Chapter 516 514. The missing gold cup
In the deepest vault of Gringotts.
Of course, there is also an extremely powerful anti-apparition magic as a barrier here. In addition to the wizard's apparation, even the special magic of the house-elf can resist it.
But the specific apparition of the phoenix was not included as well.
In addition to the fact that it is more difficult to crack the apparition of the phoenix, the main reason is that in the entire magic world, there is only one phoenix in the whole magic world that can obey the orders of wizards, Dumbledore.
And if Dumbledore wants to infiltrate Gringotts, it makes the same difference to him with or without the help of the Phoenix.
So Gringotts did not take any precautions against this at all, which led Jon to come into it very easily.
According to the information that Dumbledore helped him determine, he quickly found the door of the vault belonging to the Lestrange family. It was protected by special protective magic, and it could not be opened by conventional means without the corresponding key to the vault. , but this is not difficult for Jon at all.
He directly touched the door of the vault itself with the ring-wearing hand. In the next second, all the magic power attached to the door was absorbed, and the entire door of the vault disappeared.
Because the door itself is made of magic.
What appeared before Jon was a hole stuffed from floor to ceiling with gold coins and goblets, silver armor, the skins of exotic animals with spines or wings, and monsters in vases. medicine, and a skull that still wears a crown.
Facing these rare treasures, Jon didn't even blink his eyes. He just stretched out his hand and waved his fingers lightly. Without him touching at all, all the things in the entire vault floated up!
They floated past Jon's eyes in a line like soldiers under review, and then gathered again in the center of the treasure house.
In less than 10 minutes, he had checked everything here, but none of them was anything like the golden cup he had seen in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts Castle. .
It took some time to re-search, and Jon searched a second time, but the result was still the same.
Thus, his face became completely ugly.
Sure enough, just as he guessed at the beginning, the newly appeared Voldemort was an accident with a certain Horcrux, and now it can be confirmed that the Horcrux in question is Hufflepuff's golden cup.
The bad news is that the last horcrux that can be solved directly is now missing. The good news is that at least the Voldemort in this world has nothing to do with the original Voldemort.
This made the task of destroying the Horcruxes, which Jon thought could be done easily, began to become complicated.
From the Death Eaters they encountered today, it can be seen that Voldemort in the golden cup has already started to act. If he wants to gather his men, it cannot be done in a day or two. How long have you been away.
Thinking of this, Jon thought about it, and then he simply dealt with the protection magic on the treasures in the vault, and then directly emptied the treasure house of the Lestrange family and put it in the pocket with the traceless stretching spell.
No matter how precious it is, Jon actually doesn’t lack these things, but he has some conflicts with people surnamed Lestrange, no matter which world Lestrange is.
After doing this, he used Apparition, but did not immediately go back to find Dumbledore and Harry, but returned to a hidden street in Diagon Alley, where he changed his identity and returned to the ancient world. In Ling Pavilion.
Soon, relying on the unheated treasures of the Lestrange family, he told the goblins that he wanted to rent a vault with a very high level of protection. Of course, these goblins who are open to money will serve him well. A big client, the goblin supervisor who had just received Dumbledore to the No. 713 vault met Jon again in a private room, and wanted to confirm with him whether to buy insurance for his vault, and at the same time rent and lease age and so on.
Jon responded with a few words casually. After confirming that there was no other means of monitoring and listening in this room, he immediately used the Imperius Curse on the goblin.
Obviously, Jon has no obsession with black magic and cleanliness. Although he seldom uses the Unforgivable Curse after listening to Lily's words, he will not be stingy when he needs to use these spells.
The goblin became Jon's puppet and let him do it.
The goblin was silent for a moment, and then under the control of the Imperius Curse, the body naturally answered Jon's question.
"Billa, sir, he was the last person to examine the protection magic in the Lestrange vault."
"Where is he now?"
"He disappeared."
Jon frowned.
"When did this happen?"
"After last Christmas."
The goblin said like a puppet.
After hearing the time, Jon was taken aback for a moment, and soon he asked again.
"Is this also when he inspected the vault?"
"It was the day after Christmas, which is the annual vault inventory."
After getting this answer, Jon pondered for a long time, and after taking a deep breath, he didn't intend to stay any longer. The Imperius Curse on the goblin would be lifted by itself in a short time, and he directly used Apparition Back to Dumbledore and Harry.
Meeting the eyes of the two, Jon said bluntly.
"The golden cup was not found. I found something from the goblin. The person who ordered the two Death Eaters to go to Gaunt's old house to find the ring today is most likely Voldemort in the missing golden cup."
His words stunned Harry, who murmured.
"So... Voldemort is really back?"
Dumbledore was lost in thought, and his blue eyes met Jon's.
"If there is something wrong with the Horcrux, why is it at this time, when you and Lily appeared in this world?"
Jon shook his head.
"It's not this time. The time when the gold cup really went wrong should have been half a year ago, that is, a few days after Christmas last year. And in those few days, many major events happened in the world where Professor Potter and I lived. I Suspected to be connected with these things."
Dumbledore asked.
"What a big deal."
Jon said calmly.
"On Christmas night, Voldemort from two different worlds merged together."
Harry took a breath, and Dumbledore's face became more serious.
"Then I killed the fused Voldemort once. He should be resurrected for the first time with the Horcrux of this world."
The 4,000 missions end today, and this number will start tomorrow
