"Araho Cave is open."

The same inconspicuous souvenir box opened with a click, and Slytherin's green locket appeared in front of Li Lin.

After making it in the same way, Li Lin took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was 7 minutes since he left Hogwarts.

7 minutes, go play a cameo as a jungler, there should be enough time to catch a mouse, right?

......

The Burrow.

This is the residence of the Weasley family. From the outside, it is comparable to the dilapidated old Gaunt house.

At this time on weekdays, Mr. Arthur was supposed to be working at the Ministry of Magic, while Mrs. Molly was cleaning at home and tidying up the garden. Their eldest and second sons had graduated and worked.

With the exception of the youngest son, Ron, and youngest daughter, Ginny, everyone else is at their jobs, so the usual Burrow isn't actually crowded.

Of course, the current situation is obviously not normal-the Ministry of Magic has collapsed in various countries, and Gringotts has also run away.Therefore, both Arthur and his son, who is the Gringotts spellbreaker, can only stay at home at this moment, waiting for the wizard who comes regularly every week to distribute allowances and relief.

In this regard, the Weasley family is actually not too painful, after all, they have always been used to being poor.

On the stairs on the second floor, Ron Weasley, who had not yet reached school age, teased the mouse on his lap.

In his hand he held a few secretly hidden shriveled corn kernels.

"Eat, eat, Scabbers."

Molly and Arthur sat opposite each other at the table in the living room on the first floor. Although their situation was not ideal, there was not much distress on their faces.

The Weasleys were always so cheerful.

Until Li Lin kicked open their door.

"Weasleys, come out to meet your king!" Li Lin ignored the stunned members of the Weasley family, his eyes moved and stayed on Ron, showing a hint of joy.

The little mouse that landed on his lap, to be exact.

Of course, the other people present didn't think so, they only thought that Li Lin was going to do something to Ron.

"Look here!" Molly and Arthur drew out their wands almost at the same time. They roared, trying to attract Li Lin's attention.

They saw Li Lin turn around as they wished, but there was a bewitching red flashing in those pupils.

The soul is out of the body.

All the people who looked into Li Lin's eyes fell into silence one by one, even including Ron.

He suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the mouse Banban, ignoring its panicked struggle, and handed it to Li Lin.

Li Lin straightened the mouse's head and looked at him.

In an instant, Peter Pettigrew fell into a dazed eternal sleep—not temporarily suppressed, but just like old Barty Crouch, his personality was completely wiped out by Li Lin, leaving only the soul created by the Imperius Curse. surface artifacts.

This is to deceive Sirius.

Li Lin didn't think Sirius would let Peter die peacefully. With Sirius Black's mentality, he would definitely ask Peter to face himself soberly, and he obviously had no means to control Peter Pettigrew.

After the caring Li Lin planted a hint to everyone present, he withdrew and walked away.

......

Diagon Alley, Wizards Bank, Sirius' office.

Li Lin reappeared, and after seeing Sirius, who was a bit worried about gains and losses, he threw the mouse out of his hand.

The mouse began to transform in the air—Sirius knew it clearly, it wasn't the Transformation Curse, it was the release of the Animagus!

Pettigrew Peter rolled to the ground. After seeing Sirius, his face was full of fear, but he couldn't say a word.

Sirius' face was surprised at first, and then slowly twisted. He turned his head and looked directly at Li Lin, with a hoarse voice: "What's going on? What's wrong with him?"

"I abolished his magic ability." Li Lin said nonsense, perfunctory Sirius.

His figure disappeared into a golden-purple twilight.

Sirius stared blankly at everything in front of him, with a half-crying and half-smiling expression on his face, and after a long silence, a sharp howl burst out from his throat.

......

Li Lin's office on the seventh floor of Hogwarts.

Li Lin appeared at the window.

He opened the magic pocket watch.

The second hand coincides with the minute hand, exactly 10 minutes.

