save the bachelors

Chapter 4164 [Diary Obtained]

Xiang Nan overheard the conversation between Malfoy and his son, and couldn't help but admire that the old pure-blood family was not given for nothing.

Their sense of smell is very keen, and they can keenly perceive the changes in power and make decisions that are beneficial to their own interests.

This is a very rare ability, and it also ensures that the Malfoy family has survived for a thousand years.

Just like in the original book, at the end, the Malfoy family was destined to perish along with Voldemort.

After all, their family's identity as Death Eaters has been exposed.

Not to mention Lucius Malfoy, a veteran Death Eater who was imprisoned in Azkaban prison, escaped from prison, and continued to follow Voldemort.

Draco Malfoy is no less guilty. Not only is he a Death Eater, he is also suspected of murdering Dumbledore, almost killing Katie Bell and Ron Weasley, and using the Imperius Curse to control Rosmerta, the owner of the Three Broomsticks.

These things were enough to make them suffer a lot, but they turned around at the last minute and jumped off the ship in time, and finally passed the liquidation of the Ministry of Magic safely.

This shows how accurately they grasp the current situation.

Compared to them, the Lestrange family was too stupid. The entire family was destroyed and buried with Voldemort.

……

Xiang Nan then sneaked into the secret room under the living room.

I saw that there were indeed many dangerous and evil objects in the secret room.

Such as magic mirrors surrounded by black air, skeletons emitting evil auras, puppets uttering low mutterings, etc., many of them are props cast with black magic and are very deadly.

Xiang Nan searched carefully and soon found an inconspicuous diary in a box.

The cover of this diary is black, looks wrinkled and tattered, and is not eye-catching at all.

When he opened it, there was no writing on it. Only on the first page, there was a name written in illegible ink: Tom Riddle.

Xiang Nan knew that this was one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, his diary.

The reason he used this diary as his first Horcrux was because he had no other precious items at the time.

In his fifth year, he found the Chamber of Secrets left by Slytherin, summoned the sleeping basilisk, and killed Myrtle.

Because it was a malicious murder, his soul was split, and he used this opportunity to create his first Horcrux.

At that time, he was just a poor student with nothing, and this diary recorded his process of tracing his life experience, and he also regarded it as an important testimony of his journey of finding his roots.

Therefore, although the diary is ordinary, it has extraordinary significance to Voldemort.

Xiang Nan then picked up the diary and used the "Copy in Pairs" function to copy one and put it back in the box.

Anyway, Lucius Malfoy didn't know that this diary was Voldemort's Horcrux. He just thought that it was an evil magic prop made by Voldemort. But he didn't know how evil it was.

So in the original book "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", he easily threw it to the Weasleys. If he harmed someone, he would have gained an advantage. If he didn't harm anyone, he wouldn't have suffered any loss.

Anyway, the Dark Lord was already dead, and the Ministry of Magic was investigating closely, so he was not willing to continue keeping Voldemort's things at home.

Therefore, even if Xiang Nan replaced the diary, Lucius Malfoy would not be aware of it at all.

... After getting the diary, Xiang Nan left Malfoy Manor, then Apparated again to the cliff beside Saltaire village, then jumped into the sea, passed through the crack, and came to the cave again.

When Xiang Nan came to the cave again this time, he felt obviously different, because this time he sensed the fluctuation of magic power in the cave.

This means that Voldemort has been here and arranged it as a hiding place for the Horcruxes.

Xiang Nan then began searching the cave and soon found an entrance covered with magic on the cave wall.

He pointed his wand at the rock, and suddenly there appeared the outline of an arch, emitting a dazzling white light, as if there was a strong light shining behind the crack.

Xiang Nan studied it carefully again and immediately figured out the way to the entrance.

Yes, there is indeed a hidden door here. To open this door, you must paint the entire door with your own blood.

If the entire door is covered with it, it is no exaggeration to say that the person will become very weak. After all, wizards do not have any advantage in physique compared to ordinary people.

Xiang Nan was not afraid of blood. With his vitality, he would not become weak even if he covered the entire door with blood. However, he did not want to cover the door with blood.

He then used the earth escape technique to enter the cave wall, and then moved forward all the way. Soon he passed through the cave wall and came to the shore of a large black lake.

The lake was so vast that one could not see the other side. The cave was also very high that one could not see the top of the cave even if one looked up.

Far away, as if in the middle of the lake, a dim, green light flickered, reflecting in the dead water below. All around was complete and impenetrable darkness.

Xiang Nan then leaped towards the green light. He had learned the flying spell from Voldemort's soul fragment, and his speed was as fast as flying with a sword.

The only thing is that it is not as reliable as flying with a sword or riding a broom, and it consumes more magic power.

……

Xiang Nan quickly came to the green light and saw that it was a small island in the middle of the lake. It was not very big, only the size of a house. The island was made up of flat black stone slabs, empty except for the light source of the green light.

When you look closer, you can see that the light source is actually a stone basin with a base underneath. The basin is filled with emerald green liquid that emits a glittering phosphorescent light.

Xiang Nan recognized at a glance that the liquid inside was the poison of despair.

This poison is extremely horrible. After taking it, it will make people think of the most painful, most desperate and most unwilling things in their hearts, making people suffer terribly and feel that life is worse than death.

The more you drink, the more pain you will suffer. And after drinking, you will be extremely thirsty. At that time, you will not be able to resist drinking the water in the lake.

But Xiang Nan knew that there were corpses planted by Voldemort in the lake.

The Inferi are dead bodies summoned by black magic. They have no life, soul or thoughts, are afraid of fire and light, and like darkness and dampness.

The Inferi were not difficult to destroy, and many fire spells could kill them. But the number of Inferi that Voldemort had ambushed was simply too large, numbering in the hundreds.

Except for a few top wizards, most wizards do not have the ability to fight in groups. Those who can deal with the siege of three or four people at the same time are already top masters.

Therefore, Voldemort set up hundreds of Yin corpses here, which became a killing trap that very few people could break.

But this does not include Xiang Nan.

He then took out a bottle of potion from his storage bag, which was the antidote he had specially made for the poison of despair, and poured it into the basin.

The poison in the basin, which was originally glowing with green phosphorescence, suddenly turned into a light pink.
