Chapter 267 Slughorn and Voldemort (Subscribe)

"Good evening, Professor Embers." Slughorn looked very happy as Ash walked into the room.

"I'm glad you didn't have an accident." Slughorn poured a glass of mead for Ash: "After all, it wasn't very peaceful there this year."

Ash didn't say anything, he just sat silently in front of Slughorn, and then said slowly, "I've already found out what you want to know."

"And the mysterious man..." Slughorn paused and said, "There's also the matter about the secret room, right?"

"Yeah." Ash nodded, and then calmly looked at Slughorn without the slightest intention to speak again.

"Oh, damn it." Slughorn laughed. "I'll pay you back. A promise and more secrets."

"Voldemort kept a basilisk there," Ash said.

"The basilisk..." Slughorn said in surprise, "Merlin, is the basilisk still alive?"

"Dead," Ash said, pulling out a fang from his bosom, which he believed Slughorn could see as a basilisk tooth.

"The teeth of the basilisk, tsk tsk..." Slughorn raised three fingers holding the teeth: "This is a valuable collection, especially the owner of this basilisk is a mysterious person..."

"Tell me you know everything about Voldemort." Ash said lightly, "This tooth is yours."

After all, Ash has dozens of basilisk teeth here, and the two largest ones are still in his office.

"Good chip, Embers..." Slughorn nodded and said, "It's worth my free speech."

"But what I said next, I hope you don't tell anyone else..." Slughorn lowered his voice, it was obvious that he seemed to be afraid of revenge after Voldemort's return, even if it was only a small risk , but it is worth his careful enough.

"I understand." Ash nodded. For Ashes, the promised things are sometimes like killed living corpses. Do you remember how many living corpses you have killed?

Of course, he is still willing to keep his promise to his friend Ash, but this Mr. Slughorn, who is like a riddle man... is not yet Ash's friend.

"The mysterious man is researching something terrifying..." he said slowly, "It's related to ancient black magic, and it's said that it's a secret he got in the restricted area."

"A dreadful spell that divides the soul."

Ash raised his eyebrows. He actually knew these things the day before yesterday. The Voldemort memory he received that day told Ash exactly what a Horcrux was and what Voldemort left in his diary.

Even Ash could vaguely guess how many Horcruxes Voldemort might have.

But this memory comes from the young Voldemort... Ash doesn't know what Horcruxes are there, which is why he came to ask Slughorn, maybe this guy with a mouthful of mead will know these things?

Seeing Ash's plain appearance, Slughorn was a little embarrassed. He thought that such explosive news would be enough to scare Ash, so he couldn't help but take a sip of mead.

You will be shocked by the next news, right?

"It is very likely that the mysterious person divided his soul into multiple parts and let it reside on different objects."

"These objects are called Horcruxes."

Ash nodded for Slughorn to continue.

Slughorn swallowed his saliva and continued: "These so-called horcruxes can be regarded as amulets for the mysterious man. As long as the horcruxes are not destroyed, he will not die."

You should be shocked by now, right?

Slughorn looked at Ash with a smile, only to have Ash say coldly: "Go on."

Merlin on...

"So that's why he can make a comeback." Slughorn thought for a while and said, "And I can probably be sure how many Horcruxes he has."

"How many pieces?" Ash's mood fluctuated a little, he wanted to know if his guess was right.

"Seven," said Slughorn slowly. "Seven is a magical number."

As I guessed... Ash nodded clearly and said, "Then do you know what they are?"

"Oh..." Slughorn shook his head regretfully: "No one knows, even the most loyal Death Eaters must know only one of them, right?"

Very good... Ash shook his head, then thought for a while and asked, "Do you know who else has connections with Slytherin besides Extis?"

"Salazar Slytherin?" Slughorn looked at Ash with some doubts: "I don't know many people with him..."

"But I happen to know one." Slughorn thought for a while and said, "Although he has been dead for many years, his grave should still exist."

"Where's his grave?" Ash asked.

"Egypt," said Slughorn, nodding his head. "His name is Herbo... Vile Herpo."

"Hmm..." Ash thought of Dumbledore's reminder. He also told himself that there was a ruin in Egypt related to Slytherin.

"He was a terrible dark wizard...and he was born in ancient Greece."

Ash was stunned when he heard this time, ancient Greek time... In other words, if this Hai Erbo wanted to contact Slytherin, he would have to live at least seven or eight hundred years...

This is impossible for any wizard...

unless……

"He's also the founder of Horcruxes," Slughorn said, "It's likely that he succeeded..."

"But no one knows now if he's dead or not."

Slughorn's words successfully made Ash more interested, yes, the inventor of the Horcrux, the famous dark wizard... Ash felt that he would find something incredible in that ruins.

Something to help with your own magic research.

"But I don't mind you going alone." Slughorn thought for a while and said, "It will be dangerous there, and there may be another basilisk."

"Why?" Ash asked.

"Because he agreed to be the trainer of the basilisk." Slughorn said: "I don't want a friend to die in an unknown underground palace like that."

Ash stood up and shook his head. "No, Mr. Slughorn."

"Okay..." Slughorn nodded upon seeing this, he raised the mead in his hand and said, "No more, Professor Embers."

Ash nodded and then walked towards the door of the study.

"Wait..." Slughorn suddenly stopped Ash, he frowned slightly and looked at Ash with some doubts and asked, "Dumbledore wasn't at Hogwarts at the time, right?"

"Yeah." Ash nodded, then looked at him a little strangely.

"Then who killed the basilisk?"

Slughorn said suspiciously: "The basilisk is almost immune to all spells."

Ash thought for a while and said, "A student."

"Student?" Slughorn froze. "Did he pass the owl exam?"

"Not really." Ash shook his head: "Just an ordinary second-year student."

"Oh..." Slughorn was silent, he began to wonder if Ash was lying to him, but Ash would not wait any longer, he pushed open the door and walked out of the study.

He still has to go back to Hogwarts to work on the final exam... When the final exam is over, he will go to Egypt.
