NOVEL NEXT Hogwarts: more magic than magic
Chapter 139 Inside the House
Chapter 139 Inside the House
After entering this house, the smell of decay fills the nostrils all the time.
With the faint light from the magic wand, it can be seen that the plaster on the wall has peeled off, exposing the wall inside; the portraits and photos that were originally hung on the wall are now only pieces of immobile and faded paper; most of the original ornate furniture has been destroyed and stacked randomly on the ground.
The ceiling above the head has also cracked and fallen off, and the whole house looks like a ghost house.
In Qizi's memory, the inheritance ring of the Gaunt family is one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. It seems that Dumbledore will find it here later. Unfortunately, Dumbledore was also bewitched by the gem at that time and indulged in the fantasy of resurrecting his relatives.
So that his right hand was hit by the curse that Voldemort cast on the ring, which was one of the causes of Lao Deng's death.
Of course, this thing was eventually destroyed by Dumbledore with the sword of Gryffindor.
But these things haven't happened yet, and it won't happen again after Qiz finds it.
For Keez, the ring itself has no meaning. The most important thing is that the ring is inlaid with a black gemstone engraved with Peverell's crest-the real resurrection stone.
As one of the Deathly Hallows, this thing has been related to some kind of ritual of becoming a pseudo-Death God in several simulations in the past. It is impossible for Qiz to let it fall into the hands of others.
In addition, Qiz wanted to get it purely out of curiosity. Although he also had people who wanted to be resurrected, it was basically impossible to resurrect them in this world.
Qiz has seen many studies on the resurrection stone in some magic books. The most common statement is that this thing cannot resurrect the real dead, and it may just copy people who exist in memory in some form.
However, if he had the chance, he still wanted to give it a try, even if he could only look at them.
"Squeak!"
Keiz stepped on the rotten board, making a harsh sound.
The sound brought him back from thinking, and he looked up to see that they had just passed the living room.
"Better be careful from now on, I don't feel very good here!" Branca tightly held Chizz's hand, and pulled out the long sword from her waist with the other hand.
Keiz also took out his wand when he heard the words, and began to be more vigilant.
"The defensive magic spell here has completely failed, and I can feel that there is no magic spell that can threaten us!" Qiz said in a low voice.
Suddenly he seemed to remember something, "Oops! I actually forgot, this place should be traced by the Ministry of Magic!"
"What's the matter?" Blanca stopped walking and looked at him suspiciously.
"Magic can't be used outside the school!" Keiz said solemnly, and then began to rummage through the bag.
"Haven't you used it many times in the secret realm?"
"It's different from here! The secret realm is completely isolated by the black mist, and the Ministry of Magic can't find it. Although it's closed here, it's still connected to the outside world, so..."
"What will happen?" Blanca asked worriedly.
Keiz froze for a while, "Yes! It's nothing bad, at most, I was dragged to have a conversation and a warning. Anyway, we are also in danger because of the mission of the Ministry of Magic, so I have to use magic as a last resort!"
He was convinced by his own reasons, but he took out the aging agent he had just found and drank it in one gulp. Under Blanca's surprised eyes, he turned into a strong young man who was a head taller than her.
"You are!..."
Branca was so frightened that he quickly let go of his hand, and then reacted immediately, and punched his strong chest with a fist.
"Is it some kind of potion?"
"It's an aging agent! It can make me look like ten years later, and I can use it to bypass Zongsi's restrictions." Qiz rubbed his aching chest and grinned. "Let's go! After all, it's not particularly safe here, find that thing quickly, and leave quickly."
"That's right! I have to go back and meet those idiots from the Ministry of Magic and ask them why they want to lock us in."
After speaking, the two continued to walk forward.
There are only four rooms on both sides of the corridor on the left side of the first floor, and there is a very large room at the top.
They first opened the first door on the right. The wooden door was rotten, and the skeleton just pushed it lightly, and the door fell down.
There was only a small broken cabinet inside, and there was a rotten towel in the cabinet.
Keez guessed that this room was supposed to be the dwelling of the house-elves.
Shaking his head, he withdrew his gaze from the room, and then walked to the opposite room.
This time it was an empty room full of garbage...
After searching the four houses on the first floor, they still found nothing.
"What is that thing you are looking for? Is it in this house? It seems that there is really no danger here, why don't we look for it separately!"
"It's okay! It's a ring with a strange shape. It should be in this house, but it may take a lot of effort to find it. After you find it, remember not to touch it. It is very dangerous. If you don't do it, you will lose your life. I need to deal with it myself." Qiz warned Blanca solemnly.
"Start from the middle staircase, you search the room on the left, and I search the room on the right."
"I see! Call you over as soon as you find it."
They separated and searched around the house.
Soon, Qiz finally noticed something strange in the big study on the third floor, saying that the study was actually more like a small library.
The size of this study is very large, almost occupying most of the third floor, and it has not been looted like the outside. The books inside are still in their original positions, but it is covered with dust.
Qiz took out a few books and looked at them. The books in this study room are also well preserved.
He checked it carefully again, and found that the entire study room was enchanted, with constant temperature and humidity all year round, and the bookshelves were also made of excellent camphor wood. This kind of wood is insect-proof and moth-proof, which is very beneficial for the maintenance of books.
Intuition told him that the thing should be hidden here.
So he raised his wand and sent 'Secret Appearances' in all directions.
His action was effective, and after casting the fourth spell, Keiz noticed a faint glow behind a bookshelf against the wall.
Keiz walked over cautiously and pushed the bookshelf away, revealing the wall behind it.
He looked solemnly at the wall in front of him, on which the special magic circle revealed by the spell 'Secret Appearance' shone faintly.
He had never seen this kind of magic circle before, so he rested his chin on one hand and kept looking for it in the vast sea of information in his memory.
Not long after, he finally found information about this kind of spell. Looking at the information, Qiz said to himself, "It turned out to be an encryption spell. It seems a bit troublesome!"
