Casting spells

"I will definitely come back before dawn at the latest, I promise."

As the last word fell, Zhang Cheng grabbed the sleeve of the strange man and disappeared with a swipe.

next second...

He appeared directly in an old house exuding a strong decaying atmosphere. The surrounding floors and decorations had not been maintained for an unknown period of time. They were covered with a thick layer of dust and cobwebs, and the lighting equipment did not even have electric lights. , only two candles emitting a faint light.

Chapter 761 Common Ground

"Ah! Here you are at last, my dear friend."

With a very recognizable voice, Voldemort finally revealed his twisted and ugly temporary body.

It has to be said that his talent in magic is indeed amazing. Even in a miserable state between life and death, he can still use limited resources to ensure that he will not really die.

Not to mention anything else, just this baby-like body contains a lot of advanced necromancy magic technology, which can ensure that the incomplete and cursed soul will not be swallowed by the ubiquitous death rules.

You must know what happened to Voldemort. If it was replaced by anyone else, even Albus Dumbledore, it would be absolutely impossible to survive.

But not only did he survive successfully, but he also actively planned to reshape his body and appear in front of the world as a living person.

No doubt, this alone was enough to justify his claim to have conquered death.

After realizing this, Zhang Cheng put away his previous contemptuous attitude, and sincerely praised: "Good evening, respected Dark Lord. I have to admit that your attainments in certain magic fields are far stronger than Dumbledore's. Too many, even far beyond my expectations."

"Hahahaha! I accept your compliment. You know I took a lot of risk in arranging this meeting, but it seems very worthwhile now, doesn't it?" Voldemort let out a harsh laugh.

In order to quickly resolve the conflict between the two, he broke his usual cautious style, just to find out whether the mysterious oriental wizard in front of him was an enemy or an ally.

If it is an enemy, then the other party will definitely not let the weak self kill him. If it is an ally, this will be a good opportunity to be honest and close the distance between each other.

It has been said that success in any field is essentially a dangerous gamble. Those who succeed will naturally be praised by countless people, but those who fail will only be ruthlessly ridiculed.

Obviously, this time the Dark Lord won the bet.

Because Zhang Cheng didn't want to kill the opponent at this time, it would lose a very valuable pawn, and at the same time make many follow-up plans full of uncertainty, so he just nodded slightly: "Yes, very Worth it, at least we have a reason to build a relationship of trust instead of continuing to take advantage of each other."

"Yes! Trust! It's important!" Voldemort grinned enough to give most people nightmares at night. "I want to know, why do you shelter Harry Potter, don't you know he is my enemy?"

"Enemy? Are you kidding me? A 15-year-old boy who lost his parents when he was born is actually qualified to be your enemy? No, he is not your enemy at all, he just inadvertently let you It's just a loss of face." Zhang Cheng retorted bluntly.

In fact, this so-called enemy relationship is a strategy deliberately created by Albus Dumbledore to confuse and divert the opponent's attention.

As the saying goes, a lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth.

No matter how absurd the rumor is, as long as a large group of people think it is right, then Voldemort must stand up and prove it wrong with practical actions.

As stupid as it sounds, it will be the Achilles' heel of an aspirant determined to subvert the existing order, especially one who uses violence and intimidation to achieve his goal.

After all, as long as Harry Potter is alive, people will hold out hope that the brave will one day defeat the Lord again, so that the rebellion will never really stop.

In this way, the wily Dumbledore can continue to hide in secret to search for and destroy the Horcrux, ensuring that when the final battle comes, the opponent can never be resurrected from the dead.

It can be said that according to Dumbledore's actions, he is more like the final boss hidden behind the scenes, rather than Voldemort with a more flamboyant personality.

"You're right, Harry Potter is just a boy, not enough to pose any threat to me. But it is undeniable that I killed his parents with my own hands, and even nearly killed him with me. Is it possible to resolve the hatred between them?" The Dark Lord did not insist on his previous attitude, but meaningfully raised an unavoidable question.

