Chapter 863 R. A. B
Compared with the locket that Alan took out before that really belonged to Salazar Slytherin himself, this one is neither as big, nor lacks the pattern logo, nor does it have the gorgeous "s" logo unique to Slytherin , the locket popped open, revealing nothing but a folded piece of parchment crammed tightly in place of the portrait.
Allen took out the parchment, quickly scanned the writing on it, looked up to Sirius and the others and said, "This is the last handwriting of Regulus."
Hermione, who was beside Alan, took the note, smoothed the wrinkles with her hands, spread it on the pedestal, and read the words on it: "To the Dark Lord
I'm dead before you read this
But I want you to know that I discovered your secret.
I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as possible.
I risk my life in the hope that you will be killed when you meet your opponent.
R. A. B"
After reading, Hermione looked at this note with a look of admiration in her eyes: "Regulus is probably the first person to discover that the mysterious man made a Horcrux, and he risked his death in exchange for the real Horcrux. Horcruxes, this Slytherin has the bravery of Gryffindor and the wisdom of Ravenclaw."
"I was so wrong, Regulus." Sirius slammed his fist on the stone basin, the annoyance and guilt surging in his heart became more and more violent, and he regretted endlessly, "I know that you sacrificed yourself to fight against the mysterious man , but I didn’t expect it to be to destroy one of his Horcruxes. I used to call you an idiot, but in fact it’s me who is ignorant, and you are a hero.”
"Stupid old Kreacher... What did Kreacher do? Master Regulus was really fighting against the Dark Lord. Kreacher made a mistake... Kreacher is a fool!" just now Kreacher heard Hermione After reading the note, he went to the base of the stone platform in disbelief to confirm the writing on it.
Before that, Kreacher had never believed what Allen said that Regulus went to the cave to drink the venom to fight against the Dark Lord. I don't know, I thought Allen and the others were deceiving themselves. Until now when he saw the note with his own eyes and confirmed the writing on it, he stood still as if struck by lightning.
"Idiot, now you know how stupid you were to expose the information to my stupid lunatic cousin." Sirius glanced at Kreacher contemptuously, and the mocking tone of Sirius who was in pain and remorse seemed to be Even harsher.
"Kreacher actually did something contrary to Master Regulus' goal..." Kreacher, who was immersed in regret and pain, did not reprimand Sirius. He recalled what he had done, regretted deeply, and burst into tears. When he got to the ground, he beat the ground desperately, and his gray teeth were exposed to the air because of howling.
"Kreacher, don't hurt yourself." Hearing Kreacher's desperate soliloquy, Allen glanced up at Kreacher and saw his tears slipping down his big nose again, and his gray teeth were opened. Crying and being exposed to the air, before Hermione could react and before the elf made any violent moves, Allen gave the order first, and then complained to Sirius, "I think Hermione just said It is very clear that there is also a reason for your own attitude towards it. Since you have never regarded Kreacher as a creature with the same sensitive emotions as humans, then you did not expect it to do anything because of these emotions Yes, that is the price you should pay yourself."
And following his command, the elf stood stiffly on the spot and howled, but did not make any movements to hurt himself.
"Horcruxes are the most evil black magic items in the world." Sirius didn't say much to Alan's accusation. He made a judgment and knew that Alan, who had obtained the collection of the Black family, knew about it even if he didn't know about it through other means. He also learned from the collection of books in his family, so he tried to use this to change the subject, "I noticed that the original piece of yours looks basically intact,
But you can't feel any evil power in it, which means that you have destroyed it and fulfilled Regulus' last wish? Part of the soul of the mysterious person it was injected into is gone? "
"Yes, but I have some bad news to tell you. The mysterious man didn't just make one horcrux. In fact, I have already destroyed three of his horcruxes." The news of one of the Horcruxes told Sirius, but he still added an additional sentence, "I have cooperated with Dumbledore before, and the specific number and what it is are still being investigated..."
"Master Allen... Can Kreacher understand that you have destroyed the locket that Master Regulus wanted Kreacher to destroy?" Usually the whole person is one size smaller, "But...it looks very intact?"
