Early the next morning, Solim and Elrond prepared to leave for Little Hangleton with a bunch of things from Gilvez.

Deli also deliberately got up early in the morning, planning to interrupt when Elrond was about to use the Portkey, so that they could either continue to wait for the cooling time of the Portkey in the manor, or go out of the manor and use Apparition. He had thought all about it, but what he didn't expect was that Elrond and Solim left the manor without using the Portkey at all.

"Aren't they planning to go back to Selwyn Castle directly?" Deli wondered at a hidden corner, "This way the plan will be disrupted, let's inform the Rich family first. It seems that this time they won't be able to catch them." They're gone."

Although Deli wanted to get rid of Elrond and Solim, he would not let people ambush outside the manor, because doing so would definitely not hide it from Gilvez.

The trouble that Elrond expected before did not appear, and no one tried to find out the secret of the potion. When he came to Little Hangleton, Solim expressed his doubts.

"Fool, it's just in case, of course it's best not to," Elrond said impatiently, "And I'm sure, you must not have noticed the little trick of that nephew of Gilvez."

Solim looked perplexed, indeed, he knew that the two men had bad intentions, and he could guess that they wanted to prevent Flaiger from becoming a wizard—because once Flaiger became a wizard, the head of the Orvis family had nothing to do with Deli up. Even for this matter, some "accidents" may be created, which Solim can figure out. But what does it have to do with me whether that kid named Fleger dies or not? That's something Gilvez should be worrying about.

"Usually he looks quite smart, but why is he so stupid when it comes to critical moments?" Elrond was very dissatisfied. "When we left just now, that kid was staring at us. He probably reported to Rich's family and prepared to ambush us. Of course, it's mainly you."

Solim killed his heir, it's no wonder he didn't retaliate. Usually hiding in Hogwarts, they really didn't have much chance in Dumbledore's territory, but this time Solim was neither in Hogwarts nor hiding in Selwyn Castle, so of course they would not let go of such a good opportunity.

Hearing this, Solim was still a little nervous. After all, no matter how talented he is, it is impossible to deal with adult wizards at the age of eleven, and since Elrond is with him, he must not be able to hide it from others, and they will definitely take Elrond's factors into consideration. In this way, as long as they are caught, the two of them are basically finished.

"Then what should we do?" Solim was a little anxious, even though he had killed people through black-glove duels, and he had also experienced sneak attacks and ambushes in Sigule. But how can those children's house tricks compare to the battles between adult wizards. Don't look at Solim is very talented, and he knows a lot of spells. But if you really want to confront an adult wizard, it would be good if he can last four or five rounds, and this is still an ordinary adult wizard. Is the Rich family an ordinary family? No, so maybe the wizards they sent were worse than ordinary wizards?

"Look at you! Don't worry, they won't catch us." Elrond didn't care about it. I don't know if I am heartless or confident.

Unlike the newly repaired main road, the dirt road is still winding, potholed, and full of rocks, and the bushes and hedges on both sides have become taller and denser. They grow irregularly, filling everything around, and even covering the original road. It has been nearly a hundred years, but there is still not much change here, and time seems to be stagnant in this place. After passing the thick old trees, Solim saw the old house of the Gaunt family.

The Gaunts' house was easy to find--it was the shabby one. It's not just broken, it's about to collapse.

Now, this house should be called a ruin but it is more appropriate. The moss-covered walls are still there, supporting the main body of the old house tenaciously, covered with plants, the tiles on the roof have all fallen off, the exposed rafters have begun to rot, and the doors and windows have disappeared, leaving A dark hole. The sound of insects crawling through was heard from inside the house, and the dense nettles had already taken over the place.

"It's pretty good here, away from Muggles, and you can save the expulsion spell." Elrond looked around. There is no trace of magic around.

Solim followed Elrond obediently into the old house of the Gaunt family. Solim noticed that there were many holes in the door frame with daggers, which Morfin must have made when he was a child.

Moffing Gaunt - He, like the other Gaunts, has the special gift of Parseltongue in his Slytherin blood. He likes to play with snakes, but he doesn't cherish them. He often nails these snakes to the door frame with a dagger to scare others after he gets tired of playing with them.

