Apart from the tear marks on the photo, there were also tear stains on it.
He could imagine the scene when the young Riddle found this photo of his parents.
He looked at it, full of sorrow. After the last tear, there was only hatred left in his heart. He ruthlessly tore the photo into pieces.
He swore to cut off all ties with his disappointing parents, but he could not help but stick the photo back together.
This was Elwyn's imagination. It sounded like something a little boy who was abandoned by his parents would do.
He was not sure if Lord Voldemort had such feelings, or more accurately, if he had ever had such feelings. This was not something that should appear in him.
Strange, what was going on?!
This was too abnormal. He had always been ashamed of his mother, thinking that he could not be a wizard.
Because she had submitted to death, after knowing the truth, he did not hesitate to kill his father's family.
The Gunter family would definitely not satisfy him. Without a doubt, he needed the thousand-year glory of the family to prove his nobility and to prove that he was different from others. However, the current situation of the Gunter family undoubtedly made him feel ashamed. It was another humiliation.
Therefore, regardless of whether it was his father or mother, Voldemort was filled with hatred from beginning to end.
Yes, he hated them. If his mother was still alive, Lord Voldemort would have killed him with his own hands.
Killing his parents would only make him feel glorious. It would complete a transformation and sublimation on the spiritual level.
He completed his redemption and essence through this matter. From now on, he would be as great as his ancestor, Salazar Slytherin.
Elwyn was sure of this. There could not be love. Lord Voldemort did not know what love was!
But how could he explain the torn and restored photo in front of him? And the abnormal tear stains on it?
If it wasn't Voldemort's doing, why would it be carefully placed here, preserved together with his soul armament?
"Professor, you see this photo. Why did Lord Voldemort …" Elwyn said and suddenly stopped.
He turned to look at Dumbledore and noticed that his condition was a little abnormal.
Dumbledore ignored Elwyn. He seemed to be fascinated by the ring and kept staring at it.
His expression was both focused and sorrowful. His blue eyes were no longer filled with the light of wisdom, but were instead filled with sorrow.
He stared at the black gemstone on the ring without blinking. It was the Resurrection Stone.
"Professor?!" Elwyn shouted, raising his voice to alert Dumbledore.
However, Dumbledore did not respond. He did not hear Elwyn's voice. It was as if he and Elwyn were in a different world.
His body swayed, and he took a step forward, as if someone else was talking to him, as if he had been summoned.
"Ariana!" he said softly, in a trembling voice.
"What?" Elwyn was stunned for a moment and quickly grabbed Dumbledore's arm. "Wake up, Professor!"
"Ariana, is that you?" Dumbledore said, his eyes wet with tears.
It was unbelievable. Everything happened too suddenly. Dumbledore actually cried in front of Elwyn.
If word got out, others would definitely think that Elwyn had gone crazy!
The greatest light wizard in the world actually cried. How was this possible?!
"Professor, wake up. There are only the two of us here!" Elwyn shook him violently. "Ariana is not here."
"I shouldn't have done that. I was blinded by power. It's not Gelert. Abfoss was right. I didn't take good care of you and caused your death!" Dumbledore said sadly. "It's all my fault. Yes, everything is my fault. I knew that your health was not good, but I still wanted to be with Gelert and accepted his invitation to travel around the world …"
He still ignored Elwyn and was immersed in his own memories.
Damn it, this ring was affecting him!
Elwyn already knew that there would be problems with this ring, but he originally thought that Dumbledore would hesitate for a long time before he could resist the temptation of the Resurrection Society and reach out for the ring. He would then be able to stop him, but he did not expect him to be affected so deeply.
No one could be so immersed in their own memories and ignore the situation around them.
This was not a temptation at all, but a strange magic. Lord Voldemort's Soul Vessel was affecting Dumbledore.
Blood flashed, and Elwyn saw that all the blood that Dumbledore had shed had landed on the ring.
The surroundings were so dark that he did not see clearly and thought that the blood had disappeared.
No, it was disappearing. The ring and the Resurrection Stone were absorbing Dumbledore's blood.
A terrifying black magic was affecting Dumbledore through this connection, luring him to touch the ring.
Elwyn shook Dumbledore violently, but it was useless. This magic would not be interrupted by such an external force.
"Arianna, are you back?" Dumbledore said sadly. "Promise me, don't leave again, okay?"
Hearing his words, Elwyn was anxious. He seemed to see his sister, Arianna.
But other than the two of them, there was no third person here.
What Dumbledore saw was not the real Arianna, but a ghost, a ghost that had been summoned back by the Resurrection Stone.
Elwyn thought about the characteristics of the Resurrection Stone. This stone came from the God of Death, and it was a stone that could bring people back from the dead.
But it could only summon souls, and those who used the Resurrection Stone would only have a pessimistic mentality.
It could mentally torture people to insanity, and because they could not obtain the real person, they wanted to bring them back to life.
Therefore, the Resurrection Stone was also a weapon. Giving the Resurrection Stone to the enemy was like giving a knife to the enemy, causing the enemy to commit suicide.
How was this a Resurrection Stone? It was a stone that had been cursed by the God of Death.
Lord Voldemort did not completely notice the Resurrection Stone. He discovered its use, which allowed him to see the souls of the people closest to him who had died, but he did not know that it was one of the Three Sacred Weapons of Death. He saw his parents through the Resurrection Stone.
This made him feel sad, which was why he cried and left the photo here.
This was also why Elwyn saw tear stains on the photo. They were indeed tears from Lord Voldemort.
Of course, these were not his real feelings, but the magic power of the Resurrection Stone.
Very soon, Lord Voldemort, who had recovered, was furious. He used the characteristics of the Resurrection Stone to set up a magic spell.
Through the bone snake outside the drawer, the enemy's blood would drip on the Resurrection Stone, causing the intruder to be lost.
Just like Dumbledore, under the influence of magic and the Resurrection Stone, he would become sad and lose his mind.
In a better situation, he would die directly from grief or poison. Because of the blood, the corpse would be controlled by the soul fragment in the ring.
If a powerful wizard like Dumbledore was tempted to touch the ring bit by bit.
