The years of welding at Hogwarts

Fearing that Snape would do something irrational, Noah did not give Snape any chance to explain himself and directly confiscated the wand from his hand.

Snape just stared at the ugly black gem ring lying quietly in a pile of powder in the distance, and did not resist Noah's act of taking his wand away.

Noah walked step by step to the resurrection stone ring, but he did not pick it up directly.

After erecting a magic shield in front of it, Frostmourne struck the Resurrection Stone Ring heavily.

When the sword collided with the ring, accompanied by dazzling magical light, a black light burst out from the ring and pierced the magic shield in front of Noah sharply.

The magic shield, which was slightly tilted, deflected the crossbow-like black light at an angle and sank into the soil behind Noah.

An ominous black mist emitting a strong evil aura rose from the tiny hole in the ground. Even Snape, who had witnessed many kinds of black magic, couldn't help but change his expression when he saw this vicious attack.

He couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

When he came to the old house of Gaunt to look for the resurrection stone ring that had been haunting him, he brought Noah with him.

Otherwise, he would never be able to resist the temptation of the resurrection stone ring and wear it on his finger without any protection.

If he really did that, he would probably be dead by now.

The sudden external attack made the soul fragment belonging to Voldemort in the Resurrection Stone ring a little confused. He poked his head out of the ring and wanted to use his soul power to confuse Noah.

But Noah didn't buy it at all.

The glittering golden fist slapped directly on the face of Voldemort's spirit. Feeling the cold slap on his face, Voldemort's soul fragment let out a humiliating roar, then shrank back into the ring like a turtle and never stuck its head out again.

After whipping the corpse several times, Noah finally

Transfiguration conjured up a pair of tongs more than one meter long and picked up the ring.

Holding the fire tongs in his hand, Noah suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Are we going back to Spinner's End or somewhere else?"

Chapter 106: That's the man who can become the medicine master of the magic world

"No, not to Spinner's End."

The small house on Spinner's End was his and Shirley's home. There was no way Snape would leave such a dangerous thing where Shirley could reach it.

But if he didn't go back to Spinner's End, Snape's only place to stay would be the house he bought in Hogsmeade, which he only lived in for a few days a year.

Compared to the Ravenclaw's diadem, the curse on the Resurrection Stone Ring is obviously much more vicious, and it is not suitable for carrying around and studying like the diadem.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly a safer choice to find a place that is safe and reliable enough to hide it, and then take it out when you are able to break the curse on it.

Noah gave a location without hesitation, "Then let's go to Birmingham."

As the most important manufacturing center in the belt and a piece of territory that Hydra has worked hard to manage, Birmingham is where all of Hydra's military industries are concentrated.

The Su-25 that was crashed by Bucky Barnes, a master of plane crashing, was secretly transported in after being dismantled into parts, and then reassembled by Hydra military mechanics.

Otherwise, such a large Soviet aircraft, with its radar clearly visible, flying into American airspace can only be called a fancy way of committing suicide.

Placing the Resurrection Stone in Hydra's territory will ensure its safety.

……

Outside Birmingham.

The land stretching for several kilometers is surrounded by a tall square wall, and a huge villa is located in the center of the manor.

Unlike the brick and tile structure of old-style mansions, this villa looks like three partially overlapping discs, one large and two small, when viewed from the air. A lot of new technologies were used in its construction.

Every curve and line of the building has been carefully planned and cleverly designed.

The simple hollow steel frame structure and tempered glass ensure the solidity of the building while maximizing the field of vision in the room, providing a unique visual experience no matter which room you are in.

For an old otaku like Snape who has lived in a closed magical world for a long time, a building of this shape is undoubtedly a very novel existence.

But his attention was not at all on the building.

From beginning to end, his eyes never left the tongs in Noah's hand, or to be more precise, the resurrection stone ring with a vicious curse clamped on the tongs.

Although the empty villa has been uninhabited for a long time, judging from its bright, tidy and clean appearance, it is usually cleaned by someone.

Noah took Snape straight to the only locked room in the villa.

As Noah's private room, his subordinates would skip this locked forbidden area when arranging people to clean the villa.

Therefore, when Noah opened the door through the biometric door lock installed at the door, a thick cloud of dust hit him in the face.

"Cleaned up."

Noah waved his hand and cleaned the entire room.

This is where the convenience of magic comes into play. Given the amount of dust in this room, it would take at least several hours for a Muggle housekeeping team to clean it.

But for a wizard, it's just a matter of waving a wand.

"What are you going to do with this ring?" Noah looked up at Snape.

The protective magic on the Horcrux was not a problem for Noah and Snape. Although it was very powerful and difficult to destroy, that was for a rookie like Harry.

Noah knew of no less than three ways to destroy Horcruxes that they could do.

It is not without reason that wizards call the Fiendfyre, which can devour everything and take the form of various terrifying monsters, the devil's fire from hell.

This is the most convenient way to destroy a Horcrux.

Although Noah didn't know the Fiendfyre, Snape, as a skilled master of the dark arts, naturally knew the Fiendfyre spell.

In addition to Fiendfyre, physical methods can also destroy Horcruxes, but the things needed are somewhat difficult to obtain -

The sword of Gryffindor.

Noah didn't think that a typical member of Azkaban House like himself could pull the Sword of Gryffindor out of the butt of the Sorting Hat.

Even Snape, the head of Slytherin, can't do it, but Neville, the swordmaster of Hufflepuff, might be able to give it a try?

So this method is not impossible.

As a legendary sword forged by goblins, the Sword of Gryffindor possesses a special ability, which is the ability to absorb the special effects of some substances to enhance its own power.

The Sword of Gryffindor itself could not physically destroy the Horcrux, but Snape had the basilisk venom he had just collected.

The Sword of Gryffindor, no.

