Undoubtedly, Salazar Slytherin once owned the ring and the Resurrection Stone.
He is also very proficient in the method of making Horcruxes, the magic created by the humble Haibo.
Considering Slytherin's experience, it can be said that there is no one in this world who knows more about this magic than Hai Erbo himself.
Because of Ivan, Salazar Slytherin already knew about Voldemort's existence.
At the same time, he also knows his descendants, and it is possible that the last descendants eventually become evil dark wizards and make Horcruxes.
When these factors are combined, things are no longer so simple.
With Slytherin's personality, it's hard to imagine that he would do nothing and leave everything to Ivan and Dumbledore.
Just like the other three founders, he left a secret treasure to Ivan.
In particular, Aiwen is not a pure-blood, which is what he dislikes the most...
Slytherin may have expected that Voldemort would find the ring, so he used the characteristics of the resurrection stone to leave a magic in it, split Riddle's soul, and help him make a special Horcrux...
This idea suddenly appeared in Ivan's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it was, but it was a bit unbelievable.
The biggest problem here is the difficulty of doing this. For normal wizards, this is as impossible as it is impossible.
But in terms of Salazar Slytherin's own abilities, this is hardly a problem.
For him, there is no problem of not being able to do it, the key is whether he wants to do it or not!
Although there is no direct evidence, Ivan can be sure that Slytherin will not give up this opportunity.
Following this line of thought, suppose that this magic is left by him. He uses the characteristics of the ring, the resurrection stone and the Horcrux to split the souls of Riddle, or more precisely, the descendants who meet the various conditions he left behind, and help this man. Later generations made a Horcrux.
This possibility is very high, the question now is, what is his purpose in doing this?
It is impossible for Slytherin to simply help his descendants make Horcruxes and help them become more depraved and evil. He must have his own purpose.
In other words, the Horcrux in front of him was unusual for 15-year-old Tom Riddle.
How unusual this guy is, Ivan can't see it. In his eyes, Riddle is a young man with a bad personality, and very dangerous. He is good at disguising and seducing others, no different from the one he once came into contact with in the diary.
Maybe the only difference is that he's not that evil yet, because he hasn't killed anyone...
Maybe, he didn't do it not because he didn't want to do it, but because he didn't have the opportunity.
Before killing his own father with his own hands, he would have been split.
In a sense, Salazar Slytherin did save him.
Is this what Slytherin thought of saving his offspring before the fate was about to begin?
After a short silence, Dumbledore asked calmly, "Tom, what happened after you became a Horcrux?"
I don't know if he has thought about what Ivan thought just now, or has thoughts that are closer to the truth.
"You already know that, don't you?" Riddle said, smiling again on his face. "After I split off, he woke up again, and then killed him with that wand without hesitation, as planned. That man, put the blame on..."
"No, I mean what was he thinking, what was he thinking?" said Dumbledore.
"Thoughts?!" Riddle was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened slightly, as if he was very surprised by Dumbledore's question.
"Yes, is it pain, sadness, or excitement?"
"I don't know!" said Riddle honestly. "I don't know what he's thinking."
"As far as I know, there is a connection between the Horcrux and the main soul." Dumbledore said, "You can definitely feel his emotions."
"I've never felt this way before." Riddle had an expression of reminiscence on his face, shaking his head slightly, "There's nothing to hide, and now I wish to break up with him so that you can let me go. In short, After being separated from the soul, I can no longer feel the feelings and thoughts of the main soul. It can be said that although we are the same person, we are two different souls with completely independent thoughts. I am here On the one hand, it has nothing to do with him at all, and this is what makes me different from other Horcruxes, there must be something wrong with the Death God's magic, that's not the normal way to make Horcruxes..."
Ivan frowned, which was really strange, and it was one of the unusual things about this guy.
According to his research on horcruxes, the soul fragments in horcruxes are split from the main soul, possessing all the memories, feelings, and thoughts of the main soul, acting according to a specific trajectory, and have a connection with the main soul, Can feel each other.
Because of this, Harry can use the soul fragments in his head to know what Voldemort is thinking.
Because Voldemort has split his soul too many times, his main soul has become extremely chaotic, and unless under certain circumstances, he has no ability to communicate with other Horcruxes, but as the number of Horcruxes decreases, he will find out sooner or later .
It can be said that whether it is the main soul or the soul fragments are the same subject, there is only a difference between the main and the secondary.
But the Riddle and Voldemort in front of him are two completely different subjects, which is abnormal.
Without that connection, is he still a Horcrux? !
The only way to verify this is to destroy all Horcruxes and Voldemort except him.
