The Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts is always up for business

Hearing Voldemort's continuous burst of magic power under Harry's pursuit, and in the end he was desperate even at the cost of damaging his soul, Dumbledore's face could not help but show a dignified look.

What worries him is not Voldemort's great strength, but what is expressed behind his behavior.

"Well, it seems that Tom left behind more and more secretive hands than I expected. At least the remnant souls he has accumulated over the past ten years are not as important as we thought."

Dumbledore mused, with Voldemort's intellect, it would not be clear that the chance of getting the Philosopher's Stone was very slim at that time. At that time, he still chose to explode the power of the soul at any cost. There were only two reasons.

Either he has the means to restore the power of the soul, which is obviously unlikely, otherwise, Tom's power of the soul will not be the same as it is now in more than ten years.

In that case there is only one answer left.

Originally in Dumbledore's prediction, Voldemort endured humiliation and quietly cultivated his remnant soul in Romania. The accumulated soul power must be very important to him.

Therefore, when calculating Voldemort, the old headmaster just wanted to use the curse to make him suffer for himself, and to alleviate a hidden danger for Hogwarts.

After all, if he was not there, if Voldemort gave up his body, others would hardly be able to harm his remnant soul.

Who would have thought that after knowing that it was difficult to obtain the Sorcerer's Stone, Tom still used up a large part of his soul power accumulated through more than ten years of hard work like a desperate gambler.

Although this made the fruit of victory more fruitful, it did not make the fruit sweeter, but instead gave Dumbledore a faint bad feeling.

Because Voldemort's choice tonight was completely against common sense.

Whether as the mentor who led him into the magic world, or as the leader of the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore knew that Tom's wisdom was by no means inferior to his own.

He also admitted that the former Tom, later Voldemort, and now the lingering and indescribable thing are better than himself in some respects.

Although his excellence has brought pain to the country, even this cannot deny that he is an out-and-out genius, and the twists and turns in his head ensure that Tom has enough time to realize his talent.

Being able to prompt him to make such a decision, it seems that those hard-earned soul powers are not as important to Tom as they imagined.

Reminiscent of the changes in his aura when he had been in contact with Voldemort many times, the old headmaster confirmed his guess even more.

"At least Tom must be sure that even if the power of the soul is seriously lacking, his remnant soul will not die." Aini took the topic, and he naturally knew what Voldemort's real reliance was.

Aini once thought that Dumbledore didn't know about the Horcrux, but as he kept in touch with the old wizard, he felt more and more that nothing could be hidden from the greatest white wizard.

"That's right, and in the mysterious and unpredictable black magic, there are not many people who can do this." Dumbledore pushed his glasses, even he couldn't read Ernie's thoughts, and so could Voldemort .

And what Aini did today also made him very satisfied, it's time for him to know something extra.

Tonight is a test for Ron, a test for Hermione, a test for Harry, and a test for Ernie?

In Hogwarts, not counting those hidden methods, there are not one or two people who can defeat Ernie, and they have spent a considerable period of time in school, and Dumbledore also has a higher degree of trust.

As for the hole cards, which of the senior wizards who are older enough to teach at Hogwarts is the easy one?

Why did you find Aini for such an important task tonight?

He wouldn't foolishly think that his trust in Dumbledore was over the top. You must know that it is easy to destroy trust between people, but it takes a little bit of accumulation over time to establish it, and every decision you make , Every word you say, even an expression, an action, will make you gain or lose points in the hearts of others.

There is no boil in Aini's heart for Dumbledore's test. Without him, he would doubt whether this person who is known as the greatest white wizard in the world is really worthy of his name.

On the contrary, this made Aini feel very comfortable. For him, those trusts that come out of thin air should be vigilant and suspicious.

After all, there is no love without reason in the world, and naturally there will be no trust without reason.

The harvest of zero effort now is likely to be used for something, and will have to be paid back in the future.

And when he delivered his performance and attitude in advance, many things will come naturally.

"Ani, I wonder if you've heard of Haierbo?" Dumbledore asked after a little weighing, his attitude changed slightly from before.

"Of course, it is said that he is the first wizard to breed a basilisk. This is a great move." The old principal's question made Aini heave a sigh of relief, which means that he has initially been on Dumbledore's white list .

If I didn't pay much attention to this half a year ago, I must thank Mr. Voldemort for reminding me that the world I live in now is not the safe and stable country in my previous life.

There, as long as you don’t exceed the red line of the law, you can be willful and live according to your heart’s wishes. It’s nothing more than the difference between a good life and a bad life.

But here, don't say that sometimes you die if you try, and if you don't try, you may not be able to live safely.

The wizarding world is dangerous, and wizards are not harmless creatures.

Although there are laws among wizards, whether it is the magic world or the non-magic world, pure talk is meaningless.

It is also individuals like Dumbledore who stand at the top of the wizarding world who maintain the stability of the entire system from point to point.

Voldemort had taught him to be in awe of these pinnacles of the wizarding world.

What's more, the one in front of him is still the biggest point.

"A basilisk?" Dumbledore choked a little, and it was a typical Scamander answer.

When other people mentioned Haierbo, whoever put the label of evil dark wizard at the top of the list meant that the whole family focused on magical creatures.

"Of course, cultivating basilisks is indeed one of Haierbo's achievements, but more of his achievements are in black magic." Dumbledore echoed Aini, and then turned the conversation to the main topic.

"And Haierbo is also the first known person to successfully create a Horcrux."

"Horcrux? You mean that Tom split his soul, so he is not afraid that the remnant soul will perish?" Aini did not pretend to be ignorant of Horcruxes. It's better to be honest in front of you.

"There is such a possibility, but there is no real evidence. In fact, I have had several speculations before. After all, there are not many ways to keep yourself alive from the death curse."

Dumbledore was also unwilling to draw this conclusion, as it was too difficult to find a Horcrux.
