"Yes, we know that Riddle's real character is distorted and extreme. He hates his name, hates his father, and at the same time, hates his fate." Dumbledore said, "But The paradox is that he adores his own blood and thinks he is lucky. He doesn't hate his mother Merope that much. He even thinks she is great. Yes, he thinks she did those things Stupid but also great, paradoxical, isn't it?"
Alvin nodded, it was indeed contradictory.
"Believe me, Voldemort will never have such feelings. He will express his greed, ignorance and anger without any scruples, instead of trying to cover it up. What he doesn't understand is love, and he has never let it go. In his eyes, he will not cry." Dumbledore said, gently stroking the tear stains on the photo with his hand, "Even if he faces his mother, he will have no scruples, but Riddle is different, or, Unlike the Riddle who just appeared in front of us, he has not completely lost his humanity."
"Okay, professor, why don't we destroy this ring for now?"
"Well, he may bring us a little unexpected surprise, and there are places in Norway that need his help. The magic left by Slytherin can only be activated by his descendants." Dumbledore said, turning his eyes When he got to the ring, a complex expression flashed across his face, "I must thank you again, Ai Wen, if you hadn't stopped me just now, I would be dead now, there is a strong curse on it, which can take one in an instant Human life, and there is no way to crack it."
He took out his wand and tapped the ring lightly, muttering something, a green brilliance flashed.
Then, he picked up the ring, and the curse on it had been lifted by him!
"I just heard you talk about the resurrection stone with him, and you know a lot more than I imagined!"
"I've seen the description of the Deathly Hallows in the Black family's collection, and the Peverell family's emblem on the ring, so..." Ivan explained.
"Everyone has their own secrets, don't tell me everything. In fact, the legend about the Deathly Hallows has been circulating for centuries, and many people have tried to find them." Dumbledore said indifferently Say, "Yes, that's right, this is the Resurrection Stone, the dream of a hopeless man, this stone is very dangerous, a bait for fools, and I am such a fool."
"Professor, did you see your sister just now?" Ivan said, "I heard you shout the name Arianna."
"Yes, I saw her, in some form, awakened from the world of the undead by the power of the Resurrection Stone." Dumbledore said, taking a deep breath, "Arianna died because of me, and I have always I deeply blame myself..."
"I have to admit, I thought she was back just now, and I thought I finally had a chance to atone for my sins and confess my sins to her." Dumbledore said, his eyes blurred again, and his voice was a little choked, " But the resurrection stone didn't really resurrect her, I didn't understand this until now, this is just a dream of a desperate man!"
Chapter 1091 Terrible Time Magic
The resurrection stone has the magical power to call the dead back into this world.
But the existence form of the summoned dead is not a soul, nor is it a memory, let alone a resurrected life.
It is a unique form that can awaken the deepest sorrow in the soul of the person who uses the resurrection stone.
Unable to make contact with the undead, this grief eventually drives that person to suicide.
Therefore, since ancient times, the resurrection stone has been a terrible weapon, the temptation of death.
As long as there are nostalgic dead in the heart, there is no way to resist the influence of the resurrection stone power.
Voldemort was made to cry by it, and Dumbledore was also addicted to it, it was really scary...
Seeing Dumbledore's nostalgic and sad look, Ivan felt that it was best not to ask about his sister or the resurrection stone.
Especially this stone also involves the secrets of the Deathly Hallows and Grindelwald, which is very sensitive.
If Dumbledore thought Ivan should know these things, he would say so.
However, Ivan felt that there was no problem in asking Tom Riddle about the god of death he saw.
He never knew that the resurrection stone could split a person's soul into a horcrux. No matter how he thought about it, it was incredible.
"Professor, Riddle just said that he entered the world of Death through the resurrection stone?" Ivan asked.
"Oh, yes, he entered that strange world, and saw the god of death!" Dumbledore said slowly while thinking, "Sounds amazing, doesn't it? We have to admit, the god of death It appeared at the right time. Although it split Tom's soul, it actually saved him, at least a part of his soul. This is also the main reason why he is confident that I can let him go. From the perspective of the soul , he was Voldemort before his fall..."
"But why did that god of death do this? Who is he?" Ivan said, "I mean, this ring has been passed down for so long, from the Peverell family to the Slytherin family, and then to the Gunter family, among them It has a history of thousands of years and has had countless owners, but no one except Riddle has had this kind of accident, but not long after he got this ring, his soul was split, which sounds very abnormal."
"That's right, it's abnormal, you've got the crux of the matter, Ivan!" Dumbledore said calmly, studying the ring in his hand carefully, "This is the most unexplainable part of his story, if it wasn't for him If I'm lying, I'm more inclined that the magic composed of the ring and the resurrection stone is specially prepared for Tom. The god of death is waiting for him specially, so as soon as he appears, the magic above will be activated, splitting him because of his love for his mother and The soul that entered the ring in grief, is preserved in a special way like a horcrux..."
