LIGHTNOVELONLINE Vol 3 Chapter 493: Black Forest in Albania
A ghost, a black ghost, wandering the land of Europe.
The magical forces all over Europe are trying to catch it-the British Ministry of Magic, the German Federal Magic Council, and the Yugoslavian Magic Committee... They united together and tried their best to send this ghost to hell!
But they all failed!
The ghost easily evaded all chase and besieged, cracking one place after another defensive magic. Until a few days later, it arrived at its final destination——
The Black Forest of Albania!
……
This is the third time Tom Riddle has been here.
Even though I said every time, I felt even more embarrassed.
The first time he had just graduated from Hogwarts.
In this forest, he found the Ravenclaw crown that Helena Ravenclaw (Ms. Gray) told him; he was also here, and found the last material needed to make the Horcrux. He killed an Albanian native and made the golden crown that could bring wisdom into his Horcrux.
The second time, after he experienced that nightmare night in Godric Valley.
Harry Potter, the boy in the prophecy, possessed a mysterious ancient magic that he didn't understand; on which night, his life-killing spell was bounced back and destroyed his body; everything was caught off guard.
He lost his body and was weak, but he was still alive. He fled to this forest, hoping here that loyal Death Eaters would come and find him, but those living Death Eaters would think he was dead or he would be imprisoned in Azkar. class.
He waited here for thirteen years (due to the arrival of the idiot Quirnas Quirrell, he left for less than a year), until Wormtail found him. And from the memory of Bertha Jorkins, the official of the Ministry of Magic, he learned about the Triwizard Tournament and the whereabouts of Barty Crouch Jr.
And the third time, it is now.
After leaving this black forest for just three years, he returned here again.
This time, he was more embarrassed than he was sixteen years ago... Sixteen years ago, he still had six Horcruxes in the world; and sixteen years later, all his Horcruxes had been predicted by the wizard Jon Hart , Destroyed one by one.
But he is far from being as weak, frightened, and helpless as he was 16 years ago... because 16 years ago, he was desperate and chose to come here; but today, 16 years later, he voluntarily gave up My original body, but chose to return here!
……
This journey is not difficult, because Tom Liddell has accumulated enough experience.
He chose to attach to other animals, especially snakes. Although this is not the best choice, because the animal's body is not suitable for magic, and his possession shortens their lifespan, and they did not live long.
Of course, there are better choices too——
Perhaps Tom, sixteen years ago, hated doing this, but now, he doesn't care much about it.
That is, being attached to a Muggle.
Muggles’ bodies are also not suitable for magic, but their lifespan is longer and their souls are stronger, so they don’t need to change their bodies at will. More importantly, unlike other animals, Muggle’s brain is almost as developed as a wizard, which can help him think about many things!
Soon, Tom found his target: an Albanian forest ranger.
This forest ranger is patrolling around the Albanian Black Forest as usual-to ensure that in the event of a fire, early detection, early reporting, and early rescue; at the same time, preventing the destruction of forest resources.
But he didn't expect that, in the bushes, a viper stared at him (Tom Riddle is now possessing this viper). The forest rangers are unprepared, because in the forest, snakes are rarely seen in broad daylight.
The Viper followed Muggle patiently and moved lightly in the surrounding bushes...Until the Muggle was resting on a bluestone slab, it flew up——
……
A few minutes later, the forest ranger stood up and patted the dust on his body.
At the same time, he threw a dead snake into the bush next to it.
Tom Riddle stretched out his new body... I have to say that Muggle bodies are always so clumsy, so fragile, and have no magical affinity at all; they are worthless except for the brain.
Tom was thinking patiently as he walked out of the Black Forest.
Looking back now, the choice he made at Hogwarts may have been sloppy.
The boy, the natural prophecy wizard, may be deceiving him—Tom actually doesn’t know what “magus prophecy” is, but judging from the performance of the opponent, he can guess some of his talent.
What the boy did at the time might not be to forget about the imminent success, or it might be deliberately intimidating him... he feared that he would stay at Hogwarts, so he made up Albus Dumbledore. The reason why Gellert Grindelwald would join forces against him... induce him to give up his body...
Of course, whether the truth is the former or the latter ~ www.NovelMTL.com~ is not important anymore... For the sake of safety, my current choice is undoubtedly correct.
At the same time, through this choice, he was able to confirm a little!
Theoretically, Tom doesn’t have any Horcruxes left...now he is just a remnant of all souls. With his superb magic, he will be very weak.
But the reality is not like this, his soul is much stronger than imagined.
That can prove one thing--
That is, he still has a Horcrux in the world!
……
What is that Horcrux that I don't know?
Tom knew the answer after a little thought:
is Harry Potter!
There has always been an inextricable connection between himself and the boy... Tom had been unable to confirm this before, but now he understands it all!
Just sixteen years ago, on the night Tom tried to kill Harry Potter, his ancient protection magic bounced his life-killing spell on him...
And a piece of his own soul was also torn apart at this time, parasitic on the only living soul in the collapsed building, that is, Harry Potter. So, this is why Harry Potter and Slytherin are not related by blood, but he can talk to the snake; his thinking can also be connected with himself.
A smile appeared at the corner of Tom's mouth:
Harry Potter, his seventh Horcrux!
