Flames raged through the Gaunt Shack.
But what is strange is that there is no heat leaving the house.
Originally Snape was going to take Lucas away, but this strange scene made him look at the boy beside him.
"Professor, haven't I explained that the 'spell text' I wrote down is an absolute rule."
"You think I'd be surprised by Headmaster Dumbledore's use of violence to destroy everything around him? He's the greatest wizard in the world, and I've never underestimated him."
After Lucas finished speaking, strange changes took place in the old house.
The seemingly raging flames did not cause any damage to the house.
Dumbledore found this out too.
By looking carefully, he discovered that the flames seemed to be absorbed by the house.
No matter how hard he swung his wand, no matter how hot and violent the flames were.
None of them could cause even a little damage to the house in front of them.
Dumbledore lowered his arms, and the flame at the tip of the Elder Wand went out.
The raging fire that had been blazing so strongly disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The Gaunt Shack was just as dilapidated and gloomy as it was at the beginning, even the air was still chilly.
The fire just now seemed like an illusion.
[Those who enter cannot destroy the house from the inside in any way!]
[Those trapped in this place cannot use any magic to transmit information to the outside world!]
Two consecutive texts appeared in mid-air and Dumbledore shook his head with a wry smile.
He had never seen such terrible magic.
No, this can no longer be called magic, it should be called rules.
Dumbledore's eyes hardened and he gave one last look at the door leading to the outside world before he turned and walked towards the deepest room.
Since he needs to hold the Horcrux ring to leave, then he will follow the rules.
Come to think of it, that kid Lucas has done so much just in hope that he breaks the black magic on the ring.
Is Lucas trying to get this Horcrux ring?
As Dumbledore walked, he pondered Lucas' purpose in his mind.
Soon, he arrived back at the last room.
Raising the floorboard, the Gaunt ring reappeared in front of him once more.
Outside the old house.
When he saw Dumbledore squatting there to break the black magic, Lucas' eyes widened slightly, staring intently at the picture in the fog.
Professor Snape frowned.
"If Dumbledore breaks all the dark magic on the ring, how will you make him compromise?"
"I have my own method, just rest assured and watch."
Snape snorted coldly and turned his head to look into the mist.
Dumbledore was quick at dispelling black magic.
In such a short period of time, the black magic around the ring was wiped out one after another.
A few more minutes passed and even the black magic entangled in the ring was removed.
Under the gaze of two people outside the house, Dumbledore's hand slowly reached for the Horcrux ring.
The moment his fingers touched it.
Something unexpected happened again.
Dumbledore's finger actually went straight through the ring, it was as if the ring was just a false illusion.
"What's going on?"
Even Dumbledore was taken aback this time.
He reached out and tried a few more times, but every time the result was the same.
Outside the old house Lucas laughed out loud.
Probably felt that Dumbledore's expression just now was very interesting.
He noticed the gaze coming from beside him so he explained with a restrained smile: "The ring can only be touched by those who want it."
"For a strong person like Headmaster Dumbledore, Occlumency seems to have become a habit. The ring cannot sense his thoughts, and of course it will not show its true form."
There was something else that Lucas didn't say.
Setting this rule was actually a bit of a joke.
He's emulating Dumbledore's trick of hiding the Philosopher's Stone in his first year.
Dumbledore in the old mansion was obviously also thinking about the first year.
How similar he was to Lucas and others at this time.
They were all breaking through layers of checkpoints and even the way to get the final item is so similar.
Exhaling, he gradually stopped the Occlumency in his mind and when he looked at the Gaunt ring again, a deep voice immediately sounded in his mind.
[Wear it, you can get everything by wearing it, strength, love, affection, money, power…]
At the same time, two lines of small characters appeared on the ring.
[The power of temptation cannot be erased by any form of magic!]
[Those who have lost their loved ones will be doubled in temptation, unless the ring is worn on the right hand!]
These two lines of small characters quickly disappeared into the air.
At the same time, a more terrifying power came from the ring.
Dumbledore's eyes became clouded and he seemed to hear the voice of his sister Ariana.
