Chapter 627： The mystery of the Horcrux

Chapter 627 The Mystery of Horcrux

One of them was Riddle, his handsome face and the most relaxed one, his right hand resting carelessly on the arm of the chair.

Riddle already carried a huge black gem ring on his finger at this time, which looked very luxurious. Obviously, at this time he had already killed his father and blamed his uncle Morfin.

"This is Marvolo's heirloom, right?" George said in surprise. "Such a large black gem, even if you sell Riddle, you can't buy the corners of this ring. The whole Hogg Watts's teacher, didn't he care at all?"

A poor student in an orphanage, with such a big fanfare, wearing a luxurious black jewel ring, is still the heirloom of the Marvolo family.

Amazingly, none of the teachers at Hogwarts noticed. Especially Dumbledore has been investigating Riddle. What is he investigating?

Dumbledore looked a little embarrassed. He said embarrassedly, "The Marvolo family has been crazy for years. They can't deal with other people at all. People in the magic world know very little about them. I also graduated from Voldemort After that, the information was found."

"However, I did not notice at the time. Riddle already had this ring in his hand. At that time, I didn't pay much attention to it." Dumbledore was annoyed, and it was another opportunity to catch the young Voldemort. , Was missed by him.

He pointed to the middle-aged wizard and explained, "This is an old colleague of mine, Horace Slughorn."

At this moment, Riddle began to speak, and Dumbledore fell silent immediately.

"Sir, is Professor Melos going to retire?" Riddle asked towards Slughorn.

"Tom, Tom, I know I can't tell you."

Slughorn reproached him by shaking a frosted finger, but blinking his eyes slightly damaged the effect, "I have to say, I want to know where your news came from. , Boy. You know more than half of the teachers."

Riddle smiled slightly, and the other boys also laughed, casting admiring glances at him.

"You ghost spirit, you can know things you shouldn't know, and you will be careful to please important people. By the way, thank you for the pineapple, you guessed it, this is my favorite." Shili Hongzhuang

The boys snickered.

"I believe you will be promoted to Minister of Magic in twenty years. Maybe only fifteen years, if you often give me candied pineapples. I have a very hard relationship in the ministry."

The other boys laughed again, and Tom Riddle smiled slightly, like a big man.

"I don't know if politics is right for me, sir," Tom Riddle said lightly after the laughter died down, "First of all I have no background."

"What?" Slughorn said heartily, "you must come from a decent family of wizards. That's not clear enough. You have a bright future, Tom, I have never missed a student. "

The small golden clock on Slughorn's desk struck at eleven.

"God, it's time? It's time to go, kids, or we're in trouble. Lestrange, hand in the paper tomorrow, or we'll be locked up. The same goes for you, Avery."

The boys filed out. Slughorn got up from the chair and brought the empty glass to the table. The movement behind him turned his head back, Riddle was still standing there.

"Hurry up, Tom, you don't want to be caught until the lights are out. You are the prefect."

"Sir, I want to ask you something."

"Then ask, kid, ask..."

"Sir, I want to ask if you know, Horcrux."

Slughorn glared at Riddle, and his fat fingers stroked the cup's feet absently.

"The subject of Defense Against the Dark Arts, isn't it?"

No, sir, I don’t understand what I saw in the book. "

George raised his eyebrows. Hogwarts at that time was obviously more open than later, and wizards were also more likely to gain power. *The books in the district can even be found in Horcrux manufacturing. Fortunately, now Hogwarts is his.

He glanced at Dumbledore, who was watching Riddle intently, hoping that he wouldn't take anything valuable from Hogwarts, after all, those were now his collection.

[Comprehensive Man] Lulu, be happy

"Yeah...it's hard to find a book detailing Horcruxes at Hogwarts, Tom. It's a very evil thing, very evil." Slughorn said slowly.

"But you obviously know well, sir? I mean, a powerful wizard like you. I'm sorry, I mean, if you can't tell me, obviously, I only know if someone can tell me, it's you, so I just want to ask."

"Well," said Slughorn, he didn't look at Riddle, but played with the ribbon on the candied pineapple box. "Of course, it wouldn't hurt to give you a brief introduction, just to make you understand the term. Horcruxes are objects that hide part of a person’s soul."

"But I don't quite understand what's going on, sir." Riddle said gently, but there was an unusual gleam in his eyes.

Seeing this, George couldn't help but feel some nasty interest in his heart. He planned to put some interesting things in the * area in the future. If there are students like Voldemort in the future, they will definitely gain a lot from those interesting things.

"That is to say, you split your soul," Slughorn said lightly, "Hide part of it in an object outside of your body. In this way, even if your body is attacked or destroyed, you will Can't die, because there is still a part of the soul left in the world unharmed."

"But, of course is very painful to exist in this form. Life is better than death. Few people think that, Tom, there are few and few. It's easier to die."

Obviously, Riddle did not heed Professor Slughorn's warning, his face was already showing greed. Now he can't completely hide his *.

"How to divide the soul?"

"Oh," Slughorn said uneasily, "you must understand that the soul should remain intact. To divide it is a rebellion and anti-natural."

"But how to divide?"

"Through evil behavior, the most evil behavior, through murder. Killing will split the soul, and wizards who want to make Horcrux use this destruction: to seal the split soul fragments."

"Packed? But how to seal it?"

"There is a spell, don't ask me, I don't know!" Slughorn shook his head irritably, "Do I look like I tried it? Am I like a murderer?"
