Chapter 92

~32 min read 6,388 words

Near dawn, Jane and Dr. Erik arrived at the temporary research institute, preparing to take Thor away.

For this, they even got Thor a fake identity.

Coulson repeatedly explained that Thor stayed voluntarily, but the two didn't believe him, so Phil had to arrange a meeting for them.

After meeting, Thor explained everything about himself to the two.

Jane and Dr. Erik were very shocked after hearing it, but also expressed that they could understand, they just needed some time to digest this massive amount of information.

Jane could never have imagined that she would fall in love with a god.

Thor glanced at Jane quietly.

The atmosphere between the two was a bit awkward.

"You haven't seen Mjolnir yet, right? I can take you to see it."

Saying this, Thor took the two to the area where Mjolnir was located, showing off Mjolnir along the way.

"The hammer head of Mjolnir is made of Uru metal, a specialty of Asgard, which can store a large amount of energy."

"The handle part is made of wood that fell from the World Tree, possessing very strong magical affinity."

"It took the internal energy of an entire star to complete its forging, and it also has my father's magic and divine power blessed upon it."

Speaking of this, Thor's voice stopped abruptly.

Even though he knew his father might not have passed away, the fact that he lost his qualification still made him feel like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat.

Soon, Jane and Dr. Erik saw the legendary Mjolnir.

Unable to suppress their curiosity as researchers, the two immediately walked up and observed Mjolnir carefully, becoming completely fascinated.

They even ignored Chu Yang's existence.

"What a great work of art." Jane praised Mjolnir without reservation and reached out to touch it.

Erik stopped her action and turned to look at Thor, "Will touching it bring any danger?"

Thor explained: "No danger. You can also try to lift it. Of course, this is impossible to do."

Jane didn't believe it, immediately grabbed the handle of Mjolnir, and pulled upward with force.

Chu Yang was a bit expectant.

This is the future female Thor. If she really managed to lift it, that would be a huge joke.

Unfortunately...

Mjolnir didn't move at all.

After trying for a few minutes, Jane gave up and complained: "It's so heavy. Do you usually use it to fight? Won't you get tired?"

Thor laughed proudly: "Of course not! I am the God of Thunder, the most powerful warrior in Asgard!"

After a few sentences, the two began to exchange glances.

Chu Yang couldn't watch anymore and decided to leave this cramped space to them.

Just as he walked out, Phil Coulson bumped into Chu Yang head-on.

The former felt like he had hit an iron plate, seeing stars and feeling dizzy.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Chu Yang looked at him in confusion.

"I was just looking for you. A strange guy suddenly flew in from the sky, a bit like Tony's armor, and is making a huge mess outside. You should go take a look."

Phil looked serious, then took Chu Yang outside the temporary research institute, where an agent in a hood was maneuvering with a bow and arrow against the humanoid armor Phil mentioned. Smoke was everywhere, and a large number of soldiers and agents were injured and fell to the ground.

Even several tanks were scrapped.

After staring at the armor in mid-air for a few seconds, Chu Yang shook his head: "That thing is a different story from Tony's mechanical armor. There is a very strong magical reaction on it."

Phil immediately reacted and said: "Is this something from Asgard?"

Chu Yang smacked his lips, "It's obvious that it came to kill and silence people. Loki wants Thor to stay on Earth forever, in the form of a dead man."

The Destroyer Armor is Asgard's most powerful weapon, and existing weapons cannot cause effective damage to it.

Seeing this, Phil could only call for reinforcements immediately.

Chu Yang looked at the archer who was still containing the Destroyer, thinking that he should be "Hawkeye" Clinton Barton, who was as famous as Natasha in S. H. I. E. L. D.

The arrowheads Hawkeye brought were all special ones with extraordinary power, but hitting the Destroyer was like setting off fireworks, not even leaving a mark.

Being able to temporarily contain the Destroyer was already an extraordinary performance in archery.

During the time Phil was calling for reinforcements, the Destroyer began to exert its true power, gathering energy beams on its body to perform large-scale AOE attacks.

Driven by Odin's divine power, magic, and soul power, the Destroyer had almost no upper limit of energy in its body.

Even with continuous large-scale attacks, there was no sign of energy depletion.

