Chapter 266: It's Over

Luke didn't care what Dumbledore was saying at all.

He can accept praise, and there is nothing wrong with criticism. People have many facets. Luke never denied that he had an angelic side and a demonic side.

It's just relative, and the side that belongs to the devil won't be easily revealed. But how could such a thing be hidden from Dumbledore? It doesn't matter if Dumbledore is on his good side or his bad side.

At most, treat him like someone like Grindelwald. Whether it's Luke or Grindelwald, they are fundamentally different from Voldemort.

The change in Voldemort's mouth has nothing to do with other people, just a slogan that can make him a person in power, a person in power, and after completing the change, the people who can take advantage of it must be the people who choose to stand by his side. Neutrality doesn't work.

And whether it's Luke or Grindelwald, they don't work hard for what kind of power they have. What they want to do is make the world what they think it is better.

If Dumbledore is a helper, then they will be very happy, and having such a powerful colleague by his side must be a big help. But if Dumbledore was on the opposite side of them, they wouldn't hate it. Because this is not a personal vendetta, but a clash of ideas between the two sides. It's all for the good of the world, but in different ways and means.

Therefore, even now, Dumbledore said that Luke and Voldemort are not the same kind of people at all, and Luke really doesn't think that Dumbledore will support his actions much, and it can even be said that Dumbledore does not make trouble for him, which is already the greatest support.

It's not that he doesn't like change. When he was young, he was also a Lord who was passionate about changing the world. But as he grew older, Dumbledore could not accept too radical changes.

Therefore, Grindelwald's actions not only did not receive his support, but even the two former partners stood on opposite sides.

Now, Dumbledore was no longer facing a peer who was his equal. It's a young self or a young Grindelwald. And he is still his own student, that is, he still has a certain influence on Luke, even if Luke's thinking is a little extreme, he can always make a certain turnaround.

However, unlike Luke, Tom was directly furious after hearing Dumbledore's evaluation.

The magic in the journal condensed again, and a young soul rose from the diary. This form is mana-intensive, and once used, it takes a lot of time to replenish. After all, it was just a Horcrux, and he had no way to produce his own magic after all.

But then, there was no way for that little soundproof barrier to stop him from talking.

When Dumbledore saw that familiar and unfamiliar face, he couldn't help but show a reminiscing expression again.

Luke glanced at him, but it was understandable that the elderly loved to reminisce about the first half of their lives.

"You say he's different from me?" Tom looked very emotional. ….

"I don't believe you don't know what he's doing in this school, and you don't believe he's doing anything in this school. Don't you know what he did to Harry Potter in the Chamber of Secrets?"

"Okay, then I'll tell you!"

"The savior you created, the future you relied on, is about to take on the shape of this guy!"

He gritted his teeth and said in a somewhat ironclad tone, "Harry Potter is about to be domesticated by Luke Gaunt! You're saying he's different from me now? What are you thinking?"

In the face of Tom's revelations, whether it was Dumbledore or Luke, the expressions on their faces did not change at all.

As Tom had said, Dumbledore couldn't have been ignorant of what Luke had done. He couldn't possibly be completely unconcerned about Harry's current state of mind.

But......

"Harry's choice is up to him." Luke said sarcastically, "You can decide things by a glance

It's a little less cautious, Tom."

Did Luke do anything excessive with Harry? No, even the words in the secret room just now were selectively informed of the facts, and deliberately interrupted Harry's emotional sublimation of himself. As for using Harry as bait and putting him in danger...... If Luke really wasn't worried, he wouldn't need to follow up early. He was completely sure that something would happen to Harry, so he would let Harry be the bait.

As for whether it is right or wrong to do so. For a man like Luke, who is ruthless enough to use himself as bait, this kind of thing is better not to be discussed.

He saw Harry as a friend. I don't care about playing some domesticated tricks on my friends.

But Harry...... A person who has never felt the warmth of family affection since he was a child, after his own schooling, there has always been a guy who seems to be omnipotent to play the role of an older brother in his life.

It is difficult to say whether the affection between this friend will eventually turn into the attachment of the younger brother to the older brother. The bond of family affection is not only blood, but also long-term companionship and care.

Luke thinks Harry is someone to care for. Because there will be no bad consequences for caring about him. And to be able to reap the rewards. Even people who don't want to reciprocate are not willing to give their kindness to a white-eyed wolf.

However, after listening to Luke's words, Tom did not delve into this issue, but sneered, "But I'm sure you and I are the same person, Luke. We all yearn for change, we aspire to be the masters......

"Poke!"

Luke smiled exaggeratedly and said, "I don't want to be the ruler of anything, if it weren't for the fact that this world is too wrong. Isn't it good for me to sit on the mountains of gold and silver left by my ancestors and eat and wait for death?"

"I'm really different from you, I don't lack anything, the things you want, what rights, what status, what honors, what respects, are all things at my fingertips."

"I really don't know how confident you can say that you're the same person as me?"

"I'm just hungry for a change in the world. It's better to change because of me. What you want is a change in the world, and the world changes around you." ….

"Don't insult me."

Luke said at the end, with a cold sneer on his face. He also thought that Voldemort's bad brain was due to the side effects of the magical experiment given to him by Slytherin's mindful body, as well as the outward manifestation of the fragmentation of the soul caused by the creation of the Horcruxes. But now it seems that in Tom Riddle's time, this guy wasn't smart.

At best, it's a little clever.

