Chapter 96 94 Four Relics

Chapter 96 94. Four relics

Horcrux.

The most evil black magic that Voldemort relied on to remain immortal in the original book.

It can split the soul of the caster through killing and store it in another dead or living object. The object that stores the soul fragments is called a Horcrux.

As long as the Horcruxes are not all destroyed, the person who created the Horcruxes can be immortal and can be resurrected again even if hit by the Killing Curse.

In history, anyone who created a Horcrux was extremely evil, but Voldemort made a full seven under his subjective consciousness, and with his pride, each of these seven Horcruxes is an extremely special item.

Now placed in front of Jon are the four relics left by the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The sword of Gryffindor, the locket of Slytherin, the diadem of Ravenclaw and the gold cup of Hufflepuff!

Among these four relics, except for the sword of Gryffindor that has been hidden in the Sorting Hat, the other three are Voldemort's Horcruxes.

Staring at the four relics on the desk, Jon's breathing began to become rapid.

This world has changed, but the node where the world line deviated was the night when Voldemort heard the prophecy and was going to kill Harry Potter, but three of the four relics in front of him, the Horcruxes, were all made before this time node appeared.

In other words, they are very likely to be Voldemort's Horcruxes now! It is his lifeline to maintain his immortality!

Horcruxes are generally difficult to destroy, and coincidentally, the fangs of the basilisk that Jon just killed are one of the fastest weapons to destroy Horcruxes.

He can even hold the Gryffindor sword, as long as a little bit of basilisk venom is infecting the sword, it can also become a weapon to destroy Horcruxes.

This is a great opportunity, as if it is a gift from God to reward his bravery and wisdom.

Jon didn't know when he had walked to the desk, staring at the four relics. He took a deep breath, as if he was ready to pick up the four relics.

However, the next second he walked around the desk without hesitation.

Jon didn't know whether God would reward the brave, but the reward in front of him was definitely not given by God.

This is the Hogwarts Castle under Voldemort's control. He is in Voldemort's office. He just defeated the basilisk that Voldemort ordered to guard here. These in front of him are also the relics that Voldemort himself put here.

Put your most precious and life-threatening things in a place that can attract the enemy's attention the most, and prepare all the weapons to destroy these things.

The killed basilisk and the Horcruxes on the table are not gifts from God, but are very likely to be Voldemort's traps!

It has been more than a year since he was brought into the magic world. After Jon's understanding, he knows that Voldemort is definitely not a fool.

On the contrary, the various policies of the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts under his rule are enough to show that he is smarter than most people.

Would a smart person do such a thing?

Jon gave up these suspected Horcruxes decisively. This world is no longer the magical world he originally knew. He can rely on some information he saw in the original book in his previous life to help, but he cannot rely on the original book completely.

Moreover, the fundamental goal of his coming to this castle this time has never been these Horcruxes.

He bypassed the desk and quickly found a spiral staircase in the office according to the location provided by Dumbledore before.

The successful killing of the basilisk did not make Jon feel relaxed at all. He knew very well that the death of the basilisk was just the beginning. What Dumbledore wanted him to get would definitely have more than just this little protection.

Holding the wand, Jon carefully stepped onto the spiral staircase and went all the way up.

In the magnificent banquet hall, well-dressed male and female wizards were enjoying this Christmas dance that only the top wizards could attend.

If someone randomly throws a stone from the second floor, there is a high probability that it will hit a senior official in the Ministry of Magic or a director of a well-known company in the magic world.

But the person who is hit will only show a friendly smile to the naughty child or the provocative young man on the second floor who throws the stone, because those who can go to the second floor are the real confidants of that gentleman.

Dolohov is one of such confidants.

At this time, he was standing beside Voldemort with high spirits. The handsome man who always kept a young face was chatting with a fat old man with two walrus-like beards with a smile on his face.

"Teacher is a teacher after all. Since you came to the Department of International Magical Cooperation, the Ministry of Magic's foreign export trade has been much smoother in the past six months. The last time the French Minister of Magic came to see me, he praised me as a real gentleman."

Slughorn still had that smiling face. Nearly half a year had passed, and he seemed to have not changed at all from when he first came to Voldemort.

"It's actually very simple to deal with these people. Invite those in charge of the French Ministry of Magic to host a banquet, open a bottle of fine red wine, and talk about the past glory of the wizarding family. Some business and policies can be negotiated in this way."

"So these rubbish under my command will never learn your methods." Voldemort turned his head and glanced at a wizard who was standing behind him with his head bowed. "He is obviously born of a noble family, but he usually acts like a street gangster."

The burly former director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation just touched his head and smiled awkwardly. It seemed that what Voldemort said just now was actually a compliment.

Since Slughorn returned to the right camp, this old man with a distinguished family background and a transcendent status has become the core of the core. Except for Voldemort, other wizards of any status would bow their heads and call him "Mr. Slughorn".

After the Christmas dinner began, Voldemort had been chatting and laughing with his former teacher. They talked about the teacher-student relationship in Hogwarts. Slughorn seemed to be in high spirits and missed the castle that he had not returned to for a long time.

Voldemort also saw his mood and introduced him to the faculty and staff who were currently working in the castle.

Snape, Barty Jr. and the others were old acquaintances, so there was no need to introduce them. The people Voldemort called were all students who were not so outstanding before.

"Scott is an excellent school doctor. There are many talented people in the Lestrange family, and he once worked as a doctor at St. Mungo's. He has done a good job as a school doctor in the castle over the years."
