#317 - Chapter 317 Shocking Old Deng for a Hundred Years

Horcrux!

Upon hearing this word, Dumbledore's heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, and his entire expression instantly became solemn.

His originally gentle gaze turned sharp, and besides that, his blue eyes also flickered with suppressed worry and shock.

At this moment, various past guesses and clues raced through his mind, causing him to ponder inwardly.

Indeed, his guess was correct. Voldemort was able to escape death because of the evil thing called a Horcrux.

He had always vaguely sensed it, but never had enough evidence to be certain.

So the question is, how did Sebastian know?

Could it be that he had already discovered Voldemort's Horcruxes?

"Sebastian," Dumbledore stared directly into the other's eyes, "When did you discover this secret, and what evidence do you have?"

"Oh, this story starts from my third year working at Hogwarts."

Sebastian swallowed the food in his mouth and began to earnestly show off his acting skills.

"Headmaster, do you still remember the Chamber of Secrets incident?"

The Chamber of Secrets?

Dumbledore's heart stirred as he recalled Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, the Basilisk, and Filch's petrified cat.

Back then, this matter caused a great uproar, and the entire wizarding world knew about it.

Hogwarts even held a Basilisk exhibition, inviting various media reporters to Hogwarts to report on it.

Could it be that the shadow of Voldemort's Horcrux was behind the Chamber of Secrets incident?

A look of realization appeared on Dumbledore's face.

No wonder the Chamber of Secrets, which had been silent for decades, was suddenly opened.

So it was the Horcrux that was causing trouble!

Dumbledore instantly made many associations, and he also recalled the scene when Myrtle was killed and Hagrid was wrongly accused and expelled when he was a Transfiguration professor.

Now it seems that it was indeed Voldemort who caused the trouble.

It's just that, back then, he was an excellent student in everyone's eyes, and no one suspected him at all.

Speaking of which, even if the Horcrux wanted to cause trouble, it couldn't act alone. It must have bewitched someone to open the Chamber of Secrets.

"Headmaster," Sebastian said proactively before Dumbledore could ask, "The Horcrux of the Dark Lord is indeed behind the Chamber of Secrets."

"It was an old diary, which was taken and used by an unknowing student, and as a result, the whole person was bewitched and controlled."

"This student doesn't remember what happened, so he usually looks no different from ordinary students."

"It was also by chance that I discovered a strong dark magic aura on him, and then secretly investigated and found that strange diary."

"After getting that diary, I realized that it was the Dark Lord's Horcrux. At that time, it even tried to bewitch me."

Good lad!

Your mouth is really tight. You didn't leak any information about such a big thing.

You didn't even think about discussing it with me...

"Where is that diary?" Dumbledore couldn't help but ask.

He didn't care so much about the other details. Now the most important thing was to find out the whereabouts of that diary.

"As for the diary," Sebastian casually said nonsense, "It was burned by me with Fiendfyre a long time ago."

Burned it!

This is really good news.

Dumbledore completely relaxed, picked up the butterbeer on the table, and took a good sip.

Comfortable...

In this case, letting Peter Pettigrew resurrect Voldemort is a good thing.

Without the Horcruxes, Voldemort can be completely destroyed.

Seeing Dumbledore's happy appearance, Sebastian smiled mischievously, preparing to add some obstacles for the other party.

"Headmaster, there is a problem that I think you must know."

"The Dark Lord has more than one Horcrux. That diary is already the fourth Horcrux I have dealt with."

Pfft—

Dumbledore spat out a mouthful of butterbeer, then suddenly stood up and stared at Sebastian.

"What, this is the fourth Horcrux?!"

For a moment, Sebastian felt a huge pressure coming towards him, and even the air in the room became much thicker.

Whoa—

Old Deng is a little out of control. It looks like the last time he watched a movie, Old Deng shook Harry's shoulders and asked him if he had put his name into the Goblet of Fire.

To be honest, this was the first time Sebastian had seen Dumbledore lose his composure. Usually, the other party looked calm and indifferent, as if nothing mattered even if the sky fell.

"Headmaster, don't get excited. Aren't we discussing this with you?"

Realizing that he was a little out of control, Dumbledore sighed and sat back in his chair sullenly.

How can I not be excited!

I originally thought that the task of killing Voldemort had entered the simple mode, but you suddenly told me that the main line had just begun, and it was still the hell mode.

Who can handle this!

That's four Horcruxes, not four glasses of butterbeer.

Each Horcrux represents a part of Voldemort's soul. This dark and evil magic was something he had been trying to confirm, but also desperately hoped that there would be no evidence to verify.

Now there are four of them all of a sudden.

The important thing is, who knows if Voldemort has made more Horcruxes?

No!

Since the fourth Horcrux has appeared, based on his understanding of Voldemort, the other party will definitely not be satisfied with four Horcruxes.

So the question is, with Voldemort's crazy personality, no one can imagine how many Horcruxes the other party will make.

Five? Six? Seven or eight?

Dumbledore felt a headache.

The worst situation has appeared.

The world is so big, where can I find the remaining Horcruxes...

Before completely destroying all the Horcruxes, killing Voldemort is simply a distant prospect.

Dumbledore's lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes became deeper, full of worry and contemplation.

"Sebastian, can you tell me what the other three Horcruxes are, and where were they discovered?"

Dumbledore calmed down. He understood that the most important thing now was to infer the clues of the remaining Horcruxes based on the known information.

"The first one is Slytherin's locket, which was found in a seaside cave. As far as I know, the young Dark Lord once went to that cave."

"The second one is Ravenclaw's diadem, which was found in the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts Castle."

"The third one is Marvolo Gaunt's ring, which was found in the Gaunt family's ancestral home."

"Finally, there is the diary. According to my speculation, this is a diary he used when he was in school."

"Don't worry, these Horcruxes have been dealt with by me."

Sebastian had other plans for these Horcruxes.

To avoid nagging, he was not prepared to tell Dumbledore the real whereabouts of these Horcruxes.

This wave is called a benevolent lie.
