At this point, Riddle suddenly paused.
He seemed to be a little hesitant, unsure if he should say what happened next. This was related to his biggest secret.
However, the situation in front of him clearly told him that he had no other choice.
"Then, he asked me for my name." A few seconds later, Riddle continued, "That fellow who calls himself the Grim Reaper knows that I'm preparing to make a soul armament. I haven't told him about it, but he seems to be able to see through my thoughts. He told me that he will fulfill my wish …"
"So, your soul split?" Elwyn looked at him in surprise. It was really unbelievable.
"Yes, when I woke up, my soul had already split from my body and stayed on this ring," Riddle said. "Believe me, hateful brat, my reaction at that time was as surprised as yours, even more so. I didn't do anything, and I don't know what happened, but I obviously became a soul tool. Death fulfilled my wish. "
"A soul tool personally made by Death?!" Dumbledore looked at Riddle.
"Yes, Professor. Do you know what happened?" Riddle asked, returning to his humble and polite appearance.
"I'm not sure, but I have some guesses!" Dumbledore seemed to not want to explain.
Looking at him, Riddle's face quickly flashed a trace of annoyance and anger, but he did not continue to ask.
Since Dumbledore was not going to say, no one could find out from him!
However, Elwyn continued to think. What was Dumbledore's guess?
Death fulfilled Tom Riddle's wish. This sounded very much like the legend of the three brothers.
Elwyn looked at the ring in the cabinet. Due to the light and angle, he could not see the "Peverell" family emblem on the ring.
But it was definitely there, using a silent language to prove that this legend had really happened.
As early as three years ago, Elwyn found the "Stories of Beedle the Poet" that contained the legend of the three brothers.
That was the only information he could find about the Sacred Relic of Death. He clearly remembered the story.
A long, long time ago, there were three brothers who were hurrying along a secluded and winding path. The sky was already close to dusk.
As they walked, they came to a river, which was too deep to wade through, and too dangerous to swim across.
However, the three brothers were proficient in magic. With a wave of their wands, a bridge appeared on the treacherous waters.
When the three of them reached the middle of the bridge, a figure wearing a black hood blocked their way.
He was Death. Death spoke to them.
He was angry that he had lost three new sacrifices, for travellers usually drowned in this river.
The three brothers escaped their fate and luckily missed the Grim Reaper.
But Death was cunning. He pretended to congratulate the three brothers on their magic, saying that they had escaped death by their cleverness, and that each of them would receive a reward.
The boss was a warlike man, and what he wanted was the most powerful wand in the world: a wand that would always help its master win in a duel, a wand worthy of a wizard who had conquered the god of death!
Death walked to an elder tree on the shore, made a wand out of the overhanging branches, and gave it to the boss.
The second brother was an arrogant man. He decided to continue to humiliate Death, and what he wanted was the power to bring the dead back to life.
Death picked up a stone from the shore and gave it to the second brother, telling him that the stone had the power to bring the dead back to life.
Then Death asked the youngest brother what he wanted. The third brother was the most modest and clever of the three, and he did not believe in Death.
So he wanted something that would allow him to leave that place without being followed by Death.
Death granted his wish, and reluctantly gave him his Invisibility Cloak.
Then Death stood aside and let the three brothers continue on their way.
They talked about their wonderful experience, admired Death's gift, and walked on.
Later, the three brothers parted ways and went their separate ways.
The first brother walked for more than a week, and came to a remote mountain village, where he quarreled with a wizard.
Of course, he used the "old wand" made of elder wood as his weapon, which undoubtedly won the duel. He had the most powerful strength. After his opponent fell to the ground dead, he continued forward and entered a small tavern. He loudly boasted about the invincibility of the powerful wand he had obtained from the hands of the Grim Reaper.
That night, when the first brother was drunk, another wizard crept up to his bed, stole the wand, and cut his throat.
Death took the life of the first brother in this way.
At the same time, the second brother returned to the house where he lived alone, took out the stone that could bring the dead back to life, and turned it three times in his hand.
To his surprise and delight, the girl he had wanted to marry, but had unfortunately died young, immediately appeared in front of him.
But she was sad and cold, and there seemed to be a veil between them.
Although she had returned to the human world, she did not really belong there, and she was miserable.
In the end, the second brother was driven mad by his hopeless longing, and committed suicide in order to be with her.
Death took the life of the second brother in this way.
However, Death searched for the third brother for many years, but he could not find him.
The third brother lived until he was very old, and finally took off the Invisibility Cloak, and gave it to his son.
Then, he welcomed Death as an old friend, and happily left the human world with him, as an equal.
The Elder Wand, the Stone of Resurrection, and the Invisibility Cloak, these three items were the Sacred Weapons of Death.
It was said that with them, one could defeat death and become the master of Death.
There was no doubt that Death was cunning.
In his original plan, the three brothers should have drowned in the river, and become sacrifices to him.
After the three brothers escaped the fate of death, he was unwilling to lose these three sacrifices, so he appeared in front of them, saying that he would give each of them a reward, but in reality, he wanted to bring their fates back to the path of death.
The three Sacred Weapons of Death, three legendary magic items, were originally the three baits of Death.
In the end, only the clever Third Brother managed to escape the Grim Reaper's pursuit and safely reached the end of his life.
In the story of the fifteen-year-old Tom Riddle, he also met Death, and escaped from him.
Death decided to give him a reward, helping him create a Soul Weapon, helping him conquer death …
If this Grim Reaper was the same as the Grim Reaper in the legends of the three brothers, he definitely wouldn't be so kind.
Elwyn was almost sure that the moment this Soul Weapon was created, the Lord Voldemort was cursed!
He had chosen power, so death would be his final destination …
Of course, the so-called Death did not actually exist, and it was impossible for him to appear in this ring.
