Although he had never made a Horcrux for himself, as a learned wizard, Dumbledore also had a very in-depth knowledge of Horcruxes. He is well aware www.biquge.info of the fact that Horcruxes are very 'solid' and can only be destroyed with magical weapons with special effects.

Note that this is about destruction, not purification. Of all the methods known to Dumbledore, there was no way to destroy the soul fragments while keeping the artifact intact.

"You're talking about purification? Are you sure? I mean, not destruction, or destruction along with the corpses? Dumbledore gestured to the snake corpse on the ground. Professor McGonagall looked surprised.

"Yes." Chu Xiaobai nodded. After a moment's hesitation, he continued, "I have a special way to purify it, but the more difficult thing is that I can't do it in front of anyone. ”

“……。” Dumbledore frowned, and fell silent.

Can't be purified in front of others? Is it because of constraints that you can't make it public, or because you don't want it yourself? If it's the former, then it's nothing, and if it's the latter, does that mean that your means are not good?

If the means are unseemly, and everyone will be disgusted or disgusted after seeing them, then the people who use this means to do things are not so safe? In the past, only wizards who were obsessed with dark magic would do anything to do anything, are you just like them, an untrustworthy dark wizard?

Also, Horcruxes are related to souls. It is well known that all kinds of magic that involve the soul are very dangerous. In this case, the question is very important - what are you going to do with the soul fragments on the Horcrux? Do you want to study particularly dangerous dark arts?

Finally, and most importantly, do you really 'purify' the soul fragments from the corpse as you say? Not being watched means that no one knows if you're playing tricks, so no one can be sure if you're playing the trick of 'the golden cicada out of its shell' - it seems that you are playing a trick on Voldemort, but in fact you are helping Voldemort hide his tracks.

As the Headmaster of Hogwarts, the leader of the Order of the Phoenix, and the Dark Lord's nemesis, Dumbledore had to think in the worst possible light. Therefore, even if Chu Xiaobai didn't say 'you must let me purify it', just said, 'I can't do this in front of anyone', Dumbledore's mind turned countless thoughts, and even for a moment, he was a little suspicious of Chu Xiaobai's position and camp.

"Can you tell me why?" Of course, it was just a suspicion, and it was not serious enough to directly regard Chu Xiaobai as an enemy.

Whether it can be explained clearly or not lies in whether Chu Xiaobai is willing to expose the existence of the root space.

After thinking about it for a while, Chu Xiaobai still decided to tell the truth and tell Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, 'I have a private space that can purify Horcruxes'. Of course, what he said was just 'private space', and he didn't unreservedly reveal all the information about the root space to the two of them.

As for why he didn't continue to conceal the existence of Rootspace as before, and took the initiative to tell Dumbledore these messages, there were two reasons.

One is because there is no doubt about the position of Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, they are both completely good people, even if they tell them something, they will not bring any disadvantage to Chu Xiaobai.

The second is to lay a foreshadowing - if Dumbledore discovers other Horcruxes first without notifying Chu Xiaobai in the future, he may choose to keep the Horcruxes temporarily and hand them over to Chu Xiaobai to purify, rather than summoning the Gryffindor Sword to cut down the Horcruxes at the first time.

"Because...... So...... So...... I've experimented on this ......, and I can't bring anything into it except myself. As he spoke, Chu Xiaobai pointed to the snake corpse on the ground: "If it weren't for the fact that it was already dead, I wouldn't have been able to take it into that space and then completely purify it." ”

Dumbledore groaned, his eyes fixed on Chu Xiaobai all the time.

Still can't do it? Then the only way to do that is to use the last resort. Chu Xiaobai scratched his head: "If you have other ways to deal with it, it will save me trouble." Although you can get a little benefit after purifying it, it is still too much of a loss compared to consumption. To be honest, I don't really want to make a move. ”

This trick is called retreating as advancing.

"The benefits? What is it? "Hearing Chu Xiaobai mention the 'benefits', Dumbledore finally stopped being silent.

"This is it." While secretly shouting 'yes' in his heart, Chu Xiaobai turned over his hand and took out the unused magic power crystal from the space: "This thing was made by me after I accidentally purified a magic prop more than ten days ago, and at that time, that prop had this cold and weird aura on it. To be honest, I didn't know that space had a purifying effect before that accident. ”

"It's ......." Feeling the fluctuations emanating from the crystals of divine power, and feeling that this fluctuation was very close to the fluctuations of the soul, Dumbledore's expression carried a hint of seriousness. However, after making sure that the fluctuations of the divine power crystals were not dark at all, but crystal clear and had a sense of sacredness, he let go of the vigilance in his heart, and his expression changed from serious to curious.

