Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"Don't worry, professor, I won't say anything." Riddle left after finishing speaking.

He turned around, and Ivan, Harry, and Dumbledore standing in this direction could see his face, which was full of ecstasy, just like when he just found out that he was a wizard, that kind of joy did not make his face more handsome , but it looks a little hideous...

"Here we are, Ivan, Harry!" Dumbledore whispered, "Let's go..."

Ivan and Harry fell back to the floor of the office, and Dumbledore was already sitting behind the desk.

The two of them also sat down, and before Dumbledore could speak, Ivan said, "Professor, Voldemort made seven Horcruxes."

"Yes, I also guessed this number at first. As Riddle said, seven is the most magical number. In fact, I have been waiting for this proof for a long time." Dumbledore said, "It confirms my Speculate, prove me right..."

"The ring of the Gaunt family, Riddle's diary, Slytherin's locket, Hufflepuff's gold cup, Ravenclaw's crown, the statue of the evil god..." Ivan said one by one, reporting Voldemort's horcruxes.

He noticed that the old headmasters in the portraits on the wall were all awake, eavesdropping on their conversations, and a fat wizard with a red nose had pulled out a hearing aid.

"There are already six, and there is one more that we don't know." Ai Wen finally said.

Of course he knew what the last Horcrux was, but couldn't say it because it was Harry Potter!

Harry Potter is the last of Voldemort's seven Horcruxes, a Horcrux born by accident.

In Aiwen's view, how to destroy this Horcrux is the most difficult problem, and he has no good solution until now.

Because, this means that Harry must die!

Let Dumbledore handle it, teach Harry how to face death correctly, and come back from the dead...

"Perhaps he hasn't had time to make the last Horcrux. We already know that Voldemort didn't randomly choose objects to house his soul, but chose those objects that are connected to the history of Hogwarts." Dumbledore paused for a while , continued, "Of course, it is also possible that he has created the seventh Horcrux, using items or methods we don't know..."

He glanced at Harry and changed the subject.

"Actually, Ivan and Harry, the memory we just saw is very important. The number of Horcruxes Voldemort wishes to create is just one of the important messages it expresses. I believe you two should understand the memory just now. Dialogue matters. At your age, 16-year-old Tom Riddle is trying to figure out how to make himself immortal."

"He obviously achieved his goal and didn't die after he failed to attack me." Harry said, noticing Dumbledore's look at him, but didn't think much about it, "Because he created multiple Horcruxes, he was It's okay if the Avada Kedavra hits."

"Yes, this is exactly the function of Horcruxes. As long as one of the souls is safe, he is immortal." Dumbledore said, "As Ivan said just now, the number of Voldemort's Horcruxes can be determined at present. There are six, of which the statue of the evil god was made recently, and there is an unsure. That is to say, before he failed to escape last time, he had produced at least five Horcruxes, an astonishing number. We all Hearing that, what he especially wanted to know from Slughorn was what would happen if a wizard made multiple Horcruxes, if a wizard killed multiple times in order to avoid death, and split his soul multiple times, there would be multiple Horcruxes. In a horcrux stored alone, what would be the consequences. No book can give him this knowledge, as far as I know, and I think Voldemort also knows, no wizard before him has split the soul into more than two pieces, even if Even the wretched Helbo, who invented the magic, did not do it."

"It's not that I didn't do it, but I didn't dare to do it. This is a bold and crazy idea." Ivan said.

Even if a more evil evil god appeared now, thinking about it, he still felt that Voldemort was terrible.

This horror is not only cruel to the enemy, but also cruel to oneself beyond imagination.

Souls separated again and again, that evil, that pain, that torture...

Just thinking about it is enough to make people freeze.

There are many dark wizards who are evil enough to consider making Horcruxes, but they will never make more than two, let alone seven.

