Chapter 723 Resurrection Stone

After some spinning, Fei Xu stepped onto the ground again. He twitched his nose slightly and immediately showed an expression of disgust.

After simply scanning the surroundings, Maomao recognized that the main venue for this memory was once again the old Gaunt house.

However, compared to the memory of the first time I came to Gunter's old house, this time Gunter's old house was simply indescribably filthy. The ceiling was covered with thick cobwebs, the floor was dark, and there were moldy food and a pile of rusty pots on the table.

Moreover, the air was filled with a sour smell and a strong smell of alcohol, which made Fei Xu, who had a keen sense of smell, subconsciously cover his nose.

Fortunately, this is just a memory, otherwise Fei Fei would probably go crazy with alcohol again.

A man with long hair and beard covering his eyes and mouth is sitting on an old and dirty armchair. At his feet, there are many empty wine bottles piled up in a mess, with some empty wine bottles in between. There was a flickering candle, the only source of light in the room.

The man on the chair had his head drooped and his limbs relaxed, as if dead. However, Fish confirmed through his slight breathing and slightly rising chest that the man was just sleeping, or perhaps drunk.

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

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

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

After Morfin recognized Voldemort's appearance with a drunken look, he stood up unsteadily, the empty wine bottle at his feet rolling with a tinkling sound.

"You!" he shouted: "You!"

Morfin, who mistook Voldemort for his father, jumped on him drunkenly, holding his wand and dagger high.

However, as Voldemort said "Stop" in Parseltongue, Morfin stumbled to a stop and looked at him with wide eyes.

The two looked at each other for a long time before communicating in Parseltongue again.

Under Harry's translation, Fish and others watched as Voldemort extracted from Morfin's mouth his own life experience and the current situation of several of his relatives.

Then, an extraordinary darkness came, swallowing everything.

This time there was no need for Dumbledore and Fish to take the initiative to lead the others away. After the darkness swallowed everything, they naturally took off and flew back to reality.

"That's all?" Harry asked immediately: "Why did it go dark all of a sudden? What happened?"

"Because Morfin couldn't remember what happened after that." Dumbledore waved everyone to sit down. "When he woke up the next morning, he was lying on the ground alone, and Marvolo's ring was missing. At the same time, In the village of Little Hangleton, old Tom Riddle and his parents died in their big house without any scars on their bodies. "

"Avada Kedavra..." Hermione muttered.

"Yes, Avada Kedavra usually doesn't leave any scars...the only exception is sitting in front of me." Dumbledore nodded towards Harry's scar, and then said: "The Ministry of Magic knew immediately It was the murder of a wizard. They also knew that a man who had always hated Muggles lived across from Riddle's house, and that this man had been in prison for attacking one of the victims in the case. "

"So the Ministry of Magic found Morfin. Without any interrogation, without using Veritaserum or Legilimency, he confessed immediately, providing details that only the murderer would know, and said that 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?" Harry said and sat up straight.

This is not a difficult truth to guess.

Although according to Dumbledore, Morfin waited for an opportunity before taking action, but for a wizard, there is always an opportunity to harm Muggles, and Morfin did not hide his thoughts at all. So if you think about this statement carefully, you will find that there are loopholes everywhere.

But unfortunately, the ability of the Ministry of Magic in England to handle affairs was in shambles 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 doubtful points, and just wanted to settle the case as soon as possible and whitewash peace.

"So, it's still the same old question. What clues did you find in this memory?" Dumbledore asked, raising his palms. "Please give Harry and Mr. Weasley a chance to show off, Hermione." ”

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

"That ring..." Harry said with a chill all over.

After already knowing that Marvolo's ring was made into a Horcrux, and that making a Horcrux required a human life, he immediately had a terrible guess in his mind...

"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 Gaunt's old house and obtain the ring there."

He took out a black gemstone from his pocket and placed it on the table. It was the gemstone set in the Gaunt family's 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 for a moment and was attacked by the spell left by Voldemort on it."

Fish didn't think about it, he reached out and picked up the black gem, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully. He saw that the gem was covered with spider web-like cracks, but among these cracks, a pattern composed of vertical lines, circles and triangles could still be identified.

"Put it down!"

Because the cat was too fast, Hermione was stunned for a long time before she reacted. She screamed and reached out to hit the gem in Fish's hand, trying to knock it out of the cat's hand.

However, with Fish's reaction speed, it was naturally impossible to be hit easily. He quickly raised the gem above his head, leaving Hermione empty.

"What are you doing, Hermione?"

ω

Fish frowned and looked at Hermione who suddenly waved his hand to hit him.

"Don't worry, Hermione, I have already removed the spell on it." Dumbledore said cheerfully, "If there was any danger, I would not have put it in front of you like this."

Hermione then reacted, "Sorry, Professor Dumbledore..." She hurriedly apologized with a smile.

Although her behavior just now was due to her concern, it was also a manifestation of her distrust of Dumbledore.

Dumbledore naturally would not blame Hermione for this. He smiled and waved his hand, then turned his eyes to Fish, with a little hesitation in his expression, but also a hint of expectation.

When Maomao found that Hermione no longer intended to snatch the gem in her hand, she immediately put her arm down and continued to look through it.

Dumbledore kept staring at Fish, and wanted to ask for the Resurrection Stone back several times, but stopped abruptly.

It was not until he saw Feishi accidentally put the resurrection stone in his hand and turned it three times, and still nothing happened, that he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help asking: "Did you find anything? Why do you keep fiddling with it?"

"Feish doesn't know meow..."

(ω)

Mao Mao scratched the back of his head and said in a confused look: "This stone gives Feishi a feeling of closeness and disgust. Feishi doesn't know why meow..."

After that, he turned the "black stone" in his hand over and over for a long time, then shone it in the light for a long time, took out the magic wand and knocked it, and grabbed it and knocked it hard on the corner of the table... but there was no reaction.

"Meow!"

Feish, who was getting increasingly irritated, finally lost his patience. Before others could react, he grabbed this inexplicable black gem and stuffed it into his mouth, and then bit it hard.

(`皿)

"Crack!"

Uh... I guess the additional update will be postponed... Something happened, and I will be busy recently.

I left home halfway through writing last night, and didn't come back until 9 this morning. I just woke up and had a meal, and added cat food to Zhongyuan. I have to go out later, and I will probably stay up all night tonight.

I probably don't have time to read and reply to rewards and comments recently, but I will try my best to ensure updates. Even if I really can't make it, I should notify you in advance, that's it...
