"When we found the entrance to the chamber, we got the news that the basilisk had attacked Neville again and taken Hermione captive.

Then the three of us found Professor Lockhart......"

Harry's voice hesitated as he looked at Professor Lockhart, who was standing aside.

At this moment, Lockhart was looking at him nervously, his eyes full of pleading.

Although this professor is a big liar, it has to be said that when he was in the secret room, he did make a lot of effort to protect Harry and fend off the basilisk head-on.

From this point of view, it seems that it is not very moral to tell Professor Lockhart in person.

Harry remembered what Professor Lockhart had said earlier, and Dumbledore knew about his deception, so he instinctively turned his gaze to Dumbledore.

I saw the old principal smile faintly and nodded at him encouragingly.

"With Clark's persuasion, Professor Lockhart finally decided to join us and go down to the Chamber of Secrets to save Neville and Hermione."

Harry, who had helped Lockhart hide his secret, breathed a sigh of relief, and he felt a pang of relief and a warmth in his heart.

"When we went down to the secret room and opened the door, Ron and I were stunned by the magic mechanism attached to the door."

Harry continued, "When we woke up, Professor Lockhart said that Clark had entered the Chamber of Secrets early because he was worried about Hermione and Neville. As soon as we entered, we saw Tom Riddle beating Clark. ”

"Tom Riddle attended Hogwarts fifty years ago, and he must be sixty or seventy years old now." Professor McGonagall wondered.

"Yes, but when we went in, we saw Tom Riddle as he was when he was younger." Harry said.

"That's because he used the basilisk in the secret room to resurrect." Clark suddenly interjected, "I was the first to rush in after Harry fainted, so I'll tell you what happens next." ”

He stepped forward and began to tell the crowd what he had seen when he entered the chamber.

"As soon as I entered the chamber, I saw a blood-red orb floating in the magic circle at the foot of the Slytherin statue. And the basilisk that attacked the students was lying blind on the side, looking dying.

So I ventured closer and stole the Tom Riddle diary from the center of the magic circle. ”

As he spoke, Clark grabbed the journal that had been turned into a magic book and showed it to Dumbledore.

"Diary?" Professor McGonagall looked at the thick magic book in Clark's hand, "This doesn't look like a diary." ”

Clark buckled his head, pretending to be ignorant, "This journal wasn't like this before. ”

Dumbledore took the diary from Clarke's hand and turned into a spellbook, his gaze shot down his long, crooked nose, staring intently at the hard-shell cover of the spellbook.

"What a remark," he said softly, "needless to say, he was probably one of the best Hogwarts students ever had." ”

"Who? Tom Riddle? ”

Dumbledore turned to face Professor McGonagall in confusion.

"Yes, few people know that Voldemort used to be called Tom Riddle.

Fifty years ago, at Hogwarts, I taught him myself.

However, when he left school, he disappeared......

Maybe he's traveling, or maybe he's living in seclusion somewhere...... Anyway, in the mire of dark magic, he sank deeper and deeper, mingling with the most evil guys in the wizarding world.

After many dangerous magical transformations, he eventually reappeared as Lord Voldemort.

It was hard to recognize him at the time, and few people would associate Voldemort with the smart, handsome boys' student council president who had studied here. ”

Professor McGonagall and Mrs. Longbottom were stunned by Dumbledore's words, but Harry nodded.

"Yes, when we met him in the Chamber of Secrets, he had already admitted that he was Voldemort."

"But," Dumbledore's gaze lingered on the silver emblem of the magic book for a long time, "I am afraid that the person who can transform this diary is not an ordinary person." ”

He didn't open Hermione's spellbook, just held it in his hand, and turned his inquiring gaze to Clark.

Clark continued.

"Later, young Tom Riddle came out of the ball, and I was very surprised to see him.

But after he bragged to me, I realized that he had been reborn by sacrificing a trace of death divinity in the basilisk's eyeballs to a god. ”

God!

Death divinity!

As soon as these two pieces of news came out, they instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"I suppose Mr. Weasley, Mr. Longbottom, and Ms. Granger, you three should go to the hospital at once."

Dumbledore strode over to the door, opened it, and said unquestioningly.

"I think tonight's adventure is enough for you to remember for a long time.

Maybe you should take advantage of the fact that it is still before dawn and rest in bed for a while.

Perhaps, I should have a big steaming glass of chocolate milk, which I always think is good for improving my mood. ”

As he spoke, he looked down and winked at Ron and the others.

Mrs. Longbottom led Neville out, Ron followed behind, and only Hermione, standing in the doorway, hesitated for a moment to retrieve her spellbook.

"Hermione, there's been so much going on tonight, you're tired, go back first." Clark said suddenly.

With him speaking, Hermione didn't linger any longer.

"You know what, Minerva." Professor Dumbledore said thoughtfully to Professor McGonagall.

"I think these things are worth having a party to celebrate. It just so happens that some of the students have been awakened by the commotion, so could you please inform the kitchen and reassure them by the way? ”

"Alright," Professor McGonagall said dryly, and walked towards the door, "Potter and Prewett will be left to you, won't you?" ”

"Of course." Dumbledore said.

She was gone, and Professor McGonagall's office was left with only Dumbledore, Harry, Clark, and oh, one man.

"Headmaster, I suddenly remembered that I haven't done my hair care for the night yet, so you guys are busy first." Lockhart slowly moved to the door.

Dumbledore gave him a deep look until his back was soaked, and then he spoke, "Go, Gildero, you've worked hard tonight, you've done a great job." ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard," Lockhart waved his hand repeatedly, "it's all for the children." ”

After saying that, he was so clever that he closed the door.