Dumbledore paused, collected his thoughts, and said, "Actually, as early as when he came back to seek me a position in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, I had already guessed that Voldemort made Horcruxes, His soul state was extremely unstable at that time, even without testing, I could feel it just sitting here, but there was no direct evidence. Until four years ago, you two gave the book that taught people how to open the secret room Bring me the diary, so I can be sure that Voldemort split his soul..."

Chapter 1463 Immortality

Without using magic detection, Dumbledore can keenly perceive the stability of a person's soul. This has happened many times. He can feel Voldemort's unstable soul due to multiple splits, and he can also feel the stability of a person's soul. Lee is affected and becomes unstable soul.

In other words, he now knew that Harry had a fragment of Voldemort's soul inside him!

Really, a formidable talent.

Ivan learned from Dumbledore how to feel magic power and witness the traces of magic, but he couldn't feel the state of a person's soul, which is a higher level of perception than witnessing magic.

"That diary, Riddle's diary, is undoubtedly a Horcrux, at least it functions as a Horcrux. Until it is destroyed, Voldemort's soul fragments stored in it are safe." Dumbledore said , "But this is not what shocked me. What really interested and surprised me was the phenomenon you described to me that I had never seen before. That piece of soul fragment would have its own actions and thoughts? That piece of A soul shard that would absorb the life of Mr. Weasley who got it?"

"Can't other Horcruxes do this?"

"I can't, it's not the first time I've seen a Horcrux, but Voldemort's Horcrux is obviously different." Dumbledore said, "While confirming that the diary is a Horcrux, it also gave I asked more questions, like, it was used as both a shield and a weapon."

"what?"

"It functions perfectly as a horcrux, the piece of soul hidden inside is safe, and it does function to help the owner avoid death. But that's not all, Riddle no doubt wants someone to read that diary, Hopefully that piece of his soul will be attached to someone else so that the Slytherin monsters can be unleashed again."

"I know what it's about, Professor!" Harry said, "He wants people to know he's the Heir of Slytherin, because he wasn't entitled."

Ivan didn't rush to express, he was thinking about Dumbledore's words, Voldemort's Horcrux was different from other people's Horcrux, it was used as both a protective device and a weapon.

It is highly active.

Activity, this kind of adjective used on Horcruxes may not be accurate and professional enough, but this is undoubtedly Aiwen's first thought.

A highly active horcrux not only plays the role of a horcrux quietly, but also selectively actively attacks or lures those who approach it.

After being reminded by Dumbledore, Ivan realized that Voldemort's Horcrux is indeed different, and it has a strong attack ability.

But why does it feel weird...

Thinking of this, Aiwen asked, "Professor, do Horcruxes need this kind of aggressiveness?"

"Generally not, and that's the second thing we should focus on, besides the number of Voldemort's Horcruxes," said Dumbledore. "Imagine if Voldemort wanted the diary to be passed on or rooted in some A future Hogwarts student, he is very careless about the precious soul fragments inside. As Professor Slughorn said, the purpose of the Horcrux is to seal up part of your soul safely, not to Tossed into someone else's path to risk being wiped out... This actually happened: that piece of soul is gone, and you see, that diary has a stronger Initiative, it will be destroyed, has a lot to do with its own behavior."

Not quite right, if it wasn't for Aiwen's worries at the time and his lack of ability to destroy Horcruxes, he would have destroyed that diary long ago!

But if Aiwen didn't know anything and was taken the initiative by Riddle in the diary, this Horcrux would be destroyed in the end.

This process was not led by him, it was entirely Riddle's fault in the diary, and he created such a big battle under Dumbledore's nose, it's no wonder he wasn't wiped out.

"I actually find Voldemort's carelessness about this Horcrux greatly ominous. It means that he probably plans to make more Horcruxes, so losing one wouldn't be so dangerous, or something else we say we don't know about." For more dire reasons, I don't want to believe it."

