Chapter 54

To be honest, when Dumbledore said this, Solim was still surprised. The ring on his right hand was a wand secret that only he and his grandfather knew, not even Sylna. And how did Dumbledore find out?

Ancient pure-blood families usually have powerful wands from ancient times, and the Selwyns are no exception. After a black-glove duel, Solim is smuggled into the wand storage room by Elrond. It was from there that he got the wand, known as the "Bone Spur", which according to family records was made from the middle finger of an extinct creature, the Night Demon, which was their longest finger and most magical. The wand and the ring are one, the wand is the phalanx of the Daredevil, and the ring is made up of the Dared's nails, the skin of the middle finger, and other materials, which are closely linked together through alchemy. When the owner of the ring wants to use it, the wand will appear in the hand of the owner wearing the ring.

"Don't be surprised," Dumbledore explained, recognizing Solim's surprise, "I found the ring in the first place, but I returned it to the Selwyns. "

Dumbledore was holding a wand in his right hand, tapping the palm of his left hand again and again, "We only knew it was a wand, but I've never seen it in real form, Solim, can you satisfy the curiosity of this bad old man of mine?"

Now that everyone recognizes it, and if it weren't for Dumbledore, he might not have been able to get it. Thinking of this, Solim didn't ink, and as soon as he shook his right hand, bone spurs appeared directly in his hand.

The Daredevil's middle finger is unusually long, with five phalanges, which means that the Daredevil's middle finger has four knuckles, which look very similar to the protrusions on the Elder Wand. The entire body of the staff is white, and the tip of the staff is the tip of the night demon's fingers, which looks extremely sharp.

"Fourteen and three-quarters of an inch, a little shorter than your Elder Wand. Solim's left hand touched the tip of the wand slightly, "It's made of bone, it's stronger than the old wand, and it's not easy to break." It can also be used as a dagger when necessary. Solim didn't let go of his hand, and handed his wand to Dumbledore.

"I can't let go, or it'll go away. Solim explained.

This is also a great feature of this "bone spur": this wand does not leave its owner. If you are hit by the Disarming Charm, it will simply disappear, and as soon as you hold your hand, it will appear in your hand again to continue fighting.

"What a work of art," Dumbledore couldn't help but admire, looking at the wand in Solim's hand, "I think Garrick would be thrilled to see this." "

"Professor, I think you may have misunderstood. Solim explained, "Of course, it would be a lie to say that I wasn't interested in the Elder Wand, but I'm more interested in the Deathly Hallows and the ...... of their owners Down. "

Solim looked at Dumbledore, he hoped that Dumbledore could say something he didn't know, Solim knew that Dumbledore and Grindelwald had investigated the Deathly Hallows, maybe they had communicated with other saints, and if it came to knowing about the Deathly Hallows, Dumbledore must know more than Solim.

Listening to Solim's words, Dumbledore pondered for a long time.

"Solim, can I think you've found something? something...... Something unusual and unreasonable, but you have no clue after your own investigation, there is no evidence to prove your conjecture, but you yourself think your conjecture is correct and are eager to prove it?"

Without waiting for Solim to speak, Dumbledore continued, "Let me give you a piece of advice, Mr. Selwyn. "

Hearing Dumbledore call himself that, Solim knew that what Dumbledore was going to talk about next was going to be a very serious topic.

"You can use the Resurrection Stone, it's not a big problem. But don't delve into any of the secrets of the Deathly Hallows. It was just a decoy, a hoax. "

"Then you've got to make it clear. Now my curiosity is even heavier. Is there any connection between the Deathly Hallows, and what happens when they're all in the hands of a wizard?"

"Legend has it that when a sorcerer has all three Deathly Hallows, he conquers death. Dumbledore chuckled silently, as if mocking, and I don't know if he was mocking Solim or his past self.

"This can't be wrong, if you merge with death, you can naturally be regarded as 'conquering' death. "

"You mean that when a wizard has all the Deathly Hallows, he will die?" Solim asked, "it doesn't make sense, it makes sense that a person dies, whether he owns the Deathly Hallows or not. "

"In the basement of the Ministry of Magic, in the Department of Mysteries, there is a hall, they call it the Hall of Death, where the original executions were carried out, but do you know how they were executed?" Dumbledore asked Solim a question.

"You mean the stone gate that disappears when you walk in?"

Solim knew what Dumbledore was talking about, but he had never paid attention to it. The only thing Solim knew about the stone door was that Sirius had passed through it, and then he had vanished. Nothing else is known.

Glancing at Solim, Dumbledore said, "That's right, it seems that you know a lot of things, and that stone platform in the Hall of Death is unknown to many employees who work in the Ministry of Magic. "

Solim did not explain.

"If you've seen it with your own eyes, you'll know that the stone platform doesn't fit in with its surroundings, it's like moving from somewhere, the curtain on the stone door is always fluttering, and you hear someone behind the door, but you can't hear it clearly. And you'll have an urge — a strong urge to want to go through that door and find out. But we all know that no one can come back from that door. "

"But what does this have to do with the Deathly Hallows?"

"Gellert and I have been in contact with many saints, and many of them have speculated that if you collect the Deathly Hallows, you will be able to pass through the door of death. Dumbledore said, "But no one can prove it right. "

Of course, no one can prove that even if you collect all the Deathly Hallows, even if you invade the Ministry of Magic, even if you invade the Department of Mysteries, even if you stand in front of the stone platform, do you dare to pass through that door? None of the wizards who passed through that door came back. Who can guarantee that you will be able to return with the Deathly Hallows?

"And there's a strange thing about that door," Dumbledore added, "anything, if you enter that door, it disappears—anything." We've been in the Hall of Death, we've tried. That's something we don't understand, so, Solim, forget about the legends, it won't help you in your life. "

"Well, let's not talk about the Deathly Hallows. Solim was a little disappointed, and Solim asked Dumbledore, "In that case, then, about the Horcrux, did you get rid of it, Professor? I promised Professor Snape to use it this holiday." "

"I'm sorry, Solim," Dumbledore shook his head, "I can't break it, and I'm guessing that if I break the ring, it will most likely lose all of its functionality." "

After thinking for a moment, Solim asked, "So, Professor, do you have time after the holidays?" I think I might be able to destroy this Horcrux without breaking the ring. "

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow, revealing an interested expression.

"Part of Voldemort's soul is in that ring, so is it possible to sacrifice this part of the soul during the resurrection stone during the conjuring ritual?"

"I never knew that the Resurrection Stone had that function, what I did know was that it did not really resurrect the dead, but only summoned a substance that was more real than the soul and more illusory than the entity. "

"Professor, one thing you have to admit is that the ancient family has always done a good job in terms of knowledge reserves. Solim explained, "What you're talking about is the side of the Resurrection Stone as a 'weapon' that will plunge the user into irreversible grief that will eventually ...... Suicide. But if used correctly, you can summon the soul of a person who has died. But only if that soul is still wandering in the world and has not gone to the 'place of death'. I'm sorry, Professor, but I can't find any mention of the 'Dead Land'. To truly use it, it is necessary to sacrifice souls, and the more souls and the stronger, the longer it will take to summon, and these are documented. When the Gaunt family was not completely ruined, if a wizard wished to see the dead, he would come to an agreement with the Gaunt family: complete secrecy between the two parties, and a large fortune for the Gaunt family. "

"I know this because the Selwyns have documented this kind of deal with the Gaunts. However, this way of summoning the souls of the dead is through soul sacrifice, so I think it would be nice if you could come during the holidays. "

Solim began to break down. If Snape really summoned Lily Evans out, would Dumbledore want to meet his sister?
