Eight Hundred and Thirtieth Chapters: Prepare for a Rainy Day

"Why do you ask this?" Slughorn was very nervous, subconsciously looked around, and even wanted to use magic to check to see if there were other people peeping at them; because the manufacturing method of Horcruxes is Forbidden knowledge is strictly restricted from leaking out. He accidentally revealed this secret to Tom Riddle before, which created Voldemort today.

"I have to make some preparations!" Shen Long sighed, "Inventing the wolfsbane potion will definitely offend Fenrir Greyback, he is one of the most important Death Eaters under the mysterious man, and the mysterious man will find him sooner or later. Come on me, I can't be unprepared."

"Professor, I believe you have also entered their sight." Shen Long warned, this is not just his own business, "The mysterious man has probably started making Horcruxes, and I must understand this knowledge if I want to eliminate him. "

Shen Long searched all over the library, but he couldn't find the "Advanced Dark Magic Decryption" which recorded the Horcrux production method in detail. It was probably hidden by Dumbledore, so he could only come to Slughorn for advice. Well, compared to Dumbledore, it's easier to convince him.

More than a year ago, Shen Long had already gained Slughorn's trust, coupled with Voldemort's threat, Shen Long spent a lot of effort, and finally asked Slughorn about the Horcrux. knowledge.

"The method of making Horcruxes comes from ancient Egyptian wizards. The word Horcrux (Horcrux) evolved from Horus. The body of Horus' father Osiris was messed up by Seth. It was thrown away behind, but it was resurrected as a mummy, and Osiris, who was resurrected from the dead, became a model for all the dead. In mythology, it was the god Horus who taught humans how to make mummies; and ancient Egyptian wizards used it to study A method for making Horcruxes."

After explaining the history of Horcruxes, Slughorn began to talk to Shen Long about the methods of making and destroying Horcruxes, "Making a Horcrux requires black wizards to shatter and split their own souls through murder and other evil things. Then separate part of the soul from the body and seal it in a container. This container is a horcrux, so that even if the body is destroyed, it will not die, because there is still a part of the soul that has not been damaged and remains in the world, but the soul should remain intact. , to split it is an evil act against nature, which leads to insanity."

"If you want to kill a black mage who made a horcrux completely, you must destroy all the horcruxes, but you must be very careful when destroying the horcruxes, because they are often under the protection of powerful black magic."

Shen Long nodded. He remembered this very clearly. Dumbledore was hit by black magic when he destroyed Marvolo Gaunt's ring. Even Dumbledore couldn't heal the wound caused by the black magic.

So, how many Horcruxes does Voldemort own now, and where are they hidden? Shen Long began to recall the novel. The first Horcrux that appeared in the original novel was Tom Riddle's diary, which Lucius secretly stuffed into Ginny's books. It is not known where it is now.

The second Horcrux is the ring of Marvolo Gaunt, kept in the old Gaunt house of the Slytherin family.

The third Horcrux is Slytherin's locket, which is kept in the cave Tom visited when he was young, and is protected by powerful black magic. It should not be taken by Regulus Black yet.

The fourth horcrux is Hufflepuff's golden cup, which was placed in Gringotts by the vigilant Voldemort and guarded by dragons. The place where the golden cup was placed was cast with a fire spell and a copy spell, and the objects it touched would become hot and replicated. Own.

The fifth horcrux is the crown of Ravenclaw. It was made into a horcrux by Tom Riddle's clever words. When Riddle went to Hogwarts to apply for a job from Dumbledore, he hid in the Room of Requirement , is hidden in Hogwarts, this one can be found first and destroyed.

The sixth Horcrux is the serpent Nagini. According to the news from Lucius, Nagini is now with Voldemort, and it is estimated that he will not be able to find a solution until the end.

Now Harry Potter has not yet been born, and the seventh horcrux does not exist yet, so to kill Voldemort, you only need to solve six horcruxes; after pondering this, Shen Long once again thought of the problem of Voyager Well, if Voldemort knew a little bit of science and secretly hid a Horcrux here or on the moon probe, then he probably wouldn't be able to kill him.

Hey, this is the disadvantage of being uneducated. As long as the Horcruxes are still hidden on the earth, how can they be found, or can they be used? Once you fly too far, you can't receive the signal, so you can't be resurrected?

Specific methods must be adopted to destroy Horcruxes. Horcruxes that can be destroyed must be substances that are so powerful that they can no longer be repaired by magic, such as basilisk venom, Fierce Curse and Avada Killing Curse, etc., the sword of Gryffindor itself cannot destroy the Horcrux, it can destroy the Horcrux because it absorbs the venom of the basilisk.

So banning the study of black magic is also harmful. If you don’t know the Fiercefire Curse and Avada Kedavra, and you can’t get the basilisk’s venom, how can you destroy Horcruxes?

Shen Long thought of the dwarven mithril sword he carried in his portable space, and the Valyrian steel dagger he borrowed from Arya. These two weapons also have the effect of dispelling evil. I don't know if they can destroy Horcruxes. ?

Forget it, let Dumbledore do these things! I am still a child, why do I have to bear this kind of pressure that is not commensurate with my age? Find an opportunity to secretly find out the Room of Requirement, and then hand over Ravenclaw's diadem to Dumbledore. Then let him find a way to destroy it; as for me, I'd better continue to grow obscenely, and increase my relationship with Lily by the way up.

Coming out of Slughorn, Shen Long was quiet for a while. After the final exam of the second grade, he entered the Room of Requirement according to the records in the book, got the Ravenclaw crown, and gave it to Dumbledore .

"Severus, how did you find the Room of Requirement?" Dumbledore saw traces of dark magic on this treasure.

"In order to celebrate Slytherin getting the house cup, I drank a lot of drinks, I desperately wanted to go to the toilet, and then I went in, and there were all kinds of exquisite potties..." Shen Long said Dumbledore's future experience speaks out.

"Well, thank you, Severus, you have made a great contribution to Hogwarts." Dumbledore was suspicious of him, but he didn't show anything. After sending Shen Long away, he looked Contemplating the Horcrux.
