After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to put a Horcrux out to play NC's Snake Face V to act as the final boss

Of course, the reason is set to be absolutely round, so don't worry.

The third year is a turning point, and all the changes will be more detailed in this year than the previous volumes......

PS: The twisted feelings of snakes are really difficult to write, and Riddle's psychological journey has only been truly transformed from the second volume to the present, from the original exclusivity and plunder, to the current cherished love that is closer to warmth, which is really troublesome OTZ

=================================================

Wand 9 (Reverse): Hidden key cause and effect.

、？？？ ・The secret land of the lake

、

It had been about twenty days or so since he returned to the secret realm of the lake, which could be described as "familiar", almost twenty days after he entered the location of the saint.

Although it was about five or six days later than expected, Riddle was in a good mood at the moment.

Gellert's gift to him, after he had painstakingly removed the thick troll skin, was unexpectedly brilliant - so wonderful that Riddle felt that the effort was well worth it.

But after thinking about and recalling the war-torn years in his mind, Riddle couldn't help but think, maybe maybe the simplest and purest reason actually represents the original intention and original intention of the original "Saints"?

No wonder Gellert said something to him at the time of the handover""

If it was in the past, he might indeed be disappointed.

But not now. What Gellert handed him over was exactly what he needed right now.

And he is also so confident that he will not repeat the past failures.

The Saints were originally founded in search of the Deathly Hallows in order to resurrect a mad girl who had been turned into a Squib due to a magical riot.

In the end, it evolved into a Muggle multinational war that involved most of the region, and even affected the wizarding world of various countries, and indirectly led to the birth of the second generation of the Dark Lord.

Then he couldn't help but sneer.

Hasn't humanity always been like this?

No matter how good the original intention is, in the end, it will eventually be distorted and degenerated by human nature over a long period of time, and become a deep darkness that swallows everything.

This is the final conclusion he came to with reference to the principles of the Holy Grail War on the Far Eastern Island and the development since then.

The Holy Grail, which was originally born with the desire to "rid the world of all evils", has evolved into a place of birth for "all evils in the world" after only 200 years of development.

What a ridiculous ending.

At present, things have been arranged in Germany, although the final result of the black-and-white wizard battle was that the first generation of the Dark Lord was trapped in prison, but the most loyal to him of the Twelve Saints and his descendants are hidden in the German wizarding world, and now as long as the summoning is issued after receiving the complete inheritance, the huge machinery belonging to the "Saints" organization will start to operate precisely.

Ten days to accept all twelve saints, five days to receive all the inheritance, the remaining five days he has issued the corresponding orders and future course of action, the next thing to do is to wait for the results.

Change in the wizarding world is slow.

And he has been through so much, and the last thing he lacks is patience.

"Coming back?"

Apparently, Riddle's good mood didn't last until he entered the room, though—he had just returned to the tree of life through the teleportation circle when he was stopped by a witch who seemed to be waiting for the rabbit.

Of course, Riddle wouldn't admit that he was the "rabbit", even if he could be called a "rabbit eye" when he had red eyes.

"Something?"

Raised an eyebrow.

"Opal has only given you half a month's leave, and you should make up for the extra five days of work as soon as possible - although your girl has already done most of it for you."

It seemed that she finally had self-awareness of her own suspicions, and Vivien didn't touch Riddle's nerves too much, but gave advice with a rare and serious look, "Pay attention to the trouble you inadvertently caused, the wizarding world in England is one of the bases of the arcane world. Don't really think that Gellert didn't attack the British wizarding world in the first place because of Dumbledore's connections. If there is really any more chaos, I'm afraid even I won't be able to suppress the rebound of the law of cause and effect. ”

"Which powers again?"

Riddle was stunned for a moment before remembering that all the scattered powers back then were recovered by the witch in front of him and used as the maintenance energy of the secret realm of the lake, and the part scattered in the country was indeed lost although he either did it himself or recycled some of it through his silent girl.

Speaking of which, it seems like it's been a long, long time since I've pursued that so-called "power", maybe because of the documents that are enough to crush the giant, maybe for some other reason, but......

After all, something has changed.

The present self, and the past self.

"More than that."