But after thinking about it, such an obviously problematic bloodline fusion experiment dares to be used casually, and it can only be said that it may not be smart enough.

Dumbledore watched the two men arguing, watching Tom's soul body seem to swell in a circle, and the expression on his face was almost like a beast that chooses to devour.

But Tom couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

Lies never hurt, the truth is the quick knife.

And Luke's telling these realities one by one is simply poking dozens of holes in Tom's already sensitive, suspicious, inferior and proud heart.

But after saying that, Luke seemed a little uneasy. With a wave of his wand, a milky glow flickered, and Tom was once again locked in his journal.

"I guess you know the solution to this spell, too. If there's anything else you want to ask, just ask yourself."

With that, Luke yawned heavily, "I've got to go back to bed early." If I sleep too late, it may affect my development. If it doesn't grow tall, it will spoil."

As he spoke, he got up and left. After all, he is not an old man, and sleep itself is less. What's more, he is still very good at his height. In his previous life, he was only 1.8 meters, and judging from the trend in this life, he may not have the opportunity to grow a little higher. From this point of view, he really needs to get some sleep.

Cultivating immortals

It hurts the body!

But when he got up, he seemed to suddenly remember something, so he felt something out of his pocket again.

"It's a vial of poison to deal with this diary. Professor, you should also know some of the properties of Horcruxes, which ordinary magic can't deal with."

Before Dumbledore could speak, he quickly added, "Of course, I know you have a lot of ways to deal with this journal. Fire, sword, anything. But ......"

He pushed the poison on the table forward again, "Just take it as my sincerity."

After saying that, he turned around and said, "I'll go back to sleep, although the old people don't sleep much, but the professor had better rest early." At your age, it's better to wake up early than to go to bed late."

Looking at Luke's back as he left, Dumbledore looked at the finger-sized vial of poison on the table, which was less than half a vial. Even through the bottle, you can smell a surging fragrance.

This fragrance gives you a sense of well-being. Dumbledore seemed to have given up all the worries in his heart in an instant, and wanted to get a good night's sleep.

But the next moment, Dumbledore came to his senses, and looked at the small half bottle of brightly colored poison, his eyes were quite solemn. Luke had a lot of good stuff on hand, and he knew that for a long time. But he really didn't expect that Luke even had such a thing on hand. ….

"It's not like a normal basilisk venom...... How many ??? are still hidden in the boy's hole cards?"

He shook his head, not thinking about such a meaningless thing, Luke's previous reminder he understood, Luke should have found a Horcrux without his knowledge and successfully destroyed the Horcrux, using the venom in front of him.

This also shows that Voldemort, the number of Horcruxes in his is plural. And it should be at least a three-......

You know, every Horcrux made costs more than just the lives of an innocent person. There is also a part of the soul of the caster. Although it is a division. But the importance of the soul to a person as a whole is self-evident. Will the Horcrux be worn out in the process of tearing the soul apart?

Even if there is no split for the first time, then what about more splits?

I don't know whether to say whether Voldemort is afraid of death or not.

Thinking so, Dumbledore put away the bottle of poison in his hand. How could such a good thing that could give him a considerable sense of crisis be used for such a trivial matter as destroying Horcruxes?

Dumbledore's fingers flicked, and an orange-yellow flame ignited in his notebook. The flame burned quickly and violently. But this diary was not so easily burned to ashes. Gradually, the flames grew larger and changed shape.

A trumpet made of flames rolled around on Dumbledore's desk, his mouth opening and closing, and Dumbledore could barely tell that it was a four-letter word that began with F and S.

But the burning Tom did not cause the slightest damage to the desk under him. Dumbledore's control over the fire was evident.

The fire failed to get new fuel for Dumbledore, and even under Dumbledore's deliberate control, it didn't grow much at all before it was extinguished by Dumbledore's counter-spell.

Dumbledore's own fire, of course, he could easily control it. And under Dumbledore's control, there's nothing else to fuel it.

Fierce fire, a power that seems to be difficult to control in the eyes of ordinary wizards, in the hands of a wizard like Dumbledore, is like a hamster that has been accustomed to the plate, and it is as he pleases.

"Tom...... Voldemort ...... Getler ...... Luke...... Ariana ......"

Dumbledore muttered these names, then yawned loudly, and then he smiled inexplicably, "Old is old, and the future world still depends on young people."

The next day, when the students woke up, they saw a very conspicuous notice in their respective lounges.

「…… The matter has been satisfactorily resolved, and the school will resume normal class order, please follow the class schedule

Cheng ......"

Neville looked at the announcement in front of him a little confused, "That's the solution? Doesn't it look fast?"

Seamus snorted twice and said, "For Filch's cat, it took so much effort, I really don't understand what to think."

"No matter how you think about this kind of thing, it's just for a cat, use your brain."

Hermione was not friendly, and even spoke in a slightly resentful voice. Seamus had the heart to talk to Hermione, but looking at Hermione's unhappy expression, as well as her record in the past, and the strong strength she showed intentionally or unintentionally, Seamus was shamefully cowardly.

"What else could it be?"

He stiffened his neck, but he only dared to say such a thing.

Hermione really didn't even give him a look.

And just then, Ron, who was in a state of panic, came out of the dormitory, "Did any of you see Harry?!"

There was an instant silence in the lounge.

"Inner ......"

A girl's voice suddenly rang out. All eyes were on the unknown first-grader.

"Ginny Weiss come, we woke up this morning and haven't seen her until now.".

I don't update
