Chapter 252 Hot Night Dream (Part )
"It's so annoying!"
Repeated miscalculations gave Morty a sudden urge to scratch his head.
"I'm not angry, I'm not angry, I'm not..."
He muttered, but he still raised his leg and kicked the clothes hanger in disbelief.
With a "crash", the clothes hanging full of Narlak props and costumes were kicked to pieces, and all kinds of clothes fell to the ground.
At this moment, two stilts made of thick springs suddenly rolled out of the pile of clothes and did not stop until they touched Morty's boots.
Morty said "hmm" and his eyes suddenly lit up. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the two stilts floated into the air and he grabbed them in his hands.
A more straightforward explanation is that because they are used to murder, they are not emotionally touched when committing murder activities, so the torn soul fragments are simply not enough - the marginal utility is diminishing.
It is true that he was the inventor of the Horcrux manufacturing method, but due to historical limitations, the dark wizards at that time in Haierbo were still in a dreamy stage of research on magic theory, and did not go very in-depth.
On the contrary, it was more than two thousand years later that Tom Riddle, who learned his method, actually produced the first real Horcrux for the first time.
A cluster of faint blue flames suddenly appeared on the tip of his finger, and then, like holding a drop of water, he carefully moved the tip of his finger towards the obvious crack on the cover of the black leather diary.
When Tom Riddle made the first Horcrux, he was actually still a teenager. After all, he was not mature enough to commit murder, and his mood swings were relatively high, so in the end, he happened to succeed.
Suddenly, Morty shook his head and denied in three words: "No, it's impossible, this is definitely not a coincidence!"
"Ha! I knew everything would be like what I've done several times before."
However, after digesting that information and making some guesses, Morty's expression became a little unpredictable.
"Everything is under my control!
Even if Project Alpha fails, there is still Project Beta, and even Project Omega...
Herbo the Despicable was a famous Parseltongue from ancient Greece. He was one of the earliest known dark wizards. He was also considered to be the first wizard to breed a basilisk, and was famous for it.
But just when he took a step back and wanted to check again from a distance, he suddenly felt as if his shoes had stepped on something.
From this it can be inferred that he must have committed an act of murder in order to split his soul.
Narrak is quite cunning and knows the tricks of a cunning rabbit.
When renovating the Krone, he not only hid his bedroom and study in an unobtrusive deck compartment, but also provided it with more than one secret entrance and exit.
All the nonsense about "thousands of changes, endless changes" was thrown out of his mind.
In this life, his name is "Morty".
He decided to teach the future wizard who was a genius in making Horcruxes a good lesson, and let that guy (Tom Riddle) see what it means to be despicable and what it means to be evil.
Morty looked at Tom Riddle's broken diary with a complicated expression.
To be honest, the goblin's design of his lair is indeed worthy of the evaluation of "exquisite".
No matter what changes happen along the way, I will achieve ultimate success! "
Based on his understanding of his invention, he naturally knew that Horcruxes could not be destroyed using ordinary methods, so he prepared to use drastic measures to completely burn the diary in his hand into nothingness from the inside out.
These people have grown up first and have long since degenerated into complete dark wizards - and they are basically the most morally corrupt and ruthless villains, with their hands already stained with the blood of innocents.
Through murder, they were unable to tear out the minimum share of soul necessary to create a Horcrux.
At the same time, this should be the final storage room where that guy hides his treasures. After all, fairies are generally reluctant to let go of their beloved treasures while sleeping.
It is precisely because of this that when trying to make Horcruxes, they all got stuck in the step of tearing apart their own souls by "murdering their own kind".
Even if the dark wizards at that time discovered the phenomenon of "human beings murdering their own kind" by chance, they would tear apart part of the murderer's soul.
(A certain big blue bird: Do you want to think about it before speaking? If you think so, then it seems unreasonable for me not to arrange some changes for you.)
This Morty quickly opened the secret door, cast a levitation spell on himself, and then jumped down from the entrance of the secret passage.
If you pick any young wizard who goes to school at Hogwarts, even if you meet the prerequisites for splitting enough soul fragments, that person probably won't be able to understand (let alone make) the other steps of a Horcrux.
