"Albus, how could you show Ryan such a dangerous black art book? You have to know that he is not even an adult." Professor McGonagall's angry voice came from the principal's office. After confirming the unbreakable oath, Dumbledore chose Professor McGonagall as a witness, but Professor McGonagall expressed his dissatisfaction immediately after knowing the content of the oath.

"Minerva, this involves many innocent lives." Dumbledore looked at Professor McGonagall and explained seriously, "I also know that this knowledge is very dangerous, but it is already the safest way to do so."

"The safest way? Albus, I don't know when we need to push such a young child to the front?" Professor McGonagall asked angrily after listening to Professor Dumbledore's explanation.

"I don't want to do it, but I think Ryan is no longer an ordinary kid. He has enough will and strength to solve this problem. At the same time, only he can solve the problems we face now."

"Yes, Mr. Principal is right." Ryan also nodded beside him. "All of this is voluntary, please help me!"

After repeated persuasion by Ryan and Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall was finally willing to be the witness. After she nodded, Professor Dumbledore stood up from the chair, then went around the table and held Ryan's right hand with his right hand. Professor McGonagall took out his wand and tapped the end of it on their clasped hands.

"Ryan, are you willing to never use the black magic of Horcruxes?" Dumbledore asked.

"I would," Ryan said. As soon as he finished speaking, a thin, dazzling tongue of flame shot out from Professor McGonagall's wand, like a red hot wire, wrapped around their clasped hands.

"Are you willing to do your best to keep these secrets and prevent this evil knowledge from spreading out of you?"

"I would," Ryan said. A second tongue of flame burst from the wand, intertwining with the first in a thin, glowing red chain. Like a rope, like a flaming snake.

"Then, the oath is established." Professor McGonagall announced that the chain of flames wrapped around the hands of Ryan and Principal Dumbledore disappeared instantly, which meant that the oath was established.

"Okay, you can read this book now." When Professor McGonagall left the headmaster's office, Dumbledore took out a black book with copper covering the corners and spine of the book from the locked drawer Handed it to Ryan, and then said: "But for safety reasons, you can only read this book in my office and cannot take it out."

"Understood, I should be able to finish this book soon." Ryan said as he took the book with both hands, only to find that the book was only a thin one, and it definitely didn't feel like parchment paper.

"This is—a human skin book?" After touching the cover of the book, Ryan recognized the material of the book. Because he had seen more than one piece of human skin when the Fallout world was cleaning up those mutant marauders.

"Yes." Dumbledore nodded. "This is the human skin that the author dug out more than a dozen graves, because in the past, people believed that the books related to the soul were best recorded on human skin. This book was put on the skin decades ago. In the Hogwarts ward, but I put the book away after Voldemort made the Horcruxes."

"It doesn't sound too bad." Ryan shrugged, this is much better than the mutants in the radiation world skinned alive, and Dumbledore put away the book and made Ryan understand. It's like the detailed process flow charts for certain weapons or certain bad medicines that don't appear in the general university library for safety reasons.

So Ryan felt that there was no need to be the same as the persecuted delusional patients. He always felt that as long as the principal put away certain books, he would suppress the younger generation. Those who really want to suppress the students are those pure-blood families who read their own books so hard that they would rather rot at home than take them out.

After thinking about these chores, Ryan began to observe the book carefully. It was only at this time that he discovered that there were gilded letters on the cover of the original book, but all of them had been eroded away by time.

""The Road to Eternal Life"" Ryan spelled out the title of the Latin book with the lights in the principal's office. Although the title was bragging, he had to admit that the Horcrux was indeed a genius idea. It's just that the flaw of this kind of eternal life is really too big.

After opening the book, Ryan found that it was a manuscript. Scribes used magic ink mixed with dragon's blood and mandrake juice to ensure that the book would last for a long time. In addition to the main content and some illustrations, the experience of each reader recorded in the blank space between the lines allows Ryan to see the development history of Horcrux production.

Horcruxes originated from mummies in ancient Egypt. Ancient Egyptian wizards used magic to cut off parts of their bodies and cultivate them into another body. In this way, when their bodies were irreparably damaged, their souls could be restored. Will abandon the damaged body and use this prepared spare body to resurrect. This kind of magic was later known to Muggles, but they didn't know the specifics. So there is a habit of making mummies in the local area, and it is said that mummies can be resurrected.

Later, with the spread of this magic, some wizards who hoped to obtain immortality improved this magic. The improved magic does not need to cultivate the spare body in advance, so that this thing can be hidden in a small magic box, and the concealment is greatly increased. At the same time, the biggest difference from before is that part of the body is cut out at the same time as part of the soul is cut out through complex magic means.

In this way, the part of the body protected by the special magic container and the effect of the passage of time on the soul will be suppressed to the minimum, and the connection between the soul fragment and the soul body will feed back this situation to the main body. Let the subject obtain a long life. At the same time, as long as the container is not found, the wizard cannot be killed. It's just that their minds will be irreversibly damaged every time they are resurrected, so the number of resurrections is also limited.

And after the time came to modern times, this magic was improved again. The complicated soul cutting magic is replaced by killing, and at the same time it is no longer necessary to cut off a part of the body, only the soul needs to be cut. This is how the real method of making Horcruxes came about.

Although this greatly lowered the threshold for Horcrux production and simplified the production process, it also caused serious consequences. On the one hand, it completely transforms the original neutral magic into an evil black magic, so that the user's body will receive additional damage when facing magic like thunder or holy light.

On the other hand, after the original body is destroyed, it cannot be directly resurrected like the previous two methods, but needs to be recreated by other means.

But even such a simplified version of Horcrux production method is actually far beyond the knowledge of a normal wizard. Ryan understood these things with the knowledge he had collected in multiple worlds. As an orphan, Voldemort was a real genius to be able to understand these things just by living in Hogwarts for six years and being exposed to the magical world. .

Not to mention anything else, just learning Latin to an advanced level in this little time is very powerful. Ryan felt that he would never be able to do this if he hadn't brought cheats.

It took Ryan five full hours to put down the "Road to Eternal Life" in his hand. Thanks to the upgrade of his power before, his memory and comprehension ability had crossed a big step, which made him finish reading this book in a short time. book.

"I think I have a little idea." Looking at Principal Dumbledore, who was looking at him with concern, Ryan nodded and said. "But I need time."

"This is already very good." Principal Dumbledore put away the book, "Don't be impatient, we have enough time to wait. If the price of saving an innocent life is another innocent life, then such a saving It just makes no sense."
