Slughorn stopped abruptly and refused to continue.
"Seal? But how... "Riddle asked again.
"There's a spell. Don't ask me, I don't know!" Slughorn shook his head like an elephant that had been bitten by a mosquito. He was impatient and angry at Riddle's inappropriate questioning. "Do I look like I've tried it? Do I look like a murderer? "
"No, Professor, of course not!" Riddle said hurriedly. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend..."
"Not at all, not at all." Slughorn quickly returned to his usual self and said in a gruff voice, "It's normal to be curious about these things, Tom. I understand. Talented wizards are always attracted to magic..."
"Yes, Professor!" Riddle said. "But what I don't understand is... other than the method you mentioned, are there other ways to split the soul of a Soul Vessel? For example, being split by someone else using some kind of magic? Not murder, but... entering a strange world, meeting the Grim Reaper or a powerful wizard, and then a part of the soul is split? "
"Are you talking about dreaming, Tom?" Slughorn smiled again. "Haha, such a situation doesn't exist in reality. In my opinion, you must be under too much pressure and let your imagination run wild. After all, this kind of evil magic shouldn't be taboo to us."
"Maybe," Riddle said. "Professor, are there other ways to split the soul?"
"The only way to split the soul is the one I told you just now. Some evil black magic can extract a person's soul from the body, but doing so is a kind of harm, which is contrary to the purpose of making a Soul Vessel in the hope of immortality. No one can directly help others make a Soul Vessel with magic. But, um, wait, I suddenly remembered a legend... "
"What legend?"
"It's about the Soul Vessel and Salazar Slytherin," Slughorn said uncertainly. Slughorn said uncertainly, "This is a very old legend, or rather a rumor. You should have heard that Slythrin left behind a secret room in this school."
"Yes, Professor, I've heard about it. It's said that the great Slytherin left a weapon in that secret room for his successor to purify the Hogwarts and drive away those wizards with impure blood." Riddle was obviously interested. "But what does this have to do with the Soul Vessel?"
Elwyn also focused his attention. This was information he did not have.
According to the theory of time magic, the content of this conversation did not happen before he returned to the Hogwarts a thousand years ago. In other words, after Elwyn changed history, Riddle only created the first Soul Vessel because of Slytherin's magic, an unexpected Soul Vessel. Therefore, he asked Slughorn about this information, and Slughorn told him about the Soul Vessel and the secret room.
Just as Riddle was curious, so was Elwyn. What was the connection between Slytherin's secret room and the Soul Vessel?
According to the time, Riddle should have found the relevant information about the secret room by now. Not long after, he would open the secret room and release the snake monster, causing Weeping Myrtle's death, Hagrid's expulsion and a series of vicious events. Furthermore, he used this murder to create his first Soul Armament: Riddle's Diary.
In the secret room, in addition to the snake monster left by Slytherin, there was also the secret treasure left by the four founders.
The secret room was the entrance to the treasure, but there was nothing related to the Soul Vessel.
Or did Slytherin leave something behind, and Riddle took it after opening the secret room?
Elwyn still had the same idea. Salazar Slytherin was the most troublesome and dangerous of the four founders.
This powerful wizard had some crazy ideas. He clearly knew from Elwyn that Lord Voldemort created the Soul Vessel, but he deliberately left information related to the Soul Vessel, magic, and even more dangerous magic for Lord Voldemort. What was he trying to do?
Did he think the difficulty was not high enough? Or that the situation was not messy enough?
With his help, the difficulty of Elwyn and the others defeating Lord Voldemort had increased by several times.
"Slytherin left a secret room, but I'm not sure if there's a weapon in it that can purify the school. I know what you mean by purifying, but you should tell me about it in the future. Don't let Professor Dumbledore hear it. Tom, he won't like this idea. It's not good for your future development in the Ministry of Magic, "Slughorn said kindly. "I heard the legend that the thing Slytherin left in the secret room is related to the Soul Vessel. Well, I guess it's a magic, not a magic to create the Soul Vessel, but a magic to become something more advanced than the Soul Vessel. The Soul Vessel is just the beginning of this magic, Tom. "
"Beginning?! You mean, some kind of magic that surpasses immortality and immortality?! "Riddle's tone became more greedy.
"It should be," Slughorn said. "But it's just a legend. No, it's more accurate to say that it's a rumor. After all, so many years have passed, and no one has ever found the secret room in the school …"
Elwyn suddenly understood. Something more advanced than the Soul Vessel? Could he be talking about the Evil God?
The secret room left by Slytherin that Slughorn mentioned was not the one with the entrance in the bathroom on the third floor, but the one in the nest of the Eight-eyed Spider, which was the underground relic where the Evil God's body, the "eyeball monster", was sealed.
It was another secret room left by Salazar Slytherin in the Hogwarts.
Slytherin left the magic to become an Evil God there, but Lord Voldemort did not find that place in the end.
Only after Hagrid released Aragok into the Forbidden Forest did the spiders find the secret room at the bottom of the bottom line.
The magic to become an Evil God was engraved on the wall of the secret room, and the first step was to collect other people's souls. That was probably what Slughorn wanted to say.
But the Soul Vessel was just the beginning of the magic. What did it mean?
Things began to develop in a strange direction. Compared to the information of the past, new information appeared again, and many of the information was related to each other.
Due to the effects of Time Magic, many things had changed without anyone noticing.
For example, at this moment, the young Tom Riddle in Slughorn's memory did not have so much information. He did not have a clear understanding of the quietly changing world. Things were still moving forward according to the original trajectory, but many changes had taken place.