Opening the wooden box, Morty saw a black hard-cover diary with a cracked cover. He carefully took it out and looked at it carefully in his hand.
"I'm not angry, not a ghost!"
He only needs to take off from the pier on the shore, and use the magical properties of the stilts made of fairy iron to convert the energy accumulated along the way into amazing jumping power. Then he can jump directly onto the hurricane deck, and then quickly return to his bedroom through this secret entrance. among.
After reciting a spell, the pair of stilts in Morty's hands trembled at the same time, and then a pair of phantoms jumped out.
Just like the elevator that Bourne found before, it was actually the secret passage for Narlak to go to his "goblin factory".
Three eight, one sixty two, one seven, eight
Looking down, Morty saw several handwritten pieces of parchment scattered on the floor, and he picked them up.
Then, just like Bourne did before, he read the entire content of Narlak's manuscript at a glance.
"Sure enough," Morty was immediately overjoyed. He immediately walked to the spot where Bourne had been standing before and took out the wooden box from Narlak's display cabinet.
However, before his first reincarnation, his original name was actually——
The pair of illusory stilts stood on the floor, walking back and forth, forming illusory tracks.
After trying to persuade himself for a second, to no avail, the despicable Halbo, who now bears the name "Morty", decided to take action.
The reason is also very simple:
Tom Riddle was still a child then.
After landing at the bottom of the passage, Morty first kicked open a replica below, then passed through the ceiling of Narlak's bedroom and slowly fell to the ground.
Morty was thinking in his mind, and then began to recite a spell that no one could understand nowadays. Because this spell was created by him, and the language carrier used was neither Latin nor Runic, but a language that had long since disappeared in the long history.
He was convinced that this room filled with all kinds of clutter and all kinds of specious magic items was the goblin's resting place.
Morty quickly followed, following the shadow all the way to the hurricane deck on the top of the Krone (the light deck on the top of the cruise ship), and then around the paddle wheel cover, and finally found a hidden one next to the boiler chimney. Close the secret door.
And this naturally made Haierbo jealous. Although he kept telling himself - "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I have found other similar ways to extend my life anyway" - but seeing future generations succeed by stepping on his shoulders, a serious person was certified by the magic history textbook. How could a dark wizard really not be jealous?
"Tracking development!"
"Let me find the opportunity item for reincarnation and find out which piece of your collection it will be..."
The only purpose of this spell is to find things that are "destined" with him - he has no intention of spreading this spell, nor does he want to teach it to other wizards to use - soon , a dark green light bloomed on an item in the cabin.
From this we can see how coincidental, how miraculous, and how difficult it is to replicate that Tom Riddle was able to create the Horcrux.
Morty felt that there was something extraordinary about this diary, but he didn't find out what was extraordinary about it.
Historically, everyone except Tom, including Herbo, who had tried to make Horcruxes, were all adult dark wizards.
Two minutes later, the shadows formed by the stilts gradually spread throughout the dressing room, and finally left the cabin.
The secret door that Morty found now is the deck passage that Narlak usually takes when he "finishes his work" and returns to his lair.
Despicable Herbo.
"Yes, yes, that's it." Morty urged gently with hope, and the shadows ran faster and faster on the ground. "Take me to the goblin's bedroom, study, or other places where he might hide things."
Such people have long regarded killing as normal.
"This thing - if I'm not wrong - looks like a Horcrux made by someone later who imitated the magic spell I invented?"
Therefore, although Haierbo invented a relatively complete Horcrux manufacturing process, he failed when he made a Horcrux for himself.
And Tom Riddle's success, to be honest, was actually a coincidence.
At this moment, his view on "change" was no longer as clear-cut as before.
His urging really worked.
In addition, he invented many evil curses, and magical historians believe that he is the wizard who probably invented the way to make Horcruxes.
The historical records about the despicable Haierbo are generally correct, with only one omission: the despicable Haierbo did not create a Horcrux.
Of course, this is also related to Tom Riddle's unreasonably high magic talent.
Look left, look right.
However, he didn't expect - even Morty didn't expect at first - that everything that happened tonight would be such a coincidence.
"Without the Horcrux, let's see how you can survive!"
Morty (Helpo) roared in his heart, and there was a touch of morbid fanaticism in his eyes.
