Chapter 4165 4167【Get them all】
Xiang Nan immediately created a water cup and drank the pink liquid in the stone basin.
??Now that the toxicity of the despair potion has been removed by Xiang Nan''s antidote, he will be fine if he drinks it.
The reason why Dumbledore failed to do this was partly because the Potion of Despair was a dark magic potion created by Voldemort, and it was difficult to brew the antidote in a short period of time.
Xiang Nan had learned about potions from Voldemort''s soul fragments, and had already known that the green liquid in the stone basin was despair poison, so he had a lot of time to research and make the antidote in advance.
On the one hand, Dumbledore had already been cursed at the time and had less than a year left to live. He had no time to slowly find a way to break it and had no choice but to endure it.
If he had enough time, I believe he would study it slowly and even regard it as a good research topic.
After drinking all the liquid in the stone basin, Xiang Nan saw Slytherin''s locket at the bottom of the stone basin.
It was a golden locket, the size of an egg, with a gorgeous letter "S" on it, inlaid with many small emeralds. It was very exquisite and beautiful.
??The reason why this locket has been treasured by descendants of the family for generations is not only because it is a relic of Salazar Slytherin, but also because it was once a huge storage box.
? Salazar Slytherin stored a large amount of wealth, potions, magic props, magic books, etc. in the locket, enough to maintain the continuation of the entire family.
Since this locket can only be opened using Parseltongue, which is unique to the Slytherin family, no one except the descendants of the family can open the locket, and no one can take away the contents. Stored items.
Because this locket has an impeccable anti-theft effect.
??But he didn''t expect that his descendants would be so unfilial. Without passing it on for several generations, the inheritance in the locket had been squandered, leaving only an empty locket, and now it was turned into a Horcrux by Voldemort.
…
After getting Slytherin''s locket, Xiang Nan cast the "Copying Curse", made a new fake, and put it back in the stone basin.
Seeing that the despair medicine in the stone basin, which had been drunk up, gradually filled the entire stone basin.
Xiang Nan knew that this was a deliberate design by Voldemort. He liked to torture people repeatedly.
?The Potion of Despair is very difficult to drink. The more you drink, the more painful it becomes. Most people won’t be able to hold on after just a few drinks.
Even if Dumbledore was as strong-willed as Dumbledore, he almost gave in, but Harry Potter followed his instructions and forced it into him.
?So Voldemort deliberately designed that the Despair Potion would be filled slowly to prevent someone from drinking the potion multiple times and to prevent others from taking advantage of this loophole.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan poured another cup of antidote.
?In this way, when Regulus Black comes to fetch it again, he will not have to suffer so much, he will not have to drink the lake water, and naturally he will not be attacked by the Inferi.
??The so-called prodigal son can never exchange gold for his return. That kid has a pretty good personality and is worth saving.
…
After finishing the arrangement, Xiang Nan left the island in the middle of the lake, exited the cave, and used Apparition to leave the place and arrived at Hogsmeade Village outside Hogwarts.
Enter Hogwarts through the main entrance.
I haven’t been back to school for two years, but when I came back, I really felt a lot more friendly.
Xiang Nan then cast the Patronus Charm and asked it to notify Dumbledore that he had found the remaining Horcruxes and to come to his office to find him immediately.
A moment later, Xiang Nan had arrived on the third floor of Hogwarts, and Dumbledore was already waiting at the door. "Pile of cockroaches~" Dumbledore said, and then a flight of stairs appeared.
The two of them walked up the stairs and entered the office on the eighth floor.
Xiang Nan then handed over the Hufflepuff gold cup, Slytherin''s locket, and the diary that he had just obtained.
“Hufflepuff’s golden cup! Slytherin’s locket!” Dumbledore said in surprise, and the portraits of all the past principals were also surprised.
?These are the sacred objects left by the founder of Hogwarts, and they are of extraordinary significance and great value.
They were basically left to their own families after the death of the founder, so even principals like them had never seen them, but now their eyes have been opened.
"This diary is..." Dumbledore said curiously.
“It is the notebook used by the mysterious person.” Xiang Nan said, opening the diary, and saw the words “Tom Riddle” on the first page.
Xiang Nan then picked up a quill on the table and wrote in the diary, "My name is Severus Snape~"
"Hello, Severus, my name is Tom Riddle. How did you find my diary?" A line of writing quickly appeared on the diary, and then slowly disappeared.
Dumbledore suddenly understood.
It is doubtful that this diary possesses any intelligence.
“Now that the five Horcruxes have been gathered, I just hope he doesn’t make a sixth or seventh Horcrux.” Xiang Nan added.
"Probably not. Making a Horcrux is already a terrifying thing. He actually made five Horcruxes and split his soul into six parts. I think his soul is very fragile now. I can''t afford to be divided again," Dumbledore waved.
Horcrux making, instead of dividing the soul into six equal parts, half the soul must be divided for each division. Therefore, every time a Horcrux is made, half of the soul is lost.
Voldemort made five Horcruxes, so his current soul is only one-thirty-second of its intact state.
??Ordinary wizards would have died long ago at this point, but Voldemort was so talented that he could still hold on.
But multiple times of splitting his soul also caused him to become less and less human, and his mind became increasingly crazy and unstable.
?Hence Dumbledore concluded that Voldemort should never make Horcruxes again.
?But Xiang Nan knew that Voldemort wanted to make six Horcruxes. Adding himself to this makes seven.
The number "seven" is a magical and mysterious number in the magical world.
??It may just be that he didn''t find a suitable container, because Voldemort always pursues ostentation the most. Except for the first time I made a Horcrux, I had no choice but to use my own diary. All other Horcruxes are top sacred objects in the magical world.
The Resurrection Stone, Slytherin''s Locket, Hufflepuff''s Golden Cup, Ravenclaw''s Diadem, and he even wanted to get his hands on Gryffindor''s sword.
In the magical world, top-level holy objects like this are very rare, and he didn''t want to wrong himself, so he never created the sixth Horcrux.
In the original novel, Voldemort did not know that Harry Potter had a fragment of his soul, so after his resurrection, he created the Horcrux Nagini.
?This also caused his soul to split twice more, leaving only one hundred and twenty-eighth of its complete form.
?This is also the reason why after Voldemort was reborn, he kept making stupid moves. He didn''t have the IQ or charm of the top villain BOSS at all, and he could only say "Hey, hey, hey."
?Because his soul has been shattered into pieces, it would be strange if others did not fall into madness, confusion, and confusion.
