0020 Horcrux
Lucius picked up the diary that August handed him, frowned and said, "It turns out that this diary is actually in the library. I have been searching for it for a long time. It would be great that you can find it, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble in the future!"
It turned out that many years ago, after Voldemort made seven Horcruxes and injected their souls into them, he placed the seven Horcruxes in different places. Among them, this Horcrux made from his diary was handed over to his subordinate Lucius for safekeeping.
However, Lucius put this diary in a corner of the library and forgot it. Originally, the Malfoy family's library was not small in size and had a very rich collection of books. Lucius had not been able to find this diary for a long time.
Now August discovered it by chance, but Lucius was very happy.
After all, this diary is of great importance. If Voldemort makes a comeback in the future, it would be awful if he loses this diary.
"August, Tom Riddle is a mysterious man, and this diary is also a Horcrux left by the mysterious man. In the future, no matter the name Tom Riddle or the name of the mysterious man, you should not mention it again!" Lucius said to August after picking up the diary.
"Mysterious Man" is the code name for wizards to call Voldemort. Knowing that most wizards still dare not directly say the name "Vodemort", it shows how frightening he was during Voldemort's reign.
August nodded and said, "No problem, but what exactly is the Horcrux?"
Hearing August's words, Lucius suddenly showed a somewhat complacent expression on his chest.
My son has been extremely wise since he was a child and has read a lot of books. His knowledge of the wizarding world has far surpassed him, which makes him feel both accomplished and very disappointed as a father.
Nowadays, a very rare August also has something to ask for advice from him. Lucius suddenly felt that he was of great value as a father.
After coughing twice, Lucius said slowly: "The so-called Horcrux is an extremely rare magic prop that can accommodate the soul of a wizard. The method of making the Horcrux has been almost lost at present, and only a few wizards still have it in their hands. A wizard can split his soul into the Horcrux. Even if he dies, as long as the Horcrux still exists, then this wizard can be reborn with the help of the Horcrux."
"The method of making the Horcrux has been almost lost, and only a few wizards are still in the hands of them. Because the process of making the Horcrux requires killing other creatures to sacrifice the souls, it is generally considered to be a very evil alchemy by wizards, and therefore it is explicitly prohibited by the orthodox wizard forces in all countries."
"Over time, there have been almost no wizards making Horcruxes again, and there are very few documents and records of Horcruxes."
Speaking of this, Lucius coughed twice and continued to add in an emphatic tone: "It is normal for you to not know such a secret message. Only wizards like me, who are knowledgeable as a father, will know the existence of the Horcrux!"
After Lucius introduced the Horcrux, he glanced at August beside him, hoping to see some expressions of admiration or worship on the other party's face.
But to his disappointment, August just nodded without showing any admiration for him, and then said something shocked to him in an understatement.
"So that's it. By the way, Voldemort's soul in this diary has been accidentally killed by me."
Hearing August's words, Lucius stood there with his mouth wide open and his eyes were dull. The diary in his hand also dropped to the ground with a snap.
At this time, Lucius had no choice but to say Voldemort's name directly without fear. All he thought of was the scene of the Malfoy family being killed by Voldemort in the future. His face also advanced from "shocked" to "faced like earth".
Lucius, whose throat was a little dry due to fear, subconsciously swallowed, and then stammered and asked August: "What did you just say?"
At this time, Lucius could only hope that he had just heard it wrong, or that his son was joking with him.
August repeated again with a blank expression: "I have killed Voldemort's soul in this diary."
Lucius said in a trembling voice: "This is done, it's completely over! When he comes back, our family will be finished!"
August looked at his somewhat lost father and said lightly: "Vodemort has disappeared for so long. If he had the ability, he would have come back to take revenge long ago. You are so worried."
Lucius shook his head and said, "You have never experienced that dark period and have no idea of his horror! No one is his opponent. Under his terrifying rule, all the wizards can only surrender tremblingly, and no one dares to resist him!"
August laughed when he heard this: "Isn't the most powerful wizard Albus Dumbledore, principal of Hogwarts? Besides, Voldemort himself didn't know why he was killed by the child named Harry Potter. He was not as terrible as your father thought."
Speaking of this, August's voice fell down: "Besides, even if he really returns, it may be a big deal to see whether he can defeat me."
When Lucius heard August's words, he calmed down a little.
Indeed, the current wizard world is different from the period when the black wizards were acting recklessly at that time. As a Death Eater, I also tried every means to cover up my identity and wash away the dark history of the past.
Even if Voldemort returns, Dumbledore, the old guy and the people from the Ministry of Magic will not let it go.
Most importantly, he was very convinced of his son's ability. Judging from the magical talent his son has shown now, it is not impossible to surpass Voldemort and Dumbledore!
"Forget it, even if you stand on Voldemort's side, there may not be a good result in the future. Why not take this opportunity to draw a clear line completely!" Lucius thought to himself.
Thinking of this, Lucius sighed and said, "Don't spread the diary and the Horcruxes, just pretend that nothing has happened."
