Chapter 220 Dumbledore, I Know Voldemort’s Weaknesses
"That was literally the first time I saw a magician."
Tang Sen said calmly: "But in the pictures of the future that I have predicted, this person has appeared countless times."
"I couldn't help but be curious about what kind of person he was that would occupy such an important position in the future, so I chose a safe time point, which was when he came to the Leaky Cauldron."
Dumbledore asked quickly: "The future? What did the magician do in the future?"
Townsend shook his head and said: "Professor Dumbledore, the future is not static, especially the distant future. When I make a prediction, it may not bring good changes, but may bring another disaster. "
"So, please forgive me, I cannot reveal the future easily."
Dumbledore looked disappointed, but nodded understandingly and said, "I believe Professor Tang will make the right choice at the right time, just like the prediction you made in class last week."
"Of course." Tang Sen said: "As a diviner, I must hope that the future will move in a better direction. It is the natural responsibility of a diviner to remind everyone of the upcoming disasters and prevent evil people like the mysterious man from wreaking havoc. .”
At this point, Tang Sen paused and his face became serious: "Actually, after I made that prediction, I conducted several divination targeting the mysterious man, you know, in order to guard against his revenge."
"Then I did find something that might help you."
Dumbledore was stunned for a moment. The topic about the magician that he originally planned to continue was interrupted. He realized that the other party was deliberately changing the subject, but he really couldn't decide this topic.
So Dumbledore gave up the initiative in the conversation and asked, "What did you find?"
"The secret of You-Know-Who's immortality, Professor Dumbledore."
Dumbledore's beard twitched and his eyes became sharp.
He knew clearly that Voldemort had been resurrected, and that Voldemort at this time might not be his opponent holding the Elder Wand, but he did not directly go to trouble him because he had concerns.
Worried that Voldemort would be resurrected again, and by that time, he might be powerless to stop it.
So he has been searching for a way to kill the opponent completely. He already has some guesses, but there is no way to confirm them. What Tang Sen said at this moment is exactly what he wants to know urgently.
"Please continue, Professor Tang."
"A kind of magic, a very evil black magic." Tang Sen said slowly: "This kind of magic can split the wizard's soul into a piece, and then store it on a certain item. As long as the item is not destroyed, Then the wizard will not die completely."
"And this kind of item with a soul stored in it is usually called a Horcrux."
Dumbledore fell into deep thought and murmured: "Horcrux. So, this is the reason why Tom is not dead. It seems that the same is true for the diary from a few years ago."
"Tom Riddle's diary." Townsend said: "Yes, it is also one of the mysterious man's Horcruxes."
"One?" Dumbledore raised his head.
"The mysterious man was not satisfied with splitting his soul just once. He tried splitting it seven times. Of course, splitting the soul was not without cost. In the process, his face became more and more distorted, and his emotions became more and more distorted. The colder it gets, the crazier his spirit becomes.”
"He sacrificed his own sanity in exchange for immortality."
"So, Tom created seven Horcruxes." Dumbledore's face became solemn: "In other words, unless all seven Horcruxes are destroyed, he will not be completely killed."
"That's right." Tang Sen nodded: "He hid those Horcruxes in the place he thought was the safest. Even I can't divine all their locations."
Dumbledore's eyes lit up.
"Professor Tang, that means you know at least the location of some of the Horcruxes?"
"Yes, Professor Dumbledore." Townsend said: "I know where they are, but I don't have the ability to get them."
He sighed and said: "After all, I am just a diviner. I have no power to fight against the mysterious man, let alone destroy those Horcruxes."
"This is my responsibility, Professor Tang." Dumbledore said with relief: "Fighting evil is not something that one person can accomplish. Your divination has played a vital role, even far more important than strength."
He asked impatiently: "Where are they? I mean, what are they?"
"Voldemort believes that ordinary items are not worthy of becoming his Horcruxes." Tang Sen replied: "So, except for the destroyed diary, his other Horcruxes are all very famous items in the magic world."
"The only ones I've divined are two Horcruxes."
"The first one is the ancestral ring of the Gunter family."
Dumbledore was stunned again and murmured: "The Gaunt family? I remember that the blood of this family flows in Tom."
He was lost in thought, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Professor Tang, I remembered some past events."
"At that time, I was the one who took Tom out of the orphanage and brought him to Hogwarts. Unfortunately, I was wrong and did not notice the evil thoughts in his heart, which led to so many tragedies. "
"Where is that ring?"
"It's hidden in the old house of the Gaunt family." Tang Sen said this, and suddenly said: "Actually, when I was divining this Horcrux, I had an unexpected gain."
"In addition to being the mysterious man's Horcrux, that ring also has a more profound origin—"
Tang Sen paused for a moment, "Inlaid on it is one of the legendary Deathly Hallows, the Resurrection Stone."
Dumbledore stood up suddenly: "Are you sure?"
"If my divination results have not been interfered with, I am sure." Tang Sen spread his hands and said: "In fact, this does not need to be too surprising. In my opinion, the Resurrection Stone obviously does not bring people back to life as in the legend. Ability, otherwise, I don’t think the mysterious man would need to go through all the trouble to make a Horcrux.”
"It's enough for him to just use the Resurrection Stone."
He continued: "I saw the Resurrection Stone in the hands of the magician from the picture in the future. Now it seems that he has not got the Resurrection Stone yet. However, when I tell you the location of the Resurrection Stone, in the future It has changed, and maybe the Resurrection Stone will never fall into his hands again.”
Dumbledore did not reply to Townsend's words. He seemed a little uneasy and even began to pace in the room unconsciously.
"Professor Dumbledore?"
It wasn't until Tang Sen reminded him that he came back to his senses.
"I'm sorry. I'm remembering some past events again." He showed a look of imperceptible sadness: "You are right, there is no stone in the world that can bring people back to life. I...I was a little bit out of control."
"I will find out where Gunter's old house is, and I will try to destroy this Horcrux."
He took a deep breath, sat back on the sofa, and asked, "So, where is the second Horcrux?"
"the second one"
Townsend hesitated and said, "I don't know whether I should tell you, Professor Dumbledore."
"This Horcrux is very special."
"If it weren't for some coincidence, I would never have discovered the existence of this Horcrux. I mean, I might be the first person in the world to know the existence of this Horcrux."
"The first one?" Dumbledore noticed the word.
"That's right." Tang Sen said: "Even the mysterious man himself doesn't know the existence of this Horcrux."
The corners of his mouth drooped, showing a sad look, and he said: "That is not an object, Professor Dumbledore, that is a person, a living person."
Dumbledore was shocked, and some bad guesses emerged in his mind.
He opened his mouth and said with a slight pause: "Can humans also be made into Horcruxes?"
"Obviously, under certain coincidences, yes." Tang Sen sighed: "For example, when a mysterious man uses a powerful spell, but under the protection of an ancient magic, he kills himself instead, so his soul Split, united with his purpose.”
Dumbledore stayed where he was, his usually calm eyes now full of shock.
"you--"
His voice became hoarse.
"Professor Tang, what you are talking about is——"
"That's right, Professor Dumbledore." Townsend said in a low voice: "What I'm talking about is the Boy Who Lived, a student of Hogwarts. He is your student and also my student."
"Harry Potter."