"Later, more and more facts proved that he did make multiple Horcruxes. As you told me two years later, he once said that he has gone farther than anyone else on the road to immortality. Death Eater The disciples will never know the true meaning of this sentence, but I am sure he said this to mean that he made multiple Horcruxes." Dumbledore said, "Yes, multiple Horcruxes, I believe This is something no other wizard has ever experienced. But all the signs fit together: Voldemort seems to have become less and less human over the years, and I think that metamorphosis can only be explained by the damage to his soul beyond ours. The extent of said general evil..."

"Wait, Professor, I still don't quite get it," Harry said. "He kills himself to keep himself alive? If he wants to live so badly, why doesn't he build a Philosopher's Stone, or steal one? It seems easier that way." Some."

"The number of Sorcerer's Stones is limited. In a sense, using the Sorcerer's Stone is much more difficult than creating a Horcrux. After all, the latter only needs to rely on murder, which is nothing to Voldemort." Dumbledore said , "The most important point is that the elixir does prolong life, but it must be drunk often, forever, to remain immortal. Then Voldemort will be completely dependent on the elixir. If the elixir runs out or becomes contaminated, or the Philosopher's Stone is destroyed he would have died like everyone else. Voldemort liked to act alone, remember? I'm sure he would have found dependence intolerable, even on the elixir of life. Of course, Harry, to get rid of the A dreadful half-life state, he would drink it, but only to regain his physical body. Afterwards, I believe he intends to continue to rely on his Horcruxes: he needs nothing more than to regain a human body. He has Immortal...or closer to immortality than anyone."

"If you want to defeat Voldemort, you must destroy all Horcruxes. Fortunately, we have destroyed three so far and found the most special one. Now the remaining two are Hufflepuff's gold cups. And the statue of the evil god..."

"Professor, the Gold Cup is the Horcrux that Voldemort made before he failed to escape for the first time. He must have hidden it." Ivan reminded, looking into Dumbledore's eyes, "It's hidden in a certain pair like a crown and a ring. He has a special place, or keeps it like a diary to his servants, those Death Eaters whom he holds in high esteem..."

Chapter 1464 Whereabouts of the Gold Cup

"It's not impossible." Dumbledore was noncommittal to Ivan's statement, and he asked calmly, "Ivan, if according to your assumption, he also gave this Horcrux to other Death Eaters for safekeeping , who do you think he will give to?"

"Bellatrix Lestrange!" Ivan said without hesitation.

"Why?" Dumbledore asked.

"After confirming that the golden cup was engraved with the information of the home of the house elves, I analyzed its whereabouts. I think it is most likely that the golden cup is with Bellatrix. Among the many Death Eaters, Bellatrix Kex was the most loyal to Voldemort. Even when Voldemort failed to escape, she still did not give up. Instead of hiding her identity like other Death Eaters, she went to find Voldemort's whereabouts. Bellatrix was in Death Eater High in status, even above Lucius Malfoy, Voldemort doesn't trust others, but if he had to choose one of his servants to keep the Horcruxes, I think Bellatrix Adams is the best choice."

"Ivan, you mean the cousin of Sirius?" Harry asked, thinking of Bellatrix whom he met at the Ministry of Magic last year.

He had the feeling that the woman was a madman, a Voldemort fanatic.

Will Voldemort give her the crucial Horcrux for safekeeping?

"Yes, that's her. Since even Malfoy has a Horcrux, there's no reason Bellatrix shouldn't."

"It's possible, but it's just a guess after all, we lack direct evidence..."

"Professor, I have another piece of evidence here, which can prove that Voldemort will definitely hand over something as important as the Gold Cup to Bellatrix instead of other Death Eaters." Ivan said, "Remember? During the battle at the Ministry of Magic, I was taken back to the future by a time-turner, and I saw Voldemort's daughter in that future, the daughter he had with Bellatrix..."

As he spoke, the image of a girl appeared in his mind.

