Chapter 720： Resurrection Stone

After a whirlwind, Fei Xu stepped on the ground again, he twitched his nose lightly, and immediately showed an expression of disgust.

Just a simple scan of the surroundings, Cat Cat recognized that the main venue of this memory was in the old Gaunt house again.

However, compared to the memory of the first time I came to Gaunt's old house, this time's Gaunt's old house was filthy beyond description. There were thick cobwebs on the ceiling, and the ground was in a black lake. There were moldy food and a pile of rusted pots on the table.

And there was a sour stench and a strong smell of alcohol in the air, which made Fei Xu, who had a keen sense of smell, subconsciously cover his nose.

Also thanks to this is just a memory, or Fei many half will be drunk again.

A man with a beard that covered his eyes and mouth was sitting in a shabby and dirty armchair, and at his feet there were many messy empty wine bottles stacked up and down between them. There was a shaky candle, the only light source in the room.

The man in the chair had his head lowered and his limbs relaxed, as if he were dead, but Fish, through his light breathing and slightly undulating chest, confirmed that the man was just sleeping, or just drunk.

From the smell of alcohol and sourness on his body, Fish could barely make out that he was the man named Morfin Gaunt from the previous memory, who was also Voldemort's uncle.

When Hermione and the others also entered this memory, there was a heavy knock on the door immediately. Morfin on the chair was shaken and woke up. He raised his wand in his right hand and a short knife in his left.

The door creaked open, and the boy Voldemort walked in, an old-fashioned oil lamp in his hand.

After drunkenly recognizing Voldemort's face, Morfin staggered to his feet, the empty wine bottle beside his feet pinging and rolling.

"You!" he yelled, "you!"

Morfin, who mistook Voldemort for his father, pounced drunkenly, holding his wand and knife aloft.

However, with Voldemort's old-fashioned "stop", Morfin stumbled to a stop, and stared at him with wide eyes.

The two looked at each other for a long time before they communicated in the old snake tongue again.

Under Harry's translation, Fish and the others watched Voldemort tell Morfin's own background and the current situation of several of his relatives.

Then, an unusual darkness struck and engulfed everything.

This time, Dumbledore and Fish didn't need to take the initiative to take the others away. After the darkness engulfed everything, they naturally took off and flew back to reality.

"That's all?" Harry asked immediately. "Why did it go dark and what happened?"

"Because Morfin can't remember what happened after that." Dumbledore beckoned everyone to sit down. "He woke up the next morning, lying on the ground alone, with Marvolo's ring gone. Meanwhile, In Little Hangleton, old Tom Riddle and his parents died in their big mansion with no scars."

"The Avada Solitaire..." Hermione murmured.

"Yes, the Avada Sorcerer doesn't usually leave any scars... the only exception is sitting in front of me." Dumbledore nodded at Harry's scar, and continued: "The Ministry of Magic knew right away. It was the hands of wizards. They also knew of a man who had always hated Muggles who lived opposite Riddle's house and who had been in jail for attacking one of the victims in this case."

"So the Ministry of Magic found Morfin, and without much interrogation, no Veritaserum or Legilimency, he immediately confessed, providing details that only the murderer knew, and said he was proud of killing those Muggles, Said he had been waiting for this opportunity for years..."

"Voldemort stole Morfin's wand and used it to kill people?" said Harry, sitting up straight.

It's not that hard to guess the truth.

Although according to Dumbledore, Morfin waited until the opportunity to move his hand, but for a wizard, if you want to hurt Muggles, any time is an opportunity, and Morfin did not hide his thoughts at all. So if you think about it carefully, you will find loopholes everywhere.

But unfortunately, the ability of the Ministry of Magic in England to handle affairs was a mess decades ago. In other words, the Ministry of Magic at that time, like the Ministry of Magic now, was accustomed to turning a blind eye to some doubts, and just wanted to settle the case as soon as possible and whitewash the peace.

"So, the same old question, what clues did you find in this memory?" Dumbledore asked, raising his palms, "Please give Harry and Mr. Wesley a chance, Hermione. ."

Hermione, who was about to speak, closed her mouth angrily.

"That ring..." Harry said coldly.

Under the premise that Marvolo's ring was made into a Horcrux, and that making a Horcrux requires a human life, he immediately had a terrible guess in his heart...

"Voldemort used his father's death to make the ring into a Horcrux."

"I'm not sure," Dumbledore sighed, "but it's not impossible. At the same time, I also used this clue to find the old Gaunt mansion and get the ring inside."

He took out a black gem from his pocket and put it on the table, it was the gem set in the Gaunt family ring.

Then Dumbledore raised the charred index finger of his right hand, shook it in front of Fish and the others, and said, "As a result, I was careless and was plotted by the spell that Voldemort left on it."

Feixu didn't even think about it, he stretched out his hand and picked up the black gemstone. He put it in front of his eyes and examined it carefully. He saw that the gemstone was covered with cobweb-like cracks. A pattern of lines, circles and triangles.

"Put it down!"

Because the speed of the cat was too fast, Hermione was stunned for a while before she realized it. She screamed and reached out to pat the gem in Fish's hand, trying to knock it out of the cat's hands.

It's just that with the speed of Fisch's reaction, it is naturally impossible to be easily shot. He quickly raised the gem above his head, making Hermione slapped empty.

"What are you doing, Hermione?"

?ω?

Fish frowned, looking at Hermione who suddenly waved.

"Don't worry, Hermione, the spell on it has already been lifted by me." Dumbledore said cheerfully: "If there is danger I can't just put it in front of you like this. what."

Only then did Hermione react, "I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore..." She hurriedly smiled and apologized.

Although his behavior just now was caused by concern, it was also a manifestation of distrust of Dumbledore.

Dumbledore naturally wouldn't blame Hermione for this, he smiled and waved his hand, then turned his eyes to Fish, with a little hesitation in his expression, but a hint of anticipation.

After realizing that Hermione was no longer planning to grab the gem in her hand, Cat Cat immediately put down her arm and continued to look at it.

Dumbledore kept staring at Fish, and tried several times to ask for the resurrection stone, but stopped abruptly.

It wasn't until he saw that Fei Xu accidentally put the resurrection stone in his hand and turned it around three times, but nothing happened. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help asking: "Did you find anything? Why do you want to? Been fiddling with it?"

"Fishu doesn't know meow either..."

(??ω??)?

Mao Mao scratched the back of his head, and said with a bewildered face: "This stone gives Fei Xu a feeling of being close and annoying, and Fei Xu doesn't know why..."

After he finished speaking, he turned the "black stone" in his hand over and over again for a while, then lit it at the light for a long time, took out his wand and tapped it, and grabbed it and tapped it **** the corner of the table... ...and nothing happened.

"Meow!"

The gradually irritable Fei Xu finally lost his patience. Before the others could react, he grabbed this inexplicable black gem and stuffed it into his mouth, and then bit down hard.

(?`Dish'?)

"Boom!"