Hawkeye and the agents were beaten and fled in panic.

"What should we do? Reinforcements will take a while to arrive." Phil asked anxiously: "Do you have any way to stall for a while? If this continues, no one here will be able to escape."

Chu Yang glanced at him, "I'm still a student..."

Phil smiled bitterly: "I know, but except for you, no one can deal with it."

Chu Yang shook his head and said: "I refuse moral kidnapping."

Phil's eyes were red with anxiety.

Chu Yang said leisurely: "You have to pay more."

Phil was stunned for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Deal!"

Chu Yang smiled and walked slowly toward the Destroyer.

"Aren't you a magician? What are you going up there for?"

Phil was shocked and wanted to pull Chu Yang back. If something happened, an irreparable rift would form between S. H. I. E. L. D. and Tony Stark.

This would directly affect Nick Fury's Avengers Initiative! The next second, thunderous light erupted from Chu Yang's body.

Immediately after, strange runes appeared on his face, like a facial mask.

Armament Haki, invisible to the naked eye, spread throughout Chu Yang's body.

He took a deep breath, his heart beat wildly, his body temperature climbed, and the whole world slowed down.

Lightning Release Armor, Sage Mode, Armament Haki, and Source Breathing, four buffs were activated simultaneously.

Facing the Destroyer, Chu Yang was as cautious as he was when facing Gin Ichimaru.

Taking advantage of the gap when the Destroyer was attacking Hawkeye and the others, Chu Yang held two wooden swords and performed sword techniques.

During this recent period, Chu Yang from the Demon Slayer world had made great progress in sword techniques in addition to constantly practicing Source Breathing.

He integrated the sword techniques of Sun Breathing and Moon Breathing to create a brand-new sword technique.

This was the first time Chu Yang had performed it.

Source Breathing, First Form: Sun and Moon Rotation.

A blindingly strong light suddenly lit up between heaven and earth, rushing toward the Destroyer. This extremely powerful force made the Destroyer feel threatened.

It couldn't care about attacking other targets and immediately adopted a defensive posture. A thick, pale golden protective shield quietly emerged.

Chu Yang held dual swords, one bright and one dark. The wooden sword in his right hand was burning with golden flames, slashing fiercely at the protective shield.

Ripples appeared on the protective shield, and cracks emerged, but it did not shatter.

After one slash, Chu Yang twisted his waist, and dark energy surged from the wooden sword in his left hand! Like quiet moonlight falling, it slashed the protective shield again! The power of the sun and moon superimposed, producing unimaginable great power.

The Destroyer's protective shield shattered with a bang! The shock generated by the energy explosion swept across the surroundings like a typhoon, blowing people and cars away. In an instant, everything was turned upside down.

Phil Coulson and Hawkeye watched this scene from afar, dumbfounded.

"Do magicians always fight like this?"

The commotion outside, which felt like an magnitude-8 earthquake, alarmed Thor and Jane, who were flirting.

When the two came out, they happened to see the Destroyer being thrown out from the dust-filled sky.

Chu Yang was flying in the air, covered in three different lights—lightning, sun, and moon. His momentum was extremely terrifying. In Thor's eyes, Chu Yang looked more like a god than he did.

Thor swallowed hard and turned to ask Phil: "Is he really a magician?"

Phil's eyes were even more confused than his, "Don't ask me, it's my first time seeing this too."

While the two were talking, the Destroyer climbed up again.

There were only some fine knife marks on the surface of the armor, and it was not severely damaged.

It turned its head to look at Thor, then looked up and locked onto Chu Yang's figure, regarding him as the biggest threat on the field.

Loki, who was controlling the Destroyer, was also startled by Chu Yang, and then decided to prioritize eliminating this human.

The Destroyer took off, flying at high speed in the air, and engaged in a fierce battle with Chu Yang again.

Phil seized the time to evacuate all the researchers in the institute, waiting for support from S. H. I. E. L. D. headquarters.

Thor looked up at the sky, clenching his fists, the frustration and anger in his heart almost reaching his throat.

Thor knew that this Destroyer was sent by Loki to kill him.

As the most valiant warrior in Asgard, he could only accept protection from others at this time.

Jane pulled Thor's arm and said urgently: "Let's leave here first!"