132 You Never Thought That the Conspirator Was Smiling

Li Lin threw the pen in his hand on the table, and then handed the letter to his owl Tom.

The snow-white little dumpling flapped its wings, pecked at Li Lin's fingers, gave him a resentful look, and then flew into the clouds from the window on the seventh floor.

For a long time, Li Lin has been relying on the owl to control the situation in the magic world remotely. The information contained in it varies in length. Depending on the identity and plan, it may be thousands of words, or only two or three words.

But now the letter he sent contained only a brief sentence.

That was the "plan" that Li Lin asked Grindelwald to execute immediately.

"Run to the Albanian forest, kill the blood-cursed orc Nagini, and control Voldemort's remnant soul."

Nagini is a twelve-foot-long giant snake, which was later tamed by Voldemort and became his Horcrux, helping him to torture him until he was defeated by Neville Longbottom in the final battle of Hogwarts.

But she was once a human being, stemming from the blood curse left over from her maternal bloodline, which allowed her to freely transform between giant snakes and human forms.

Nagini once teamed up with Newt Scamander and others to protect an Obscure and helped them defeat Grindelwald, but she did not escape the curse of blood after all, and eventually degenerated into an unconscious beast .

Li Lin was sure that Grindelwald knew what to do next.

About half an hour after the letter was sent, a silver phoenix fell from the eighth floor and landed in front of Li Lin's office window, from which came Dumbledore's calm voice: "Mr. Come to the office."

When Li Lin pushed open the door of the principal's office, he saw Dumbledore with a calm face and Snape with a dark face.

On the table was an open emerald green locket, no matter in color or size, it was exactly the same as the locket Li Lin saw in the No. 12 mansion in Grimmauld Square.

"We were deceived, Aatrox." Dumbledore looked at Li Lin calmly, and pointed to the locket on the table, "This is a fake Horcrux."

"Of course, I'm not doubting you." The white wizard changed his subject, "The information you provided me has indeed helped us a lot—Voldemort set up three checkpoints, each of which will require an adult wizard. My life. If you hadn't reminded me to take Severus with me, I'm afraid I would have to drink the poison and face tens of thousands of corpses."

In the original book, Dumbledore rashly put on the ring with the resurrection stone, and was cursed so that his life span was less than a year. He drank poison in the cave, and his time was running out, so he had no time to check whether the Horcrux he got was real or not.

But at this moment, he had plenty of time, and he brought Snape, the potion master, with the Gryffindor sword and the panacea leached from the Sorcerer's Stone.

That pot of poison didn't stop Dumbledore for long at all, he just drank the poison and the antidote with great relish.

"Tom's poison tastes like sparkling water that has been left for too long, and as for the panacea, it has a refreshing sweetness." Dumbledore described it this way.

He picked up the note that was placed in the locket, and read word by word:

"To the Dark Lord."

"I know that when you read this letter, I'm already dead, but I want you to know—I discovered your secret, and I have taken the real Horcrux and destroyed it as soon as possible. "

"I'm willing to risk my life for you. When you meet your opponent, you are still just a mortal of flesh and blood."

"RAB."

Dumbledore folded the note smoothly, stuck it to his heart, closed his eyes and sighed.

"We all overlooked this brave Slytherin who seemed to follow the Dark Lord, but at the last moment showed the glory and nobility of pure blood."

"I propose a minute's silence for the brave and noble Regulus Arcturus Black."

Both Dumbledore and Snape kept a precious minute of silence.

Only Li Lin focused on 1 minute.

"In the far east, for every minute that people pass, 1 seconds pass."

No one came to complain about Li Lin's jokes.

"So, the Slytherin locket we're looking for has already been destroyed by Regulus." Dumbledore wrung his fingers, frowning slightly, "But it's still far away from Voldemort's seven Horcruxes." There is a distance."

"Aatrox, do you know where the remaining Horcruxes are?"

