He fled down the path, covered in dust from head to toe, his frock coat fluttering behind him.

Chapter 1073 Dumbledore's Information

Ivan glanced at the old Tom Riddle on the carriage, dressed in upper-class clothes, polite and very handsome, no wonder Merope was fascinated by him.

Growing up in such an environment, Riddle was no different from the Prince Charming in fairy tales to her.

Unfortunately, she herself is not a princess, nor Cinderella, but a witch.

In the eyes of Muggles, the evil witch, and what she did later, can be described as evil.

You can get a person's body with the potion of love, but you can never get the true heart, it's just a continuation of pain.

Voldemort was the product of a nightmare of deceit, pain and distortion, a cursed child from birth.

In this process, Dumbledore, who was about to prepare for a decisive battle with Grindelwald, did not play any good role.

At that time, under the influence of Grindelwald, he was very afraid that there would be another Dark Lord, so he used some restrictive methods.

These methods may work for wizards with mediocre qualifications.

But for Voldemort, it can only have the opposite effect, making him go further and further on the dark road.

After that, Dumbledore, who had been taught a lesson, changed his mind, and only then did the current headmaster, the greatest white wizard in the world, appear.

At the same time, Voldemort, the most dangerous dark wizard in history, appeared.

"It's over, Ivan!" Dumbledore said.

He took Harry's elbow and gave it a light tug. In a blink of an eye, the two of them flew higher and higher in the darkness as if weightless, and finally landed steadily back in the small dimly lit classroom on the second floor of 12 Grimmauld Place Inside, nothing has changed from before we left.

"You know why I want you to see this memory?" said Dumbledore.

"For that ring?!" Ivan asked back.

"That's only part of it!" said Dumbledore gently, "mainly the memory itself."

"I know, this is a matter between Voldemort's parents, his uncle, and grandfather." Ivan said after thinking.

"Yes, if you want to defeat Voldemort, you need to understand him, including his growth experience and background. This is a very important part. I have collected some memories like this, and some still need to be found. In the next semester, I will Special counseling is prepared for you and Harry to help you understand this history."

"Hmm!" Ivan nodded, "What happened afterwards? It happened after Ogden left."

"Oh, he Apparated to the Ministry and came back with reinforcements in 15 minutes." Dumbledore carefully put away the memory in the Pensieve and put it in the crystal bottle, "No accident, Morfin and his Father resisted, but both were subdued and taken out of the cabin, and the Wizengamot later convicted them. Morfin had already been convicted of attacking Muggles and was sentenced to three years in Azkaban In addition to hurting Ogden, Marvolo also hurt several other officials of the Ministry of Magic and was sentenced to six months in prison."

"And they died there?"

"No, but Azkaban obviously ruined their bodies." Dumbledore said, "It's ironic, isn't it? There are rumors that Azkaban used to be one of the territories of the Slytherin family, but That's all history. The Gaunts, descendants of the Slytherins, were a very old wizarding family known for being restless and violent, a trait that became more pronounced with each passing generation due to their habit of inbreeding. Their irrationality, combined with their love of pomp and ostentation, meant that the family property was squandered long before Marvolo's generation. As you have just seen, Marvolo ended up in poverty Shockingly bad, yet unreasonably haughty and vain, he still has two ancestral relics in his hands that he values ​​as dear as his son, much more than his daughter, both of which are ours. What you need to find, one is already on you!"

"Yeah!" Ivan sighed, "Elaine is also a descendant of Slytherin, she is not like this..."

"Oh, this is another interesting topic!" Dumbledore said with interest, "Through my research during this time, I found that this vampire clan is actually not the direct descendants of Slytherin, they won't say Parseltongue is the most direct proof, but their ancestors apparently had a story with Salazar Slytherin, which requires us to go to Norway to investigate, and all evidence points to it being the last place Salazar himself lived land, and left that thing behind.”

It is indeed shocking that Keresis and Elaine are not direct descendants of Slytherins.

They just have this surname. If you think about it carefully, this can explain many things clearly!

Of course, even if there is no blood connection, they must be related to Slytherin!

"What is that thing? Is it the evil god I found under the Acantara, professor?" Ivan asked.

"It's just a part, Ivan!" Dumbledore said, "You know, that unknown creature was separated by Salazar, which are eyeballs, brain and body, and Norway is only a part of it, probably the body. Fact In fact, there is a bigger secret hidden behind this creature."

"What is it?"

"Not sure, we still lack enough information!" Dumbledore shook his head and said seriously, "This is the main purpose we need to go to Norway. I believe that Voldemort got what he needed from there, and so do we. , this information from Salazar Slytherin can help us understand the creature you call the evil god, figure out what we need to face, and defeat it."

"But, can the evil god really be defeated?" Aiwen said, without much confidence, he thought the seal was the best result.

