Chapter 515: Chapter 514 The Missing Golden Cup
At the deepest level of the Gringotts, near and inside the most sophisticated vaults.
There is of course an extremely powerful Anti-Apparition Charm used as a barrier here, and apart from the Apparition Charm of a wizard, even the special magic of a house elf can be defended against by it.
However, the phoenix's special Apparition was not similarly included as well.
In addition to wanting to crack the phoenix's Apparition being more difficult, it was still primarily the fact that in the entire magical world, there was only one phoenix that could follow the orders of a wizard throughout the entire magical world, and that was only the Phoenix of Dumbledore's family.
And if Dumbledore wants to sneak into the Gringotts, then whether or not he has the help of the phoenix is all the same to him.
Therefore, the Gringotts did not have any defence against this, which led Jon to enter inside very easily.
He followed the information that Dumbledore had helped him to determine, and soon found the door of the vault belonging to the Lestrange family, which was protected by special protective magic, and couldn't be opened through conventional means without the corresponding treasury key, but this wasn't a difficult task for Jon at all.
He directly touched the vault's door itself with his ring-wearing hand, and in the next second, all the magic power attached to the door was absorbed as much as possible, and then the whole of this vault's door directly disappeared as well.
Because the door itself was made of magic.
What was revealed in front of Jon was a cave, which was stuffed from floor to ceiling with gold coins and golden wine cups, silver armour, the furs of various exotic creatures with ridged spines or dangling wings, magical potions in precious vials, and a skull that was still wearing a crown.
In the face of these exotic treasures, Jon didn't even blink his eyes, he just stretched out his hand and gently waved his fingers, and without even needing to touch them, all the things in the entire vault floated up!
Like soldiers on parade, they floated past Jon's eyes in formation and then regrouped in the centre of the treasury.
In less than 10 minutes, he had already examined every single item here, and none of them bore the slightest resemblance to the golden cup he had once seen in the Headmaster's office of Hogwarts Castle.
After spending some time all over again, Jon searched a second time, but the results were still the same.
With these, his complexion became totally grim.
Sure enough, just as he had guessed at the beginning, that new 'Voldemort' who had just appeared is one of the Horcruxes that had gone awry, and the Horcrux that could be confirmed to have gone wrong right now is Hufflepuff's golden cup.
The bad news is that this last Horcrux, which could have been solved straight away, is now missing, and the good news is that at least the probability of this world's Voldemort having nothing to do with the original Voldemort is very high.
This was starting to complicate the task of destroying the Horcruxes, which Jon had thought would be simple enough to accomplish.
From the Death Eaters, they encountered today, it was clear that the Voldemort from that golden cup had already begun to make his move, and trying to gather his own men was never something that could be done in a day or two, and no one knew exactly how long they had been missing from public sight.
Thinking about all this, Jon pondered, then he briefly dealt with the protection magic on these treasures in the vault, and then directly emptied the Lestrange family's treasure trove and put it into the pouch that was cast with the Undetectable Extension Charm.
Even if it might be valuable, Jon actually didn't lack these things, it was just that he was somewhat at odds with people with the family name Lestrange, no matter which world's Lestrange they were from.
After doing so, he used Apparition, but instead of immediately going back to Dumbledore and Harry, he went back to one of the hidden streets of Diagon Alley, where he changed his identity and re-entered the Gringotts.
Soon, with the help of the Lestrange family treasures that have not yet cooled down, he said to those goblins that he wanted to rent a vault with a very high level of security, and those goblins who saw the money in their eyes would, of course, serve him well as a big customer, and immediately that goblin supervisor who had only just received Dumbledore and went to the 713th vault met with Jon again in a private room, wanting to determine whether to insure his vault and at the same time, also mention the question of rent and the term of the lease and so on.
Jon casually dealt with a couple of sentences, and after determining that there were no other means of monitoring and listening in this room, he made an immediate decision to directly use the Imperius Curse on this goblin.
Obviously, Jon did not have any kind of dark magic cleanliness, although now that he listened to Lily's words and rarely used Unforgivable Curses anymore, he would not be stingy when he needed to use those curses.
The goblin then became Jon's puppet, at his mercy.
"Has anyone been to the Lestrange family vault recently."
The goblin was silent for a moment, then under the control of the Imperius Curse, his body naturally answered Jon's question.
"Beulah, sir, he was the last person to have gone and checked out all the protective magic within the Lestrange Vault."
"Where is he in person now?"
"He's missing."
Jon's brow furrowed.
"When did this happen?"
"After the last Christmas."
The goblin said like a puppet.
And after hearing the time, it caused Jon to freeze slightly, and soon he went on to ask.
"Was that the same time when he checked the vault?"
"It was on the day after Christmas, and that was the day the vault inventory was done every year."
After receiving this answer, Jon pondered for a long time, and after taking a deep breath he had no intention of staying any longer, the Imperius Curse on the goblin would be cancelled on its own before too long, while he directly used Apparition to return to Dumbledore's and Harry's side.
Meeting the gazes of the two, Jon said bluntly.
"The golden cup has not been found, and I have learnt something from the goblin, that the person who instructed those two Death Eaters to go to Gaunt's old house today to look for the ring is most likely Voldemort from the missing golden cup."
His words made Harry freeze and mutter.
"So. Voldemort really is back?"
Dumbledore, for his part, was lost in thought, his blue eyes meeting Jon's gaze.
"If there was a problem with the Horcruxes, then why did it happen to be at this time of year, when you and Lily appeared in the world?"
Jon shook his head.
"It wasn't at this time of year, the real problem with that golden cup would have occurred six months ago, a few days after Christmas last year. And during that couple of days, a lot of big things happened in the world that Professor Potter and I were in, and I suspect it had something to do with those things."
Dumbledore asked.
"What big things."
Jon said calmly.
"The night of Christmas, Voldemort from two different worlds fused together."
Harry sucked in a cold breath and Dumbledore's face became more grave.
"Then I killed the fused Voldemort who was just resurrected after being killed by Professor Dumbledore's final blow, and he supposedly came back to life for the first time since his time-travel with this world's Horcruxes that day."