Vivien sighed, "I said Riddle, don't you doubt what you did years ago?" ”

"You mean the Duke of Darkness before he was defeated by the Savior for the first time?"

After a pause, Riddle finally confirmed what the person in front of him was referring to after careful recollection - but Riddle himself felt strange, obviously the interval between the two years was not even 20 years, but that memory felt extremely distant to him.

If there's anything that doesn't feel right in retrospect, it's probably that he actually gave Lucius the Dark Devil mark, and in the later stages, he used the Heart Drill Charm more and more often to punish him, and his temperament became very different from the past, and he even believed in the obviously problematic "prophecy" and pursued it to the end......

"Or else?"

Vivien had a smiling expression on her face, "What do you think?" ”

"What is the reason? While it is true that dark magic can erode the human mind, I've been studying it for so long - I don't think it's just that level of darkness that affects my normal mind. ”

I always felt that Vivien had pointed something to her, but although Riddle was confused by the memory of herself, she didn't think it was her fault.

"An incomplete soul is always accompanied by madness."

Vivien, as if she knew Riddle would say that, sighed, "And this madness will gradually manifest itself over time." ”

"Do you mean Horcruxes?"

Riddle gave a look of contempt, "Although I know how to make Horcruxes, and although I seek eternal life, I ...... I didn't make that thing. ”

He's not just a hairy kid who doesn't care about anything just for the sake of power. Not to mention......

[The soul is the most mysterious thing in the world, and only with a complete soul can we have all the possibilities of the future. 】

He couldn't remember who had told him about it, but he had always taken that obvious piece of advice to heart.

"Yes, you've just extracted and sealed your memories completely."

Vivien naturally answered Riddle's words.

"Seal...... Memory? ”

Raising an eyebrow, Riddle remembered the purple crystal with memories that her own Silent Girl had given her some time ago. But then he scoffed at it, "Since they have decided to give it up, it means that those memories don't matter." ”

"You can't be too iron-toothed."

Vivien didn't know what was going on in her mind, and showed a smile that seemed very unrepaired to Riddle, "Yes, you used a magic circle that you haven't fully mastered, completely extracted your memories, and sealed them on five objects at once. ”

Riddle's brow furrowed, "You mean there's a problem with the magic array I'm using?" ”

"Extracting memories from fixed objects and blurring other related memories to completely rationalize blank fragments."

Vivien's purple eyes looked at Riddle, and then raised an eyebrow, "But these extracted memories can only be transferred, like transferring water from one container to another, but more clean and thorough." ”

“……”

Riddle thought of the very subtle voids in his memory, so he just frowned and thought about it, and then spoke in Vivien's tone, "You're not going to say that I tore my soul apart while sealing those memories, right?" Those are just memories, and the carriers of memories are not souls! It's impossible to ......."

It couldn't be that he made a mistake when using this simple magic array, so much so that he tore his soul apart, right?

That would be an absolute shame for him.

"Well, you were only 16 years old at the time, and there is no shame in making mistakes."

However, it is obvious that Vivian is sincere in not letting him feel better and directly dismantling the stage, "Speaking of which, with the total amount of magic power you had at that time, you still had control, and you were not directly torn apart by the magic storm caused by the lack of magic array, but you survived and increased your strength due to a blessing in disguise...... Quite lucky, indeed. ”

At such a mention, Riddle finally found the corresponding fragment from his memory.

He remembered that at that time, he had found out his origins and carried out the first planned murder, and then, he had used the ancient magic circle he had seen in the books to perform a sacrificial ritual in exchange for enough pure dark attribute power - and if I remember correctly, his eyes seemed to have turned completely red after that.

He said that it was just a simple way to extract and seal the memory, why would he use the magic array, and he failed to listen to the tone of the witch in front of him......

Speaking of which, what were the five items he used in the first place?

It was the first journal he bought when he entered Hogwarts, a Slytherin locket, a Ravenclaw tiara, a Hufflepuff gold cup, and a Gunt family heir ring.

Both the diary and the crown had been destroyed by his silent girl, and the power gathered on them had also been purified and returned directly to herself. So what are the remaining three things...... Sure enough, I still have to take the time to go back to deal with it, but I don't know if the old Gryffindor bee of the mutant has noticed this.

