Vader wanted to say something, but the two of them really couldn't participate in the current situation. Vader even speculated for a moment whether the gem had been cast like this by some dangerous magic by the dark wizard opposite.
But he also knew that this was impossible and could only be said to be a problem between the two of them.
"How are you going to investigate?" Vader could only ask, "It is dangerous to continue researching alone."
Noah nodded slightly: "I will pay attention."
…
After leaving the hospital, Noah did not return home.
He glanced at the sky, and his figure turned into smoke and disappeared.
Of course, the frequent dreams at night are not in vain. Even though many of the contents are almost forgotten when I wake up in the morning, some recurring ones are remembered.
It has never been a secret that the Gaunt family's old house is located in Little Hangleton. As the heir to the "noble" "Slytherin" bloodline, this old house has withered to the point where there is not even a house elf left. .
Noah stood in front of the old Gaunt house, staring at this historic mansion in silence.
Unlike his home, this mansion was larger and more quaint, exuding an air of antiquity and decay.
Vines and weeds grow along with nettles, crows and snakes hover, broken tiles fall in the corners, and even rafter bone armor can be seen from the roof above. Coupled with the dim moonlight tonight, no matter what It looks like a haunted house.
Although Noah's main destination was not here, since he was passing by, he couldn't come here in vain.
The rusty door of the manor slowly opened with a sharp creaking sound, and the mansion, which had been silent for nearly ten years, once again welcomed a visitor.
Crows roosting in trees or on rooftops are awakened, spreading their wings and hovering in the sky to stare at the intruder below.
Several snakes scuttled quickly through the grass, hiding themselves. For a moment, even the chirping of insects seemed to have been muffled.
In the blink of an eye, Noah passed through the overgrown front yard and appeared in front of the house. He immediately saw the dead snake carcass nailed into an "S" shape on the door. The persistence of pure blood is also vividly reflected in this strange aspect.
The door was pushed open by magic, dust was scattered and blown open by the invisible wind, opening a clean path for Noah.
The transparent wind bird began to shuttle around the house, turning into Noah's eyes to explore everything in the mansion.
This house has been abandoned for too long, and there are no precious treasures left in it, but it may have been stored in other places.
Noah casually strolled through the house and found that the interior of the house was also quite gloomy. The windows were small and dense, and the dirt accumulated over time was everywhere. It was messy and decayed, which was enough to symbolize the so-called pure-blood family. Has declined.
Noah walked up the stairs and finally stopped at the door of the study.
The door was blown open by the wind, and a transparent wind bird flew out with a black stone ring in its mouth, and landed lightly on Noah's arm.
Keya poked his head out of Noah's sleeves, stared at the barely visible wind bird with his red snake eyes, and then suddenly opened his mouth and bit it.
The temporarily created Fengniao, which was not spiritual enough, was dumbly bitten by Keya. The body composed of wind and magic dissipated completely, and the ring in its mouth also fell downwards.
Noah caught the ring with his other hand and held it in front of his eyes for a closer look.
The ring was made of gold, of rough workmanship, and inlaid with a large black stone engraved with a medallion.
Unexpectedly, a Horcrux was actually placed here. It was not a surprise. The real surprise was the black gemstone inlaid on the ring.
Noah recognized the crest engraved on the gemstone, which was the crest of "Admire Leer".
The name "Admire Lear" may be unfamiliar to many people, but if you mention "The God of Death and the Three Brothers", it will be very familiar. I admire that the Lear family is actually the family to which the "three brothers" of the Deathly Hallows belong.
Noah's eyes wandered around the black gem, but he gave up after a while and immediately checked to see if the gem was something else.
An unexpected surprise.
This Horcrux is different from the one at Hogwarts. There is an extremely vicious curse cast on it. Not to mention using magic to find out. If someone tries to wear one, he will definitely see the God of Death opening his arms to him. .
Noah secretly sighed at Voldemort's cruelty. This was because he was certain that he would be the last Gaunt and there was no need for anyone else to interfere with the family's honor.
An overly authoritarian guy.
Noah recalled all the wind birds and left the old house regardless of the traces on the ground that meant someone had been there.
Time is running out, and he must find the swampland that often appears in his dreams before dawn.
Fortunately, it was not far from Gunter's old house, and it didn't take much time for Noah to find the place.
The phantom spell originally set outside this quagmire has been replaced by a Muggle expulsion spell, just to ensure that Muggles will not approach at will. But wizards rarely set foot in this quagmire, which has been shown to be five-star dangerous.
Noah stood on the outside, trying to find some sense of familiarity. But it is obvious that this swamp has changed too much over the course of thousands of years.
Fortunately, he probably still remembers the location and may be able to find what he is looking for smoothly.
Thinking of Noah stepping into the swamp.
The danger here is just like in a dream, with poisonous mist filling the air, wetlands hiding, poisonous insects and dangerous beasts dormant.
Noah carefully selected a suitable tree to stay on, with two fluttering fire butterflies flying around him, burning all the poisonous insects that tried to get close to him.
It's not that I don't want to use magic like shock to directly drive away all the insects and ants, but there are also many dangerous magical creatures here. Using that skill rashly will not necessarily drive them away, but will anger them.
After tentatively identifying the direction, Noah began to teleport non-stop.
Because he was not sure of his direction, he could only teleport over short distances to adjust his direction.
This swamp was much more dangerous than he imagined, and Noah wouldn't be able to avoid those dangers if it weren't for the detection magic.
Later, he couldn't even summon the fire butterfly, because some kind of poisonous mist in this swamp would burn directly when exposed to fire, almost burning Noah's hand off.
Other mimic creatures summoned later also caused some trouble, and some even directly attracted magical creatures.
In desperation, Noah could only give up this convenient magic and rely solely on himself and Keya.
It took him two hours to find what he was looking for - an unusually tall elder tree.
The elder tree in Noah's dream was not very high, only about five meters high. It was specially transplanted here as a mark, and a lot of magic potion was even poured on it to ensure that it could adapt to the swamp environment.
Now, thousands of years later, this elder tree has grown to a height of twenty meters and is still flourishing and guarding its responsibilities.
