Although the snake whisperer is the symbol of Slytherin and his successors, it does not mean that ordinary people cannot learn snake whispering.

At least, in the original work, Dumbledore successfully learned Parseltongue and became a Parselmouth - of course, such Parseltongue is not inherited.

It just so happens that in terms of IQ and language talent, Ye Ting is not inferior to Dumbledore, but even surpasses him. Therefore, in addition to the languages ​​​​of various humanoid magical creatures such as murloc, centaur, and giant, , even he successfully learned the snake language.

Now is the time for him to use this skill.

So, he started his second attempt.

He raised the sword again, looked at the locket, held his breath, and was ready to take action at any time.

No one knows what dangers an open locket poses, so the sooner the locket is destroyed, the safer they will be.

After getting ready, Ye Ting spoke to the locket

"Open——"

To Hermione and Fleur's ears, it was a hissing growl.

The next moment, the small golden cover of the locket popped open with a click.

There was a living eye blinking behind each of the two small glass windows, black and bright, just like Tom Riddle's eyeball before it turned red and the pupil turned into a line.

This pair of terrifying eyes immediately stared at Hermione who was fixing it, startling her.

"I saw——"

Before he could finish his seductive words, a ray of silver light flashed by.

Ye Ting looked at the locket with a cold expression, completely ignoring its temptation and its spiritual magic.

The Endless Sword struck down instantly.

Although the sword could not hurt Hermione at all, the girl was still caught by the sword's edge and involuntarily stepped back, then sat down on the ground.

There was a metallic clang, followed by a long scream.

Just like the scene where the first two Horcruxes were destroyed, a terrifying black spirit emerged from the locket, then struggled painfully in the air, and finally disappeared into ashes.

In the end, this precious Slytherin relic was completely turned into tatters under the destruction of the Infinity Sword.

The glass of both small windows was punctured, Riddle's eyes were gone, and wisps of smoke came from the colorful silk lining of the locket. The thing that lived in the Horcrux disappeared.

This time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This was the third Horcrux they had destroyed - the fourth including Harry himself.

Next, there are three Horcruxes waiting for them.

In fact, when Ye Ting, Hermione and Furong destroyed two Horcruxes in succession, Zhang Qiu and Penello gained a lot.

Their mission is to find Hufflepuff's golden cup, which is not an easy task.

The four relics of the four founders of Hogwarts have always been legendary items. They occasionally appear in history, but will soon disappear again, which makes people have to believe that the existence of these relics Just hearsay.

However, just like Ye Ting's search for Slytherin's relics started with the descendants of Slytherin, Zhang Qiu and Penello quickly determined the direction of their search: first, they searched for the descendants of Hufflepuff..

Although relics are likely to be lost as they are passed down from generation to generation, compared to finding a needle in a haystack, starting with the descendants of Hufflepuff is a safer direction.

Through Ye Ting's relationship, the two girls were able to search for Hufflepuff's descendants in the Ministry of Magic's files.

Unfortunately, the Ministry of Magic's archives are not as convenient as future Muggles' retrieval of archives via computers.

It took Zhang Qiu and Penello several days to find relevant information among the old papers.

In the early 20th century, there was indeed a witch named Hepzibah Smith who claimed to be a descendant of Helga Hufflepuff.

What made them even more excited was that the witch was very wealthy and an avid collector of magical antiques.

A wealthy wizard - especially an antiquities collector - is more likely to possess Hufflepuff relics than an ordinary person, and the collector is himself a Hufflepuff heir (even if the purported ) is greatly increased.

After all, ordinary wizards may sell off the antiques left behind by their ancestors due to poverty. Many declining pure-blood families have done this kind of thing.

Even now, there are still many pure-blood families selling antiques in their homes in order to maintain a luxurious life.

But a wealthy collector would never do that.

On the contrary, such a wealthy collector will try his best to collect antiques, especially this witch who claims to be a descendant of Hufflepuff.

Even if she doesn't have Hufflepuff's relics herself, as a descendant of Hufflepuff, she will try her best to find the relics.

So, starting from her is the most likely place to find Hufflepuff's golden cup.

At the worst, you can still find clues to the golden cup.

However, when they were ready to go one step further and want to start from Hepzibah Smith herself or her descendants, they were disappointed to find that Hepzibah Smith had passed away in 1946.

According to Ministry of Magic documents, the cause of Hepzibah Smith's death was that her house elf Hooch accidentally put a rare and deadly poison in the mistress's cocoa tea instead of sugar due to her old eyesight. That led to the death of Hepzibah Smith.

Even the house elf himself admitted this.

Fortunately, although Ms. Hepzibah Smith had no descendants, she did have a family, and her brothers and sisters and their descendants inherited her property.

So they began to search for Hepzibah Smith's surviving relatives.

If there is news about the Hufflepuff Gold Cup, then the news must be in the hands of these people.

Soon, they identified a target, Hepzibah Smith's sister, Manasseh Smith.

The Smith family is indeed a big family. Hepzibah has a total of four brothers and sisters, and she is the second eldest child in the family.

Manasseh Smith was much younger than Hepzibah Smith. She was the youngest of the five siblings, but she also had the best relationship with Hepzibah. Therefore, Hepzibah's estate and A considerable portion of the property was inherited by Manasseh Smith.

Most fortunately, Manasseh Smith himself is still alive.

So, under the recommendation of Bones, Zhang Qiu and Penelo came to visit Manasseh himself.

Manasseh's home was a large Victorian manor in the suburbs of London, and Manasseh himself had always lived in the manor.

After arriving at the manor, the person who opened the door for the two girls was a house elf.

This was probably the thinnest and oldest house elf Penello and Zhang Qiu had ever seen. His head only reached the waists of the two girls. His paper-like skin hung on the frame, just like the thin piece of clothing she wore. Like a linen robe.

Led by the house elves, the girls walked into the manor.
