Hogwarts Kryptonian.

Chapter 248 Seven

After a few days, Lu Yunkai summoned the Demon God again. It wasn't the crow that came out, but it was still an "old friend": the monster called Hualiver that Lu Yunkai summoned for the first time.

Of course, after this demon god was summoned, Lu Yunkai was still very satisfied. At least, he could complain to it about the contract effect attached to the magic circle that lifted the curse, and then chatted about the demon god imparting magic to humans.

Compared with the several demon gods summoned by Lu Yunkai after it, this one named Hualiver seems to be particularly talkative, and his personality is also very kind. He knows everything about Lu Yunkai's problems and talks endlessly, which makes Lu Yunkai very Good impression.

It's just that because of the different sacrifices, Lu Yunkai only had ten minutes to chat with it this time, so he didn't learn much, and it disappeared soon.

And this summoning made Lu Yunkai lie on the bed for three days and calm down for three days.

Lying on the bed, looking at the sea view outside the window, Lu Yunkai seriously thought about the very strange adoptive father, as well as Voldemort, Dumbledore, Harry... and all kinds of people he knew.

Pure-blood, half-blood, Muggle-born.

Even Muggles...

Three days later, Lu Yunkai, who had fully recovered, took out the Pensieve from the interspatial bag, and plunged his head into it.

Braving up his courage, he saw in that memory a scene that was almost exactly the same as the one he had seen in Dumbledore's place before.

Only the dialogue between Slughorn and Riddle has changed.

The content of the conversation was not as bad as Lu Yunkai thought.

Riddle asked Slughorn in a tentative tone. He happened to see a kind of evil magic called a Horcrux in the restricted area (Lu Yunkai believed it was a coincidence), so he came to consult Slughorn, and Slughorn Ghorn was also stunned that Riddle had taken an interest in such a wicked spell.

However, after that, the two sides adhered to the "purely academic discussion" and discussed the issue of Horcrux production, that is, the issue of the number of soul divisions.

Slughorn told Riddle that the more times the soul splits, the less stable it is, and Riddle asked him what would happen if he made seven Horcruxes...

Slughorn expressed incomprehension and shock to Riddle's idea, but he didn't tell Riddle that he would die if he did so.

It's like telling Riddle, I don't support you doing this, but if you insist on splitting your soul seven times, only your conscience can condemn you...

This is also tantamount to another confirmation.

After getting the answer he wanted, Riddle left contentedly, and this memory ended.

After reading this memory, Lu Yunkai felt much better.His fears that his adoptive father "hinted" that Voldemort was going to make Horcruxes never happened.

Then Lu Yunkai, who came back to his senses, realized that his worries were unnecessary: ​​even if Slughorn secretly supported Voldemort's wizards' pure blood and opposed the International Statute of Secrecy, there was no reason to teach a person who did not show his strength at the time. Young wizards with this tendency make things like horcruxes! !
I really think too much.

And this also made Lu Yunkai a little more sorry for his adoptive father.

But soon, sorry was thrown aside, because in this memory, Lu Yunkai, like Voldemort in it, got the answer he wanted.

……

"I'm very sorry, I was in a hurry when I left last time, but I forgot to exchange numbers."

"It's okay, it's good to be able to contact you."

"Having said that, the communication mirror you've made is truly a wonderful creation, a genius and epoch-making idea for wizard-to-wizard communication."

"...Thank you for your compliment, ahem, professor, shall we get down to business?"

Lu Yunkai looked awkwardly at the face covered with white beard and white hair in the communication mirror.

This kind of praise from the greatest magician of our time made him somewhat embarrassed.

After learning the whole process from the Pensieve, Lu Yunkai contacted Harry through the communication mirror and asked him to help tell Dumbledore that he had learned "what Dumbledore wants to know" and asked him to help Contact Dumbledore and meet yourself at your convenience.

And after Harry learned that Lu Yunkai "had actually found out how many Horcruxes Voldemort planned to make" (Lu Yunkai was very curious why Dumbledore told Harry all this), he readily gave Lu Yunkai Dumbledore's Communication mirror number...

