Chapter 107: Looking for the key to Vault No. 12

"Do you suspect that I am a fake?" Delis' tone sounded like he thought Moody was a bit ridiculous, "I think you are really crazy. Do you think anyone can deal with me in such a short time? Unless the attacker's name is Dumbledore or You-Know-Who!"

"Hmph, why did you act without permission?" Moody snorted coldly. He really didn't find anything wrong. The Delish man in front of him seemed to be right. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have any dissatisfaction.

"I just didn't want to miss the opportunity. I saw a python. It ran away immediately when it saw me. I was worried that it was Riddle's spy." Delis waved his hand, and a python as thick as a thigh floated out.

Moody looked at it. For a moment, I didn't notice any difference.

"Obviously you got it wrong!" Moody's tone was harsh, obviously still dissatisfied with Delis's unauthorized actions. After he finished speaking, he walked to the other side and began his own investigation. It seemed that he was no longer interested in taking another look at Delis.

"Don't mind, that's just him." Tonks took the initiative, poked Delis with her elbow, and then asked, "What should I do with this snake?"

"It's of no use, just let it go." Delis lifted the magic of the floating spell, and the python fell to the ground, immediately coiled up in fear and stiffened.

"Keep looking for other clues." Delis patted Tonks on the shoulder and encouraged her.

Tonks nodded dullly, and suddenly her eyes stopped at Delis's wrist: "Hey, were you wearing this bracelet when you came here?"

"I've been wearing it for a long time. I made it myself. It can prevent some not very strong dark magic." Delis pulled his sleeves to cover the silver snake-shaped bracelet on his wrist and said calmly.

"Oh." Tonks had no doubt at all, but paid attention to the sculptures and fountains in the courtyard with great interest, "The wings of this sculpture look very delicate."

Delis pinched the wrist of his left hand with his right hand and slightly raised the corner of his mouth as he watched the others getting busy.

Delis at this moment is naturally no longer Delis.

After Cyrus lured Delis into the depths of the woods, he took on his form. And the real Delis is actually the snake just now. As for Nagini, he's wearing her on his wrist right now!

Since Cyrus completed Imago Magus's transformation, his understanding of transformation has reached another level. In addition, the wand made of thunderbird feathers as the core has a very significant improvement in transformation.

All these factors gave Cyrus the confidence to deceive Moody.

Of course, even if he really couldn't hide it from those eyes, Cyrus was not completely helpless.

After all, there are only four opponents. Moody, the strongest, has limited legs and feet, so it won't take much effort for Cyrus to deal with them. It's just that Cyrus didn't want to draw too much attention to himself.

His current goal is to sneak into the Ministry of Magic.

Not long ago, after he got the Resurrection Stone, he contacted Malfoy again. He planned to ask about Vault 12 and also inquire about the earliest vaults of Gringotts and the owner.

Cyrus actually didn't know much about the plot of "Legacy". He did buy the game, but because the plot was a bit too bland and boring, he didn't continue playing. Instead, he watched some videos and had a rough idea.

And according to his investigation, there seemed to be no record of a fifth-year transfer student attending Hogwarts during the tenure of the most unpopular headmaster. However, some of the remaining game characters seem to be consistent with history.

This information made Cyrus a little confused, but in any case, the concept of ancient magic does exist, and the most powerful evidence is Lily Potter. As for whether there are secrets of ancient magic in Vault 12, Cyrus plans to go and see for himself.

After contacting Malfoy, Cyrus even returned to Azkaban once and found the Death Eater Luke Wood. However, this Death Eater knew nothing about the location of the key to Vault 12 and could not find it. He had never heard of ancient magic at all.

In the end, Cyrus could only rely on his own and Malfoy's guesses, believing that the key to Vault 12 was likely to be hidden within the Ministry of Magic.

It was obviously not advisable to break into the Ministry of Magic directly. He didn't care about the Aurors, but Dumbledore wasn't dead yet!

Cyrus had no choice but to take a roundabout way and first find an identity to sneak into the Ministry of Magic.

Otherwise, even if Moody could find some clues, it would be impossible to discover the traces of magic left by Gaunt's old house. Not to mention that Cyrus couldn't have deliberately left his name out for Frank to reveal.

If he wanted to hide, no one in the entire town would remember that he was here.

In the end, Moody and the others naturally found nothing.

However, none of them left.

When the sun was about to set, an old man wearing a gray robe and a beard that reached his belt suddenly appeared on the hillside.

It's Dumbledore!!!

Facing Dumbledore again, Cyrus still felt a lot of pressure.

"Albus." Moody limped forward to greet him, "Is it okay at the school? With all due respect, you'd better be careful about Sirius, he is more dangerous than ordinary Death Eaters!"

"On the contrary, I think Tom Riddle is more dangerous."

As Dumbledore spoke, he stretched his neck to look at the greatly changed Riddle Mansion.

He immediately sighed with emotion: "I have to say that Riddle's aesthetics are much better than before. I am very happy that he no longer likes the dark house environment."

"I don't know any other sight that is more darker than Hogwarts Castle." Cyrus complained unwillingly, "If you catch Tom Riddle, I think before you send him back to Azkaban you should let him help you design the castle."

"That's a good idea, Delis." Dumbledore nodded as if he was really thinking about it. "Alastor, have you discovered anything?"

"Four miles away, there is an abandoned house of the Gaunt family, and there are strong traces of magic there." Moody said, "It is certain that Riddle stayed here and did something, but I can't find his current location."

"I'm very interested in what he did!" Dumbledore said forcefully, "Just in case, I want to make sure that there shouldn't be any tragedy nearby, right?"

"No, why do you ask that?"

"Nothing, just a little worry about an absconding criminal." Dumbledore pondered for a moment, "Since he didn't leave anything behind, it means he must have taken something away. It seems we are still late. "

Moody had long been used to Dumbledore's nagging.

The old guy kept his secrets only to himself.

"Did you find anything else?"

"Delis found a snake," Tonks said quickly.

"The snake is no different," Moody said.

However, Dumbledore was unwilling to let go of the possibility, and, most importantly, he could also speak parseltongue!

So he immediately said to Cyrus: "Can you bring it to me to see?"

Show it to Dumbledore?

Although things like memory can be modified, it is not difficult for a powerful wizard to find traces of modification. Just like Dumbledore could easily see through Slughorn's manipulation of his own memory; Voldemort could also dig out the damaged memories of a wizard who had been cast the Oblivion Curse many times.

If Cyrus had known that Dumbledore would come, he would never have brought Delis who had turned into a snake.

But now, he actually doesn't have much pressure.

"Sure."