"Ariana!"
Calling out his sister's name, Dumbledore held the alluring ring in his palm.
But he didn't wear it on his right hand, because he knew that this Horcrux ring was very dangerous.
Even if there is a resurrection stone on it, the urging of his sister's voice in his ear still did not work.
But he was well aware that he wouldn't last long, so he needs to get out of here right now.
Just get out of this creepy wooden shack and the Horcrux ring in his hand will no longer be a problem for him.
Outside the old house, a gleam of admiration flashed in Professor Snape's eyes.
"Mr. Grindelwald, it seems that your calculations have failed. Dumbledore relied on his strong will to resist the magic on the ring."
"As long as he walks out with the ring in his hand, everything will be over, and the end I'm talking about includes you and me!"
Lucas smiled indifferently: "That will have to wait for the Headmaster to come out."
The voice just fell and Dumbledore in the mist was bounced back by the door.
Looking at the spelling words that appeared on the door, Dumbledore's eyes showed a hint of fear.
[Whoever wears the Gaunt ring on his right hand can leave this place!]
[Defeat the rule maker and you can also leave this place!]
When the last rule appeared, Lucas let out a long breath.
"Professor, excuse me, I need to go in!"
"Because of the rules?"
Snape has long discovered that there seems to be a way to decipher the words set by Lucas.
Wear the ring or defeat the rule maker to leave.
It's an alternative.
The same rule applies to Dumbledore casting fire to prepare to destroy the house.
The rules stated that the old Gaunt house cannot be destroyed from the inside. In other words, it can be destroyed from the outside.
Likewise, no magic can be used to transmit information to the outside world.
But that doesn't mean that Muggle methods can't be used.
It's just that as wizards, many people in the wizarding world will subconsciously ignore Muggle communication methods.
More than that, several previous rules seem to leave a way to crack them.
It's just that Lucas took advantage of the loophole and set the cracking method to get the Gaunt ring.
"It seems that your magic also needs to follow some absolute rules!"
Hearing Professor Snape's analysis, Lucas chuckled: "That's why I said, it's only suitable to be used as a trap."
After that, he walked into the Gaunt Shack.
Lucas cast the Disillusionment Charm on himself as soon as he entered the door and stood by the door without moving.
Although the rules give the option of defeating the maker.
But the scope set by Lucas is the entire house, this is also a loophole.
Outside, Snape said disdainfully after seeing his actions: "Treacherous boy!"
That's right.
It is treacherous.
In this way, Dumbledore only had one path to choose from.
That is to give up resistance, obey the temptation in the bottom of his heart, and wear the ring.
Although knowing that it was only a matter of time before Dumbledore wore the ring.
But how long will it take, Lucas didn't know.
Bored, Lucas drew out his wand and wrote a text in the air.
His voice suddenly sounded in Professor Snape's ear.
"Professor, when Headmaster Dumbledore puts on the ring, everything here will be over, please take him back to Hogwarts."
"In addition, I will visit you one hour after your return, please do not disclose any information about the water of life until then."
Glancing lightly in the direction Lucas was in, Snape nodded slightly.
At this time, Dumbledore had also made a decision.
Tremblingly, he put the Gaunt ring on his right middle finger.
"ah~"
The powerful curse on the ring had corroded Dumbledore's hand, turning it black in an instant.
The pain of the curse caused many beads of sweat to form on his face.
The original powerful presence also became weak in an instant.
Hearing screams from inside the house, Lucas let out a long breath: "Dumbledore, I won this time!"
When saying this sentence his eyes were cold.
"Professor, you can come in!"
In the next instant, a huge library of magic words appeared outside the Gaunt Shack.
These words turned into a breeze, clearing all the words and black magic in the house.
When Professor Snape entered the shack, Lucas was long gone.
"Headmaster!"
Dumbledore looked weakly towards the door.
"Severus, take me back."
After saying this, Dumbledore passed out.
Professor Snape didn't dare to delay, and took the old Headmaster back to the gate of Hogwarts after apparating.
