Chapter 121 Tom, can always come up with something
As a descendant of Slytherin, Gunter, one of the twenty-eight pure blood families, is considered a grandfather of his ancestors.
But their family is not very smart and is famous for their restlessness and violence.
The reason is very simple:
The pure blood family attaches great importance to bloodlines, and the Gaunt family is especially so.
In order to maintain the pure family lineage, Gunter often chooses to marry his own family members.
Not only that, they even encouraged this behavior, and even had "German orthopedics" and were proud of it.
A history of the Gunter family is a history of incest, which is not an exaggeration at all.
Long-term marriage of close relatives also led to the wizards of the Gunter family having a bad temper.
This personality trait is more prominent from generation to generation. They lack rationality and especially like luxurious pomp.
Therefore, as early as a hundred years ago, the family's property accumulated by nearly a thousand years was squandered and completely became a dilapidated house.
The huge family is proud of inbreeding and has also declined due to inbreeding.
Standing at the door of the broken room, William was still squinting his eyes and carefully observing the Ourobosnake door knocker.
The door knocker looked worn, but it gave William a very uncomfortable feeling.
Dumbledore didn't say anything and waited for him to observe.
William's wand void was clicked and said cautiously: "There is a strong curse on it. If you touch it casually, you will be killed directly..."
"That's right." Dumbledore exclaimed: "The difference between looking and observing is very obvious.
Many wizards do not have this ability.
William, you have gone far in the realm of magic.”
"Professor, this door knocker is the key to our entry. But the curse is not my professional field. Can you crack it?"
William was best at alchemy and ancient magical scriptures, and he studied very little in curses.
However, some time ago, I often saw Hermione holding the Book of Curses that he borrowed from the forbidden area and secretly researching it, but I don’t know who she wanted to curse.
But it doesn't matter, Hermione will not curse him...
William still has this little confidence.
Dumbledore observed the door knocker and shook his head: "Tom likes things with curses. Those Horcruxes, in a sense, are also curses.
He definitely doesn't want others to enter this old house easily, and he casts a lot of spells on it."
"If I were given a little longer, it might be able to completely crack it, but we are now in a hurry..."
William pondered for a moment and analyzed: "Tom left the door knocker, it was impossible to just kill the wizard who was approaching."
"He may occasionally have to go in and check his big baby, which means that this door knocker can open the door of the house, and it probably requires a special password..."
"Snake man!" William's eyes lit up.
"Yes." Dumbledore smiled: "This is obviously a reference to the design of the secret room.
Tom is Slytherin's heir, so he naturally wants to show this to others.
Even if he doesn't think that someone can find a secret room, let alone find it."
Saltering tribute to Slytherin... Whether it is Voldemort or Tom, you can always come up with some new tricks!
Neither William nor Dumbledore can be a snail accent, but... Harry is a tool guy.
William took out an Oxford dictionary from the safety table and looked it up carefully.
Last semester, William was idle and asked Harry to read it in the Oxford dictionary in a serpentant manner, and encode it according to the dictionary page number.
William collected a lot of high-frequency words and beautiful sentences, all stored in the crystal ball.
Even Harry had to record some of Zuan's quotes.
Just to be useful when one day when you are tied with Voldemort.
When Voldemort heard the Snake-Accented version of "I am your father", I wonder if he would be happy.
William quickly found what he wanted.
"Open the door!" Harry's hissing sound came from the crystal ball.
The Ourobosnake's eyes flashed for a moment, and suddenly came alive, turning into a living creature that looked like a snake monster.
It swam out, spit out a silver key, held it in its mouth, raised its little head, and shook its tail at William like a credit.
William took the silver key but failed to find the door lock.
"I think..." Dumbledore said suddenly. "We still have to pay a price to find the door lock."
"The price?" William said, "you have to give this snake something?"
"Yes," Dumbledore said, "if I'm not mistaken, it's blood."
"Blood?"
"Yes, Tom wants visitors to enter in a way that weakens himself," Dumbledore said.
"It's really low-level, Tom never grew up in his life."
His tone was filled with contempt and even disappointment, as if Voldemort had failed to meet his expected standards.
"Voldemort never understood that there are many things that are more terrible than physical damage."
For example, the life of the person you love the most?
William shrugged.
At this point, Death God is very smart. He needs two brothers to obtain the Deathly Hallows!
Dumbledore took out a fruit knife from somewhere.
“…”
William seriously doubted whether the principal was carrying bananas and other items with him.
What a fruit monster!
Dumbledore was about to touch his wrist when William stopped him, "Wait...Professor."
"What's wrong?" Dumbledore said in confusion, "William, are you going to use your blood?"
"No!" William waved his hand quickly and took out a small bottle from the safety table.
"I have fresh snake monster blood, I wonder if it can be used?"
William's tone was like he had just squeezed milk in the morning and forgot to drink it.
Well, these bloods are only released in the morning. A few days later, wake up the snake monster, take some blood, and then let it continue to sleep... This has become a habit.
William felt that if the snake monster didn't release blood every few days, it would feel uncomfortable, right?
"If it doesn't work, I have dragon blood, the blood of the spirit cat, the blood of the eight-eyed giant spider, the blood of the Lu Wei... all kinds of flavors are available, there is always one suitable for it, right?"
“…”
As it turns out, door knockers are not that particular, as long as they contain magical blood, they can do it.
William chose the most valuable eight-eyed giant spider blood and sprinkled it on the door knocker.
The blood turned into spots and penetrated into the door ring, turning into a door lock.
Dumbledore inserted the key inside and twisted it gently.
With a creaking sound, the door was opened.
The two walked in.
The house was covered with thick darkness, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Two magic wands light up at the same time.
The old house in Gunter is indescribable with thick spider webs on the ceiling and a pile of rusty pots on the table.
The ground was dark and covered in dust.
There is also a row of...footprints!
The footprints seem to be quite short, and there is dust again, but the thickness is not as deep as the two sides.
"It seems that someone has come one step ahead of us." Dumbledore's expression was not very good.
The house has three small rooms, the large room in the middle doubles as a kitchen and living room, and two other doors lead to another room.
The two followed their footprints and walked towards one of the rooms.
After entering, William was stunned.