Delphi, a girl with a dangerous idea but a beautiful and lovely appearance.

She was the illegitimate daughter of Voldemort and Bellatrix, which sounds implausible, but in one possible future it did happen.

I don't know what happened to Delphi after Aiwen took the time converter away?

Ivan remembered that when he left, the future he just walked into Hermione's office and hit Delphi head-on.

In other words, how will he arrange this girl in the future?

Ivan thought about this idea for a while, and his thoughts came back to his eyes again. This is not what he should focus on now. If Voldemort still has a daughter this time, Ivan will know in the future...

"Oh, Voldemort's daughter?! Very valuable information, Ivan, and the source is also very interesting. Although the future will be changed, I think in a sense, this news can indeed prove that Voldemort and Berat Ricks is very close, even if he still won't trust her, he won't tell her that the gold cup is a Horcrux." For the news of Ivan, Dumbledore was obviously very interested, and while he was thinking, he looked like Was saying to herself, "If Bellatrix had Hufflepuff's cup in her hands, where would she hide it? Where would she think the safest place?"

"I think it is possible that she is in the underground vault of Gringotts, where wizards keep important items." Ivan said.

Unlike Malfoy, Bellatrix does not have any family estates, and the rented house of the Black family does not belong to her.

She would not wear important items that Voldemort gave her, or hide them in places without any security protection.

So the only place that would keep her personal belongings while she was in Azkaban was Gringotts.

The good thing about goblins is that they don't care what their client's identity is, and they don't care if they are criminals. In fact, goblins probably hope that Bellatrix will be locked in Azkaban forever and not come out. Only then can they claim Bellatrix's treasure for themselves.

"Bellatrix's vault, very wise reasoning, Ivan." Dumbledore said, "It seems that we are going to be ready to go to the underground vault of Gringotts."

It seems that he believed Ivan's speculation, and he was put on the plan to enter the underground of Gringotts.

"Professor, if we explain the matter, will those goblins take the initiative to hand over the gold cup?"

"I don't think so!" Dumbledore shook his head. "The goblins love all kinds of treasures beyond imagination. They won't obey the orders of a wizard or the Ministry of Magic to hand over the contents of the underground vault. Unless we take strong measures, which is not allowed by our position."

"Then we're breaking in illegally?"

"If we can be sure that the gold cup is indeed in Bellatrix's vault, this is our only way." said Dumbledore, "but it is best not to be found by the goblins, otherwise they may take some extreme measures of revenge. , in the current situation where the war is about to start, it is extremely unwise to do so. Also, Bellatrix is ​​currently imprisoned in the Azkaban wizard prison. Before illegally breaking into the underground vault of Gringotts, we It's best to go to her to confirm the news."

"As long as the cup is indeed in Bellatrix's vault at Gringotts, it's a bit of a hassle to get it out, but it's not a very difficult thing. In this way, the remaining Horcruxes that need to be dealt with That's the statue, we saw it last time in the ruins of Norway, and saw its terrible attacks, I think this is the hardest part." Dumbledore said, "Remember what we just said If he wants, Voldemort will make his horcruxes very aggressive, and his soul fragments can make full use of the characteristics of the items made into horcruxes, and that statue..."

He didn't need to finish, Ivan understood what Dumbledore meant.

That statue is connected to the evil god in the endless void, it is its coordinates in the real world, and it is an item that it perceives in this world. It is very aggressive in itself. Voldemort made it into a Horcrux, which is equivalent to using a certain evil god in disguise. Part of the power, it's scary.

In other words, if they want to destroy the Horcrux, they may have to fight the statue of the evil god first.

Even though Ivan has won many times with the help of "The Book of Abraham", he is still not absolutely sure.He has never seen the complete body of the evil god, and it may not even have a ten-millionth of its power. Who knows if there will be any changes in the combination of Voldemort's soul fragments and the evil god...

