The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 574 Origin (asking for subscription, asking for collection, asking for ticket)
In the memory Harry got today, it can be seen that the 16-year-old Voldemort has been fascinated by power.So even though Slughorn had emphasized the danger of Horcruxes, he still asked further: "How to split the soul?"

Ryan felt that at this time Voldemort probably knew part of how to make Horcruxes, and he was just trying to elicit Slughorn's next answer.But at this time, Slughorn didn't know about it. He said to Voldemort with some unease, "You must understand that the soul should remain intact. Splitting it is a violation and is against nature."

Voldemort didn't flinch, he pressed further. "But how to split?"

"By an act of evil—the most evil of all, by murder. Killing splits the soul, and a wizard who wants to create a Horcrux takes advantage of this destruction: sealing the fragments of the split soul—" said Slughorn. It is clear that he is worthy of being a wizard with an ancient family heritage.He can speak eloquently about this kind of unpopular knowledge.

"Sealed? But how—?" Voldemort asked a step further.But this time, Slughorn didn't answer directly.He shook his head uneasily. "There's a spell, don't ask me, I don't know! Do I look like I tried it—do I look like a murderer?"

"No, sir, of course not," Riddle said hurriedly, "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to offend..." In Ryan's eyes, this is a kind of test, and it is to figure out Slugher for the most critical question in the next step. Where is the bottom line of En.

Slughorn was appeased by his apology, out of habitual care for outstanding students, but also a kind of self-suggestion to himself.he said gruffly. "Where, where, no offense, it's normal to be a little curious about these things... Talented wizards are always attracted to the side of magic..."

"Yes, sir," Riddle said, and at this moment he felt that Slughorn might have become vigilant, so he figured it out and asked the crucial question. "But what I don't understand is—just out of curiosity, what I want to ask is, is a Horcrux useful? Can the soul only be split once? Is it better to divide it into several pieces, so that you can be stronger? For example Say, isn't seven the most magical number? Seven—?"

"My God, Tom!" cried Slughorn, "seven! Isn't it evil enough to try to kill a man? Anyway... splitting the soul is evil enough... and splitting into seven pieces..."

Slughorn, thoroughly disturbed, glared at Riddle.Ryan feels that he should be very regretful in his heart now, as can be heard from the words behind.Slughorn whispered. "Of course, we're talking about hypotheses, aren't we? Just academic..."

The young Voldemort had gotten what he wanted at this time, but he didn't want others to know what he did today.So he reassured: "Yes, sir, of course."

The next thing is that Slug also told Voldemort not to leak the conversation tonight. At this time, he had already realized something was wrong.And this goal coincided with Voldemort's goal.This can also explain why others do not know the reason of this memory.

After watching the young Voldemort leave the office with a full assurance that he would not reveal the matter, Dumbledore signaled everyone to leave.

"I want to thank you for making this puzzle the most important piece." After coming out, Dumbledore said to Ryan and the others immediately. "It confirmed my speculation and proved that everything I did before was correct, and the dawn of victory is just ahead..."

Probably because Professor Dumbledore was too excited, his voice was much louder than usual.The old principals in the portraits on the wall were all woken up and began to eavesdrop on their conversation.A fat wizard with a red nose also pulled out a hearing aid.As a portrait, their ordinary life is very boring.Naturally, he would not let go of this opportunity to hear new stories.

"You already know that Voldemort made Horcruxes in an attempt to escape death," said Dumbledore, "and what we see today is the beginning of his Horcruxes, and shortly after this inquiry Voldemort made his first Horcruxes." A young little witch lost her life. And Hagrid was expelled from school as his scapegoat."

"So you just casually killed someone and your classmate?" Harry opened his mouth in surprise.

"Harry, you are a kind child. But Voldemort is different." Sitting behind the desk, Dumbledore shook his head. "Although I tried my best to lead him to the right path back then, as you can see, I failed. My education created a Dark Lord."

"It's not your fault." Ryan said, "Education is a matter for both parties. It is very inappropriate to simply blame either the educator or the educated after the failure of education. The things that the mysterious person did back then Feel like any normal person would be wary of him."

"When you get old, sometimes you will always recall the past, but these things are in the past." Dumbledore waved his hand. "By the way, where did we just say? Oh, just now we said that Voldemort started his process of making Horcruxes. That's why he didn't die after the first attack on Harry failed."

"So there's his Horcrux hidden somewhere, and a little piece of his soul inside is kept safe forever?" Harry asked.

"More than a small piece, I think you may have felt this before." Dumbledore said, "You heard it just now, what he especially wanted to know from Slughorn was that if a wizard creates multiple souls What will happen to the organ, but he didn't get the answer in the end, because no one would cut his soul so many times before him."

Dumbledore paused for a moment, glanced at Ryan and said: "Four years ago, I knew that Voldemort had created his own Horcrux. At that time, Ryan accidentally obtained a strange notebook and gave it to me. I read it from inside A piece of his soul was found, and although it was very weak, I was sure it was Voldemort's soul. I was even sure it was the first piece of his split soul."

"Ryan?" Harry and Hermione opened their eyes wide at the same time, they didn't know this before.

"Yes, I can only say that I was very lucky at that time. Because this Horcrux is not only a prop to preserve the soul, but also a weapon. In theory, it can release Slytherin monsters. Fortunately, I got this After the incident, Ryan's vigilance allowed us to resolve the crisis once and for all."

"It was just because I had just entered the magic world at the time, so I was vigilant about everything." Ryan said humbly, "I think the mysterious man was still young at this time, so he made such a horcrux to think Prove that you are indeed a descendant of Slytherin."

"This analysis is reasonable." Dumbledore nodded slightly. "The purpose of the Horcrux is to safely seal up a part of your soul. It is very stupid to expose it as a weapon, so I successfully eliminated this piece of soul."

After finishing speaking, Dumbledore took out a glass bottle, which was filled with ashes. If you look carefully, you can find that these ashes should have been a book or notebook before. "But such a Horcrux strikes me as deeply foreboding. It means he's probably already made—or planning to make more Horcruxes, so losing one wouldn't be so dangerous. I don't want to believe that, but No other explanation seemed to make sense."

"The worst news was confirmed in the year when the Triwizard Tournament was held. After I researched something, I obtained another Horcrux of Voldemort from the last residence of the Gaunt family." Dumbledore said in a deep voice Speaking of. "He has always believed that his road to immortality is farther than anyone else's. I think this is where his confidence lies."
