"I'm curious why Voldemort chose such a way to gain immortality? Ryan once told me that this method has many flaws." After Professor Dumbledore told everyone that Voldemort had more than one Horcrux, Harry raised his own question.
.
"Are there any other methods?" Dumbledore said after looking at Ryan and Hermione. "But the other methods do not meet his requirements."
After speaking, Dumbledore straightened up and explained: "You know, Voldemort actually grew up in the Muggle world. Even though he claimed to be a descendant of Slytherin, in fact he did not get anything from his family.
How many resources. Therefore, the sources of knowledge he obtained were very scattered, including knowledge explained by professors in the classroom and supplementary lessons after class. There was also knowledge he obtained from classmates through various means, and some self-study from the school library.
In this case, Voldemort was not as knowledgeable as he was in his student days."
Ryan and the others were all attracted by what Dumbledore said at this time. The principal waved his hand and conjured a cup of hot tea and took a sip, then continued, "So for Voldemort as a student, he wanted to escape death.
He can only choose the path of making Horcruxes. It’s not that he doesn’t know the problems that may exist, but he believes that he is a descendant of Slytherin, the chosen one. He will not be like those who made Horcruxes before.
So caught up in those problems.”
"In addition, Voldemort is also an insecure person. He cannot allow his life to be pinned on something fragile. Just like if you use the Sorcerer's Stone, you need to keep drinking the elixir of life.
What should I do if a magic stone is damaged or the elixir of immortality is stolen? Voldemort needs a path to immortality with the highest degree of freedom."
"Wizards seem to have only a few methods of immortality." Ryan thought of this after listening to Dumbledore's words. The method he now masters comes from other worlds, while the method Hermione masters is from Ryan's study.
The methods from other worlds were combined with other methods from this world to guide her to obtain it under certain unexpected circumstances. In short, there are not that many roads leading to eternal life in the Harry Potter world.
While Ryan was thinking, Dumbledore began to summarize. "Now with this key memory, we are closer than anyone else to the secret of how to eliminate Voldemort. You also heard him say just now:" A few more points
Isn't the block better and makes you more powerful... Isn't seven the most magical number...' Isn't seven the most magical number? Yes, I think dividing the soul into seven pieces would be very attractive to Voldemort."
"Seven Horcruxes?" Harry's face suddenly became very ugly, and several portraits on the wall also made sounds of shock and indignation, "In this way, they could be anywhere in the world - hidden - buried or invisible.
——”
"It's not that bad." Dumbledore smiled. "First of all, Harry, it's not seven Horcruxes, it's six. The seventh part of the soul, no matter what the situation is, is still in his newly created by dark magic.
After coming out of his body, this part of his soul existed in a ghostly form during his many years of exile. You should have seen it when he was in the first grade. Without it, he would not have himself. This seventh part of the soul will be what he wants
The last thing anyone who kills Voldemort must attack is the one inside him."
"Then he still has six Horcruxes." Harry asked anxiously. "How can we find them?"
"Actually, we have destroyed most of the Horcruxes." Dumbledore said, and then opened the drawer on the desk and took out one golden box after another. "But I personally think you'd better sign an unbreakable oath with me now.
, because there is a mysterious connection between Voldemort and you, and he cannot know about our destruction of Horcruxes."
"——No problem, your thinking is indeed very sound." Harry stretched out his hand and shook Dumbledore's hand, "I hope the terrible thing that happened when I was in fifth grade will not happen again."
Soon, under the witness of Ryan, Professor Dumbledore and Harry signed an unbreakable oath to ensure that Harry would not leak what he saw today, especially that Voldemort would not peek into his brain.
"Okay, this is what we have achieved before." After signing the Unbreakable Oath, Dumbledore opened the gold boxes one after another. "After Voldemort's first Horcrux was destroyed, I realized that he made more than one
Horcrux, so I started looking for it. Fortunately, as his teacher and lifelong enemy, I have been trying to understand Voldemort's past life for many years. I traveled to many places to look for traces of him. Finally, I tracked him down.
