Harry Potter and the Temple of Tales

Chapter 168 The Devil Never Lies

"No problem, no problem."

Voldemort's soul replied hurriedly, as if if it didn't agree, the next moment, the sword would penetrate the entire Horcrux from top to bottom.

Immediately, the soul body moved outward, like a wave of thoughts, and the entire Inferi on the lake gradually submerged. The giant Inferi glanced at Dumbledore and the others dully, and then sank back into the lake, as if it had never appeared before.

.

The entire Black Lake returned to its original calm state.

"Please, Dumbledore." The soul transformed into the appearance of young Tom Riddle and made a gesture of invitation.

Dumbledore walked ahead with the locket suspended, and stepped onto the boat. The remaining people followed closely. The boat began to drive back through the black lake, away from the rock. Louis was surprised to find that he seemed to have had a seizure just now.

The crazy Inferi is now as obedient as a well-behaved cat, sinking motionless in the black lake.

Their boat hit the shore of the lake. Harry and the others jumped ashore and immediately turned their heads to the lake, fearing that the Inferi would attack again, but nothing happened.

"Okay, Louis, close the Horcrux." He said after making sure that several people had reached the other side. "Even if it orders it again, it will be useless. The Inferi cannot sense the life on the lakeshore."

Dumbledore pointed to the boat. When the last person came ashore, the boat slowly sank into the water, and the chain jingled as it rowed back to the lake.

"Why?"

Louis gently closed the Horcrux in Snake's voice, and his soul body quickly retracted into the locket. What he didn't understand was that in the face of such an extremely evil black magic item as the Horcrux, Dumbledore actually tried to fight against it.

Communicate with it and make transactions with it.

This is not like the style of the world's top white wizard.

"It's easy to understand, because devils never lie." Dumbledore explained to Louis, and he put the locket in his pocket.

"The reason why dark wizards like Voldemort and Grindelwald have so many followers is not only because of their strength and belief, but more importantly, because they pay attention to integrity and must abide by the deals they make. Although some followers are

They are afraid of Voldemort, but there are still some wizards who are willing to work for him."

"So you think it won't betray you? But it's a Horcrux, Professor."

"This is also what I want to explain." Dumbledore interrupted Lewis's defense, "Looking at it now, Voldemort may have created more than three Horcruxes. His own soul has been divided too many times and he can no longer sense the soul.

The soul inside the Horcrux is located. In fact, the soul body in the Horcrux has been developing independently for such a long time, giving birth to its own character. Therefore, the soul body in the Horcrux has a lot of differences with the real Voldemort.

gap."

"And the other thing I know it won't betray is that maybe it's because of my existence."

"Then, Professor, are you really not going to destroy this locket?" Louis pointed to his chest.

"Oh, of course not, my dear boy." Dumbledore shook his head, "I still have some use for the time being. This is Slytherin's inheritance. If you don't mind giving it to me, Louis."

"Of course not, Professor." Although Lewis also wanted to know if the locket had any other secrets besides the Horcrux, Dumbledore had asked for it himself, and he couldn't be embarrassed not to give it to him.

However, if the locket is not destroyed for the time being, will it be too late to prevent Voldemort's resurrection?

When Louis just thought of this, he immediately rejected his idea. Even if the Horcrux was destroyed or not, he might not be able to prevent its resurrection, because Voldemort created seven Horcruxes. As long as one of these seven Horcruxes remained, Voldemort would not be able to prevent it.

Real death, and among these seven Horcruxes, although he and Dumbledore had destroyed two, there were only two living Horcruxes that he could not destroy before his resurrection no matter what.

Harry and Nagini.

So it seems to have become unimportant whether the locket is destroyed before Voldemort is resurrected.

Now that Voldemort's resurrection has become inevitable, he must prepare for the war that will happen next.

The archway leading to the outside world was sealed again, but some of the people who had just experienced a battle still had the blood of the Inferi on their bodies, so this was not a problem for them.

After receiving their feedback, the stone door was opened again, and they walked through the cave outside, and the fresh sea breeze suddenly hit them.

"Huh, I don't think I want to go to that cave again." Sirius breathed a long sigh of relief. The depressing and terrifying atmosphere in the cave made him very uncomfortable. He really didn't know how his brother could be in such a place.

The one who survived among the mass of inferi.

"Me too, Albus." Nicolas Flamel's old and frail body leaned against Dumbledore, "Don't mess with my old body anymore."

"Probably not, Nick. Of course, before that, I still need you to help me research something."

When Nick Flamel heard Dumbledore's words, his old face suddenly fell.

"Let's talk about this when we get back..."

.....

After returning to Grimmauld Place, Dumbledore sued them and returned to Beauxbatons in France with Nicolas Flamel.

Sirius then went to the Ministry of Magic to report. The past few days were very magical for him. First, he learned the truth about his brother's resistance to Voldemort, and then went to the crime scene, but the real facts brought him another...

A surprise.

Now, he always wears the family ring on his hand, and his other goal is to find the whereabouts of Regulus all over the world.

But there is still another doubt about Regulus, and that is the tapestry of the Black family. In Louis' impression, wizard family trees are enchanted, just like the Lestrange family.

As soon as a member dies, it will wither on its branch and the date of death will be automatically marked.

The tapestry clearly marked the year Regulus died, but the ring showed that the guy was still alive.

According to Sirius, the date on the tapestry was put up by his mother herself. Mrs. Black could not accept the fact that Regulus was missing. Later, the news of Regulus's death came from Voldemort, but

It was not shown on the tapestry, and Mrs. Black had always believed in Voldemort's words and believed that there was an error in the magic of the tapestry, so this was the case.

Of course, no one knew what happened to Regulus at that time, and since he had never returned, the family naturally regarded his words as fact and passed them down.

After returning from the cave, Kreacher became extremely friendly. On the one hand, it may be because he was extremely happy to know that Regulus was alive. On the other hand, he was fulfilling Regulus's order in disguise to express his gratitude to Louis and the others. However,

Sirius was still mean and abusive to it, but at this time, Kreacher stopped nagging. He accepted the abuse arbitrarily and always cleaned and arranged everything properly. This made the middle-aged man hate Kreacher.

Everything looks a little different.

Harry and Louis were still living in Grimmauld Place, but it seemed that a week after returning from the cave, an owl that looked smaller than Hedwig and Fulla stuffed a letter into No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

In the room on the second floor, Harry happened to see it.

"Louis, it's a letter from Ron." Harry brought the letter to Louis. Curious, he slowly opened the letter and read it.
