Head of Teaching at Hogwarts

"Slytherin, I'll make you an offer you can't refuse!"

Russell temporarily let go of his mind and kept replaying the scenes of his several experiments with the fusion nuclear explosion spell in his mind, while trying his best to connect this matter with Hogwarts.

About a tenth of a second later, Russell used Occlumency to protect his memory and soul again, and Slytherin's ghost also stopped attacking.

"Sure enough, he definitely has concerns about Hogwarts. Threatening him with Hogwarts is effective. Of course, this is based on his understanding of me and thinking that I am very likely to really destroy Hogwarts. Gwartz’s reason is that the premise of strategic deterrence is information opacity. It really makes sense.”

Russell reacted quickly in his mind. He looked at the ghost of Slytherin and thought about how to cooperate with him.

If you simply want to physically destroy the opponent, in fact, besides using the fusion nuclear explosion curse, which is almost uncontrollable, Russell has other solutions. After all, he is a person who carries a warehouse of fairy treasures with him. .

Even if he couldn't defeat the opponent directly, Russell was confident that he would wait until Dumbledore arrived.

The house elf Illidan didn't come with Russell because that's what he was doing. Russell asked him to call Dumbledore if he didn't come out after half an hour.

Together with Dumbledore, Russell launched a righteous gang fight against this ghost. Russell was still confident that he could defeat the opponent. If not, he would continue to call for help. The home field advantage would not be wasted.

But this will make it impossible to cooperate with the ghost of Slytherin. What Russell wants is to cooperate as much as possible with the ghost who claims to be Slytherin himself to obtain the research results and knowledge he has accumulated for a long time. This It is likely that Dumbledore will object.

You know, the other person may have lived for more than 1000 years, and judging from Slytherin's personality, it is very likely that he has been doing magic research for more than 1000 years.

In the magical world where knowledge is power, Slytherin's more than 1000 years of research results are of immeasurable value, and Russell attaches great importance to magical research.

"I don't believe you would do this." Ghost was the first to break the silence.

"You can try. I think you have lived for more than 1000 years, so you should understand the preciousness of life, and you should also know the price a person can pay to survive."

Russell's words seemed to speak to Ghost's mind. Through the magic detection glasses, Russell observed that the layer of green smoke on the other party's body had obviously stabilized.

"What can you give me?" Ghost said, although Russell didn't know how the other party could speak without a mouth.

"What you want is nothing more than a new body, and I guess the body you most want to get must come from your descendants.

Then I can provide you with a body from the Gaunt family, that is, the Slytherin family! "Russell knew very well that what the other party needed was a body, otherwise he wouldn't have been anxious to occupy his body from the beginning.

"I can't believe you!" The other party's reply was still very simple and straightforward.

"Then why do you believe Tom Riddle? Just because he is your descendant, I don't think you will believe him for such a simple reason." Russell asked.

"I have a copy of his soul." Russell saw the crown on the ghost's head light up, and a black shadow flashed inside, with the same magical fluctuations as Tom Riddle.

Voldemort chose Ravenclaw's diadem as a Horcrux and then placed it in the Chamber of Secrets to win the trust of the ghost of his ancestor Slattery?

It is very possible that Voldemort also learned the method of making Horcruxes from Slytherin rather than relying on the "Advanced Dark Arts Decryption" in the Hogwarts library. Of course, the greater possibility is that it is both. .

"What did he get from you?" Russell asked.

"Some magic research information, related to the soul, and part of my soul." There was still no emotion in the ghost's answer.

"I cannot accept any request that will cause the loss of my soul. Maybe we can have a purely transactional relationship. I will try to find a suitable body for you. In return, I will ask for the magic knowledge that I think is enough." Russell Er said.

Splitting souls was something Russell would never accept.

Just look at Voldemort and you will know how much damage this kind of thing can do to a wizard. Disfigurement and baldness are relatively small things. More importantly, damage to the soul will cause a wizard to lose his most precious wisdom and judgment.

In Russell's opinion, these two are countless times more important than any magic spell or knowledge.

According to the background story explained in the original plot, Voldemort, who has not split his soul, is full of wisdom, knows how to act low-key, and knows how to use various strategies to achieve his goals. He is also a good at scientific research, and is very good at Horcruxes. Several traps left behind indirectly killed Dumbledore.

Voldemort, whose soul was split, completely lost his mind and became a brainless man who only knew how to eat big melons all day long. He was fooled by the schemes left behind by Dumbledore after his death.

Russell would never want to become such a person.

Ghost said nothing to tell Russell whether he would agree or not.

Russell continued: "Are you worried that after I go out, I will find someone to come back and destroy you together? I believe that you have lived for more than 1000 years, and you must have countermeasures. After all, you are the greatest of the four giants." Russell Serge complimented calmly.

Perhaps this compliment had an effect, and Ghost began to respond to Russell again, "You are very smart, I can tell you that my existence is definitely more than this, I exist in many places, so don't try to challenge me. "

This is the same as what Russell guessed. After all, the other party has said that Voldemort has Slytherin's soul, and Russell guessed based on Ravenclaw's crown that the relics of the four giants may have been manipulated by Slytherin. Contains a Slytherin soul.

Voldemort has always been obsessed with using Slytherin's relics to make Horcruxes. In addition to his instinctive collecting habit, this may be a more reasonable explanation.

"Tell me what you have, and let's exchange information first." Russell felt that this transaction might be successful.

"About the magic of the soul, how to make your soul immortal, how to allow you to have countless souls, how to allow you to break through the limits of death, the greatness of Slytherin is definitely beyond your imagination!"
