Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1692 A war without a winner (one hundred and forty-two)

"But……"

Cedric was naturally willing to believe Albert's words, but he felt that this should not convince Kingsley.

As if seeing Cedric's embarrassment, Albert smiled and asked, "Oh, is there any problem?"

"You know, this has never been my personal problem." Cedric reminded Albert directly that it would be best to give Kingsley a more reasonable explanation.

"Horcruxes are not actually a major secret in the circle of dark wizards. At least guys like Voldemort who are afraid of death will try to find ways to make themselves immortal. Therefore, the method of making Horcruxes has been known from ancient times. It’s not unusual at all to find it inside the parchment.”

Albert looked at the astonished Cedric and told the gossip he knew in a leisurely manner.

"Don't you think it's strange? Since Horcruxes can make people immortal and are not a secret in the circle of dark wizards, why have we almost never heard of any news related to Horcruxes, let alone seen anything other than Voldemort? The dark wizard came back to life because of the Horcrux he created?"

"Because it is very difficult to make Horcruxes and requires profound black magic skills?" Cedric asked tentatively.

"Yes, it is indeed difficult to create Horcruxes, but this is never the main reason, and it cannot stop humans' desire for immortality."

Albert suddenly showed a malicious smile, "You must know that many powerful dark wizards know that making Horcruxes will allow them to continue to live, but they are still unwilling to make Horcruxes."

"Because Horcruxes have terrible side effects." Cedric immediately guessed the reason. "The thing itself is a big trap?"

"That's it." Albert spread his hands and said, "Although Voldemort repeatedly jumped around and pretended to be dead because of the creation of a large number of Horcruxes, in the entire history of wizards, Voldemort is the only one who can really do this."

"If it were an ordinary dark wizard, he would have split his soul to create a Horcrux, causing his soul to become unstable, and he would die suddenly on the spot!" Albert sneered: "Even if he really succeeded in creating his own Horcrux, , do you really think other wizards can use Horcruxes to defraud corpses repeatedly like Voldemort did?"

"Can't you?"

Cedric was stunned and asked stupidly.

"Can you do wandless magic?" Albert asked with a half-smile.

"How is that possible?" Cedric said angrily, "The number of people in Hogwarts who can skillfully use wandless magic can be counted on one hand."

"Then how many wizards do you think around the world are good at wandless magic?" Albert continued to ask.

"It shouldn't be much." Cedric suddenly froze when he said this, and already understood the meaning of Albert's words.

"A group of guys who haven't even mastered wandless magic. How many of them do you think can be like Voldemort, who can barely use a very small amount of magic without losing his body and wand?"

"Probably only a handful of them." Cedric was very confident in Albert.

"I don't have that ability." Albert suddenly asked, "Do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?" Cedric couldn't help but swallowed.

"The punishment of immortality is to live without wanting to die."

The smile on Albert's face made Cedric's skin crawl. It was unabashedly malicious.

"That sounds scary," Cedric muttered.

"You can think that is the cruelest punishment in the world." Albert said softly.

"How do you know?" Cedric was curious about this.

"Then you may have to ask Dumbledore and those ancient documents." Albert directly pushed the question to the dead man.

"After a person's soul is divided, it will become incomplete, which is the so-called residual soul. Because part of the soul is made into a Horcrux, the wizard who owns the Horcrux will have an incomplete soul after death and cannot go to the deceased's home. The country is put to sleep, and the Horcrux uses this to keep people alive. "

"But because the soul is not complete enough, the situation of a wizard with only a residual soul will be worse than a ghost, or even worse than the humblest wandering soul. He is just alive, that's all."

"It's a very scary thing to live like that."

"You must know that some people will take the initiative to face death after death and choose to continue walking. Some people will return and become ghosts. As for the madman who splits his soul to create a Horcrux, even if the Horcrux is destroyed, the person will be completely killed. Unable to get true sleep, he will be trapped in the narrow gap between life and death, enjoying the pain and torture of eternity, and no one can help them. "

Cedric couldn't help but swallowed, and finally realized what a scam Horcrux was.

It's no wonder that both Principal McGonagall and Albert don't mind this kind of thing being exposed. Sometimes the more you hide it, the easier it is to arouse other people's curiosity.

Rather than that, it would be better to have a direct showdown.

After a batch of idiots who don't believe in evil continue to die, everyone will realize that Horcrux is basically a bottomless pit.

"What's more!"

Albert said meaningfully, "How many wizards in this world know how to resurrect people?"

Even if someone assisted, it would be almost unimaginable, otherwise Dumbledore would not be lying in the coffin, but popping out of the tomb.

Cedric's face twitched, he felt that Dumbledore had not come back to life, probably because he really wanted to die.

"So Horcruxes are a complete pitfall, unless the person who made the Horcruxes is as powerful as Voldemort." He made the final summary, thinking that after Kingsley read the report, he probably wouldn't mind it that much.

After all, how many Voldemorts are there in this world?

Just one!

Well, one is already bad enough.

"Although I hate that guy, we have to admit that Voldemort is indeed a genius." At sighed softly.

"I always feel that you are gloating a little bit."

Cedric was quite helpless about this, and Albert didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it. At least the ghosts passing by obviously heard the conversation between the two.

"Actually, Voldemort is quite handsome. I remember seeing him in his school days. He was as handsome as you and equally popular." Albert changed his tone and said, "So he became that ghostly figure, most likely because of the split soul. He didn't even have a nose after his resurrection."

This made Cedrake speechless, but he had to admit that Albert was right. Voldemort was indeed left with only a human form in the end.

"There will always be a few guys in this world who don't believe in evil." Albert said meaningfully, "When those idiots set an example for future generations, no one will be as stupid as them."
