Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

What's more, Dumbledore's power is weakening with age, while Voldemort's power is growing day by day.

Dumbledore obviously also noticed the relevant signs of abnormality, and he must have guessed in his heart, although he couldn't be sure until he saw Tom Riddle's diary last year.

But after becoming principal, he still removed the book from the restricted section.

The reason for this is that in addition to preventing a second Voldemort from appearing just in case, the content of this book is really not suitable for young wizards to read.

You know, as the top black magic book, "Secrets of Advanced Black Magic" records a lot of extremely evil taboo black magic, Horcrux is just one of them, and it may not even be the most evil.

Ai Wen gently rubbed the book in his hand, determined to open it, and the withered, crisp pages made sparse and unpleasant sounds.

The first black magic introduced in "Secrets of Advanced Black Magic" is the Horcrux. At the top of the page is a portrait of a man with a grim expression and a distorted expression. His soul is being separated. He seems to be in great pain, but There was a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth.

It can be seen that due to being flipped for a long time, compared with the later pages, the dozens of pages recording the Horcrux are full of marks and traces of being read.Regulus must have read this book many times, and it was from here that he looked for clues to deduce that the locket that Voldemort hid in the cave was a Horcrux.

Ivan flipped through it roughly, and the content of the book was very detailed.

The above introduces the Horcrux, the source, principle and production method of this black magic, etc., and there are many test records, as well as the points that need to be paid attention to in each step.

The more Ivan read it, the more terrifying he felt. The content of this book has surpassed the scope of "general evil".

The first step in making a horcrux is to split the soul, and split the soul by killing or other evil forces.

Then, through a series of very complicated steps, the split soul is separated from the main soul.

According to the notes at the bottom of the book, Aiwen knew that although killing is the easiest way to split the soul, it does not mean that the soul can be split once with one murder.

The power needed to split the soul is very powerful, and this power comes from evil and cruel things. The key is not killing, but whether it is evil enough.

Therefore, splitting the soul through killing is not just a simple murder.

Specifically, it depends on whether the method of murder is evil enough, whether it is cruel enough, and whether the soul of the caster is evil enough.The whole process is very harsh. As the number of soul splits increases, the degree of evil and difficulty required also increase linearly.

Most dark wizards can split their souls once, which is already the limit.

No wizard can split his body into more than two parts and create more than one Horcrux. The pain is enough to make the caster collapse.

Moreover, splitting the soul will make the main soul very unstable.

Like Voldemort, splitting his soul multiple times and successfully making multiple Horcruxes, in Ivan's view, it is simply impossible.

After the soul is separated, the next step is to select a suitable Horcrux and infuse the soul into it.

Any item can be made into a horcrux, but along with the transfer of the soul, an extremely powerful spell is required to protect the horcrux, as well as enough magic power to support the completion of the entire transfer process.This means that even if a dark wizard is evil enough to split his soul, he cannot successfully create a Horcrux without strong enough support.

The book specifically emphasizes that dark wizards must properly protect their Horcruxes.

The damage to the Horcrux will definitely affect the main soul, making the already extremely unstable main soul even more fragmented.

The most direct consequence is to make the black wizard lose his mind and gradually go crazy.

And his power will not be affected, on the contrary, because the soul has become evil enough, it will be more handy in using black magic.

Until the end, the dark wizard whose Horcrux is destroyed will be swallowed by the dark power and become a monster who only knows to kill.

Chapter 202 Horcruxes and Confession

Ai Wen felt a little bit in his heart, this is not good news.

So far, he has destroyed two Horcruxes made by Voldemort, Tom Riddle's diary and Slytherin's locket.

Judging from the numbers, it seems that their own side has gained the upper hand, destroying Voldemort's Horcruxes, making him one step closer to death, but in fact doing so cannot effectively weaken the power of Voldemort's body, but will make him more dangerous.

According to the book "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic", the essence of the Horcrux is the soul fragments stored in a specific container. The black wizard relies on the evil power brought by the killing to forcibly split and strip these soul fragments from the body. But there is still a weak connection between them and the main soul.

It is precisely because of this trace of connection that as long as the Horcruxes are not completely destroyed, no matter how much damage the main body suffers, it will not really die.

The connection between souls and immortality are the main principles of this black magic.

But also because of this trace of connection, once the Horcrux is destroyed, it is destined to affect the main soul and make it even more unstable.

Specific to Voldemort, no matter how many parts he divides his soul, he still has a complete soul until the Horcrux is destroyed.

He just kept his soul in different places with the help of Horcruxes.

Voldemort in this state may be ferocious enough, but he is still an evil dark wizard and a human being. Even though he has very powerful dark power, he still has scruples in his heart, and he still has what humans should have. all emotions.

But as the soul fragments stored in the Horcrux were destroyed, Voldemort's soul became incomplete, and the already unstable main soul became fragmented.

