Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

"Horcrux?"

Celica didn't understand.

"It's a dark magic item that makes it difficult to kill. I suspect Joachim made a Horcrux."

Joachim's state reminds Murphy of Tom Riddle's diary. In the original book, it uses Ginny's state after resurrection, which is not a complete entity, but is hazy and closer to a ghost.

Although he was not sure whether the resurrected Tom had some characteristics of the ghost, Murphy could only think of this possibility for the time being.

"As long as we find the Horcrux and destroy it, Joachim should be defeated."

"But where should we find it?"

"Go to his house first to look for clues." Murphy said, "Maybe it's even at his house."

"In this case, you go to Yasim's house to find the Horcrux, and I'll lure him away." Murphy said.

"Remember, a Horcrux could be anything. It could be a diary, a ring, a gem, a necklace, etc. It's probably of special significance to him. After all, it's something that concerns his life. It's unlikely that anyone would just take it from the roadside. Stone does it.”

"It may not be eye-catching, but it usually contains very powerful black magic. As long as you get close, you should be able to find it. But be careful, he may set some traps for his Horcruxes."

Murphy finished the order in one breath, but Celica was still a little confused. There were so many possibilities, 80%, maybe, maybe...

She felt that this plan was not reliable at all.

"Are you in danger?" Celica asked.

"Nonsense! Of course there is! So you must find the Horcrux or other clues to kill him as soon as possible. If you delay for too long, I will definitely be dead."

"Okay, okay..." Celica felt that she had a heavy responsibility.

"are you ready?"

"Huh? Are you leaving now?"

"Your symptoms can't be delayed any longer." Murphy said, grabbing Celica's hand after saying that, "Close your eyes and just think about following me."

"Apparate."

The next moment, the two people suddenly appeared on a roof. Murphy glanced in the distance and found the house under the oak tree that Celica had mentioned. He apparated again and came to Joasim's cabin.

"Dingling bell..." A harsh ringing sound suddenly rang.

Murphy glanced at the bells on several small wooden stakes around the wooden house, and smashed them with a flick of his wand.

"Anti-intrusion warning spell, it's coming soon. Hide inside and don't let it see you." After Murphy finished speaking, he flew directly into the sky.

Sure enough, a transparent figure in the distance suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Murphy.

Murphy was not polite, "Expelliarmus!"

It was the only spell Murphy tried that might have worked on Joachim's ghost.

The disarming spell was blocked, and Murphy didn't stop. He turned into black smoke and ran away.

He couldn't apparate. In order to keep the other person's attention on him, he needed to make himself visible.

The ghost seemed to be irritated, and suddenly let out a roar, and a series of magic spells chased Murphy.

Moreover, as a ghost, he can float. Although his speed is slow, combined with phantom transformation, his maneuverability is not much worse than Murphy's flight.

The two of them chased each other and soon fled away from the hut.

On the other side, Celica cracked a magic trap at the entrance and used her true form to look for possible clues in the hut.

Soon, she found a hidden secret door.

Behind the secret door was a cellar from which a terrible stench came.

Celica threw two fluorescent light balls in, but they still couldn't light up the cellar. She had to muster the courage to walk down the stairs.

The cellar seemed to have been cast under a traceless stretching spell, making it appear very spacious.

The ground was wet and covered with cobwebs. Celica walked inside and soon saw something unusual.

Those were some iron cages that had been placed there for an unknown number of years and were covered with rust.

In several cages, Celica also saw human bones.

Moving forward, there are more and more cages, and occasionally one or two hospital beds will appear, stained with blood.

There are blood-stained bandages, unknown dirt, and occasionally skeletons everywhere, either complete or scattered, and some are even smashed into pieces.

Moving forward, Celica suddenly heard something. It seemed like someone was crying or struggling.

Celica was already trembling all over, but thinking that Murphy was still fighting the scary ghost outside, she had to force herself to move forward.

Soon, she came to the end of the cellar. There were many symbols and words scrawled on one wall, and two hospital beds were placed beside the wall.

On each hospital bed, there was a half-rotted person tied to it.

They are still moving, still struggling to get up from the hospital bed, and translucent ghost bodies can be seen in their almost rotten chests and limbs.

This cellar was so terrifying that it was so terrifying that even with Selika’s imagination, it was impossible to guess what it had been used for.

But she was certain that it would definitely be something that would give her nightmares for a whole month.

She didn't want to know at all.

But between the two hospital beds, there was a medicine table filled with various utensils and bottles, with a notebook placed on it.

notebook!

However, there was no scary feeling of black magic in it. She hesitantly opened the notebook and found that it was the diagnosis and treatment notes of Joachim Herr, which recorded some of his attempts to treat the Black Death.

She turned a page.

"On July 3, someone died in the village. Many people died outside. I knew that the plague had finally come here. I persuaded the villagers not to go out and tried to treat them with white vegetables, refreshing drugs, etc., but it didn't seem to be very effective. .”

"On July 7, two more people died. Just digging out the damaged flesh and blood didn't work. The villagers began to be afraid, but the Black Death outside was even more terrifying. Where could they go?"

"July 9. People have started to go crazy. Once people become desperate, they may become unable to control themselves. I have to give them some hope. I have to make them believe that they can be cured. Maybe, it's time to use that Time for the spell.”

She turned to the next page.

"July 13th. After treatment, people are much happier. They believe that I will defeat the disease, and people can live a stable life again."

"July 15th. People still died. I deceived them. I couldn't cure them at all!"

"Ganari is dead. She was only four years old. She was very cute. She...she is dead. I can't do anything. Maybe my father is right. I shouldn't get too close to Muggles. I care about them too much..."

"On July 17, Gaolan died."

"On July 18, Antone and Farrugia died."

"On July 20, the bodies of the Ferdo family were discovered."

Celica turned another page.

There was only one line of writing on it, twisted and scrawled, like the ravings of a drunken person.

"This is hell."

…

"August 10th. I locked myself in my room and didn't go out for a month. More people were dying. Some people were crying and asking me for help, but what could I do? What else could I do?"

…

"Don't force me! Don't force me!"

…

"On September 2, I have to cheer up, they still need me."

"I'm going to persevere, I decided to use the mind seed on myself."
