Shortly after Dumbledore left, a figure emerged from thin air without warning. He raised his wand and looked around alertly. He glanced at the destroyed house in front of him and then looked at the watch on his wrist. After making sure that there was no one else around, he slowly lowered his wand and walked towards the entrance of the secret room under the ruins.
The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic failed to break into the Chamber of Secrets, or rather, they were blocked outside by the protective measures left by Voldemort. Obviously, a more professional curse-breaking team was needed to break the dangerous spells and hidden entrance to the Chamber of Secrets left by Voldemort.
As for leaving someone to guard here
Don't joke. If any Death Eaters show up or Voldemort returns, the Aurors left behind to guard the Chamber of Secrets will be dead.
As for Dumbledore, he naturally guessed what might be hidden underneath, but he was in a hurry to rush to the Ministry of Magic to rescue Harry, and had no time or energy to enter the Chamber of Secrets.
So, Voldemort's "legacy" was taken over by Albert.
Of course Albert knew that there might be danger in the secret room, but he still didn't intend to give up. After planning for so long, there must be some gains.
Moreover, the Felixir can help Albert avoid most dangers and greatly reduce the risk of entering the secret room.
Despite this, Albert still put on his best dragon-skin gloves before walking towards the entrance of the secret room with his wand.
As soon as he stepped onto the downward stairs, Albert stopped and threw a ball of light downwards, completely illuminating the space below.
There were tables and chairs in the secret room, with a candle on the table. There must have been some things on the desk, but they had been taken away by the Aurors.
But these things should be just appearances.
If this is really Voldemort's lair, there must be more than just those things. Otherwise, after the Aurors arrived, Voldemort would definitely leave at the first opportunity instead of exposing himself to the Aurors.
Albert narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around, looking for any traces of magic.
There were traces of magic everywhere, but Albert still found some clues. He walked to the right, raised his wand and tapped the wall twice.
Nothing happens.
"Open."
Albert spoke in Parseltongue to the snake-shaped decorations on the wall.
The next moment, the real entrance to the secret room suddenly appeared in front of Albert.
That’s right, the so-called Chamber of Secrets is actually just a cover to cover up the real Chamber of Secrets, and the real Chamber of Secrets needs to be opened using Parseltongue. This should be the pride of the descendants of Slytherin.
Albert did not rush to enter, but threw a bright ball of light into the secret room, completely illuminating the space inside.
The chamber of secrets was very spacious, with an experimental table in the middle and many large cabinets around it. In addition to a large number of books and scrolls, there were also various dark magic items, which were undoubtedly gadgets made or collected by Voldemort.
"Looks like good luck."
Albert was in a good mood. He took out a bag from his robe pocket, then took out a large box from the bag. After opening it, he gently waved his wand. All the parchments and books jumped off the cabinet and neatly jumped into the box. He took away all the non-magical books and parchments, and the results of Voldemort's decades of research belonged to him.
Anyway, Voldemort will die soon, and it would be a pity to leave these things here to rot.
As for dark magic items, Albert would not risk touching them, even with dragon-skin gloves on.
However, he had already prepared for this.
Albert took out a pair of dexterous wooden hands and cast a spell on them, allowing these hands to take the dark magic items on his behalf and seal them in a box.
"There are so many dark magic items, enough for me to open a dark magic store." Albert joked. He actually hadn't figured out what to do with these dark magic items.
However, these were all his spoils of war, so instead of leaving them here, he might as well take them all away.
Albert sealed the items in the Chamber of Secrets in a box cast with a strong shielding spell. He planned to hide them somewhere later and deal with them after Voldemort died.
After clearing out everything here, Albert walked around the empty secret room, looking for any traces of magic.
No one stipulates that there can only be one secret room.
Albert suspected that there was probably a laboratory hidden here. At least he himself had a laboratory, and Voldemort, who often needed to experiment with dark magic, also needed a laboratory.
It turned out that Albert's guess was correct. There were other secret rooms hidden here, and there were two of them.
He found a snake-like mark on the candlestick on the wall of the room, and there was a similar mark on a bookshelf, which was suspected to be a revolving door.
"You're really good at hiding. Is this influenced by Slytherin?" Albert joked, but also admitted that using Parseltongue was indeed a good idea.
At least it would be difficult for anyone except Voldemort himself to discover the secret here.
After switching the language to Parseltongue, Albert successfully turned on the switch behind the candle. Inside was a very ordinary room with only a bed and an old cabinet.
There are many historical items on the cabinet.
"I didn't expect Voldemort to have a collecting habit, but why did he like to use the relics of the Hogwarts Big Four to create Horcruxes?"
