The only thing that struck Ivan as a little strange was how Pettigrew learned this deep black magic.

Pettigrew's wizarding family is ordinary, and they don't know the secrets of Horcruxes, obviously not through this book "Cutting-edge Black Magic Decryption".

It is most likely that Voldemort rewarded Peter Pettigrew for his exploits.

Because at the end of the first year, when Voldemort possessed Chino, he also used similar means to increase his combat power, and Ivan remembers this vividly.

However, Ivan is not very interested in this powerful black magic, relying on self-harm to gain power, undoubtedly pushing himself into the abyss step by step.

So after just a few glances and an idea, Ivan began to look through the other contents.

"Cutting-edge Black Magic Decryption" records a lot of black magic, and there are also a lot of practical ones.

For example, there is some kind of contract magic in it that can connect the lives of two people and divide the magic equally, but the conditions for achieving it are too harsh, and if one of them dies, the other must also die...

Even the legendary Three Unforgivable Spells are well documented in it.

Although Ivan was a little worried that the study of this kind of black magic would affect his mind, he finally wrote down how to use them one by one.

After all, these are very practical magics, and powerful wizards will basically do...

Flipping through the pages as he recorded, Ivan quickly found the pages of the Horcruxes.

The authors of the book fanatically describe the Horcrux as the mystery of immortality, the bridge to eternal life...

Ivan scoffed at this, although the number of dark wizards who have made Horcruxes from ancient times to the present is scarce, but after all, it is not nothing, there are several well-known dark wizards recorded in books, and I have never heard of any of them who have survived to the present.

Of course, this is not to say that Horcruxes are useless, just look at Voldemort, who looks like Xiaoqiang after making Horcruxes, it is still good to use it to save his life, and it is one of the few means to avoid death.

It's a bit like the lich's life box in myths and legends, but it's much weaker than that, because when you die, you can only wander the world like a ghost...

At the same time, "Cutting-edge Black Magic Decryption" also records in detail how to make Horcruxes, as well as the corresponding spells.

One of the most crucial steps is to split the soul, which requires the murder of other people, and the process of splitting the soul is extremely painful and unbearable.

Once successful, a part of the separated soul needs to be sealed in an item, any item, even a stone, as long as it is crafted into a Horcrux, this thing will become the most evil dark magic item in the world.

The power of the soul of an ordinary wizard is limited, and splitting once is already the limit, and as for what happens if it splits multiple times, there is no clear record in the book.

But come to think of it, what fool would split his soul six or seven times like Voldemort, and it is enough to make a Horcrux hidden tightly to save his life!

Even if you don't think it's safe, you can make two at most, because splitting souls can be very painful according to the above description...

Or is Voldemort psychopathic, in fact, enjoying this feeling of splitting the soul very much, and he is addicted to tearing and tearing?

Ivan didn't think much of it was unlikely, and flipped the book to the next page, caught by another spell written on it.

"Flame Curse?" Ivan was surprised, this was the dark magic he had always wanted to learn.

If it weren't for the fact that there weren't many books on the dark arts that recorded the Flame Spell, and Althea wouldn't teach herself, she wouldn't have delayed until now.

After glancing at the introduction of the Fire Charm, Ivan immediately understood Althea's concerns, because this was a very special and powerful kind of black magic.

There is no need for a spell to unleash it, but it needs to rise up to destroy the emotions that destroy everything, and release the desire for destruction within you, turning it into a substantial flame that consumes everything around you!

What frightened Ivan the most was that the fire would continue to grow itself, using everything that could be burned as nourishment, and constantly expanding until there was nothing left to burn!

And it cannot be extinguished by ordinary means, and once it gets out of control, the consequences are unimaginable.

Seeing this, Ivan couldn't help but think of Malfoy's henchman Crabbe in the original time and space, who actually dared to release a fierce fire spell in the storage room of the Room of Requirement.

Now that I think about it, this is also a talent, you must know that there is a whole room of magical items used as fuel, and it would be hellish if Crabbe's strength could control the fire!

Just as Ivan was recording the dark magic one by one, Harry, who was looking for books on the other side of the shelf, noticed Ivan's abnormality.

"Ivan, did you find anything? I see you've been holding this book for a long time...", Harry asked, curious.

Ivan heard Harry's voice, and then he came back to his senses from his drunken study, and he turned a few pages with an unchanging face, turning back to the page where the Horcruxes were recorded, and then he spoke.

"Yes, that's right! I've found the secret that Regulus told me! ”

The sound of Ivan and Harry's conversation echoed in the closed library, and Sirius and Lupin, who were not far away, heard it and quickly rushed over together.

"Ivan, what did you mean by finding that secret?" Sirius hurriedly asked.

Ivan didn't explain, but handed over the open "Cutting-edge Black Arts Decryption".

Sirius reached out and took a closer look, and Harry and Lupin leaned over curiously.

The more they looked at the people, the more frightened they became, and after reading all the introductions about the Horcruxes, Sirius and the others felt a chill in their backs.

"So that locket is Voldemort's Horcrux!" Lupin let out a slow breath, it was the first time he had known of such evil magic.

"No wonder Voldemort only lost his strength after that night, and didn't die completely!" Sirius was shocked and excited.

Because they have finally cracked the mystery of Voldemort's immortality!

"Regulus was willing to sacrifice himself, probably in order to destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes, so that Voldemort could die completely when he was defeated one day..."Harry said with emotion, thinking about what Kreacher had said earlier.

"Obviously, he realized that he was with the wrong person and wanted to make up for it, so he made this choice..."Lupin also sighed, and then turned to Sirius and said appreciatively.

"But your brother is really amazing, he has successfully deceived the Dark Lord, so that the Dark Lord mistakenly thinks that he is very loyal, so he will ask him for a house-elf!"