Then Lu Yunkai found out that Dumbledore had already started using the communication mirror.

This made him feel mixed feelings, and then he took out a room full of communication mirrors from the system, and after completing the numbering, handed them over to Irene.

After that, Dumbledore's contact was added using the communication mirror.

It's just that Dumbledore is obviously much more busy than students like Lu Yunkai and Harry who are at home on vacation and stare in a daze in the mirror every day. Lu Yunkai's addition application was not approved by Dumbledore until two days later.

And then there's this call.

Dumbledore in the mirror used the communication mirror more skillfully than Lu Yunkai imagined, which surprised Lu Yunkai.This old man does have a young heart...

"Business? Of course! Why, is there any progress on Horace's side?"

"Father has given me the memory of his conversation with Riddle." Lu Yunkai nodded to Dumbledore who was a little surprised in the mirror, "I have seen it too."

Hearing Lu Yunkai's words, Dumbledore in the mirror was obviously surprised.

He froze for a moment, then seemed to sit down.

And the communication mirror that was originally held in his hand seemed to have been activated by him with the floating spell, and it floated by his side instead.

"I think the memory I got should be real." Lu Yunkai thought that Dumbledore didn't believe it, so he made a guarantee.

"Oh, of course!" Dumbledore nodded hastily, "Of course I do. Horace doesn't need to lie to you... It's just that I didn't expect you to get that memory so quickly..."

"Actually, I got it that day. It's just... well, I'm sorry that I'm a little scared." Lu Yunkai said truthfully.

"... Well, it's because you are kind, of course you don't need to blame yourself." Hearing what Lu Yunkai said, Dumbledore was slightly taken aback again, then a gentle smile appeared on his wrinkled face, and he nodded. "So, have you read that memory?"

"Riddle asked my father what would happen if he made a Horcrux seven times. My father told him that splitting the soul too many times would cause the soul to become weak and unstable, but he didn't say that making it seven times would lead to death." Lu Yunkai said of himself The picture I saw in my memory and my own speculation came out, "So I think Riddle probably intends to make seven Horcruxes."

"..."

Hearing the number seven, Dumbledore fell silent.

It was like Lu Yunkai who came out of the pensieve after reading the memories yesterday, and sat there drinking a cup of black tea all afternoon.

So Lu Yunkai did not urge Dumbledore.

He looked at Dumbledore in the mirror with a stiff expression, not knowing whether he was in a daze or thinking about something, and where he was.

It should be the headmaster's office of Hogwarts, because Lu Yunkai can see Dumbledore's desk in the picture.

There seems to be something on the desk... wait a minute! !

Lu Yunkai's expression instantly became weird.

On the desk, is that a ring?
Well, the ring is not important. After all, Lu Yunkai has several different ones in his interspatial bag, some are real and some are fake. The problem is that the ring is inlaid with an ordinary, nothing special black stone...

Isn't that the resurrection stone? ?

Dumbledore has the Resurrection Stone? ?

So when I was lying in bed two days ago, what Chris told herself was true. Back then, Dumbledore and his "closest friend" Grindelwald wanted to obtain the legendary Power beyond the god of death to fight against the international law of secrecy? ?

The Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and Harry's Invisibility Cloak (Lu Yunkai had heard about it from Harry, and that cloak was "returned" to him by Dumbledore as a Christmas present in his first year)... …

Did Dumbledore really do it? ?

It seems that what Chris said, Dumbledore has never given up on opposing the International Statute of Secrecy, is true! !

"Well, let's see." Dumbledore cleared his throat, and he didn't seem to notice that Lu Yunkai's gaze had long been on his face, but on the ring on the table next to him that didn't look special, "Convenient If you come later this afternoon to the safe house of the Order of the Phoenix, take that memory with you, and I will go and see for myself."

"...you don't believe what I said seven times?"

