After meeting Lucius in the courtyard, the mood of several people was more or less affected, and after returning to the castle in silence all the way, they went back to the common room.

The next day, Ron hadn't been discharged from the hospital.

However, according to the Slytherins, Malfoy seems to have been taken away by his father, as if he had gone to St. Mungo.

Kyle didn't care.

He has more important things to do today.

After breakfast, Fred and George were sent to Quidditch training by Woodra.

Kyle went to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor and spent the morning transferring all the moon beasts and some plants to his chest.

Plants with slow growth cycles, such as poisonous tentacles, didn't move.

The seeds of these plants were all compensated by the Ministry of Magic last year, and it has only been a year now, and they are still in the budding stage.

There will be time in the future, so don't rush this moment......

After transferring the last Moon Beast, Kyle returned to the hut at the entrance to the chest.

But instead of leaving, he took out a box from under the bed.

It was only after seeing Lucius Malfoy yesterday that Kyle remembered that he hadn't turned over that journal since the last time Fawkes came.

I don't know what happened to Riddle......

Kyle pulls out the dragon blood he bought from Diagon Alley, pours it into an empty inkwell, and mixes it with some water.

Dragon's blood is so expensive, save a little if you can.

It was only after doing all this that he opened the journal.

Soon, a faint line of handwriting emerged.

[I'm sorry, I haven't recovered yet]

[I don't know what's going on, I'm very slow to recover my mana]

"It's okay, I got the dragon's blood."

Kyle writes a line of red letters on it with a quill.

The line was quickly absorbed.

After about a few seconds......

[Strange, it is indeed dragon blood, but why is there so little magic power in it.] 】

"I don't know......" Kyle wrote, "I bought it in Diagon Alley." ”

[Then you chose the wrong store, this is not pure dragon blood. 】

"Isn't it useful to you?"

[Although the effect is a lot worse, it is still useful.] 】

The words are much clearer than before.

Kyle nodded inwardly, as long as it is useful, what else is it asking for so much.

Once the Riddle card reader is back online, Kyle continues to ask questions about the arrangement of the scripts......

But Riddle's mind wasn't on that, he cared about what Kyle had said earlier.

Who is it...... It was easy to kill an enemy that Dumbledore found intractable.

And the dark wizard with the strange name in Kyle's mouth is likely to be him in the future.

The enemy that can make Dumbledore feel intractable, it must be ...... It can only be him, and others are not qualified at all.

He was desperate to know more and why he had failed.

After patiently answering Kyle's questions, Riddle couldn't help himself.

[I remember you said earlier that someone is stronger than Dumbledore, is it true?] 】

[And ...... What's his name, is he from my time? 】

Kyle looked up from the pile of symbols and inscriptions, glanced at the journal, and wrote casually on it:

"Do you care about this?"

[I'm just too curious.] 】

Riddle replied.

[After all, in my memory, Professor Dumbledore has always been the strongest, and he is also the target I strive to catch up.] 】

[I've been thinking about it ever since you said before that someone had surpassed him.] 】

"No wonder, I just think you had to answer a lot slower than usual."

[There's no way around it, it's hard for me to concentrate.] 】

"Well, I understand ......"

Kyle looked at the parchment paper with the permutations of the few combinations he had just written, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

While this sort of order seems normal and no different from the previous ones, it just so happens that two of the symbols, Kyle has seen.

In the alchemy book written by Nicolame, it is clearly written that the symbols representing "light" and "strike" must not be directly connected, and there must be a buffer in between.

Otherwise, there is a 90% chance that the alchemy items produced will explode directly.

Is this intentional?

Still careless......

Kyle hesitated for a moment, not to say anything about it.

It was useless to say it, Riddle could have excused himself by saying that he was thinking about something else and was negligent for a while.

And if he knew that he had read books related to alchemy, he would definitely be more hidden when he was bad.

That's trouble......

Kyle sighed, scribbled lightly on the parchment, and by the way, he used a clip to get some nutrients for the poison tentacles from a nearby iron bucket, and threw it into the inkwell and stirred it.

Then he dipped a quill in a new "ink" and wrote:

"I'm sorry, Tom, I played a joke on you before, the person who killed the dark wizard was not as strong as Headmaster Dumbledore."

[It turned out to be a joke...... I guessed it a long time ago, though. 】

Riddle's handwriting was a little clearer.

[I knew that there would be no one stronger than Professor Dumbledore......]

"No, Tom, you're wrong."

Kyle wrote, "Actually, Headmaster Dumbledore wasn't even second. ”

[What? 】

"I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to accept it, but now I have decided to tell you the truth......

In fact, there are many hidden families in the wizarding world, who have been inherited for thousands of years, and have incomparably powerful strength, and can move mountains and reclaim seas at will.

However, the people of these families almost never appear in front of ordinary wizards, but silently guard the safety of the magical world in the shadows. ”

[It's impossible!] 】

[If that's the case, how can I meet mediocre people when I was in school.] 】

Riddle's handwriting was so scribbled that it was all connected.

"They don't come to Hogwarts to go to school, it's all family heritage...... I know you're hard to believe, but that's the truth. ”

This time, Riddle didn't reply again.

It was much later that the handwriting reappeared in the diary.

[Since that's the case, then how do you know.] 】

"A lot of people know about ......"

"It's still more than ten years ago, the dark wizard named Voldemort Bat...... His subordinates were so rampant that they once shouted in front of many people, "My lord Dark Lord has the posture of a god", thus angering those people.

So an old man came out, and with a two-handed sword, he slashed the Dark Lord in their mouth half to death. ”

The diary fell into a long silence again.

……

[What happened to the Dark Lord.] 】

"Maybe only a few days later, he died at the hands of a baby, and that's the only news that has been reported."

As he spoke, Kyle pasted the newspaper clippings he had prepared in advance to his journal.

Another ten minutes passed......

"Tom, Tom, are you still there?"

This time, the diary seemed to be broken, and there was no response at all.
