Chapter 184 Little Hangleton
"Why did we come to Greater Hangleton?" Weiss asked impatiently as soon as his feet were firmly planted on the ground.

"Little Hangleton is the place where the Gaunt family has lived for generations." Dumbledore introduced to Weiss as he walked slowly: "General magic families will set up certain defensive magic, let alone ancient magic families. , even if it has decayed, there is no way to apparate directly into it."

"Are we going to attack from the front?" Weiss was eager to try a lot of defensive magic.

"...We can choose some 'smart' methods." Dumbledore obviously paused, turned his head to look at Weiss, and shook his head slightly.

"Smart way?" Weiss continued to wonder.

"For example, the alchemy array you are best at, use it to understand some defensive magic and break it." Dumbledore drew a circle in the air, and added a few lines at random: "Or, we can look for the time in the infinite The 'loophole' that appears under the magic of solution."

"I have never noticed the defensive magic of Hogwarts and my castle." Weiss shook his head again and again, indicating that the first method would not work.

"This is because their original owner's design was very clever, allowing them to blend with the castle and nature, and not only their defensive magic, you have not noticed all the defensive magic in your teacher's small house. Dumbledore patted Wes on the shoulder with a smile: "So for most wizards, an empty magic family house is also a treasure that can improve their magic level."

"I hope I can come across such an empty house." Weiss said longingly after hearing this.

"Hehehe, don't you already have one? Besides, you and Hermione also have another one, don't you?" Dumbledore smiled and winked at Wes: "Flame's hut is very cozy."

"Really?" Weiss wondered, because he felt nothing but sadness from that hut.

"Yes, you need to experience it with your heart." Dumbledore put on his robe with a smile: "Let's go."

"Oh, hopefully."

……

They walked on a country road that was almost covered by weeds, and passed through a tangled bush forest. Dumbledore stopped at a fork in the road. He was staring at a stump-like thing and thinking, Weiss looked up and saw that it was like a wooden road sign, but the text on it was blurred due to the wind, frost, rain and dew.

"Left." Dumbledore said affirmatively after thinking for a long time.

"There are thorns over there, let me go ahead." Seeing that the thorn bushes on both sides of the path had already grown wildly, and the path was covered in all directions, Weiss couldn't help but said, and then subconsciously touched the sorting hat above his head.

"Hehehe, thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, but until my old bones can move, I will lead you." Dumbledore said with a smile, Wes didn't see him move, The thorn bushes that covered the path were automatically arranged on both sides, revealing a larger intersection and a winding path.

The night breeze was blowing, and unknown insects sang beside the two of them. They dragged their long wizard robes 'rustling' and walked on the path already covered with weeds. Weiss looked down, and he was sure that if If it wasn't for Dumbledore's leading the way, he must not have been able to notice the so-called 'road' under his feet.

Unknowingly, the two stood on a hillside, and Weiss looked at a valley not far away: "Professor, there is a valley in which is Little Hangleton?"

"Yes, it is here, but our goal is not here." Dumbledore looked at the village not far away, it was quiet and serene: "Let's go down."

"Professor, look at that." After the two walked down the hill, Weiss pointed sensitively and somewhat uncertainly at an old manor on the hill not far away: "I feel like there is magic there." Mark of."

Dumbledore glanced at the words, nodded and said, "It's obviously a wizard's house too. Its magic barrier is the same as it was a long time ago, and it is weakening day by day. In a few years, the Muggle Repelling Curse will be destroyed." It is completely ineffective, and the reason why you are aware of it is probably because the outermost barrier that isolates magic fluctuations has almost dissipated."

"Let's go in and take a look?" Weiss said enthusiastically, "According to what you said, there may be treasures inside! And it's not lit, so there must be no one there!"

"Weiss, we are here to look for possible Horcruxes." Dumbledore held Weiss who was about to rush over and persuaded softly.

"I always feel like I've lost a treasure trove." Weiss pouted his lips and said expectantly: "If we move faster, can we go there before the sun comes out?"

"Of course." Dumbledore agreed with a smile.

"That's great! Hurry up! Speed ​​up! Let's speed up!" Weiss immediately nodded seriously and urged.

"Don't worry, don't worry, we still have time, you have to forgive the old man." Dumbledore stroked his white beard with a smile, and stepped into a fork in the road at a steady pace.

……

"This is it." Dumbledore nodded as he looked at the crumbling cabin in the forest.

"Are you sure? I didn't feel any trace of magic?" Weiss closed his eyes and felt it carefully, but as time went by, his brows became more and more wrinkled.

"Hehehe, it can't be wrong, you feel carefully behind the snake skin." Dumbledore stroked his white beard and clicked a position at random: "Do you feel the nodes of the defensive magic circle?"

"Is there?" Weiss looked at the dried snake skin with his eyes unblinking, and when the wrinkles between his brows were about to kill a fly, they suddenly stretched out, and then his voice was slightly excited. Then it rang: "Fire element! There is a smell of fire element on the door!"

"Fire element? Hehehe, you can also put it this way, it is a solidified flame trap." Dumbledore was taken aback for a moment, but then nodded to confirm Weiss' thoughts.

"Then I'm going?" Weiss rolled up the sleeve of his left arm, looked at Dumbledore and asked for instructions.

"No, don't worry, do you feel what's on the ground in the entrance?" Dumbledore smiled and pressed Wes's shoulder, pointing to the wooden board of the entrance below the gate.

"...No?" Weiss looked at it carefully for a while before saying uncertainly.

"There is a swamp trap in the soil under the plank. I'm afraid it will be triggered as soon as you stand on it, and then you may have to face the explosion of the flame trap at the door." Although Dumbledore found another defensive magic, but His tone became more and more happy: "It seems that we have found the right thing."

"Indeed, no one would use several consecutive defensive spells to guard a dilapidated empty room." Weiss squatted down, looking for the 'swamp trap' that Dumbledore said with difficulty through the cracks in the broken porch.

"Let's go, let's go around it." Dumbledore patted Weiss, who was still squatting on the shoulder, and motioned him to follow: "By the way, set up a magic barrier, after all, it's still too close to that Muggle village. .”

"It's late at night, shouldn't it be necessary?" Weiss got up and followed Dumbledore's slow 'walk'.

"Hehehe, it's just convenient. Besides, I don't want to be discovered by the Ministry of Magic. After all, a trial or something is too difficult for an old man, isn't it?" Dumbledore said with a smile while arranging the place casually Down a few magic barriers.

"Oh, but don't you think you have arranged a little too much?" Weiss looked at the hut covered by the three magic barriers arranged by Dumbledore in these few short sentences with black lines.

"Hehehe, if it's Tom in my memory, he will definitely use some powerful defensive magic, which will be very conspicuous." Dumbledore continued to slowly 'walk' while laying down a few magic barriers .

"My treasure is going to slip away..." Weiss was still thinking about it, full of longing for the empty house.