"Maybe, what we need to defeat is only their ideas in this world, not their bodies in the void." Dumbledore said, "It's not without precedent, Salazar Slytherin himself has done it, it's true A mighty wizard!"

After a moment of silence, Ivan agreed with Dumbledore's evaluation, Salazar is a powerful wizard.

The man who can defeat the evil god and dissect his body is a strong and perverted guy no matter from which angle he looks at it.

Immediately afterwards, he thought of another question, how did such a strong wizard die? !

From what he knew, it seemed that Salazar Slytherin would not accept the end of his life willingly.

"Okay, Ivan, let's turn the topic back to the memory just now!" Dumbledore said, "I think you should have seen it, we happened to catch a glimpse of Voldemort's father, the man in the carriage. "

"I see it, old Tom Riddle!"

"Yes, you see, he is a handsome Muggle who often rides past the Gaunt's cabin, and Merope Gaunt is obsessively in love with him." Dumbledore said simply, " Then they were together!"

Chapter 1074 Voldemort's Secret

"I know, it should be a love potion!" Ai Wen said, and he knew this for a long time. "They seem to be two unrelated people. Without the help of magic, they would not love each other, let alone be together."

"This is also a very important part of history, it's a pity that we can't get the memory of the person involved!" Dumbledore said, "But it is not difficult to speculate that, as you said, Merope borrowed the power of magic. She doesn't seem to be able to use her full magical powers during the Reign of Terror. Once Marvolo and Morfin are locked in Azkaban, once she's alone for the first time and can do whatever she wants, I believe, she can Putting her talents to good use, plotting an escape from the miserable life she's led for 18 years. Yes, she's not a Squib, but a wizard with the ability to cast spells."

As Dumbledore said, he put the crystal bottle of memory aside and took out another one.

In a way, Merope is so similar to his sister.

But that's another sad story!

"Your reasoning just now is great, Ivan, and I personally tend to think that she used the love potion!" Dumbledore continued, "I believe she will find it more romantic that way, and it will not be too difficult to operate. A certain hot One day, Riddle rode over alone, and Merope persuaded him to drink a glass of water. Anyway, a few months after the scene we just witnessed, a shocking scandal broke out in the village of Little Hangleton. As you can imagine, What a chatter there will be when people hear that the squire's son has eloped with the vagabond's daughter, Merope."

"But believe me, the shock of the villagers is nothing compared to the shock of Marvolo. When Marvolo came back from Azkaban six months later, he expected to see his daughter waiting obediently. Looking at him, there was steaming hot food on the table. He didn't expect that the dust in the room was more than an inch thick, and the daughter left a farewell note, which wrote what she had done."

"From what I can find, he has never mentioned his daughter's name or existence since then. The shock of his daughter's abandonment of the family is probably due to his premature death. Another cause of death. Or, he probably never learned how to feed himself. Anyway, he didn't live to see Morfin return to the cabin."

Dumbledore told what happened later in one breath. These things had nothing to do with Slytherin's ring, but they were also very crucial, very important things, things that Voldemort didn't want others to know.

It seems that what Ivan said last night to persuade Dumbledore to destroy Voldemort worked.

He had already started to deal with these matters, and began to sort out the memories related to Voldemort's past.

It's really scary, Voldemort himself probably thought these things were history!

But Dumbledore dug him out. He knew everything about Voldemort, even better than Voldemort himself.

He'd been gathering this intel since he thought Voldemort was a threat.

This is Dumbledore, he will never be as simple as the headmaster of Hogwarts on the podium.

Anyone who thinks Dumbledore can be easily defeated, like Fudge, is just as stupid as he is.

Having said that, except for some experiences written on paper and increasingly vague memories, Ivan knows nothing about Dumbledore's past, such as how did he obtain such powerful power?How to get Phoenix Fox?

Also, what happened between him and Grindelwald?

Dumbledore once told Ivan that they had traveled all over the world in order to gain power.

What is certain is that they have been to the Maelstrom of Charybdis, the place where the time titans fell, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor have also been there, and Dumbledore and Grindelwald are definitely not there for sightseeing Yes, what did they find?

Besides, where else have they been?

It is said that only the mysterious east can find the phoenix, where fire and water blend together and life reincarnates...

"You know, a few months after Voldemort's parents eloped and got married, old Tom Riddle returned to the big house in Little Hangleton, but he didn't bring his wife with him." Wen was distracted, and Dumbledore continued, "There are rumors among the neighbors that he insisted that he was deceived and deceived. I think he must mean that he was under magic, and now the magic has been lifted. But I'm sure he wouldn't dare to use such a word, lest people think he was crazy. However, the villagers heard him and guessed that Merope had lied to Tom Riddle and pretended that she was going to do it for him. He had a child, which forced him to marry her."

"Well, but she really gave birth!" Ivan said subconsciously.

