After all, the purpose of making Horcruxes is to prevent oneself from dying completely.

Carrying a Horcrux with you is a fool's errand.

But putting the Horcruxes in Hogwarts, Sirius couldn't understand.

It seemed to him purely suicidal.

It is normal to hand over Horcruxes to trustworthy subordinates. After all, Eric did find the locket from Black's old house before, and Sirius could not refute it.

Sirius was about to ask one more question, but the door to the Room of Requirement was wide open.

A spacious space full of various sundries unfolded in front of the two of them.The area here has far exceeded the scope of a room, more like a huge hall.

Various boxes, materials, clothing and other sundries piled up in piles, like hills one after another.

They looked beyond the pile of debris piled up like a hill and looked into the distance, only to find that there was no end to the wall.

As far as the eye can see, there are only piles of debris piled up one after another, piled up so high that it almost fills the entire space.There is no way to squeeze out a footprint, only a few narrow paths barely pass between the debris piles.

Seeing this scene, Sirius and Eric couldn't help but feel a sense of suffocation.

In this seemingly endless pile of debris, there may be hidden Horcruxes they are eager to find.

The two stepped into the spacious hall, which was filled with an ancient and solemn atmosphere.

The high dome is inlaid with full of candle lampposts, and the lights are sprinkled on the ground, illuminating the whole hall brightly and warmly.

Sirius stepped into the hall, his eyes searching the hall.

"You don't know that Voldemort used to study at Hogwarts, right?" At this moment, he heard Eric say so.

"What?!" Sirius was shocked, his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he heard, "When did it happen?"

Eric replied with a smile: "He used to be Dumbledore's student." A playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Sirius felt a little unbelievable, "Why don't I know?"

His jaw almost dropped.

Eric shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said with a smile: "He is the Dark Lord, so he must not let you know his true identity. Thinking about it from another angle, if you knew, then you would not be able to live until now, know Voldemort's identity and still be Those who are still alive are either too strong for Voldemort to kill him, or so cautious that even Voldemort can't find him."

Sirius couldn't help but wonder, "Then how did you know that?" His brows were furrowed, as if he doubted Eric's words.

"Dumbledore told me," Eric replied immediately.

Sirius stared at Eric suspiciously, "Really?"

There was a hint of doubt in his voice, not sure if he believed Eric's words at all.

"Well, really."

Sirius thought for a moment and finally put aside his doubts, "...So, based on this, you think he will hide his Horcrux in Hogwarts? But isn't he afraid of being discovered by Dumbledore?"

"There may be two reasons why he did this." Eric patiently explained, "The first is that according to the existing information, it is known that Voldemort must have started pursuing immortality and making Horcruxes when he was a teenager. .At that time, he was not the Dark Lord, and he was able to enter Hogwarts through normal channels, and he might not even have graduated. The second reason is that the most dangerous place is the safest."

Sirius fell into deep thought, he savored Eric's words silently, "...It makes sense to hear what you said, but I always feel that you are lying to me."

"Hehe, we will find out after looking for it. The other secret rooms and secret passages in Hogwarts cannot be hidden from us. I will hide the Horcrux in the castle, so there will only be one here." Eric pointed to one of the directions and said, "You look there, I'll look here."

Sirius looked at the items in the hall and his head was as big as a penny. He took out his wand and used a flying spell: "The Horcrux is flying."

There was no response, nothing answered his call.

Eric said: "Horcruxes are not ordinary items, and the Flying Curse is ineffective on them. Because they store the souls of wizards on them, you cannot use the Flying Curse on life with souls."

Eric looked around, the pile of debris in the hall felt oppressive and chaotic.

It was dusty and exuded an ancient smell, as if time had stood still here for many years.

His gaze fell on a corner, where there was a hill-like pile of sundries, seemingly disordered but with some kind of regularity.

Sirius followed Eric's gaze, a daze flashed in his eyes.Their task seemed to be like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the entire hall was what they were looking for, which made him feel at a loss.

Chapter 212 Ravenclaw's Crown!

However, Eric smiled slightly and said softly: "We need to focus on Voldemort's Horcruxes instead of being intimidated by these piles of debris. Remember, they are part of the Dark Lord and cannot be ordinary items. .”

Sirius said blankly: "Then how should we find it?"

He looked up at the pile of debris covering the entire hall, with a horrified expression: "Are we going to search every corner here?"

"Of course not." Eric said, "We actually have a goal."

Suddenly, Eric's attention was attracted by a glimmer of light. He walked towards the hill of debris and carefully used magic to remove an item from the top of the mountain.

It was a brooch, and its once gorgeous appearance had been ruined beyond recognition by the years.The rusty brooch exudes a heavy breath, as if carrying endless pain and darkness.

Eric smiled slightly and said softly: "What we are looking for is this type of item. They may have been forgotten, but their existence may be closely connected with Voldemort's soul."

Sirius was still puzzled.

Eric explained: "Voldemort is a very proud person, as I have said before. This kind of character helped him become one of the strongest wizards today, but it also brought disadvantages accordingly. Bear the brunt That is, he thinks he is a great person. And a great person should use great things, even Horcruxes, no exception."

Eric pushed the brooch in his hand, and the brooch floated in the air and flew in front of Sirius.

Sirius looked at the brooch carefully, feeling its ancient aura.The brooch was made of silver and gleamed faintly.The surface of the brooch is carved with exquisite patterns, as if it is a long story.

However, Sirius did not find anything special about the brooch.

"What's so special about this brooch?"