In this state, he will gradually lose all emotion and reason, transforming from a human being into a monster, and will have no other thoughts other than bringing endless killing and crazy destruction.

The soul becomes fragmented, which means that he himself is also more evil.

This is also one of the reasons why Voldemort's power will be stronger. You must know that in addition to powerful magic power to cast black magic, the key to the power of a spell lies in whether the caster's soul is evil enough.

The more evil the soul, the stronger the power of black magic.

Splitting the soul is the purest form of evil, the greater the degree of fragmentation, the greater the degree of evil, and the destruction of the Horcrux means that Voldemort will become more dangerous.

Fortunately, in the process, he will gradually lose his sanity and become a monster swallowed and controlled by the evil power in his heart.

From this perspective, Voldemort is essentially weakened.

In Ivan's view, the scary thing about Voldemort is not how much black magic he has mastered and how much power ordinary people can't imagine, but the ability to figure out people's hearts.

He was in the orphanage when he was a child, until he was in Hogwarts when he was a student, and then he became the Dark Lord. Judging from Voldemort's past experience, he is very good at demagoguery, spreading fear and creating division among people.

When he gradually lost his mind because of the Horcruxes being destroyed one by one, gave up his strengths, and chose to conquer with strength, he was already doomed to fail.

The production of Horcruxes seems to make Voldemort stronger, and he has the power of immortality, but in essence, it disperses his power and lays the groundwork for failure. This has to be said to be an irony.

Before making a Horcrux, one should be aware of it.

For the caster, there is always far more to lose than gain by using this wicked black magic.

Voldemort certainly knew this, but he still chose to create Horcruxes and divide his soul into multiple shares.Ai Wen didn't know why he did this, but if it was him, he would not choose to do so anyway.

He sighed and continued to turn the pages backwards.

Behind the horcrux production method are related experimental records, data, and methods of how to destroy the horcrux.

First, the soul can be made whole again through repentance.

According to the above book, if you truly feel what you have done and repent of it, you can reintegrate the split soul back.

This method seems simple, but for a dark wizard whose soul has been split, doing so is extremely painful, and this pain alone is enough to destroy the penitent.

What's more, it is impossible for Voldemort to repent.

Since Voldemort will not take the initiative to fuse the soul, the only way to destroy the Horcrux is to destroy it directly, and destroy it with something extremely destructive, so powerful that the Horcrux can no longer use magic to repair itself.

The reason why this must be done is because the soul in a horcrux is different from that in a normal person.

The reason why the soul fragments in it can survive is entirely dependent on the carrier that has been cast with powerful protection magic, otherwise the soul fragments stored in it cannot survive.

As long as the magic container is intact, the soul fragments in it can fly in and out of the body of someone close to the container, absorbing the life force of other people to strengthen themselves.

Of course, this kind of proximity is not about how long you hold the Horcrux in your hand, it has nothing to do with contact.The key is emotional proximity, and last year Ron poured his affections into Tom Riddle's Japan, which made him very easy to dominate.

If you're too fond of or dependent on Horcruxes, you're in big trouble.

The same is true of the Slytherin locket just now. He hopes to lure and force Aiwen to fall through the desire hidden deep in Aiwen's heart.

Because the Horcrux itself is a fragment of the soul, it can inherit all the memories and thoughts of the original owner, every Horcrux of Voldemort is as dangerous as Voldemort himself.

On the last page of the Horcrux introduction, there are many dense records. This should be the handwriting left by Regulus back then. Most of it is about the names of extremely destructive items that can destroy Horcruxes.

Because such items were too rare, until the end, Regulus couldn't find anything that could destroy the Horcrux, so he could only order Kreacher to take the Horcrux away.

Aiwen was very fortunate that he pulled out the basilisk's fangs.

The basilisk's fangs can destroy Horcruxes not because it is so sharp, but because there is only one antidote for the basilisk's poison, which is the extremely rare Phoenix's tears.

There were few things as destructive as the basilisk fangs, and Regulus couldn't find them at the time.

Behind Horcruxes, "Secrets of Advanced Dark Arts" also introduces a lot of evil black magic.Ivan flipped through it briefly. If one word was used to describe the feeling of reading this kind of thing, it would be shocking.

For example, the evil curse behind the Horcrux is based on the study of the Dementor's Kiss, directly targeting a person's soul, pulling the soul out of the body, and making him irreversible.Afterwards, there are several other curses, including how to make and control Infernal Corpse, the detailed introduction of the three Unforgivable Curses, how to summon demons and sign a contract, and so on.

Chapter 203 Shrinking Curse and Departure

Although Aiwen himself does not know how to use these black magics, this book is indeed of great reference value, and the black magic recorded in it has given him a lot of inspiration.

Except for Horcruxes and the Three Unforgivable Curses, Ivan had never even heard of the other black magic recorded in the book.Now through this book, if Voldemort or the Death Eaters used those magics, he knew how to break them too.

