The transfer student at Hogwarts just wants to fall in love [continued]

Chapter 347 Tacit understanding

In the reception room, Sebastian placed the tea in front of Ciel.

Looking at the empty desk in front of Mo Bai, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at him deeply.

"I'm sorry, but it's a dereliction of duty to neglect our guests."

Sebastian bowed slightly and poured another cup of tea for Mo Bai.

Xiaer stared at Mo Bai with his deep blue eyes.

"You look very poorly. It seems that killing Dumbledore must have cost you a lot."

Mo Bai picked up the teacup and looked back calmly.

"Do you think so?"

Charles put down his teacup.

"I guess I should think so."

Mo Bai smiled, "Looks like we still have something to talk about."

If the person in front of him really has only this level of ability, then he can just turn around and leave.

"You want to see me if you have something to do?"

Mo Bai raised his eyebrows, "Can't I just come and chat with my old friends?"

"You are surrounded by enemies right now. Why don't you hide in this situation and come out to find me? Who would believe me if you say you are fine?"

Ciel pouted.

"Besides, we don't seem to be that familiar with each other."

"You're just mad that I grow faster than you, right?"

Xia Er, who has always been 1.52 meters tall, stared at Mo Bai, who is the same age as him but 1.8 meters tall.

"Talk about something!"

Mo Bai suppressed his laughter and took out the pendant box from his arms.

"I would like to ask your butler to help me find some clues about this kind of thing."

"This is……"

Ciel was well-informed about the intelligence of the magical world, but he knew nothing about the practical things.

He turned to look at Sebastian.

"This is a kind of magic of wizards, called Horcrux..." The deacon gave the young master a brief introduction to Horcruxes.

Ciel nodded, "So you want to kill the owner of this Horcrux?"

"That's about right," Mo Bai shrugged.

"This is Voldemort's Horcrux."

Charles' expression suddenly became more serious.

"And this is just one of his many Horcruxes. According to the information I have obtained, he has three similar items scattered around. They are all related to his life or are extremely valuable treasures."

"I understand."

Ciel picked up the locket and handed it to the butler.

"Sebastian, how long will it take you?"

The dark butler placed one hand on his chest, "My Lord, half an hour will be enough."

After saying this, the figure instantly disappeared into the air.

Mo Bai raised his eyebrows.

The devil is indeed very efficient.

"Now, let's talk about the payment. My information is not free."

"And let's settle the favor I owe you last time as well."

The first time Mo Bai looked for Charles, it led to the demise of the Ivo family. It was also at that time that he verbally owed the other party a favor.

"The reward this time and the favor that time, you are talking about the same thing, right?"

Mo Bai looked straight at Xia Er.

"I'm already doing that, right?"

The two looked at each other, and Xiaer found the answer he wanted to confirm in Mo Bai's eyes.

They both smiled at the same time.

"Want to play the next one?"

"of course."

Dobby looked at the two Riddlers and scratched his head in confusion.

When Sebastian returned to the reception room, Charles' pale skin was flushed and he was staring at the chess board in front of him. On the other side was Mo Bai with a calm smile on his face.

"Come again!"

"Your butler is back."

Turning to see Sebastian's teasing smile, Ciel took a deep breath.

"It's so slow."

"I'm sorry, young master. After all, he was from more than 60 years ago, and it's difficult to find the relevant personnel in the magic world."

The deacon handed the information and pendant box to Mo Bai.

"Tom Riddle was born into the Gaunt family. His father was a common man and his mother was a wizard."

"The Gaunt family has two heirlooms, one of which is this locket that once belonged to Salazar Slytherin."

Mo Bai was a little surprised.

This locket turned out to be Slytherin's relic.

"The other one is a family heirloom ring from the Gaunt family, inlaid with..."

At this point, the deacon showed a playful smile on his face, "The Resurrection Stone, one of the Three Deathly Hallows."

Then this is most likely one of the Horcruxes...

Mo Bai looked at him with interest, "Is the story of the Three Deathly Hallows true?"

"Who knows."

The devil replied.

"I also found out that Tom Riddle worked at Borgin and Burke's in Knockturn Alley after graduating from Hogwarts..."

"This locket was originally bought from the store by someone named Smith Hufflepuff."

"Afterwards, this descendant of Hufflepuff died a violent death, and at the same time, his ancestral Hufflepuff gold cup disappeared without a trace."

Mo Bai pondered.

Since the locket was made into a Horcrux by Voldemort, the golden cup must also be in Voldemort's hands.

Slytherin's locket, Hufflepuff's cup, and now Neville's sword of Gryffindor.

"Then I guess Ravenclaw must have some relics passed down through the ages, right?"

The deacon nodded.

"But I'm sorry that my ability is limited and I haven't found the whereabouts of Ravenclaw's relics..."

Mo Bai clicked his tongue.

In just half an hour, I was able to find something that an ordinary person would never be able to find in their entire life. This is not just about limited ability.

He finally understood why Merlin was willing to give up his soul to sign the contract, so that the devil could not take the initiative to attack the wizard.

This power is terrifying.

"However, I guess that the relic of Ravenclaw is most likely in..."

"Hogwarts."

Mo Bai added to his words.

"The only place you can't find it is probably Hogwarts, right?"

All signs indicate that Hogwarts is definitely more than just a school.

The deacon smiled but said nothing.

The chess piece rotated between Mo Bai's fingers.

It seems that he still has to go back to Hogwarts.

A few days later, Hermione received information from an undercover agent.

Mo Bai gave another order.

Some of them went to a small village in northern England.

Some people also lingered in the black markets of all sizes in the UK and bought a lot of cup-shaped magic items.

Another group of people attempted to sneak into Hogwarts, but all failed.

Hermione sat alone in her office analyzing the intelligence.

Mo Bai must be looking for Voldemort's Horcrux.

And given Mo Bai's laziness and his contempt for Voldemort, there was a 99% chance that this was not his intention.

She became more certain about Dumbledore's life or death.

Three waves of people, does that mean there are three Horcruxes?

But in her opinion, the second and third orders were simply stupid, regardless of whether they were useful or not, and were totally unlike something Mo Bai would do.

Then there is only one possibility.

This guy is sending out signals.

As for who it is for, is there any need to say?

Hermione snorted softly, stood up and left the room.

In Spinner's End, Snape looked at Hermione who suddenly appeared in surprise.

"Miss Hermione, no, now it should be Minister Hermione, what can I do for you?"

Hermione calmly found a place to sit down, "You don't have to be so wary of me. Dumbledore told me about you before he died."

Snape frowned.

"How much did you say?"

"Not too much."

Hermione smiled, "But he believes in your loyalty."

Snape looked serious.
