Dumbledore's brief description actually took a long time.
Perhaps it was a common problem for educators. Once they started teaching and educating people, it was easy for them to not stop.
This was especially true when the student sitting opposite him kept giving feedback, obviously indicating that he had learned something.
Jon was actually more familiar with the use of soul tools and the principle of making them. Of course, knowing the principle and method of making soul tools did not mean that he could use them. Besides, he did not need to use soul tools.
Even if he wanted to pursue immortality, he would have to rely on his own efforts. Soul tools were crooked methods that were created by those who had no hope of achieving immortality. There was no way to succeed in achieving immortality.
Otherwise, Wizard, who created soul tools, would have obtained immortality long ago. Voldemort would not have been able to do whatever he wanted now.
Dumbledore was obviously very clear about this. According to his description, soul tools could indeed preserve Wizard's soul, but that was it. The way to preserve the soul between soul tools was through strong protection and weak connection to achieve the result of the "preservation" of the soul.
Soul tools only had the effect of preserving the soul. They only maintained the existence of the soul. At the same time, they added some enticing spells to make it easier to confuse the person who opened the soul tool to complete the soul's possession effect and achieve resurrection.
The oldest record of soul tools appeared after the end of the Dark Age. The specific date was unknown, but according to the inference of researchers, the theory of soul tools should come from the fusion and evolution of ancient Egyptian mythology and western culture.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, there was a god named Horus. He was the son of Osiris, the God of Hell, and Isis, the Goddess of Life and Magic. However, because his father was killed by his uncle, Seth, the God of Desert and War, because he was jealous of the throne, when Horus grew up, he devoted himself to defeating his evil uncle and taking back his father's kingdom.
The result of this struggle was that Horus was blind in one eye. In order to mediate between the two, Horus' grandfather, the God of Earth, called for the Nine Pillar Gods to gather together to arbitrate the matter. In the end, Egypt was divided into upper and lower parts. Upper Egypt belonged to Seth, and lower Egypt belonged to Horus.
In the end, however, Horus managed to unify Egypt and become the sole ruler of Egypt.
However, these stories had nothing to do with the Soul Vessel. What was truly related was Horus' father, Osiris, the Underworld King, and Anubis, the God of Death, the son of Seth, the God of the Desert.
After Osiris was killed by his younger brother, Seth, his wife, Isis, used magic to resurrect him. But then he was killed by Seth, and his body was divided into 14 pieces by Seth. After that, he was thrown away.
This time, Osiris's body was collected by Isis and Nefertiti (Seth's wife, the Goddess of Death, the Goddess of Life, and the opposite of Isis), but the part responsible for fertility was missing.
After that, Anubis, the son of Neferdis, made Osiris into a mummy and resurrected him. Because every part of the body hid a part of the soul, as long as a part of the body was not destroyed, Osiris would not die. This was the origin of the soul tool.
In fact, this kind of thing was made according to the remains of the civilization of the Mythological Era. Basically, every part of it could be pulled out from the ancient mythological history.
Isis was the Witch Grand Master of the European Middle Ages. Although at that time, the gods had either died or were isolated in their derivative worlds, these things were still passed down.
Because the Wizard liked to find a very powerful past for his own stories and past to satisfy some of his strange purposes.
It had to be said that it was quite useful. On this point, Jon had a lot of right to speak.
After all, he himself was the beneficiary.
After Dumbledore explained the past of the Soul Vessel, Jon naturally could no longer pretend to be confused.
"If that's the case, then things are really tricky."
Although Jon said so, he didn't think that the suggestion he just made was a good one.
It was just a casual remark, and he didn't expect it to cause Dumbledore to have a long talk about the Soul Vessel.
"If Voldemort has a Soul Vessel, then wouldn't we have to get rid of all his Soul Vessels first?"
"That's for sure."
Dumbledore sighed, "Unfortunately, so far, we haven't found any traces related to Voldemort, let alone his Soul Vessel. I always thought that he would hide the Soul Vessel in the Dark Forest in Albania, but because of some reasons, I can't go there."
Jon found that Dumbledore kept looking at him when he said this, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Dumbledore's "some reasons" were definitely related to Grindelwald, but generally speaking, Dumbledore's guess was very reasonable.
When reading the original work, Jon had this question. Obviously, the Dark Forest was the place where Voldemort lived most often in the past ten years. In addition, he had traveled there before, so without knowing the specific location of the Soul Vessel, the possibility of this guess was very high.
Moreover, from Jon's point of view, Voldemort also had a reason to hide the Soul Vessel in the Dark Forest — he once hid Ravenclaw's Crown there.
Of course, this wasn't something that Jon was responsible for.
"If I were Voldemort, I wouldn't put the soul items in the same place. Therefore, Voldemort must have other places besides the Dark Forest to store soul items. Why don't you start looking for them in these places?"
In any case, they wouldn't be able to find it in a short time, so there was no need to rush this matter.
There was nothing much to say about Helga's matter. Jon had said what should be said, and if there was a chance, Dumbledore could ask Helga himself. There was no need for Jon to interfere.
The conversation between them revolved around the crypt. After experiencing Helga's matter, they moved on to Voldemort and the Soul Vessel. The whole process jumped around so much that even Jon felt a little annoyed.
However, the more Dumbledore talked, the more spirited he became, which made Jon admire him very much.
No wonder people said that the more successful a person was, the more vigorous they would be. At Dumbledore's age, even Wizard would find it difficult to maintain such vigor.
"Speaking of which, there is one last thing that I need you to help me think of." Dumbledore pressed a finger on the table. "Next year's Defense Against Black Magic professor hasn't been decided yet. Which professor in the school do you think is suitable?"
