Take control of thunder and lightning from Hogwarts

Chapter 754 Deathly Hallows
Anduin, who returned to the ranch from Gaunt's old house, couldn't wait to come to the research room, and then carefully poured the ring onto the workbench.

And just when Anduin was about to study it carefully, there was a whisper in his ear, the voice was full of bewitching, like a bug trying to crawl into his brain along his ear.

But Anduin, with extremely firm willpower, quickly discovered the abnormality, and immediately mobilized his magic power to activate Occlumency to block his thinking.

"Strange, my perception just now must have been correct. The ring did produce a force that tried to interfere with my consciousness, and it was full of malice. Could it be that this thing is alive?" Anduin frowned and his eyes became more serious. .

Anduin was also well-informed, so even though he encountered such a strange thing, he didn't feel very nervous, but he became more and more curious about the ring.

Fortunately, after blocking his thinking, he finally blocked the influence emanating from the ring, but the malice that emanated from the ring did not diminish, and he could even detect a prying gaze,

"Voldemort?"

Anduin seemed to have thought of something, and then tested with a voice full of magic.

After the ring heard his question, it suddenly vibrated violently with a 'hum', and the vibration was accompanied by layers of transparent fluctuations. Keep pressing.

But it's a pity that Anduin's Occlumency has erected a solid thick wall on the surface of his thinking, and despite the ring's best efforts, it still can't affect him in the slightest.

"So that's it, it's a Horcrux..."

After seeing the ring's reaction, Anduin nodded knowingly. He felt that the malice and magic power emanating from the ring were very familiar, which was very similar to what he felt from Voldemort's soul.

But that's just similar, and Anduin can still tell the difference, the ring is not attached to the soul of Voldemort he once captured, it should be just a part of his soul.

And the black magic item 'Horcrux' is no stranger to Anduin. There are a lot of records in the information collected from the headquarters of Phoenix and Silver Spear.

Therefore, after a simple distinction, Anduin recognized that the essence of the ring should be the Horcrux, or one of the Horcruxes.

"It turns out that this is the truth about Voldemort's immortality and immortality. It's not surprising at all."

Anduin smiled mockingly, and then he understood the cause and effect of Voldemort's suicide.

Splitting the soul and attaching it to objects to make Horcruxes is a rather crude method of longevity. The reason why Anduin called it "longevity" instead of "immortality" is that it has many disadvantages.

First of all, to make a horcrux, the soul must be split, and this split is almost irreversible. This alone is much rougher than the 'San Qing Curse', a magic that can return a split soul.

And splitting the soul is also equivalent to splitting the consciousness, which will make the wizard incomplete, and at the same time, it is easy to cause serious mental problems.

Secondly, judging from the records obtained in the Phoenix and the Silver Spear, making souls into Horcruxes cannot truly achieve immortality.

Because the Horcrux itself will gradually break down with the passage of time, but this time is not short for ordinary people, and it is conservatively estimated that it will take at least a thousand years.

But this also means that Horcruxes are not equal to eternal life!

However, although the Horcrux has various disadvantages, its ability is still quite powerful. First of all, as long as there is a Horcrux in this world, it can guarantee the immortality of the soul of the main consciousness, just like Voldemort.

And if the main consciousness actively seeks to perish, it will return to other horcruxes. If there are more than one horcruxes, it will basically return in the order of time when the horcruxes were made.

"That is to say, the current Voldemort should be in the first Horcrux he made." Anduin nodded knowingly, and then glanced at the ring, "Then what number is this ring?" ? How many Horcruxes did you make?"

"Forget it, let's suppress the consciousness in this Horcrux first, and study it slowly after clearing up the curse. I don't know if I can find other clues along it."

After making up his mind, Anduin took out his wand, and shook his head mockingly at the same time, "I didn't expect to lose one of Voldemort's souls, and now I have sent another one back. It seems that you still cannot escape the fate of being studied by me."

After all, Anduin stretched out his wand leisurely and pointed at the ring, and the ring seemed to be aware of his actions, and the vibration frequency became faster and faster for a while, and it was unclear whether it was expressing fear or anger.

But Anduin didn't care about this. After aiming at the ring, the tip of the wand immediately lit up a stream of silver plasma that was as thick as syrup, and shot straight at the ring.

[Wild Thunder] After hitting the target, it immediately squeezed, wrapped, and shocked the inside of the ring as if it had life. Immediately, there were bursts of shrill screams from the ring, which could almost penetrate the soul, shaking the instruments in the laboratory. trembling constantly.

But the struggle of the Horcrux is obviously fruitless. After all, even the soul of Voldemort's body can't stop the wild thunder controlled by Anduin. The current wild mine also has the effect of being close to life and suppressing the spirit.

After nearly a minute, the horcrux, which was constantly infiltrated by the electric current, finally returned to calm, and the ghost possessed by it was already tightly sealed inside the ring by the cage made of wild thunder.

The reason why Anduin took so much effort to seal the consciousness instead of pulling it out is mainly because of the particularity of the Horcrux itself.

After being made into a horcrux, the soul inside is almost completely fused with the object, and it is very difficult to separate it, so facing the horcrux, either completely destroy it, or you can only control it. Consciousness, don't let it continue to cast evil thoughts to interfere with yourself.

After solving the troublesome mental interference of the Horcrux, Anduin sat back on the test bench, patiently observing, testing, and removing the strong curse attached to it.

After careful observation, Anduin found that the curse that Voldemort had enchanted the ring was very aggressive, almost as long as he touched it, he would be hit, and it was very destructive to wizards. It will also be very troublesome.

"Well, considering the complexity of this curse, the full body of Voldemort is not weak. It seems that we have to treat this guy with some attention. If he really succeeds in resurrecting him, there may be big trouble."

