An infinite journey that begins at Hogwarts

"I have no past, I will become the past, no one has seen me, no one will see me, but I am the mystery of people living and breathing."

"Tomorrow, Sphinx," Cedric replied, "You should take a look at the brain teasers I bought you. Your riddles have long been out of date."

"Okay, but those Eastern characters are a bit too difficult. Even I need to spend a lot of time to master them."

Sitting in front of Cedric was a huge sphinx. This magical animal was always happy to guess riddles. The Sphinx said that it was smuggled over from Egypt by a pure-blood wizard. He wanted to To serve as the family's caretaker, but the Department for the Control of Magical Creatures intercepted the smuggling.

During this winter vacation, Cedric quickly became a good friend with him. This magical animal that likes to guess riddles has a distinct weakness.

If you give it a riddle that it can't figure out, you can ask it to do something for you.

The collection of brain teasers in Chinese is undoubtedly Cedric's magic weapon to win. Even a magical creature born for riddles is not easy to master a new language, let alone all kinds of weird brain teasers.

The population of Muggles is tens of thousands times greater than that of wizards.

"Sphinx, I'm going to school." Cedric said to the Sphinx who was flipping through books.

The Sphinx was stunned. After all, Cedric brought a lot of fun to it, and even Perik couldn't compare with it.

"Will you come back?" the Sphinx said with hope.

"Of course, I will come back to see you during the summer vacation." This is an excellent place to harvest wool, how could Cedric give up.

After hearing the answer he wanted, the Sphinx breathed a sigh of relief and said proudly, "When you come back, I will win back all the feathers I lost."

The Sphinx raised the brain teaser in his hand.

Every time the Sphinx loses, Cedric's request is for one of its feathers. The Sphinx's feathers are widely used in alchemy, as a symbol of mystery, and have many uses such as hidden wisdom and knowledge.

"Go and say hello to the others, don't stop me from reading." After saying that, the Sphinx took the initiative to spit out an orb, "This is the bet."

As the guardian animal of ancient Egyptian treasures, the Sphinx had its own collection, which even the wizard who captured it didn't know.

Cedric unexpectedly took the orb spit out by the Sphinx, which was an unexpected surprise.

Cedric didn't expect to gain anything today. After all, he had collected enough sphinx feathers during the summer vacation, enough for him to make several powerful magic items.

And the Sphinx's wings were about to be shaved off by him, Perik had complained several times.

"This is"

"Beads of wisdom, the wearer can slowly increase their wisdom." Sphinx replied.

Good thing, Cedric immediately equipped himself, and at the same time clicked on his attribute panel. 3 appeared behind intelligence, and there was also an upward arrow.

It wasn't the most powerful magic item Cedric had ever seen, but it was definitely the most useful.

After bidding farewell to the Sphinx, Cedric went to say goodbye to several magical animals that could communicate, and more or less for Peric's sake, he received some gifts in return.

Finally, he reluctantly took a look at Thunderbird's house. The most powerful magical animal Cedric had ever seen was still the same as before. Even Peric was just a keeper, not a friend.

So not being able to harvest wool from this powerful magical animal has become one of Cedric's regrets. Fortunately, the future is long.

Back home, on the simple alchemy table, there are pieces of pure white feathers piled up, with ancient magical riddles written on them using magic potions.

"There is only one last step left." Cedric carefully picked up the sphinx feathers that had been processed one by one, and used the refined mithril silk to weave them into a bracelet.

After completing the last step, this magical item was finally made successfully.

The Sphinx's mysterious bracelet is the first alchemical item that Cedric refined himself, and according to standards, it should be regarded as a high-quality magic item.

The refining materials include: Sphinx feathers won by answering riddles, twenty-two ancient alchemical riddles, pure mithril threads

The wool harvested from the Sphinx, in addition to its magical feathers, is also of great value in these ancient alchemical riddles.

These riddles, which are metaphors for the original alchemy of the world, are themselves rich in hidden power.

Cedric looked at the feather bracelet with satisfaction. Like other alchemists, he imprinted his own magic mark and a message on it.

Your secret is being protected.

Although this bracelet cannot increase specific attributes, it can interfere with prophecy magic and detection magic.

And Legilimency is exactly this type of magic.

Yes, Cedric really has no way to improve his Occlumency in a short time without being taught by anyone, but with this mysterious bracelet of the Sphinx and the level 2 Occlumency, he is confident Able to resist the charm of the Horcrux, the Ravenclaw Diadem.

Grandpa Voldemort, here I come.

As soon as he returned to Hogwarts, Cedric couldn't wait to go to the Room of Requirement. After all, he had too many confusions about magic that needed a magic master to answer.

But these questions involving black magic, Cedric will not ask the professors at Hogwarts to death, he will continue to ensure that his glorious character, how can he become the same as Voldemort because of a small amount of black magic? Where is the lost boy?

Cedric had already used modern psychology to profile Voldemort before.

This Muggle technology is no worse than Legilimency to a certain extent, and can even understand you better than you do.

The first is the production of Horcruxes. After dividing the soul, Horcruxes will not damage the intelligence, but will amplify the shortcomings of their character, which is equivalent to a decrease in sanity.

The divided Horcrux will not improve itself as the person changes, and the soul inside will always remain in the same state as when it was divided.

And when did Voldemort divide the Ravenclaw diadem?

It was on the eve of his graduation that a major event occurred, which marked the break between him and Dumbledore.

When Dumbledore rejected Voldemort's position as Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Voldemort, who liked to teach others, even angrily cast an unsolvable curse.

Therefore, at this time, the biggest weakness of Voldemort's Horcrux in Ravenclaw's diadem is his desire to be a teacher, not to dominate the world.

In Eastern terms, it is obsession or inner demons.

As long as I can play the role of a pure-blood mage who is obsessed with exploring black magic and tirelessly pursues power, I believe that I can satisfy Ravenclaw's obsession with Horcruxes.

This is simply a true performance.

The wool must be smoothed along.

Well, Voldemort is an excellent teacher of the dark arts, Cedric thought to himself.