"Resolve? Who told you that I want to resolve the grievances between you?"

Zhang Cheng spread his hands playfully.

"No, what I want to say is that it is the most ideal state to let Harry Potter retain his hatred and surrender at your feet.

First of all, his existence can always remind you to be cautious and always pay attention to the betrayal from behind;

Second, don't you think it's funny that a boy full of hatred has to work for the enemy who killed his parents in order to survive?

Finally, and most importantly, Harry Potter's surrender can greatly blow the rebellious mood of the entire British wizarding community.

You have to understand that Dumbledore has been secretly promoting the greatness of Harry Potter all these years in order to set a trap.

Therefore, when the savior in people's minds knelt down to the devil, countless ordinary wizards with fragile hearts would feel unparalleled shock and despair, because their spirit and belief were broken. "

Voldemort squinted his frighteningly red eyes, as if thinking about the feasibility of this plan, and asked seriously after about three to five minutes: "How can you guarantee that Harry Potter will kneel before me and swear allegiance?" ?”

"Hehe, don't worry, you'd better complete the resurrection ceremony first. Besides, I guarantee that when you are resurrected, Harry Potter and Dumbledore will become immortal enemies, and the reason is what he always preaches Love." The corners of Zhang Cheng's mouth turned up into a sinister and evil smile.

"It sounds like a lot to look forward to! I suddenly discovered that we are simply natural allies. Whether we dislike Dumbledore's sanctimonious appearance or the thoughts in our minds, we have a lot in common."

"Maybe! Oh, I almost forgot, I have a small gift for you." As he spoke, Zhang Cheng took out the glass container filled with black mysterious substance from his magic pocket.

Seeing this, the Death Eater in charge of pushing the cart hurriedly caught it and brought it to the owner.

Voldemort raised his deformed arm and touched it lightly, his eyes immediately released a strange brilliance: "Energy! I feel powerful magical energy! What is this?"

"A product obtained by accident in the experiment, if you use it in the resurrection ceremony, the total amount of magic power stored in the body will be greatly increased." Zhang Cheng explained without panic.

"Not bad! Very good! I am very satisfied with your little gift. In return, I decided to hand over to you the theory about making Horcruxes." Voldemort grabbed his wand and pointed a silver-white stick at his head. No silk thread.

You don't need to ask, you know, as long as this silk thread storing memory is thrown into the Pensieve, you can personally experience the process of him learning how to make Horcruxes...

Chapter 762 A Complicated Soul

Horcruxes!

The unique necromancy technique of splitting one's own soul by killing in a special way is also the source of Voldemort's bold claim that he has conquered death.

However, in the original story, this magic has been simply described as cruel and evil. For this reason, Voldemort has been labeled as not knowing "love", as if he is not a human being at all, and he has no human thoughts at all. emotion.

But actually?

In fact, the Horcrux is a kind of extremely high and profound magic, which has nothing to do with good and evil at all. It is just a purpose of avoiding death by cheating the rules of death.

As for the theory, it is also very simple, that is, at the moment of killing the opponent, the person who makes the wrong judgment of the death rule is the caster himself.

In this way, the caster can be temporarily excluded from the rules of death, in a state between the living and the dead, until someone directly destroys the Horcrux, otherwise even if it is killed, it can be killed again and again. Resurrection once again.

It has to be said that the wizard who invented magic is a genius, and he has truly seen through the great power hidden under the appearance of death that mortals can hardly understand.

But the problem is that it is not an easy task to cheat the rules of death over and over again.

At least except for the Dark Lord, no one else can make more than two Horcruxes.

But he found a new way to cheat the rules of death, which is to put the target in a state of extreme pain, fear and despair before killing the target.

And these powerful negative emotions erupting before death can please the death rule, to be precise, attract the attention of the death rule, so as to complete the manufacture of the Horcrux.
