"I don't think you know the soul, Mr. Hart. Gellert Grindelwald said with a serious face: "I know a little bit about things at the soul level, so I know how stupid it is to split souls......"

"Can you talk more about that?" Jon asked with a frown.

"Soul and magic are not the same level of existence......," Grindelwald said slowly: "Magic is a part of the material world, and in most cases, it can only affect the material world, of course, some high-end magic can invade the spiritual world by affecting the brain, but this kind of magic is extremely complex and dangerous......

"Like the Oblivion Charm and the Dementoring Charm?" Jon asked softly.

"That's right...... There are very few spells that can affect the spirit world, and it is extremely difficult to use. We prophesied that Magus had an innate and incomparable talent for spells at the spiritual level, and this is one of the reasons why I think Magus Prophet is the spokesman of the will of the world......"

"And what about the soul, which is also part of the spiritual world?"

"No, the soul is higher than the spiritual world, and at the same time higher than the material world...... Therefore, for the higher level of the spirit world, magic is actually powerless against it, and magic cannot affect ......"

Jon couldn't help but interrupt him, "However, I've heard that some spells can affect souls, such as the Killing Charm, which works by destroying souls......"

"Nonsense!" Grindelwald suddenly sat up from the bed, "Who told you that?"

"Uh......" Jon replied after a moment's deliberation, "the ...... named Tom Riddle"

"Then he's an idiot!" Grindelwald rolled his eyes disdainfully: "The essence of the killing curse is to deprive the other party of their life force and force the other party to die, and it has nothing to do with the soul level!"

"The biggest evidence is that the killing curse can't kill the phoenix, you must know that the phoenix has a soul, and the source of the phoenix's power is at the soul level. And when the Killing Curse hits the Phoenix, the Phoenix's body will be completely destroyed in a very short time...... But the magical power of the phoenix will make them reborn in the fire. Grindelwald frowned as he spoke, as if he had some bad memories in mind.

"Well, sorry...... I see!" Jon nodded hurriedly.

"The Killing Curse does affect souls, but indirectly...... Because the principle of the Killing Curse is that the law kills, and with the death of a living being, unless you choose to become a ghost, your soul will quickly dissipate......"

"That's why Horcruxes can prevent death?" Jon asked in a whisper.

"That's right...... Even if a sorcerer's body is destroyed, attacked, or destroyed, there is still a part of the soul that remains undamaged in the world, so it can survive in the world. As long as the Horcrux is intact, the remaining soul fragments will not be harmed, but even ghosts are inferior to the physical body when they are destroyed, and once the Horcrux is destroyed, the remaining soul fragments will be destroyed immediately. ”

Jon nodded thoughtfully.

......

"Magic cannot act directly on the soul, but it can indirectly act as a medium for the soul. Grindelwald paused, then suddenly spoke:

"For example, Dumbledore's favorite 'Loyalty Charm' works by hiding secrets in the soul, and since magic can't work on the soul, this damn spell is completely unbreakable...... I suffered a lot from it. ”

"There's also the method of soul splitting during the Horcrux crafting process...... The essence of this is to tear apart one's own soul by killing a wizard and then using a spell to provoke a brief outrage in his soul after the death of the other...... Honestly, it should have been a very painful process. ”

"yes. Jon nodded thoughtfully, and he suddenly remembered that a certain great dark wizard had endured such pain as many as seven times, and this spirit of hard work was really worth emulating.

"Wait......" Jon's eyes lit up suddenly, "That's why you said there was a way...... Tearing souls apart with the help of souls?"

"Yes, you can't hurt souls on the magic level, but you can be a medium to influence souls and hurt souls. Grindelwald said with a solemn face: "This should be the only way, but it is also the most unlikely way." ”

"yes!" Jon couldn't help but sigh.

"When a wizard is killed, his soul becomes weak and decays at an extremely rapid rate, and there is no comparison to a blood curse soul that has been incubated for fifteen years...... Therefore, the soul of this dead wizard cannot cause much damage to the soul of the blood curse, and even if it is absolutely successful, at most it can only delay the onset of the blood curse for a period of time. Grindelwald continued:

"So I say it's a very unlikely approach...... What's more, it's just as unrealistic to count on the other party's soul to help you deal with the blood curse soul after you have killed the other party's wizard...... If the soul of a dead wizard chooses to tear apart the normal soul instead of attacking the blood curse soul for you, it will further cause the blood curse to attack more quickly, which will be counterproductive. ”

"Okay, thank you!" Jon nodded solemnly, and climbed up from the floor.

A bleak smile appeared on his face: "At least it's not hopeless, is it!"

"yes!" Grindelwald nodded, giving Jon a sympathetic look.

......

It was already dark.

The thin moonlight shone through the narrow gaps in the walls of the black stone blocks and into the lonely cell.

"In the past 50 years combined, I probably don't have as much as I say in a day today. Gellert Grindelwald sighed.

"If you're willing, I'll be with you more often. Jon replied.

"Maybe I won't have that chance...... Maybe the next time you come over, you'll be here to prepare for my funeral!" the old wizard smiled a little sadly, "If I die, bury me in ...... Bury me in ......"

“...... Bury me in Braunau, Austria, where I live!"

"Okay, I got it!"

"Where are you going now, Hogwarts?" the old wizard finally asked.

"No......" Jon shook his head, "I need to go to Albania." ”

"Albanian ......" Grindelwald lay back on the stone bed: "Good luck...... If I'm not mistaken, it was a cursed nation. ”
