Chapter 103: Nagini
♤
"Let's go, Nagini."
Meeting Nagini was an accident within an accident.
Judging from Riddle's memory, he had indeed met Nagini very early, when he was still living in the orphanage. But Cyrus didn't expect that he just came to visit the "scenic spots" of the Riddle family, and unexpectedly found Nagini lying quietly inside the lush ivy.
She mistook Cyrus for Riddle.
Surprisingly, Nagini has forgotten almost everything about herself as a person, but she still remembers the boy she met fifty years ago who could talk to her so firmly, as if she has never forgotten her life in the past fifty years.
I just took a nap, and when I woke again, time had not moved far forward.
The meeting is always so pleasant, although Cyrus has already explained that he is not actually Riddle himself, but it may be difficult to understand for Nagini's current brain capacity.
She would never be able to distinguish between good and evil, nor would she know that the child she once knew would later become a more terrifying Dark Lord than Grindelwald.
But no matter what, at least she could still feel the difference between herself and other "similar people". This time, she chose to leave with Cyrus.
Leaving Little Hangleton County, you can find Gaunt's old house four or five miles further.
Compared to Riddle Mansion, this place was as dilapidated as a hay shed for raising livestock. The only decoration is probably an S-shaped dead snake nailed to the door.
The walls were covered with moss, and many of the tiles on the roof had fallen off, exposing the inner rafters.
Nettles grew thickly around the house, reaching up to the windows, which were very small and covered with thick layers of old dirt.
The whole house has become a natural habitat for mice and spiders, with dead moth corpses entangled in dense cobwebs everywhere.
Cyrus did not enter rashly, he knew that Voldemort had left a curse here. But he also happens to know how to lift it. The two Horcruxes, the Gaunt family ring, and the diary were made very close to each other.
Many people think that the diary was made when Voldemort murdered Myrtle, but this is not the case. Myrtle's death was just an accident.
Voldemort's killing of the Riddle family and the rest of the Gaunt family was his first real murder.
Both of these Horcruxes were made at that time.
Of course, compared to the diary, the ring does come later.
But in fact, there is a connection between Horcruxes, Harry, and Voldemort's body.
Harry and Voldemort can invade each other's brains, and Harry and Nagini's perspectives can even overlap.
Therefore, although there are not many memories preserved in the diary, when Voldemort has strong emotions, he will still resonate with them.
Cyrus also saw the moment before Voldemort's "death".
It was at that moment that the connection between Voldemort and the Horcruxes he had created was severed. Whether it was a diary, a pendant, or a gold cup... Voldemort didn't even notice that these Horcruxes were destroyed.
But when Nagini was killed, Voldemort suffered a severe blow. Not to mention, when he hit Harry with the killing curse, he was also knocked down.
But even so, the curse is very complicated.
It took him almost the whole night to get the ring. Of course, the ring is not important, what is important is the black prismatic stone on it. It looks like a black crystal with the Peverell Crest engraved inside.
The Resurrection Stone, one of the three Deathly Hallows!
It's just that resurrecting people through the Resurrection Stone will not bring the people's consciousness back. They will be more like a body without a soul.
Of course, if the existence of the 'Death' and "The Tale of the Three Brothers" is true, then it is not so much that the people resurrected by the Resurrection Stone have no souls, but rather that they have lost their emotions.
People who have lost their joy, anger, sorrow, and joy will eventually fall into madness even if they are alive.
In any case, this cannot conceal the power of the Resurrection Stone.
Because it breaks an iron law of the wizarding world. As Dumbledore said, no spell or potion can bring the dead back to life, not even the Philosopher's Stone.
Cyrus created a body through the Philosopher's Stone, but this is fundamentally different from resurrecting a dead person.
The Philosopher's Stone only creates a "living" and "vital" body. In the final analysis, this is still a material transformation. However, compared to other alchemies, the magic power of the Philosopher's Stone has reached the limit of alchemy.
But the Resurrection Stone not only creates a body, it even summons the souls of the dead. It stands to reason that the souls of the dead who have not become ghosts will dissipate directly, but the resurrection stone can bring them back to the world.
Even if those souls come back with flaws, it would be an incomparable miracle.
In addition, the Resurrection Stone has another special feature - among the three Deathly Hallows, it is the only one engraved with the Peverell Crest.
Cyrus took off the Resurrection Stone from the ring. As for the ring itself, it was of no use to him. He was considering whether to destroy the ring.
After all, Voldemort was also his enemy.
Cyrus did not believe that if Voldemort knew that he had a "horcrux" that was resurrected, but lost control of that "Horcrux", he would not regard him as a thorn in his side.
Let's put it this way, the conflict between him and Dumbledore may still be resolved, but as long as Voldemort learns of Cyrus's existence, he will definitely find ways to get rid of this "fake".
Moreover, Cyrus believed that Voldemort might already know of his existence. After all, the Ministry of Magic had already spread the wanted notice for "Tom Riddle" throughout the UK.
Although Voldemort is now in the dark jungle of Albania, Cyrus believes that Dumbledore will definitely spread the news of his resurrection to Voldemort's ears in order to test Voldemort. As for what actions Voldemort will take, Cyrus has no idea.
"I can't use the Resurrection Stone right now, but it can be considered as insurance. As for the other two Deathly Hallows -"
Cyrus recalled that not long ago he planned to escape Hogwarts with Harry's Invisibility Cloak but was discovered by Dumbledore. In the end, the invisibility cloak could not be taken away.
All this seems to be just a coincidence, but considering that neither Dumbledore nor Grindelwald had owned three Deathly Hallows at the same time before, it doesn't seem like a coincidence.
It was as if someone in fate was preventing them from gathering all the Deathly Hallows.