"Kreacher, the mysterious man's soul has been destroyed from Slytherin's locket. It is no longer a Horcrux." Klitschwin said, "That's why Regulus asked you to do this."
"The task Regulus entrusted to you, the task of destroying it by any means, you have already completed, Kreacher..." Hermione understood the inner thoughts of the ugly house elf in front of her, and said softly. This result was affirmed for him.
After a roar with a completely distorted voice, the aging Kreacher walked over at a brisk pace that was completely inconsistent with his age, and finally fell down and crawled on the ground because of the excitement. Before everyone came, they were worried. Before that, he scrambled and moved himself in front of Alan, imitating the performance of the Death Eaters when facing the Dark Lord, trying to kiss Alan's boots, but his tears, nose, and saliva covered the other's foot .
"Stop it! Kreacher." Allen took two steps back, and with a slight cleanliness, he hastily cleaned himself up before shouting to the house elf who was ordered to stay where he was, "Don't get excited... You can rest by yourself."
"Kreacher thought that in this life... thought that he would never be able to fulfill Master Regulus' order...but Kreacher's new owner destroyed it! Kreacher did not disappoint Master Regulus!" Kreacher obediently stopped Trying to kiss Allen's leather boots, after trying to polish the boots for the new owner and being shrunk by the other party, the heavy stone that had been pressing on his chest for many years felt overturned, but suddenly The sense of unreality caused Kreacher to turn over and lie on the ground. He turned his back to the sky, his eyes looked at the stone wall above his head in a daze, and he completed the task that he dreamed of accomplishing in his life. He lost his life goal and didn't know what else he should do. , which makes him look older.
Hermione looked at the house-elf with some concern, as if she was worried that it might die at any moment.
Sirius didn't make any sarcasm just now, but looking at Hermione's appearance, he couldn't help but mutter: "Don't worry about it, this troublesome old thing doesn't die so easily, maybe he'll still be alive after I die!"
"Cough... In a sense, this is true..." Allen, who briefly recalled the original fate of Sirius, shook his head, "You'd better not underestimate the power of language and make such predictions, you know that I am also mysterious Fate can be changed for the silent people in the Department of Affairs, but they will always reveal some information to you inadvertently, so it is better for you to say less about these things... Don't put on this expression that thinks I am superstitious , the mysterious person also believes in it, doesn’t he?”
"Speaking of which, the mysterious man, the lunatic, doesn't he know that the soul should be kept intact, and splitting it is an evil act against nature?! As long as the soul is split, it will become extremely unstable, let alone many times! Because of this, most dark wizards are unwilling to make horcruxes, they are more willing to go to death happily..." Sirius was surprised by the crazy behavior of the mysterious man, but after noticing that Allen really knew horcruxes very well, he was worried about the bad boy in front of him. He thought he would try it this time, trying to warn Allen that they should not try, "Well, no wonder the mysterious man seems to be getting more and more crazy. When he was young, he was said to be a charming man. Fine, but what I can't understand is that he doesn't care about this kind of hidden danger at all?"
"Harry told me that Dumbledore also destroyed a Horcrux, which belonged to Marvolo Gaunt's ring in the mother's family of You-Know-Who..." Hermione spoke, and her voice sounded like the meaning contained in it. The feelings are a bit complicated, "As for the hidden dangers...Harry told me that although the mysterious man's mother came from the ancient Gaunt family, she died shortly after the mysterious man was born. The mysterious man was the head of the Muggle orphans. Big ones, no different from ordinary Muggle-born wizards... Even the Horcrux itself is a mysterious person. I learned about it from the black magic books that were still in the restricted area when I was a student, and learned about it from the knowledgeable Horace · When Professor Slughorn inquired, Professor Slughorn revealed to him some secrets about the Horcrux out of his love for him... so I think the origin of the mysterious man made him not Didn't know the danger... and then he didn't care anymore."
"Mysterious man's background has indeed limited his development to a great extent..." Allen agreed, "Mysterious man is also dismissive of the behavior of house elves, just like a purebred wizard who treats elves as animals . . . but the difference is that it would never occur to him or bother to understand that these elves might have magic that he didn't."
