The Admiral of Hogwarts

"This is a magical item jointly created by Indomitable and Saint George," Veneto said while putting on her gloves.

"According to their previous statements, considering certain characteristics of that person's Horcrux, both of these items are made of silver treated with holy light, and multiple magical raw materials have been added, which can produce obvious suppression effects on all dark objects."

After speaking, Veneto used her gloved hand to gently poke a few patterns on the box in her hand in a certain pattern.

After Veneto pressed the last pattern, the entire box made a clicking sound. Then, the lid of the box popped open, revealing the inside.

Unlike the somewhat crude surface of the box, the inside of this silver box has countless golden runes appearing and disappearing. Although I don't know what these golden runes specifically represent yet, Hugo can feel the extremely pure holy power contained in the light emitted by these golden runes.

At the same time, possibly due to the resonance between the set of magical items, a large number of similar golden runes also appeared on the silver gloves that Veneto was wearing.

When the runes on the box and gloves reached their peak through resonance, Veneto reached out and took off the diadem, stuffing it into the box as quickly as possible, then fiddled with the box before closing the lid.

Finally, Veneto took off her gloves from her hands and placed them on the lid of the box. After a flash of light, the two gloves turned into two silver ribbons wrapped around the box.

Then, a large number of golden runes flashed across the entire box, leaving only a box that looked no different from an ordinary silver box on the ground.

"Everything is going smoothly," Veneto said to Hugo, and Hugo only sensed a force containing gloom and death spreading out from the Admiral Network the moment Veneto put her hand on the diadem. It seemed to want to test the outside situation, but it was directly annihilated by the holy light released by the gloves on Veneto's hands.

"It seems that this diadem is not as terrible as imagined," Hugo said, finally letting his heart, which had been raised, fall back into his stomach.

Of course, the current state of the diadem also confirmed one of his guesses, that is, this Horcrux was inclined to strengthen concealment when it was created, so there were not too many traps set on it like other Horcruxes.

In fact, Hugo and the others had vaguely felt this when they came in. Even Veneto, a ship girl who is very sensitive to various surrounding energies, especially energies related to death and evil, did not sense that this diadem was a Horcrux when she came in.

Of course, Voldemort, who likes to show off, let his diadem, which served as a Horcrux, be covered in dust and stay in this pile of sundries, because he felt that hiding the Horcrux under Dumbledore's nose was enough to show his power, so there was no need to create extra problems.

"What should we do next?" Hugo asked, looking at the box that had now converged all its light and looked like a jewelry box.

"I personally think this thing should be dealt with as soon as possible. By the way, what did Hermione and the others say after you contacted them before?"

"According to the plan, I will personally take this thing to the Black Lake later. Then, I will hand this thing over to Hermione and the others who come from the Black Lake," Veneto said, turning her head to Hugo.

"Now Hermione, Unicorn, Renown, and Repulse are already waiting in the Forbidden Forest by the Black Lake."

Soon, Hugo and Veneto left the Room of Requirement. Then, Hugo took the two cats back to the Ravenclaw Tower.

After he waited in the Ravenclaw common room for 20 minutes, Veneto opened the door and walked in from outside, then gave Hugo a very British OK gesture.

"Is it done?" Hugo asked after looking at Veneto's expression, although Hugo could see what every ship girl was doing through the Admiral Network.

However, out of respect for them, Hugo usually obtained information from the ship girls through asking instead of directly checking in daily life.

"It's done, everything went very smoothly," Veneto said, sitting next to Hugo, and then reporting through the Admiral Network.

"That thing is now being carried by Hermione in her ship equipment space. She plans to check the situation of that diadem together with Indomitable and Saint George after returning to London."

"Hermione told me that if there are no accidents, they will figure out the specific situation of this Horcrux before Friday evening this week."

"This is really good news," Hugo nodded and said, "But you better also tell Hermione and the others that everyone can study that diadem slowly, there's no need to rush. At least for me, it's naturally best to know about the specific situation before this Friday, but it's not bad if it's a little later."

"Of course, of course, we will do what we can. After all, this thing is already in our hands, so there's no need to rush too much next," Veneto said after hugging Ginger and Fishcake and stroking them a few times, "It's almost one o'clock now, I think Admiral you should go to bed."

Everything was very normal in the next few days, and Hugo also entered a normal school life state.

Until Thursday afternoon, when he finished dinner and was about to go to the library with his sister Hermione, Hermione's voice suddenly sounded in his mind. "Ha, Hugo. We have completely figured out the problem with that diadem."

Next, in the library, Hugo pretended to be reading while listening to Hermione's inspection report on Voldemort's Horcrux.

According to Hermione, through inspection, Indomitable discovered that the so-called Horcrux was actually no different from the life box that has always been circulating in the magical world, both of which are just ways to cut off a part of one's soul to save one's life and choose an opportunity to resurrect.

It's just that compared to life boxes, Horcruxes are simpler to make and more evil. Therefore, compared to those wizards who made life boxes, the wizards who made them can even repeatedly stimulate their souls through the impact on their souls when making Horcruxes, thereby promoting the soul to become more purely evil.

The purification of the soul naturally has its powerful side. For example, after the soul turns to pure evil, this person will definitely be able to surpass all others in the learning and mastery of dark magic.

In addition, this pure magic is much more powerful than ordinary magic in many ways.

Of course, this method is not without any flaws. Not to mention the irreversible damage caused by repeatedly cutting one's soul, it is bad enough that a large number of spells cannot be used after the soul turns to pure evil.

Not to mention that the soul in the Horcrux has a certain self-awareness. Once the main soul is weak, those Horcruxes are likely to turn against the guest and devour the owner of the Horcrux.

"This does sound like a very bad magic," Hugo sighed after listening to Hermione's introduction. "By the way, do you have any way to get rid of this Voldemort's Horcrux now?"
