HP Approaches the Magic World

Chapter 279 Openness and honesty: candidates

Dumbledore's so-called brief description actually took a long time.

Perhaps this is a common problem among educators. Once they start teaching and educating people, they can easily not stop.

Especially when the student sitting across from him continued to give feedback and clearly expressed that he had gained something.

Jon actually knows the function and manufacturing principles of Horcruxes relatively well. Of course, knowing the manufacturing principles and methods does not mean that he can use them, and there is no need for him to use Horcrux magic.

Even if he wanted to pursue immortality, he would have to do it through his own efforts. Horcruxes and other evil methods were created by people who had no hope of immortality, and there was definitely no way to achieve success.

Otherwise, the wizard who created the Horcrux would have acquired the ability to live forever, and Voldemort would not be able to dominate now.

Dumbledore is obviously very clear about this. According to what he described, Horcruxes can indeed keep wizards' souls immortal, but that's all. The way Horcruxes keep souls immortal is through powerful protection.

and weak connection to achieve the result of soul "preservation".

Horcruxes only have the effect of preserving the soul. They only maintain the existence of the soul, and at the same time add some temptation spells to confuse the person who opens the Horcrux, complete the effect of soul possession, and achieve resurrection - because generally

The oldest records of this thing appeared after the end of the Dark Ages. The specific time cannot be verified. However, according to the inference of researchers, the theory of making Horcruxes should come from the integration and evolution of ancient Egyptian mythology and Western culture.

In ancient Egyptian mythology, there is a god named Horus. He is the son of Osiris, the king of Hades, and Isis, the goddess of life and magic. However, because his father was originally killed by his uncle, Set, the god of desert and war, was jealous and

He was designed to kill Horus for the throne, so when Horus grew up, he devoted himself to defeating his evil uncle and regaining his father's kingdom.

The result of this struggle was that Horus was blinded in one eye. In order to mediate the fight between them, Horus's grandfather Geb, the god of earth, called on the nine pillar gods to gather to arbitrate the matter together, and eventually divided Egypt into

There are two parts: upper Egypt and lower Egypt, Upper Egypt belongs to Seth and Lower Egypt belongs to Horus.

But in the end Horus unified Egypt and became the sole monarch of Egypt.

But these stories have nothing to do with Horcruxes. What are really related are Horus's father, Hades Osiris, and the son of the desert god Seth, the god of death, Anubis.

After Osiris was killed by his brother Seth, his wife Isis used magic to resurrect him, but then he was killed by Seth again, and his body was divided into fourteen pieces by Seth, leaving seventy pieces.

He was thrown away after eight years.

This time, the body of Osiris was collected by Isis and Nephthys (the wife of Seth, the goddess of death, the sister and opposite of Isis, the goddess of life), but a part responsible for fertility was missing.

Later, Anubis, the son of Nephthys, the god of death, made Osiris into a mummy and resurrected it. Because each part of the body hides a part of the soul, so as long as one part of the body is not destroyed, Osiris will not die.

This is the source of Horcruxes.

In fact, basically every paragraph of this kind of thing made based on the legacy of the civilization of the mythical age can bring out some ancient mythological history.

Isis was still the master witch in the European Middle Ages. Although at that time, the gods had long been dead or isolated in the derivative world, these things were still passed down.

Because wizards like to find a very powerful past for their own stories and pasts to satisfy some of their own strange purposes.

I have to say, it is quite useful, and Jon is very vocal on this point.

After all, he himself is the beneficiary.

Now that Dumbledore has explained the past of Horcruxes, Jon can no longer pretend to be confused.

"If that's the case, then things are really tricky."

Although he said so, Jon did not think that the suggestion he just made was a reliable and good suggestion.

It was just a casual comment, but I didn't expect it to trigger Dumbledore's lengthy discussion about Horcruxes.

"If Voldemort possesses Horcruxes, wouldn't it be necessary to get rid of all his Horcruxes first?"

"Definitely."

Dumbledore sighed, "Unfortunately, we have not found any traces related to Voldemort so far, let alone his Horcruxes. I always thought he would hide the Horcruxes in the dark forest of Albania.

But for some reasons, I couldn't go there."

Jon found that Dumbledore had been looking at him when he said these words, which made him a little uncomfortable.

The "some reasons" Dumbledore mentioned must be related to Grindelwald, but normally, Dumbledore's guess is very reasonable.

When reading the original work, Jon once had this kind of doubt. It is clear that the dark forest is where Voldemort has lived most in the past ten years. In addition, he has traveled there, so he does not know the details.

Given the location of the Horcrux, the possibility of this guess being true is very high.

Moreover, from Jon's perspective, Voldemort also had a reason to hide Horcruxes in the Dark Forest - he once hid Ravenclaw's diadem there.

Of course, this is not the area that Jon should be responsible for.

"If I were Voldemort, I would not put the Horcruxes in the same place, so Voldemort must have other places besides the dark forest to store the Horcruxes. You might as well start looking for them in these places."

Anyway, I won't be able to find it for a while, so there is really no need to worry about this matter.

There is nothing left to say about Helga. Jon has already said what needs to be said and what should not be said. If there is a chance, Dumbledore can ask Helga himself without Jon's intervention.

The conversation between them revolved around the crypt, what happened with Helga, and then involving Voldemort and the Horcruxes. The whole process was so confusing that even Jon found it a bit annoying.

But Dumbledore still seemed to get more energetic as he spoke, which impressed Jon greatly.

No wonder people say that the more successful a person is, the more energetic they are. At Dumbledore's age, even a wizard would find it difficult to maintain such energy.

"Speaking of which, there is one last thing, please help me think about it." Dumbledore pressed a finger on the table, "The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for next year has not yet been found. Which professor in the school is more suitable?

"
