Regarding the soul fragment of Lord Voldemort in the Resurrection Stone, the fifteen-year-old Tom Riddle, it was indeed very abnormal.
This was something that Elwyn was very concerned about, and he had many questions.
From a magical perspective, that fellow was a soul vessel, and to defeat Lord Voldemort, he had to destroy it.
However, according to Riddle's story and observations, it was very likely that it was a special soul fragment formed by all the kindness of Lord Voldemort. For some reason that Elwyn and the others did not know, it was stripped from Lord Voldemort's main soul by a mysterious existence. It was very different from other soul vessels, and they had to be careful.
After discovering Riddle's special condition, Dumbledore did not destroy it, but kept it for research. No one knew what he had discovered. As for how to deal with the Resurrection Stone, Elwyn had not thought about it. He had always wanted to figure out this matter.
Even if Dumbledore did not mention it, he would have taken the initiative to ask. Elwyn thought for a moment and asked, "Professor, was the Riddle in the Resurrection Stone deliberately left behind by Hilbert?"
Dumbledore shook his head, and there was a moment of silence.
"Hilbert had already been sealed by Salazar Slytherin at that time, so he should not have the intention or ability to do such a thing. The fifteen-year-old Riddle also had no special meaning to him. What he needed was death to recover his strength and break free from the seal."
"So Riddle was …"
"It should have been left behind by Salazar Slytherin. He had a special meaning to Slytherin. We all know that the first owner of the Resurrection Stone was the second of the three Peverell brothers, Slytherin Peverell. However, when the Resurrection Stone was discovered, it was already embedded in Slytherin's ring and passed down in the Gunter Family for generations. It is very likely that Salazar Slytherin found it. After you returned to the Hogwarts a thousand years ago for the first time, he left some magic in the Resurrection Stone to give his last descendant a chance. "
"If it was Slytherin who stripped Lord Voldemort's kindness to form the fifteen-year-old Riddle, what chance did he want to keep?"
"I'm guessing that this is a chance for atonement, a chance to redeem the honor of the Slytherin Family." Dumbledore said, "There is no doubt that Salazar Slytherin attaches great importance to bloodline and family honor. This has always been the tradition of Slytherin Academy."
"What does he want with a fifteen-year-old Riddle?" Elwyn asked.
"Maybe he wanted Riddle to continue on the path of death!"
"I don't understand what you mean." Elwyn said. What Dumbledore was saying now was simply inconceivable.
Did Slytherin strip Lord Voldemort's kindness and a part of his soul just to let him die?!
"This matter is rather complicated to explain. First of all, it involves the Resurrection Stone itself!" Dumbledore said, "We just guessed that, like the old wand, the Resurrection Stone is also a weapon. Every person who possesses the Resurrection Stone will end up dead, because it cannot truly resurrect the dead. Instead, it will summon back some pessimistic souls … I can only use this term to describe the dead that the Resurrection Stone resurrects, because they are neither ghosts nor living people with flesh and blood, nor are they some kind of phantom. They have the memory of the dead and are some kind of strange existence that can give responses. That's why I call them souls of the dead. No matter what, this is a very rare kind of magic that only the Resurrection Stone can do."
Indeed, as far as Elwyn knew, other than the Resurrection Stone, there was no other magic, including black magic, that could resurrect the dead. Even if the people that the Resurrection Stone summoned back were not real, it was still inconceivable.
But what did this have to do with the fifteen-year-old Riddle that Slytherin left behind?
"The Resurrection Stone does not belong to the magic system that we are familiar with. It has special magic that can summon souls of the dead." Dumbledore continued, "Magic does not appear out of thin air. It comes from the world that humans go to after they die."
"The special magic that comes from the world that humans go to after they die …"
Elwyn's heart skipped a beat. Could this be the power of the Shadow Kingdom that Salazar Slytherin had told him before?
Slytherin had said that the despicable Herbo created this space to steal the power of the Shadow Kingdom and make it stronger. In other words, the magic of the Resurrection Stone came from the Shadow Kingdom!
"Professor, the world that you are talking about is the Shadow Kingdom?" Elwyn asked. "Slytherin mentioned it to me before."
"I don't know the specific name, but obviously there is such a place. For a long time, there have been many legends in the world of magic. Many ghosts have also said similar things. They said that they saw a brand new world when they died. In some very ancient materials, we can also see a few words about that world. People can only go there after they die, "said Dumbledore. "I have been guessing before. When I was studying the Sacred Relic of Death, I also found a lot of information. That world does exist, and the magic of the Sorcerer's Stone also comes from it. It has a connection with that world, so it can resurrect the dead. Even if it is not a real resurrection, it is just an incomplete summon of the soul of the dead."
"The Resurrection Stone has a connection with the Shadow Kingdom." Elwyn paused for a while, digesting the information he got from Dumbledore. At the same time, he made a connection with the information he had. "Slytherin hoped that the fifteen-year-old Riddle could continue on the path of death. He hoped that Riddle could go to the Shadow Kingdom! But why did he do this? What is there? What special meaning does it have to him? By the way, Slytherin told me that Herbo tried to steal power from the Shadow Kingdom … "
"These are all guesses. After all, no wizard who went there has ever come back." Dumbledore said calmly, "Now we can only guess according to the clues we found. It is very likely to be a battlefield."
"A battlefield?" Elwyn looked at Dumbledore in surprise. His words were getting more and more shocking.
"An ancient battlefield left behind by a war that lasted for thousands of years. That war may have led to the destruction of the previous Magic Era. The ancient spellcasters, the wizards of the past thousands of years, and all the Muggles would go to that world after they died. They fought there, and their opponents were the bodies of the evil gods that you saw, those incomparably powerful monsters. This protracted war was beyond the imagination of the people, and the way it was carried out was also different from what we are familiar with. But there is one thing, only the truly brave can go on and start this new great journey! For all the dead, this is a great honor! "