Thor didn't move, his eyes fixed on the Destroyer.

Dr. Erik arrived in time and pulled Thor away with Jane.

The three left the temporary research institute.

Dr. Erik looked back and saw Chu Yang and the Destroyer still fighting fiercely in the sky.

"Oh, my God!"

Dr. Erik took two pills out of his pocket and threw them into his mouth, only then did his emotions stabilize.

After walking a few hundred meters, Thor stopped with an ugly expression.

"Jane, I can't just leave like this. That Destroyer is coming for me!"

"I know it's coming for you, but what can you do?"

"I am the son of God King Odin, the Crown Prince of Asgard. As the God of Thunder, I cannot flee from battle!"

"And I cannot push the responsibilities I should bear onto others!"

Because he was angry at his own powerlessness, Thor's emotions completely erupted.

"Well said, Thor!"

A familiar voice sounded behind him. Thor turned around, and uncontrollable joy appeared in his eyes.

His best comrades and friends had suddenly appeared here.

Sif, Fandral, Hogun, and Volstagg.

The latter three were known as the Warriors Three of Asgard and were Thor's capable subordinates.

Sif was the only female in their small group and was also a famous warrior in Asgard.

Seeing them, hope and strength reignited in Thor's heart.

The four walked up and explained the current situation in Asgard to Thor.

Odin had fallen into a deep slumber, and Loki's abnormality—these situations were exactly the same as the guesses Chu Yang had made before! "He actually guessed everything right!"

Thor looked at Chu Yang with shock and heartfelt respect.

Therefore, Thor secretly made a decision.

After understanding the situation, Thor's comrades immediately provided assistance to Chu Yang, helping him contain the Destroyer's actions.

And Thor, ignoring Jane's dissuasion, returned to the research institute and reached out toward Mjolnir.

"Mjolnir, recognize me again, let me be able to fight alongside them as the God of Thunder and protect everyone here..."

Thor prayed softly.

On the other side, Chu Yang, plus the four Asgardian warriors, still couldn't defeat the Destroyer and could only suppress its actions.

In the final analysis, the dual swords in Chu Yang's hands were just wooden swords made by Wood Release. Even though Chu Yang himself was very strong, it was difficult to break through the Destroyer's hard armor.

As Asgard's most powerful weapon, every inch of the Destroyer was made of materials of the same level as Mjolnir.

In the distant past, it had even fought against powerful enemies like the Celestials alongside Odin.

"My Conqueror's Haki coating is not at a high enough level, otherwise, even with wooden swords, I could cause damage to it."

Chu Yang calculated silently. It should be about time now. No matter how useless the God of Thunder was, he should have picked up Mjolnir again by now.

The thought was fleeting. The next moment, earth-shattering thunder erupted from within the research institute.

Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and joy appeared on the faces of the other four.

The vast thunder light condensed into a beam of light, which not only sent the Destroyer flying but also landed in front of everyone.

The thunder light dissipated, and what appeared before everyone's eyes was Thor, wearing armor and having recovered his divine power! Holding Mjolnir, Thor had regained his former spirit, and thunder light flickered deep in his eyes.

He spun Mjolnir, and thunder followed his guidance, falling and submerging the Destroyer.

However, the Destroyer was not easily destroyed and stood up again, braving the sky full of thunder.

Thor and the others rushed over directly, and the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

Chu Yang deactivated all buffs, returned to his harmless student appearance, and stood quietly on the side to watch the show.

"Aren't you going up to help?"

Phil Coulson, who had been a war correspondent for a long time, suddenly appeared.

"Time's up. If you want to renew the service, you have to pay more!"

Chu Yang glared at him angrily. It wasn't you who went up to risk your life.

"Don't worry, to thank you for your contribution this time, we will prepare a gift of thanks."

Phil Coulson beamed: "I hope we can establish a good cooperative relationship..."

"Cooperation?" Chu Yang waved his hand, "Forget it. Compared to fighting, I prefer staying in the laboratory."

"If you disturb me again with messy reasons in the future, I will be the first to finish you off."

Phil Coulson's smile stopped abruptly.

Chu Yang said: "Also, as a return, this Destroyer armor must be sent to Stark Tower first. After I finish researching it, you can research it."

"If you dare to mess around, I will still be the first to finish you off."