"Please really die, Voldemort..."

Anduin sighed faintly, then re-pointed the ring with his wand, and released a faint thread of magic power, gradually removing the curse.

After nearly an hour of hard work, he finally got rid of the curse, and then Anduin picked up the ring and put it in his palm to observe carefully.

"Huh? The Resurrection Stone doesn't seem to be impregnated with Voldemort's soul. Is this because the Hallows are instinctively repelling the invasion of foreign objects?"

After Anduin observed it, he found that the diamond-shaped stone was not a part of the Horcrux. After realizing this, he separated it without the slightest hesitation.

After taking out the main body of the resurrection stone, Anduin temporarily stored the ring as a horcrux. He was obviously more interested in the holy artifact of the resurrection stone than the horcrux.

"It is said that the resurrection stone has the ability to bring people back to life, and I don't know if it is true or not."

Feeling the smoothness of the resurrection stone with his fingertips, Anduin slowly input his magic power into it.

Immediately afterwards, Anduin found that there were several familiar but somewhat unfamiliar figures around him. They were the long-dead Lily, James, and members of the Order of the Phoenix, including brothers Gideon and Fabian Prewett. .

Seeing the real figure of the other party, Anduin couldn't help being shocked, and then couldn't help but whisper, "Lily?"

But after hearing his call, Lily who was not far away didn't make any response, but just watched him with a smile on her face.

This made Anduin feel that the two seemed to be very close, but at the same time seemed to be very far away, and at the same time the figure in front of him could not completely coincide with the Lily in his memory.

"Hey……"

Anduin sighed regretfully, and then his eyes became clear again, "Sure enough, there is no such good thing as bringing the dead back to life in this world, everything is just an illusion."

"However..." Anduin focused his gaze on Lily's body again, "It seems that this state is not completely an illusion."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help standing up, slowly approaching those figures, and trying to touch them.

But as he gradually approached, those figures seemed to follow a certain procedure, keeping a distance from him forever, making people feel that the other party seemed to be by their side, but they could never really approach them.

"Don't you even touch it? It's really stingy..." Anduin complained speechlessly, and then withdrew the magic power injected into the resurrection stone.

After all those figures disappeared, Anduin returned to the console, mobilized all the equipment in the laboratory, and conducted a comprehensive test on the resurrection stone.

In the simple contact just now, Anduin discovered that those figures that manifested are a kind of substance that is more real than the soul and more illusory than the entity. Although they cannot really be touched, they really have a trace of The breath of death and the soul.

In other words, they can't be completely described as illusions, anyway, they are not the kind of illusions generated by influencing thinking.

But after a period of comprehensive inspection, Anduin still couldn't help frowning.

Because the internal structure of this resurrection stone is too complicated, it will not be able to penetrate it in a short time.

However, after a brief observation, Anduin still found some clues.

"This resurrection stone...why does it look like a part of something?" Anduin raised his hand and rubbed his chin, looking at the diamond-shaped stone under the detection instrument and muttered.

"And as far as it seems, the resurrection stone at least contains the runes of 'thinking', 'memory', 'death' and 'soul', and at the same time it can transform magic power into extremely dense soul energy with unique characteristics But it seems that this soul energy is not just for people to see the dead."

"This energy seems to need some kind of processing, or maybe a combination can play a real role. This stone gives me the feeling that it is more like the core of a more complicated alchemy tool, an energy transformation device!"

After groping for a long time, Anduin came to a conclusion that even surprised him.

"The legend of the resurrection stone has been around for a long time. What kind of props can make it a part of it? That thing must have existed before the legend appeared. Can it be found or restored to its previous appearance?"

Anduin tilted his head in confusion, and then his eyes lit up, "Could it be that the Deathly Hallows itself is a prop that can be assembled and used?"

Thinking of this, he felt more and more reasonable. The legends of the three Deathly Hallows all came from the collection of stories of the poet Beedle, and there was a certain connection between them.

And it is also said in the story that whoever owns these three holy artifacts can be the master of Death.

This may be a hint that it can be combined!

Thinking of this, Anduin recalled the symbol representing the Deathly Hallows, a figure that looked like a triangular eye with a vertical line in the middle of the pupil.

Does the graphic itself also indicate something?Judging from the symbols, the resurrection stone is indeed at the center, which coincides with Anduin's guess that it is the core.

But what about a stone, a wand, and an invisibility cloak?

Just relying on guesswork is really clueless, Anduin sighed helplessly, "Then if you want to continue the research, you have to gather the three holy artifacts together."

"Harry has the invisibility cloak, so it's not difficult to borrow it to study it, but the Elder Wand... that's Dumbledore's wand, will he agree to lend it to me for research?"

"Perhaps we need to find a chance to have a good talk with Dumbledore. It would be a good idea to develop together with him." After muttering a few words, Anduin collected his thoughts and carefully put away the resurrection stone. .

After groping for the resurrection stone, Anduin took out the Horcrux ring again. Since he will not understand the resurrection stone for a while, it's better to toss Voldemort's soul first.

Thinking of this, Anduin didn't hesitate, and fiddled with the Horcrux in his hand neatly.

He didn't say anything polite about this thing, and directly cast high-intensity Legilimency, like a sharp dagger piercing into the soul in the ring.

"Ow!!!"

Since there is no control of the body consciousness, only a little of Voldemort's subconsciousness and instincts remain in the sub-soul in the ring, but the pain of the soul's trauma still makes it scream involuntarily.

But at this time, the fragmented remaining soul was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in Anduin's hands, unable to resist at all, and let him hold it in his hands.

Anduin completely ignored the wailing of this split soul, and just brutally let his consciousness go deep into it, grabbing the memories and information he needed.
