Chapter 4164 4166 [Diary Obtained]
Xiang Nan overheard the conversation between Malfoy and his son, and couldn't help but admire that the old pure-blood family was not given for nothing.
Their sense of smell is very sensitive, and they can keenly perceive the changes in power and make decisions that are beneficial to their own interests.
This is a very rare ability, and it also ensures that the Malfoy family will not fall for a thousand years.
Just like in the original book, at the end, the Malfoy family was destined to end with Voldemort.
After all, their family's identity as Death Eaters has been exposed.
Not to mention Lucius Malfoy, an old Death Eater, who escaped from prison after being imprisoned in Azkaban Prison and continued to follow Voldemort.
Draco Malfoy is not much less. Not only is he a Death Eater, he is also suspected of murdering Dumbledore, almost killing Katie Bell and Ron Weasley, and using the Imperius Curse to control Rosmerta, the owner of the Three Broomsticks.
These things are enough for them to drink a pot. But they turned the extreme, jumped ship in time at the last moment, and finally passed the liquidation of the Ministry of Magic safely.
This shows how accurately they grasped the current situation.
Compared to them, the Lestrange family was too stupid. The entire family was destroyed and buried with Voldemort.
...
Xiang Nan then sneaked into the secret room under the living room.
There were indeed many dangerous and evil items in the secret room.
Such as the magic mirror surrounded by black air, the skeleton emitting evil breath, the puppet that whispered, etc., many of which were props cast with black magic and were very deadly.
Xiang Nan searched carefully and soon found an inconspicuous diary in a box.
The cover of this diary was black, and it looked wrinkled, tattered, and inconspicuous.
When he opened it, there was no handwriting on it. Only on the first page, there was a name written in unclear ink: Tom Riddle.
Xiang Nan knew that this was one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, his diary back then.
The reason why he used this diary as his first Horcrux was because he had no other precious items at the time.
In his fifth year, he found the Chamber of Secrets left by Slytherin, summoned the sleeping basilisk, and killed Myrtle.
Because it was a malicious murder, his soul was split, and he used this opportunity to make his first Horcrux.
At that time, he was just a poor student with nothing, and this diary recorded his process of tracing his life experience, and he was also considered by him to be an important witness of his journey to find his roots.
Therefore, although the diary is ordinary, it is of great significance to Voldemort.
Xiang Nan immediately picked up the diary, used "Double Copy", copied a copy and put it back in the box.
Anyway, Lucius Malfoy didn't know that this diary was Voldemort's Horcrux. He just thought that this was an evil magic prop made by Voldemort. But he didn't know how evil it was.
So in the original book "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", he easily threw it to the Weasley family. If he hurt someone, he would take advantage. If he didn't hurt anyone, he wouldn't suffer.
Anyway, the Dark Lord was dead, and the Ministry of Magic was investigating closely, so he was unwilling to keep Voldemort's things at home.
Therefore, even if Xiang Nan replaced the diary, Lucius Malfoy would not be aware of it at all.
...
After getting the diary, Xiang Nan left Malfoy Manor, and then Apparated again to the cliff beside Saltaire Village, then jumped into the sea, passed through the crack, and came to the cave again.
This time when he came to the cave again, Xiang Nan felt obviously different, because this time he sensed the fluctuation of magic in the cave.
This means that Voldemort has been here and arranged it as a hiding place for Horcruxes.
Xiang Nan then searched in the cave and soon found an entrance covered by magic on the cave wall.
He pointed his wand at the rock. Suddenly, the outline of an arch appeared there, emitting dazzling white light, as if there was a strong light behind the crack.
Xiang Nan studied it carefully again, and then he saw the doorway of this entrance.
Yes, there is indeed a hidden door here. To open this door, you must paint the entire door with your own blood.
If you paint the entire door, it is no exaggeration to say that you will become very weak. After all, wizards do not have any advantage over ordinary people in terms of physique.
Xiang Nan is not afraid of painting blood. With his vitality, he will not become weak even if he paints the entire door, but he can't afford to paint the door.
He then used the earth escape technique to enter the cave wall, and then moved forward all the way. Soon he passed through the cave wall and came to the shore of a large black lake.
The lake is extremely wide and boundless, and you can't see the other side at all. And the cave is very high, and you can't see the top of the cave even if you look up.
In the distance, as if in the center of the lake, a hazy, green light flickered, reflected in the dead lake water below. The surroundings were completely dark and indissoluble.
Xiang Nan then jumped towards the green light. He learned the flying spell from Voldemort's soul fragment, and his speed was as fast as flying with a sword.
The only thing is that it is not as reliable as flying with a sword or riding a flying broom, and it consumes more magic power.
…
Xiang Nan quickly came to the green light and saw that it was a small island in the middle of the lake. The area was not large, only the size of a house. The island was made of flat black stone slabs, and it was empty, with only the light source that emitted the green light.
Looking closer, I saw that the light source was actually a stone basin with a base under it. The basin was filled with emerald green liquid, emitting a glittering phosphorescent light.
Xiang Nan recognized at a glance that the liquid inside was the despair poison.
This poison is very terrifying. After taking it, it will remind people of the most painful, most desperate, and most unwilling things in their hearts, making them extremely miserable and worse off than death.
The more you drink, the more pain you will suffer. And after drinking, you will be extremely thirsty. At that time, you will not be able to help but drink the water in the lake.
But Xiang Nan knew that there were infernal corpses set up by Voldemort in the lake.
Inferi are dead bodies summoned by black magic. They have no life, no soul and no thoughts. They are afraid of fire and light and like darkness and dampness.
Inferi are not difficult to be eliminated. Many fire spells can kill them. But the number of infernal corpses ambushed by Voldemort is too large, as many as hundreds of people.
Except for a few top wizards, most wizards do not have the ability to fight in groups. Those who can deal with the siege of three or four people at the same time are already top masters.
So Voldemort set up hundreds of corpses here, which became a must-kill situation, and very few people could break it.
But this does not include Xiang Nan.
He then took out a bottle of potion from the storage bag, which was the antidote he specially made for the despair poison, and poured it into the basin.
The poison in the basin, which was originally flashing with green phosphorescence, suddenly turned into a light pink.