Phil Coulson couldn't smile at all now, and stopped talking with a bitter face.

On the other side, Thor displayed his divine power, successfully ending the Destroyer, and prepared to summon the Bifrost to return to Asgard.

Jane stood in front of Thor, reluctant to part, full of tenderness, her eyes almost stringing together.

The comrades were very sensible and turned their backs, giving the two some time.

The two cherished each other for a while.

Thor then summoned the Bifrost, and a brilliant strong light broke through space, shining on the earth.

"Such strong energy."

Chu Yang watched the Bifrost and couldn't help but sigh. This was the most powerful energy fluctuation he had felt so far.

Just as he was about to leave, Chu Yang noticed that the beam seemed to have deviated, getting closer and closer to him.

Before he could get away, a hand suddenly reached out from the beam and grabbed Chu Yang's clothes.

"Holy shit!!!"

Chu Yang only left behind a curse before being pulled into the Bifrost.

The light disappeared. Coulson looked at the empty grass, his eyes dull, and then a chill rushed straight to his crown!

Something went wrong!

"I lent my assistant to you, and you tell me he was taken away by an alien?"

"Calm down, Tony. To be precise, he was taken away by Thor the God of Thunder."

"So what? Do I have to go and invite Zeus to deal with him?"

"Uh..."

Tony was furious in the laboratory, and even Nick Fury, who rushed over in a hurry, had to retreat three feet.

Phil Coulson bore the brunt of all his anger.

He kept his head down at this moment, not daring to say a word.

"He's just a freshman in college, his real age is only in the first year of high school. You tell me, how is he supposed to survive on that damn alien planet?!"

Tony was a bit hysterical. If it were normal times, "Pepper" Potts would definitely persuade him.

But this time, she didn't say a word, her arms crossed over her chest, looking coldly at Phil Coulson.

She was even angrier than Tony! Phil Coulson was very embarrassed.

He actually wanted to tell Tony that the freshman you are talking about is more like a humanoid weapon than Asgard's most powerful weapon.

Chu Yang can not only live there, but can also live very comfortably.

"Tony, I know you are angry, but you need to calm down now. This incident has already proven my premonition."

"The crisis Earth is facing now is cosmic-level. We need a group of people like you to ensure the safety of Earth!" Nick Fury said with a serious expression.

"Sorry, I can't even protect my own assistant, let alone Earth. You found the wrong person." Tony sneered: "I don't want to participate in your damn Avengers Initiative!"

Nick Fury's face changed. He didn't expect Tony's attitude to be so tough, actually refusing to join the Avengers directly.

Nick Fury said in a deep voice: "Don't be impulsive, Tony."

Tony sneered: "You have investigated me for so many years, you should understand my personality. I just like to be impulsive!"

"Do you remember the New York Times' evaluation of me?"

"Willfulness, arrogance, and conceit are my labels!"

Nick Fury took a deep breath, feeling a headache. He underestimated the importance Tony placed on his companions.

Feeling Tony's irritable mood, Phil Coulson reached out cautiously and said: "I think Yang should be able to protect his own safety."

"He is the most powerful magician I have ever seen."

After speaking, Phil Coulson added in his heart, "And the only magician I have ever seen."

After Tony heard this, the sneer on the corner of his mouth became even stronger, and he couldn't help but mock: "Aliens again, God of Thunder again, and now a magician. When did your rhetoric become as ridiculous as the FBI's?"

Phil Coulson helplessly took out a computer from his briefcase and played the surveillance footage from the research institute at that time.

The entire process of Chu Yang fighting the Destroyer was recorded.

Tony just glanced at it inadvertently, and the whole person was stunned.

Potts stood beside him, looking at the computer screen, full of question marks.

Nick Fury was also seeing it for the first time. He was busy rushing over to appease Tony's emotions and didn't have time to watch it in advance.

The three watched Chu Yang in the picture like a god, shattering the protective shield on the Destroyer that even cannonballs couldn't penetrate with two slashes.

"Wow~~~"

Nick Fury clicked his tongue in wonder and said to Tony: "The magicians in my impression are all hiding in the distance throwing fireballs..."

Tony looked blank, "Me too."

