The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

What Link wants to do is to kill Voldemort's ghost inside the golden cup without destroying it at all.

Even though Link has reached the world's top level in controlling the power of the curse, it is still an extremely difficult thing for him.

After all, when the Horcrux was made, Voldemort's split soul was already fused with the Horcrux itself.

As for the power of curse, no matter how it is operated, it is inherently destructive.

Just like when dealing with the Slytherin Locket earlier.

At that time, although Link perfectly retained the magical power of Slytherin's pendant.

But the power of the curse still caused some damage to the internal structure of the pendant box.

Not to mention breaking the pendant box.

But it at least reduces its service life by a lot.

Originally this was a completely innocuous matter.

But the Hufflepuff Gold Cup is different.

Link has been a Hufflepuff for 5 years in his life and has already developed feelings for Hufflepuff House.

Similarly, he also has different emotions about the Hufflepuff Gold Cup.

Even leaving aside the magical effect of the golden cup.

He also still wants to bring this relic of Helga Hufflepuff back to Hogwarts and enshrine it in Hufflepuff House.

This had a different meaning to him as a Hufflepuff.

At the same time, this is also the obligation and mission of every Hufflepuff!

So even though it was difficult, he had to try after all!

Bright blue light kept flashing in Link's eyes, and with the help of the super-sensory spell, powerful mental power was fully scanning the golden cup.

After confirming that all the structures of the golden cup were memorized, Link slowly closed his eyes, and the originally divergent mental power slowly condensed, and he began to mobilize the power of the curse with 100% energy.

hum-

Black mist began to emit from the surface of the Hufflepuff golden cup, and a ferocious roaring skull was outlined on the surface of the golden cup.

This is the spontaneous reaction of Voldemort's ghost in the golden cup after sensing danger.

Unfortunately, this does not have any defensive effect.

The invisible filaments transformed from the power of the curse wrapped in a circle of attributeless magic power still invaded the golden cup under the control of Link's mental power, and continued to penetrate deeper along the structure of the golden cup itself, slowly forming a web, and began to spread towards Voldemort. The soul surges away.

Although Voldemort did not set any defensive spells on the gold cup.

But faced with the danger of death, Voldemort's ghost in the golden cup naturally would not sit still and wait for death.

He kept escaping in the golden cup like a fish, trying to escape from the magic net.

Even after observing Link's careful movements, he noticed Link's intention not to destroy the golden cup, and began to plan to die with the golden cup.

This made Link have to marvel at the wonderful ideas of the person who invented the Horcrux.

You must know that even after a powerful soul leaves the living body, no matter how sophisticated the magic is to preserve it, it will eventually lose its memory and intelligence.

The ghosts of Hogwarts are the perfect example.

Many of them have forgotten all the less important memories of their past.

Bloody Barro has even begun to lose control.

Death is the greatest justice in the world.

This is the law of nature.

But now this split soul that has been sealed in the Horcrux for more than 20 years still maintains a high degree of autonomy and wisdom.

This means that a Horcrux is no longer just a container that can preserve the soul.

In a sense, the nature of a Horcrux is infinitely close to that of a living body.

This is rather scary.

Don't forget, the Horcrux ritual can transform any object into a Horcrux.

If you add some controllable parts to the Horcrux, then give the soul in the Horcrux enough energy.

So can the divided soul be able to control the Horcrux independently, forming some kind of fantasy existence like the armored brother Alphonse in "Full Steel"?

In other words, a little simpler.

Directly select a corpse as the Horcrux medium.

So what is a corpse reinfused with a new soul?

Zombie?

Or resurrect directly?

Link paled.

He started to feel a little afraid to continue thinking about it.

Even in the eyes of the most evil dark wizards, these wild ideas are taboos among taboos.

Link had a premonition.

If he really realized these ideas one by one in reality, something extremely terrifying might happen.

By that time, he really may not have the ability to control the development of things.

However, Link is really curious about this...

After taking several deep breaths, Link temporarily suppressed the taboo thoughts in his heart and focused all his attention on the golden cup again.

