Chapter 607: Resurrection Stone; Effects of the Crown

"week……"

Dumbledore watched Zhou Ming put the ring on his hand, a worried expression on his face.

But he soon felt relieved because he remembered Zhou Ming's identity. If Zhou Ming was really a god, then a curse of this level might really be nothing to him.

Zhou Ming closed his eyes and felt quietly for a moment, then finally opened his eyes again.

"How about it?"

Dumbledore asked impatiently.

"It's a dark magic that I've never seen before. Judging from the effect, it should be used to weaken vitality. It has a miraculous effect on older people."

Zhou Ming looked at Dumbledore thoughtfully.

Dumbledore smiled.

"Tom is still fond of playing his little tricks. Why does he think I will fall for them?"

"Because this is in the ring."

Zhou Ming raised his hand, and the surface of the ring suddenly opened, and a diamond-shaped stone flew up.

When Dumbledore saw the stone, he was stunned.

The Resurrection Stone is one of the three holy artifacts. Because of his guilt towards his sister, when he sees the Resurrection Stone, he will be eager to use this stone to resurrect his sister.

Even from a rational point of view, such a thing is simply impossible to achieve, but even Dumbledore cannot guarantee that he will always be rational.

"In addition to weakening vitality, this Horcrux also has a spell that can release a person's inner desires. It will make you want to touch it. However, this spell only targets the ring and has nothing to do with the stone inside. Senior Tom probably doesn't know that there is a mechanism inside the ring."

This is a bit strange to be honest. Didn't Voldemort check the ring carefully after he got it? Or did he know the existence of the Resurrection Stone, but he knew that the Resurrection Stone was not of much value?
The latter possibility was too low. Voldemort could believe in even a vague language. If he knew about the Resurrection Stone, how could he let it go? Therefore, Zhou Ming was more inclined to believe that Voldemort did not know about the existence of the Resurrection Stone.

That's really outrageous. How careless must this person be to not even check the carrier of the Horcrux?

In addition, I need to mention a little-known fact: Harry and Voldemort are actually distant cousins, very distant cousins.

Because their ancestors were two of the three brothers who were related to the Deathly Hallows.

Regarding the Deathly Hallows, the Tales of Beedle the Bard has already made it very clear that they are the three brothers of the Peverell family.

This family was one of the earliest pure-blood families to perish, and it had a very long history, possibly many years earlier than the four founders.

In the story, the three brothers received the three holy objects after they met the god of death and made a wish to him.

But considering that there are actually no gods in this world, these three holy artifacts were most likely made by the three brothers, or passed down from a more distant past.

No matter which point it is, it proves the extraordinaryness of this family.

The eldest of the three brothers, Antioch Peverell, was certainly killed, but it is not clear by whom. The story says that his throat was slit in his sleep, but this version is so ridiculous that it is likely to be a contender for the title of Joke of the Year.

Considering the characteristics of the Elder Wand, he is most likely to have died a violent death. And at present, he is the only one of the three brothers who has no offspring. After all, the wizarding world is so small, if he really has offspring, there should be no news until now.

The second son, Cadmus Peverell, is the owner of the Resurrection Stone. The Gaunt family is his descendant, including Voldemort later on.

The third child, Ignotus Peverell, is the owner of the invisibility cloak and the ancestor of the Potter family. His only descendant now is Harry.

So, the fate between Harry and Voldemort is really magical. If calculated by blood, they are relatives, but they are mortal enemies and must kill each other in order to survive.

Let’s get off topic, let’s talk about the living stone.

When Dumbledore saw the Resurrection Stone, his will was indeed shaken for a moment. He really, really wanted to take the Resurrection Stone for himself, but Zhou Ming was right in front of him, and even for the sake of face, he had to suppress that desire.

"What are you going to do with this Horcrux?"

"Destroy it. It's just an ordinary ring."

Zhou Ming took off the ring and cast a few sealing spells on it to seal all the dark magic power on it, then threw the ring to Dumbledore.

This thing is different from the relics of the four founders. The relics have special powers. For example, the crown can make people clear-headed, the sword can avoid dust and absorb the user's magic to strengthen himself, and the golden cup can help transport food and make food more delicious.

I don’t know what the specific function of Slytherin’s locket is, but it’s probably not simple.

The ring of the Gaunt family may have had some special powers in the early days, but as time goes by, even the most powerful magic equipment will become ineffective. It seems that now the ring has no other function except being a storage place for the resurrection stone.

"Okay, leave the rest to me. Sorry to bother you today."

Dumbledore said with a smile.

"It's no trouble. Just remember to look for me next time you find a Horcrux."

Zhou Ming waved his hands and didn't take the matter seriously.

"Of course, I'll take you back."

Dumbledore said.

By the way, he put the resurrection stone into his pocket.

"No need. I have almost finished my research on Apparition, so I'll give it a try."

Zhou Ming refused with a smile.

"You've learned to Apparate? When?"

Dumbledore looked at him curiously.

"Just now."

Zhou Ming was confident.

"Just now? I Apparated you once?"

Dumbledore was shocked. Is there really someone who can learn to Apparate just by seeing it? Even if it is a god, it is too outrageous, right?
"Of course it's not that easy. I've studied the theoretical knowledge for a long time, but it's really not that difficult."

This is definitely not Zhou Ming bragging.

Because outside, he plays with the power of space, which is simply too easy.

If you calculate carefully, Zhou Ming in his complete state possesses a lot of spatial power.

The first one, and the earliest one he possessed, was his own eye technique. Now it seems that it was his innate ability as the true savior of the Onion Universe. The second one was Obito's Kamui, and then Sasuke's Sky Hand Power, but the Sky Hand Power was directly merged with his own talent the moment it appeared.