He flipped through it for a while, then raised his head abruptly.

Aiwen suddenly remembered that now is not the time to read books leisurely, Dumbledore and Sirius will be back soon, and there is not much time left for him.

They would not allow themselves to be exposed to this kind of black magic book, especially the "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" in hand contains the method of making Horcruxes.

He couldn't read it here, he had to take away the black magic books in front of him, and study them slowly when no one was around.

Ai Wen frowned and looked at the black magic books in front of him. These books were too big and thick, and they were inconvenient to carry.

It was very difficult to pick up the "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" alone, and it was impossible to take all the books away. He had to think of a way.

The best practice is no different from the traceless stretching spell. This spell can enlarge the space, and when used on a carry-on backpack or handbag, you can put things that need to be carried with you without considering the size and weight.

But this spell is very complicated and extremely difficult to use. Ivan has tried it several times before but failed, and it is even more impossible to do it in a hurry now.

He thought for a while, then pulled out his wand.

Since the Untraceable Stretching Curse didn't work, he was going to use the Shrinking Curse.

When I met Aragog in the Forbidden Forest a few days ago, Ivan originally planned to use this spell on it, but it was unsuccessful.

After returning to the castle, he deliberately practiced many times, and he has fully mastered the shrinking spell.

"Shrink quickly!"

Following Ivan's words, the wand emitted a blue light.The heavy and thick magic book on his lap shrank rapidly, until it was only half the size of a palm.

Aiwen nodded in satisfaction, picked it up and looked at it. The current size of this book is very small, but the weight has not changed at all. If it weren't for the shrinking spell, it is hard to believe that this kind of pocket magic book would have such a small size. weight.

He put the shrunken "Secrets of the Cutting-Edge Dark Arts" into his arms, and then selected a few more magic books to shrink until he could no longer carry them.

Shortly after Ivan had just finished, Sirius returned with Dumbledore.

Dumbledore was wearing a long black traveling cloak, holding Slytherin's locket in his hand, and his face was more serious than ever.

"Professor, we just heard from Kreacher that..."

"Reculus is in that cave, we must..."

Seeing Dumbledore, Harry and Hermione hurried over, chattering.

Ai Wen also walked over slowly, standing beside Sirius, he was afraid that if he walked too fast, all the magic books hidden in his arms would fall out.

"Harry, Hermione, I know. Sirius told me everything on the way." Although he was talking to Harry and Hermione, Dumbledore was watching Ivan, the light blue His eyes were full of scrutiny, and he said slowly, "To be honest, I really didn't expect that you guys discovered and destroyed this thing!"

"It's just a coincidence. The Slytherin emblem on this locket is so eye-catching. I picked it up out of curiosity and took a look at it. I didn't expect..."

"Then, you happened to wear the basilisk's fangs on your body. What an amazing coincidence, Ivan." Dumbledore returned the locket to Ivan, "But I must thank you. With hard work and hard work, this locket was completely destroyed, and the contents inside have completely disappeared."

Ivan took half a step back and hung the locket around his neck.

Looking at Dumbledore's wrinkled face, he wasn't sure if the other party had noticed something. Under Dumbledore's gaze, Ivan had a feeling that there was nowhere to hide and all the secrets were known.

Apart from other aspects, he seems to have seen the black magic book hidden in his arms.

"I don't understand, Professor!" Harry looked confused, neither he nor Hermione could understand what Dumbledore was saying to Ivan, "What is this locket, why did Voldemort hide it, and Ray Gules secretly replaced him again?"

"Like last year's diary, this is a black magic item made by Tom Riddle himself. It is very evil and very critical. Tom Riddle probably never thought that Regulus would be in front of his eyes." Now, take this thing out of the cave." Dumbledore seemed to have a hint of disappointment in his tone, "In my opinion, he must have blind confidence in the defensive magic he deployed, and he never thought that Kreacher would or would leave The cave. But that's how he used to be, and he never wanted to know about these things."

"Professor, what the hell is this locket?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a Horcrux."

"Horcrux?!"

The expression on Harry's face was even more confused, and he turned to look at Hermione beside him.

Hermione shook her head, she didn't know what a Horcrux was, she hadn't even heard of it before.

Unlike the two of them, Ivan was full of surprise. He didn't expect Dumbledore to say it directly. He originally thought that the other party would keep it a secret.

It seems that after seeing Tom Riddle's diary and Slytherin's locket again, Dumbledore has confirmed that Voldemort is making Horcruxes.In other words, he had a new plan before telling them about it.

As for Sirius, after hearing Dumbledore's words, the expression on his face suddenly turned pale. Although he had guessed about this locket before that, he never imagined that this thing would be a horcruxes.

Sirius had heard of this ancient, evil magic.

Even if the specific purpose of the Horcrux is also unclear, there is no doubt that this thing is very important.