The sword of Gryffindor that has been poisoned with basilisk venom, okay!

Another method is to cut through the Kamar-Taj portal. No matter how powerful the protective magic on the resurrection stone ring is, it cannot withstand the cutting from space.

The law of space is perhaps one of the most powerful laws in the world.

one.

The only difficulty is, how can they break the protective magic while preserving the fragment of Voldemort's soul inside?

Voldemort, that is a man who can become like Medicine King!

Noah didn't want to let go of such a portable grandfather. It would be a pity to destroy the Horcrux and the portable knowledge base inside it.

This is also the reason why he kept Voldemort's soul inside the Ravenclaw Diadem.

Noah directly expressed his thoughts, "I want to keep the fragment of Voldemort's soul inside."

"I have been studying the crown you gave me for a long time."

"So... you have a solution?" Noah looked up at the old bat in front of him who looked confident.

Looking at the resurrection stone ring that Noah had locked in the safe, Snape hesitated for a while, but finally made up his mind, "Give me a little more time."

He turned his head away with a determined look, no longer looking at the resurrection stone ring that exuded a certain fatal temptation.

It would be nice to see Lily again, but he still had Shirley.

He wanted to always protect his Shirley and live happily with her until the end of his life, instead of leaving her inexplicably in the hands of a ring.

Noah closed the door of the safe and took out some vibranium from his personal space that he had left over from forging Frostmourne.

The magic circle made of vibranium and dragon blood is solid and powerful, protecting the safe without any blind spots.

Afterwards, Noah asked Snape to set up protective magic such as peace guard.

With the dual protection of Kamar-Taj's mysticism and Hogwarts' magic, Noah is confident that he can protect the Resurrection Stone ring inside from being taken away even if Voldemort himself comes.

In addition to the existence of warning magic, once someone triggers the protective magic here, Noah can rely on the solidified portal to rush here from the distant Hogwarts Castle within two minutes.

Chapter 107 Grant Ward reports to you

"That's enough." Snape said coldly after setting up the protective magic.

He was a little unhappy when he thought that it would take some time for him to break the curse on the ring.

However, the crucial resurrection stone has been obtained, which can definitely be regarded as positive news that cannot be better, and even if there are some minor flaws, it will not affect it.

Overall, Snape was quite satisfied with the deal between him and Noah.

"Anyway, we've already got the stuff, so there's no need to rush back now."

Snape looked at the little fox in front of him, who was so cunning that it could be said to be beyond the sky. He didn't know what Noah was up to. "Whatever you want."

"Please find a place to cool off. My house is quite big. You can rest directly if you are tired."

Watching Snape disappear outside the door, Noah turned his gaze to a red phone on the desk in his room. He picked it up and dialed a number.

When the call was connected, Noah put the microphone to his lips, "Long live Hydra."

A deep and powerful response came immediately from the other end of the receiver, "Long live Hydra!"

After hanging up the phone, Noah sat quietly behind his desk.

He didn't have to wait long. After only five minutes, two men in black suits rang the doorbell of the villa.

Looking at the surveillance footage of a man and a woman showing their Hydra badges, Noah casually pressed the switch on the table, opened the door and let them in.

"Grant Ward, Level 7 Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., reports to you!"

The muscular man in a black suit and with a serious look on his face, who looked like a gangster boss, successfully broke Noah's defense with the first words he said when he entered the study.

Noah had just fried a fish fillet with magic flames and was enjoying the breakfast he hadn't had time to eat in the morning. When he heard the name, he almost choked to death on the fish in his mouth.

Fortunately, he just remembered that the power he had worked so hard to build was Hydra, not S.H.I.E.L.D.

Although they always appear under the name of SHIELD, this does not change the fact that they are still Hydra inside, which means that Grant Ward should be on their side.

Noah took another look at the big man in front of him, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Well, he doesn't look like the backstabbing SHIELD traitor Ward in his impression.

But to be on the safe side, he should assign this guy to some less important positions in the future.

Then Noah turned to the woman standing next to the traitor Ward. Looking at her Asian face, the corners of Noah's mouth twitched.

She's not going to introduce herself as Melinda May later, is she?

"Maeve Hopper, Level 8 Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Noah was relieved when the Asian female agent called out her name, otherwise he would have thought he had traveled to the set of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. next door.

"I need all mission reports from September to date."

With the authority level of the two agents, it is naturally impossible for them to have access to all action reports.

Noah summoned the two agents stationed at a nearby base just to ask them to lead him to the nearest Hydra, bah, SHIELD base.

After establishing a complete operating mechanism for the Snake Shield Bureau

, Noah became a hands-off boss who basically didn't care about anything.

It was certainly impossible for him to leave any office equipment connected to Hydra's internal data network in his private villa, which he only visited a few times a year.

Sitting in the black limousine, Noah temporarily borrowed his subordinates' tactical tablet and used their authority levels to start looking through some of the documents that could be retrieved.

Although the technology tree of this world is not as outrageous as the Marvel Cinematic Universe next door, which is full of black technology, under the interference of the big catfish Noah, some of Hydra's technologies appeared much earlier than those in the normally developing non-magical world.

For example, the concept of tablet computers was first proposed by Microsoft in 2002.

Yet Hydra had already made a practical touchscreen tablet in 1991, even though it was as thick as a red brick.

Looking at the documents on the tablet, a hint of satisfaction appeared in Noah's eyes.

Hydra's recent deployment in the Soviet Union has been relatively smooth.

It has long been predicted that the arrogant Big Brother will fall apart one day beyond everyone's expectations. As a wolf strong enough to come to the table and share a piece of the pie, how could Noah miss such a great opportunity to expand his own power?

By December, they had made preparations long before anyone else, which ensured that they would get a large piece of meat from the sick bear.
