Chapter 565 Voldemort: Where Is My Horcrux? Where Is My Huge Horcrux?
"How much did this entire set of equipment cost?" Dumbledore asked.
Although Blake didn't take the initiative to mention it, Dumbledore had to mention it.
Because these mirror monitoring systems most likely use the same principle as a double-sided mirror.
Double-sided mirrors are notoriously expensive......
As the principal, he can't let Blake pay for this kind of thing at his own expense!
"Oh, don't worry about that." Blake waved his hand.
These materials were obtained by opening treasure chests over many years, but they really didn’t cost a penny.
Moreover, as Blake becomes more and more famous now, he can get a lot of low-level treasure chests every day.
He saved all these low-level treasure boxes because after testing, it was only in these low-level treasure boxes that the probability of materials appearing was greatest.
If these low-level treasure chests were all used to synthesize, it would be a big mistake if there was a shortage of alchemy materials later.
For the sake of caution, some strategic reserves must be left.
After all, many materials that are already extremely rare in this world can be easily found in treasure chests.
"No, you have to give me a number. I can't let you bear this yourself." Dumbledore still insisted.
Is there any reason to let children pay for things?
Even if Blake is not short of money, then Dumbledore still wants to save face!
"Uh..." Blake made it directly from the materials. How could he have thought about how much it was worth? "Why don't we calculate this after we finish our work?"
"Okay, don't forget it." Dumbledore looked at the surveillance mirror on the wall again.
"Well, professor, you won't blame me for using these things, after all... this does damage everyone's privacy..."
"One-five-zero" "No, Blake, this is very important to Hogwarts. With these things, at least [I don't have to worry about every student having a bad guy to cause trouble..." Dumbledore said helplessly.
In fact, if it were Dumbledore before, he would definitely feel that it was not a good idea to do this, but now...
Almost every school year comes up with something big, and then he worries about it endlessly...
If there had been this monitoring room a few years ago, why wouldn't he need to be so worried?
Besides, what does it mean to sacrifice a little bit of personal privacy for the benefit of everyone?
"I will find a new place to set up a surveillance room later. Of course, I will not use the surveillance room at will... unless something happens." Dumbledore said.
"Hmm... I will also upgrade the functions of these surveillance mirrors in the future. I think if they all have the same playback function as those ten gold galleons telescopes in the World Cup... ..
Dumbledore's eyes suddenly lit up, "In this way, if something happens, we can also look at the playback of the surveillance mirror to restore what happened at that time!"
"That's right! That's right!" Blake nodded.
Surveillance devices that can record videos seem to have appeared in the Muggle world now.
Therefore, it is the same if it is directly applied to the wizarding world.
Blake already had an idea at this time, and he had many intelligence organization house elves under his command.
In addition to spreading out to serve as eyes and ears, there are still many idle workers working and training in factories in space.
If he quietly placed such surveillance mirrors throughout the wizarding world... would he be able to replicate a complete Sky Eye system?
Just let the free house elves observe.
By then, Blake's intelligence system will be truly pervasive.
Otherwise, like now, at most Blake can only know the information of the place where the house elves exist.
Dumbledore sighed, "Blake, with this set of alchemical products... Hogwarts can truly be regarded as the safest place in the wizarding world."
Five minutes later, after Blake taught Dumbledore how to use these monitoring mirrors, they left the Room of Requirement.
Dumbledore will move the equipment inside later.
And now, they have an urgent thing to do.
Their first task now is to find out what happened to Snape.
Go to Spinner's End to scout and see if Voldemort and others are still hiding in Snape's house.
Maybe they can get some clues about what happened to Snape there...
"We have to find out what happened before Friday, otherwise..." Blake said as he walked.
"Well, Friday is Harry's Potions class, right?" Dumbledore said, "I'll keep an eye on Severus, and at the critical moment... I'll find a way to put your medicine into the potion..." "Professor, are you sure?" Blake asked worriedly. "Haha, I certainly have a way. " Dumbledore said with a smile.
Snape's father is a Muggle, so his home is actually located in a Muggle neighborhood.
And this Muggle neighborhood is called Spinner's End, a dirty neighborhood.
If there were no creepy black magic items beside the street.
This place is no different from Knockturn Alley.
Of course, this place may also be called Knockturn Alley II in the Muggle world.
When Dumbledore and Blake appeared here, they both wore black cloaks specially designed by Blake.
This black cloak can greatly reduce their presence. People can't see their faces under the cloak clearly.
Muggles will not be aware of their existence, even if they pass by them, they will not notice them.
As for wizards...it is normal for a few dark wizards to appear in such a place.
After all, no one would associate the two guys in black cloaks in front of them with the headmaster and new professor of Hogwarts.
Dumbledore tightened his black cloak in confusion.
In fact, he had lived an upright life, but this was the first time he had hidden his identity in such a hidden way...
However, considering that this reconnaissance must not be exposed, Dumbledore had to do this.
"There is no breath of those creatures around." Blake said softly.
"Yeah." Dumbledore also found it. He did not find any magical fluctuations similar to Dracula in this street.
Originally, they thought that this alley had been filled with vampire spies.
Dumbledore knew the location of Snape's house, so he took the lead and led the way.
However, they were soon disappointed. Snape's house was empty!
"No wonder there is no one here to follow." Blake said: "It turns out that they all left."
"Well... This is also in line with Tom's cautious character. After all, once Severus fails, this place will be the first thing we think of... Dumbledore said softly.
"Shall we go in and take a look?"
"Okay."
After carefully checking the surroundings and finding that there was no one around...or rather, there were no other wizards.
They just broke into Snape's house.
