Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Chapter 90: The Undead Monarch

In addition, the Resurrection Stone also records countless ancient magics—

The English spell, the ancient Egyptian curse, the Mayan elegy, the Chinese talisman...

Cadmus basically recorded everything that had anything to do with death in the Resurrection Stone, and did not favor any one over the other based on their power.

The Resurrection Stone is like an endless storage hard drive. Even for Anriel, now the master of the Resurrection Stone, it will take him a long time to learn all the spells.

Finally, the ultimate power of the Resurrection Stone -

Drive away the dead and protect the living.

The Resurrection Stone was never made for the dead.

These are two completely different, yet inseparable abilities.

The souls summoned from history by the Resurrection Stone will retain all their abilities in life - including all their wisdom and judgment.

But in the final analysis, they are still undead.

Anriel experienced this deeply when he "resurrected" Regulus. He had tried it once, so he had a deeper understanding of the ability of the Resurrection Stone.

When the Resurrection Stone reshapes the bodies of these undead souls, it will engrave a harmless method - this makes the order of the Lord of the Resurrection Stone the highest will that these immortal souls absolutely cannot disobey.

From this point of view, it looks a bit like a house-elf, doesn't it?

Of course, resurrecting the dead is an absolute taboo.

Eternal life is a painful curse...

The time generated by the resurrected dead will always be imposed on the owner of the resurrection stone at a hundred times the length:

Regulus was 18 years old when he died, and his death happened 14 years ago...

Anriel will be forced to live another 3,200 years...

Who has nothing to do with this? (Throwing the cup)

......

The only immortal undead monarch in the world, he will be spurned by "death" itself and will be stranded in the human world forever.

This is where the power of "protecting the living" comes from:

The Lord of the Dead can share his own "time" with his "believers", allowing them to also enjoy an "eternal curse" that can end at any time.

And once immortality becomes controllable and is no longer truly "forever", it becomes an almost irresistible temptation and gift.

Cadmus had taken everything into account.

Perhaps, when Cadmus was studying the Resurrection Stone to the last moment, he felt a little...

What about the fear of one's own creation?

Humans are indeed a species that excels at making weapons that they cannot control...

All the power of the undead was taken back into Anriel's body.

The grey hair turned back to its original blond colour, and the dead grey eyes also turned back to their original colour.

The dry ground, the rotten clothes... everything returned to its original state, as if what had just happened was just an illusory illusion.

He is already the monarch of the dead.

......

Anriel took a step forward, stepped into the space crack, and left here.

Although it looked no different from the outside, Anriel knew very well that... the inside of this land was "dead".

It will gradually turn into desert over the next period of time, lose all nutrients, and be unable to retain water... and eventually disappear in the wind.

......

The edge of the forbidden forest.

Xenophilius scratched his messy silver hair, frowning.

Luna sat backwards on Nightmare's back, looking at her father's face in confusion, the anxious look she hadn't seen in many years.

Then... Luna only saw her father's brows relax again.

It was as if the worry just now was just an illusion.

It seems like he has sensed something? Or maybe it's some mysterious connection.

Luna turned around and exclaimed in delight.

Anriel stood across from the Nightmare.

The girl jumped off her horse and ran towards her lover.

"Luna."

Anriel held Luna in his arms, and Nightmare gently rubbed his head against his master's waist, showing an absolute closeness -

Lord of the Resurrection Stone, Lord of the Undead...

The attraction to the Night Thestrals, the beasts of death, has exceeded certain limits.

"Mr. Lovegood, it's all right now... It seems that I was lucky to succeed."

Anriel made a face and laughed twice.

Xenophilius responded with an exaggerated, relieved expression, and turned back into the weird and jumpy old man.

"Haha...it's really a harvest far beyond my expectations."

Anriel sighed, helped Luna steady herself on Nightmare's back, and then he turned over and sat astride her.

Anriel, who had just solved the last problem of the resurrection stone, was in a good mood. He also wanted to go out for a walk and get some fresh air.

"Let's take off!"

(Wanhao baring his teeth.jpg)

Anriel's mood and instructions were well conveyed to Nightmare, and suddenly, a black arrow broke through the air.

Anriel put his arms around Luna's waist, and the latter leaned back hard, trying to shrink herself into his arms, letting out a scream of excitement.

It's a bit like riding a tower jump...

The Nightmare made another dive.

Okay, now it's a roller coaster.

Just now it was a carousel, now it’s a bungee jumping machine and a roller coaster.

Nightmare, you are so powerful, check out the mobile amusement park.

After landing, Luna jumped off Nightmare's back first and punched Anriel's calf twice angrily.

But she still looked quite excited.

It has the sour smell of a young couple's flirting love.

After looking around, Anriel didn't see Xenophilius...he thought he must have returned to the castle first.

After all, as a father, when he sees his daughter flirting with her boyfriend, even if he can't beat her, he will have the urge to hit her...

At the same time, on the other side...

......

Principal's room.

"Dumbledore, old friend."

Serophilius leaned back in the armchair, his head resting on his left hand, his white hair spread out and falling naturally, not much different from Dumbledore's, but giving a completely different feeling.

"What's wrong, Xenophilius?"

In front of Dumbledore was an open tome.

"This child of yours...has known it, has understood it, and has done it."

Xenophilius said nonchalantly.

"I know."

Dumbledore responded.

The two fell into silence.

Then at this moment, the door of the principal's office gently opened...

"What are you two talking about?"

Anriel appeared outside the door, but Luna was not by his side.

Xenophilius let out a long sigh as if expressing emotion.

"Well, let me repeat my question a while ago."

Anriel walked in with a smile and closed the door behind him.

Then he snapped his fingers.

All the portraits in the principal's office were covered by curtains hanging from the top of the frames.

"You two have known each other for a long time, right?"