Immediately, he gritted his teeth and said: "I knew this kid was not right! How could an ordinary person easily destroy my armor!"

Phil Coulson said: "Thor taking Yang away should be because he wants him to help solve the current predicament in Asgard. After it's over, he will be sent back."

Tony asked in confusion: "What else can he help with?"

Yeah!

What else can I help with?

Chu Yang thought the same.

So when Thor and Loki were fighting, he didn't make a move, honestly acting as a bystander on the side. Why should he, an outsider, join in the fun when two brothers are fighting? It wasn't until Thor smashed the Bifrost that the smile on Chu Yang's face suddenly froze.

"You destroyed the Bifrost, how am I supposed to return to Earth?"

Chu Yang walked up to Thor angrily.

"Sorry, I forgot!" Thor suddenly realized and bowed his head to apologize.

"You brought me here, what exactly do you want to do?"

Chu Yang asked helplessly.

"In the future, when I become King, I want you to be my military advisor!"

A flash of light erupted in Thor's eyes.

"Just for this?"

Chu Yang's eyes were dull.

"Being able to infer Loki's conspiracy from so little information, your brain is even more powerful than Loki's."

Thor didn't spare his praise and laughed.

Chu Yang felt very uncomfortable. He knew the plot direction, so of course he could guess what Loki wanted to do. This had nothing to do with his brain.

He just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

Asgard is not a good place.

After Odin dies, living here is even riskier than on Earth.

First, Thor's own sister, Hela, returned to Asgard after breaking God King Odin's seal, and then destroyed the entire Asgard. The people of Asgard fled to Earth on a spaceship, and on the way, they encountered the purple potato monster Thanos, and half of them died.

It almost caused the silly God of Thunder to collapse.

Chu Yang didn't want to be in the half that died.

After resolving the chaos caused by Loki, Thor's reputation in Asgard reached its peak.

No one could shake his position anymore, and becoming the next King was almost a sure thing.

Thor's high popularity incidentally made Chu Yang a popular figure as well.

Thanks to the promotion by the famous Warriors Three of Asgard.

They bragged to everyone about how Chu Yang helped Thor defeat the Destroyer on Earth.

They even said it was Chu Yang who saw through Loki's conspiracy and guided Thor to regain his will.

They added a lot of embellishments and bragged a lot.

Now, wherever Chu Yang went, the level of attention was second only to Thor.

He was even granted a private audience by Odin.

To reward Chu Yang for his help to Thor, Odin promised to fulfill one of his wishes.

Chu Yang proposed that he wanted to return to Earth.

Odin shook his head regretfully, saying that there was no other way to send him back until the Bifrost was repaired, and asked him to change to another wish.

It seemed that because he couldn't fulfill Chu Yang's first wish, Odin felt he was losing face. He asked Chu Yang to make a slightly bigger wish and guaranteed that he would help him achieve it.

Thinking that there was no chance to go back for the time being, Chu Yang proposed another wish, "I want to learn Asgardian magic!"

Odin frowned slightly, "It's not that I'm making excuses, but as a mortal, due to physical limitations, it is very difficult for you to learn Asgardian magic. Sorry, I'm afraid I cannot fulfill your wish."

Chu Yang smiled: "You just need to give me a chance."

Odin pondered for a while, smiled, and nodded, "I like your confidence, so I agree to your wish."

Chu Yang began his new journey of learning magic in Asgard.

…………

Harry Potter world.

Recently, Headmaster Dumbledore has often been away from school, and where did he go? No one knows.

Although he wasn't often seen in the past, the number of times he left school alone has visibly increased now.

It's just that the students haven't felt it yet, and the teachers and professors haven't noticed, as if they have become accustomed to this sense of mystery from Headmaster Dumbledore.

Chu Yang has been silently observing everything.

He understands that the more frequently Dumbledore leaves school, the more it proves that the collection of Horcruxes is coming to an end.

Voldemort's Horcruxes:

【Tom Riddle's Diary】 is in Lucius Malfoy's hands.

Because of Voldemort's downfall, Lucius Malfoy is worried about the diary all day long, fearing that his identity as a Death Eater will be exposed. He is probably preparing to get rid of this diary that might bring disaster right now!

It is not difficult for Dumbledore to get it.