"I call it a divine power crystal, and as for the specific function, I don't know anything other than knowing that it is beneficial to that space." Chu Xiaobai spread his hands and pulled the topic back again: "Okay, that's it." Dumbledore, let's get rid of this snake first, it's not too early, I'm a little tired, get him early, I'd better go to bed early. It's up to you to decide, it's up to you to deal with it, or I'm going to purify it. ”

"......, you'd better come. I have only one request, after purification, what I get...... Divine Power Crystal, right, I mean, if I get a new Divine Power Crystal, can you let me study it for a while? "There was still some hesitation, however, considering that Chu Xiaobai was not active in this matter, and he was very curious about the new thing of 'Divine Power Crystal', Dumbledore finally handed over the work of disposing of the snake corpse to Chu Xiaobai.

"Now?"

"If you can, now."

"Alright then, you wait for me for a while." The acting is about to be performed to the end, and before entering the space with the snake corpse, Chu Xiaobai didn't forget to 'talk to himself' and threw down a complaint: "Alas, really, I thought I could go to bed directly, but I still have to get tired first." ”

Chu Xiaobai disappeared, without any magic fluctuations, he just disappeared directly from his eyes. Seeing this situation, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, who were still in the room, couldn't help but look at each other.

"It seems that what he said is true."

"Looks like we're not looking at the wrong person, and that's a good thing, isn't it? Mcgonagall. ”

Not to mention what Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall were talking about, just talking about Chu Xiaobai's side, as soon as he entered the space, he couldn't help but cheer happily - one-third, because his little plan succeeded in a wise man like Dumbledore, two-thirds, it was out of anticipation for the future, after all, he had initially gained Dumbledore's trust and recognition, and with his help, it would definitely be much easier to get his hands on the remaining Horcruxes and obtain divine power crystals from those Horcruxes.

"Brother Bai, what's wrong with you? What are you so happy about? "After treating Bane and Unicorn in a row, Xiaoxiaobai, who was a little tired, had already fallen asleep. Because of Chu Xiaobai's commotion, she was also woken up.

"Xiaoxiaobai, come and help. Come on, help me deal with it~! ”

"Huh? Oh~~! Hey, here~! Originally, he was still a little dissatisfied, but thinking that he could also get 'experience points' from the purification process, Xiao Xiaobai also woke up from his daze and entered a state of excitement like Chu Xiaobai.

Excitement to excitement, when it was time to do it, one man and one elf made another mistake - the snake corpse was too big to soak in a basin like the Ravenclaw crown that had been dealt with before, and if you wanted to soak it all in the soul solution, you had to find a container large enough.

Fortunately, with Xiao Xiaobai's reminder, Chu Xiaobai remembered that when he was in the Heavenly Dragon Plane, he had deliberately stored a few large wooden barrels for bathing in the space for convenience.

Bring a large wooden barrel, put the snake corpse in it, and pour a large vat of soul solution ....... In this way, according to the same process as when dealing with Ravenclaw's crown last time, he was busy for more than ten minutes, and finally, Chu Xiaobai got a new divine power crystal.

Let Xiao Xiaobai go to rest first, Chu Xiaobai flashed out of the space again with the divine power crystal and the snake corpse that had been cleaned up, and saw Dumbledore waiting in the room, he threw the crystal in his hand while putting the snake corpse down: "It's okay, I'm tired to death." Give, say okay, I'll let you study it for a while. By the way, I don't know if you need it, anyway, I brought you back the snake corpse~. ”

To Chu Xiaobai's surprise, Dumbledore actually handed over the divine power crystal to Professor McGonagall, well, maybe it was because during the time that Chu Xiaobai was away, Professor McGonagall asked him to 'let me see it too'.

Squatting down and examining the snake corpse for a while, Dumbledore finally smiled: "Okay, it has indeed been purified, and now it is no longer a Horcrux, just the corpse of a magical creature." Chu, thank you~. ”

"It's none of my business, I'll leave it to you anyway, it's not like I have a dead snake at home when I sleep."

"I'll take it away, don't worry. As you said, I need to do some research on it. By the way, didn't you mention another magic item earlier? If you don't mind, lend me that prop to study, okay? ”

I've been thinking about finding a way to get the Ravenclaw crown back, isn't that just right?

"No problem." Pretending to yawn, Chu Xiaobai took out the things and threw them to Dumbledore along with the box: "Here you go, just remember to give it back to me after researching." By the way, this thing is not important, you can't lose that divine power crystallization for me~. ”

"Don't worry......." Laughing in reply, Dumbledore opened the box.

In the next second, Dumbledore's face showed a very surprised expression: "This, this is, my God~!" ”