"Look at the bottom," Eric reminded.

Holding the brooch in front of his eyes, Sirius finally noticed the difference.

He carefully observed every detail of the brooch and noticed the name at the bottom of the brooch, Alice Sieg Gaunt.

The brooch is extremely old, judging from this, it should belong to an ancient member of the Gaunt family.

"This..." Sirius woke up, "The Gaunt family?"

"Yes, you finally found out." Eric looked at Sirius' expression and knew that he had realized the importance.He continued to explain: "The Gunter family is the descendants of Slytherin. They have passed on from generation to generation, trying to continue the power and legacy of Slytherin. Correspondingly, among the four founders of Hogwarts, only Lavin Crowe left no descendants, and the remaining three, Gryffindor, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff, all continued their own families. Among Hogwarts, if items related to the four founders are If it cannot be called great, then there is nothing worthy of that title."

Eric then took out Slytherin's locket, which was inlaid with exquisite patterns and exuded a seductive light.

Sirius could feel a powerful energy just by staring at it.

This force seemed to tempt Sirius all the time, trying to change his mind.

Sirius couldn't help being surprised, Eric actually carried this locket with him, and he was not affected by it?

Eric said: "This was an item that originally belonged to Slytherin, but was made into a Horcrux by Voldemort. Currently, the other two Horcruxes we know of are, in addition to Voldemort's own diary from his student days, another It is the ring of Marvolo Gaunt, who is also a descendant of Slytherin."

Sirius suddenly realized: "The things we are looking for should be all items related to the four founders. The possibility of them being made into Horcruxes by Voldemort is far greater than other ordinary items."

Eric nodded and said, "That's right."

Sirius frowned, looking around the corner of the Room of Requirement, with a hint of confusion and expectation in his eyes.

"Then this brooch...?" he asked hesitantly.

"Unfortunately, this is really just an ordinary brooch, there is nothing strange about it." Eric said with a trace of regret in his voice, "But the existence of the Room of Requirement has always been a mystery, as a brooch born in Hogwarts The room that existed here at the beginning, and the mysteries contained here, what we know may be just the tip of the iceberg."

Eric finally smiled: "So, find it."

No more nonsense, Sirius and Eric started to move forward separately around the corner of the Room of Requirement.

Both of them have their own object-finding magic.

Sirius poured out a bottle of light green liquid from the potion bottle, which was a sharp potion made of leech bile, cordyceps and other materials.He drank the potion in one gulp, and when he felt the liquid flow down his throat, he immediately felt a cool refreshing feeling, and his whole body seemed to be awakened.His vision became sharper, and he was able to see even minute details.

At the same time, he summoned a group of light surrounding himself, which was a relatively common finding-object magic.The light group emits soft light, like a guiding light, illuminating the surrounding environment.It is like Sirius's right-hand man, able to automatically remind you of the presence of valuable items around you.

After taking the potion, Sirius shuddered, and then transformed into a big black dog.His body became slender and flexible, and his limbs were strong and powerful, revealing a kind of wild power.The black dog's nose sniffed the air and felt a faint breath.

With the aid of the sharp potion, Sirius' five senses, which were already sharp in the dog form, became more sensitive, allowing him to easily distinguish things in the distance.

Sirius sprinted across the Room of Requirement.His black hair fluttered with the rhythm of running, and his figure deftly shuttled among the debris.His dog's paws stepped on the ground quickly, making a slight sound of footsteps.

His figure was extremely agile, and soon, he disappeared into the pile of debris while tossing and jumping.

Wherever he passes, he can quickly search the surrounding things to screen out eligible items.

On the other side, Eric spread out his mental power, covering the surrounding terrain.

Then, he used the Patronus Charm to summon his Patronus.

His patron saint is divided into four parts, which are respectively transformed into the shapes of animals representing the four houses of Hogwarts.

Eric closed his eyes, fully spread out his spiritual power, and attached himself to the Patronus. Then, he waved his wand, and his Patronuses turned around and ran around.

Eric's goals were extremely clear.

That is, the crown that belongs to Ravenclaw!

Chapter 213 Ravenclaw’s diadem! (2)

Soon, Eric finds out, and his Patronus returns with information.

Originally, it must be difficult to find an unknown item in the vast garbage dump.

But if, like Eric, you know what you're looking for, it's different.

Herein lies the magic of magic.

With Eric's strength, there are at least ten different ways to find Ravenclaw's diadem.

As long as the crown is indeed inside the Room of Requirement.

In this case, Eric's search suddenly went from looking for a needle in a haystack throughout the Room of Requirement to looking for a crown, or something in the shape of a crown, within it.

This is much easier.

And Eric's order to the patron saint is: bring back all objects of similar shape.

Just when Sirius was in trouble, Eric's Patronus finally brought back the item he had longed for.These items are presented in the form of crowns and tiaras, piled up in a box, full of them.

While still plentiful, this is a huge improvement over trying to find them blindly throughout the Room of Requirement.Erik dismissed all the Patronuses he had summoned, then dumped the tiaras on the ground.Then, he took out his wand and opened up the psychic stance.

Eric was lucky. With the guidance of his spiritual power, he found what he had longed for almost instantly.

One of the tiaras is exquisitely crafted, showing fine workmanship despite being covered in dust.It lay quietly on the ground, exuding a silver-white light, elegant and seductive.

There is no abnormality visible with the naked eye, but from a spiritual perspective, this crown is as dazzling as a firefly in the dark, making it difficult not to notice it.