【Gaunt's Ring】 was hidden by Voldemort in the old Gaunt house.

The Resurrection Stone is embedded in the ring, and it also has Voldemort's curse. If someone cannot resist the temptation and puts on the ring, the curse will take effect.

Chu Yang has already mentioned this in the fake book, and he believes that with Dumbledore's wisdom, he will definitely be vigilant.

The easiest Horcrux to obtain is 【Ravenclaw's Diadem】, which was hidden in the Room of Requirement along with the fake book.

There is no difficulty in this.

【Hufflepuff's Cup】 is hidden in the vault of Gringotts, which is known as the safest Gringotts in the magical world, but in the eyes of the strong, it is no different from their own backyard.

However, with Dumbledore's personality, he will most likely negotiate with the goblins to get this Horcrux out.

The fifth Horcrux is 【Slytherin's Locket】.

This is a relic of Salazar Slytherin, one of the founders of Hogwarts.

It was passed down from generation to generation in the Gaunt family, his direct descendants.

Later, it was sold to the owner of Borgin and Burkes by Merope Gaunt, Voldemort's mother, for 10 Galleons.

After Voldemort retrieved the locket, he turned it into a Horcrux and hid it in a cave on a lonely island.

Voldemort placed the locket at the bottom of a glass container and then cast a vicious spell. The glass container was filled with a potion, and anyone who wanted to take the locket had to drink the potion.

And this potion would make the person who drank it suffer extreme pain worse than death.

Sirius Black's younger brother—Regulus Arcturus Black drank this potion.

And paid the price of his life for it.

Before he died, he had his house-elf Kreacher take the locket and instructed him to destroy it.

But unfortunately, Kreacher tried many methods but could not destroy the locket.

The locket was protected by Voldemort's powerful magic.

This locket was eventually left behind and hidden by Kreacher in the Black family's old house.

As a supporter of Voldemort's pure-blood ideology, Regulus was once a Death Eater.

Until he later discovered that Voldemort was not promoting the so-called pure-blood ideology at all, but was using violence to suppress everyone who opposed him.

Regulus Black, who recognized Voldemort's true face, chose to betray him in the blow of his faith collapsing! He successfully took the locket and used a fake locket to deceive Voldemort.

But the stigma accompanied him throughout his life.

No one knows that Regulus Arcturus Black was a true hero.

So Chu Yang wrote his unknown deeds into the fake book.

The last Horcrux is Harry himself, or rather, the soul fragment that Voldemort accidentally left on Harry.

The first five are not difficult to find, but the last one might cause difficulties for Dumbledore.

And how to eliminate the soul fragment in Harry's body is a problem for Dumbledore.

After all, he cannot cast spells on Harry with the premise of killing him, in order to eliminate the Horcrux in the simplest way.

According to time estimation, Chu Yang feels that Dumbledore should have found at least three Horcruxes.

Plus Harry, who has always been at Hogwarts, that makes four Horcruxes.

Chu Yang only needs to help Dumbledore collect at most two more Horcruxes to have a chance to completely eliminate Voldemort.

The timing is about right!

Chu Yang suddenly had the intention of showing his cards.

Chu Yang wouldn't dare to say he knows all the dark magic Voldemort is proficient in, but he has a good idea of at least 70% or 80%.

In addition, Chu Yang has been constantly researching ninjutsu, Ghost Dao, and curse techniques during this period, and by drawing inferences from others, he has also invented many spells to deal with dark magic.

No need to worry about being plotted against by strange and evil spells, leading to capsizing in the gutter.

He can completely eliminate Voldemort under foolproof circumstances.

Just as Chu Yang was calculating how to confess to Dumbledore, that night, his room welcomed some guests: Harry, Hermione, and Ron, the three of them came to Chu Yang's room wearing an invisibility cloak.

"Hey, Yang, I'm very sorry to disturb you so late, but you must go out with us now."

Harry said with some difficulty.

"Please, we really need you."

Hermione and Ron looked at Chu Yang eagerly.

Chu Yang nodded, picked up his clothes, changed in the washroom, and followed them out of the dormitory.

It definitely wouldn't work for four people to squeeze into an invisibility cloak.

Chu Yang signaled them to go first and followed behind alone.

The three carefully cleared the way in front.

