Dumbledore seemed to be satisfied with Riddle's answer. How strange. What was there to be satisfied about?!
Even if there was a reason behind it, wasn't it dangerous for him to want to kill his own father with his own hands?
Even if Riddle didn't do it in the end, just the thought alone was enough to make him dangerous and evil.
Elwyn didn't quite understand, and so did Riddle.
Although he was still expressionless, he became more vigilant and looked at Dumbledore carefully.
"Professor, do you have any other questions?" he asked in a polite tone.
He was still wearing the Hogwarts uniform, and his tone was just right. It didn't seem abrupt at all and arouse others' disgust.
No matter what, Riddle's current appearance was really lovable.
He was like an excellent student humbly asking Dumbledore for advice, not the evil and terrifying The Dark Lord.
The fifteen-year-old Riddle was exactly like that. He used this method to deceive everyone!
"One more question!" Dumbledore said gently. "Just now, you told Elwyn that you don't approve of him making multiple soul tools. That means you know he's preparing to make many soul tools. How many do you think he'll make in the end?"
"That's his plan. He thinks that the more his soul splits, the more thoroughly he does it, the more powerful he will be. There's no evidence to prove this, but there are countless facts that prove that splitting a soul will make it unstable." Riddle said, "That's why I don't approve of him doing this, but it's useless. He didn't accept my suggestion. In fact, after I was split, he seemed to have become even more evil. A purer and more thorough evil. There are many things that he could only think about in the past, but now he can do it without any scruples."
Elwyn frowned. Riddle seemed to be hinting to them that after he was split, Lord Voldemort became even more evil and became the true Lord Voldemort.
In other words, he might have taken away all the positive thoughts in Lord Voldemort's soul.
In order to get Dumbledore to let him go, this guy was really willing to go to any lengths.
Elwyn wasn't sure if he was telling the truth, but it was enough to make him and Dumbledore hesitate!
When they were ready to destroy him, they could not help but think that maybe this was a good Lord Voldemort, a 15-year-old boy who had the positive emotions that Dumbledore valued, or even love …
It was truly frightening. As long as they had the slightest bit of hesitation, Riddle had achieved his goal!
It was a clever hint. It was direct and effective, and it was hard to tell if it was real or fake. This guy really understood human nature.
"All you have to do is answer the questions honestly!" Elwyn said in disgust. "Don't always talk nonsense."
"Of course!" Riddle said politely, "Since we're talking about the number of soul armaments he'll choose, I think seven is a pretty good number. At the same time, this number is the most magical. If he's still someone I understand …"
"Very good!" said Dumbledore with satisfaction.
"Since that's the case, I'll tell you everything, Professor!" Said Riddle modestly, in the same tone of voice. "How do you feel, I wonder? Will you choose to forgive me? Will you give your student another chance? "
"Professor!" Elwyn suggested, "I think it's better to destroy it directly!"
Although this soul armament had provided them with a lot of valuable information tonight, and it was very surprising.
But he was, after all, Tom Riddle, the Lord Voldemort in his youth. It was too dangerous to let him go just like that!
Moreover, Elwyn had a feeling that this guy in front of him was even more dangerous than the current Lord Voldemort.
Although he was only a part of the soul, he still maintained his rationality and was completely independent.
The Lord Voldemort's strength was not his magical power, but his wisdom and ability to bewitch people.
Although they had not known each other for a long time, Elwyn could clearly feel this from this guy.
"I don't have any power now. If you don't provide me with magic, I won't even be able to maintain this weak form!" Riddle said pitifully, "I'm completely in your hands. Will you be afraid of me?"
"Even if we were to face the strongest you, we wouldn't be afraid." Elwyn said disdainfully, "But you're a soul armament!"
"A special soul armament. Elwyn, I just heard the professor call you that. That should be your name. You don't mind me calling you that, right?" Without waiting for Elwyn's reply, Riddle continued, "You've heard my previous narration. Right now, I'm completely independent from the main soul. There's no connection between us."
"I understand the magic of soul armaments. As long as you continue to exist, the Lord Voldemort cannot be killed."
"I don't have any connection with him. The connection here includes the connection of life." Riddle continued, "Of course, I know what you want to do. If you give me a chance, I'll prove that there's no connection between me and the main soul. Whether you destroy me or not doesn't affect your plan. As long as you give me time, I'll prove this point to you."
"But your existence itself is a kind of evil." Elwyn said stubbornly.
"Evil?!" Riddle said. His body became fainter and fainter, as if he could disappear at any time. "I don't understand. What's evil about me? Evil things can split souls, but I wasn't created that way. I didn't do anything, but a mysterious Grim Reaper split me from the main soul. I was locked in the cabinet for half a century, and now you suddenly appear, saying that I'm evil and that you want to destroy me. It's really funny. No matter how you look at it, I'm the victim … "
If everything was as he said, Tom Riddle was indeed wronged.
This was another essential difference between him and other soul armaments. He wasn't created by killing people.
From this point of view, it was really a special Soul Tool, not a Soul Tool that was evil.
Moreover, he was independent from the main soul of the Lord Voldemort. So, they really had no reason to destroy him.
This feeling was like killing a fifteen-year-old boy for no reason. But this boy was the Lord Voldemort in his youth.
If they chose to let him go, who knew what he would become in the future? Would he become the Lord Voldemort again?!
This was hard to say, and Elwyn didn't have a specific answer.
If he had to answer, he could only say that the current Dumbledore had changed a lot compared to half a century ago.
