Chapter 70

Until the vitality provided by Solim's blood was exhausted, Riddle still didn't confide anything. But none of this mattered to Solim. He had known what he had known, and that this time it was just a matter of doing it, and that he wanted to see what Dumbledore wanted to do with the journal.

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something.

"Solim, you got this journal from Malfoy Manor, did Lucius tell you anything at the time?" Dumbledore asked.

He said that the diary had been given to him by Voldemort when he came to the manor alone. Obviously, with that man's nature, if he only made one Horcrux, then he would only hide it where he knew it, but since he could give one to the Malfoy family, then he must have made several. Solim then added, "Seriously, I don't believe Voldemort couldn't see that Malfoy wasn't loyal to him, and that the Death Eaters who were loyal to him were now in Azkaban." "

"You mean that since Malfoy can have one, the Death Eaters who are more loyal to Voldemort may also have his Horcruxes?" Dumbledore could hear what Solim was trying to say, "It's quite possible......"

"So...... Headmaster, what are you going to do with this journal?" Solim asked, "This journal was made when he was still a minor, and it would have been much easier to break." "

Dumbledore obviously had his own ideas about the diary, he directly put the journal away, and said to Solim: "I'll deal with the diary matter, I have a little other idea about it, maybe something interesting will happen in school next semester." Dumbledore glanced at Solim meaningfully.

Solim was stunned for a moment when he heard Dumbledore's words, and his original plan was to let the diary into Hogwarts, and then let him open the Chamber of Secrets, wake up the basilisk, and follow him to detect leaks. However, due to the discovery of Sirna's Parseltongue talent, Solim changed his plans, and since Sylna can speak snakes, the role of the diary is gone. Then the safer way is to take your sister by yourself, or let her sister teach her a few words of snake language, and go down and get the basilisk by yourself, so that nothing will happen to Ben in school this year.

But Dumbledore's words seemed to mean that he was going to do something with the journal. Carefully went through it in his mind, Dumbledore was only a professor in the Transfiguration class during the Myrtle incident, but he must have doubted Riddle, and this diary is Riddle's memory when he was 16 years old. And there is no such thing as "the dead keep secrets" in the wizarding world, it is true that Myrtle is dead, but her ghost is still at Hogwarts, and Solim has reason to believe that Dumbledore already knows the ins and outs of what happened back then, so what he wants to do with this diary is almost ready to be revealed.

"Headmaster......" Solim's expression was the same as constipation, in his opinion, everything on the basilisk should be his, "You will be next semester, won't you...... I want to open ...... Chamber of Secrets?" Solim asked cautiously, paying close attention to Dumbledore's face. But obviously, if he doesn't want to, you won't see anything in Dumbledore's face.

"I never thought of you like an eleven-year-old, Solim. Dumbledore said, "But I have to say, sometimes you know more than even the professors at Hogwarts. "

Solim understood that Dumbledore wanted to hear his explanation, "When Voldemort went to school, someone died in the school, and poor Miss Warren still cries a lot in that washroom. It's not something that goes unnoticed, Professor. Solim put down Erlang's leg and continued: "As for the rumors that there are secret rooms in Hogwarts, hehe, there are more secret rooms in Hogwarts, but when people in the know discuss secret rooms, they generally talk about the secret room left by Slytherin. The one 70 years ago was not the only time it was opened, it was opened once in the 13th century, and in the 15th century, it was also opened. Only someone like Voldemort, who had no knowledge of the past, would believe that the Chamber of Secrets was used to clear the school of Muggles. "

Listening to Solim's words, Dumbledore asked with interest, "It seems that you know a lot about that secret room? I, the headmaster, only know that such a secret room exists, and you even know that it has been opened twice?"

"Both times Hogwarts was attacked, and in 993 Hogwarts was founded, and within a few years, Slytherin left, and the Chamber of Secrets he left behind was used to defend the school," Solim explained. Salazar Slytherin placed a creature in the chamber that would be released in the event that the school was under heavy attack and most of its defenses were destroyed, passing through the tunnels buried in Hogwarts Castle to kill enemies in the shadows and defend the school. It wasn't for the removal of Muggles from the school, and with Slytherin's pride, he might not trust Muggles, or despise them, but as long as he came to Hogwarts and became a Hogwarts student, he would treat them equally, and during the years he was still in school, there was not a single attack on a Muggle student. The rumors about the secret room are all nonsense of posterity. "

Dumbledore listened to Solim's words and rubbed his eyebrows, "So, do you know what kind of creature is in that chamber?"

"I'll start with that, Headmaster. Solim hurriedly vaccinated Dumbledore: "The contents are mine." It doesn't matter if it's alive or dead. Seeing that I have helped you so much, it should be regarded as a thank you to me. "

Dumbledore saw Solim's anxious look and smiled, "Looks like you're nervous about that creature?"

"What kind of creature is there, you know it yourself, headmaster, after Myrtle became a ghost, I don't believe you didn't ask her what caused her death. "Dumbledore likes to be like this: pretending to be confused.

Suddenly, Dumbledore's expression changed, and he said to Solim: "Okay, let's do it first, I'll arrange the things for next semester, Harry is really going to grow up as soon as possible, while there is still time." With that, Dumbledore stood up, "Severus is over, let's go check it out." "

Solim wasn't in the slightest surprise that Dumbledore was able to sense what was going on. After all, he is a great wizard, and his perception of magic is far greater than that of ordinary people.

Solim and Dumbledore made their way to the basement.

"Headmaster, is there a way to destroy the Horcruxes while retaining the function of the Resurrection Stone?"

"I don't think so," Dumbledore said regretfully, "The instant death curse has a deep connection with this Horcrux, if the curse is intact, it may be possible to destroy the Horcrux by triggering the curse at the same time, but when that curse is lifted by Elrond, the soul in that Horcrux no longer has any connection with the outside world." This Horcrux can only be destroyed by external destruction, and this Horcrux can be destroyed. Very clever design...... There's no way I'm going to destroy the Horcrux in this situation and still retain the resurrection stone. It was also because the curse was broken, and the souls inside could not affect the outside world, that Severus was able to use the resurrection stone normally. "

After listening to Dumbledore's explanation, Solim was a little dumbfounded. The Resurrection Stone was originally under Dumbledore's self-sacrifice, not only destroyed the Horcrux, but also retained the function of the Resurrection Stone, but because Elrond lifted the curse above in advance, the soul in the Horcrux and the only passage between the outside world was gone, which caused the soul of Voldemort inside to be unable to affect the outside world, but the outside world could no longer destroy it except by violent means. This means that one day in the future, the Resurrection Stone will be destroyed and one of the Deathly Hallows will disappear from this world forever.
