Eternal life.

Undoubtedly an obsessive word.

According to Louie's recent understanding, whether in the modern magic system or the old magic system, there is a topic of eternal life in the wizarding world, which makes countless wizards willing to dedicate their lives to pursue and explore.

Pity.

Almost all methods that can be used for eternal life have quite serious drawbacks.

For example.

The most famous alchemist in the wizarding world, Nick Lemay.

As the sole maker of the Philosopher's Stone, with the miraculous effect of the Philosopher's Stone, Nick Lemay seems to have immortal abilities, and the legend of his immortality is still circulating in the wizarding world, and he himself tells the truth of this legend, and still lives in seclusion in a place that only a few people know.

But....

Not to mention how difficult it is to make the Philosopher's Stone, whether the production of the first Philosopher's Stone is a miracle, just a series of drawbacks that come with Nick Lemay's immortality are unbearable for ordinary people.

Therefore, if Louis wanted eternal life, he would definitely be the same as Voldemort's original decision, and it would be impossible for him to rely on the power of the Philosopher's Stone to obtain eternal life.

For example.

The Smith family's texts to this day record the methods of using the magic of the past to achieve immortality.

Louis listed this method as one of the methods of pseudo-immortality, along with the method of splitting souls to make Horcruxes to obtain immortality, which can only continue life like a remnant at most, and cannot achieve immortality in the true sense.

Because, in the Smith family inheritance, the method of immortality is, in Louis's view, a seizure without much technical content, and an immortality that is completed by using the magic of the past to condense his soul into a mysterious character and forcibly encroach on the bodies of others.

Why is this method of immortality actually pseudo-immortality?

The reason is simple.

It is nothing more than the consumption that is directly related to the encroachment on the body of others.

Every time you use this method to invade someone's body and use it to prolong your own life, the mysterious character condensed from the soul will consume some of its power.

Over time, the more you invade the bodies of others, the more serious the consumption of your own soul becomes, and sooner or later it will be completely depleted.

At that time.

Isn't it the time to die?

Voldemort splitting souls to make Horcruxes for immortality also has the disadvantage of over-depleting soul power, and each time he splits his soul, he becomes weaker.

It's just that Voldemort, who is the second generation of the Dark Lord, is relatively talented, and his soul strength is enough to crush the vast majority of wizards in the wizarding world, and he has the ability to barely recover a little soul trauma, and the time of pseudo-immortality can be relatively long.

However, if Louis really has an obsession with eternal life, the above three methods that can be used for eternal life, or pseudo-eternal life, will inevitably not appear in his options.

Therefore, at this time, in the face of Dumbledore's question, Louis replied very calmly: "Headmaster, I am still very young, is the so-called eternal life too early for me?" ”

"And what about when you live to my age?"

Although he was satisfied with Louis's previous answer, Dumbledore still asked with some persistence: "Mr. Rogers, at that time, were you willing to pay a certain price to pursue eternal life for the continuation of life?" ”

"It's a false proposition."

Louis said with a serious expression: "Let's not say that in the process of growing up, various concepts may change anytime and anywhere, no one can be sure that their thoughts in a few decades can be the same as a few decades ago, just say that I am now.... It is true that there is no specific concept of eternal life. ”

"Also, I must reiterate, Headmaster.... I'm young. ”

"yes!"

Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Mr. Rogers, even compared to Severus, you are much younger, and you have a lot of time to squander. ”

"The vitality of youth.... That's nice! ”

After the emotion, Dumbledore's mood changed visibly in Snape's eyes, and then the few people did not discuss the topic of eternal life again, but walked straight into Gringotts under Dumbledore's guidance.

Stop.

Dumbledore is really the face fruit ability of the wizarding world, and he persuaded the goblins of Gringotts with just a few thin faces, and without even asking why a few people wanted to go to the Gringotts vault, he sent someone to take them to the Gringotts vault.

The vault where Voldemort's Horcruxes were hidden was relatively far away, and it was inevitable that there would be some delay on the way, and Dumbledore had to search the vaults one by one.

About a few hours later.

Finally arriving at the vault that Louis was very familiar with, Dumbledore pointed to the elf who had given instructions to guide him, and said, "Yes, this is the place. ”

The goblin who led the way nodded when he heard this, and stepped forward to open the vault in front of him for a few people, revealing the items stored inside.

However, looking at the several fire dragons guarding outside the vault, Dumbledore groaned for a moment, and suddenly said to Snape:

"Severus, if you're going to sneak into the Gringotts vault secretly, will you be able to handle the fire dragons in front of you?"

"Dumbledore, that's a boring question."

Snape glanced at him coldly and said, "It's not difficult to deal with a few fire dragons, the difficult thing is to solve them without attracting anyone's attention!" ”

As he spoke, as if realizing the crux of Dumbledore's inquiry, Snape's pupils shrank sharply, and he asked rhetorically, "Wait, you mean to say.... Has anyone sneaked into the vault in front of us? ”

"Gentlemen, I would like to say that it is impossible for you to discuss the issue."

The goblin who was about to open the vault frowned, and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "You know, the safest place in the entire wizarding world is our Gringotts vault, unless it is a special guest like you, no one will question the safety of the vault!" ”

"You're right."

"But..."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Dumbledore couldn't help but take a deep breath and sighed, "But.... Alas! Someone had sneaked in before us, and I could guess the identity of that person was an old friend of mine. ”

"It seems that we have fallen behind them in many things, and now we can only pray that my old friend is not willing to cooperate with others!"

Almost as soon as Dumbledore's voice fell.

"Hum...."

The vault was opened.

Following the direction Dumbledore and Snape were facing, Louis saw the Horcrux that Delphi had collected again, and the ring of Marvolo Gaunt was still suspended in the center of the vault.

Unlike the few people around him, Louis noticed at a glance that the extra traces of magic on the Horcrux came from Dumbledore's old friend Grindelwald.

Louis must not have been surprised that he was able to sneak into Gringotts' vaults secretly.

It's what he left on that Horcrux....

Well.

Louie found it funny!

"Cooperation?"

"It's definitely impossible in this life!"
