About the recent few updates,Unstable dΓ¬ng situation,That's the case,I'm now working as an editor on a lottery website,Because this site has just been established,There are relatively few people,I have to be responsible for many things,So I basically can't spare time,Please understand。

Dumbledore had apparently forgotten that it was late at night, and he hurried out from behind his desk, took the vial containing the memories from Harry, and strode over to the cabinet with the meditation basin.

"Now," Dumbledore put the stone basin on the table and poured the contents of the bottle into it, "now, we're finally about to see the truth." Harry, ...... quickly."

Harry obediently leaned over the meditation basin and felt his feet off the ground...... He fell again in the darkness.

It was a palatial room, and a young Slughorn with thick, shiny grass-yellow hair and a ginger mustache sat in a comfortable winged armchair, his feet resting on large velvet cushions, a small glass of wine in one hand, and a box of pineapple compote in the other.

"Richard, you're such a great place, don't you really want to transfer it to me?" Slughorn said solemnly.

"Don't even think about it, Horace." There was a hint of weariness in Richard's voice, "This is the Silver family's permanent property. ”

Slughorn looked a little disappointed, "Okay, okay, you always say that. ”

"What do you want to teach that little genius?" Slughorn gestured to Riddle, who was standing respectfully, "And you called me here?" Do you need a notary? ”

"Because I need your ingenuity, Horace." Richard coughed, "Alright, Tom, don't pretend to be a good child, Horace likes you." But you won't be deceived by your acting skills, you underestimate your teacher too much. ”

Riddle remained silent.

"Alright, alright." Professor Slughorn exclaimed, exaggeratedly, "How can you, a Gryffindor of the Silver family, understand us Slytherins?" ”

"Tom is no ordinary child, Horace." Richard said, "Tom, you're not too young, although wizards don't reach adulthood until they're seventeen years old, but it seems to me that you've reached a level far beyond the average adult wizard in all respects. So I'd like to ask for your opinion – do you want to live independently? ”

Riddle looked dazed, "I'm sorry, what does this mean by living independently." ”

"I mean, you can be an adult."

"Hey, Richard, that's not the same as saying yes." Slughorn almost jumped, "Are you going to get rid of Tom?" ”

"Chase away? I wouldn't have kicked Tom away if he wanted to stay, but I could see in his eyes the desire for freedom and the outside world. So I'm going to give him that chance. Richard stared into Riddle's eyes, "Tom, I'm going to give you a gift, one very precious. A gift that will last you a lifetime. ”

"Let me guess, is it a large sum of gold gallons or some magic item?" Slughorn looked intrigued.

"For wizards, there is nothing more precious than those magical secret methods, and what I want to hand over to you is a secret method. The secret law of eternal life. Richard ignored Slughorn.

Harry noticed that Riddle had a wit at the word "eternal life". I was struck by the word.

"Eternal life?" Slughorn repeated, "Old friend, are you crazy? Eternal life? Are you going to teach Tom how to make Philosopher's Stones? I don't think I'm like Nicol. What's so good about living like Lemay. ”

"Relying on the Philosopher's Stone to prolong your life is not eternal life." Richard said, "This secret method is a real forbidden area involving the transition between life and death, and if you study it thoroughly, immortality is not just a fantasy, Tom, I remember you asked me about Horcruxes a year ago?" ”

"Well, it was a Defence Against the Dark Arts topic at school, and I wanted to do some more in-depth research...... Riddle explained.

"There's no need to hide it, Riddle, there's nothing wrong with pursuing immortality." Richard said, "Many great wizards throughout history have ventured into this field, and neither Horace nor I care about your curiosity about it - we're not Dumbledore. At the time, I didn't answer you because I didn't think you were good enough to get involved in this field, but now, I think you're qualified enough. It just so happens that this secret method also involves Horcruxes, so I'll talk about it briefly. ”

"As the name suggests, a Horcrux is an object that holds part of a person's soul."

"But I don't quite understand what it is, sir." Riddle said.

His voice was carefully controlled, but Harry could feel his excitement.

"That is, you split your soul," said Richard, "and hide a part of it in some object outside your body." In this way, even if your body is attacked or destroyed, you will not be able to die, because there is still a part of your soul left unharmed. But, of course, in this form, it is not as good as a ghost. ”

"Isn't there a way to restore the flesh?" Riddle said.

"Absolutely." Richard glanced at Riddle meaningfully, "But this is not something that even a ghostly soul can do, and it requires the help and cooperation of others. And Horcruxes are not infallible - there have been many dark wizards in history who felt that they had no worries after making Horcruxes, but were killed lightly by others, because the Horcruxes themselves are easily destroyed. ”

"So ...... this secret method?"

"This secret method allows a person to divide multiple souls, even without murder - you can make these souls into multiple Horcruxes and hide them in very secret places. That way, you can sit back and relax......" (To be continued......
