Chapter 99 Resurrection Stone and Nagini

"Let's go, Nagini.

Meeting Nagini was an unexpected surprise.

From Riddle's memory, he had indeed met Nagini a long time ago, when he was still living in an orphanage. But Cyrus didn't expect that he just came to visit the "historical sites" of the Riddle family, but unexpectedly found Nagini lying quietly in the lush ivy.

She mistook Cyrus for Riddle.

Surprisingly, Nagini had almost forgotten everything about herself as a person, but she remembered the boy who could talk to her fifty years ago so firmly, as if she had just slept for fifty years, and when she woke up again, time didn't go forward very long.

Meeting is always so pleasant, even though Cyrus has It has been explained that he is not actually Riddle himself, but it is probably difficult for Nagini to understand with her current brain capacity.

She will never be able to distinguish between good and evil, nor will she know that the child she once knew later became a dark lord more terrifying than Grindelwald.

But no matter what, at least she can still feel that she is different from other "kinds", and this time, she chose to leave with Cyrus.

Leaving Little Hangletonshire, go four or five miles forward to find Gaunt's old house.

Compared with Riddle's house, this place is as broken as a straw shed for raising livestock. The only decoration is probably an S-shaped dead snake nailed to the door.

The walls are covered with moss, and many tiles on the roof have fallen off, revealing the inside here and there. Rafters. The house was surrounded by dense nettles, so tall that they reached the windows, which were very small and covered with thick old dirt.

The whole house was infested with rats and spiders, and the spider webs were entangled with dead moths.

Cyrus did not rush in, because he knew that Voldemort had left a curse here. But he also knew how to remove it. The Gaunt family ring and diary were made at very close times.

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 killed the Riddle family and the rest of the Gaunt family, which was his first real murder.

Both Horcruxes were made at that time.

Of course, compared to the diary, the ring is indeed a little later.

But in fact, there is a connection between the Horcruxes and even with Voldemort's body. Harry and Voldemort can invade each other's brains, and even Harry can overlap with Nagini's perspective.

Therefore, although there are not many memories preserved in the diary, when Voldemort has strong emotions, he will still resonate with it.

Cyrus also saw the moment before Voldemort's "death".

It was at that moment that Voldemort's connection with the Horcruxes he made before was cut off. Whether it was the diary, or the pendant, the golden cup... Voldemort was unaware that these Horcruxes were destroyed.

But Voldemort suffered a severe blow when Nagini was killed. 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 a 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 piece of black crystal with the Peverell coat of arms engraved inside.

The Resurrection Stone, one of the three Deathly Hallows!

However, people resurrected through the Resurrection Stone will not be happy, they are more like a body without a soul.

Of course, if the story of the Grim Reaper and the three brothers is true, then it is better to say that the people resurrected by the Resurrection Stone have lost their emotions rather than having souls. People who have lost their joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness 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 rule of the magic world. As Dumbledore said, no spell or potion can revive a dead person, not even the Philosopher's Stone can do this.

Cyrus created a body through the Philosopher's Stone, but this is fundamentally different from resurrecting a person.

The Philosopher's Stone only created a "living" and "vital" body. In the final analysis, this is still a material transformation, but compared with other alchemy, the magic of the Philosopher's Stone has reached the limit of the category of alchemy.

But the Resurrection Stone not only creates a body, but also summons the souls of the dead. In theory, 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 have defects after returning, it is 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 emblem.

Cyrus took the Resurrection Stone from the ring, and 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 didn't believe that if Voldemort knew that he had a "Horcrux" that was resurrected, but lost control of the "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.