"It's not that I don't believe it, but I don't want to believe it." Dumbledore didn't seem to mind showing his frightened side, "Seven times... this number is really terrible."

"Indeed, I don't really want to believe that he actually made so many Horcruxes." Lu Yunkai nodded, "But I go to the safe house of the Order of the Phoenix...is it safe? After all, there is Voldemort's insider at the Ministry of Magic. It's managing the monitoring of underage wizards."

"Oh? Are you sure??"

"Voldemort took me to see Grindelwald last Christmas. There is no record of me going abroad in the Ministry of Magic. Umbridge also knew about this, but he couldn't do anything about me."

"...Have you been to see Grindelwald??" Dumbledore was lost for a moment.

But it recovered quickly.

"Well, you go to No. 12, Grimmauld Place in the late afternoon, and we will meet."

"...No. 12, Grimmauld Place? Sirius' house? Is it the safe house of your Order of the Phoenix now??" Lu Yunkai was a little surprised.

"The Black family is the oldest pure-blood family, and the ancestral home is absolutely safe. Sirius hoped to make some contribution to the resistance against Voldemort, so he used it as the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix." Dumbledore nodded and explained. , "I'm the secret keeper there now. You can just go there."

"Okay." Lu Yunkai nodded, "By the way, can I take Chris there?"

"Of course!"

"See you later then."

Lu Yunkai ended the call with a smile.

"Meow? Well, let me say that Dumbledore can't believe that Voldemort actually made seven Horcruxes?"

Crouching behind Lu Yunkai's mirror, Chris raised her head proudly after hearing the whole conversation.

But Lu Yunkai didn't answer it.

"Meow? What's the matter?"

"There really is another resurrection stone in this world." Lu Yunkai looked serious.

"Meow? Why did you suddenly remember this... Dumbledore? In his hands?"

"I saw it, on his desk, set in a ring. It's exactly the same as the one in my hand."

"Meow. If there is, then there is! Why are you so nervous?" Chris shook her head indifferently, "What are you worried about?"

"...My resurrection stone was given to me by the summoned demon god. Then how did the resurrection stone in Dumbledore's hand... come from?" Lu Yunkai narrowed his eyes and looked at Chris.

"It's the god of death... meow??"

Chris instantly understood what Lu Yunkai was thinking.

grim Reaper?

The devil is right!
"And Grindelwald, and even Voldemort know about the Demon God." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "I thought about it before, does it mean that maybe there is still a way to summon the Demon God in this world."

"Meow, is this very important?" Chrissy was a little puzzled, "Even if others can summon it, without the ring in your hand, it will still pay a huge price!"

"That's not what I was thinking!!" Lu Yunkai shook his head, "If there is a complete set of summoning methods in this world, why don't I learn it?"

"study……"

"That's right!!" Lu Yunkai nodded seriously, "I want to buy a scroll from the system to summon, but surely it's impossible for others to do so? They have to make their own scrolls! And there must be a specified method in the scroll making method." The method of the demon god!"

"Meow! That's right!!" Chrissy reacted, "You have to ask... Well, Voldemort will definitely not tell you, Grindelwald..."

"It's too dangerous for Grindelwald to stay there, Voldemort is taking me, I dare to go for a walk, myself?" Lu Yun smiled and shook his head, "I was thinking, since the Deathly Hallows is written in the fable book There should be quite a few people who know and are interested in the story, and naturally, there should be some legends handed down. And it should be related to the spread of the Deathly Hallows."

"Where are you going to find it? Ordinary wizards treat this stuff as a joke, meow!" Chris shook her head, "Even that old man Eli doesn't believe this stuff..."

"They don't believe it, but some people will believe it!"

"Meow?"

"Luna." A strange smile appeared on Lu Yunkai's face, "Her father. Perhaps there is no one in this world who is more sympathetic to these strange things than the mad girl Lovegood and her equally crazy father." Legends are clearer and more interesting to people, right?"

"Meow... Although I am very upset when you say that about my favorite little fairy Luna, but...you are right." Chris nodded reluctantly.
