I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

The dragon's eyes seemed to be flowing with lava.

It gazes at the sky and looks down at its feet, watching the place that once imprisoned it.

Only then did Dumbledore's voice drift over: "...a real dragon."

116 Hohenheim: Not familiar with him, don't mention him.

This is a real dragon, its every breath exuding a tyrannical aura.

"Ukraine's Iron Belly, the world's largest fire dragon, weighs up to six tons and is extremely vicious."

Dumbledore stood at the edge of the pit and pointed at the dragon, saying, "Be careful of its claws, they're really long."

"I'm afraid that after you took over this wizard bank, you were not informed that there was a fire dragon guarding it below, and no one maintained the magic's effectiveness, which allowed it to escape."

The dragon seemed to realize that the two wizards in front of it did not show the fear that humans usually showed it, which was very unusual.

"You do it?" Dumbledore asked Li Lin with a mocking look.

"Did you think I brought you here for sightseeing?" Li Lin retorted. "What use are you if we're not going to fight?"

"Too."

Perhaps because the Horcrux was so close, Dumbledore was in a good mood. He pulled out his elder wand from his sleeve and pointed it at the forehead of the Ukrainian Ironbelly.

Without chanting a spell like other wizards, Dumbledore simply waved his arm, and countless leaping lights lit up one after another from the tip of his wand. These points of light filled the surrounding space at an incredible speed, connecting the empty darkness into a sea of ​​light.

The points of light gently engulfed the angry fire dragon, then enveloped its form, transforming it into something else.

This is Transfiguration, exactly the same as the Transfiguration used by McGonagall, but in Dumbledore's hands it was transformed into something magical.

The enormous dragon transformed into a cloak, which Dumbledore caught quickly to prevent it from falling back into the dark underground.

Transfiguration has its limits, but Dumbledore's limits may be as high as the sky.

The intense heat in the air vanished, and Li Lin and Dumbledore simultaneously Apparated to the bottom of the cave.

Almost every pure-blood family's vault is located deep within Gringotts, and the Lestrange family is no exception. The fire dragon mentioned earlier was one such obstacle, while the magical traps attached to it were a second.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to open this door without making some noise."

Dumbledore surveyed the metal gate before him, which was almost the same color as the surrounding stone walls, with countless lines, some dark and some bright, distributed on its surface.

Based on his expertise in alchemy, he could tell at a glance that the magical trap on the door was constructed based on the theory of the three elements of salt, sulfur, and mercury.

This theory was proposed by Hohenheim von Paracelsus, an alchemist and magician of the past. He firmly believed that everything has a soul, so he added the element of "salt" to the original dualistic theory of alchemy and gave it a new definition.

Salt is the body, sulfur is the soul, and mercury is the spirit; these three elements constitute all things in the world.

"I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it!" Master Li snapped his fingers, pulled out his magic wand, and swaggered to the metal door.

"Ah... Araho Cave open!"

Just kidding, do you really think Li Lin would cast the Avada Kedavra Curse in front of Dumbledore? Don't think he's really crazy (loud voice).

Dumbledore chuckled upon hearing this: "Mr. Aatrox, the Lockpicking Charm can only be used to unlock Muggle doors, and there must be some other spell cast here to prevent theft..."

Alohomora is a spell used to unlock doors and is also known as "the thief's friend," but it cannot open every door.

The vault door at the deepest part of Gringotts is enchanted with goblins. If it could be opened by a single Alohomora, Gringotts would have been ransacked by thieves and burglars long ago.

Before he could finish speaking, the doors to the Lester Ratchet family's vault seemed to slowly awaken and slide open to the sides.

Fine marks began to appear on the stone, a sharp scraping sound rang out in the air, the ground shook, dust filled the field of vision, and the mercury alchemy patterns that originally covered the surface of the door broke off one by one.

Some mysterious force dismantled them one by one, and the originally closed things burst open under Li Lin's spell.

"What did you say?" Li Lin turned around blankly, the purple light at the end of the wand vanishing completely.

[Second-Tier Secret Transmission: Araho Cave Opens]

[Rank: Pseudo-canon]

[Sexual Nature: Revelation]

The scars will open under the kiss of the knife, revelation will be revealed at the right time, and doors will only open where permitted: without the key's permission, no one may enter. Yet you can slip your fingers into the cracks and open the doors to the world and the way.

【"Alohomora"】

[The special favor shown to you by a certain "god waiting at the gate" has imbued this secret transmission with special power.]

[Use the current secret technique without incurring any cost.]

In the esoteric simulator, revelation is the nature of revelation, dismantling, and opening; it is associated with wounds, locksmiths, doors, and keys.

In the game "Wandering in the City," the deities of authority who possess the principles of enlightenment are Ant Mother, Crescent Moon, Double-Horned Axe, and Beach Crow.

