Chapter 1447: Tired Heart (Welfare for Single Wang and Chop Meow)
"Professor, he's still a parseltongue. Harry said suddenly.
"Yes, a rare ability, supposedly associated with the Dark Arts, but we know that there is a Parseltongue among great and good wizards. In fact, my ability to converse with snakes did not disturb me very much, but what worried me was the cruel, secretive, and domineering nature that he clearly displayed. ”
Hurt other people because I can do it, and I can do it if I want to.
There is no emotional burden at all, no basic notions of right and wrong, terrible thoughts, and Riddle seems to have no feelings.
Unlike Ms. Ravenclaw's absolute intelligence, Riddle didn't know what love was, and he didn't believe in it.
He believed in only himself, and when the good thoughts in his heart were separated with the first soul fragment, he had become a monster.
In Dumbledore's words, it is the cruel, secretive, and domineering nature that dominates his character until it becomes all.
This kind of nature is more like describing dangerous beasts like snakes than describing people.
"He's not alone!" Evan blurted out the thoughts in his mind, a little clueless.
"In a way, he's not human anymore!" Dumbledore said calmly, as if he knew what Evan was trying to say, "and I'm worried that he's going further and further down this path. ”
"Is it about the magic left by Slytherin?" asked Aven, Voldemort trying to use it to become an evil god.
The way in which the evil magic records becoming an immortal being is far more than a Horcrux in itself.
With Voldemort's personality and fear of death, there was no reason why he would refuse this magic.
Immortal, transcendent, and unique, he can't resist this temptation, even if he will pay a terrible price for it.
Recent events have all proved that Voldemort is preparing this magic and collecting those materials.
Evan wanted to know what Dumbledore was thinking, and what the Order of the Phoenix had planned.
He hadn't said anything before, he hadn't told Evan about his plans, and now was a good opportunity to bring the conversation to the table.
"Voldemort's ambitions are far beyond what you and I can imagine, and you will know later. Dumbledore said ambiguously, his gaze away from Evan and at the dark sky outside, "Time is playing tricks on us again, and before we break up, I want to draw your attention to something from the scene we just witnessed." ”
Evan sighed, but Dumbledore still wouldn't say anything.
What does it mean that Voldemort's ambitions are far beyond imagination?
What information did Dumbledore get, what were his plans, what was he going to do with the more powerful Voldemort, what was he going to do with the fifteen-year-old Riddle in the ring, and what about the dense spell runes on his hands?
Unknown, unknown, unknown.
It's really tiring to work with the principal......
"First of all, I think you two must have noticed, how did Riddle react when I mentioned that someone had the same name as him, Tom?" Dumbledore continued.
"He was disgusted, he didn't like to have the same name as anyone else. ”
And so, it shows that he has a contempt for anything that binds him to others, for anything that makes him seem ordinary. Even at that time, he wanted to be different, arrogant, independent, and famous. As you know, just a few years after that conversation, he threw away his name to create a mask like Voldemort, and hibernated behind it for so long. I'm sure you've noticed that Tom Riddle was so self-confident that he was secretive, and apparently didn't have a single friend. He went to Diagon Alley on his own and did not need the help and accompaniment of others. ”
"Professor, did Riddle buy everything when he came to Hogwarts on September 1st?" Aven interjected, "I mean, did he buy any other magical items that weren't on the school's list?"
The gold Gallons that Dumbledore gave him were far from enough, and many things could only be bought second-hand.
Just like Ron did when he was in school, second-hand robes, second-hand magic books, second-hand wands, second-hand crucibles, second-hand pet rats.
It seems that except for people who are not second-hand, the rest of the things are basically ......
Evan wondered if Riddle was like that at the time.
On the surface, he was no different from other students who were sponsored by the school, which in itself was an easy thing to be sympathized with, and Riddle never rejected this disguise in his favor. But in reality, he did get his hands on a lot of magical items that helped him, and those items were worth far more than the gold gallons I gave him. Dumbledore looked at Evan and said, "Riddle is smart, he knows just as well as you how to get money for magical research. I don't know how, but that's exactly what I want to tell you, he is willing to do everything on his own, not to collaborate with people or accept help, and that's also true of Voldemort as an adult. You will hear many Death Eaters claim that they have his trust, and that only they can approach him or even understand him. Actually, they were all fooled, Voldemort never had a friend, and I don't think he ever needed a friend. ”
"Finally, I hope you don't lose sight of this because you're sleepy, young Tom Riddle loves to collect loot, and you see the box of loot he hides in his room. They were all taken from the children he had bullied, they were mementos of some particularly hateful magic tricks, and he had a penchant for collecting things like a magpie. ”
"The Ravenclaw tiara, the Slytherin locket, the Gaunt ring, the statue of the evil god......" Evan said.
"Yes, Voldemort's penchant for collecting souvenirs is important in helping us understand and defeat him, and I hope you will remember that. Dumbledore said, "Alright, it's getting late, you should go back to sleep in two months!"
The two men stood up, and Harry seemed to have something else to say, but Dumbledore just looked at them with a smile.
He waved his hand, and they just left, Harry talking a lot to Evan as they made their way to the common room.
They saw a lot of things tonight, but these were just the insignificant tip of the huge iceberg.
The more you know, the less you realize.
Don't talk about Harry, even Evan has a lot of doubts, he has to think about it......
