407 Failed record and 2 taboos

407 Failed record and 2 taboos

A lot of changes have taken place in the circular principal's office. There are no interesting little objects in Karan's memory. The portraits hanging on the wall are all empty. There is not a single principal left. He may be visiting others. Portrait went to inquire about the news.

Harry Snape was staying alone in the office. He didn't look much better than Gaspard - his arms were covered with scratches from branches, and his whole body was gray and gray, as if he had spent a lot of time. It took a lot of strength to escape from the siege of the Acromantula.

"How did you escape?" Callan stepped forward and asked, carefully checking whether Harry had been affected by anything else: "Ron and Hermione were both worried about you, and they even went to the Forbidden Forest to look for you. ”

The expression on Harry's face was a little dazed. After a few seconds, he suddenly came back to his senses and asked anxiously: "What did you say? Ron and Hermione, they-"

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous." Steve quickly comforted: "Not only Ron and Hermione, but also the professors in the school, they all rushed to the Forbidden Forest to stop the mysterious man's men."

Steve's original intention was to tell Harry that Ron and Hermione were protected by other professors, but this only had the opposite effect.

"Didn't James also go to the Forbidden Forest?!"

Harry's eyes slowly widened, and he suddenly thought of his adoptive father.

"No, I have to rush there as soon as possible, no..."

He murmured and ran out of the principal's office without even saying goodbye to the three of them.

Steve looked at Karan and Gaspard with some anxiety: "Did I just say the wrong thing?"

Gaspard nodded calmly.

Karan, after staring in the direction outside the door for a while, simply said: "Harry is the prophesied savior after all. There is no way we can lock him up at this time and let him watch his friends die than him." It’s even worse to suffer yourself.”

"Don't worry so much for now, hurry up and help me find the pensieve."

Harry's sudden appearance and departure were temporarily put aside by the three of them. They did not have enough ability to participate in this war and could only seek help from other places-that is, the memories left in their former home in Antioch.

Soon, Gespard found a strangely constructed pensieve in a cabinet with an open gap, which seemed to be caused by the previous fight between the professors and the Death Eaters.

"Fortunately, the Pensieve is still intact." Gesper said thankfully. He stared at this ancient creation with strange eyes, seemingly trying to figure out how the Pensieve could display memories.

Steve asked with some fear: "Do I have to watch it too? Isn't Gespar alone enough?"

He really didn't want to watch Antioch's memories with his own eyes.

Steve understood what an evil wizard Antioch was, and who knew what horrific images he would leave in his memory.

Under the gaze of the two of them, Karan took out the bottle he had taken away before and slowly poured the silver stream of light into the pensieve.

"Yes, you all are here to help."

Karan took a deep breath, his tone seemed quite tragic as he stared at the slowly swimming light.

"I am the descendant of Antioch. It is difficult to guarantee that he will not leave any traces in his memory. If there is a problem, I will count on the two of you to stop me."

This time, Steve didn't refuse.

Gaspard also nodded solemnly, patted the pistol in his arms, and made an inappropriate joke with his eyes: I will ensure that you are on your way safely.

Karan forced a smile: "I hope things don't get to this point... Antioch is not a wizard who can be stopped by a magic bullet."

"All right."

Karan finally counted down: "Three, two, one..."

When the last number rang, the three of them immediately immersed their heads in the basin.

This is really a wonderful feeling. Their heads did not touch the pelvic floor, but they were carried headfirst into the pelvic floor. They were still sinking, as if they were sucked into a black vortex.

Suddenly, Karan found himself in a dark house, surrounded by crucibles, ingredient cabinets and various alchemical equipment. It looked very much like a wizard's laboratory.

Guspard and Steve also appeared on the left and right sides of Karan. As soon as they reached the scene in their memory, they noticed Antioch Peverell sitting at a table - he was Carefully examine an old piece of parchment in your hand.

"That's Herbo's parchment."

