Chapter 96 94. Four relics
Horcruxes.
The most evil black magic that Voldemort relied on for his immortality in the original book.
It can rely on killing to split the soul of the caster and store it on another dead or living thing. The things that store the soul fragments are called Horcruxes.
As long as all the Horcruxes are not destroyed, the person who created the Horcruxes can live forever, and can be resurrected even if hit by the Killing Curse.
The people who created one horcrux in history are already extremely evil, but Voldemort made a whole seven of them subjectively, and with his pride, each of these seven horcruxes is a very special item .
Now placed in front of Jon are the four relics left by the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Gryffindor's sword, Slytherin's locket, Ravenclaw's diadem and Hufflepuff's cup!
Among these four relics, except for the Gryffindor sword that has been hidden in the sorting hat, the other three are Voldemort's Horcruxes.
Staring at the four relics placed on the desk, Jon's breathing began to become rapid.
This world has changed, but the node where the world line deviated was the night when Voldemort heard the prophecy and went to kill Harry Potter, but the three Horcruxes among the four relics in front of him were all It was completed before this time node appeared.
That is to say, they are very likely to be Voldemort's Horcruxes now! It is his life gate to maintain his immortality and immortality!
Horcruxes are generally difficult to destroy, and coincidentally, the basilisk that Jon just killed, its fangs are one of the fastest weapons to destroy Horcruxes.
Even he can hold the Gryffindor sword, as long as the sword is slightly infected with the basilisk venom, it can also become a sharp weapon to destroy the Horcrux.
This is an excellent opportunity, as if it was a great gift from heaven to reward his bravery and wisdom.
Jon didn't know when he had walked to that desk, staring at the four relics, he took a deep breath, as if he was ready to pick up the four relics.
However, in the next second, he walked around the table without hesitation.
Whether God will reward the brave, Jon doesn't know, but the reward in front of him is definitely not from God.
Here is Hogwarts Castle under the control of Voldemort. He is in Voldemort's office. He just defeated the basilisk that Voldemort ordered to guard here. The relics in front of him are also Voldemort's own relics placed here.
Put your most precious and life-threatening things in a place that can most attract the attention of the enemy, and prepare all the weapons to destroy these things.
The basilisk that was killed, those Horcruxes on the table, these cannot be gifts from the heavens, but there is a high possibility that they are traps of Voldemort!
It has been more than a year since he was brought into the wizarding world. After Jon's understanding, he is very clear that Voldemort is definitely not a fool.
A smart person would do such a thing?
Jon gave up on these suspected horcruxes very decisively. This world is no longer the magical world he originally knew. He can rely on some information he read from the original work in his previous life as help, but he cannot completely rely on it. original.
Moreover, the fundamental goal of his coming to this castle this time has never been these Horcruxes.
He went around the desk, and according to the location Dumbledore had provided him before, he quickly found an upward spiral staircase in the office.
Successfully killing the basilisk did not make Jon feel at ease in the slightest. He knew very well that the death of the basilisk was just the beginning, and Dumbledore definitely wanted more than a little protection for what he got.
Holding the wand, Jon carefully stepped up the spiral staircase, all the way up.
In the magnificent banquet hall, well-dressed wizards and wizards are enjoying this Christmas ball that only the top group of wizards can attend.
If someone randomly takes a stone and throws it down on the second floor, there is a high probability that it will hit a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic or a director of a well-known company in the magic world.
But the person who was hit would only show a friendly smile to the brat throwing stones on the second floor or the provocative young man, because the one who can walk up to the second floor is the real confidant of that gentleman.
Dolokhov is one of such confidants.
At this moment, he was standing beside Voldemort vigorously. The handsome man who always kept his youthful appearance was chatting with a chubby old man with two walrus-like beards with a smile on his face.
"Teacher is a teacher after all. Once you came to the Department of International Magic Cooperation, the foreign export trade of the Ministry of Magic in the past six months has been much smoother than before. When the Minister of Magic of France came to see me last time, he praised me that you are a A true gentleman."
Slughorn still had that grinning look on his face. Nearly half a year later, he still seemed to be the same as when he first came to Voldemort's side.
"It's actually very simple to deal with these people. Please invite those who are at the helm of the French Ministry of Magic to hold a banquet, open a bottle of fine red wine, and talk about the past glory of the wizard family. Some business and policies can be negotiated in this way."
"That's why these scumbags under my command will never learn your methods." Voldemort turned his head and glanced at a wizard standing behind him, "Obviously he came from a noble family, but he usually acts like a street hooligan."
The stout former director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation just patted his head and laughed. It looked like what Voldemort said just now was actually a compliment.
Since Slughorn returned to the correct camp, this old man with a prominent background and aloof status has become the core of the core. Except for Voldemort, other wizards regardless of their status will bow their heads and call him "Slughorn!" Mr Horn."
After the Christmas dinner started, Voldemort had been talking and laughing with his former teacher. They talked about the teacher-student relationship in Hogwarts. Slughorn seemed very interested. The castle that I haven't returned to for a long time is full of nostalgia.
Voldemort also saw his mood, and introduced him to the faculty and staff who are now working in the castle.
Snape, Barty Jr. and these people are old acquaintances, so there is no need to introduce more. The people Voldemort called are some students who were not so eye-catching before.
"Scott is an excellent school doctor. The Lestrange family has many talents, and he has the experience of being a doctor in St. Mungo's. He has been a school doctor in the castle for many years, and he has done a good job. good."
