Hogwarts: The Book of Magic

Chapter 44 Discovery of the Ring
When Lean finished searching the first floor, Snape had already searched the second floor and was walking towards the third floor.

The second floor is the guest room and some entertainment rooms, which Rian skipped after a casual glance.

On the third floor, Lean had a big harvest - the library of the Gunter family.

The defense of this library is very strong, and in order to prevent the family's collection of books from falling into his hands, the Gunter family even released a magic here that would destroy the entire library as long as it was attacked strongly.

It took Lien a lot of effort to untie the magic circle.

Hmm... It can't be said to be unraveling, but Lian found that the magic circle has not been maintained for a long time, and the magic power has become scarce.

So Rian used an attack that was large enough but would not trigger the destruction circle to attack the library's defenses.

It took about half an hour to finish grinding.

But hard work pays off, and the books in this library are well preserved.The entire library is enchanted, with constant temperature and humidity all year round.The bookshelf is also an excellent magical iron wood. This kind of wood is hard, without moths, and will not deform for thousands of years.

Without any hesitation, Lean used magic directly to pack books into his non-marking stretch bag, but after filling two shelves of books, Lean found that his bag was too small.

His bag was packed to the brim.

Lien quickly made a decision: put the books here first, and after finding the resurrection stone, slowly move the books back.

These are the books that the Gaunt family has collected for thousands of years. Rin glanced at them roughly, and found that there are many powerful ancient magic books in it, and even some orphan books can be found here.

"You have to stay here and wait for my arrival." Lien stood in front of the library door, said softly, and then slowly closed the door.

In the end, two defensive spells, two curse spells, and one mark spell were cast on the door in one go.

"Are you being lazy here?" Snape quietly walked behind Rian again.

"!!!" Lean was startled again by Snape's silent footwork.

"The library, seal it up, and move it out when the time comes." Lien said briefly.

Snape nodded, planning in his mind whether to send some books to Rian after he got the Resurrection Stone.

"I'll take a look outside. You should go faster. If you go down at your speed, you'll be thankful if you can catch up with tomorrow's breakfast." Snape left without looking back.

Lean ignored Snape's urging, still searching every room carefully.

Time slowly came to the evening, and the two came to the lobby on the first floor to gather.

Snape asked Lean with a gloomy face, "So where is the Resurrection Stone? I'm such a fool that I believed in your evil and came here with you to scavenge."

"Don't worry, my dear professor, there is still one place that hasn't been searched yet." Lean said calmly with a smile on his face.

Damn it, did my appearance cause a butterfly effect, causing the resurrection stone to no longer be in Gaunt's old house?
It's over, it's over, Snape's expression isn't going to kill me, is it?
Ryan thought anxiously.

"You mean the hall under our feet? Please open those eyes you haven't used all this time and take a good look. Does it look like a place where you can hide things?" Snape couldn't control his emotions.

"Well, well, I want to see what tricks you're up to."

The desire to get the Resurrection Stone finally overcame the anger in Snape's mind, and he turned away, intending to search the empty hall aside.

"Huh?" Snape seemed to have discovered something.

Lean heard Snape's puzzled voice and walked over.

But he was relieved, at least he didn't have to be beaten to death.

In front of Snape was a small cabinet, which was magically treated to make the surface the same color as the wall.

Even though the stone bricks inside were exposed on the wall at this time, the cabinet still used magic to simulate the effect of the damaged wall.

Snape couldn't wait to reach out to pull the drawer on the cabinet, but Rean stopped his hand halfway.

"You'd better be careful, my dear professor." Lean stood beside Snape, firmly grasping Snape's hands that were about to reach out.

Snape nodded, then took two steps back and took out his wand.

Lean also took out his wand to deal with any possible attack at any time.

"Armor body protection"*2
The two involuntarily used the Iron Armor Curse at the same time.

"Call God to Guard"

Snape cast the spell again, and a burst of silver sand shot out from the tip of Snape's staff, followed by a silver stag looming in the silver sand.

Looking at the Patronus he had summoned, Snape glanced at Lean in a panic.Seeing that Rian didn't respond, Snape was slightly relieved.

It's like an innocent boy taking out a pen from a girl he likes, but he is afraid that his friends will ask where the pen came from.

But Snape's every move was watched by Lean.

Sometimes, Professor Snape is unexpectedly cute.

Lien didn't know why he thought of this sentence, and the corners of his mouth began to subconsciously rise slightly.

However, just when Lean was stunned, Professor Snape flew backwards from Lean's eyes, and then fell hard to the ground.

"We're in big trouble, Lean." Snape pressed his trembling left hand and said with an unchanged expression.

"Is this... a curse?" Lean noticed that something was wrong with Snape's left hand, a black mist wrapped around Snape's hand, and he kept trying to get into Snape's skin.

"Damn it, even if it's not the mysterious man's horcrux, it's not a good thing. But I'm [-]% sure that the curse was cast by the mysterious man."

After all, he was also Voldemort's most beloved subordinate back then, so Snape should not be too familiar with Voldemort's magic.

"You'd better not cast spells on this cabinet at will, he will fight back." Seeing Rian leaning towards the cabinet, Snape reminded.

"Can you undo this curse?"

Hearing Snape's words, Lean simply didn't go there, and ran to Snape's side to ask.

"I need time."

After all, he is Voldemort's beloved subordinate, so he still has this ability.

but···
time!time!Why do I have to wait!
Snape kept roaring in his heart, his sallow face began to slowly congest and turn red, his empty and emotionless pupils also began to be filled with tyranny, and the black mist on his left hand penetrated into Snape's palm in an instant inside.

"Not good." Seeing Snape in this situation, Lean instantly understood that the remnant spirit of Voldemort in the Horcrux was trying to control Snape.
