Chapter 188 The greatness of sacrifice does not lie in the results achieved

Once again, they came to the cliff where Adam and Regulus had made an unbreakable vow. This time, they came for a barbecue.

"So, has Voldemort been destroyed now?"

Sitting on a small bench, Regulus looked at the Daily Prophet in his hand with great interest.

"No, and he will be resurrected in the first half of next year."

Adam flipped the skewers in his hand:

"Do you want it spicy?"

"But it says... no spicy, thank you... It says Voldemort is dead, and we have destroyed his Horcrux, right?"

Regulus raised the Daily Prophet in his hand more than ten years ago in shock. Although the things in the newspaper cannot be trusted, Voldemort will be killed if he writes such news randomly, right?

"Who said Voldemort can only have one Horcrux?"

Adam shrugged his shoulders,

"I have already dealt with five, and there are still two."

Regulus's expression was blank for a moment.

When Regulus first found out about Voldemort's death, he thought it was his sacrifice that worked. Kreacher took out the Horcrux and destroyed it, turning Voldemort into a mortal who could be killed, but now...

"Have the Horcruxes that Kreacher took out been destroyed?"

In order to ensure the closed loop of time, Adam used the same method as the fake gold cup to make a fake locket for Kreacher to take away.

It is called a fake locket, but in fact, apart from the "MADE BY READ" inside, there is only one difference between it and the real locket, that is, the fake locket will disappear after Adam takes out the bookmark.

Adam looked at him and shook his head:

"No, Kreacher does not know how to destroy the Horcrux."

Seeing Adam shaking his head and hearing Adam's answer, Regulus' face turned pale like a ghost.

He clenched his fists, and a nameless flame rose from his heart. After expanding to a certain extent, it inexplicably dissipated like a balloon that was punctured.

The Horcrux was not destroyed, so the Horcrux he exchanged for his life in the original timeline was actually useless in the end. What was the value of his sacrifice?

It was just like a joke.

He even put the suicide note in the box in all seriousness!

Regulus grabbed his hair fiercely. He didn't know what his face looked like now, but it must be ugly.

"The water quality in the UK is not good to begin with. If you grab more, you will be bald."

Adam's words made Regulus's hand holding his hair tremble, and he subconsciously let go.

"The greatness of sacrifice has nothing to do with the results of the sacrifice."

Adam looked at Regulus with an extremely firm look in his eyes:

"Sacrifice itself is great... You are a hero, Regulus."

That's why he didn't just pick up the real Horcrux and leave, and asked Regulus to put the fake Horcrux and suicide note in, instead of directly telling him "Don't make such a fuss, Voldemort can't see it at all."

Strictly speaking, in the original book, Regulus' sacrifice had no effect except that Dumbledore drank a pot of potion in vain, which brought him one step closer to death, but no one would doubt his bravery and sacrifice.

The reason why everyone admired him was that he made that decision and drank the pot of potion in one mouthful after another, just like Professor Dumbledore.

"I'm not a hero... I didn't do anything."

Regulus was a little embarrassed by what he said, after all, he was really pulled back to more than ten years later by Adam before he had time to do anything.

Adam smiled and shook his head, and handed him the grilled kebab:

"Don't think too much, eat first. After eating, we have to talk about other things, such as your future life..."

After talking to Regulus about his future arrangements and making some preparations, Adam returned to Hogwarts on the last day of the holiday.

He started to get busy again, transforming Adam cards, studying time magic, studying the Inferi, arranging matters for the restaurant...

Thanks to Regulus, he has some connections with house elves. In order to maintain their extravagant lives, many pure-blood families who are unable to make ends meet are willing to exchange their extra house elves for a large sum of money.

These guys will not disappear just because more than ten years have passed. With Adam providing recipes, Regulus only needs a few house elves to easily run a restaurant by himself.

In the wizarding world, opening a restaurant does not require tax returns, various certificates, or even water, electricity, and gas bills. It is simply perfect.

There is also a small episode. Regulus proposed to set aside a small piece of the restaurant's land to open a bar, so that he can realize his previous wish and drink wine alone at the bar for a day.

First of all, alcoholism is not a good habit. Adam said that he would only drink the sweet wine sold in his own bar in the future, and the wine transformed from the Gan card would not harm the body.

Secondly, Adam told him that there was no rush for the bar. He could buy a few more plots of land after Voldemort was resurrected, and then consider the bar. The land would be very cheap, and everyone would definitely need alcohol to vent their fear.

Regulus looked at him with a complicated expression, and then went to prepare for the restaurant.

Leaving the restaurant to Regulus, Adam plunged into the ocean of magic, but before he could swim a few laps, he was picked up by Professor Dumbledore.

"Adam..."

Rarely, Professor Dumbledore didn't even look at the small cake on the table, staring straight at Adam.

"Professor Dumbledore, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Looking at Adam, Professor Dumbledore was silent for a moment, then said:

"It's about the Horcrux that we didn't finish talking about before."

Adam noticed that Grindelwald and Fawkes were not here today, so...

"Among the seven Horcruxes, the Deathly Hallows and the founder's relics that you speculated before are impossible."

Professor Dumbledore picked up a sword from his hand and put it on the table, and then took out the wand in the wand case:

"Godric Gryffindor's sword, it has never left Hogwarts, Voldemort can't get it, and the old wand in the Deathly Hallows... It has been in my hands for a long time."

When Adam picked up the two treasures with surprise and looked at them, Professor Dumbledore continued:

"I can also guarantee that Voldemort has no chance of touching the remaining Deathly Hallows."

"So the remaining two Horcruxes are still in doubt... This range is too large."

Adam put the two treasures back on the table, stretched out his hand to cover the lower half of his face, looking thoughtful.

"No, I can probably confirm that one of them is Harry."

Professor Dumbledore shook his head.

"Harry? Can a living person be made into a Horcrux?"

Adam looked surprised.

"I was also surprised, but there is indeed some connection between Harry and Voldemort. I think it was because he killed Harry's parents at that time, and then when the Killing Curse was rebounded, his soul was accidentally split once, which created Harry's special Horcrux. Voldemort himself probably didn't realize this."

Professor Dumbledore looked at Adam:

"So can I ask, how do you remove the soul fragments on the Horcrux while retaining the carrier? By the way, if it is convenient, let me see the Horcruxes that have been removed of soul fragments."
