Chapter 1087: The Legend of the Three Brothers
Having said that, Riddle suddenly paused.
He seemed a little hesitant, not sure whether to tell the next thing, which was related to his biggest secret.
But the situation in front of him clearly told him that he had no other choice.
"Then, he asked my name." A few seconds later, Riddle continued, "The guy who calls himself the god of death, he knew about my plan to make a Horcrux, I didn't tell him about it, but he Seeming to be able to read my mind, he told me he would grant my wish..."
"So your soul is split?" Ivan looked at him in surprise, it was really incredible.
"That's right, when I woke up, I was split from my soul and stayed on this ring." Riddle said, "Believe me, damn kid, my reaction was as surprised as yours, and even more so. Shocked. I didn't do anything, and I don't know what happened, but I apparently became a Horcrux, and Reaper granted my wish."
"A Horcrux made by Death himself?!" Dumbledore looked at Riddle.
"Yes, Professor, do you know what's going on?" Riddle asked, returning to that humble and polite look.
"Not sure, but there are some guesses!" Dumbledore didn't seem to want to explain.
Seeing his appearance, a look of annoyance and anger quickly flashed across Riddle's face, and he didn't continue to ask.
Since Dumbledore is not going to say it, but no one can know it from him!
But Ivan is still thinking, what is Dumbledore's guess?
Reaper granting Tom Riddle's wish sounds very much like that legend, the legend of the three brothers.
Aiwen looked at the ring in the cabinet, but because of the light and angle, he couldn't see the emblem of the "Peverell" family on the ring.
But it must be there, proving in silent language that this legendary story really happened.
As early as three years ago, Aiwen found the "Story Collection of Beedle the Poet" that accepted the legend of the three brothers.
It was the only thing he could find about the Deathly Hallows, and he remembered that story unmistakably.
A long, long time ago, three brothers were on their way along a secluded trail, and it was nearly dusk.
As they walked, they came to a river that was too deep to wade through, and too dangerous to swim across.
However, the three brothers were proficient in magic, and with a wave of their wands, a bridge appeared on the treacherous water.
When the three reached the middle of the bridge, a figure in a black hood blocked their way.
He was Death, and Death had spoken to them.
He was angry that he lost three new offerings, because travelers usually drown in this river.
The three brothers escaped their fate and were lucky enough to miss death.
But Death was very cunning, and he pretended to congratulate the three brothers on their magic, saying that they had escaped Death by virtue of their cleverness, and each of them could get a reward.
The boss is a warlike man who wants the most powerful wand in the world: a wand that can always help his master win in a duel, a wand worthy of a wizard who has conquered death!
The Grim Reaper went to an elder tree on the shore, made a wand out of the hanging branches, and gave it to the eldest brother.
The second child is an arrogant man who decides to continue humiliating the god of death, and what he wants is the ability to bring the dead back to life.
The god of death picked up a stone from the bank and gave it to the second child, telling him that this stone has the ability to bring the dead back to life.
Then Reaper asked the youngest, San, what he wanted. The third was the most humble and smartest, and he didn't believe in Reaper.
Therefore, he wanted something that would allow him to get out of there without being followed by death.
Reaper granted his wish and reluctantly gave him his invisibility cloak.
Then, the god of death stood aside and let the three brothers continue on their way.
They talked about the wonderful experience just now, admired the gift of the god of death, and walked forward.
Later, the three brothers separated and moved towards their respective destinations.
The boss walked for more than a week, came to a remote mountain village, and quarreled with a wizard.
Naturally, he used the "elder wand" made of elderberry as a weapon, and he would undoubtedly win the duel. He possessed the most powerful strength. After his opponent fell to the ground and died, he went on and walked into a tavern , boasting loudly how invincible the powerful wand he got from the hand of death.
That night, when the boss was very drunk, another wizard crept to his bedside, stole his wand, and cut his throat.
In this way, the god of death took the life of the boss.
At the same time, the second child returned to the home where he lived alone, took out the stone that could bring the dead back to life, and turned it in his hand three times.
To his surprise and surprise, the girl he wanted to marry but unfortunately died young appeared in front of him immediately.
But she was sad and indifferent, and there seemed to be a veil between them.
Although she returned to the world, she didn't really belong here, and she was in pain.
Eventually, the second child, driven mad by hopeless longing, committed suicide in order to actually be with her.
In this way, the god of death took the life of the second child.
However, the god of death has been looking for the third child for many years, but has never been able to find him.
The third child lived until he was very old before he finally took off the cloak and gave it to his son.
Then, he greeted death like an old friend, and happily joined him as an equal, and left the world.
The elder wand, the resurrection stone, and the invisibility cloak, these three items are the Deathly Hallows.
It is rumored that as long as you have them, you can defeat death and become the master of death.
Undoubtedly, Death is cunning.
In his original plan, the three brothers were supposed to drown in that river as a sacrifice to him.
When the three brothers escaped the fate of death, he was unwilling to lose the three sacrifices, so he appeared in front of them, saying that he wanted to give each of them a reward, but in fact he wanted to bring their fate back. to death.
The Three Hallows of Death, three legendary magic items, were originally the three baits of the God of Death.
In the end, only the clever third child escaped the pursuit of death and walked to the end of his life without incident.
In the story of fifteen-year-old Tom Riddle, he also sees death and escapes from him.
The god of death decided to give him a reward, to help him create a Horcrux, to help him conquer death...
If this god of death was the same as the god of death in the legend of the three brothers, he would definitely not have such kindness.
Ivan was almost certain that Voldemort was cursed from the moment this Horcrux was made!
He chose strength, and therefore, death will be his final destination...
Of course, the so-called god of death does not actually exist, let alone appear in this ring.
Considering that this ring has been in the hands of Salazar Slytherin for a long time, Ivan is more inclined to leave a spell left by the legendary wizard...
