Chapter 293: Double Agent
"Of course, Mister Rogers."
"Let's go back first!"
There is no doubt that no matter how impressive Louie's growth rate, he is an underage wizard.
Therefore, in the face of Dumbledore's invitation, Louis replied that he would go back to ask his parents for advice, and there was nothing wrong with it, so Dumbledore naturally nodded with a smile on his face.
Later.
Still with the help of Fawkes's special abilities.
Louis and his party returned to the castle of the Smith family in a blink of an eye.
It's just that when he returned to the periphery of the Smith family's castle with a fiery red beam, Louis used the three turns of magic quietly attached to Fawkes's body, and then saw that Fawkes was instructed by Dumbledore to go to Gringotts in Diagon Alley to deliver a message first, and it seemed that Dumbledore was not ready to sneak into Gringotts' vault secretly.
And Dumbledore's wave of operations undoubtedly made Louis have to sigh in his heart:
"Maybe that's what fame does!"
After all, Gringotts' vaults weren't just a matter of a wizard sending a message and getting the goblins to go in and take a tour.
Like Cornelius Fudge, the current Minister of Magic of the United Kingdom, is it useful for him to communicate with the goblins at Gringotts?
It's useless!
Even, even Lucius Malfoy, who is currently in charge of the power of Tumbledown Alley, has no face in the eyes of those Gringotts goblins, and they will sell Dumbledore a few more thin noodles at most.
Soon, when asking Jason and Sophia for their opinions, Dumbledore received positive answers from the two, and instead of borrowing Fawkes's abilities to go to Diagon Alley, he borrowed the Smith family's fireplace and prepared to use Floo powder to teleport straight there.
However, at the moment when Louis obeyed Dumbledore's orders, sprinkled Floo powder in front of the fireplace, and called out the name of Diagon Alley.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, when he found himself in Diagon Alley, he received a summons from the distillery marker, Louis quietly glanced at Snape beside him, and said to himself:
"With Dumbledore's eyelids down, is it okay to communicate in a private chat face-to-face?"
However, knowing that Snape's summons had to be replied to at this point, Louis instead asked as the basilisk doppelganger Grindelwald:
"Belmode, do you have something important to follow me?"
"Yes, master."
Although Snape was very aware of the possibility of being seen through in front of Dumbledore's blatant private message, he obviously didn't care much about this, and silently sent a message:
"I just got a shocking piece of news from Dumbledore, master, and that's.... There's a good chance that the mysterious man was still alive! ”
"Heh... Tom? ”
Unlike most wizards in the wizarding world, who were full of fear of Voldemort even in words, Louis seemed extremely calm when he replied to Snape's summons, and only asked lightly:
"I've known about Tom's life for a long time, so.... Any questions? ”
Really....
He knows a lot about the Dark Lord!
Looking at the summons that Louis replied to, Snape couldn't help but purse his lips and said in confusion: "Master, I just don't understand, that immortal boy clearly defeated that person back then, how did that person survive until now?" ”
"It's normal that you don't understand."
Louie replied, "If I hadn't known anything about Harry Potter, I would have thought that Tom was dead, and I couldn't have imagined him surviving in such a humble way." ”
"Humble way.... Master, what do you mean? ”
"Horcruxes."
"Soul.... Horcruxes? ”
"Yes, Belmode, it's a Horcrux."
Louis patiently said to Snape: "The method of making Horcruxes is not difficult, simple and not simple, any wizard can consult the magic information about making Horcruxes. For example, if you are willing to look up materials in the forbidden section of the Hogwarts Library, you can easily obtain a way to make Horcruxes. ”
"Tom was one of the best students at Hogwarts, and I think he, who admires power, must be a regular visitor to the forbidden book section?"
"However, the real difficulty in crafting a Horcrux is that you must first master the method of splitting souls. I remember the last time I met Tom, I found that his soul was badly wounded, so I deduced Tom's humble way of surviving, and concluded that he had made at least five, or more, Horcruxes! ”
"Five...."
There was a bit of thoughtfulness in his eyes, and Snape was silent for a moment, not grabbing Voldemort's method of using immortality to ask, and hurriedly changed the subject:
"Master, according to the information provided by Dumbledore, one of the Horcruxes is hidden in Gringotts, do you have any instructions for this?"
"No Sakura"
"No.... No? ”
"Uh-huh, Belmode, I'm not interested in Tom."
Louis said disdainfully: "From the time Tom was afraid of death and split his soul to make Horcruxes, he was destined to be a weak person in my eyes, even inferior to someone who used the Philosopher's Stone to survive. A truly powerful wizard should never be afraid of death, but must possess the ability to overcome it. ”
"It's like my teacher...."
"He's the only wizard in the wizarding world today who has defeated death!"
Teacher....
Remembering that the identity that Louis used to disguise himself was a descendant of Grindelwald, Snape's eyes lit up slightly, and it happened that when the group came to Gringotts, he ended the secret message using the distillery mark, and then he actually ate it in front of Louis, turned his head to Dumbledore and said:
"Dumbledore, I just got some shocking news, would you like to hear about it?"
Louis: "...."
Double agent.
True Six!
However, no matter how complicated Louis's feelings were when he saw Snape engaged in double agent activities in front of him and Dumbledore, Dumbledore had long been accustomed to Snape's multiple identities, and skillfully manipulated magic to eliminate the possibility of eavesdropping on others, and asked with a smile: "Severus, what is the news you have obtained?" ”
"Hmm...."
After a little bit of wording, Snape took a deep breath and said, "There are at least five Horcruxes that have been made for the purpose of immortality, or more than five. Moreover, your old friend may have also obtained the method of eternal life, which is said to be more clever than that person, and you should remember to be careful. ”
"Eternal life...."
Muttering the word immortality, Dumbledore said to himself with a complicated look in his eyes, "I've lived too long... Isn't it a burden for us? ”
"I thought you were like me, you had already lived enough, why did even you pursue an ethereal eternal life?"
Cease.
Dumbledore's mood seemed to Snape to be a little broken.
Then, to Snape's disbelief, when Dumbledore then shifted his gaze to Louis, a question suddenly popped out of his mouth!
"Mr. Rogers, may I ask..."
"Are you interested in eternal life?"