Albert began to count the things in the cabinet: a piece of metal that looked like the Eye of Horus, but there was no trace of magic on it; a very old parchment scroll, which also had no trace of magic; a metal plate with words branded on it, a stone plate that looked like it was from Mayan civilization, and a skull that looked like a human. Anyway, there were many things that Albert could not identify.
Things that can be collected here must be very valuable, and they are not magical items.
All these things became Albert's trophies, and he naturally took them all away without hesitation.
He soon found Voldemort's vault behind the cabinet. There was no protective magic on it, and it was just there for Albert to take.
Unfortunately, Voldemort was not rich. Albert doubted whether there were more than two thousand Galleons in the small vault. In fact, many of them were not Galleons, but currencies of other countries.
"What a poor bastard." Albert muttered. He suspected that this was the two thousand Galleons in the mission reward.
In short, all these galleons belong to Albert.
He searched the entire room again, and after taking away all the hidden things, he suddenly understood that Voldemort was unwilling to give up this place.
There were four large boxes full of Voldemort's harvest over the past few decades, and he just washed them away... and inherited them.
Albert suddenly looked forward to the other secret room.
When Albert used Parseltongue to open the secret room hidden behind the bookshelf, his good mood suddenly disappeared. The secret room was indeed a laboratory.
On the shelves inside were stored various disgusting organs soaked in green solution, and a mummified corpse that looked like an Infernal corpse. Albert suspected that the thing was still alive, so he conjured up a chain and tied it up tightly.
The corpses of werewolves, vampires, and various humanoid magical creatures can be found here. Voldemort has obviously studied where the wizards' magic comes from.
There is also a unicorn skeleton next to the shelf. The originally holy horn has been dyed an ominous black color by black magic. Albert suspects that this thing is highly poisonous or even a very dangerous black magic item.
The most gratifying thing is that Albert found a lot of magic materials, many of which are even very rare.
After all, those ancient dark arts sometimes require the use of potions.
Albert rolled away all the materials inside. As for the corpses soaked in the green solution, he had no intention of taking them away. Instead, he planned to set a fire to burn all the remaining things to destroy all traces. Otherwise, Voldemort would definitely be suspicious when he found out that his lair had been emptied.
No, maybe he would guess that he did it
However, both sides were hostile and wanted to kill each other. Albert naturally would not be polite. After he searched carefully, he stood at the entrance and released the devil's fire, burning the place to ashes.
Looking at the blazing devil's flames, Albert waited for ten minutes before extinguishing the flames again. After clearing away the traces left behind, he left quietly.
He planned to find a place to hide the boxes of loot separately to avoid tracking magic on them. Even if they were stored in boxes with strong shielding spells, Albert still couldn't guarantee that Voldemort would not find them by tracking magic.
It won’t be too late to dig the things out after Voldemort dies. Voldemort doesn’t have many years left to live anyway.
After making sure that he had not forgotten anything, Albert packed up and went home to rest. He had been busy and nervous all night and needed a good rest.
After going back to the past through the time converter, Albert returned to the manor and found someone sitting in the hall.
"I'm done."
"Well, I'm done." Albert covered his yawn with his hand and said, "I'm going to take a shower first."
"Did you forget to say something?" Isobel asked expressionlessly.
"I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Tell me, what did you do tonight?"
"To inherit an inheritance."
"That's not funny."
"I found the You-Know-Who's lair and used a covert method to inform the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic. The Aurors blew up the You-Know-Who's lair and drove the You-Know-Who away. After the Aurors left, I inherited the legacy left by the You-Know-Who." Albert shrugged and said, "That guy collected a lot of valuable books and scrolls, but unfortunately he was poor and didn't find many Galleons."
"You... you are not short of money... you should not have..." Isobel was stunned by Albert's audacity.
Although Albert said it lightly, she actually understood it completely.
That is, Albert emptied Voldemort's lair.
"Of course not. I just found a random place to bury it, and planned to dig it out after the mysterious man died and inherit his legacy."
"Will there be any danger?"
"The two sides are sworn enemies, the kind that can't be resolved, so it doesn't matter what we do. It's just revenge for the last duel tournament." Albert looked like he was very vindictive and consoled her, "Now there are Potter and Dumbledore stirring up hatred, and the You-Know-Who can't conclude that it was me. Anyway, I've already burned the place to ashes."
At this moment, Voldemort, who was about to come back to reduce the losses, stared blankly at the ashes in front of him, his expression frozen.
Someone used the devil's fire to completely burn the ruins, and even the secret room below was not spared and was reduced to ashes by the devil's fire.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it all!"
Voldemort's angry roar echoed in the wilderness in the middle of the night, and he now wanted to kill even more.
