After a long time, Harry came back to his senses and asked, "Elwyn, did Dumbledore tell you all this? He didn't tell me anything. "
"Most of it is my own investigation and speculation. That's why I said it might not be appropriate for me to tell you these things." Elwyn said and shook his head. "As far as I know, Dumbledore didn't tell anyone about these things. He has been blaming himself for Arianna's death. On the night when Dumbledore and I went to the Gunter family's hut to look for the Soul Vessel, we saw the Resurrection Stone on the ring. This is one of the three Sacred Instruments of Death. It has the power to resurrect the dead. However, this stone can only let people see the shadow of the dead, not a true resurrection. Dumbledore was deeply immersed in it at that time and almost fell into a trap … The curse that Blackdevil left on the ring. That night, it was the only time the headmaster mentioned his family to me. Although he didn't say much, I could feel his nostalgia, self-blame, and remorse. "
"I don't know about these things you said," Harry said gloomily, "I have never thought about understanding Dumbledore's past."
His mind was a little confused. Logically speaking, what Elwyn told him should make him feel better. At least he knew that Dumbledore didn't confine and hide his sister. He didn't stand by and watch the abuse and neglect. It wasn't like what Rita Skeeter said, but the reality was that it wasn't.
Although Elwyn said that he investigated these things himself, Dumbledore did tell him some things or revealed some clues to him. However, Dumbledore didn't tell Harry anything, nor did he explain anything.
Harry wasn't sure if Dumbledore really wanted him to understand these things, or if he really didn't say it because he blamed himself too much. He wasn't even sure if Dumbledore really cared about him. Or did he just see him as a tool that needed to be sharpened, but he didn't trust him and would never tell him his secrets?
In short, Harry's mind was a mess, even messier than last night.
Dumbledore's past and Dumbledore's true feelings towards him. Which one was more important?
Harry felt that he was a little confused. He didn't know what he was thinking or what he wanted. He couldn't help but have terrible thoughts. He had some cruel thoughts now, and he wasn't even sure if they came from Lord Voldemort or his own heart.
Whether it was Elwyn or Harry, neither thought that Lord Voldemort's main soul was frequently connecting to his remaining Soul Vessels due to the instability of his soul. Harry's thoughts were happening to the other Vessels.
Following the progress of that terrifying black magic, Lord Voldemort's broken body could no longer contain the restless main soul.
"It's precisely because we aren't clear that we need to investigate. But the one who is most clear about these matters is Dumbledore himself. I believe that if there's a chance, he will be very willing to tell you. After all, this involves a disgraceful past. No matter who it is, they wouldn't casually … Harry, are you listening to me?" Elwyn said. He noticed that Harry was a little distracted, as though he wasn't listening to what he was saying. "Your scars are starting to hurt again? What did you see? His emotions are becoming unstable again? "
"No!" Harry shook his head. "I didn't see anything. Maybe I just didn't sleep well …"
"Then take a rest, don't force yourself. Before we start our operation, I want to go to Gringotts first. Don't worry, Harry, I still have the compound decoction, no one will recognize me! You don't need to follow me. This isn't an official operation, I'm only going to investigate the situation at Gringotts. From what I see, what you need to do now is to finish your breakfast. If Hermione and Elaine come down, let them know. If there aren't any accidents, I'll be back roughly half an hour later. "
Elwyn stood up. He fished out the compound decoction and a set of adult clothes from his pocket. At the same time, he carefully sized up the pale faced Harry. His current state was very worrying, but he didn't have any better ideas. He could only speed up and resolve these matters.
The final path could only be walked by Harry alone. The suffering he was experiencing now would become his wealth for victory.
Elwyn tilted his head back and drank the compound decoction. Under the scorching heat, his body gradually stretched, finally transforming into a middle-aged robust man. He was roughly 30 years old, had golden hair, a big belly, and a slightly bald head.
"Who is this?" Harry perked up and asked.
"Talon Vaughn!" Elwyn replied. His voice was a little hoarse, "An oily middle-aged Muggle. He's an employee of my father's company. He once picked me up in his car during the holidays, and I asked him for a few strands of hair. In the magic world, no one would recognize him. Of course, now that he's a Magus, it's best if he has a pureblood Magus surname. Hmm, let me think. What about Bulstrode? He's an ancient pureblood Magus family. I happen to know their family tree, so I can tell you the ins and outs of this identity. Speaking of which, he and Sirius are related! The key is that there aren't many people left in this family, so it's easy to impersonate them. How about it, Harry? "
"Sounds impressive." Harry evaluated.
"It's not perfect. If I'm stopped, they might check my wand, and then I'll be exposed!" Elwyn said, "Moreover, we can't use this identity to sneak into Gringotts. Those pixies are much harder to deal with than the Death Eaters or the Ministry of Magic's Auror. They're naturally filled with distrust towards human Magi, and it's hard to confuse them, not to mention this kind of fake identity. Therefore, we need to impersonate those Magi with 'status'."
"Magi with status? You mean those Death Eaters? "
"They're the ones with the highest status now, aren't they?" Elwyn said as he put on his clothes. "Moreover, if we want to enter Bellatrix Lestrange's treasury, it's best to impersonate a Magus in the same area as her treasury. That'll be much more convenient. If it really doesn't work, then we can only barge in, or try using the Soul Snatch Curse on the pixies. This is our last resort. "
Controlling a pixies to lead them down wasn't too difficult for Elwyn.
However, Gringotts' defensive measures definitely included precautions, so it might not work.
If possible, Elwyn hoped that things would be slightly simpler.
