Compared with the locket that Allen had taken out before, which was passed down from Salazar Slytherin himself, this one was not as big, lacked a pattern, and did not have Slytherin's gorgeous "S" symbol. The locket popped open, and there was nothing inside except for a folded piece of parchment tightly stuffed in the place where the portrait was placed.
Allen took out the parchment and quickly scanned the handwriting on it. He looked up at Sirius and said, "This is the last handwriting of Regulus."
Hermione, who was next to Allen, took the piece of paper, smoothed out the wrinkles on it with her hand, spread it on the pedestal, and read the handwriting on it, "To The Dark Lord.
I'll be dead before you read this.
But I want you to know that I discovered your secret.
I stole the real Soul Vessel and intend to destroy it as soon as possible.
I'm willing to risk my life in the hope that you'll be killed when you meet your opponent.
B. "
After reading it, Hermione looked at the note again with admiration in her eyes. "Regulus is probably the first person to discover that the mysterious man made a Soul Vessel. He was willing to risk his life in exchange for the real Soul Vessel. This Slytherin has the courage of Gryffindor and the wisdom of Ravenclaw."
"I was so wrong, Regulus." Sirius punched the stone basin, and the anger and guilt in his heart surged. He was full of remorse. "I know you sacrificed yourself to fight against the mysterious man, but I didn't expect it to be to destroy one of his Soul Vessels. I used to call you an idiot, but in fact, I was the ignorant one. You were the hero. "
"Stupid old Klitscher … What did Klitscher do? Young Master Regulus was really fighting against The Dark Lord. Klitscher made a mistake … Klitscher is a fool!" When Klitscher heard Hermione read the note, he went to the pedestal of the stone pedestal in disbelief to confirm the handwriting on it.
Klitscher had never believed Allen's description that Regulus went to the cave to drink the venom to fight against The Dark Lord. After all, Klitscher did not know the purpose of the mysterious man and Regulus' final actions, and thought that Allen and the others were lying to him. But now that he saw the note with his own eyes and confirmed the handwriting on it, he stood there in a daze as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Idiot, now you know how stupid you were to expose the information to my stupid crazy cousin." Sirius glanced at Klitscher contemptuously. Sirius, who was in pain and remorse, mocked Klitscher in a tone that was even more harsh.
"Klitscher did the opposite of Young Master Regulus' goal …" Klitscher, who was immersed in remorse and pain, did not rebuke Sirius. He recalled what he had done and regretted it so much that he threw himself on the ground in tears and beat the ground desperately. His gray teeth were exposed in the air because of his crying.
"Klitscher, don't hurt yourself." Hearing Klitscher's despairing mutterings, Allen raised his head and glanced at Klitscher. He saw tears rolling down Klitscher's big nose again, and his gray teeth were exposed in the air because he opened his mouth to cry. Before Hermione could react and before the elf could do anything, Allen took the initiative to issue an order. He then complained to Sirius, "I think Hermione has made it very clear just now that your attitude towards it is also the reason. Since you have never regarded Klitscher as a creature with the same sensitive emotions as humans, then you should pay the price if it does something unexpected because of these emotions."
Following his command, the little elf stood stiffly on the spot and cried, but she did not do anything to hurt herself.
"Soul tools are the evilest black magic items in the world." Sirius did not say much to Allen's accusation. He judged that Allen, who had obtained Blake's family collection, would have learned about them from the books in his family collection even if he did not know about them from other sources. So he tried to change the topic. "I noticed that your original soul tool looks basically intact, but I can't feel any evil power from it. This means that you have destroyed it and completed Regulus's last wish? The part of the mysterious man's soul that was injected into it is no longer there? "
"Yes, but I have bad news to tell you. The mysterious man made more than one soul tool. In fact, I have destroyed three of his soul tools." Allen did not intend to tell Sirius that Harry was also one of the soul tools, but he added, "I have worked with Dumbledore before. As for the specific number and what it is, it is still under investigation …"
"Master Allen … Can Creech understand that you have destroyed the locket that Young Master Regulus wanted Creech to destroy?" The house elf's figure was more stooped, which made him look smaller than usual. "But … it looks very intact?"