After all, he was quite wary of himself back then, and now that he thinks about it, the book about Horcruxes, and the vague guidance of Horace E.F. Slughorn, the professor of Potions at the time, may also be boring.

Uh, wait, no!

"You should be able to solve the problem easily, right?"

Looking at Vivien, the corners of Riddle's mouth couldn't help but twitch, "When I'm not doing enough?" ”

Although he may have absorbed some of the power he scattered back then, it was a crippled soul after all, and he didn't believe that Vivien would not be able to deal with it.

"Of course, you have to clean up the mess you caused yourself, and my appearance fee is very high."

Raising her delicate chin, Vivien's tone was full of aristocratic arrogance and a hint of banter, "Anyway, now your family's Opal ability has grown very well, and the property I gave her can now be fully used, if you are really too busy to get out, let Opal come forward to help you." I remember she's in her third year now, and she can compete for the head of the house. ”

"She's going to be the head of the academy naturally, but not now."

Riddle had never doubted the strength of his Silent Girl, but he thought of something else, "But wait a minute. If my soul began to slowly change my temper when I was 16 years old, then why can I ...... now? Back to normal? ”

"Do you think homologous magic is common?"

Vivien sneered softly, "You can return to normal thanks to Opal, as the son of Gaia, she has been using her soul to repair your soul through the transmission of homologous magic. Don't you notice that you're always in a calm mood when you're around Opal? Although it is partly due to her temperament as a son of Gaia, but more because you feel the perfection of your soul that makes it so calm. ”

“……”

Riddle pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Because in fact, as long as he seriously recalled, he could naturally be sure that what Vivien said was not a lie.

I don't know when - maybe it was from the first time we met, but he always had a real, peace of mind around his silent girl.

However, it would be absolutely impossible for him to admit that this peace comes only from the wholeness of the soul.

It's supposed to be ......

What should it be?

The blue eyes flashed, and finally in Vivien's teasing gaze, they turned into the same restrained and calm as before.

What it should be, those are in fact not important.

Whether it was because of the inherited qualities of the Son of Gaia, or because his soul was completed by his Silent Girl, he was sure of only one thing - he could be settled around his Silent Girl, and there would never be a second being in this world who could give him this special feeling.

Those who belong to him alone, who only care about him, who only have his existence in their hearts, who wholeheartedly regard him as their first priority......

His silent girl.

As for the rest, what is there to care about?

He wants the silent girl who belongs to him, even if she loses her inheritance and becomes a Squib in the end. Because......

All he wants is her!

His world, his thoughts, his soul, his emotions, after the precipitation of time, are the only and special beings.

"What comes to mind?"

Someone asked knowingly.

"So, you're blocking me here just to say something?"

Raising an eyebrow, Riddle gave a very Slytherin smirk, "I'm sorry about that, I still have a lot of work to attend to, and I don't have that spare time to waste your time here." ”

"Whatever you want."

It seemed clear that if she continued to tease, a certain snake would start to blow up its scales as usual, so Vivien just shrugged her shoulders and got out of the way, "Speaking of which, I just received the news that Opal caused a magic riot due to the overuse of the Patronus Charm, don't you feel it?" ”

"Click!"

With a heavy footstep, Riddle turned to look sideways at Vivien, a deep storm already brewing in her azure eyes, "What's going on?" ”

"Isn't the Patronus Charm used to deal with Dementors in addition to communication?"

Spreading her hands and looking innocent, Vivien turned her back to Riddle and seemed to be talking to herself, "But communication alone isn't likely to cause a magical riot, is it?" ”

“…… What the hell do you ...... "What the hell is going on!"

The pupils in the blue eyes have begun to change to vertical pupils due to mood fluctuations.

"There's a surveillance record there."

With that, Vivien walked away.

Look, she's been reminded of this, Riddle, you're an uneasy EQ idiot, if she doesn't act again, she's going to change Opal's memories to make her empathetic!

“……”

After the whole person froze there for a long time, Riddle slowly loosened his clenched fist, pursed the corners of his lips, and turned to walk in the other direction.

He remembered that his silent girl had been in the medical wing for being mischievoked in her first school year, and he had clearly sensed it.

But why did his silent girl have such a big thing as a magic riot this time, and he didn't even have any sense!

Damn no!