The speed at which Voldemort's soul fled had already been slowed down due to lack of energy.

At this moment, Link's attention returned, and as he controlled the power of the curse more accurately, he bound it within the magic net almost instantly.

Then, the magic network began to tighten.

At the same time, Link also eliminated the non-attributed magic wrapped in the outermost layer of the 'Thin Thread' that acted as protection.

The power of the curse finally revealed its terrifying destructive power!

The fragmented soul of Voldemort that had been bundled into a ball was cut into countless free energies almost instantly, and was finally taken out of the golden cup as the magic net was withdrawn.

The figure in the black mist that originally appeared on the surface of the golden cup also began to dissipate quickly.

And at the last moment when it completely disappeared, a faint scream also reached Link's ears.

[Gold skill point*1 has been obtained! 】

[Mission—The Glory of Hufflepuff!gained! 】

[Task conditions: Return the intact Hufflepuff Gold Cup to Hogwarts and enshrine it in the Hufflepuff Common Room, under the portrait of Helga Hufflepuff. 】

[Task Reward: Title - "Integrity, Loyalty, Honesty, Fearless of Hardships"]

["Integrity, Loyalty, Honesty, and Fearlessness of Hardships" Effect: The quality of cultivating herbs increases by 20%, the quality of cooking increases by 20%, and the quality of making potions increases by 20%. 】

Staring at the series of barrages floating on the data panel in front of him, Link's eyes were a little straight.

To be honest, this reward was somewhat beyond Link's expectations.

Not to mention the reward of one gold skill point, it is actually the guaranteed reward for destroying the Horcrux.

The most critical thing is that mission.

It's so easy to complete that it's almost a giveaway.

The effect of the mission reward "Integrity, Loyalty, Honesty, and Fearlessness of Hardships" is extremely powerful!

No one understands better than a pharmacist like Link how buggy the effect of "increasing the quality of potions by 20% by [-]%" is.

This is equivalent to adding 20% ​​to your finished product rate and yield rate for no reason!

At the same time, it would be even more terrifying if someone like Link had excellent pharmaceutical skills.

With this 20% bonus, Link can even break through the shackles caused by material quality!

For example, junk like American ginseng can be used to produce the effects of serious ginseng!

This is not as simple as saving some money.

You must know that the extraordinary resources in this world have actually been over-exploited for a long time, so much so that they are close to exhaustion.

Today's BUG-level extraordinary items like the Deathly Hallows are actually not made by some bullshit god of death at all, but are made from countless precious secret treasure-level materials collected by the ancient Peverell family.

These materials are now long extinct.

That's why many similar items and magic potions have become the most popular.

And now that Link has this 20% bonus, it means that he has the capital to touch those ancient products.

Of course, Link still couldn't reproduce the Deathly Hallows, which was made of materials that were extremely precious in ancient times.

But there is still no problem in making some potions from the Slytherin Grimoire.

After all, Link had previously collected many alternative materials and conducted similar experiments.

It just didn't work out because the material was so ineffective.

The biggest problem facing Link right now is why the system is so generous this time to issue such a task that is almost equivalent to giving out benefits?

Link had never encountered a similar situation before when he destroyed the souls in the Slytherin pendant!

Could it be said that the system's mission depends on his mood and obsession at the time?

The more Link thought about it, the more he realized that this guess made sense.

Didn't the "Dragon Slaying Warrior" title mission at that time appear because he had a strong empathy for the experience of the fire dragon?

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Link smacked his mouth, feeling a little excited.

If his speculation is true, then he may receive more and better title rewards in the future.

For example, he collected the Three Hallows of Death...

Link was so excited that he didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

At this moment, Emily frowned and came over solemnly and said:

"Link, it's almost time."

Taking a deep breath to suppress the excitement in his heart, Link nodded and said:

"Then let's leave quickly. I guess the other team is about to break the anti-Apparition spell."

As Link spoke, he glanced into the Lestrange family vault again.

But this look made him a little stunned.

I saw hunters lining up, sack after sack, to transport the gold and jewelry from the vault out.

