As for Elwyn, who clearly felt these changes, he felt that it was very strange. Except for him, who had experienced the change in time, no one else, as a participant, could feel this change. Only Elwyn knew that this world was different from the past.
Others only knew that Lord Voldemort was becoming more evil and powerful, but they did not know that this was a change that should not have happened.
"You should go back, Tom. Time..." Slughorn reminded him again.
"Sorry, Professor, I have a few last questions about the Soul Vessel." Riddle came to his senses and said, "Just out of curiosity, I want to ask, is a Soul Vessel useful? Can a soul only be split once? Isn't it better to split a few more pieces to make you stronger? For example, isn't seven the most magical number? Seven? "
"My God, Tom!" exclaimed Slughorn, who was really taken aback by Riddle's question. "Seven! Isn't it evil enough to want to kill a person? In any case, splitting a soul is evil enough!!! And splitting it into seven pieces... "
Slughorn now looked very uneasy: he stared at Riddle as if he had not seen him clearly before.
It was obvious that he was regretting participating in this conversation.
At this moment, Slughorn finally realized that something was wrong. Riddle's idea was not as simple as understanding.
Anyone who wanted to split his soul into seven pieces was either a fool who did not know what he was talking about, or a lunatic who had fallen beyond redemption. And Tom Riddle, no matter how you looked at it, belonged to the latter.
"Of course, of course," he whispered. "What we're talking about is hypothetical, isn't it, Tom? It's just academic … "
"Yes, Professor, of course," Riddle said immediately.
"But, Tom... what I said, what we've just discussed, it's better not to say a word. People won't be happy if they know we talked about Soul Vessels. This is forbidden at Hogwarts. You know, Dumbledore is especially intense. We'd better... "
"Don't worry, Professor. I won't tell anyone," Riddle said and left.
He turned around, and Elwyn, Harry, and Dumbledore could see his face. It was filled with ecstasy, just like when he first found out that he was a wizard. The joy did not make his face more handsome, but rather, it made him look more ferocious.
"Here we are, Elwyn, Harry!" whispered Dumbledore. "Let's go …"
Elwyn and Harry landed on the floor of the office. Dumbledore was already sitting behind the desk.
The two of them also sat down. Before Dumbledore could speak, Elwyn said, "Professor, the Lord Voldemort made seven soul tools."
"Yes, I also guessed this number at first. As Riddle said, seven is the most magical number. In fact, I've been waiting for this evidence for a long time, "said Dumbledore." It confirms my speculation and proves that I'm right … "
"The Gaunt Family's Ring, Riddle's Diary, Slytherin's Locket, Hufflepuff's Golden Cup, Ravenclaw's Coronet, the Statue of the Evil God …" Elwyn said one by one, listing out the soul tools of the Lord Voldemort.
He noticed that the old headmasters in the portraits on the wall were all awake and eavesdropping on their conversation. A fat wizard with a red nose even took out a hearing aid.
"There are six already. There's one more that we don't know about," Elwyn said at last.
Of course, he knew what the last soul tool was, but he could not say it out loud because it was Harry Potter!
Harry Potter was the last of the seven soul tools of the Lord Voldemort. It was a soul tool that was accidentally born.
From Elwyn's point of view, destroying this soul tool was the most difficult problem. Until now, he did not have any good ideas.
Because it meant that Harry had to die!
It was better to leave it to Dumbledore to deal with, to teach Harry how to properly face death and resurrect from the dead …
"Maybe he didn't have time to make the last soul tool. We already know that the Lord Voldemort did not randomly choose objects to store his soul, but chose objects that were related to the history of the Hogwarts." Dumbledore paused for a moment and continued, "Of course, he could have already made the seventh soul tool, using an object or method that we don't know about …"
He glanced at Harry and changed the topic.
"In fact, Elwyn, Harry, the memory that we saw just now is very important. The number of soul tools that the Lord Voldemort wished to make is only one of the important messages that it conveys. I believe that the two of you should understand the importance of the conversation just now. At your age, the sixteen-year-old Tom Riddle was trying to find out how he could never die. "
"He obviously achieved his goal. After he failed to attack me, he did not die." Harry said, noticing Dumbledore's gaze on him, but did not think much of it. "Because he made many soul tools, he was fine even if he was hit by the Avada Curse."
"Yes, this is the function of the soul tool. As long as one part of the soul is safe, he will not die." Dumbledore said, "As Elwyn said just now, we can confirm that the number of soul tools that the Lord Voldemort has is six. Among them, the Statue of the Evil God was made recently, and the last one is uncertain. In other words, before he failed and escaped last time, he had made at least five soul tools, which is a shocking number. We all heard it just now. What he wanted to know from Slughorn was what would happen if a wizard made more than one soul tool. If a wizard killed many people to escape death, split his soul many times, and stored it in more than one soul tool, what would happen. No book could give him this knowledge. As far as I know, and I think the Lord Voldemort also knows, before him, no wizard has ever split his soul into more than two parts. Even the despicable inventor of this magic, Hylbo, did not do it. "
"It's not that he didn't do it, but that he didn't dare to do it. This is a bold and crazy idea," Elwyn said.
Even if an even more evil Evil God appeared now, thinking back on this matter, he still felt that the Lord Voldemort was very scary.
This scary was not only cruel to his enemies, but also unimaginably cruel to himself.
The soul had been split again and again. The evil, the pain, the torture …
Just thinking about it was enough to scare people.
Many dark Magi who had reached a certain level of wickedness would consider making a soul tool, but they would never make more than two, let alone seven.
