Admiral of Hogwarts

After briefly greeting a few people present, Dumbledore immediately turned his attention to the matter of calling him and asked directly.

"You said that you found a locket of Slytherin relics that was hidden by Voldemort using various mechanisms, and you all thought that this box could not be harmed? Can you let me take a look at that box?"

"This is it." Hugo handed the locket to Dumbledore and then added. "Veneto told me that the locket reminded her somewhat of the tiara she found last time."

"Got it." Dumbledore nodded with a serious face, took out his wand, and used magic to levitate the locket in the air. Then he pointed the wand at the locket and began to cast spells.

Streams of golden-red flames spurted out from the head of his wand, eventually forming a phantom of a phoenix spinning around the locket.

Ten seconds later, the locket was completely wrapped in golden-red flames and formed an artificial sun in the sky. Dumbledore began to slowly spit out unfamiliar pronunciations one after another.

As Hugo, who had learned rune magic before, he quickly heard that the magic used by Dumbledore was a variant of rune magic in the UK, Celtic runes. It was the traditional interpretation of Merlin by the famous archmage Merlin. Runes have been localized and improved.

Compared with authentic rune magic, this kind of rune is easier to learn and less selective in its users. However, the price of getting started is that it is difficult to master it.

Therefore, now it is mainly those who make magic props who learn some simple Celtic runes for production. Only top wizards like Dumbledore will conduct in-depth research on this kind of magic.

As the spell was recited, traces of black smoke emerged from the locket, and at the same time some unpleasant sounds were made. After seeing this, Dumbledore waved away the flames surrounding the locket, and then reached out to take the locket.

"Hugo, your feeling is correct. This is indeed another Horcrux of Voldemort." At this point, Dumbledore looked helpless.

"The difference from the last crown is that the core of this Horcrux is hidden in Slytherin's locket, the carrier of the Horcrux, instead of being intertwined with the carrier."

"So what we are facing now is the dual protection of Slytherin and Voldemort, which is much stronger than the magic defense last time. Naturally, such protection is difficult to open directly with brute force."

"But it's not without its benefits." Dumbledore said after seeing that what he said seemed to shock everyone.

"Because the two sides are not entangled, we only need to break the outer layer of defense to deal with the soul inside. It is much easier than dealing with the soul on the crown last time."

"In this case, the situation will be much better." Veneto nodded at this time and said. "You don't know that the souls and Horcruxes that were entangled last time were too troublesome to deal with."

"Professor, what is a Horcrux?" After listening to the exchange between Dumbledore and Veneto, Harry asked curiously, because he had never heard of such a thing.

"This is a very evil magic item." Dumbledore said after being stunned for a few seconds. He felt that since Voldemort had been resurrected, there were things he should tell Harry.

"Voldemort put a piece of his soul into something through murder, and this thing is called a Horcrux, so that even if he is killed, he can be reborn through this thing."

After a brief explanation, Dumbledore turned his energy back to the Horcrux, and at the same time asked: "What kind of magic do you think Voldemort will hide in it?"

"Since this is a Slytherin locket, the magic on it should also be related to Slytherin. For example, if you want to open it, you must use certain skills that only Shrek Zero can master." Hugo thought. Said after a moment.

"You mean Parseltongue?" Dumbledore reacted immediately.

"It's very possible, and the mysterious man also masters this language. He may have chosen to use this thing as his Horcrux after discovering this." Hugo said in a conjecture tone what he had mastered information.

"Your analysis should be correct." Dumbledore nodded. "But the problem is that wizards who can speak Parseltongue are hard to find."

"I remember Harry should know it. He once said that he had a conversation with a python before entering school." Hugo said.

"Yes, I released a python in the zoo because of a magic riot in the summer before first grade, and I also heard the basilisk talking when I was in second grade."

"Ah, yes, I remembered it. You seemed to have told me about this matter. Unfortunately, I am old and I didn't think of this at all." After being told this, Dumbledore immediately remembered this matter. Then said.

"If that's the case, Harry, you can come over and try. But it's better for others to go downstairs now. It's not that the more people, the better. Voldemort is good at deceiving people. I'm worried that too many people here may have a negative impact." Negative effects."

So most of the people, including the house elf, all withdrew. Only Hugo was left behind by the principal, who was preparing to use alchemy to build some barriers.

Before going downstairs, Veneto looked at his admiral nervously, while Hugo gave him a reassuring smile.

After all, according to the situation in the original text, the most powerful part of the Horcrux is its strange attack on the souls of all the people around it, but this has no effect on Hugo who has the admiral network.

"It's nice to be young, isn't it?" Dumbledore's voice came from behind. He had just winked at Hugo after placing the locket on a broken cabinet. "Okay, let's get started. Do you need anything else to prepare?"

"Yes, Professor, this does require some preparation work." Hugo said, taking out the box of materials he had prepared before cleaning the decorative cabinet, and then drew runes one after another around the cabinet.

"These runes are used to defend against various soul impacts. Considering that the biggest feature of Horcruxes is to attack the souls of people around them, if there is such a defense, it will be safer when dealing with it."

"Yes, you made the right choice." Professor Dumbledore nodded, then took out his Elder Wand from his arms and pointed at the box. "Please step back for a while, I will use fierce fire to destroy the soul inside."

Because the Enterprise killed the basilisk in the second grade, there is no Gryffindor sword that absorbed the basilisk's venom, so that sword cannot cause damage to the Horcrux now.

However, as the most powerful white wizard recognized in Europe, Dumbledore obviously also mastered many powerful black magics, such as Fire and the Death Curse.

Although Professor Dumbledore would not use these magics in battles with humans for some reasons, he did not mind doing so when destroying Horcruxes.

"Yes, Principal Dumbledore." Hugo said, taking out a long box from the box, and then took out a dagger ground from bone, "I also have something here that can deal with Horcruxes. It’s available if needed.”
