HP Approaches the Magical World

Chapter 279: Open and Honest: Candidates

Dumbledore's so-called short description actually took a long time.

Perhaps it is a common problem of educators. Once they start teaching and educating people, it is easy for them not to stop.

Especially when the student sitting across from him continued to give feedback, clearly expressing that he had gained something.

Jon actually knows more about the function of Horcruxes and the principle of manufacturing. Of course, knowing the principles and methods of manufacturing does not mean that he can use them, and he has no need to use Horcrux magic.

Even if he wants to pursue immortality, he still has to work hard on his own. The crooked methods of Horcruxes are deviant techniques created with no hope of immortality, and there is definitely no way to achieve success.

Otherwise, the wizard who created the Horcrux would have acquired the ability of immortality long ago, so it would be Voldemort's turn to do his best now.

Obviously Dumbledore is also very clear about this point. According to the situation he described, the Horcrux can indeed keep the soul of the wizard immortal, but that's all. The way to maintain the immortal soul between Horcruxes is through powerful protection And weak connection to achieve the result of "preservation" of the soul.

The horcrux only has the effect of preserving the soul, it just maintains the existence of the soul, and at the same time adds some temptation spells to confuse the person who opened the horcrux, complete the effect of soul possession, and thus achieve resurrection—because generally

The oldest record of this thing appeared after the end of the Dark Ages, and the specific time has not been verified. However, according to the inferences of the researchers, the production theory of the Horcrux should come from the blending and evolution of ancient Egyptian mythology and Western culture.

In ancient Egyptian mythology, there was a god named Horus, who was the son of Osiris, the king of the underworld, and Isis, the goddess of life and magic. The throne was designed to kill, so when Horus grew up, he devoted himself to defeating his evil uncle and taking back his father's kingdom.

As a result of this struggle, Horus was blinded in one eye, and in order to mediate the struggle between them, Horus' grandfather, Geb, the god of the earth, called the nine pillars of gods to gather to arbitrate the matter, and finally divided Egypt into three kingdoms. The upper and lower parts, Upper Egypt belongs to Seth, and Lower Egypt belongs to Horus.

But in the end Horus unified Egypt and became the only monarch of Egypt.

But these stories have nothing to do with Horcruxes, what really has to do with Horus' father, Osiris, the god of the underworld, and Anubis, the god of death, son of the desert god Seth.

After Osiris was killed by his younger brother Seth, his wife Isis used magic to resurrect him, but then he was killed by Seth again, and his body was divided into fourteen pieces by Seth, making seven parts After eight it was thrown away.

This time, the body of Osiris was collected by Isis and Nephthys (the wife of Seth, the goddess of death, the sister and opposite of the goddess of life Isis), but the part responsible for fertility was missing.

Later, Anubis, the son of Nephthys, resurrected Osiris as a mummy, because each part of the body hides a part of the soul, so as long as one part of the body is not damaged, Osiris will not die. It is the source of the Horcrux.

In fact, this kind of thing made according to the legacy of civilization in the age of mythology can basically pull out some ancient mythological history in every paragraph.

Isis was still the witch master in the Middle Ages in Europe, although at that time,

The gods have already either died or closed themselves in the derivative world, but these things have been handed down after all.

Because wizards like to find a very powerful past for their own stories and past to satisfy some strange purposes of their own.

It has to be said that it is quite useful. On this point, Jon has a great say.

After all, he himself is the beneficiary.

Dumbledore explained the past of the Horcrux, and Jon naturally couldn't pretend to be confused anymore.

"If that's the case, then things are really tricky."

Although he said so, Jon didn't think the suggestion he just made was a reliable and good suggestion.

It was just a casual remark, and I didn't expect it to lead to Dumbledore's long speech about Horcruxes.

"If Voldemort has Horcruxes, wouldn't he have to get rid of all his Horcruxes first?"

"Definitely."

Dumbledore sighed, "It's a pity that we haven't found any traces related to Voldemort so far, let alone his Horcrux. I always thought he would hide the Horcrux in the dark forest of Albania. But for some reason, I can't go there."

Jon found that Dumbledore had been looking at him while saying this, which made him a little uncomfortable.

The "some reason" that Dumbledore said must be related to Grindelwald, but normally, Dumbledore's guess is very reasonable.

When reading the original book, Jon once had this kind of question. It is clear that the Dark Forest is the place where Voldemort lived most often in the past ten years, and he has traveled there, so he does not know the specifics. In the case of the Horcrux, the possibility of this guess is very high.

Moreover, from Jon's perspective, Voldemort also has a reason to hide Horcruxes in the Dark Forest-he once hid Ravenclaw's diadem there.

Of course, this is not the area that Jon should be responsible for.

"If I were Voldemort, I wouldn't put the Horcruxes in the same place, so Voldemort must have other places besides the Dark Forest to store the Horcruxes. You might as well start looking for them in these places."

Anyway, I can't find it for a while, so there is really no need to worry about this matter.

There is nothing to say about Helga. Jon has already said what should be said, and what should not be said. If there is a chance, Dumbledore can ask Helga himself, without Jon intervening.

The conversation between them revolved around the crypt, experienced Helga's affairs, and then involved Voldemort and Horcruxes. Even Jon found it a bit annoying to jump out of the whole process.

But Dumbledore still has a little bit of meaning that the more he talks, the more energetic he is, which makes Jon admire him very much.

No wonder people say that the more successful a person is, the more vigorous he is. At Dumbledore's age, it is difficult for even a wizard to maintain such energy.

"Speaking of which, there is one last thing, you help me think about it." Dumbledore pressed a finger on the table, "Next year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor has not yet been found, which professor in the school is more suitable? "