The golden mountain in the vault was almost reaching the ceiling, but now its height has been reduced by almost half.

"It's the potion to prevent thief waterfalls."

Seeing Link's expression, Old Barty immediately came up and explained, "This wave of people are already members of the anti-Apparition destruction team in front. But don't worry, I didn't delay the destruction progress. The people who picked up the gold coins first have already been there." Go back to work. The rain and dew must be equally distributed."

After hearing this, Link nodded and suddenly realized.

The anti-thief waterfall potion does have a certain effect on enchanting items.

He originally thought that with the level of magic spells the hunters had, it would be the limit for each of them to grab a handful of real gold coins from the vault in such a short time, but he did not expect that they would actually come up with such an idea.

This made Link dumbfounded.

It is worth mentioning that both Newland and Si Gefen stood beside him with serious faces, acting like bodyguards, and did not follow other hunters to pick up money from the vault.

Link then sounded that the order he had just given was only for the hunters, and Newland and Si Gefen were not among them.

And he had told them before he came.

They only need to watch more for this operation and do not need any other unnecessary actions.

However, the most interesting thing is that Newland and Skeffen have completely different ideas.

This point can't be hidden from Link, who is already full of Legilimency spell.

Among them, Si Gefen really didn't care about the mountains of gold and silver in the vault, and he didn't even bother to bend down to pick them up.

As for Newland, he was holding back.

His desire for those gold coins and jewelry is almost written on his face. Anyone with more social experience can see it even without the Legilimency spell.

"Hahaha!" Link couldn't help laughing, "What are you two doing standing around stupidly? Why don't you hurry up and move some? You don't want the free money?"

As soon as Link finished speaking, Newland rushed out like a cannonball.

Si Gefen seemed a little reluctant, and before leaving, he glanced at Link with some resentment.

This made both Link and Old Kled laugh.

They had never seen such an interesting pairing.

"Now is not the time to say that!"

Emily's sharp shout shocked the laughing Link and Old Kled, "Look at your DA gold coins. Just now, our security guard in the Gringotts lobby sent us several messages in a row. . It is said that Scrimgeour, the director of the Auror Office, has entered the underground vault with two large groups of Aurors! And... and it seems that the Death Eaters are also attacking Gringotts!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Link and Old Kled changed.

Aurors and Death Eaters will definitely intervene in this incident, which Link and Old Kled have already anticipated.

But according to their analysis, the two parties will definitely fight outside first, and finally enter the underground vault after deciding the winner.

Unexpectedly, Scrimgeour actually killed him directly.

Is he... abandoning the people and subordinates outside?

Link couldn't understand Scrimgeour's actions, but things had happened, so the plan had to change accordingly.

"Everyone, gather together!"

Link's voice, amplified by the Loud Voice Curse, echoed within the huge cave.

The well-trained elite hunters stopped their carrying work and quickly gathered in a phalanx behind Old Kled.

Although they are greedy for money as hunters, as elites, orders and prohibitions have been engraved in their minds.

This is the result of years of training by Old Kreil and Old Beckman.

It is also the family heritage of the Foley family and the Beckman family.

A family like the Malfoy family, which has wealth but no power, is simply not in the mainstream. Wealth and private armies are grasped at both ends, and gradually developing themselves into substantial lords and nobles is the normal pattern of wizard families.

The best and most famous person at this point is Peverell, and further down, it is Black.

It's a pity that these two once brilliant families have now declined.

It's really...the descendants are unfilial.

Compared with them, Newland's movements are much more ink-stained.

After all, he started too late. He just reached out and grabbed two handfuls in such a short time.

Looking at the still huge Jinshan in front of him, he gritted his teeth and retreated to Link.

Since there was no traceable stretch bag, he could only hold all the treasures in his arms, which made him look very embarrassed.

"cut!"

A contemptuous voice sounded from the side.

Newland stared, and sure enough he saw Si Gefen looking at him with infinite contempt.

But what he didn't expect was that the next moment Si Gefen threw a cloth bag embroidered with a shield pattern.
