v2 Chapter 1488: Mission and third memory (1/2)
Oh, this tone doesn't sound like Slughorn's words to Riddle.
That is to say, in addition to hiding some of the more important memories, Slughorn also tampered and fabricated the latter part of the memory.
After a few seconds, the three returned to Dumbledore's office again.
Harry seemed a bit stunned. He looked at Avon and turned to look at Dumbledore, who was sitting back at the table. He didn't figure out what was going on.
Dumbledore just said that this is his most important memory, but he can't see where it is important. Of course, the sudden white fog, and no one seems to notice it, is very strange, but nothing seems to happen, except that Riddle asked a question and did not get an answer.
”You may have noticed that this memory has been tampered with.” Dumbledore did not circle, and said bluntly, ”Professor Slughorn has falsified his own memory, and he gave me a false memory. ”
”The memory that was tampered with? Why did he do this?” Harry couldn't help but ask.
”I think he should be ashamed of this memory, so he falsified it, made himself decent, and erased the part he didn't want me to see. It was a bad thing to change it. This is a good thing. The real memory is still underneath.”
”Professor, is this memory about the Horcrux?” Ai Wen interjected.
”Yes, an important memory about the Horcrux.” Dumbledore said with interest. ”We have long known that Riddle wants to make a Horcrux. He thinks that in this way, eternal life can be obtained. In fact, in him When I took the ring and returned to Hogwarts, I had successfully created a Horcrux, but this Horcrux is an uncontrolled accident. I talked to him, Voldemort thought he was a trouble, So I still keep him, nothing more than what I want to learn from it...”
”Have he succeeded?” Aiwen asked, knowing that Dumbledore said later that he meant Riddel, fifteen.
”No!” said Dumbledore. ”So, Voldemort turned to Slughorn for a way to make a Horcrux. He should have found something from the book, but it is not comprehensive, and there are some details that need to be confirmed. ”
”For example, the number of Horcruxes that can be made...” Ai Wen said.
”A very keen idea, Ai Wen. The specific number of Horcruxes, this is one of the important things we need to figure out. After all, from what we know now, Voldemort has made a lot of Horcruxes, Riddle's Diary , Slytherin’s locket, Ravenclaw’s crown, the statue of the evil spirit, and the ring because of the accident.” Dumbledore said, the bright eyes quickly swept Harry and turned back to Ai. Wen Wen, ”I said before that he has the habit of collecting spoils. The number of Horcruxes we have found so far is already a lot, but certainly not all. We must confirm the final number of Horcruxes.”
”What is the limit of the number of Horcruxes that a person can make? How many times can the soul be split?”
”In theory, it is infinite, there is no limit to the number, but no one can do this, because it requires evil beyond imagination. How much pain is exerted when splitting the soul, and its own soul will suffer the same pain. ”Dumbledore said, ”But Voldemort is obviously not a normal person, so we can't measure him by the general standard. In fact, for the memories we just saw, I will give you a task, I I hope that you will try to expose Professor Slughorn to the true memory and figure out what Riddle has said to him. This will undoubtedly be our most critical information.”