"Yes, but that was a year after their marriage, and she was pregnant when Tom Riddle left her," said Dumbledore. "Merope loved her husband dearly, I think, She couldn't bear to keep him under magical control. I think she made a decision not to give him love potions. Maybe, because she was so obsessed with love, she believed that her husband would do the same Falling in love with her. At least, will stay for the child. Unfortunately, both of her plans fell through. Riddle left her and never saw her again, nor did he bother to find out what happened to his son .”

"It's ruthless!"

"Ruthless, maybe, but I'm more inclined to be human!" Dumbledore said, "Are you ready, Ivan? I hope to see another memory, the secret about Voldemort himself, before we leave."

"Yeah!" Evan nodded.

"I hope you can understand that I am very lucky to be able to collect this memory. He is the most precious of all my treasures." Dumbledore said, "It is also it that can help us find the coin that was destroyed by Voldemort. The ring that just got up."

"I understand!" Ivan said, your luck is Voldemort's.

As before, Voldemort probably didn't expect Dumbledore to learn so much about him.

"Very well, let's come." Dumbledore said softly, "Also, let's talk when we have something to say!"

Aiwen entered the Pensieve, and after the familiar feeling of falling in the void, he landed on a dirty stone floor.

It was almost pitch black around, and it took him a few seconds before he recognized this place, which was the old house of the Gaunt family.

Compared with the dilapidated houses I saw before, the Gaunt's house at this time was indescribably filthy, beyond imagination.

There are thick cobwebs on the ceiling, the ground is dark, and there are moldy food and a pile of rusty pots on the table.

The only light came from a crumbling candle at the feet of a man whose hair and beard had grown so long that they covered his eyes and mouth. For a moment, Ivan even wondered if he was dead, but suddenly there was a loud noise The knock on the door made the man startle, and he woke up, his wand raised in his right hand, and a short knife in his left.

This familiar action evokes Ivan's memory. He is Voldemort's uncle Morfin.

Chapter 1075 The Terrible Voldemort

"The next part of the conversation was completed in Parseltongue." Dumbledore said, snapping his fingers, and a layer of white ripples spread rapidly, "I later tried to figure out what they were talking about, what you heard next It’s all languages ​​I’ve translated.”

Ai Wen didn't speak, but was just thinking, can the extracted memory also be modified?

Even if this memory is not Dumbledore himself, it doesn't seem to be much of a problem.

The headmaster's strength is really surprising. You can see through him for yourself, but you will soon find that that is only part of it.

Just like a blind man touching an elephant, he can never tell the complete outline.

There are a lot of magic, it's not that Dumbledore doesn't know it, but he doesn't bother to use it.

In this regard, Voldemort is not as good as him, and Ivan is even worse.

In front of them, the door creaked open, and a boy stood at the door, carrying an old-fashioned oil lamp.

Tall, dark-haired, pale, and handsome, he was the boy Voldemort, Tom Riddle at the age of 15!

It's true, a life that can rely entirely on appearance, but wants to transform himself into a monster.

Voldemort's eyes moved slowly in the dirty room, and found Morfin in the armchair.

They stared at each other for a few seconds, Morfin stood up staggeringly, and many wine bottles at his feet were rattling and clinking.

"You!" he roared, "You!"

Morfin lunged drunkenly at Riddle, wand and knife aloft.

"Stop!" Riddle said in Parseltongue.

Morfin couldn't stop and bumped into the table, and the moldy and rusty pot fell to the ground.

He glared at Riddle, and they looked at each other for a long time before Morfin broke the silence first.

"You can say that kind of thing?"

"Yes, I will." Riddle walked into the room, and the door closed behind him.

Without the fear a normal person should have, his face showed disgust and maybe disappointment.

"Where's Marvolo?" he asked.

"Dead!" said the other party, with a strange voice, "It's been many years since I died, hasn't I?"

"Then who are you?" Riddle frowned.

"I'm Morfin!"

"Marvolo's son?"

"Of course..." Morfin pushed away the hair on his dirty face to get a better look at Riddle.

Although the light was dim, Ivan saw Marvolo's black gemstone ring on his right hand at a glance.

It seems that before his old father died, he still kept this heirloom.

Riddle obviously noticed this too, and his gaze moved to Morfin's right hand.

"I thought you were that Muggle!" whispered Morfin. "You look exactly like that Muggle."

"Which Muggle?" Riddle snapped.

"The Muggle my sister is infatuated with, the Muggle who lives in the big house across the way." Morfin said, unexpectedly spitting on the ground between them, "You look just like him, Riddle .But he's older now, isn't he? It's been so long, he's older than you, I remember, everything is as clear as yesterday..."

Morfin seemed a little dizzy. He swayed a bit, but threw himself against the edge of the table.

"He's back, you know." He added stupidly.