Karan recognized it immediately and explained to the two of them: "That is also a Horcrux specially made by Haierbo using his soul. It cannot be destroyed. As long as someone uses the magic on it, Haierbo will have a chance to be destroyed again." Awakening appears in the body of the caster."

At this time, Antioch still looked very young, even younger than in the memory of Potter Manor.This should have happened shortly after the three brothers obtained the Herbo parchment. Antioch somehow secretly kept the parchment alone and seemed to be studying the magic on it.

Steve asked worriedly: "Has Antioch ever made a Horcrux?"

After thinking for a while, Karan shook his head and said: "No, do you still remember the experience in Potter Manor? Antioch had already made an unbreakable oath with the other two brothers, swearing that he would never use it in his life. There's evil magic up there."

In this inexplicable memory now, Karan finally has the opportunity to know the reason.

Antioch stared at Herbo's parchment for a while. At this time, he just put down the wand in his hand, with a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes.

"Horcrux..."

He murmured to himself: "It's not the person who got the parchment who is creating the Horcrux, but Haierbo is trying to find ways to make the user a new Horcrux, and the wizard is the best material for him to use to carry the soul - or Say, it is another incomplete soul, which is much more useful than any item."

Antioch calmly told the secret of the Horcrux. He seemed to be struggling for a while, but in the end he folded Herbo's parchment and put it away, and did not continue to study it.

"What a clever idea..."

He sighed in a low voice, but his eyes exuded a fascinating light.

"But this is not eternal life."

The Horcrux failed to get Antioch's approval in the end, and then the scene in front of the three people began to become blurry, which also made them feel a little confused - they didn't understand why Antioch deliberately left such a A memory.

Fortunately, there is a follow-up, and the scenes in my memory begin to change little by little.

They were still in this house, but the surrounding layout had changed a lot. Antioch was no longer that young, but Karan could still vaguely tell his age from his appearance.

"Linfred's last memory."

He reminded in a low voice: "At the end of that memory, the three Peverell brothers planned to explore the arch curtain of the Wizards' Council."

The memory of the time in Potter Manor ended here. Linfred did not accompany the three of them to behind the curtain, but he still said that after that, Cadmus got a strange stone and used it to make He got the Resurrection Stone, and even committed suicide not long after getting the Resurrection Stone.

The Antioch in front of the three of them seemed to have just returned home from behind the curtain. Otherwise, there was no way to explain why he looked so weak. It was hard for Karan to imagine that anything could harm Antioch. A thoughtful and unscrupulous wizard.

Perhaps only unknown dangers can do that.

At this time, large drops of cold sweat were constantly breaking out on Antioch's head, as if he was forcibly enduring great pain.He put his trembling palm into the pocket of the wizard's robe, and then took out a branch.

Karan immediately recognized the material of the branch—it was elder.

"Blood magic..."

Antioch once again had that vigilant look in his eyes, but he was also filled with uncontrollable fascination.

At this time, the whole process has reached the final step - the branches gradually change in Antioch's hands, and finally turn into the familiar appearance of Callan - that is, the Elder Wand.

Antioch held the Elder Wand in front of his eyes and said to himself: "What a perfect wand. As long as the blood of the enemy exists, it will give this wand unparalleled magical power."

"Unfortunately, that's all."

The scene in front of the three people became blurry again.

This was another incomplete memory. Antioch did not retain the specific process of studying the Herbo Parchment and creating the Elder Wand, but only left the final conclusions, which were not satisfactory to him.

While becoming increasingly confused, Karan and Gaspard also gradually understood the purpose of these memories.

“It was Antioch’s search for eternal life.”

Gaspard explained to the confused Steve: "He made it clear at the beginning that he was studying Helbo's parchment in order to seek immortality, but neither Horcruxes nor blood magic could completely satisfy him. .”

Steve didn't continue to ask. He couldn't wait to see what the next scene would be.

The same is true for Karan, especially now that he has learned about the role of emotional sealing, he hopes to know the way and secret of Antioch's successful immortality.