Some clues. The ring you see now is the second Horcrux I found——"
Next, Dumbledore introduced the locket, crown, and gold cup in sequence. However, during his introduction, he was a little vague about the origin of the Horcruxes, ignoring Ryan's contribution in finding and destroying these Horcruxes.
"Then, we just need to find the last Horcrux, right?" Harry looked at the five Horcruxes on the table and his tone turned relaxed. "But what will that Horcrux look like? If it is an old newspaper.
, if it’s an empty tin can or a broken leather boot, I think it would be difficult for us to find it.”
"No, no, no, you are thinking of a portkey, Harry. A portkey requires an ordinary object that is easy to overlook and avoid being taken by mistake. Voldemort's Horcrux definitely does not look like this." Dumbledore said seriously,
"As far as I know, he has always believed that he has noble blood flowing in his body and is superior to others. His pride, his sense of superiority, and his determination to occupy an amazing position in the history of magic will not
Allow him to put his soul on those inconspicuous things. So he will definitely find something that he thinks is worthy of his noble soul as a container for his soul. You can use these Horcruxes that I have destroyed
See this tendency."
"Slytherin's relic, Ravenclaw's relic, Hufflepuff's relic, could Voldemort's last Horcrux be Gryffindor's relic?" Harry looked at the open boxes on the table.
asked.
"Probably not. As far as I know, Gryffindor's only relics are now well preserved in the Hogwarts castle. Even in this office." After finishing speaking, Dumbledore stood up and walked from the side.
He took off the Sorting Hat from the table, and then took out a ruby-encrusted sword from the hat. "The Sword of Gryffindor, every true Gryffindor can take out this sword from the hat."
"What do you think Voldemort's last Horcrux was?" Harry gave up after thinking for a while and asked Dumbledore this question directly.
"I have suspected a lot of things, but recently I came up with a vague inference." Dumbledore said, "I think I know what the sixth Horcrux is. If I tell you frankly, I have no doubts about that snake - Na
I have been concerned about Gini’s behavior for some time, and I don’t know what you would say.”
"Snake?" Harry looked surprised, "Can living things also be used as Horcruxes? Ryan told me before that the Horcruxes in history are often just some magic props. It is very difficult to use living creatures to make Horcruxes.
Risky behavior.”
"Ryan is right." Dumbledore glanced at Ryan and said. "Because it is very risky to entrust a part of your soul to a thing that can move and think on its own. According to my guess, Voldemort went to you back then.
When the family wanted to kill you, they were preparing to make the last Horcrux. Based on his previous behavior, the murder targets Voldemort chose when making the Horcrux were all very special to him. Of course you were such a target. He believed that if he killed
With you, he has eliminated the danger warned by the prophecy. He believes that he will be invincible in this way. I think he must be planning to use your death to make his last Horcrux."
"We all know that he failed. But when he came back a few years ago, he used Nagini to kill an old Muggle man. Maybe that's when he thought of turning the snake into his last Horcrux.
.Because the snake is the symbol of Slytherin, and this snake is unusually powerful. At the same time, his ability to control this snake is also extraordinary."
"So we only need to kill this snake, and then we can remove Voldemort's so-called immortality and defeat him completely?" Harry asked excitedly.
"Very good, a concise and accurate summary, the current situation is like this." Dumbledore nodded in approval. "Without the Horcrux, Voldemort is just a mortal with a damaged soul. But don't forget, even though the soul is so damaged that it is impossible to
Repaired, his brain and magic power are still intact. Even if there are no Horcruxes, killing a wizard like Voldemort still requires extraordinary abilities and abilities."
"But I believe I will be able to defeat him." Harry clenched his fists as he said this.
"Then I wish everything you said can come true. Well, I see it's already very late. Harry, you can go back and rest first. Ryan, you and Hermione stay here for a while. I have some recent questions about
I need to talk to you about the production of alchemy tools," Dumbledore said.