"Why do you only pay attention to the horcruxes, but don't hear the smirk of those who have succeeded in the conspiracy?" Li Lin responded with a sigh, "You never heard the children crying, and you never saw the city falling apart. Have you ever thought that your homeland is no longer Home, friend no longer friend?"

Dumbledore and Snape looked at each other, not knowing what Li Lin was up to.

The white wizard frowned: "The successful plotter is grinning...get rid of Voldemort—Grindelwald!"

He suddenly realized, stood up from the chair in the principal's office, couldn't contain the excitement in his heart so much that he walked back and forth, his eyes were sharp: "I actually ignored him - no, I was deceived by him again... Isn't his purpose in the wizarding world?"

Dumbledore did know that Grindelwald had violated the "Secrecy Act" a few days ago and launched a series of coups in the Soviet Union. The original Gorbachev stepped down, and Yanayev became the leader... Then What followed was a top-down campaign against counter-revolutionaries.

"But... what does this have to do with us?" Dumbledore looked at Li Lin suspiciously.

"Good answer, I don't know."

Li Lin spread his hands: "I'm not a bald man without a nose, nor Grindelwald above you. Maybe he is secretly looking for Voldemort's Horcrux, hoping to resurrect Ariana to ask for your forgiveness?"

"After all, we all know that Voldemort has the blood of the Gaunt family, and the Gaunt family is the bloodline inheritor of Peverell and Slytherin..."

Dumbledore clenched his hand on the table.

He realized that Li Lin was probably hinting at something.

Among the three Deathly Hallows left by the three Peverell brothers, the Elder Wand and the Invisibility Cloak have long been in Dumbledore's hands, but the Resurrection Stone has never been found.

—Could it be that it was also made into a Horcrux by Voldemort without knowing it?

Dumbledore was immediately distraught.

If I get the resurrection stone, will I use it to summon Arianna's soul and say sorry to her?

If Grindelwald is also looking for the resurrection stone and has already obtained it in advance...how should he deal with it?

You know, that's Gellert Grindelwald, even if the search for Horcruxes is of no benefit to him, he will be very happy if it can add a stumbling block to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore sat at the table in a daze, and it took a long time before he realized that Snape and Li Lin were still in his office.

The old man gently raised his arm and waved it: "You guys go out first... Oh yes, Aatrox will stay for a while, here is a letter from you."

He took out a letter from the drawer and handed it to Li Lin.

An unfamiliar seal was engraved in the wax on the burnt yellow envelope.

That's Nico Flamel's imprint.

133 I can't think of a topic again!

"When are you going to leave? Nicole Flamel wants to meet you. You know, he hasn't invited anyone for hundreds of years."

Although Dumbledore was a little out of his mind, he was not to the point of being overwhelmed by emotion.

"Now." Li Lin replied calmly.

"But Defense Against the Dark Arts..." Dumbledore frowned slightly.

Li Lin asked in surprise: "Didn't you ask for an extra piece of the panacea for Flitwick? You are so heartless."

I can't talk anymore today.

An hour later, Li Lin walked out of the gate of Hogwarts under the welcome of all the students and staff.

"I'm leaving, don't miss me." Li Lin stood at the door and waved.

"We'll always miss you, Professor," cried the heartless Weasley twins.

"Teacher, I will wait for you to come back." Qiu Zhang's expression was relatively reserved, and the little girl's eye circles were already a little red.

But she still doesn't know that she has been marked by Li Lin, and when she returns to the world of secret religion, she will be able to pull her into Mansu.

No matter how fishy Li Lin usually is, he is a very interesting person after all, and the students of Hogwarts still like him very much.

As for the staff, the worry is another matter.

Minerva McGonagall said with a worried face: "He won't just stop the allowance for Hogwarts..."

"I don't think so." Dumbledore shook his head, "Aatrox is a kind man."

Professor McGonagall is a little speechless, and kindness can't be eaten as food.

Li Lin's figure was getting further and further away, and was about to disappear into the distance.