Later on, there are the supernatural powers of the world of Toaru Majutsu no Index, the gate crossing technology of the world of Death, and the teleportation magic of the world of Azeroth.

With all of this combined, teleportation became easier for him than breathing.

The reason why Apparition in the Harry Potter world took a little more effort was, to put it bluntly, mainly because his powers were sealed, so he had to start from scratch. Secondly, he couldn't use Apparition when he was in Hogwarts, and the Anti-Apparition Spell in the castle was a cure for all kinds of disobedience.

Zhou Ming had no intention of challenging the power of the castle, so he originally planned to use this holiday to master this spell.

Now Dumbledore used Apparition in front of him for the second time. The first time was at school. If he couldn't learn it after two such close observations, he would be a real waste.

So, under Dumbledore's expectant gaze, Zhou Ming first gave it a simple try.

But unfortunately, he failed when he used Apparition for the first time. His body just shook slightly and became illusory for a moment, but then returned to its original state.

"What went wrong?"

Dumbledore inquired.

"My intention is a little insufficient. I'm still not used to the spellcasting habits of this world."

In other worlds, there is no such thing as casting spells that must be supported by thoughts. In other worlds, thoughts can only play a certain auxiliary role in activating abilities. However, in the world of Harry Potter, thoughts have become the main driving force.

It's not a big problem though, just a little bit of getting used to it.

The next second, Zhou Ming adjusted his mentality, and then he disappeared from the spot with a bang.

Dumbledore looked at the place where he left, and after a while he retracted his gaze. He took out the Resurrection Stone from his pocket, looked down at it, and a gleam of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

"Ariana..."

He whispered his sister's name.

……

Zhou Ming's life was relatively peaceful for the rest of the holiday.

Dumbledore didn't come to find him again, which meant that he didn't find a new Horcrux during this period. But Zhou Ming was very skeptical. Did he go to look for it? Could he use the Resurrection Stone to resurrect his sister?

Then he will be disappointed, because the Resurrection Stone is simply incapable of resurrecting the dead.

Its true ability is to summon the dead back to the world in a state that is more real than a soul but more illusory than a physical entity, allowing the user to feel the company of their deceased relatives and friends.

But this kind of companionship also comes at a price, because the resurrected person will continue to transmit negative energy to the user. It is difficult to say whether this behavior is intentional or unintentional, but the fact is that the user's emotions will be greatly affected, and then he will become more and more pessimistic about life, and eventually choose to end his own life.

Its first user, the ancestor of the Gaunt family and the second son of the Peverell family, committed suicide because he could not bear the mental pressure.

Zhou Ming was not sure what choice Dumbledore would make, but seeing that he did not die in the original book, it was clear that old Dumbledore was able to clearly recognize the problem.

Including his communication with Harry after his death, it also proved that he was very open-minded about the Death Knight, so he would probably be obsessed for a while, and then quickly react and never use the Resurrection Stone again.

Hermione came back a week later. She had been to France with her parents and she looked a little different.

The changes are primarily cosmetic.

She had her hair done and her teeth fixed, and she looked much fresher and more beautiful.

Even Cynthia looked at her a few more times.

Zhou Ming could guess why she had these changes, but he said nothing and pretended not to understand.

This made Hermione a little unhappy, and she gave him the cold shoulder for the first few days. Fortunately, young people's embarrassment comes and goes quickly, and she returned to normal in a few days.

I can finally concentrate on studying magic.

In order to speed up her progress and prevent the gap between her and himself from getting bigger, Zhou Ming agreed to let Hermione use the crown for the first time.

Of course, the gap between them will gradually widen. Hermione's talent is far inferior to Zhou Ming's, not to mention that he has already experienced many worlds.

But what's wrong with making the little girl happy? Zhou Ming didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

The only one who might be a problem might be Tom.

Although he is very honest now, who can guarantee that he will not have a seizure suddenly? The crown must be worn on the head after all, and Zhou Ming does not want Hermione to be in danger.

So his solution was very simple, which was to completely block Tom.

"This is unfair. You can't convict me for something that hasn't happened yet!"

"This is not a conviction, it's just a precaution."

Zhou Ming said this, then ignored Voldemort and locked him up by force.

With the help of the crown, Hermione's learning progress began to soar.

The greatest effect of the crown is, on the one hand, that it allows the mind to be clearer, and on the other hand, that it speeds up thinking. In fact, neither of these effects is incredible.

But for those who love learning, these two abilities can undoubtedly help them greatly. Secondly, the crown has existed for many years and can still function today, which shows how powerful the magic on it is.

This is also a part worth studying, how to make the power of magic exist for a long time, instead of automatically dissipating after a short time when no one is taking care of it.

While Zhou Ming was helping Hermione with her studies, he was also studying himself. He had recently begun to learn very advanced magical knowledge, such as Horcruxes and the Killing Curse, as well as various black magic that were no longer seen on the market.

These things still exist in the restricted area of ​​Hogwarts. Some of them were specifically requested by him from Dumbledore. The most dangerous books had actually been moved away by Dumbledore a long time ago.

As for white magic, Legilimency and the Patronus Charm were both on the agenda.

He not only had to learn, but also had to figure out the principles behind these spells. If he just wanted to be able to use them, he could do it with almost no effort.

But his fundamental goal is to integrate into this world, rather than just learning a wave of skills and running away, so he needs to better understand the underlying structure of this world.

During this period, Zhou Ming noticed that the newspaper published an article about the Weasley family's trip to Egypt. Of course, the main content had nothing to do with Weasley. It mainly talked about the fact that they won 700 gold Galleons, and the core was the grand prize.

In the photo, the family is smiling happily, and Zhou Ming is also smiling happily.

"Sirius is about to break out of prison."