"This sounds like a deliberate attempt to protect Riddle. It looks like it's hurting, but it's actually a special protective measure." Aiwen said, facing his previous guesses in his heart, he became more and more certain, "I know that there is such a way to protect Riddle." The only wizard with incredible power who is willing to protect Riddle is Salazar Slytherin. He once knew the story of his last descendant from me. With that guy's character, it is impossible to do nothing and let his The bloodline is gone."
"Proud Slytherin!" Dumbledore said in agreement, looking at Ivan with azure blue eyes, "In fact, since you went back a thousand years ago and met the four founders, time and history have been changed! I dare say that in the past two years, I have found more magic and relics left by ancient wizards than in the past few decades combined, this is the power of time magic."
"It sounds terrible!" Ivan couldn't help but said, not surprised by changing history at all.
He remembered what Titan Chronos said to himself, time magic is the most mysterious field of magic, with infinite possibilities and uncertainties.
Time in this world is a tangled net, and those who live in it cannot tell where is the starting point and where is the end point.
Countless timelines are intertwined in everything, independent of each other and influencing each other, and jointly build the entire world.
Each historical event is like a link on the Internet, and different results will lead history in different directions.
Using the time-turner to go back to the past and the future will change these key link points and allow history to enter a new trajectory.
But at the same time, time has unique properties, and different time axes are independent of each other.
Because of the existence of these link points, different time axes coincide with each other at specific time nodes, and even affect each other.
What happened in the past may be your future, and similarly, what happened in the future may be the past.
Too entangled, trying to clear up all the clues on the timeline, the end result is getting lost in time...
For now, because Ivan has only used the time converter once, things are not that complicated.
In the normal timeline, without Ivan, Slytherin didn't know about Voldemort, so naturally there would be no magic left behind.
So 15-year-old Tom Riddle snatched the ring from Morfin and went to the nearby Riddle House to kill his father and grandparents.
He blamed these on Morfin, and returned to Hogwarts to continue his studies, looking for the secret of making Horcruxes.
Before killing his own father with his own hands, he could only be described as a young man with a dark personality and extreme ideas.
Not surprising given the circumstances in which he grew up.
But after killing his father with his own hands and completing the first murder in his life, he completely degenerated.
Regardless of whether there was love and other positive spirits in his soul, they also disappeared in the utter depravity.
Ultimately, he became the dreaded Voldemort.
And half a century later, Dumbledore came here to complete the redemption of his sins, at the price of his life.
But in the current time, the appearance of Aiwen returns to the meeting between Hogwarts and the four founders thousands of years ago.
He changed many things on the timeline, and history has changed.
Think about it, as the four most outstanding wizards in history, after knowing the status quo of the wizarding world from Ivan, it is impossible for Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff to stay Trials and secret treasures while doing nothing.
They have their own ideas, the will and beliefs to uphold, and the ability and strength to change history.
Put yourself in his shoes, if Ivan had this opportunity, he would definitely do something.
Of course, as an insignificant part of the time network, he only feels terrible now...
Terrible time magic, no wonder the Ministry of Magic has to strictly control and prohibit all wizard research.
Chapter 1092 Nurmengard
In the current timeline, Ivan returned to Hogwarts a thousand years ago to meet Slytherin in the first grade.
But at that time, more than half a century had passed since Tom Riddle obtained the ring in this cabin and killed his father.
Before Ivan returned to the millennium, Slytherin didn't know about Voldemort's appearance, so naturally he wouldn't leave any magic behind.
Therefore, part of Tom Riddle's soul will not be split and rescued, this is past history.
But after he went back, everything changed drastically.
Slytherin left behind magic, and this Horcrux became what it is today, which was the future for Ivan at the time.
Time magic is exactly like this, making it impossible to tell where the beginning is and where the end is.
The past history can be changed into a new future, which continues to affect the subsequent longer future.
This is just the simplest change. If Aiwen gets the time converter and uses him to travel non-stop in different time axes, and the time of departure and return is not the same, then I am afraid it will be completely unclear. .
There is no way to tell which is the current Aiwen, which is the past, and which is the future.
But there is no doubt that every change can have an impact on the timeline.
He is not a time titan. In the end, he may not even affect his own existence, or if he is lost in the long flow of time because of this, Ivan dare not think about it anymore...
He decided that even if he got the Time Converter, he should use it with caution, with as little intervention time as possible.
"It's really scary, so we should use magic with awe, especially when mastering powerful power, and we must not lose our mind." Dumbledore said, putting the ring on his right hand, "Okay Alright, Ivan, we've been here for a long time, it's time to go pick up Keresis!"
Because of Tom Riddle, it is better for Dumbledore to keep this ring for now.
He knew how to deal with the Resurrection Stone and Riddle, and would not be easily seduced by Riddle, but would be able to investigate the truth.
Riddle said he wanted to prove that he had no connection with Voldemort's soul, and Ivan also wanted to see how he could prove it.
