Chapter 535 History of Horcrux

"Albus, how could you show Ryan such a dangerous black magic book? You have to know that he is not even an adult." Professor McGonagall's angry voice came from the principal's office. After confirming the unbreakable vow,

Dumbledore chose Professor McGonagall as a witness, but Professor McGonagall immediately expressed her dissatisfaction after knowing the content of the oath.

"Minerva, this involves many innocent lives." Dumbledore looked at Professor McGonagall and explained seriously, "I also know that this knowledge is very dangerous, but this is the safest way."

"The safest way? Albus, I don't know when we need to push such a young child to the front?" Professor McGonagall asked angrily after hearing Professor Dumbledore's explanation.

"I don't want to do this, but I think Ryan is no longer an ordinary kid. He has enough will and strength to solve this problem. At the same time, only he can solve the problem we are facing."

"Yes, Mr. Principal is right." Ryan nodded beside him. "This is all of my own free will. Please help me!"

After repeated persuasion by Ryan and Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall was finally willing to be the witness. After she nodded, Professor Dumbledore stood up from his chair, then walked around the table and held Ryan's hand with his right hand.

On the right hand, Professor McGonagall took out the wand from her body and nodded the wand head on their intertwined hands.

"Ryan, are you willing to never use dark magic like Horcruxes?" Dumbledore asked.

"I do." Ryan said. As soon as he finished speaking, a thin, dazzling tongue of fire spurted out from Professor McGonagall's wand, like a red and hot metal wire, wrapped around the two of them.

Only in hand.

"Are you willing to do your best to keep these secrets and prevent this evil knowledge from spreading from you?"

"I do." Ryan said. The second tongue of fire spurted out from the wand, intertwined with the first one, forming a thin, glowing red chain. Like a rope, like a brave chain.

Flaming snake.

"Then, the oath is established." Professor McGonagall announced. The flame chains that had been entangled in the hands of Ryan and Principal Dumbledore disappeared instantly, which meant that the oath was established.

"Okay, you can read this book now." After Professor McGonagall left the principal's office, Dumbledore took out a black book with copper covering the corners and spine from the locked drawer.

He handed it to Ryan, and then continued: "But for safety reasons, you can only read this book in my office and cannot take it out."

"I know, I should be able to finish reading this book soon." Ryan said, taking the book with both hands, only to find that the book was just a thin one, and the feel was definitely not like parchment.

"This is a book of human skin?" After touching the cover of the book, Ryan recognized the material of the book. This was because he had seen more than one human skin when he was cleaning up the mutant predators in the radiation world.

"Yes." Dumbledore nodded. "This is the human skin that the author dug out more than a dozen graves, because in the past people thought that it was best to record books about the soul on human skin.

, this book was placed in the restricted area of ​​​​Hogwarts decades ago, but after Voldemort made the Horcrux, I put this book away."

"It doesn't sound too bad." Ryan shrugged. This is much better than the mutants skinning people alive in the radiation world, and Dumbledore also understood what Dumbledore did when he put the book away. It was like being motivated.

For security reasons, detailed process flow charts for the production of certain weapons or some terrible drugs will not be found in ordinary university libraries.

Therefore, Ryan feels that there is no need to be like a person with persecutory delusion. He always thinks that as long as the principal puts away certain books, he is suppressing the younger students. Those who really want to suppress the students are those who read their own books at home and would rather the books rot at home.

Pure-blood families who are unwilling to take it out.

After thinking about these chores, Ryan began to observe the book carefully. At this time, he discovered that there were gilded letters on the cover of the original book, but now they have all been eroded by time.

""The Road to Immortality"" Ryan used the lights in the principal's office to spell out the Latin title. Although the title was bragging, he had to admit that Horcruxes were indeed a genius idea. But this kind of

The shortcomings of eternal life are simply too great.

After opening the book, Ryan discovered that it was a manuscript. The scribe used magic ink mixed with dragon blood and mandrake juice to confirm that the book could be circulated for a long time. In addition to the main content and some illustrations, the descriptions were written between the lines.

The readers’ experiences in the margins allowed Ryan to see the development history of Horcrux production.

Horcruxes first originated from mummies in ancient Egypt. Ancient Egyptian wizards used magic to cut off part of their bodies and cultivate them into another body of their own. In this way, when their bodies were irreparably damaged, their souls would

Abandon the damaged body and use the prepared spare body to resurrect. This magic was later known to Muggles, but they did not know the specific situation. Therefore, there was a local custom of making mummies, and it was said that mummies could be resurrected.

Later, as this magic spread, some wizards who hoped to obtain immortality improved this magic. The improved magic did not require the spare body to be cultivated into a human form in advance, so that this thing could be hidden in a small magic box.

, the concealment is greatly increased. At the same time, the biggest difference from before is that, along with a part of the body, a part of the soul was also cut out through complex magic means.

In this way, the effects of the passage of time on the part of the body and soul protected by the special magic container will be minimized, and the connection between the soul fragments and the soul body will feedback this situation to the main body, allowing

The subject gains a long life. At the same time, as long as the container is not discovered, the wizard cannot be killed. However, their minds will be irreversibly damaged every time they are resurrected, so the number of resurrections is also limited.

In modern times, this magic has been improved again. The complicated soul-cutting magic was replaced by killing. At the same time, there is no longer a need to cut off a part of the body, only the soul needs to be cut. This is the real method of making Horcruxes.

produced.

Although this greatly lowered the threshold for making Horcruxes and simplified the production process, it also caused serious consequences. On the one hand, it completely transformed the original neutral magic into an evil black magic, causing the user's body to

You will receive additional damage when facing magic such as thunder or holy light.

On the other hand, after the original body is destroyed, it cannot be resurrected directly like the previous two methods. Instead, it needs to use other means to recreate a body.

However, even this simplified version of the Horcrux production method is actually far beyond the knowledge of a normal wizard. Ryan understands these contents by relying on the knowledge collected in multiple worlds. As an orphan, Voldemort only relied on

Being able to understand these things after living in Hogwarts for six years and being exposed to the magical world is truly a genius.

Not to mention anything else, just learning Latin to a high level in this short time is very impressive. Ryan felt that he would never be able to do this if he didn't have a cheat.

It took Ryan a full five hours to put down the book "The Road to Immortality" in his hand. Thanks to the previous upgrade in power, his memory and understanding abilities had jumped up a big step, which allowed him to finish reading this book in a short time.

book.

"I think I already have a clue." Looking at Principal Dumbledore who looked at him with concern, Ryan nodded and said, "But I need time."

"This is already very good." Principal Dumbledore put away the book, "Remember not to be impatient, we have enough time to wait. If the price of saving an innocent life is another innocent life, then such a rescue

It’s just completely meaningless.”
