Chapter 1793: A New Great Journey (May the Dead Rest in Peace)
Regarding the fragment of Voldemort's soul in the Resurrection Stone, fifteen-year-old Tom Riddle, it is indeed extremely abnormal.
This is also one of the things that Evan is very concerned about, and he has a lot of questions.
From a magical point of view, that guy was a Horcrux, and to defeat Voldemort was to destroy it.
However, according to Riddle's story and observations, it is very likely that it is a special soul fragment formed by the convergence of all Voldemort's good intentions, because of some reasons that Evan did not know, it was stripped from Voldemort's main soul by a mysterious being, and it is very different from other Horcruxes, so it has to be treated with caution.
After discovering Riddle's special situation, Dumbledore did not destroy it, but stayed to study, I don't know what to find, as for what to do with the resurrection stone in the end, Evan didn't think about it, he always wanted to figure out about it.
Even if Dumbledore didn't mention it, he had to take the initiative to ask, Evan thought for a moment and asked, "Professor, Riddle in the Resurrection Stone was deliberately left behind by Helpo?"
Dumbledore shook his head, and there was a moment of silence.
"Helmo had already been sealed by Salazar Slytherin, it should not have the heart and ability to do such a thing, and the fifteen-year-old Riddle had no special meaning to it, what it needed was death to regain its strength to break free. ”
"So Riddle is ......"
"Salazar Slytherin is supposed to stay, he has a special meaning to Slytherin. We all know that the first owner of the Resurrection Stone was Cadmus Peverell, the second of the three Peverell brothers, but when the Resurrection Stone was discovered, it was already set in the Slytherin ring, which has been passed down through the generations of the Gaunt family, and it is very likely that Salazar Slytherin found it, and after you first returned to Hogwarts a thousand years ago, he left some magic in the Resurrection Stone, leaving a chance for his last descendants. ”
"If Slytherin stripped Voldemort's good intentions to form fifteen-year-old Riddle, what was his chance?"
"A chance to atone for their sins, a chance to restore the glory of House Slytherin, I guess. "There is no doubt that Salazar Slytherin valued bloodline and family honour, as has always been the tradition of Slytherin House. ”
"What does he want fifteen-year-old Riddle to do?" Evan asked.
"He probably hoped that Riddle would be able to continue on the path of death!"
"I don't understand what you mean. Evan said that what Dumbledore was saying now was incredible.
Slytherin stripped Voldemort's good thoughts and part of his soul just to make him die?!
"This is a complicated explanation, first of all, it involves the Resurrection Stone itself!" Dumbledore said, "We just guessed that, like the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone is also a weapon, and the fate of everyone who has the Resurrection Stone ends with death, because it does not bring the dead back to life, but summons back some souls who are only pessimistic...... I can only use this word to describe the dead resurrected by the Resurrection Stone, because they are neither ghosts, nor flesh-and-blood living people, nor some kind of phantom, they are some kind of strange existence that has the memories of the deceased and can give reactions, so I call them revenants, anyway, this is a very rare magic, only the Resurrection Stone can do it. ”
Indeed, as far as Evan knew, there was no other magic, including black magic, that could resurrect the dead, except for the Resurrection Stone, even if the person summoned back by the Resurrection Stone was not real, but it was still incredible.
But what does all this have to do with Slytherin leaving fifteen-year-old Riddle behind?
"The Resurrection Stone is not part of the magic system we are familiar with, it has special magical powers that can summon the souls of the dead. Dumbledore continued, "Magic doesn't come out of nowhere, it comes from the world that humans are going to when they die. ”
"A special magic from the world that humans want to go to after death......"
Aven's heart moved, this couldn't be the power of the Shadowlands that Salazar Slytherin told him before, right?
Slytherin said that the despicable Helmo created this space in order to steal the power of the Shadowlands here and make it stronger, in other words, the magic of the Resurrection Stone came from the Shadowlands!
"Professor, the world you're talking about is the Shadowlands?" asked Aven, "Slytherin mentioned it to me before. ”
"I don't know exactly what the name is there, but apparently such a place exists. For a long time, there have been many legends in the wizarding world, and many ghosts have said similar things, that they saw a whole new world when they died, and in some very old sources, you can also see a few words about that world, and people can only go there after death. Dumbledore said, "I have been speculating before, and when I studied the Deathly Hallows, I also found a lot of information, that world does exist, and the magic of the Philosopher's Stone also comes from this, and it is connected to that world, so that it can resurrect the dead, even if it is not a real resurrection, but the soul of the dead is incompletely summoned back." ”
"The Resurrection Stone has a connection to the Shadowlands. Evan paused for a moment, digesting the news he had received from Dumbledore as he connected with what he knew, "Slytherin wants fifteen-year-old Riddle to continue on the path of death, he wants Riddle to go to the Shadowlands, but why did he do this, what is there? What does this mean to him? By the way, Slytherin told me that Helmo is trying to steal power from the Shadowlands......"
"These are all speculations, after all, no wizard who has been there has ever returned. Dumbledore said calmly, "We can only guess now based on the clues we have found, and there is a good chance that it is a battlefield." ”
"Battlefield?" Evan looked at Dumbledore in surprise, his words becoming more and more shocking.
"An ancient battlefield left over from a war that lasted for thousands of years, and that war may well have led to the destruction of the last magical age, the ancient spellcasters, wizards for thousands of years, and all Muggles, all of them would go to that world after death, and they fought there, against the evil gods you saw, those extremely powerful monsters, this protracted war was beyond the imagination of the world, and the way it was carried out was different from what we are familiar with, but one thing, only the true brave can go down and start this new great journeyThis is a great honor for all the dead!"