"Creech, the mysterious man's soul has been destroyed from Slytherin's locket. It is no longer a soul tool." Allen said gently to Creech, who was holding his breath as if he did not dare to breathe loudly but could not help but tremble. "That is the reason why Regulus asked you to do this."
"The task that Regulus gave you was to catalyze it no matter what method you used. You have completed it, Creech …" Hermione understood the thoughts of the ugly house elf in front of her and softly affirmed the result for him.
After letting out a roar with a completely distorted voice, the aged Kreacher walked over with quick steps that were completely inconsistent with his age and his usual self. In the end, he fell to the ground because of his agitation. Before everyone could worry about him, he crawled and rolled in front of Allen and tried to kiss Allen's boots like the Death Eaters did when facing the Dark Lord, but his tears, snot, and saliva covered Allen's feet.
"Stop! Creech! " Alan took two steps back. He, who was slightly obsessed with cleanliness, quickly cleaned himself up before shouting at the house elf who stayed in place because of the order, "Don't get too excited … You can rest by yourself for a while."
"Creech thought that in this life … thought that he would never be able to complete Young Master Regulus's order … But Creech's new master destroyed it! Creech did not let Young Master Regulus down! " Creech obediently stopped trying to kiss Allen's boots. After trying to wipe his new master's boots and being retracted, the heavy stone that had been pressing on his chest for many years finally felt lifted. However, the moment of unreality caused Creech to turn over and lie on the ground. He faced the sky and stared blankly at the stone wall above his head. After completing the task that he had always dreamed of, he did not know what else to do after losing his life goal. This made him look even older.
Hermione looked at the house elf worriedly as if she was worried that it would die at any time.
Sirius did not say anything sarcastic just now. Looking at Hermione's expression, he could not help but mutter, "Don't worry about it. This troublesome old thing won't die so easily. Maybe it'll still be alive after I die!"
"Ahem … In a sense, you're right …" Allen, who briefly recalled Sirius' original fate, shook his head. "You'd better not underestimate the power of words to make such a prediction. You know that I'm also a Silent Person in the Division of Mysteries. Fate can be changed, but it will always inadvertently reveal some information to you, so you'd better not say these words … Don't look at me like I'm superstitious. The mysterious man also believes in it, doesn't he?"
"Speaking of which, the mysterious man is a lunatic. Doesn't he know that the soul should be intact? Splitting it is an evil act that goes against nature?! As long as the soul is split, it will become extremely unstable, not to mention multiple times! Therefore, even a large number of Dark Wizards are not willing to make Soul Vessels. They prefer to die happily … "Sirius was surprised by the mysterious man's crazy behavior, but after noticing that Alan knew a lot about Soul Vessels, he was worried that the bad boy in front of him would try it himself. This time, he thought he was tactful and changed his tone to warn Alan and the others not to try it." Well, no wonder the mysterious man is getting crazier and crazier. He was said to be a charming man when he was young, but what I don't understand is that he doesn't care about this hidden danger at all. "
"Harry told me that Dumbledore also destroyed a soul vessel. It was a ring that belonged to the mysterious man's mother's family …" Hermione said. Her voice was full of mixed feelings. "As for the hidden danger … Harry told me that although the mysterious man's mother was from the ancient Gunter family, she died soon after the mysterious man was born. The mysterious man grew up in the Muggle orphanage, so he was no different from the other wizards who were born in the Muggle family. The mysterious man learned about the soul vessel from a black magic book that was still in the Forbidden Books Area when he was a student. When he asked the knowledgeable Professor Horace Slughorn, Professor Slughorn told him some secrets about the soul vessel out of love for the mysterious man. So I think the mysterious man's birth made him unaware of the danger in the beginning … and later, he didn't care about it anymore."
"The birth of the mysterious man did limit his development to a large extent …" Alan agreed. "The mysterious man also disdained the behavior of the house elves, just like the purebred wizards who treated the elves as livestock … But the difference was that he would never think and disdain to understand that these elves might have magic that he didn't have."
