Chapter 686： Gaunt House

It was a house made of stones, the walls were covered with moss, the tiles on the roof had all fallen off, the branches of the trees next to it pierced through the roof and the small windows that were covered with thick old grime stretched in.

There were dense nettles growing around the house, and the tall nettles reached the window, and covered most of the door. Dumbledore could only vaguely see the outline of a door.

Dumbledore did not rush forward to enter the house, but flicked the wand in his hand, turning a stone on the ground into a puppet, letting it push away the nettles and reveal the door.

However, as soon as the puppet approached the door, a flame burst out on the ground in front of the door. In the blink of an eye, the stone puppet was burned into a pile of white ashes, and the nettle at the door was also burned. clean.

But the wooden door that looked crumbling was still intact, and Dumbledore could even clearly see the different shades of knife marks on the door...

He who has read Ogden's memory knows that it was left when Morfin Gaunt nailed the snake to the door for fun.

Dumbledore walked to the trap triggered by the puppet just now, squatted down to identify it carefully, and then raised his wand, shooting rays of light of different colors on the ground.

However, just as he successfully dispelled the magic trap at the door, a venomous snake suddenly emerged from the ground next to him, biting towards Dumbledore.

Dumbledore's body flashed, and with a piercing crack, the apparition moved five meters away, and after those poisonous snakes missed a hit, they quickly turned into black smoke and dissipated.

"I'm careless." Dumbledore glanced at the corner of his clothes and sighed.

Although he evaded in time just now, he was still touched by a snake, and the place touched by the snake seemed to be corroded by something, and an arc-shaped gap appeared.

Dumbledore regained his energy and walked towards Gaunt's old house again with a more cautious attitude than before.

The protective magic that Voldemort set up in Gaunt's old house is very sophisticated, both hidden and dangerous. But with Dumbledore's careful handling, those magic traps were broken one by one.

It took about an hour for Dumbledore to finally push open the broken wooden door, and the wooden door was already overwhelmed. At the same time as it was pushed open by Dumbledore, it fell down and smashed to the ground. Pile of broken pieces of wood.

Dumbledore stood in the doorway, looking cautiously inside...

The furnishings inside the house are very simple. The furniture in the house has decayed to varying degrees due to the relationship of time, and because no one has lived for a long time, there is a thick layer of dust on it.

Weeds were overgrown on the ground, mushrooms even grew in some places, and white cobwebs were covered in some high corners and between the branches protruding outside.

Dumbledore made another puppet and let it wander around the room without triggering any more traps. It looked like Voldemort had just set up defenses outside the house.

However, Dumbledore did not let his guard down. He held his wand and searched carefully in Gaunt's old house.

Because the house was not big, and Voldemort was probably confident in his arrangement outside, Dumbledore quickly found the ring in Ogden's memory in a drawer in the back room.

Dumbledore picked up the ring and stared at it blankly, showing a struggle.

The black gemstone inlaid on the ring is engraved with a pattern consisting of triangles, circles and vertical lines. It is the badge of the Peverell family, but Dumbledore knows better that it is the symbol of the Deathly Hallows. It was also a sign of his choice when he was young, and Greenwald wanted to show his ambitions.

Through this sign and the information he had discovered with Greenwald, Dumbledore had already guessed the true face of this black gem when he was watching Ogden's memory. Among the Three Hallows of Death, he most wanted to get Resurrection Stone.

Dumbledore lightly rubbed his fingers over the pattern representing the Deathly Hallows on the black gem, and the expression on his face kept changing.

In the end, he still couldn't resist the desire to see his parents and sister again, and put the ring on the index finger of his right hand.

Just when Dumbledore wanted to activate the ability of the Resurrection Stone, a terrifying energy burst out from the ring, and his right hand dries up quickly as if it had been drained of blood, and this is still the case. It spreads rapidly from his right hand to his arm.

"Well…"

Dumbledore groaned and fell to his knees.

Then he resisted the pain on his arm, quickly took off the ring on his finger, and threw it far away in the corner of the room, and picked up the wand that had just fallen to the side, pointing to the still dry and gradually changing wand. His charred right hand was muttering words.

As Dumbledore's spell came into effect, his right hand gradually stopped getting worse, and the dry and charred condition stopped at the position of his right shoulder, but Dumbledore's heart was not happy at all.

Although the situation is no longer deteriorating, he has already noticed that there is a very vicious curse hidden in the ring, and he has only suppressed it temporarily. This curse is still consuming his magic power continuously. As time passed, the curse would break out again, and at that time, he could no longer stop it from spreading.

"Greed is really one of the original sins..." Dumbledore looked at his right arm that looked like a scorched corpse, and shook his head with a wry smile.

In fact, death is not such a terrible thing for him, but now that Voldemort is resurrected, Harry has not grown up, and Fish... is not very reliable, he still needs to contribute himself power to deal with Voldemort.

That's right, Fish!

Dumbledore, who was still distressed, suddenly reacted after thinking of cats and cats...

If you can't do this spell yourself, that doesn't mean Feixu can't do it!

You know, Fishh's spell called Tranquility, but even the Longbottom couple who lived in the hospital for more than ten years were rescued.

Dumbledore regained his composure, then raised his wand with his left hand, and cast the Fire Charm on the Resurrection Stone ring that he had just thrown into the corner.

Furious flames shot out from the tip of Dumbledore's staff, forming a phoenix the size of a palm, which looked like Fox had been shrunk by Fisher's animal reduction.

Under the control of Dumbledore, the flaming phoenix flew to the corner of the ring, and then pecked at the resurrection stone embedded in the ring.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by a crisp cracking sound, cobweb-like cracks appeared on the resurrection stone, and the ring that wrapped it was also melted into a pool of liquid due to the high temperature emitted by the fierce fire.

At the same time, a jet of black gas escaped from the crack and was swallowed by the flaming phoenix that was still flying above.

Dumbledore dispelled the palm-sized fiery phoenix, stared blankly at the cracked resurrection stone in the corner for a while, then stepped forward and picked it up.

This time, he no longer had any thoughts about the resurrection stone in his heart, he put it directly in his pocket, and then restored the old Gaunt house to the way it was before he came... He even rearranged those traps once again.

After all this was done, Dumbledore unleashed his Apparition and disappeared with a piercing crackle.