The revered name of Sichen Double-Horned Axe is [the god of two sides and two blades, the god who acts according to the times, the god who waits at the gate, the god who divides and unites].

His power, through the "Opening of the Alohomora," flows through Li Lin's Hawthorn Flower Wand. Not to mention Gringotts' vault, Li Lin could even dismantle the veil of death within the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic.

The white wizard gave Li Lin a deep look, then shook his head: "It's nothing."

Dumbledore knew exactly what Li Lin was thinking.

It's nothing more than that he just used Transfiguration to turn the Ukrainian Iron Belly into a cloak and made a scene, and now Li Lin is going to use the simplest Alaho Opening to open the vault door.

This is also why Dumbledore firmly believed that Li Lin was not inherently bad—no one is perfect, and on the contrary, having some minor flaws prevents one from having great malice.

After all, what bad intentions could a show-off like Master Li possibly have?

With the death of the vault door, the alchemical array originally set up in the vault also fell apart, leaving the vault of a pure-blood family completely undefended.

The vault is topped with a priceless magical luminous pearl, which emits a soft glow.

Countless gold coins flowed like a river before his eyes, a golden throne was surrounded by a pile of gemstone rings, necklaces and jewelry, and magically enchanted weapons were casually stuck in the gold coin-paved ground. The light emitted by the magical items made the vault as bright as day.

Li Lin's eyes widened.

Although he could make a bunch of counterfeit money with a wave of his hand, robbing a bank by opening the vault would be really exciting.

"The golden cup is coming." Dumbledore remained unmoved and waved to the person in front of him.

Among the pile of golden objects beneath the golden throne, a rather unremarkable cup flew out with a thud and landed in Dumbledore's hand.

The white wizard grasped the handle of the golden cup, glanced at it, and then handed it to Li Lin.

"What are you doing?" Li Lin didn't take the cup, but glanced at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore ignored him: "In any case, this Horcrux should not be in my possession. No one knows what will happen when two Horcruxes are brought too close together."

The White Wizard shook his head and sighed: "Tom Riddle is a madman who is not lacking in intelligence. No one in history has ever made more than two Horcruxes."

"Ultimately, the problem lies in the fact that creating a Horcrux is an extremely evil process," Dumbledore explained briefly. "To create a Horcrux inevitably involves splitting one's own soul, which is quite painful and dangerous."

"Think about it, even a single split can cause permanent and irreversible damage to the soul."

The greatest white wizard laughed dismissively. "So Tom will never understand us, even though he's a black wizard, Gellert Grindelwald is far superior to him."

Dumbledore placed Hufflepuff's golden cup into Li Lin's hands.

"Of course, I won't deny that the reason I asked you to keep this Horcrux is because it doesn't have much of a unique feature."

117 Mole: Not familiar with him, don't mention him.

"Lady Helga Hufflepuff from the Valley of Plenty forged this golden cup with magical gold, and it possesses wondrous and special magic."

Dumbledore remarked, "It was the first vessel in Hogwarts to help house-elves transport magical food. It remained in Hufflepuff House until Madam Hufflepuff's death, until Voldemort stole it from Madam Hufflepuff's descendants by some dirty and despicable means and turned it into one of his Horcruxes."

"But its magic isn't as powerful as the other three; it can only transform other substances into delicious food."

"It seems to violate the principles of the Transfiguration Charm, but Lady Hufflepuff's era is so far removed from ours that it's normal for them to have some special methods."

In Li Lin's hands, this golden cup displayed entries similar to those in Tom's diary.

Helga Hufflepuff's Golden Cup

[A second-order cup-shaped object]

[Characteristic: Abundance. What was it used for before? Can it still satisfy my thirst now?]

By placing certain things into the golden cup, you will receive a corresponding "gift," which may satisfy your appetite or quell the desires of your soul, preventing them from turning against you.

[Characteristic: Seduction. Sometimes, my lips are thirsty, but my saliva flows even more intensely.]

The golden cup will continually tempt its holder, drawing more and more of themselves into it. Its power is amplified when Tom Riddle's soul resides within it!

[Characteristic: Gift. In ancient times, this was a gift from the Valley of Abundance, and even now, its offering carries an unforgettable flavor.]

Every seven standard days, a "gift" will randomly appear in the golden cup.

[Description: Since the time Helga Hufflepuff emerged from the valley, this golden cup has represented the yearning for a bountiful harvest. The Cup of Abundance gazes upon the earth.]

"That's right, it's genuine."

Li Lin took the golden cup, made a feint, and turned it into a card, placing it on the dark green tabletop.

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow.

"The next Horcrux should be Salazar Slytherin's locket, right?"

"Thanks for the invitation. I'm in Gringotts, just apparated." Li Lin started trash-talking. "Congratulations, you're even answering questions first now."

Dumbledore smiled knowingly: "If we can quickly recover the symbols of all the houses, that would be ideal."
