Chapter 331： Old house

The sky in late spring was clear and cloudless, and the sunlight brought warmth to the earth. However, these were not felt in the woods outside the village of Little Hungerton, and the ancient trees cast a chilly dark thick shadow. Ryan standing in the woods shuddered involuntarily.

"Don't be nervous, you should believe me and Professor Moody." Dumbledore said in a gentle tone.

"It's okay, I just suddenly went into the shade and felt a little cold. By the way, professor, where is this place?"

"This is the old mansion of the Gunter family. They claim to be direct descendants of Slytherin. Voldemort's mother was born here. His so-called Slytherin blood is also from this family." Dumbledore explained.

"Descendants of Slytherin? But this—" Lane said incredulously, pointing to the shack in front of him. After all, it was one thing to know, and another thing to see with his own eyes. Looking at the shack in front of him, he could hardly associate this with Slytherin's name.

"But that's the fact." Dumbledore said slowly. "The Gunter family is a very old wizarding family, known for their restlessness and violence. Because they are used to getting married by close relatives, this personality trait is more pronounced from generation to generation. They lack rationality, and they especially like luxurious pomp, Therefore, long before Voldemort ’s grandfather had many generations, the family ’s property was squandered, and in the end it could only be reduced to this point. ”

This proves that no matter whether it is magic or not, the problem of marriage of close relatives is revealed, but these problems are exposed more slowly when there is magic.

"Okay, let's clean up here first, Ryan. You can see if there is anything unusual." After that, Professor Dumbledore began to wave his wand to clear the collapsed roof. Ryan took out his portable alchemy array and a large collection of bottles and jars to look for signs of magic around him. Professor Moody glanced at the two people and clenched his wand staring cautiously.

After a few drops of blood and a pinch of mixed powder were placed on the alchemy array, blue and white flames ignited on the six corners of the six-pointed star on the alchemy array. In the recitation of Ryan's spell, these flames began to move quickly along the runes and lines of the alchemy array. Finally a flame ignited across the alchemy array.

The materials in the center of the alchemy array slowly floated in mid-air while the flames were running, and mixed with each other under the direction of Ryan's gestures. It turned into a green powder.

"Every walk will leave traces." Ryan recited the mantra in ancient Latin. The voice fell and a gust of wind suddenly appeared, blowing all the powder on the alchemy table towards the room that Professor Dumbledore had just cleaned out. .

Soon, the whole house was enveloped in a piece of fluorescent green powder. These powders slowly settled down with the passage of time, and finally all fell to the ground.

"Okay." Ryan said to the two professors on the side. Professor Dumbledore laughed, and then walked directly into the ruins of the Gunter family. Moody leaned on the door of the ruined building and stared at the surroundings with vigilance.

As Ryan stepped into the door, Moody whispered next to him, "I'm right, you did a great job."

Most of the powder in the room has completely disappeared, but there are five or six places that show a luminous green light instead. This means that there is a magical response in these places, so there are fewer places to search.

Everyone searches in the past according to the size of the magic reaction, and every place where there is a magic reaction can dig something. However, the Gunter family was indeed defeated. The dug-outs were all broken gadgets and worthless.

"Okay, let's see what this is." Dumbledore came to the place where the reaction was the weakest: behind the decorative slab above the fireplace, they could see the roughness of the slab after cleaning up the dust on the decorative board Carved a snake.

"The badge of the Gunter family? This place is quite in line with Voldemort's character. He must have a sense of ritual when placing these things, and he won't let it be randomly." Professor Dumbledore waved his wand while removing That slate.

The strange thing is that there is nothing behind the slab, only a complete stone. But there is a rectangular green light spot on the stone.

"Ah, it's illusion." Dumbledore shouted the organ before waiting for Ryan to do anything, and after a few strokes of his wand, there was no reaction.

Under the light, a groove appeared in the stone. A Jin Cancan box was placed in the groove. But on the mouth of the groove, many green runes emerged.

"Dispel harmful magical creatures, prevent fire and weather, strengthen, curse and fight back--" Watching Professor Rune Dumbledore report the functions of those runes one by one. Ryan looked carefully at how Dumbledore recognized and destroyed these things.

"Okay." Professor Dumbledore reached out and took the gold box from the table. It turned out that he avoided the most magical place in the gap, and after breaking the magic on the stone, he punched a hole in the side and took out the box.

Looking at Professor Dumbledore's plan to open the lid of the box right here, Ryan hurried forward to stop: "Professor, we haven't rushed to get all the things. It's better to return to the office to deal with it?"

"It's true, I'm a little irritable." Dumbledore stopped his hand reaching towards the box, took a dragon skin pocket from his arms and threw the box into it ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Lane could feel that this pocket was really used It is made by the dragon skin instead of the leather products such as the dragon skin gloves made by dragon vein creatures listed on the student's list every year.

The accumulation of a hundred years of wizarding should not be underestimated, whether it is knowledge or wealth. It seems that the estimate of the true strength of that vote of pure blood needs to be adjusted higher. Maybe there are several ancestors in the basement of each of those families who are ready to unveil the coffin at any time.

After confirming that there was nothing missing in the room, the three returned to Hogwarts' principal's office on the Phoenix Express.

——

In Professor Dumbledore ’s principal ’s office, three people looked at the golden box on the table around the table.

"I have checked that there is nothing wrong with the box, so let me open the box." Dumbledore reached for the golden box again, but was still stopped by Ryan.

"Professor Dumbledore, this golden box was created by a goblin. Special materials and techniques isolate all our investigative methods. What if there is a curse on something like that? Especially if you said that the person is good at confusing people, even The organs inside can only control you for a few seconds, and the consequences are unimaginable. So I want to let me open the box, so that even if there are any organs, you can easily control me. "

"I'm not too old to need a minor child to protect me from danger." Moody also stood up after hearing this sentence. "Simply let me come. Ryan, you are too young, and some curses may kill you instantly. I think I can carry it for a while in this case. Albus can also control me and avoid it. Danger."

Finally, Professor Moody took over the task of opening the box. Ryan stood behind Dumbledore and watched him alertly.
