Chapter 1896 - 1040: Soul Device (3)
Chapter 1896: Chapter 1040: Soul Device (3)
However, Tao Yu didn’t mind this, and directly snatched the crown over before leaving.
When holding the crown, there was a cold sensation within it that seemed to want to slowly invade and affect him; Voldemort’s bizarre form had not yet communicated with this Soul Device.
And Tao Yu walked along the road while pulling out his magic wand and tapping it on the crown.
A domineering sense of rules began to forcibly shape and transform the powerful magical artifact, transforming the crown into a golden bracelet, which Tao Yu wore on his wrist.
"Unbelievable, Ravenclaw’s crown can be subjected to such a delicate transformation spell. Even with the internal magical interference of such a powerful magical artifact, I couldn’t achieve this back in the day. Are you a junior from Hogwarts?"
The dormant soul within the bracelet began to stir, issuing a probing inquiry.
There was a gentle, respectful, and courteous tone during the inquiry, not at all resembling Voldemort.
"I think you must have felt my presence inside, otherwise you wouldn’t have taken away what I carried closely. Tom Riddle should count as your senior."
This fragment of Voldemort’s soul continued to express his sincerity.
However, as a fragment of a Soul Device, his memory stopped at the time of creating the Soul Device.
The diary, originally a Soul Device, knew many things because Ginny wrote a lot on it, slowly revealing it to the other side.
And this time, this Soul Device sealed in the Room of Requirement for so long began its persistent coaxing.
"Oh, Senior Tom, your skill in making artifacts is remarkable. I’m very interested. I wonder which grade you were in when you created this artifact?"
Tao Yu said casually, without any resistance.
"I think I was about to graduate, so I know almost all the knowledge. If you have any questions in your studies, you can always ask me. I can even teach you how to make this magical artifact."
The Soul Device didn’t yet know Tao Yu’s character, still constructing his personality model for targeted guidance.
"My learning ability is quite strong."
"I know that. Being able to perform such a delicate transformation on Ravenclaw’s crown sufficiently proves your talent."
The Soul Device seemed somewhat excited. This was a perfect vessel!
If he could obtain this body, he would reign supreme!
"But my knowledge-gathering channels are limited. I’m tired of those conventional textbooks, and I haven’t yet obtained the reading permission for the library’s Forbidden Book Area, nor do I have any black magic channels."
"Black Magic..."
The Soul Device hesitated for a moment; this seemed too straightforward!
It’s probably a test, right?
Then he deliberated and said
"Well, you might be very talented, but relatively unfamiliar with magic. These black magics might be powerful, but most can affect one’s disposition. If one’s own will is not strong enough, they might fall under its influence..."
The Soul Device’s response was quite conventional, seemingly only speaking about the downsides of black magic.
But it also laid traps for inducement within.
It seemed to hint that as long as one’s own will is strong enough, black magic is merely a practical tool!
For a genius little wizard who could cast transformation techniques on Ravenclaw’s crown, the confidence might be quite high.
If the other party is truly interested in black magic, they definitely won’t be deterred by this sentence.
"I have some confidence in my will; Mr. Olivander told me that I’m a natural wizard."
"Oh, Mr. Olivander, what a nostalgic name. He was the one who selected my magic wand; he is a wise elder. I think his evaluation must be correct. Perhaps you really have the ability to master black magic..."
The voice of the Soul Device seemed somewhat wistful.
"Although I’m not skilled in black magic, I prefer researching black magic defense."
When saying this, Tao Yu could keenly feel a slight tremor in the Soul Device.
Hmm? Perhaps this is the Soul Device left behind when Voldemort returned to Hogwarts to apply for the Defense Against the Dark Arts position and was rejected?
He seemed to have some obsession about this.
"Defense Against the Dark Arts class? It seems Hogwarts has some issues with its Defense Against the Dark Arts class; they change professors every year."
Voldemort is a master of mind manipulation; coincidentally, Tao Yu, who holds the title of a visionary, was also becoming more and more adept at this path; both sides started entering a deeper level of attack and defense.
"Changing every year, that might affect students’ progress and continuity, right? After all, each teacher has a different teaching style."
The emotion within the Soul Device seemed to carry some schadenfreude and sarcasm with a faint sense of achievement.
Indeed, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was truly cursed by Voldemort, and the memory might be within this Soul Device.
"Yes, so if you excel in black magic defense, I would also be willing to seek your advice. Of course, if you want any form of compensation, I can obtain it for you..."
"Oh, I’m very grateful to you. You know, I’ve been kept there for so long, I lack an understanding of changes in the outside world. I hope you can explain to me some changes in the Wizard World over the years, preferably obtain some old newspapers."
"No problem, that’s very easy; the library should have a collection of past newspapers..."