After searching for a while, Blake suddenly said: "Maybe they haven't been away for long... The teapot is still hot."
Dumbledore frowned, "It seems we are indeed a step late..."
"Where do you think Tom will go if he leaves here?" Blake asked.
Dumbledore's blue eyes flashed with wisdom, "He must want to be resurrected at any time now, so... He will choose a place that can resurrect him in time. For example... .Old Tom’s ancestral home and Old Tom’s bones are also in that place.”
"Professor... In fact, Tom Feng's skeleton has disappeared... I just came to see it not long ago."
"Is that so..." Dumbledore thought for a while, and then said: "No matter what, we will go and have a look... If they are not in Old Tom's ancestral home, I think he might Go back to the Gaunt family's ancestral home. After all, based on my understanding of Tom, he must go back to see if his Horcrux is still there."
"Then I think he must be very surprised..." Blake smiled.
"No! Impossible!" Voldemort's hoarse voice sounded in Gaunt's old house. "How could something be missing?"
After Bella temporarily lifted several curses according to his method, she did not find the Gaunt ring that should have been inside!
Both Bella and Barty looked at the frantic Voldemort with a little confusion.
Because they didn't know what Voldemort had lost! They were so angry that they were like this...
Of course, only Voldemort himself knows what he lost!
What he lost was his own life! A life worthy of the name!
Combined with the golden cup that Bella lost before, that's two lives!
Of course his Horcrux couldn't be thrown away for no reason! Someone must have taken it away!
So who took away his Horcrux?
Is it Dumbledore? He discovered my secret?
Or... is it Grindelwald who knew my true identity after seeing my gold cup?
A long-lost feeling of fear surged into Voldemort's heart again, that was the fear of death...
Just when Voldemort was guessing.
Bella suddenly said: "Master, there is writing here!"
"Let me see!" Voldemort said angrily. He had a hunch that this trace of learning must have been left by that shameful thief!
"......"..........
"I said, show me!" Voldemort ordered.
Bella had no choice but to hold Voldemort so that he could see clearly the beard in the cabinet where the ring was originally stored.
I saw a line of familiar fonts written on the door of the cabinet.
"Are you surprised? Are you surprised? I took the things. Guess who I am?————B.G"
"Ah..." If this body wasn't too weak and lacked vitality, Voldemort would have been so angry that he would have vomited blood.
B.G? And this familiar font!
Who else but that bastard Blake Green?!
"Blake Green! Traitor! Shameful traitor! I'm going to kill you!"
Barty Jr. and Bella looked at each other, is it Blake Green again?
How could that young man make his always confident and proud master so angry?
At this time, Blake, who was still rushing to Old Tom's ancestral home, suddenly stopped.
Because he heard a special system broadcast in his mind.
"Ding! An extremely angry emotion was detected!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting a silver treasure chest!"
Apart from Voldemort, there should be no one who could be extremely angry with him at this moment.
Of course Blake knew what he had done in the old Gaunt's ancestral home, so it was normal for Voldemort to be "extremely angry".
But...it's just a silver treasure chest? No, no...that's it? That's the Dark Lord?
Although he knew that Voldemort might not be able to explode the treasure chest in his current state, Blake still had expectations for it because of his identity as the Dark Lord.
The worst thing is, there is always a golden treasure chest, right?
...
Silver treasure chest? That’s it?
"Professor, I think I know where Tom and the others are." Blake smiled: "Some of the secret alchemy alarms I set up in Gaunt's old house were triggered."
Blake couldn't say that he knew it through the system, so he had to use the alchemy items as an excuse again.
However, considering that Blake had just built an amazing surveillance system, Dumbledore had no doubts.
"So, my guess is correct! Let's go and have a look near Gunter's old house... If they are really there, I will try my best to make preparations..." Dumbledore muttered.
Finding Voldemort's location and making preparations around it was the last resort.
Dumbledore still hoped to solve Snape's problem at Hogwarts, and then directly eliminate the unresurrected Voldemort.
Otherwise...should we just rush in and kill Voldemort and the others?
Dumbledore shook his head. He would never make this choice unless absolutely necessary.
God knows if they will kill Snape 3.5 first before they are killed...
Thinking about it this way, it would be safer to use some tricks in the resurrection materials for the devil!
Dumbledore still believed in Blake's potion skills.
At that time, even if a Voldemort with residual health is resurrected, it will be nothing.
A moment later, the two of them appeared in the woods two hundred meters away from Gunter's old house under the Illusion Curse.
Blake took out two telescopes from his pocket and used magic to make them transparent before handing them to Dumbledore next to him.
Soon, they used telescopes to discover Bella who had arranged concealment magic at the door of Gunter's old house.
Since Bella was here, there was no doubt that Voldemort was also in the house.
"I'm looking for someone to keep an eye on this place," Blake said.
"Who are you looking for? This mission is too important. Once exposed, it will alert others..." Dumbledore was a little embarrassed.
It's impossible not to keep an eye on this place, but if you want someone to keep an eye on you, you're afraid of being discovered. After all, Voldemort has those elusive and mysterious creatures around him...
"It's okay, I'll find someone who has a legitimate reason to wander around to do it. Like...a newly freed house elf."
"You mean... the elf named Dobby from the Malfoy family?"
"Well, yes, Dobby is a house elf. Tom and the others have always turned a blind eye to this race. They will not pay attention to this kind of creature. They probably won't pay much attention... Even if Dobby is discovered, then He won’t alert others, he is an elf who has lost his job, and no matter where he appears, it is reasonable, isn’t it?”
"Then... would Dobby agree?" Dumbledore asked.
Blake grinned and said: "Yes, as long as we pay him a salary..."
