"call--"

John took a long breath and said, "Then let's do it quickly. Now that the location and target item have been determined, it shouldn't be too difficult to find the ring."

Dumbledore nodded.

The two held wands in hand, stepped through the bushes covered with thorns, and began to clean up the ruins of the building in front of them.

Thanks to the blessing of magic, their progress was very rapid.

Piece after piece of debris was lifted, inspected, and then tossed aside.

In the process, John discovered many interesting things.

For example, there are a large number of stones and metal objects engraved with Slytherin's S-shaped snake pattern.

Some items looked like they should have been valuable at one time, and they still had inlaid dents on them.

Perhaps a long time ago, every dent should have contained the Slytherins' favorite emerald.

Or perhaps in the past, the surface of every vessel should have been covered with a layer of gold foil.

In fact, it is simply pure gold.

However, all the splendor has gone, and what is left in front of John is only a large piece of worthless garbage.

"found it!"

Dumbledore's call ended John's exploration.

He quickly came to Dumbledore's side, looked down, and saw that a large wet mud puddle had been cleared out on the ground.

In the pit, dozens of venomous snakes of different colors were entangled on a small black wooden box, forming a creepy snake ball with the wooden box as the center.

Individual venomous snakes have even been spotted by John and Dumbledore.

He was showing his fangs at the two of them in a threatening manner.

"spread!"

John ordered in a snake accent.

Upon hearing this, the venomous snakes in the mud pit stopped crawling for a moment, then quickly dispersed and disappeared into the surrounding shrubs and weeds.

Dumbledore glanced at John with admiration.

John is a snark.

This is no secret to Dumbledore.

After all, Voldemort and the Death Eaters had no intention of keeping John's secret secret.

And Dumbledore also has his own channels for obtaining information.

Unlike many people, Dumbledore did not believe that snake talk was a symbol of evil.

He prefers the opinions of pure-blood wizards and even Death Eaters, who believe that Snake Tune is a symbol of strength and talent.

Just like the most famous snark in history, Salazar Slytherin.

This is actually a neutral evaluation.

In fact, Dumbledore was very happy to see Slytherin having an heir like John.

Whether it's the Gaunt family or Voldemort.

They may have inherited Slytherin's talent and power, but they have not understood Slytherin's lofty spirit and will.

Those unscrupulous descendants even distorted and extremized Slytherin's will.

This is also the reason why they perished.

But John is different.

In John, Dumbledore also saw many qualities of Slytherin descendants, such as strength, intelligence, nobility, and elegance.

But what is even more valuable about John is that he also possesses the kind and noble character of Salazar Slytherin.

If someone could make Slytherin's name great again, let the world praise him.

Dumbledore didn't think that person was Voldemort.

But John.

Only John could become as great a wizard as Silatlin.

Of course, that's all in the future.

For now, the Horcrux is the key.

Dumbledore looked at the black wooden box again.

A look of anticipation and nervousness appeared on his face, and his breathing gradually became a little faster.

Dumbledore actually had a guess about Gaunt's ring.

Now, let’s see what happens after unboxing.

…

And the other side.

John's face, who was also staring at the wooden box, looked more solemn and vigilant.

He used the [Levitation Spell] to control the wooden box to slowly float out of the mud pit. After landing on the ground, he used the same method to open it little by little while keeping a distance from it.

"Crunch——"

The wooden box was opened with a rusty sound.

A ring surrounded by black velvet was revealed in front of John.

The band of the ring is made of pure gold, but the production process does not seem to be very outstanding, which makes the pure gold band look a bit rough and bulky.

And embedded in the pure gold ring is a huge black gemstone.

It is even darker than the pure black velvet on the side.

Under the moonlight, its surface reflects a faint light.

It was this ray of light that allowed John to clearly see the pattern on the gem even though he was several meters away from it.

It looks like a triangular eye with a vertical line in the middle of the hole.

But to be more precise, it is actually a strange pattern consisting of an equilateral triangle wrapping a circle inside, and a vertical line passing directly through the circle and the equilateral triangle.

John's eyes widened instinctively.

The popularity of this picture is really great.

Any older European wizard who comes here will probably be shocked when he sees this picture.

Because this is clearly Grindelwald’s iconic image!

John cautiously took two steps back, then raised his wand, preparing to use magic to detect and 'unspell' the ring through the air.

From the moment he first discovered this wooden box to now, he has always maintained a high level of vigilance.

This is entirely because the process of finding the Horcrux this time was so smooth compared to the last trip to the cave!

It went so smoothly that it was almost abnormal!

John felt he needed to be more careful with the ring.

However, Dumbledore's ideas were obviously different from John's.

When the ring was exposed to the air, Dumbledore's body trembled violently.

That ring seemed to have magic power, keeping Dumbledore's eyes glued to it.

At the same time, Dumbledore's expression suddenly changed.

Joy, anxiety, hesitation, surprise, nostalgia and other emotions were tangled on his face.

Moreover, it seemed that there were more and deeper emotions that he suppressed deep in his heart and did not dare to expose them.

Before John could officially start to detect the ring, Dumbledore walked towards the ring step by step.

"Professor Dumbledore! Wait a minute..."

As John spoke, he was about to pull Dumbledore back.

But just as he stretched out his hand, a ball of blue-white electricity suddenly shot out from Dumbledore's body, and John's hand suddenly bounced back.

John bared his teeth, covered his injured hand, and looked at Dumbledore in confusion.

"I know...I know, John, don't worry about me. I just want to take a look...I just want to take a closer look..."

Dumbledore murmured softly as if in response.

His voice was vague and distant, as if he was stupid.

John frowned, sensing something was wrong.
