Chapter 4133 4135 [Voldemort’s Magical Heritage]
Ravenclaw's diadem was found in the Room of Requirement when Xiang Nan was in first grade.
However, he was worried that there was a curse set by Voldemort on it, so he never dared to use it, lest he be like Ginny and be sucked away by Voldemort, or be like Dumbledore and be fatally cursed.
Now that he had read all the books in Hogwarts, he already had a considerable understanding of dark magic, so he could see that the curse on Ravenclaw's crown was indeed set by Voldemort.
However, this curse is not fatal. On the contrary, it contains Voldemort's unparalleled knowledge of black magic. As long as you wear it, you can learn the best black magic in the world and become a Dark Lord as powerful as Voldemort.
And precisely because of this, this crown is extremely dangerous, even more terrifying than the fatal curse.
Because the reason why people are looking for Ravenclaw's crown is to inherit Ravenclaw's wisdom and become a powerful wizard like her.
But when they put on the crown of Ravenclaw, what they learned was Voldemort's dark magic. But they didn't know that it was Voldemort's dark magic. They thought it was the inheritance of Ravenclaw, so they learned it without any precautions.
And the deeper they study, the more they will be affected by black magic.
Because black magic must be driven by negative emotions of hatred, killing, and resentment, the more black magic is used, the more depraved and evil people become.
Just like to successfully cast the Cruciatus Curse, you must have unlimited evil thoughts in your heart. The stronger the evil thoughts and the more painful the other person is, the more powerful the Cruciatus Curse is.
When Harry Potter hated Bellatrix so much (she killed Sirius at the time), he released the Cruciatus Curse on her, but it only caused her to fall over without feeling much pain.
This shows how strong the evil thoughts required to release the Cruciatus Curse are.
When they become corrupted, Voldemort will take the opportunity to **** their lives, seize their souls, and make them his hosts, just like he did with his first Horcrux diary.
This is also a back-up plan for his resurrection.
…
Fortunately, Xiang Nan had known that the crown was Voldemort's Horcrux, and the magic contained in it was Voldemort's dark magic, so he would not be deceived so easily.
On the contrary, he wanted to rob Voldemort of his magical knowledge for free, and then destroy the Horcrux after that.
But before that, he had to learn Occlumency.
Because Voldemort is a master of Legilimency, he will read other people's thoughts to see if they are loyal to him and if they are truly corrupt.
Ravenclaw's diadem is one of his Horcruxes, and also has the ability to legilimens.
It checks to see if the wearer is truly corrupted and has truly opened his or her soul to it.
If so, it would teach him more black magic, more dark, evil, and taboo knowledge, further corrupting him and then seizing his body.
If not, it places a curse that harms the wearer.
Like the curse he placed on Slytherin's locket. If it was worn by someone like Umbridge, the locket would do her no harm at all, as long as she wore it on her chest and played with it.
But when the locket was worn on Harry, Ron and Hermione, it exerted a negative influence on them, making them negative, pessimistic, infighting, and even almost strangled Harry to death.
Therefore, before wearing the crown of Ravenclaw and making a deal with the devil Voldemort, Xiang Nan needs to learn Occlumency first.
…
More advanced Occlumency masters can even disguise their own thoughts and allow others to read wrong information.
Snape was a master of Occlumency, so he was able to travel between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters, serving as a double agent. In the end, if he hadn't taken the initiative to provide Harry with his memories, everyone would have known who he was loyal to. He fooled everyone.
To practice Occlumency, you need to eliminate distracting thoughts, put aside feelings, not think, not feel... This is really too easy for Xiang Nan.
Because anyone who has successfully cultivated internal energy can be able to purify his mind, calm his mind, and have no distracting thoughts. As a top master, Xiang Nan is able to achieve the state of Immortal Buddha where "no one is without me, everything and I are forgotten".
Therefore, practicing Occlumency is really a very simple thing for Xiang Nan.
He quickly got in and learned Occlumency.
He then officially wore the crown of Ravenclaw.
…
"Extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind." A small voice sounded in the crown, "Warrior, I am glad that you found my crown. I will teach you all my knowledge."
"Thank you." Xiang Nan responded.
"What knowledge do you want to learn?" asked a small voice.
"Any knowledge." Xiang Nan responded.
"Okay, let me teach you part of it first." A small voice said.
Then it began to teach Xiang Nan magic knowledge, including spells, potions, transfiguration, and alchemy. It was all-encompassing and rich.
Xiang Nan thought that after reading the Hogwarts Library, the Room of Requirement, and the Prince family's collection of books, in terms of knowledge reserve, few in the wizarding world could match him.
But after listening to Voldemort's teachings, I still have to admire him. Voldemort is indeed a learned man. Not only has he reached the pinnacle of black magic, an unparalleled level, he also has a wealth of knowledge about other magic.
Xiang Nan concentrated on it and absorbed the knowledge seriously.
The biggest feature of Ravenclaw's crown is that it can increase the wearer's wisdom.
Specifically, after wearing it, the mind will become very clear and active. Not only will the memory be amazing, but the learning ability, understanding ability, perception ability, analysis ability, judgment ability, etc. will also be greatly improved.
It can be said that after wearing it, even a mentally retarded person can become a genius.
Because of this, Xiang Nan quickly absorbed the knowledge taught by Voldemort.
And he was also keenly aware that Voldemort had some hidden dangers when imparting knowledge.
Ninety-nine percent of the knowledge he teaches is serious knowledge, and it can be taught even in a Hogwarts classroom.
Only one percent is taboo and dangerous black magic, and it is precisely this one percent of black magic that is the most powerful, most effective, and most attractive.
At that time, he coveted the power of black magic and became more and more interested in it. He was eventually addicted to it and could not extricate himself. His human nature became evil, depraved, and dark, and eventually he became Voldemort's puppet.
It's like there is a copy of "Star Absorbing Fa" among a bunch of internal energy secret books.
People were not careful at first, thinking that it must be a door magic skill, but after practicing it, it turned out to be extremely powerful, and it improved very quickly, and naturally became addicted quickly.
And as soon as you practice and become addicted, you will be on the road of no return.
