Chapter 4166 [Extraordinary times call for extraordinary actions]

  "Now that we have the five Horcruxes, what we need to do now is how to deal with them." Xiang Nan explained, "There are two problems here. First, how to preserve the original value of these holy objects as much as possible while destroying the Horcruxes;

Second, how to prevent Voldemort from noticing that the Horcrux was destroyed. Or even if he did notice that the Horcrux was destroyed, he would not have time to make another one.

Otherwise, he should take the risk and make at least one more Horcrux. He originally planned to make six Horcruxes. If he found that all five Horcruxes were destroyed, I believe he would take the risk. "

It is not difficult to destroy a Horcrux. Xiang Nan can use the Fiendfyre spell and ensure that the Fiendfyre he casts will not spread into a disaster like Crabbe's.

But the key point is that in addition to Voldemort's diary, things like the Gaunt family ring, the Hufflepuff gold cup, the Ravenclaw crown, and the Slytherin locket are all extremely valuable magical relics.

If it were to be burned by the fierce fire, it would be truly ruined.

Because the fierce fire is also called the fire of hell and the fire of the devil, it can burn everything and even water cannot extinguish it.

Moreover, there is a subtle connection between Voldemort and the Horcruxes.

In the original novel, his soul was split seven times, and it was so fragmented that he didn't even notice when multiple Horcruxes were destroyed.

But now, his soul has only been split five times, so the connection between him and the Horcrux should be relatively close, so it would be difficult for him not to notice it.

"I know a soul-eating potion that can be used to destroy Horcruxes without causing any damage." Dumbledore said after thinking for a moment.

Xiang Nan nodded, knowing that Dumbledore had great attainments in potions. He discovered the twelve uses of dragon's blood, and he and Nicolas Flamel also made great achievements in alchemy. All of these were recorded on his Chocolate Frog card.

When Dumbledore destroyed the Gaunt family ring, he did successfully preserve the Resurrection Stone, and later Harry used it to summon his parents, Sirius, and others.

Unlike the diary destroyed by the basilisk's venom, the Slytherin's locket, the Hufflepuff's gold cup, and the Ravenclaw's diadem destroyed by the Fiendfyre... those were truly destroyed once they were destroyed.

"But I don't know how to cut off the connection between the Horcrux and its owner." Dumbledore added.

Horcruxes are a very evil and eccentric form of black magic, and very few wizards dare to make them.

Because death is not actually that difficult for wizards to accept.

Wizards have a place to go after death. They will pass through places like King's Cross Station and continue their new journey to the next world.

But once a Horcrux is made, the soul is no longer complete, and after death it cannot go to the next world, and can only live in this world. If no one helps, it will be like a wandering soul, running around, living a life worse than death, or even worse than a ghost.

Therefore, except for a very small number of people who are obsessed with "life", most wizards will not choose to make Horcruxes. Therefore, people's research on Horcruxes is not in-depth, and Dumbledore also knows limited about it.

"In that case, we can only destroy all his Horcruxes while killing him. This way he won't have time to make new Horcruxes." Xiang Nan nodded.

"Yes, this is a good idea. But how should we lure him out?" Dumbledore also thought.

Voldemort has always been elusive and secretive, unlike Grindelwald who is so flamboyant.

Grindelwald ran for the presidency of the International Confederation of Wizards openly.

In comparison, Voldemort only dared to plot conspiracies and murders in dark corners, and his scope was much smaller than Grindelwald's.

In fact, he is more of a terrorist leader than a Dark Lord.

Therefore, after Voldemort's last sneak attack on Xiang Nan failed and he was injured by Xiang Nan instead, he must have become a frightened bird and dared not go out again.

It's not easy to lure him out.

"I have an idea." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I now know that Voldemort branded a Dark Mark on the left arms of his Death Eaters.

He also uses this mark to contact his subordinates. And his subordinates will also summon him through the Dark Mark. We can use the Dark Mark of the Death Eaters to summon Voldemort. When he responds to the call and comes, we can take the opportunity to kill him. " Dumbledore nodded after hearing this, "But we don't know who else is a Death Eater now."

"Principal, I found this diary in the secret room of Malfoy Manor." Xiang Nan pointed at the diary.

"You..." Dumbledore was stunned.

Sneaking into Malfoy Manor without permission is an illegal act.

But then again, during war, everything was lenient.

In order to combat the arrogance of Death Eaters, werewolves and vampires, the Ministry of Magic even used the three Unforgivable Curses.

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Lucius Malfoy has been a supporter of pure-blood supremacy since school, and we had a conflict at that time.

When five Death Eaters attacked me last time, although I didn't stop him, I recognized him as Lucius. So I kept a close eye on him and paid attention to his every move, and I really gained something."

Dumbledore nodded. He was not a rigid, stubborn or dogmatic person.

He could understand what Xiang Nan did.

"Then let's brew the Soul-Eating Potion first, then find a way to summon Voldemort, and finally kill him." Dumbledore said immediately.

Xiang Nan nodded.

……

Brewing soul-devouring potion is not an easy task.

Even though Xiang Nan and Dumbledore were both masters of potions, they worked together and spent a month brewing the potion.

During this month, news gradually spread that Voldemort had been defeated by Xiang Nan.

People were a little bit unbelieving at first, but gradually they discovered that Death Eaters, werewolves, vampires, etc. were not as rampant as before.

There were far fewer attacks on Muggles, Muggle wizards, and half-blood wizards.

On the contrary, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic have achieved more and more results. Many evil werewolves, trolls, witches, vampires, etc. have been arrested or killed by the Aurors.

This made people more and more believe that the rumor was true and gave them more and more confidence.

This also made Xiang Nan's reputation more and more famous.

……

A month later, the soul-devouring potion was ready.

This is an extremely deadly poison. Even a slight whiff of it is enough to kill an ordinary person.

According to Dumbledore, this poison can even kill ghosts and make them disappear forever. It is more terrifying than the petrification of the basilisk and is quite powerful.

If it wasn't for the purpose of destroying the Horcruxes and protecting these holy objects, he would never have brewed this kind of potion.

Xiang Nan also agreed with this.

After brewing the soul-eating potion, Xiang Nan and Dumbledore were ready to formally confront Voldemort.