Leaving aside the ring, at present, Voldemort's Horcruxes are only Harry, the fiend statue and Hufflepuff's gold cup.
Among them, the easiest to solve is Hufflepuff's gold cup.
It is kept in Bellatrix's vault in Gringotts. It is almost impossible for her to take out the gold cup. It seems that I have to find time to go to Gringotts. Although Gringotts is well-defended, But Dumbledore or Ivan's current strength is nothing.
Jinbei is the easiest, and the rest are troublesome.
Especially the statue of the evil god, it is not only a Horcrux, but also a huge unstable factor.
Therefore, the most important thing at present is to find the clues left by the Big Four as soon as possible, and solve the trouble of the evil god.
The most urgent thing is the relics left by Slytherin in the vampire family, especially from where Voldemort got the secret of the evil god.
"Well, professor, you said before that Keresis was receiving treatment at Grindelwald?" Ivan looked up and asked.
"Vampires are very powerful creatures. Most injuries can be recovered by supplementing blood intake, but there is a mysterious magic power in Keresis' body that affects him. It is a kind of curse, related to death..." Deng Bullido said that he waved his wand and seemed to send a signal, and the Phoenix Fox appeared above the heads of the two, "That curse does not belong to Voldemort, nor does it belong to the evil god. It was Gellert who left it in the building of the Hall of Valor. of."
"Voldemort got the power left by Grindelwald?"
"No, he just used the remaining power he left behind, and the Valkyries flying in the hall are part of it." Dumbledore said, "That is a very magical power, related to death..."
This is the second time Dumbledore has said this, and the Hall of Valor and Valkyrie itself are related to death, souls, and resurrection.
These words are very sensitive, and it sounds like people's imagination.
But since it was related to death, Dumbledore didn't think about begging Grindelwald to resurrect his sister.
If there is this possibility, he will definitely not give up, so this is enough to show that these powers related to death are not like the Horcruxes and resurrection stones made by Voldemort to conquer death or resurrection, but to use the power of death to kill each other.
"What are these powers related to death?" Ivan asked, hoping that Dumbledore could speak more clearly.
"It's a weapon!" said Dumbledore seriously. "I told you before in Norway that Gellert wasn't as afraid of death as Voldemort was, that he wasn't interested in trying to conquer it or escape, or It is dismissive, he is more interested in power, powerful power, every research of his is to make himself stronger. He also wanted to get the resurrection stone, but not really to resurrect someone, Instead, he used it to mass-produce Inferi, as did the power we saw in Valhalla, and he tried to use those valkyries to create a powerful army of the undead..."
It turns out that it is such a power related to death, which sounds very unpleasant.
In order to conquer death, Voldemort finally turned himself into a greedy monster.
Also known as the Dark Lord, Grindelwald is also a lunatic, or more thoroughly insane.
He only regards death as a weapon to make him stronger, and he hopes to use the power of death to conquer the world.
Of course, Grindelwald is much easier to deal with than Voldemort.
His thinking must ensure that he is the strongest. When a wizard stronger than him appears, such as Dumbledore, Grindelwald quickly loses everything and is imprisoned after being defeated, unlike Voldemort. Another chance.
Therefore, in terms of madness and evil, Voldemort and Grindelwald are indistinguishable from each other.
But when it comes to toughness, Voldemort is far superior to his predecessors!
"That was Gellert in the past. He must have repented for what he did in the past during the years of being imprisoned, so he agreed to help me treat Keresis this time." Dumbledore said , "Okay, Aiwen, hold on to me, we are going to Nurmengard, which is a distance away from here..."
Nurmengard, founded by Grindelwald, was once his stronghold, a dark citadel where those who opposed him were held.
After Dumbledore defeated it, it was taken over by the German Ministry of Magic and became a wizard prison as famous as Azkaban.
Although it has not been established for a long time, many vicious prisoners are held there.
Moreover, the most terrifying ones are also the guards of Nurmengard...
Chapter 1093 For the Greater Good
Like Azkaban, there are very few materials about Nurmengard in the wizarding world, and some are only rumors.
Among these rumors, the scariest, and most fantastical at the same time, is the caretaker of Nurmengard.
Some people say that those guards, like the dementors in Azkaban, are nightmare monsters from the deepest depths of hell, and no one can resist them.
Others say that the Wardens of Nurmengard are a terrible curse, the personification of death.
Regardless of the rumors themselves and the truth behind them, there is one thing that cannot be denied, that is, all the prisoners who tried to escape from Nurmengard died in the end, disappeared from the world, and never appeared again.
But what exactly Nurmengard looks like, and what kind of creature the guard is, no one knows.
Only those who have been there personally know the specific situation and how terrifying it is. Ordinary wizards talk about it.
Whether it's its past or its present, the inmates held there and the legends hidden behind the buildings.
Aiwen originally thought that he would see a chilling and terrifying building like Azkaban. Terrible jailers like dementors wandered in the ruins, sucking away all the joy and vitality of the land, leaving fear and despair.