If he still exists at that time, it will really prove that he has been completely independent from the main soul and has nothing to do with Voldemort.
It is too difficult, dangerous, and uncertain to achieve this. If Ivan sees it, it is better to just eliminate him.
Defeating Voldemort bit by bit according to the original plan, instead of such unexpected changes.
He looked at Dumbledore, who was looking intently, and sighed.
Sure enough, the headmaster decided not to do that.
As long as there is a ten-thousandth possibility, he will try to save this Tom Riddle and find out the truth.
Of course, this is under the condition that everything is still under control. If the matter is out of control, he will definitely destroy this Horcrux immediately without hesitation.
"It's very strange, so what were you thinking at the time?" Dumbledore continued, "After seeing your mother, and when you saw him kill your father with your own eyes?"
"No particular idea, I'd love to do it, it's the man's fault," Riddle said.
"Very good!" Dumbledore seemed to have got the answer he wanted, and did not continue to ask.
He nodded slowly, as if thinking about something.
Chapter 1089
Dumbledore seemed satisfied with Riddle's answer, which was strange, what's there to be satisfied with? !
Although there are other reasons behind this, isn't it dangerous for him to want to kill his father himself?
Even if Riddle in front of him didn't do anything in the end, but just had this idea, he was already very dangerous and evil.
Ivan was a little confused, and so was Riddle.
Although still expressionless, he became visibly more vigilant, looking at Dumbledore cautiously.
"Professor, do you have any other questions?" he asked in a very polite tone.
He was still wearing the Hogwarts school uniform and robes, and his tone was just right, without being abrupt and arousing the disgust of others.
How should I put it, Riddle like this is really cute.
He was like a good student humbly asking Dumbledore a question, not the evil and terrible Dark Lord.
This is exactly the case with 15-year-old Riddle, who tricked everyone with this trick!
"One more question!" Dumbledore said gently, "You told Ivan just now that you disapprove of him making many Horcruxes, so you know that he is going to make many Horcruxes, so what do you think he is going to do? How many pieces will be made in the end?"
"That's what he intends. He thinks that the more times the soul is split and the more thorough it is, the stronger he will be. There is no evidence to prove this, but there are countless facts that prove that splits will make the soul unstable." Riddle said, "So I didn't approve of him doing it, but it didn't work. My advice didn't go through with him. In fact, after I was split, he seemed to become more evil, more pure evil, More thorough evil, there are many things that he only thought about before, but he can already do it without any scruples."
Ivan frowned, and Riddle seemed to be suggesting to them that after he was split, Voldemort became more evil and became the real Voldemort.
That is, he probably took all the positive thoughts out of Voldemort's soul.
This guy really did everything he could to get Dumbledore to let him go.
Ivan was not sure if he was telling the truth, but it was enough to make him and Dumbledore hesitate!
When they were ready to destroy him, they couldn't help but think, maybe this is a good Voldemort, a 15-year-old boy with the positive emotions that Dumbledore valued, and even love...
It's really scary, as long as they have such a slight hesitation, Riddle's goal will be achieved!
Very ingenious suggestion, direct and effective, and it is difficult to tell the truth from the false. This guy really understands human nature.
"You just need to answer the questions honestly!" Ai Wen said disgustedly, "Don't always talk nonsense."
"Of course!" Riddle said politely, "Since it is mentioned the number of Horcruxes he will choose in the end, I think seven is a very good number. Similarly, this number has the most magical power. If he still knows... "
"Very good!" Dumbledore said with satisfaction.
"In that case, I told everything, Professor!" Riddle said humbly, still using that appropriate tone, "I don't know how you feel? Will you choose to forgive me? Give it to you again Student a chance?"
"Professor!" Ivan suggested, "I think it's better to destroy it directly!"
Although this Horcrux provided them with a lot of valuable information tonight, it was very surprising.
But he was Tom Riddle after all, the boy Voldemort, and it was too dangerous to let him go like this!
And Ivan has an intuition that this guy in front of him is more dangerous than the current Voldemort.
Although he is only a part of the soul, he maintains his sanity and is completely independent.
Voldemort's powerful place is not his magical power, but his wisdom and demagogic power.
Although the contact time was not long, Ivan clearly felt this from this guy.
"I don't have any power now. If I don't provide me with magic power, I can't even maintain this fragile form!" Riddle said pitifully, "I am completely under your control. Such me, you Will you be afraid?"
"Even in the face of you, the most powerful, we will not be afraid." Ivan said disdainfully, "But you are a Horcrux!"
