Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy

Chapter 290 The Resurrection Stone—The Tragedy’s Substitute

As if to cover up his gaffe, Wright said covertly: "Teacher, I never thought that someone at your age would be interested in something like the Deathly Hallows. I always thought it was just a fairy tale. ”

Dumbledore glanced at Wright with a half-smile, not bothering to expose his student's little thoughts, "That's not a fairy tale, Wright, the Deathly Hallows have always existed in the wizarding world."

"The Elder Wand of Death, the Resurrection Stone of Death, and the Invisibility Cloak of Death." Dumbledore named the three Deathly Hallows one by one. "According to legend, the person who possesses all the Deathly Hallows is the master of Death. "

"So, teacher, the gem on the ring on your hand is the Resurrection Stone?" Wright asked pretendingly.

"Yes, the Resurrection Stone, a legendary magical treasure that has the ability to bring the dead back to life." Dumbledore gently rubbed the tail ring on his little finger.

Wright looked at Dumbledore's inexplicably serious expression and couldn't help but become quiet.

Although at this time he wanted to ask Dumbledore how he got Gaunt's ring from Tom Riddle's hometown, and how he escaped the curse placed on the ring by Voldemort, and even more Ask him how he got rid of this Horcrux.

"Wright, do you know what the real use of the Resurrection Stone is?" Although it was a question, Dumbledore did not give Wright a chance to answer. He continued to answer alone, "The Resurrection Stone, the legendary God of Death. A gift given to the second among three brothers. When the holder turns it three times, the dead can be resurrected."

Villita, who had been sitting quietly on the side, suddenly lit up.

"But in fact, the Resurrection Stone cannot truly resurrect the dead. It will only attract an illusory substance that is more real and more substantial than the soul." Dumbledore said with a heavy face, "Furthermore, the resurrected one' People won't be happy either, and the existence of the Resurrection Stone is undoubtedly torturing both parties."

"The Deathly Hallows! It wasn't until this time that I truly understood the meaning of their names." Dumbledore sighed, "The most powerful power of death is not that it can make people die, but that it makes people die. Those who remain don’t want to live anymore.”

Wright and Villita silently savored Dumbledore's words together.

"Only Ignotus Peverell was the smartest one. He knew that he could not resist the attack of death, so he asked the God of Death for an invisibility cloak that could hide him from the God of Death. He waited until the day when he lived long enough to Take off the invisibility cloak and face death equally," Dumbledore said.

"So, teacher, what you are saying is that the Elder Wand, Resurrection Stone and Invisibility Cloak were really created by the legendary God of Death?" Wright asked.

"How is that possible?!" Dumbledore shook his head with a smile and said, "In my opinion, these three Deathly Hallows were created by Antioch, Cadmus and Ig of the Peverell family. Created by the three Notus brothers, people are keen on the legend of the three brothers in "The Tales of Beedle the Bard". I think it is just a myth about their experiences. "

"Does the Peverell family possess such powerful magic item manufacturing technology?" Wright looked at Dumbledore in surprise, "Then why have I never met any alchemist named Peverell?" Where is the magician?"

"The Peverell family has long since disappeared in the long river of history." Dumbledore explained, "The family's three sons, the eldest son Antioch, was assassinated in his sleep because of his bravery; the second His son Cadmus was obsessed with summoning spirits and could not extricate himself from the illusory soul-like body, and finally committed suicide in despair; although the third son Ignotus lived to the end, the Peverell family did not stay in the end. Male heirs, various witches with the surname Peverell, married into various parts of the wizarding world."

"So, in the wizarding world now, there are many wizarding families hiding the blood of the Peverell family?"

"It can be said that," Dumbledore nodded, and unintentionally revealed another ancient secret history, "Back then, Iolanth Peverell, as the eldest daughter of the Peverell family at that time, because of There was no male heir in the family, so she inherited the cloak from her father."

"Maybe you can't quite understand it. The man Iolanth Peverell married back then was from the Potter family, named Hadwin Potter." Dumbledore said, "So from now on After that, the Invisibility Cloak began to be passed down from generation to generation from the eldest son of the Potter family, until it was passed down to Harry."

In other words, Dumbledore can actually collect three Deathly Hallows now? Wright suddenly thought of another possibility.

Then, what's Lao Deng's is his, and what's his is still his. Therefore, this is almost equivalent to having collected three pieces of the Deathly Hallows, and can he successfully summon the dragon? Bah bah! Become the master of death?

Shaking his head, Wright threw away this crooked idea and continued to ask Dumbledore: "Teacher, where did you get this Resurrection Stone?"

Without shying away from Vilita who was sitting aside, Dumbledore said bluntly: "There has been very little news about the Resurrection Stone, but there are legends that it has been held by the descendants of Salazar Slytherin. But you know , in this era, there are no wizards named Slytherin anymore. The only one who may be related to Slytherin is the Gaunt family, but the Gaunt family was almost exterminated decades ago. "

He added, "This ring, rather than being called the Resurrection Ring, is better called Gaunt's Ring."

"So, teacher, you went to the Gaunt family's house to get this ring?" Wright asked.

"Absolutely. In fact, I brought someone with me before." Dumbledore looked a little complicated, as if he was in a dilemma but also had a little bit of relief and relief.

"Who?" Wright smiled, "It can't be Jerry, right?"

Dumbledore nodded slowly.

"Is it really Jerry??" Wright's eyes widened in surprise, "You killed Jerry so quickly??!!"

"Huh?" Dumbledore glared at Wright with some displeasure, "In your eyes, what image do I have of a bad old man? What do you mean by 'I killed Jerry so quickly'?"

"Then how did Jerry die?"

Dumbledore frowned and thought for a while, and finally decided to tell Wright everything about the Horcruxes. After all, this kid now has the strength to venture into the outside world, and there is no harm in knowing more. , "The diary you gave me before was actually an extremely cruel magical item created by Lord Voldemort when he was a student, named a Horcrux."

"And this Gaunt's ring is also a Horcrux." Dumbledore raised his slender fingers. "Voldemort cast a strong curse on this item in Gaunt's old house. Anyone who wants to touch it Its wizards will be attacked by very powerful spells."

"I took Jerry to the old Gaunt house that day. He seemed to know that this priceless legendary treasure was hidden there and found it directly. It seemed that he thought that the Resurrection Stone could help him completely. He will return to his normal human form instead of his current semi-spiritual body, which is between reality and reality. Then, he will..."

"Was it backfired by the magic on the Resurrection Stone?"

Dumbledore nodded sadly, "Voldemort's curse did too much damage to the soul. I didn't stop him at all, and Jerry was completely dead."

Wright understood.

A darker guess is that Dumbledore has been raising Jerry Green for the past year and protecting his safety just so that he could die in his stead at that moment.

Jerry Green, like a pig waiting to be slaughtered, fell headlong under the butcher knife sharpened by his past (or future?) self for his present self.

Wright felt a little sorry.

He originally wanted to see Jerry leading Basilisk to fight against Voldemort and Nagini!