Chapter 1465 The Method of Destroying the Statue Horcrux

The combination of Voldemort and Cthulhu, dangerous and aggressive, will show a terrible effect of one plus one greater than two.

Even if the horcrux contained incomplete Voldemort and evil gods, and the power it possessed was incomplete, it was still terrifying enough.

Think about it, what kind of effect would Voldemort's cunning and cruelty combined with the evil god's changeable mental attack methods?

The evil god lacks understanding of human beings and human nature, and it doesn't bother to understand.

The illusion it creates is created by the victim deep in his heart. Because he doesn't understand it, sometimes it makes people feel awkward.

Unlike evil gods, Voldemort understands human nature very well and knows how to lure a person step by step until he controls or destroys him.

Combining the two...

The scenes and dangers that Aiwen saw in the Centaur ruins and the Norwegian ruins will reappear, and will be even more terrifying.

In addition, he also thought of one thing, the Horcrux itself has the effect of strengthening ordinary objects to make them indestructible, and as the coordinates of the evil god in this world, the statue of the evil god itself is completely indestructible, even those powerful The ancient warlocks can only seal it.

In other words, they have to face a Horcrux that cannot be destroyed!

A Horcrux that cannot be destroyed, wouldn't Voldemort already live forever?

"Professor, have you found a way to destroy that statue?" Ivan asked.

"No, all the information we have found so far shows that the statue is indestructible. This is not good news, is it? Thinking against us, Voldemort's Horcrux is very dangerous. It has something that other Horcruxes do not have. It is a perfect Horcrux." Dumbledore paused, then continued, "But I think it was thoughtless for him to choose that statue as a Horcrux. It is very dangerous to entrust a part of the soul to a thinking thing, especially to such a powerful and evil creature, it is an act bordering on madness."

"Crazy behavior?"

"Yes, there are many disadvantages. For example, it is very difficult for us to destroy the soul from the outside, but it is very easy to destroy it from the inside."

"You mean, it is possible for the evil god to destroy Voldemort's soul fragments?" Ivan asked.

It was a novel idea, maybe without them doing anything, Voldemort's Horcrux would have killed itself, eaten by the evil god inside the statue.

The more powerful the power, the more restrictive it is to use, and the greater the price to pay.

If you want to borrow the power of the evil god, you must be prepared to be destroyed by the evil god. Has Voldemort already realized this?

"I think it's quite possible that the reason why the evil creature allowed Voldemort to use its statue, something important to it, as a Horcrux, and borrow its power in this way, is because Voldemort can help it at present, and they are using each other, but they cannot coexist peacefully for a long time, that creature may not have the intention to control Voldemort." Dumbledore said, "In fact, with me From what I know about Voldemort, he is not the kind of person who is willing to be controlled, even if the opponent's power is stronger than him, the contradiction between them is very big, and it will become bigger and bigger. If Voldemort can't meet its requirements one day, then It will be destroyed, or it will lead Voldemort to find a way to destroy it, then he will definitely act without hesitation."

Based on this analysis, the possibility of the Horcrux exploding by itself is indeed very high, but the timing is unknown.

No one can be sure what the evil god thinks, Ivan thinks that Dumbledore will not wait indefinitely, they don't have that much time.

"That is to say, professor, we can try our best to prevent Voldemort's plan, in the hope that the creature in the statue will lose hope of him or endure to the limit, and then take action on its soul fragments." Ivan said, "It would be better if this is the case. , but isn’t the process and the time it takes too long?”

"It's very long, we don't have enough time to wait, and let Voldemort and his Death Eaters wreak havoc in the wizarding world." Dumbledore replied, "So, we need to change our thinking, since there is no way to destroy the world from the outside. That statue, we can consider destroying Voldemort's soul fragment from the inside; since we can't expect them to kill each other, then we can enter that statue and destroy Voldemort's soul."

"Enter the statue?!"

What's inside the statue?

Two evil spirits and a pile of wood?