Elrond in Gaunt's old house showed a side Solim had never seen before: the wand in his right hand was shining brightly, illuminating the dim room in every detail. It also allowed Solim to see his expression—extremely serious.

"Over there," Elrond motioned to Solim, "there is only trace of magic in the whole room."

Solim didn't feel anything anyway. All he smelled was a musty smell of damp wood and something rotting.

It was a dilapidated wooden cabinet that had been covered in a thick layer of grime that made it impossible to see its original color. Elrond pointed his wand at one of the drawers, and it slid out slowly with a harsh sound, after all it hadn't been opened for nearly half a century.

There was a ring lying quietly in the drawer. Seeing this ring, Solim and Elrond knew that they had found the right owner.

The resurrection stone ring of the Gunter family is very famous. In Marvolo's time, and even earlier, the ring was the only source of income for the Gaunt family.

The resurrection stone can summon the consciousness or soul of the dead, as long as you know how to use it correctly. Sometimes when some wizards need to summon a dead person, they will rent it from the Gunter family. This is why Marvolo's family is so poor and has not starved to death.

Elrond was looking at the ring intently now, and then he raised his wand and pointed at it, saying some incantations that Solim could not understand, and then Solim saw a large black mist floating from the ring, And formed the shape of a human face, opened its mouth wide and let out a silent roar.

Satisfied, Elrond took out a box, and polymorphed a stick into which he picked the ring.

"You're done! Let's go back quickly, I can't wait!" Elrond said excitedly.

"It's that simple?" Solim couldn't believe it. This counts as getting it?

"Of course not! There is an instant death curse attached to it, which targets both body and soul. I dare say that if a great wizard wears it, even if he is not killed on the spot, he will not live for a few days. But it is not easy to lift this curse." Very simple."

"Find someone to take it with you?"

Elrond glanced at Solim, "Yes, just find someone to wear it, and the curse will be useless, one-time use. Riddle's enchantment level is still a little bit, but that's it."

After speaking, Elrond raised his wand and waved it sharply. Solim felt the room shake.

"Okay, I've cleared our traces, let's go back quickly." After speaking, Elrond shook his sleeves, and shook out a gray key. The key was tied to a chain, and the other end was tied to Elrond's on the wrist.

"Hold on to me!"

Solim and Elrond did not encounter any attacks or ambushes, and they returned safely to Selwyn Castle through the Portkey. When he came back, Elrond didn't say a word to Solim, and hurried to the basement with the box, his legs and feet were more agile than the young man Solim.

When Solim came to the door of Elrond, he saw his sister Sylna looking at the door of her own room.

"What's wrong with grandpa?" Sirna asked puzzledly, "The one who yelled just now ran in."

"Uh..." Of course Solim would not tell his sister about the resurrection stone, "I'm crazy~ I'll go in and have a look, so don't come in, it's like a doghouse."

Elrond didn't even notice that Solim had entered. He was pointing at the Resurrection Stone with his wand, muttering, and writing something on the parchment on the side from time to time. Solim sat down quietly at the side, he would not bother Elrond who was in the research state now. Solim came here mainly because he was afraid that Elrond would take it with him under the temptation of the ring. Solim didn't know why Elrond didn't remove the curse on it before researching. But Solim wouldn't be so stupid as to interrupt Elrond who was in high spirits, as long as he watched here, if his grandfather had the tendency to wear the ring, he could interrupt him.

I don't know how long they sat there, until Sirna came in with a plate, Solim didn't know it was time to eat. In this way, the brother and sister ate quietly while watching their grandfather muttering in front of the workbench. It was not until a long time after eating that Elrond woke up under the protest of his stomach.

"Have you all eaten?" Elrond found that his two grandchildren had already eaten, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you call me?"

Solim and Sirna looked at each other, and Sirna said: Brother should do this kind of scolding job.

"You were too involved, so we didn't call you." Solim knew he had to change the subject quickly, or he would be scolded, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Sure enough, when it came to this, Elrond ignored the matter of eating, and talked about his discovery with dancing, even forgetting to let Sirna avoid it.

But Solim didn't remind him, Solim thinks that as his younger sister, Sirna will know these things sooner or later, and Sirna is not a talkative child, so it doesn't matter if she knows.
