"And," Darren continued, "have you ever wondered why there is Voldemort?"

"Why is there Voldemort?" Penelope didn't understand. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Why is there a demon like Voldemort?"

"Oh, according to what I heard before, when Voldemort was in the orphanage, because he had magical powers, he was feared and disgusted by the people in the orphanage and misunderstood and alienated, which led to a somewhat extreme personality, and then he went to Hogwarts, saw the magic of magic, and hoped to one day become the 'greatest wizard in the world', and after graduating from school, in order to pursue greater power, further study the dark arts, until he finally became the 'Dark Lord'. ”

"Well," Darren nodded, "Actually, when he was at Hogwarts, Voldemort had already decided to change his name from Tom Marvolo Riddle to 'Voldemort', and the code name was just written backwards, no wonder this guy's transfiguration level is average and lacks imagination." ”

"In addition, Voldemort knew about his background when he was at Hogwarts, and since then, a group of followers have gathered around him, and some of them later joined the Death Eaters, and considering their assertion, 'Magical pure-blood, pure-blood wizards should be enslaved because of their status and power over the Mudbloods and Muggles', so the core idea of Voldemort should have been formed from that time. ”

"But that didn't stop Voldemort that year, because of his excellent grades and outstanding performance, he was elected prefect in the fifth grade, and became the president of the boys' student council in the seventh grade.

"You, how do you know that?" asked Penelope, surprised.

"Just knowing that Voldemort is Tom Riddle, it's easy to find out what he's doing at school, and there are so many commendations and records, plus records of the Death Eaters' activities. ”

"The human mind does not grow out of the ground, and the same goes for Voldemort's 'pure-blood', not to mention, he is a half-blood wizard himself, and it is this contradiction between perception and reality that makes him choose to give up his name, because it represents half of his ordinary blood. ”

"So, Voldemort is just one of the many seeds that have grown up in Hogwarts, or at least Slytherin, the land of 'purebloods', but this one has grown so strong and tall that everyone has not expected it. ”

Darren turned to look at Penelope, "Didn't you hear the word 'mudblood' when you were in school?"

“……”

"And Hogwarts is just a microcosm of the wizarding world, what those teenage children know, not all the ideas they get from their own adults, from this point of view, it is the entire wizarding world that really gave birth to Voldemort. ”

"Are you going to?" said Penelope, hesitantly.

"One thing I've always wondered," Darren didn't respond to Penelope's words, holding his chin, "that's why Voldemort made Horcruxes. ”

"Horcruxes, wouldn't that keep him from dying when his body was attacked or destroyed? ”

"However, considering the name 'Death Eater' and some of the words that Voldemort said, what he was looking for was not 'so that his body would not die when it was attacked or destroyed', but the effect of 'eternal youth' or 'immortality', and the 'Horcrux' would ensure that his soul would not be destroyed, but it was just an added benefit. ”

"Is there any difference between 'immortal soul' and 'immortality'?"

Darren looked at Penelope, "Even if you're a high-achieving student known as Ravenclaw, you don't know everything." ”

"Of course," Penelope said with a puff, "or you will sign me an oath." ”

“…… Have you heard the story of 'Titonos'? Okay, let me tell you, he is a character in Greek legend, the son of the Trojan king Omendon, because he is handsome and dashing, he was favored by the goddess of dawn, Eos, but because of the huge difference in life between humans and gods, Eos asked Zeus to make Titonos immortal, which can also be regarded as 'soul immortal', after pleading, Zeus granted her wish, but warned her that this was the last request. Afterwards, the elated Eos was content to live with Titonos. ”

"It's wonderful. ”

"After listening to me, after Eos and Titonos lived together for a while, they found that as the years went by, Titonos's age also increased, and gradually aged, and the goddess of dawn found that she only asked Zeus to make Titonus immortal, but not immortal, so Titonos will still age with time, but, because Zeus has warned that this is the last request, so she has no choice but to watch Titonos gradually shrink into a little old man, shriveled and ugly, weak as a baby, until he becomes as small as an insect, and his body is weakened Titonos is in pain, but because of immortality, they can't get rid of it, and can only moan constantly, which is said to be the origin of crickets. ”

"Now, you know the difference between 'immortality' and 'immortality'. ”

"However, Voldemort later reshaped his body, so that if he could change his body constantly, there would be no problem of aging. ”

"Well, it seems, that's what it looks like, but," Darren asked, "why then we haven't heard of any wizard other than Voldemort who has attained immortality in this way?"

"Because, because this method is so evil?" Penelope guessed.

Darren laughed, "It's naturally too extreme to be like Voldemort, but killing a person and splitting your own soul can get eternal life, this deal doesn't look bad, don't tell me that wizards can resist this temptation, in fact, I've already killed several people, looking at it this way, it's not difficult to make a Horcrux, then before me, there must have been a large number of dark wizards who have also killed people, and it is not difficult to meet this condition." ”

"They, they don't know how to make Horcruxes?"

"When Voldemort was in school at Hogwarts, he could find "Cutting-edge Dark Arts Decryption" in the library, and it seems that he didn't pay much attention to this book at that time, and Professor Slughorn also knew very well about Horcruxes, and he could also guide Voldemort, but later Dumbledore hid that book, so that people couldn't figure out what Voldemort's Horcruxes were all about. ”