But when the third scene appeared, Karan and Steve were both stunned - this time they finally did not appear in a dark room again, but in a corridor full of torches.

And both Karan and Steve have been here in person.

"It's the secret passage of Potter Manor!" Steve exclaimed.

The place where they appeared was in the secret passage of Potter Manor. When they turned around, they could see the stone eye hanging in the air of the first section of the secret passage.

But the Stone Eye did not attack Antioch - of course it would not do so. The defensive magic here was all created by Antioch himself.

"Perhaps you should take a closer look at the person at his feet."

Gaspard suddenly pointed at Antioch's feet - Linfred was lying motionless on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Karan and Steve looked at each other, and they both had an unpleasant feeling at the same time - in the experience of Potter Manor, Linfred said that it was him who tried every means to throw himself into the blurry illusion created by the jumping cauldron. , but it doesn’t seem to be the case now.

And Karan still remembers that Mr. Flamel told him that when he and William were studying the Philosopher's Stone, Linfred suddenly asked them to leave quickly, saying that an evil wizard was about to visit.

Now Antioch looks much older, which is consistent with the time point mentioned by Mr. Flamel.

"Something seems wrong."

Karan's throat rolled hard.

At this time, the old Antioch watched Linfred for a while, then let him float beside him, and then walked towards the end of the corridor.

There is a door there, and behind the door is a secret room containing a jumping cauldron.

The door opened automatically in front of Antioch, and he entered calmly.

After noticing the presence of a wizard, the still and silent Hooper immediately grew a leg and jumped towards Antioch.

The curse was in effect again, but Antioch acted like he wasn't worried about it at all.

"Twisted illusions, and taboos..."

He whispered, pointed the Elder Wand at Linfred's body, and at the same time took out a stone from his pocket - Karan could clearly see the Deathly Hallows symbol on the stone - this was the Resurrection Stone.

At this moment, the scene in front of him suddenly darkened.

"What...what's going on?" Steve asked in horror.

Gaspard said thoughtfully: "Perhaps... is it because Antioch is trying to protect the people who watch the memories? Linfred did this. He deliberately blurred the memories related to the Forbidden One. Picture to prevent us from being affected by this——"

Gaspard's words stopped abruptly.

Things were completely different from what he imagined - when the light appeared again, Linfred's body was completely lifeless. Antioch silently stared at the jumping cauldron, and a black shadow suddenly appeared on it - -That's the forbidden one!The taboo who is not obscured at all!

Not even one!

A taboo also appeared behind Antioch, and a total of two taboos appeared in his memory!

"We..." Steve immediately sensed the danger. He didn't know if he had been targeted by these two taboos.

Karan is also unclear about this, but there is still something wrong with the development of things - he has personally seen the taboo in the moonlight and the taboo on the jumping cauldron. Although they both look like black shadows, they are not exactly the same. , but there are differences.

But the two taboos who suddenly appeared were almost identical, with no difference visible.

At the same time, Antioch suddenly looked directly at the taboo on the jumping cauldron and said: "The experiment was successful, but it also failed."

"The taboo cannot retain all the memories of his life."

He looked at the Taboo beside him: "It was like this before."

Then he looked back at the Taboo on the jumping cauldron: "The same goes for those who came after."

"Perhaps there is only part of the obsession, which becomes the source of the forbidden man's magic, but it is not enough at all."

"This is not eternal life."

Karan remembered that this was the experimental record that Aberforth had seen in Antioch's former residence, but now Antioch said it in front of the three of them.

Antioch waved his magic wand to make the taboo on the jumping cauldron go away.

After putting away the Taboo beside him in a strange way, he looked back at the jumping cauldron one last time and said in a calm tone, without any emotion at all.

"Farewell, Cadmus."

Antiochus left the chamber.

The three of them raised their heads from the Pensieve, their hearts filled with unspeakable coldness. Steve even looked back in fear, as if Antioch had just closed the door.
