Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

Chapter 168 The devil never lies

"No problem, no problem."

Voldemort's soul replied hurriedly, as if if it didn't agree, the next moment, the sword would penetrate the entire Horcrux from top to bottom.

Immediately, the soul body opened outward, like a wave of thoughts, and the entire Inferi on the lake gradually submerged. The giant Inferi glanced at Dumbledore and the others dully, and then sank back into the lake, as if it had never appeared before. .

The entire Black Lake returned to its original calm state.

"Please, Dumbledore." The soul body transformed into the appearance of young Tom Riddle and made a gesture of invitation.

Dumbledore walked ahead with the locket suspended, and stepped onto the boat. The remaining people followed closely. The boat began to drive back through the black lake, away from the rock. Louis was surprised to find that he seemed to have had a seizure just now. The crazy Inferi is now as obedient as a well-behaved cat, sinking motionless in the black lake.

Their boat hit the shore of the lake. After Harry and the others jumped ashore, they immediately turned their heads to the lake, fearing that the Inferi would attack again, but nothing happened.

"Okay, Louis, close the Horcrux." He said after making sure that several people had reached the other side. "Even if it orders it again, it will be useless. The Inferi cannot sense the life on the lakeshore."

Dumbledore pointed to the boat. When the last person came ashore, the boat slowly sank into the water, and the chain jingled as it rowed back to the lake.

"Why?"

Louis gently closed the Horcrux in Snake's voice, and his soul quickly retracted into the locket. What he didn't understand was that in the face of extremely evil dark magic items like Horcruxes, Dumbledore actually tried to communicate with it and even made deals with it.

This is not like the style of the world's top white wizard.

"It's easy to understand, because devils never lie." Dumbledore explained to Louis, and he put the locket in his pocket.

"The reason why dark wizards like Voldemort and Grindelwald have so many followers is not only because of their strength and belief, but more importantly, because they pay attention to integrity and must abide by the deals they make. Although some followers are They are afraid of Voldemort, but there are still some wizards who are willing to work for him.”

"So you think it won't betray you? But it's a Horcrux, Professor."

"This is also what I want to explain." Dumbledore interrupted Lewis's defense. "Looking at it now, Voldemort may not have only created three Horcruxes. His own soul has been divided too many times and he can no longer sense the soul." The soul inside the Horcrux is located. In fact, for such a long time, the soul body in the Horcrux has been developing independently, giving birth to its own character. Therefore, the soul body in the Horcrux has a lot of differences with the real Voldemort. gap."

"And the other thing I know that it won't turn back is that maybe it's because of my existence."

"Then, Professor, are you really not going to destroy this locket?" Louis pointed to his chest.

"Oh, of course not, my dear child." Dumbledore shook his head, "I still have some use for the time being. This is Slytherin's inheritance. If you don't mind giving it to me, Louis."

"Of course not, Professor." Although Lewis also wanted to know if the locket had any other secrets besides the Horcrux, Dumbledore had asked for it himself, and he couldn't be embarrassed not to give it to him.

However, if the locket is not destroyed for the time being, will it be too late to prevent Voldemort's resurrection?

When Louis just thought of this, he immediately rejected his idea. Even if the Horcrux was destroyed or not, he might not be able to prevent its resurrection, because Voldemort created seven Horcruxes. As long as one of these seven Horcruxes remained, Voldemort would not be able to stop it. Real death, and among the seven Horcruxes, although he and Dumbledore had destroyed two, there were only two living Horcruxes that he could not destroy before his resurrection.

Harry and Nagini.

So it seemed unimportant that the locket should be destroyed before Voldemort was resurrected.

Now that Voldemort's resurrection has become inevitable, he must prepare for the war that will happen next.

The archway leading to the outside world was sealed again, but some of the people who had just experienced a battle still had the blood of the Inferi on their bodies, so this was not a problem for them.

After receiving their feedback, the stone door was opened again. They walked through the cave outside, and the fresh sea breeze suddenly hit them.

"Huh, I don't think I want to go to that cave again." Sirius breathed a long sigh of relief. The depressing and terrifying atmosphere in the cave made him very uncomfortable. He really didn't know how his brother could be in such a place. Survived among a large number of inferi.

"Me too, Albus." Nicolas Flamel's old and frail body leaned against Dumbledore, "Don't mess with my old body anymore."

"Probably not, Nick. Of course, before that, I still need you to help me research something."

When Nick Flamel heard Dumbledore's words, his old face suddenly fell.

"Let's talk about this when we get back..."

. . . . .

After returning to Grimmauld Place, Dumbledore sued them and returned to Beauxbatons in France with Nicolas Flamel.

Sirius then went to the Ministry of Magic to report. The past few days were very magical for him. First he learned the truth about his brother's resistance to Voldemort, and then went to the scene of the crime, but the real facts brought him another... A surprise.

Now, he always wears the family ring on his hand, and another goal of his is to find the whereabouts of Regulus all over the world.

But there is still another doubt about Regulus, and that is the Black family tapestry. In Louis' impression, things like wizard family trees are enchanted, just like the Lestrange family. As soon as a member of the family dies, they will wither on their branches and the date of death will be automatically marked.

The year Regulus died was clearly marked on the tapestry, but the ring showed that the guy was still alive.

According to Sirius, the date on the tapestry was put on by his mother herself. Mrs. Black could not accept the fact that Regulus was missing. Later, the news of Regulus's death came from Voldemort's mouth, but it was not shown on the tapestry. Mrs. Black had always believed in Voldemort's words and believed that the tapestry There was an error in the magic, that's why this happened.

Of course, no one knew what happened to Regulus at that time, and since he had never returned, the family naturally regarded his words as fact and passed them down.

After returning from the cave, Kreacher became extremely friendly. On the one hand, it may be because he was extremely happy to know the news that Regulus was alive. On the other hand, he was fulfilling Regulus's order in disguise to express his gratitude to Louis and the others. However, Sirius was still mean and abusive to it, but at this time, Kreacher stopped nagging. He accepted the abuse arbitrarily and always cleaned and arranged everything, which made the middle-aged man happy. They all looked at Kreacher in a different light.

Harry and Louis were still living in Grimmauld Place, but it seemed that a week after returning from the cave, an owl that looked smaller than Hedwig and Fulla stuffed a letter into 12 Grimmauld Place. In the room on the second floor, Harry happened to see it.

"Louis, it's a letter from Ron." Harry brought the letter to Louis. Curious, he slowly opened the letter and read it.
