"...It's really strange. It only takes one day to complete the transformation, but it has become so strong!"
Seeing that Rosie's vision had returned to clarity, Christina smiled at her, and then continued, "Ms. Sethia, I think it seems to recognize you. Don't you have any impression of it at all?"
"I don't remember seeing this person before..."
Saying that, Sethia pondered for a moment, but finally shook her head helplessly, "It's true that it has no impression, but it's strange, how does it know that only half of the "Book of Melina" is left?"
Sethia raised her chin with a confused expression. Only then did Rosie realize that all the wounds on her body had healed.
"When did she heal herself? When I checked her memories?"
At this moment, Sethia raised her eyes and looked at Rossi: "So, as an Auror of the Ministry of Magic, have you found any clues in my memory?"
No wonder she used Legilimency to ask me to check my memory. It turned out that she had such an idea.
Rossi suddenly felt enlightened. Instead of answering her question, he asked, "Can you briefly tell me what is recorded in the Book of Melina? I want to know why he wants to get this book."
Regarding the family's banned book, Sethia couldn't help but show some hesitation on her face. After her eyes lingered on Rosie and Christina for a moment, she slowly spoke:
"Those are the notes left by Melina, the legendary witch from ancient times, the ancestor of my Valentine family. It records a lot of magic and secrets from ancient times, such as the songs of the old days that I sang, and the secrets of Horcruxes. Crafting and recycling, such as lich formation and ritual.”
As if remembering some bad memory, her voice paused for two seconds before continuing:
"...But this part of the records related to the lich disappeared when I was very young. I guess this is what it wants to get."
As for Rossi, who was standing next to him, his heart was already churning violently when he heard the words "making and recycling Horcruxes".
The moment Sethia's words fell, she could no longer hold back the questions in her heart and asked one after another:
"Recycle? Can a Horcrux be recycled? Isn't it used to avoid death? Why do we need to recycle it?"
"Of course!"
Christina finally said, "Avoiding death is just a side effect of Horcruxes. Wizards in ancient times created Horcruxes in order to have more time to explore ultimate knowledge. Once something is gained, the Horcruxes can be recovered to complete the split. Their souls are what they must do next.”
"By the way, why are you so interested in Horcruxes? I just mentioned it casually yesterday, why did you... go check its information?"
As she said that, Christina looked at Rosie suspiciously, "Don't do anything stupid. Horcruxes are considered a kind of evil magic, both in ancient times and now."
"Christina! What are you thinking about?"
Rossi gave her a dumbfounded look, "I was thinking that that lich might be a Horcrux."
"Lich? Horcrux?"
Christina's mouth widened, "Horcruxes are ritual magic created after the lich's transformation ritual. Making lichs into horcruxes is too..."
"It's possible!"
Sethia suddenly stood up from the chair, "A Horcrux can be anything. Since objects and living creatures can be used, there is nothing impossible for a lich."
"Find the lich when it is born, make it into a Horcrux without any resistance, and then transform it into a lich through rituals. Oh, what a very creative idea!"
"And this also explains why it was able to use magic at the beginning of its transformation, and why it became so powerful in just one day."
A series of speculations came from Sethia's mouth, and then she turned her scrutinizing gaze to Rossi: "Why did you see that it was a Horcrux? Do you know him?"
Well... I was indeed suspected.
Facing Sethia's slightly suspicious eyes, Rossi sighed silently, took out two pieces of white paper from his system backpack and spread them on the table.
Immediately afterwards, she took out the quill and gently moved it forward. While the pen was still floating in the air, she took out the wand and clicked it.
The quill infused with magic stood up instantly, and quickly sketched out two portraits on the white paper like an inkjet printer, smoothly and silkily.
A young man, a man in his prime, exactly the image of Voldemort that Rossi had encountered before.
"He is Voldemort, whose real name is Tom Riddle. He is the leader of an extremist organization."
Rosie talked eloquently and briefly described her several encounters with Voldemort in the style of Spring and Autumn.
Looking at the portrait on the white paper and listening to Rossi's story, Sethia's suspicions were immediately reduced by half.
"Tom Riddle..."
She chewed the name with a blank expression, "In this era, he can find the birthplace of the lich in advance, and he can successfully make Horcruxes at such an age... Could it be that he..."
Sethia shook his head, dismissed the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and looked at Rossi again: "Since he succeeded, why didn't he find his true body? Instead, he found me?"
"For the Book of Melina."
Rossi judged without hesitation, "In order to find a method from the book to prevent the Horcrux from being recycled, or even back-devouring the original body."
"hiss!"
Christina took a breath, "But whether they are bodies or Horcruxes, aren't they all the same person?"
Sethia explained solemnly: "No, once the Horcrux is formed, it will be an independent individual unless the body dies."
"Since he started making Horcruxes at such a young age, there is no doubt that he must be an ambitious guy. In this way, Rossi's speculation is also reasonable! I just don't know what he will do next..."
Hearing what she said, Rossi suddenly thought of a question: "As a lich, how should you recover quickly after suffering such an injury?"
"Supplementary activity..."
At this point, Cecia and Christina looked at each other in shock, "Oops! A nearby village!!!"
Not wanting to say anything more, Christina grabbed a quill and wrote down something, then summoned an owl and sent it out.
"Rosie, we have to find that guy to prevent him from causing more trouble!" Christina said quickly and urgently.
Before Rosie could reply, she disappeared with a slight explosion.
Rosie turned around to look, only to see that Sethia had already left before she knew it.
Um...what about me?
With a silent murmur, Rossi left the independent plane.
Ease the relationship between Coraline sisters?
Looking at the clear mission prompts on the mission panel, Rossi couldn't help but complain:
"What about the agreed-upon relationship? Why are you related to Voldemort again? Even if the next era is Voldemort's, there is no need to encounter him so frequently! Let's just change the name of this game to "Voldemort: The Age of Magic" Got it!"
