Chapter 316 The King Meets the King

"I'm sorry, but I can't reveal the location of the Order of the Phoenix for now." Dumbledore looked at Quirrell with calm eyes.

"Understandable." Quirrell was also calm.

All the members of the Order of the Phoenix who came to assemble hid their faces in their cloaks, but Quirrell did not feel disrespected by this. Instead, he smiled with relief.

"Dumbledore, I hope the people here don't treat me as a teammate. If necessary, you can make me a target to attract enemy fire."

Dumbledore was silent for a while. He looked carefully into Quirrell's eyes, and there was not the slightest wavering in them.

"I will, Professor Quirrell."

"Well, let me start." Quirrell took out the map he had drawn in advance and spread it on the ground, pointing his finger at the red cross mark and said:

"The locations of the You-Know-Who's several Horcruxes."

"Ravenclaw's Crown of Wisdom. This is the Horcrux used by the You-Know-Who to revive. Now with his resurrection, this Horcrux has been destroyed."

"The current professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts is named Tom Riddle. I guess he was resurrected using the Horcrux of the You-Know-Who diary."

"Because this is the only diary that uses the mysterious man's real name."

"Besides, considering the time when the Prisoner of Azkaban escaped, their loyalty should be to Mr. Tom Riddle, not You-Know-Who."

"And one of the Horcruxes, the Hedgepuff Cup, is believed to be in the hands of Mr. Riddle's servant, Bellatrix Lestrange."

"Then there are only two Horcruxes that are easier for You-Know-Who to obtain—"

"The Gaunt family ring is in the old house of the Gaunt family."

"Slytherin's pendant box is in a cave on this island. It contains many traps set by a mysterious person."

Dumbledore rubbed his brow.

The three Horcruxes are all relics of the founder of Hogwarts.

Except for the Sword of Gryffindor, all of them were destroyed by Voldemort.

Is Voldemort the nemesis of Hogwarts, or will it be Gryffindor who will be able to defeat Voldemort in the future?

Dumbledore shook off the ridiculous thoughts in his mind and focused on the information Quirrell had told him.

"If the You-Know-Who gets these two Horcruxes, he will definitely devour them immediately to gain power." Quirrell continued:
"I don't think he would have anyone he trusted to help him go to a place to retrieve the Horcrux, even if it was the fickle Lucius Malfoy, even if the life of his only son was in danger."

"So," Dumbledore said in a deep voice, "we must split into two groups, one to Gaunt's house, and the other to the mysterious cave, right?"

"Yes."

"Which way do you think is the most dangerous, then, Professor Quirrell?" Dumbledore asked, still looking into Quirrell's eyes.

"Gaunt's old house," Quirrell answered quickly, and then immediately added: "You-Know-Who is very confident about the layout of the cave."

“Without sacrificing human lives to trigger the mechanism, no one can get through there quickly, not even him.”

"So, his first choice will be the ring of the Gaunt family." Quirrell finally said with certainty.

"Okay." Dumbledore retracted his gaze, looked at Snape, and said, "Severus, take half of the people to the cave in the center of the island."

"Just explore. If you meet the mysterious man, do not fight him. Use the portkey to come to me immediately." Dumbledore handed Snape an exquisite blue crystal pendant.

"Don't be impulsive, Severus. You-Know-Who has more than one life, but we don't have a second life."

Snape clenched the pendant and nodded seriously.

He also has to take care of Lily's children and absolutely cannot collapse because of personal emotions.

"The spell is: cockroach-flavored chocolate chips."

Snape's mouth twitched.

The secrecy surrounding the spell was indeed high, but he made no comment on Dumbledore's taste.

"Harry, grab my wizard robe." Dumbledore took out his wand and put his hand on Quirrell. "The rest of you follow me. We will gather in front of Gaunt's house in a quarter of an hour." Harry grabbed Dumbledore's clothes, turned back and smiled at Snape, and said, "Mr. Snape, this time when I go back, I want to learn potions from you."

Snape's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "My requirements will be very strict, you must be prepared."

"Of course. I hope you can get used to calling me Harry while you're coaching me."

Snape's eyes fluctuated more violently.

"Okay, we have to go." Without waiting for Snape to speak, Dumbledore took Harry and Quirrell and disappeared into the space vortex.

A quarter of an hour later, Dumbledore stood in front of a dilapidated mansion.

This once-prominent mansion is now covered with only moss and nettles.

Dumbledore looked at the dead snake nailed to the door of the house and sighed silently.

The last descendant of Slytherin who inherited his will was the You-Know-Who, and even a fragment of him had already deviated from the pure-blood theory.

After all, the history of wizards still needs to be written by the majority.

Voldemort, your end is already determined, just like this old house on the verge of collapse.

"Someone is coming." Harry suddenly said, and the members of the Order of the Phoenix following Dumbledore all took alert postures.

In the clear blue sky, a black dot appeared without warning, and then turned into a stream of smoke with a long black tail, falling straight towards the old house of Gaunt.

Immediately afterwards, streams of black smoke appeared in the air one after another.

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and raised his wand, "Everyone, pay attention! He's coming!"

"Avada Kedavra!"

Dumbledore shuddered and looked back in disbelief.

A pure green light, like the first willow branch sprouting in spring, gracefully embraces the sky.

However, the Liuyans avoid this kind of "gentleness" like the plague.

The black smoke group, which had originally been in neat formation, became panicked and began to flee in all directions.

But the green light was too fast and a stream of smoke was hit directly.

Then, the smoke dissipated, and a human corpse covered in a black robe fell down.

"Harry!" Dumbledore's voice suddenly became sharp. His expression became angry for the first time, and his glasses were almost pushed up to his eyebrows by his rising cheek flesh.

"Principal, is there any problem?" Harry blinked and calmly dropped his wand to the ground.

As the members of the Order of the Phoenix were on guard, scrutinizing eyes fell on Harry from behind their cloaks.

"What's the problem? Harry, I remember I taught you that the Killing Curse cannot be used casually. It will erode your spirit!" Quirrell walked to Dumbledore and said sternly.

"There's more." A sound like the breath of a snake mixed with the friction of a knife blade suddenly sounded.

The black smoke in the sky has fallen to the ground. A feminine and handsome young man walked out of the black smoke, followed by black-robed wizards.

The young man had a pair of snake-like eyes and looked very similar to Tom Riddle, the current Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts, almost exactly the same.

"One more thing, only I and my subordinates know how to use the Killing Curse, Harry."

"If the Ministry knew you used this, they would automatically put you on my side."

"So, do you want to join? I can give you a position second only to me and above everyone else."

The young Voldemort showed a beautiful and dangerous smile. He looked at Harry with great expectation in his eyes.

"Of course not." Harry returned a nice and friendly smile and said, "I don't like the species of stray dogs very much."

Voldemort's smile disappeared.

　No, I'll get up early to go to work tomorrow
