Chapter 108 Gaunt’s Ring
A dazzling silver light spurted out from the tip of Jiang Li's wand.
Silver light was dancing in this shabby room, and Snape saw the light gradually solidifying.
This patron saint has the elegant body of a deer, the hooves of a horse, a dragon-like head, a pair of curved and noble horns on his forehead, a pair of wings on his back, a long and fluffy tail, and exudes a sacred and majestic aura.
"What kind of animal is this?"
Snape had never seen a Patronus like it.
"It's a Qilin." Jiang Li explained.
In the past, the sect’s guardian beast was the Qilin.
"It's a little different from the unicorn I've seen." Snape said.
The silver Qilin looked at him with its head tilted, looking somewhat cute.
"There are many different types of Qilin, so it's normal for them to be different."
However, this Qilin was different from what Jiang Li had imagined. She thought that the summoned guardian god should be taller and more powerful to fit her powerful image.
It was only half a person's height and looked like a unicorn cub that had just turned one month old and had not yet been weaned and was already out working.
"What is your patronus?" Jiang Li asked.
"It's a doe."
Snape imagined the beautiful moments in his memory and cast the Patronus Charm.
Silvery-white light poured out from the tent, and an elegant and active little deer jumped out from the tip of the staff, circled around Jiang Li, and rubbed her cheek.
Jiang Li was slightly stunned.
How come Snape's Patronus was closer to her than her own.
"Your Patronus is so beautiful. The horns on its head are shaped like gardenia branches," she exclaimed.
Suddenly I felt that I, the little unicorn, seemed ordinary.
Snape was also a little surprised that the Patronus had changed.
Is it because of the stick heart, or the happy memories...
The silver light fell on Jiang Li's hair, making her look a lot gentler.
The doe slid under Jiang Li's palm, jumped to the side of Jiang Li's patronus, bent its neck, and rubbed against the Qilin cub.
The two guardian angels touched their noses together, looking very intimate.
Jiang Li:?
Could it be that these two guardian angels are half-brothers?
When Snape saw this scene, his heartbeat quickened slightly. He turned his head to look at Jiang Li and found that she had an indescribable expression on her face. He didn't know what she was thinking.
But he didn't ask, as he always felt that Jiang Li would say something outrageous.
The two guardian spirits explored the room, lighting up the dark cabin.
Only after making sure there was no danger did Jiang Li and Snape step into the Gaunt house.
The rotten floor made a creaking sound when Jiang Li stepped on it with his shoes, and he felt like he was going to miss a step at any time.
There was thick dust inside, and spider webs hanging in the air. If you were not careful, the spider webs would fall directly on your face.
The milky white light guided the location of the Horcrux.
When Jiang Li was about to push the door, he felt a very slight fluctuation.
She took a step back and blew the door open.
A black mist rushed out and headed straight for Jiang Li's face.
Snape immediately used the Patronus Charm to dispel the black fog.
"Voldemort is really cautious, even putting a curse on the door." Jiang Li sighed.
"Be careful, there is also a curse on the ring." Snape said seriously.
This is where Dumbledore got into trouble in his previous life.
The room was dark, and the milky white light pointed to a cabinet that had been stuck upside down on the ground.
Jiang Li used a levitation spell to lift up the cabinet and took out a wooden box from it.
The soul inside the crystal ball became extremely excited and kept hitting the crystal ball.
Jiang Li directly blew up the wooden box, and an ordinary ring fell out, rolling on the dusty ground.
When a normal person sees a ring like this, they would probably ignore it as something worthless and wouldn’t even take a second look at it.
The ring floated in front of the two of them.
Jiang Li did not try to catch it, but threw a crystal ball for trapping Horcruxes next to the ring, lit a pinch of the flame of the Fierce Fire Curse at the ring, and threatened it.
"I know you can hear what I'm saying. I'll give you one minute to transfer yourself into the crystal ball. If you still don't react after one minute, I'll burn you and this ring together."
The flame was very close to the ring, but the ring did not react at all.
It seems that he is determined to pretend to be dead to the end.
Jiang Li threw the flame directly onto the ring.
In an instant, a black mist rushed out from the ring and rushed towards Jiang Li with a terrifying roar.
Jiang Li calmly picked up the crystal ball and held it in front of him.
The next second, it seemed as if a pair of hands stretched out from the crystal ball and pulled the black mist directly into the crystal ball, trapping it tightly.
"You are so dishonest. Couldn't you just listen to me and go in obediently at the beginning?"
The black mist was colliding wildly inside the crystal ball, much stronger than the residual soul in Ravenclaw.
Jiang Li guessed that it should be the remnant soul that was cut at the beginning and was relatively complete.
She threw the crystal ball of soul to Snape.
Snape caught it immediately.
Although I know it won't break, I subconsciously feel that it will break if I drop it on the ground.
"Can't you just give it to me?"
"Don't you think the throwing motion is pretty cool?"
Jiang Li chanted a counter spell and cancelled the flame burning on the ring.
The surface of the ring turned black, but the gems on the ring did not show any signs of being burned.
She reached out to pick it up, and when her fingertips were about to touch the ring, she suddenly felt a palpitation.
Jiang Li subconsciously withdrew her hand, but the black mist on the ring quickly wrapped around her fingers.
Damn, this curse doesn’t even stick to the soul.
When I realized this, the scene in front of me had changed.
An old man with white hair and a youthful face was looking at her with loving eyes. He raised his hand and touched her head, his voice deep and steady.
"Are you okay, kid?"
Jiang Li was about to cry. She couldn't hold back when she heard her master utter a word of English.
She broke up the environment with an indifferent look.
Can't you be more rigorous in creating illusions? Why do you have to speak to her in English? !
It's totally impossible to get into it.
The scene in front of him disappeared and Jiang Li returned to reality.
"Is everything okay?"
Snape walked up to her, held her hand, and looked at it carefully.
"I am fine."
Jiang Li looked at Snape with a relaxed expression, and then his pupils shrank slightly.
Snape kissed her palm gently, his eyelashes brushing against it, tickling it.
The impact of this scene is really too great.
"I hope you're okay."
Snape looked at Jiang Li tenderly, stretched out his hands and held her in his arms, and said in a doting voice: "Ali, don't do such risky things in the future, I will feel sorry for you."
The next second, a dagger appeared on his lower abdomen.
Snape covered the dagger and looked at Jiang Li in disbelief, with a painful expression on his face.
"Why are you doing this to me."
"Your acting is so fake, Severus would never say such disgusting words."
Jiang Li pulled out the dagger and stabbed it directly into his eyes. He said coldly, "That's enough. Stop peeking into other people's memories and doing these disgusting things."
Magic power surged around her body, her eyes were slightly cold, and she stirred the dagger vigorously. Snape in front of her cracked like a mirror, and the whole world collapsed rapidly.