"A special horcrux, Ivan, I heard the professor call you that just now, it should be your name, don't you mind if I call you that?" Without waiting for Ivan to answer, Riddle continued, "You I have also heard what I said before, and now I am completely independent from the main soul, and there is no connection between us."
"I understand the magic of Horcruxes. As long as you continue to exist, Voldemort is unkillable."
"I don't have any connection with him. The connection here includes the connection in life." Riddle continued, "Of course, I know what you guys want to do. If you give me a chance, I will prove that there is a real connection between myself and the main soul." There is no connection, whether you can eliminate me or not has no effect on your plans, as long as you give me time, I will prove it to you.”
"But your existence itself is an evil." Ivan said stubbornly.
"Evil?!" Riddle said, his body was getting lighter and lighter, and it seemed that he might disappear at any moment, "I don't understand, what is evil about me? Evil things can split the soul, but I am not born like that , I didn’t do anything, I was split from the main soul by an inexplicable god of death, and I was locked in a cabinet for half a century, and now you suddenly appear, saying that I am evil, and that you want to destroy me, it’s really funny, No matter how you look at it, I'm the victim..."
If everything was as he said, Tom Riddle in front of him was indeed wronged.
This is another essential difference between him and other Horcruxes, he was not made by killing people.
From this point of view, he is really a special Horcrux, not such an evil Horcrux.
Coupled with the fact that he was independent of Voldemort's main soul, then they really had no reason to destroy him.
This feeling is like killing a 15-year-old boy for no reason, but this boy is Voldemort in his youth.
If they chose to let him go, who knew what he would become, would he become Voldemort again? !
It's hard to say, and Ivan has no specific answer.
If he had to answer, he could only say that Dumbledore has changed a lot now compared to half a century ago.
If he was given a chance to become Tom Riddle again, perhaps everything would really change...
Chapter 1090 The Dream of the Desperate
"The power of those few drops of blood is about to be exhausted, Professor, I'm waiting for your decision." Riddle said confidently, as if he had already determined what Dumbledore would do, "Oh, yes, I hope you take the ring away When I go to school, I can take the photo of my parents with me, it is the only one left, it is very commemorative."
He bowed to Dumbledore, his misty body swayed again, and then disappeared from the air.
"Excellent, isn't it?" Dumbledore said softly, walking to the front of the cabinet, "This is 15-year-old Tom Riddle, exactly as I remember him, he is the smartest student I have ever seen, and he is good at controlling people's hearts , He knows how to please you just right, will not bore you, and knows exactly what you need, subtly meet your needs, and then get what he needs."
"It's also dangerous!" Ivan said.
"Yes, but it is also very dangerous. Power that is too powerful needs to be controlled by a more powerful mind." Dumbledore said, "Unfortunately, Riddle's mind is not as strong as his power. He has many differences. He is greedy and cruel, and sinks deeper and deeper in the quagmire of black magic. There are also reasons for this. For a long time, Hogwarts only taught students how to use magic and ignored other aspects of education."
"Professor, do you believe what he said?" Ivan asked.
"I don't think he lied to us, these things are in his favor, he doesn't need to risk telling lies."
"So he is a special Horcrux, a Horcrux that has independence and has nothing to do with Voldemort?" Ivan paused, and continued to ask, "Is that still a Horcrux? This has something to do with a new soul. What's the difference?"
"If everything is as he says, there will be no difference." Dumbledore said simply, looking at the photo with interest, "He is just Tom Riddle, Tom Riddle of fifteen, an ambitious, A Slytherin student with ideas and strength, not the Voldemort we know!"
"But they are the same person, and Voldemort is his future!" Ivan said.
"The complete splitting of the soul and independence means that he will not be affected by the main soul, and can make decisions independently. There are many uncertainties in his future, and it is possible to grow into whatever he is. Voldemort is just one of the possibilities." Dumbledore said, "Of course, there are still many things waiting for us to verify. Fortunately, we still have a chance. Similarly, there is enough time. The situation is not so bad that a decision must be made immediately."
Ivan blinked, not knowing what to say, Dumbledore seemed determined to trust each other again.
What impact will a restarted Tom Riddle bring to the world?
In a sense, this incident is no less than the appearance of the evil god, and even has a greater impact on the future of the magic world.
If there is enough energy support, Riddle can come out of the ring and gain a body, no different from a normal person.
"Look at this photo, it's full of tear stains, it was torn and glued again, this is probably the expression of his ambivalence." Dumbledore said, picked up the photo in the drawer, "Like an ordinary Like a little boy, he tried to hide his feelings for his mother and the fact that he had cried, which may make him feel ashamed, but this is just a manifestation of his independent soul, Voldemort will not have this kind of contradiction of."
"Shame?!"
