Chapter 458 453. He spent at least sixty years studying me

“So your father asked you to use this necklace to assassinate Professor Dumbledore?”

Dudley asked as he looked at the two fat guys standing side by side with trembling eyes. The opal necklace that Voldemort personally gave to old Crabbe has now fallen into Dudley’s hands.

“Yes, Brother D.”

Crabbe replied, while Goyle nodded repeatedly, saying, ‘That’s right. ’

“I admit that there is a strong curse on it, but any wizard with some common sense can recognize it.”

Dudley held the necklace, and the curse on it was as dazzling as a searchlight in the dark night.

“No one would be stupid enough to actually wear this thing, right?”

As for items that can kill people if worn for a long time, Dudley can get a lot of them, ranging from lead that won’t grow if you touch it too much, to cesium chloride that can kill people. I guarantee that no wizard can see through it. And there is no need to wear it at all. Just put this thing in the place where the other party often stays. It can truly kill people invisible and is extremely secretive. It is much better than any cursed wearable. Anyway, these wizards who do not understand science do not know what radiation is. things.

So what Voldemort did was simply stupid.

Dudley detailed the shortcomings of the so-called cursed wearables, and concluded that they were not as effective as high-intensity radiation.

“No, Dudley.”

“Tom didn’t think this thing could kill me.”

Dumbledore’s voice came from behind him. He first signaled to Crabbe and Goyle that they could leave, but the two chubby little guys looked directly at Dudley. After getting Dudley’s nod, they all breathed a sigh of relief and trotted away from here as if they had been given an amnesty.

Dumbledore shook his head helplessly. Dudley’s prestige among the young wizards at Hogwarts had far exceeded his.

“Professor, please continue.”

Dudley pouted at Dumbledore, he hated the Riddler who was half-talking.

“His purpose is to deliver this necklace to me.”

Dumbledore took the necklace handed from Dudley’s hand, frowned slightly, and kept his eyes on it from beginning to end. He buried his head so low that his nose almost touched the necklace.

But soon he relaxed and his tone became cheerful: “This way I can find the place he wants me to go to through the clues above.”

“A place where he once lived.”

“Senior Tom is truly the person who knows you best, Professor.”

“Of course. He spent at least sixty years studying me.”

“You are also the one who knows him best.”

Dumbledore said: “Yes, I also spent sixty years studying him.”

“I hope Professor Grindelwald won’t mind.”

Dudley looked at Dumbledore who was in a good mood and said, “It seems that he knows that you know, but in fact you know that he knows that you know.”

It was Newt a few decades ago, and now it’s Tom, who has invested more time than this poor dark arts substitute teacher anyway.

Dumbledore shook his head and did not answer the topic, but the appearance of the opal necklace in his hand had also changed: “Look, Tom’s patience is about to run out.”

“Senior Tom is really impatient. I thought he would at least wait until the end of this semester. It hasn’t been long since school started.”

“Actually, it’s been a long time.” Dumbledore stretched out his right hand, looked at the shiny black fingers on it, and said helplessly: “What you did is too exaggerated. Anyone else would have thought that I was too poisoned at any time. It might die, no wonder Tom is so anxious, he must think I have found a way to suppress this curse.”

Dudley asked back: “If you don’t exaggerate, how could you make him smile so happily when he left that day?”

Voldemort’s laughter still echoed in Dudley’s ears.

“We have received the message from Tom. So what do you think we should do next?”

Dumbledore had already made up his mind, but he still wanted to ask Dudley.

“One word, wait.”

Dudley said decisively.

“wait?”

“Senior Tom is anxious, but he is not that anxious.”

Dudley said as he took out a ring, a ring exactly like the Resurrection Stone, handed it to Dumbledore and motioned for him to put it on.

Dumbledore looked at the ring and couldn’t help but said: “Every time I see it, I have to marvel. Even the breath is exactly the same, but I don’t know if it exists.”

“No.” Dudley said decisively: “My alchemy skills are not that exaggerated yet, and I cannot make a real resurrection stone.”

Theoretically, he could make a resurrection stone using the principle of equivalent exchange, but there was no need for him to make a resurrection stone.

Dumbledore immediately showed regret upon hearing this.

“Crabbe and Gower were just smokescreens, and the other person he really arranged was the focus.”

Dudley continued what he had left unfinished. He was not the Riddler.

“Someone else?”

Dumbledore asked curiously, but he soon showed a relieved smile: “It seems you know what Tom is going to do?”

“Hogwarts does not allow the use of Apparition, so if the Death Eaters want to enter Hogwarts during the period that it is closed to the public, what else can they do?”

“You can go through the secret passage,” Dumbledore replied.

How many secret passages are there in Hogwarts? I’m afraid even the designers of the castle don’t know that many secret passages have slowly evolved over the course of thousands of years.

It’s just that most of the secret passages can only be exited but not entered, and only a few can occasionally be connected to each other.

“Yes, but whatever you can think of, Voldemort also guesses that you can think of it.”

Dudley continued: “If I were him I would choose a method that has never been implemented.”

“So what is it?”

Dumbledore’s attention had been drawn to Dudley, and he was absolutely right. Choosing another method that had never been implemented before would definitely catch them off guard.

“You should know about the Room of Requirement, right?”

“Of course.” Dumbledore nodded.

“It is filled with items belonging to the students who discovered the secret of this room since the founding of Hogwarts, including many professors.”

Over the millennia, many little wizards have used it as a place to hide secrets, so it is filled with all kinds of items.

“There is a very expressive magic item disappearing cabinet among them.”

The Vanishing Cabinet is a very magical item. As long as there are two doors, it can be traversed like any door and is not affected by the magic that prohibits Apparition.

“I know, but the cabinet is broken.”

“What if it’s fixed?”

Dudley said slowly, his tone becoming serious: “Then the Death Eaters can enter Hogwarts through another cabinet.”
