bag on his waist.

"It's a good thing to be prepared for hand-to-hand combat in such a cramped place," Moody said. "I had a good dagger when I was young, and I was good at using less wizard-like weapons in tight places, and it was fine. Until I got a jinx on my knee—"

Amidst Moody's voice, several people stepped into the forest.Fortunately, there is nothing messy in the forest, only a dilapidated house.

The dilapidation of this house was far beyond imagination, and Ryan didn't even see that it was a house at first glance.The roof of the house has collapsed, and there are only a few holes in the windows.All kinds of plants growing around even block the whole house.In addition, thick moss grows on the stone walls. If you don't look carefully, you may think it is a small slope.

"Well, I think we're here," said Professor Dumbledore, walking up to the wreckage of the house.