Chu Yang followed them all the way out of the school and headed straight for Hagrid's hut.

On the way, the trio was hesitant to speak, as if they had something to say, but didn't know how to tell Chu Yang.

Among them, Harry's struggling expression was the most obvious.

Chu Yang smiled and spoke first, "You called me out, it shouldn't be to play an adventure game, right?"

The three smiled awkwardly at the same time.

Finally, Hermione gathered the courage to ask: "Yang, Headmaster Dumbledore told us that you once met Voldemort?"

"Yes." Chu Yang nodded.

Harry suddenly became excited and asked eagerly: "Is Voldemort very scary?"

Chu Yang shook his head: "I don't think he is scary. On the contrary, he looks even weaker than imagined."

Weaker than imagined?

Harry was very surprised by Chu Yang's answer.

He didn't expect Chu Yang to use this word to describe the Dark Lord, who is feared by everyone in the magical world.

Hermione and Ron also frowned. This was not the answer they imagined.

Chu Yang smiled: "If Voldemort were still as powerful as he was back then, he would have appeared openly in front of the world long ago. Would he still need to hide?"

Hermione couldn't help but nod, deeply agreeing.

Chu Yang's positive attitude also influenced them unconsciously, and everyone gradually stopped treating Voldemort as a flood or a beast.

After all, if someone who has seen him with their own eyes is not afraid, why should we be afraid? This was what Harry and the three were thinking in their hearts at this moment.

"Now that you've asked, it's my turn. Tell me, what does Headmaster Dumbledore want with me?"

Chu Yang's question startled the three again.

Hermione asked in surprise: "How did you know?"

Chu Yang said: "Headmaster Dumbledore wouldn't tell you about me meeting Voldemort for no reason."

Hermione realized that she had just let it slip, so she giggled awkwardly.

Harry took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Headmaster Dumbledore hopes you can stay in the Forbidden Forest with me for a period of time."

What's in the Forbidden Forest? There are war trees mutated from the Whomping Willow, and the unicorn clan that treats Chu Yang as a god.

There is also Firenze the centaur, who has a very close relationship with Chu Yang, and the centaur tribe behind him, who hold goodwill toward Chu Yang.

These three forces gathered together can sweep everything in the Forbidden Forest.

This is his home field.

Dumbledore letting Chu Yang accompany Harry to stay in the Forbidden Forest implies that he hopes he can protect Harry well.

This old man, who is over a hundred years old, finally made up his mind to go to war with Voldemort head-on.

However, before destroying the soul fragment in the body, Harry is Voldemort's only chance to turn the tables.

Staying at Hogwarts, Harry will become a target for Death Eaters.

And staying in the Forbidden Forest is not only safer but can also disperse the power of the Death Eaters.

Actually, from Chu Yang's perspective, it would be more efficient to take the war trees and push directly.

It's just that Dumbledore still treats him as a student.

Letting Chu Yang be solely responsible for Harry's safety is already his bottom line.

"It seems the camping gear I bought not long ago will come in handy."

Chu Yang smiled and nodded.

"That's really great."

Harry also showed a smile in his awkwardness.

"I'm very good at setting up tents! When watching Quidditch matches, George and Fred taught me!"

Ron was eager to try, as if he were really going camping in the wild.

"What are you excited about? Headmaster Dumbledore said it's Yang and Harry going to the Forbidden Forest, not us!"

Hermione glared at Ron angrily.

"One more person means one more force to protect Harry, isn't that right?"

Ron retorted righteously.

"It's not one more force to protect Harry, but one more person to drag Yang down!"

Hermione reached out to grab Ron's ear, but he dodged it nimbly.

"Headmaster Dumbledore said Chu Yang can summon unicorns, don't you want to see unicorns?"

Ron whispered in Hermione's ear, acting a bit like a little devil.

For girls, unicorns are an existence that cannot be refused. Which girl would refuse to ride on a unicorn and stroll under the moonlight?

Hermione's attitude suddenly became less firm.

She muttered in a low voice: "The Forbidden Forest is dark and scary. If it's just Harry and the others, they will definitely be afraid. It's different with more people..."

Ron gave her a thumbs up.

As the few of them were talking, they walked to Hagrid's hut, and Hermione stepped forward to knock on the door knocker.

