Although it was a treasure thousands of years ago, the gold cup still displays a fascinating color.It has a simple and elegant shape and is engraved with beautiful and smooth lines. Even if it is not Ms. Helga's legacy, it is still a work of art worth collecting.

However, what kind of magical power did Ms. Helga give it when she used it as the academy's symbol treasure?While Sun Zhu watched Sirius carefully drop Professor Slughorn's research results into the cup, he guessed at the founder's intentions.

The sword is sharp and is a symbol of courage; the crown is noble and matches supreme wisdom; the locket is mysterious and can only be opened by Parseltongue, representing the importance of bloodline.

But what does the golden cup, which seems to be used only as tableware and utensils, signify?

"Look, it's working." Sirius's low voice came, faintly excited.

A wisp of black-gray smoke curled out from the amphora, as if it was not a treasure but a lit incense burner.

Sirius pulled her back a few steps, watching the changes in the golden cup with his eyes. At the same time, he took off his tie clip and threw it lightly. The metal tie clip seemed to be summoned by something and chased along the smoke. Go over there and fall straight into the golden cup.

"Huh? What are you doing?" Sun Zhu felt confused.

"It's something that can detect the strength of black magic. I don't know the specific principle, and I'm not sure if it's useful, but it doesn't hurt to try it."

"...You'd better not make anything go wrong."

"Don't be nervous, keep reading." He flicked another tube of liquid in his hand, and under Sun Zhu's keen gaze, it dripped directly into the unopened locket beside him.

"呲-"

Unlike the silent sound when the golden cup was dissolved, the locket made a harsh sound, similar to a whine.

A puff of black smoke came out, and Sun Zhu almost suspected that the locket had been burned by something highly corrosive, and subconsciously covered his mouth and nose.

"This one is indeed stronger." Sirius murmured to himself: "At least today I can confirm that this kind cannot be used."

"...In fact, it can't even be used!" Sun Zhu reminded, "The main ingredient is basilisk venom, which is highly corrosive to everyone's soul. Whether it is Voldemort's or not, it can be dissolved. And Even if it has no effect on the soul, how can Harry withstand snake venom in his mortal body?"

Sirius grinned: "Who told you that they were all poisoned?"

He brought the tube that dripped into the golden cup to his eyes. There were still a drop or two of liquid left in it.Seeing Sun Zhu's slightly nervous expression, he flicked the wall of the tube with his fingers, turned his hand, and gestured to pour it into his mouth.

With no time to react, Sun Zhu almost cursed, but saw him take off a ruby ​​cufflink with his big white teeth.The remaining liquid was dripped on the surface of the gemstone, and it seeped into it quickly, making Sun Zhu's teeth ache.

This guy is dressed like a dog today, why doesn't he do anything about human affairs?She was almost scared out of her body just now, and she was already ready to call Tongzi for outside help, but she didn't know that he would trick her again.

"I don't care whether he lives or lives, Hehe."

Tongzi felt that her host could only think of this sentence and didn't even pay attention to the status of the two Horcruxes at this time.

"Host, the soul piece on the locket has disappeared. Your main line progress has increased by 10%, reaching 25%. You have gained 500 experience points, and there are still 4280 available."

"Oh." Sun Zhu was not as happy as she imagined, probably because she had already regarded it as something in her pocket.

However, she still looked at the golden cup that was still emitting wisps of smoke and the locket that seemed to be burnt for a while, and then looked at Sirius who was putting the cufflinks into the sealed bag.

"What do you mean by what you just said? Why are there such big differences between the two?"

"The locket is inherently more evil, and of course it will suffer more." He got two stools from nowhere, "Sit down, I have to remember how long it will take for it to end completely, as Professor Slughorn requested. "

He pointed at the golden cup, but Sun Zhu went up to take a look and found that the thing that originally fell into the cup had turned into the shape of a button and was motionless.

"Are these two things also your new achievements?"

"Half-finished product." He waved, "I know you are full of questions now, but it's not that I don't want to explain it to you, but... I don't quite understand it either."

After all, when I was in school, I was thinking of ways to sneak around and do no good. I had learned spells and transformations to some extent, otherwise I wouldn't be able to practice Animagus. The magic potion was just a trick.

As a Gryffindor, why should you listen carefully to Headmaster Slytherin's lessons?

Facing Sun Zhu's slightly contemptuous eyes, he scratched his hair, as if trying to remember something, then slapped his forehead and said loudly: "Ah, but I remember that the professor seemed to have mentioned that he used snake venom a few times. The main components were separated, and they were extracted and tested. In the end, it was determined that only two components were effective, one was slightly toxic, the other was highly toxic... more or less, that's it."

Sun Zhu nodded and glanced at his cufflinks: "What are they?"

"Something that can be used to replicate a small amount of samples, maintain activity, and isolate toxicity... This is not an invention. It is one of Mr. Flamel's gifts. It's just that the useful gem was disguised as a cufflink decoration, so it looks like Not too ostentatious.”

"...Is it true? Why do I feel that you and the word swagger appear together?"

She asked Tongzi again: "How long will it take for our Jinbei to be ready?"

"It's estimated to be half an hour away. Host, I suggest you leave here now. I'm worried that snake venom will remain in the black smoke - although most of it has been digested with the soul pieces, but just in case..."

Sun Zhu looked at Sirius, who had his legs crossed and was holding a pocket watch to read the time, and said silently: "Reach out your hand."

He was stunned, holding the pocket watch tightly with one hand and opening the other hand slightly. After Sun Zhu stuffed a black and round pill into his hand, he retreated to the basement door and met with Klee who was guarding there. Che big eyes and small eyes.

"This, what is this..." His expression looked very silly.

"Poison, didn't you just want to commit suicide? I'll help you." Sun Zhu said angrily.

"Oh -" He stared at it for a while, as if he was thinking about whether he should give it to someone to study it, maybe squeeze some value out of it.

"Hey, this is something passed down from my family. Don't do anything with it. The secret recipe won't be passed on to others. If you don't eat it, return it to me."

"It seems it's not poison." He sounded a little regretful, "Does it have a name?"

...What's wrong? It's just an antidote pill produced by Tongzi. What name do you want?

Sun Zhu crossed his arms and said casually: "You can call it Mai Li Su."
