Chapter 381: Regulus who set things right
"Voldemort set up a magic here, either drinking poison from the stone basin, and getting the Horcrux inside, he would also want to drink water from the lake because of thirst, and be dragged down from the water by the Yin corpse. He would do nothing and leave here, and he would still face attacks from these monsters."
Dumbledore, who was still in a crow, looked at the corpses who had been blocked in the sea of fire and said softly.
The wands floating around Sherlock were floating back to their original position at this time, and he curled his lips.
"This method is really low-level, and it doesn't look like it was designed by a brainy wizard."
Dumbledore crowed.
"Riddle is smart, but in some aspects he does have obvious shortcomings, which is why we can find a way to deal with him."
While they were talking, the boat finally sailed to the shore. After the bow of the boat was docked, Dumbledore flew down from Sherlock's shoulder with his wings and turned back into a human form.
The two did not continue to stay in the cave. After returning to the original path, they directly used the phantom to move back to No. 12, Grimo Square.
They had been in the cave for a day, and when they arrived at No. 12, Grimo Square, the sky was completely dark.
"It seems that we are destined to miss the school dinner today."
Dumbledore said as he waved to the air. The next second, a golden light flashed in front of him, and Fox emerged in the golden light and landed on his shoulders.
He waved his wand casually, turned out a piece of parchment paper and a quill, quickly wrote a short letter, and handed it to Fox.
"Go and give it to Minerva, she will know what to do."
After arranging the school's affairs, he and Sherlock walked into the room inside from the foyer.
Someone in the room heard the movement, and Mrs. Weasley walked out with a look of surprise.
"Dumbledore, and Sherlock...shouldn't you be attending the school dinner right now?"
“We have something more important to deal with.”
Dumbledore explained briefly to her, and then asked solemnly.
"Have you seen Clicche, Molly?"
Although Mrs. Weasley was a little confused, it could be seen that his expression was not a joke.
"Just just now, I saw him cleaning on the third floor. Sir, where should he be now?"
"Thank you very much, and, the pie you made yesterday tasted really good."
Dumbledore and Sherlock passed by Mrs. Weasley, and they came to the third floor.
As soon as they walked out of the corner of the stairs, they saw the skinny and bone-skinned house elf muttering something in disgust while cleaning the ground.
Sherlock and the others went upstairs to make a lot of noise. When they appeared, Kliche was already staring at the corner of the stairs with his big eyes that seemed to pop out of his eye sockets.
Looking at Dumbledore's eyes, Clicher's eyes were obviously bored, but the order Sirius gave him forced him to salute the old man.
"gentlemen."
Dumbledore was not so anxious that he looked at Clicche with a calm and gentle look, no different from when facing other wizards.
"Clicche, can I talk to you?" Gu Mai
Faced with his request, Klicche showed some resistance.
"I still have work to do, sir, I still need to clean it here..."
"It won't take long. I want to talk to you about Regulus." Dumbledore said, staring at the elf's eyes.
When Kliche heard the name Regulus, his body trembled obviously.
His eyes, which were already big enough, were wider.
"Ray, Master Regules?"
Dumbledore nodded, and his deep blue eyes revealed solemnity and respect.
"Yes, Regulus Black."
Clicher finally agreed to Dumbledore's request for a conversation, put down his work and sat at a square table on the third floor.
Sherlock did not speak out, and it was naturally more appropriate for Dumbledore to speak out in terms of communication.
"We just came back from a cave," Dumbledore said.
Clicher looked at him with shock, anxiety and fear in his eyes.
"Solution, cave? A cave with a large lake?"
"There is indeed a lake inside, and there is a stone platform with stone basins in the center of the lake. We used some means to see some things from the past there. In that story, it appeared twice in total, Clice, and both times they were with different people."
Kliche's body trembled even harder. He seemed to have recalled some terrible past, and his big eyes were completely filled with fear.
"I... Master Regulus...and that person..."
He stuttered, his voice was obviously crying, but he could only say a few simple words.
Dumbledore did not urge or say anything to force him, but instead placed a tea cup in front of Clicher and poured him a cup of tea.
The nature of the house elf made Clicher instinctively panic. He looked at the cup of tea, his eyes, which had already been filled with mist, were even more nervous at this time.
"If you don't mind, just talk to us about your experience."
Kliche had already sobbed quietly, his emotions were very excited, as if he could not speak at all.
In this way, Dumbledore and Sherlock were waiting quietly. After about ten minutes, the old house elf finally calmed down.
"When Master Regulus was sixteen years old, he joined the Dark King's organization. He was so proud, so proud and so happy. Especially after Master Sirius left, he became the only pride of the hostess."
"One year later, one day, Master Regulus came to the kitchen to visit Clice. Master Regulus has always liked Clice. Master Regulus said... He said... Lord Dark Lord needs an elf."
Sherlock and Dumbledore looked at each other, and when they heard this, they had basically guessed what the scene of Voldemort bringing Clicche and the others there was in the cave.
Afterwards, with Clicche's story, they also completely figured out all the things happened.
Just as they had guessed, Regulus, who was originally a loyal believer in Voldemort, discovered his true face and finally chose to resist.
He learned from Kliche that Voldemort had hidden something very important in the cave, so he went with him to exchange the locket, and he drank the poison from the stone basin and died at the bottom of the lake.
