Chapter 347: The Secret of Horcrux's Power is More Than Just Resurrection

"Sure! How about after seven days?"

Speaking of adventures, the young witch's death-seeking soul blazed, and she said, "For the first few days of the holiday, I'll be with my parents and have to deal with a whole bunch of relatives ... It'll probably take about seven days for me to have free time."

"No problem," Andy said.

Getting on the train, Andy and Hermione immediately found an unoccupied compartment. After placing their luggage, Andy pulled out his wand and cast a Confundus Charm on the compartment door.

After sitting down, Andy took out a snack and handed it to Hermione, "Seeing how you didn't eat much this morning, do you have a bad appetite?"

"Thanks! I wasn't quite hungry this morning."

Hermione said, "Maybe I'm a little excited about getting to go home."

After a pause, Hermione continued, "Now that we know the address of the Gaunt family's old house, I am just wondering if there are any traps inside?"

Andy smiled confidently at her words, "Don't worry, I can handle those."

This was not Andy being overconfident.

After increasing the [Dark Magic] talent, as well as studying dark magic in-depth, Andy understood the various talents of the system panel extremely thoroughly.

When it comes to learning ability, in fact, you only need to increase some [Thinking] attribute points. When the brain transmits signals quickly and the memory becomes strong, it is natural to learn twice as much with half the effort.

As for the [Charms] talent, and even the [Transfiguration] and [Dark Magic] talents, they all had nothing to do with learning ability.

Just like what was stated before:

Ordinary magic charms are an exploration of the world.

Dark magic is the study of oneself.

These are two very different fields of magic, one outward and one inward.

By adding points to the [Charms] talent, Andy's perception of the world was enhanced.

While adding points to the [Dark Magic] talent was the opposite, what was enhanced was Andy's perception of himself.

With this perception boosted, it would naturally become much easier to learn.

In addition to that, the system talent's improvement might have also strengthened Andy's own adaptability to magic and even other aspects.

It's just that these couldn't be verified for the time being.

In short, the five talents on the left side of the system did not enhance the learning ability, but the talent for that magic discipline.

And with Andy's [Charms] talent being as high as seven points, his perception of the world had reached an extremely high level.

Things like magic traps, magic mechanisms, and the like, Andy only needed to quiet his mind to sense them, and he could detect some traces left behind by the magic power.

If his knowledge base was rich enough, cracking magic traps would be very simple for Andy.

Hermione raised an eyebrow, of course, she believed Andy, so she didn't dwell on this issue, instead, she raised a new doubt, "Andy, I remember you said before that the secret of Voldemort's immortality lies in those dark magic items?"

"It is... What?" Andy asked.

After some thought, Andy suddenly felt that letting Hermione know about the Horcruxes didn't seem like a big deal.

With the young witch's sense of justice, it wasn't like she would actually make Horcruxes.

Besides, even if she made a Horcrux, it wouldn't be a big deal. There were so many bad people in this world, and there would even be an escaped prisoner from Azkaban in a few more months.

Experimenting, making a Horcrux, and exchanging the body for a bounty from the Ministry of Magic ... That's three uses for one person.

"That dark magic item is called a Horcrux."

Andy explained, "To make a Horcrux, you first have to split your soul through killing, then store the soul fragment into an item, and then protect it with special magic."

"In this way, even if the body is destroyed, the person won't really die because there is still a part of their soul left in the world."

"And what's even more terrifying is that because the soul doesn't die, even if the body receives a serious injury, it's only a minor problem for Voldemort."

"Voldemort actually ended up in his current situation because of the destruction of his body."

Hermione: "..."

Just from hearing Andy's explanation, Hermione could imagine how tricky Voldemort was when he was alive.

His soul was immortal!

So no matter how badly the physical body was injured, he could recover through magic.

Even if the physical body died, as long as it wasn't completely destroyed, Voldemort could repair it through magic - he could absorb other people's life force.

NO! Voldemort's physical body might not die at all.

Because the soul doesn't die, Voldemort is essentially immortal no matter what damage is done to his physical body - because all injuries can be repaired with magic.

Unless ...

Completely destroying his physical body!

But Voldemort himself was extremely powerful, so in a normal battle, how hard would it be to destroy his physical body?

"Gulp!"

Hermione swallowed, "He is indeed terrifying ..."

When she said this, Hermione suddenly glanced at Andy with some worry.

It should be recognised that the person in front of her, from the beginning to the end, was pursuing power and immortality. Hermione was a little worried, would Andy also be interested in the Horcrux?

Hermione did not oppose Andy's indulgence in the study of magic, as she also loved magic. As for power and immortality ... Hermione felt that there was nothing wrong with boys being fond of things like these, sword and gun.

But making a Horcrux was a different story.

It sounded very evil, not to mention having to split one's soul through killing.

"Don't look at me like that ..."

Andy laughed and said, "Voldemort and I don't share the same philosophy of magic. By comparison, I think I'm more like Professor Dumbledore, and he thinks so too."

Hermione nodded, "Dumbledore did say that you were a bit like him when he was younger."

What was Dumbledore like when he was younger?

Talented and powerful, obsessed with magic, self-important, looking down on everyone else, but outwardly friendly. Moreover, he cared about his family, had a heart for justice, and was ambitious, but not too ambitious.

Andy continued, "What's more, an ordinary person missing a finger can cause inconvenience in life, let alone splitting a soul."

"I have a higher pursuit of magic, and I can't be bothered to split my own soul."

"So you don't have to worry about that."

Hermione smiled and clucked in some embarrassment, "Andy, I'm sorry ..."

"It's okay!"

Andy smiled, "Anyone who hears about the Horcrux will be worried about this, and this is the main reason why I didn't want to tell you before."

"But now, well ... I don't think you'll make a Horcrux, so it's not a big deal if I tell you."

"Thank you, Andy." The young witch was touched by his words and felt even more guilty inside.

Andy believed her, but she doubted Andy ...

"Mm-hm!"

Andy smiled carelessly, and then asked, "By the way, what did you want to say before?"
