At this stage, there are only three possibilities before Mike.

First: Penelo and himself were both wrong. What Chris got was not the real Slytherin pendant box, but a high-quality imitation and authentic product.

But this possibility is very small, because even if Penelo is young and lacks ability, the appraisers invited are unreliable waste, but she still has the supervision of Uncle Mario around her. You should know that the people who are found like Uncle Mario are absolutely reliable. Mike doesn't think those people dare to deceive Uncle Mario, because there is no need at all. Even if they can't identify Uncle Mario, they won't do anything to them. But if they dare to lie, then Uncle Mario will definitely make them worse than death afterwards.

Second: Chris didn't even want to hand over the real pendant box to himself. The one he took out now was a fake made by rushing to work!

This is the most likely option that Mike thinks. After all, he and Chris had a big relationship before, so it is not surprising that Chris would choose to take revenge like this.

Third: What Chris took out was the authentic product, but the Voldemort soul split inside was removed by him using some means.

This is the least likely option, because Slytherin's pendant box belongs to the milder Horcrux. Although it will also deceive the owner, its influence is gradually progressive. In just two days, Chris would never find out that this is a Horcrux!

In just a few minutes, Mike's mind was running rapidly, and he analyzed the three possibilities one by one, but since the possibility of option one and option two is very high, Mike was still very entangled.

In the end, Mike decided to test it!

Thinking of this, Mike slowly raised his head and looked at Chris opposite him with a violent murderous intent.

"You just use this to fool me?"

Mike's voice was as gloomy as the whistle of a wild beast, and combined with the powerful magic field emitted by the violent emotions around him, it made people feel chilled.

Chris obviously noticed Mike's emotional change, and a silver-black curved wand appeared in his hands instantly.

"What do you mean?"

"The thing you took out is fake!" Mike looked at Chris coldly and threw the pendant in his hand over, "I think you have no sincerity at all!"

As soon as this said, the expression on Chris's face turned into surprise.

Seeing this, Mike was delighted. His right finger, which was hidden under the coffee table, shook a few times, and then a silent and invisible wave of magic power floated towards Chris.

Mike uses the God-taking thoughts!

This simple version of the God-taking idea is not as powerful as it is used with a magic wand. It can completely invade the target's brain and randomly browse the memory inside. All it can do is to observe a small amount of thoughts in the moment of the target.

But even so, it is enough to use it as a lie detector in such a situation where the target mentality is lost!

However, when the God-Surveillance thought hit Chris, Mike's brow frowned.

There is no other reason, just because he can't even peek at Chris's thoughts!

Mike instantly understood what was going on - Chris would also have brain closure!

At this time, the surprise on Chris's face had calmed down. He stood up from the sofa chair with his magic wand, and said with a loud smile:

"What I took out is definitely genuine! Hahaha! Mike, Mike, you don't need to use this method to save the price, because I don't want much! I know that you have been secretly collecting relics from the four giants of Hogwarts, so you probably have collected one of them. So, Mike. As long as you exchange any of the Ravenclaw crowns and Hufflepuff gold cups with me, I will give you the Slytherin's pendant box. At the same time, I can also give you a guarantee that as long as you are yours, we Slytherin will not provoke you, what?"

As soon as this was said, Mike's pupils shrank again.

Among the relics of the four giants of Hogwarts, only Gryffindor's sword was not made into a Horcrux by Voldemort, and Chris now doesn't want Gryffindor's sword. Is this a coincidence?

"Don't you want Gryffindor's sword?" Mike looked at Chris with a blank expression. "Gryffindor's sword fell into the hands of a Slytherin, which will definitely drive Gryffindors crazy. As a Slytherin, isn't this what you most willing to see?"

Hearing this, Chris burst into laughter. His laughter was so loud that even the flames in the fireplace in the reception room started to move.

Chris laughed for a long time, so long that Mike began to suspect that he was pretending to laugh and thinking about how to answer his question before saying:

"Mac, you're right. In fact, if you have the ability to get that legendary silver sword out of the branch hat, I would be happy to exchange it with you with Jin Gallon or something, but Slytherin's pendant is absolutely not good! I think you don't know much about the founder of our academy, Mr. Slytherin. He is a proud man. It can be said that he has never looked down on the idiot of Gryffindor, so if I trade the pendant of Slytherin for the sword of Gryffindor, it would undoubtedly be an insult to Mr. Slytherin, because this means that the two of them are equal! Do you understand?"

Chris's explanation was reasonable and Mike was speechless for a moment.

And now, since the pendant box Chris took out was not a Horcrux at all, he was not interested in arguing with Chris again.

As for the pendant box of Horcrux Slytherin, Mike is sure to have a lot to do with Chris, but he can't directly attack Chris yet.

You know that he still has something to do in Hogwarts, and it would be bad if he was fired because of a rash move.

But Mike was not in a hurry. The comprehensive strength of the Freemasons has now expanded to a terrifying level, and even places like the Gringott have been compromised by them.

So it's amazing that after looking back on holiday, he rushed into Chris's house with his Masonic friends. Mike didn't believe that Chris could tell any lies when the wand was pressed against his head!

Thinking of this, Mike shook his hand and walked out the door without saying anything.

Chris, who was behind him, smiled and shook his head, sat back on the sofa and said loudly:

"Mike, my promise is effective for the long term. If you change your mind, come to me!"

The answer to him was a loud bang when the door was closed heavily.

In the Slytherin lounge, when Mike came out of the reception room, he saw the Weasley brothers holding magic wands and confronting a large group of Slytherin students.

Several of the Slytherin's lower graders were covered in dust, and there were a few new scars on the Weasley brothers' faces.