Harry stared at Dumbledore uneasily, still wondering what Professor McGonagall meant.

What to do with them?

Should they be—should they—be punished?

However, Dumbledore didn't care about Harry's cranky thoughts at the moment, all his thoughts were now on Clarke's body.

"You have to tell me more about the gods and the divinity of death."

Sure enough, if you want to cover up a big melon, you only need to release a more exciting melon, and the entertainment industry will not deceive me!

Still.

Clark vaguely glanced at Harry who was full of confusion on the side, it seems that Dumbledore has spared no effort in cultivating the savior, and even such an important news, he let Harry listen.

I don't know if he really believes in the so-called language.

Or because he knew he was too old, he desperately put his hope on Harry.

Clarke's thoughts spread, and Dumbledore coughed lightly before he woke him up.

"Oh, well," he said, "according to Tom Riddle, the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets was the pet that Slytherin used to breed the divinity of death. ”

Hearing this, Dumbledore nodded.

In addition to being the greatest wizard of the century, he was also a knowledgeable alchemist.

So he also knows a lot about the origin and origin of the basilisk.

"As a descendant of Slytherin, Tom Riddle entered the Chamber of Secrets by chance after he entered the school.

It's just that the two wisps of death divinity in the basilisk's eyes were not mature at that time, and he didn't know much about the preciousness of this thing.

So after opening the chamber and releasing the basilisk to cause serious effects, he resealed the chamber, leaving only a diary Horcrux containing his remnant soul, waiting for the chamber to be opened again in order to harvest these two wisps of death divinity. ”

Voldemort's Horcruxes!

This is another shocking melon, but for Dumbledore, he has inhaled enough cool air today.

Besides, when he saw the magic book just now, he had already guessed.

"Horcruxes? Well, that's exactly what happened. Dumbledore shook his head and sighed.

Harry looked at them with a puzzled expression, who can explain to me what a Horcrux is!

It's a pity that neither of them has the intention to elaborate.

Clark continued: "Just this year, the Chamber of Secrets was opened, and Tom Riddle's Horcrux Diary was awakened. ”

"Then, according to him, it was to use the essence of the basilisk and the divinity of death to sacrifice to an ancient god called the God of Wisdom, Knowledge, and Magic, and then be reborn."

"[God of Wisdom, Knowledge, and Magic]?!" Dumbledore chewed on the name, his distracted gaze on the magic book that lay quietly on the table.

On the cover of the hard shell, the intricate patterns drawn in silver form a divine emblem composed of a combination of scales and books, which is emitting a mysterious magical light.

"Yes, that's the name, Ogmar, God of Wisdom, Knowledge, and Magic!" Clark said with certainty.

"In various civilizations, there are many gods involved in the priesthood of wisdom, knowledge, and magic.

The god Thoth of ancient Egypt, Athena of ancient Greece, Ganesh of India, and Odin of Northern Europe are all possible.

Of course, it is also possible that a new god is coveting the authority of the old gods.

Even, a false god in the name of God, what kind of conspiracy is being prepared......"

In short, like Tom Riddle, the scheming Dumbledore was also misled by one of Clark's god names.

In fact, this is not to blame them, for mages who are proficient in the occult, it is absolutely impossible to take the name of a god casually, and it involves their authority and path.

And their response to the prayers of the believers, unless, this is not a god, but a blasphemous who steals the power of the gods.

Since it is the God of Wisdom, Knowledge and Magic, then both the new gods and the old gods are definitely related to this direction.

It's just that even they didn't expect that this so-called [God of Wisdom, Knowledge, and Magic] was neither a newly promoted false god nor a resurrected ancient god, but a god from another universe.

However, regardless of the origin of this god, it is enough to attract the attention of Dumbledore and even the British Ministry of Magic.

After all, those gods who used to be have long disappeared in the long river of history.

In today's wizard-dominated Bronze Age, the appearance of a god is enough to cause an uproar.

If he is an old god who has been reinvented, then does this mean that those old gods who disappeared in the golden age will gradually awaken and return, and the world will usher in the return of the gods?

And if He is not an old god, but a new god, then how did He ascend to the throne and exalt His kingdom to the stars?

In addition, this god's priesthood also contains the authority of [magic], does it mean that he is also a wizard.

What kind of impact will this have on the wizarding world, if there are really wizards who have ascended to the gods in this bronze age, then there is hope for them.

All kinds of thoughts came flooding back, so that Dumbledore no longer had the heart to think about whether there were other secrets about what happened in the secret room tonight.

Maybe after a while he calms down, he will still have some doubts, but now Dumbledore only thinks about rushing to the British Ministry of Magic first to talk to those bureaucrats.

So he didn't ask any further, and after calming his thoughts, Dumbledore still looked at them with a smile and said.

"In recognition of your efforts in this Chamber of Secrets, I will discuss with the professors what a special contribution will be made to your school.

And – let me think about – by the way, each of you won two hundred points for Gryffindor. ”

Harry's face suddenly turned bright pink, like Lockhart's Valentine's Day flowers for everyone, and his mouth was closed, and it didn't matter what gods, divinities, horcruaries, etc.

"However, I hope you will keep this thrilling adventure in your hearts and don't tell anyone else."

Dumbledore's blue eyes fixed on the two of them, "I mean all the things that have to do with all this, including what you've heard here tonight, okay?" ”

Under his pressure, Harry and Clark nodded busily.

"Well, I think Minerva should have arranged the banquet soon, so you two go and pack up and get ready for your honor.

A warm smile appeared on Dumbledore's face.
