Hogwarts card wizard

Chapter 544 Number of Horcruxes

Facing Slughorn's question, Tom Riddle said lightly: "Yes, professor! I can't find anyone to talk to. Those other professors... They are different from you, they may Misunderstand me."

It has to be said that the young Voldemort really had an insight into human nature.Although these words did not expressly praise Slughorn, such words are undoubtedly very useful given his character.

Sure enough, Slughorn smiled and even took a sip of wine, and said contentedly, "Keep talking, I'm listening!"

Tom Riddle's tone was still flat: "A few nights ago, in the restricted section of the library, I found a book with a rare magic written on it. But it is too esoteric, and I was thinking that maybe you can explain it to me .”

Slughorn's smile became more obvious as soon as Rainbow Fart came out, and he said, "The restricted area! That's not a place where students should go, but... your intelligence is not too much, what kind of magic?"

Tom Riddle remained calm and said, "I remember..."

After a pause, he said, "Horcrux!"

At this time, Kevin noticed that Dumbledore behind him took a step forward involuntarily.

Kevin knows that this should be the place where the memory was modified. Although Kevin has not seen the modified memory, it is not surprising that Slughorn should have modified this memory to severely reject Tom Lee. Del.

Obviously, the word Horcrux had a great impact on Slughorn at this time, his smile disappeared, but was replaced by solemnity.

"What did you say?" Slughorn asked.

Tom Riddle said indifferently: "Horcrux, I read this word by accident, but I didn't fully understand it."

There is an absolutely forbidden boundary between Horcruxes and students, and in the eyes of a teacher, this boundary cannot be crossed.But from the beginning to the end, Tom Riddle seemed very calm, virtually diluting this boundary.

Slughorn also did what a professor should do.

"I don't know what you're reading, Tom. But it's very evil black magic, very evil."

Tom Riddle did not refute, but nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, that's why... I came to you."

Slughorn stared at Tom Riddle in front of him for a long time, and then said slowly, "An ordinary thing that hides part of its soul becomes a Horcrux."

"Hiding the soul?! It's incredible." Tom Riddle came to Slughorn and said curiously: "The soul can also be hidden in the object, how can it be done?"

At this time, Slughorn was not as alert as he is now, and Tom Riddle's hint of "calmness" before made him even less defensive.Slughorn didn't realize that this was Tom Riddle's trap. In his opinion, it was just a student he valued asked a super-class Olympiad question, and as a professor, he should patiently answer the students.

Slughorn said: "Split! Split the soul! And hide in something. That way even if your body is attacked and destroyed, the soul is still protected."

Tom Riddle asked in surprise: "Protection?"

"Yes!" said Slughorn, "your hidden soul will live."

Tom Riddle laughed and said, "Can I understand it as immortality?"

"In a way it makes sense," Slughorn said.

Tom Riddle walked slowly to the fireplace, his back was facing Slughorn at this time, but Kevin noticed that there was a scheming smile on his expression.

"It's good magic, you say. Why do you call it evil?" asked Tom Riddle.

Slughorn said immediately, "No, boy! There is a price to be paid for splitting a soul, and each time a soul is split, one is killed."

Next to him, Kevin shook his head helplessly.

At this time, Tom Riddle was so scheming that he hardly looked like a student.

Every question of his should not get an answer from Slughorn, but he firmly grasped Slughorn's weakness, turning these dark and terrifying questions into bright and aboveboard academic answers.

He was creating an illusion from beginning to end.Regarding the Horcrux, he was just curious.What's even more frightening is that he didn't even do anything, and only used words to complete this illusion.

Beside the fire, Tom Riddle stroked a ring on his left middle finger and said, "Can it only be split once? Can it be split seven times?"

"Seven times?! Merlin's beard!" Slughorn was shocked, and said in disbelief, "Tom, isn't it evil enough to kill a person? You actually want to split your soul into seven parts..."

At this moment, Slughorn finally realized that his answer was very inappropriate.

His expression changed, and he asked nervously: "What we're talking about is just a hypothetical theory, right? Tom."

Tom Riddle turned to look at Slughorn, suddenly smiled, and said, "Otherwise? I don't want to live in Azkaban, Professor! This is a secret between us!"

Kevin noticed that Slughorn's face did not show a relaxed expression, but became more dignified.Maybe at this time he has vaguely felt that the ambition of the student he loves is much bigger than he thought, even very evil!

After Slughorn's memory ended here, Kevin "returned" to the principal's office.

Now that the number of Horcruxes was finally determined, Kevin hurriedly said to Dumbledore: "Professor..."

Dumbledore raised his hand and interrupted Kevin, came to the sofa and sat down, and said, "The situation is worse than I thought, and it is also more evil than I thought."

"What do you mean?" Kevin asked.

Dumbledore said: "Remember a detail just now? The ring that Voldemort touched."

Kevin's grasp of the details of the picture has always been extraordinary. He said: "I remember. Marvolo's ring. Right?"

Dumbledore nodded and pointed to his desk.

The two horcruxes of ecstasy, the diary and the ring, are placed on it.

Marvolo's ring should have been obtained after Voldemort killed his father's family and blamed his uncle Morfin Gunter. They saw Marvolo's ring in memory just now, which means Voldemort at that time Already killed the Riddle family.

A sixth-grade student who was the same age as Kevin actually killed a family.It's still his father, and what's even more frightening is that he can still attend school indifferently.

When Kevin saw Voldemort in sixth grade before, he still felt that the opponent was not showing his sharpness, but now that he thinks about it, it is not that he is not showing, but that the blade has been covered by blood.

"Scary!" Kevin sighed, and then said, "But at least I know the number of Horcruxes now."

Combined with their previous guesses, the soul carrier chosen by Voldemort must have special meaning for him.

Kevin said: "In addition to the diary and ring that have been ecstasy, the guessed snake Nagini and the fourth Horcrux you found, that is to say, there are three more."

"No, two!" said Dumbledore, "Voldemort himself needs a soul, doesn't he?"

Kevin was stunned for a moment, and smiled wryly: "Yes, I took it for granted. That is to say, the whereabouts of the two Horcruxes are still unknown."