I guess a battle broke out here before Mike came out.

Seeing Mike appear, the Slytherins instinctively took a few steps back, but the wand in their hands was still aimed at the three of them.

Mike instantly understood what was going on.

The news he and Chris made in the reception room just now was quite big. The Slytherins must have wanted to enter the reception room to check the situation inside.

Then, they had a conflict with the Weasley brothers.

But judging from the rising corners of the Weasley brothers, they should not suffer any losses in this conflict.

That's all. McCriss silently put away his wand, ignored the Slytherins who were looking at him nervously, walked towards the exit, and the Slytherins around him made a way out in fear.

Seeing this, the Weasley brothers followed, and before leaving the lounge, the two of them gave the Slytherins inside a provocative gesture, making the Slytherins want to come out and beat them up now.

However, this is of course impossible. After all, they are not stupid. With Mike, they will not go up and seek death.

"Mike, is things going well?"

On the way back to Ravenclaw's lounge, George observed Mike's face and said carefully.

"That's right," Mike replied without looking back, "the other party is not sincere."

"Oh, then he's really ignorant." Fred raised his eyebrows, "How about that, Mike. Anyway, we both want to escape from Hogwarts, do we want to teach him a lesson before we leave?"

Mike turned his head and looked at Fred. Although he knew that the other party had good intentions, he was speechless because of the other party's childishness.

The Weasley brothers' thoughts were still in their school days, and the highest level of revenge that could be imagined was probably to tease Chris hard.

But Mike was not satisfied with this.

People like Chris are hiding too deep. If they want to attack him, Mike will definitely choose to kill with one blow!

Sighing, Mike said:

"No need, Chris is not that simple, don't act rashly."

After saying that, Mike speeded up and walked towards his own lounge.

The Weasley brothers looked at each other and then chased after a while.

...

In a forest in the eastern part of Yingguo, an old villa with mottled exterior walls stands alone.

A huge black raven flapped its wings and flew through the dense woods in an extremely agility and flew straight towards the villa.

The raven was very fast and soon flew to the front of the villa. It continued to fly forward as if it had not discovered the existence of the villa at all.

If nothing unexpected happens, this "blind" raven will definitely hit and die on the exterior wall of the villa.

But just as the tragedy was about to happen, the space around the villa was rippling with translucent waves. Then the raven climbed up at the last moment, bypassing the dangerous wall and flew into the sky!

In a room on the second floor of the villa, Dumbledore, standing at the window, looked at the raven gradually moving away and nodded with relief.

This is the safe house with the strongest protection ability that Dumbledore possesses. Not only are there any protective spells that can be attached around it, but also a spell of loyalty in itself, which can be said to be as solid as a god.

At the same time, this is also the first and most important base of the Order of Phoenix. Only the most core and most powerful members, such as Moody, are qualified to know the existence of this base.

As for ordinary Order members like Mr. Weasley, Dumbledore is actually not unwilling to tell them, but to be honest, how can you believe that a person who doesn't even have brain closure can keep a big secret?

The reason why Dumbledore wanted Harry Potter to learn brain closure was not only because he wanted to get Harry out of those annoying nightmares, but also because he wanted to hide Harry here.

After all, there is basically no safer place in the entire Ying Kingdom than here.

“Cruff!”

The old door made a sound of old age. Dumbledore, who was looking at the view outside the window seriously, turned his head and looked behind him. Then he saw Moody had pushed open the door and limped towards him.

"Dumbledore!"

Moody was arguing, looking a little angry, and his tone was a little sturdy.

Dumbledore turned his head and glanced at him, took a sizzling bee candy from the coffee table next to him and stuffed it into his mouth before saying to him in a daze:

"Alasto, is there anything wrong?"

"Why did you leave Hogwarts!" Moody said furiously, while still approaching Dumbledore, the wooden prosthetic leg stepped on the floor and made a rapid sound, "Who will protect Harry Potter when you leave now?"

"Minerva is still in Hogwarts, she will protect Harry."

Dumbledore said calmly, his attitude angered Moody. Moody waved his arms and said hysterically:

"I guess you must be crazy! For the sake of the Weasley brat and that Mike, he actually left Hogwarts! You abandon our plan and ignore it. You must know that the prerequisites required to complete the prophecy are the most important. If Harry has any accidents, it will be all over! Voldemort will unify the magic world!"

"Alasto, I have said that Minerva will take good care of Harry." Dumbledore bounced the dust on his body helplessly. Moody's voice just now was too loud, and a lot of dust on the ceiling was shocked. "If Ron and Mike were my students, I wouldn't be able to sit and watch them persecuted. Moreover, I do this, I want to leave another possibility."

"Maybe? What might you mean? Are you expecting those little guys to defeat..."

Moody suddenly got stuck in the middle of his words. He suddenly remembered that the little wizard named Mike did have talents and strength far beyond others!

Could it be that Dumbledore wanted to wait for that Mike to grow up and defeat Voldemort?

As soon as this idea appeared, Moody shook his head vigorously. This idea was too unrealistic and he really didn't want to believe it.

But Dumbledore opposite him said in a long voice:

"Actually, I don't think we should put all the eggs in a basket. If we give other young people some opportunities, maybe they can give you some unexpected responses."

Dumbledore looked at the disbelief on Moody's face and turned his head with a smile. At this moment, a flame suddenly exploded in the room. Then, a dazzling phoenix emerged from the fire and landed on Dumbledore's shoulder.

"Good boy," Dumbledore touched Phoenix Fox's head, "Have the stuff been delivered?"

Phoenix Fox called out, and seeing this, the smile on Dumbledore's face became even brighter, and he said with a smile:
Chapter completed!