Knock, knock, knock.

Hagrid opened the door sideways, looking mysterious, "Come in."

The warm stove fire drove away the severe cold in the middle of the night, and a wave of warmth surged in everyone's hearts.

Chu Yang looked around and asked: "Is Headmaster Dumbledore not here?"

"He has more important things to do!" Hagrid brought out a few cups of hot tea from the kitchen and handed them to the children.

"This is almost becoming your catchphrase." Ron teased, imitating Hagrid's tone, "Every time we ask about Headmaster Dumbledore, you say that."

Hagrid widened his eyes and shouted loudly: "You have no idea how important the things Headmaster Dumbledore is doing are! He is currently..."

"Hagrid!"

Chu Yang called out quickly.

"Oh! Merlin's beard!" Realizing he almost said the wrong thing, Hagrid gave Chu Yang a look of gratitude.

"In fact, we know what Headmaster Dumbledore is doing. That book about Horcruxes was given to him by us."

Ron looked at Hagrid proudly, "It's just that we don't know where those things are."

Hagrid hurriedly stepped forward to cover his mouth. The oil stains and dirt on his hands almost made Ron vomit.

Taking advantage of the two of them playing around, Hermione turned to Chu Yang and said: "You don't know what a Horcrux is, right?"

Chu Yang smiled and nodded.

"There's something you don't know?" Hermione was a bit excited. Being able to show off knowledge in front of Chu Yang might be the thing she is happiest about at school.

So, Hermione began to recount the whole process of how she found clues about Horcruxes from a book titled "Old Stories About Hogwarts You Don't Know."

The little lady's eyes were bright, like stars in the night sky. After finishing, she stared at Chu Yang with hopeful eyes.

Chu Yang understood and immediately praised: "Hermione, you are so smart!"

Hermione's cheeks flushed, and she held her head high proudly.

"How can you be like this! It was clearly discovered by us together!"

Ron broke free from Hagrid and pulled Harry over in a rush. The latter showed an embarrassed expression.

Chu Yang said helplessly: "Alright, witty and brave Mr. Ron."

Ron nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, you have a good eye!"

Harry thought he was embarrassing and quietly turned his head away, pretending not to know him.

"Children, be quiet. We are going to set off for the Forbidden Forest in a while." Hagrid pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Hagrid, can I know how many Horcruxes Headmaster Dumbledore has found so far?" Chu Yang asked casually.

Hagrid shook his head: "Sorry, I can't tell you the specific number, but there are currently two left that haven't been found."

In terms of difficulty, it is highly likely to be Gaunt's Ring and Slytherin's Locket.

A moment later, Hagrid led everyone deep into the Forbidden Forest.

They stopped in front of a lake.

There was a small wooden house there.

"Alright, this is it." Hagrid introduced his work to everyone in high spirits.

The wooden house is not big, but it is more than enough for four people to live in. It's just that the interior is relatively simple, and except for the bed and the stove, there is almost no decent furniture.

Under Hermione's surprised gaze, Chu Yang took out a small handbag and began to pour things out.

Tents, sleeping bags, camping lights, outdoor folding tables and chairs, toolboxes, hanging ropes, scattered hooks, first-aid kits, pots and pans, etc.

As more and more items fell out of the handbag, the other four opened their mouths wide, shocked.

"Are you moving house?"

Hermione swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"It's not that much stuff."

Chu Yang looked down to check if anything was missing.

Learning Apparition has a clear advantage, which is that he can move freely between the magical world and the non-magical world.

"I have to admit, it's more complete than what I prepared." To hide his embarrassment, Hagrid coughed dryly and asked Chu Yang curiously: "Are you very interested in camping?"

Chu Yang nodded: "Starting from the orphanage, I lived a communal life for too long. If I have the chance, I hope to have more time to myself."

Ron circled the camping gear with great interest. His father's work is closely related to the Muggle world, so he has been exposed to it quite a bit.

Harry whispered: "I remember Professor McGonagall said that the Undetectable Extension Charm is forbidden for personal items..."

Chu Yang smiled: "If everything were done according to the Ministry of Magic's regulations, the joy magic brings us would be much less."

Hermione nodded busily, "I agree!"

Harry fell into deep thought.
