Chapter 536 Reconciliation with Death
"…I'm sorry."
Hearing Dumbledore's apology, Chris, or Tom Riddle, froze, and the terrifying pressure that permeated the office returned to his body as if it had been summoned by its master.
Chris stared at Dumbledore on the recliner in a daze. He wanted to find some clues on Dumbledore's face at this moment, so as to prove that what Dumbledore said just now was just a compromise for the sake of survival.
But unfortunately, even if he had used Legilimency, he could not find any flaws. All the scenes showed that Dumbledore was sincerely apologizing to him.
This made his expression a little moved.
After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and said,
"I forgive you."
"Really?"
Dumbledore's withered face suddenly flushed, and he suddenly raised his body as if he was emitting a last ray of light, and grabbed Chris's arm with his skeleton-like bony hand.
"Really."
Chris said with a smile, and while speaking, he was still gently patting Dumbledore's bony hand, not disdaining the horrible and disgusting black spots on it.
Hearing this, Dumbledore silently opened and closed his mouth, and lay down again as if he had let go of something and said:
"Really? That's good."
Dumbledore's expression was extremely relaxed. What no one knew was that Dumbledore's most concerned student had always been Tom Riddle, also known as Voldemort.
This is a very complicated feeling.
For a long time, Dumbledore felt that the reason why Voldemort became what he is now is entirely because of his own education method. If he could use a more gentle method, Voldemort might not become what he is now.
So when he now knows that Voldemort has forgiven him, he will be so relaxed.
Chris looked at Dumbledore's appearance at the moment, and his heart was also quite touched.
He sighed and said slowly:
"Professor Dumbledore, I have made many mistakes. Some of them seemed very stupid to me, which led to my inability to understand the thoughts of the other me after I was separated from the Horcrux. But after I gradually absorbed the souls in other Horcruxes and became complete, I slowly understood.
That me has always been an enemy of death. In his concept, death is not an invincible existence at all, which makes me arrogant and fearless. However, people cannot be without awe. This will not make people brave, but only make people crazy and stupid!"
Chris became more and more excited as he spoke, and even his expression became ferocious, as if he hated that self.
Seeing this, Dumbledore nodded slightly to show his agreement.
To be honest, Voldemort was indeed a very good child in his youth. This is not only reflected in his magical talent, but also in other aspects, such as his super high emotional intelligence and IQ, as well as his handsome appearance.
With so many advantages, plus the Parseltongue that can prove the purity of his bloodline, it can be said that Voldemort, who just graduated from Hogwarts, can achieve great things whether he chooses to go to the Ministry of Magic or somewhere else.
In time, he can even compete for the position of Minister of Magic. By
that time, although there are undercurrents in private, and all forces will fight for their own interests, the entire Ministry of Magic of Yingguo will still be his on the surface, and he has enough time and strength to fulfill his ideals.
Even Dumbledore once fantasized that if Voldemort had not taken the evil path, he would almost be the best candidate to succeed him as the next headmaster of Hogwarts.
It's a pity that there are so many sunny avenues for him to choose, but he chose the most difficult and twisted one among them-fighting with death!
Because of the fear of death, Voldemort lost his mind in a choice and chose the extremely stupid way of Horcruxes.
But this is just the beginning of everything. After the pain of constantly splitting his soul, Voldemort has completely lost his mind and turned into a moody madman.
Such a madman is doomed to fail!
Dumbledore has also understood the identity of Voldemort who now appears in front of him.
This is probably a soul from a certain Horcrux that has left the Horcrux and possessed Chris. Later, it collected souls from multiple other Horcruxes, and only then did it gain almost complete memory and power.
As for which Horcrux this soul came from,
it must be Riddle's diary.
After all, if it was Voldemort who was dominated by other souls, the first thing he would do would probably be to threaten him to hand over the Elder Wand to him.
Only the youngest Tom would have a little affection for this old man, and only the young Tom would be so naive that he would actually talk to this old man about death!
And what he said was wrong!
You know, they are wizards. Why do wizards have a longer lifespan than Muggles? Isn't this the spoils of their ancestors in the battle with death?
So there is nothing wrong with being an enemy of death. All Voldemort's mistakes are just that he is too stupid!
Thinking of this, Dumbledore's eyes flashed with sarcasm, but it was well concealed by the white film covering his cornea.
Chris was unaware of this and was still in a state of self-intoxication.
"Now I have reconciled with death! This has given me a new life and a greater goal!" Chris bent down and saluted, "Voldemort is dead. Now, please allow me to reintroduce myself! Chris Flint! The current patriarch of the Flint family and the chairman of the Pure Blood Wizards Union!"
Looking at Voldemort over there, Dumbledore's eyes twitched slightly, and he asked with some trembling:
"What do you want to do?"
"Make the world a better place!"
Chris answered without thinking, but this answer made Dumbledore's eyes more gloomy.
It was hard for him to imagine what Voldemort meant by making the world a better place, but based on what he had done in the past, Dumbledore didn't think it would be a good thing.
But he quickly adjusted his mood, put on an excited look, stretched out his hand and said:
"Tom, it's great that you think so! There is an old saying in the East that a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold. I think it fits you just fine!"
Chris also became excited when he heard it, and grabbed Dumbledore's hand and said:
"What you said is so good, and I'm glad that you can finally understand me now!"
Dumbledore nodded excitedly, but then his body collapsed as if he had exhausted all his strength, and he could only pretend to be relieved and looked at Chris and said:
"Then I feel relieved, okay, do it quickly, kill me, and then embark on your new journey."
Chris smiled strangely, grabbed Dumbledore's hand and said:
"I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore, I'm afraid I can't fulfill your wish."
As he spoke, a black light suddenly appeared in Chris's hand, and large amounts of black mist continued to rise from Dumbledore's body and eventually dissipated into the air.
As the black air in his body gradually drained out, Dumbledore's extremely dark arms gradually returned to flesh color, and even his chaotic eyes became much clearer.
Finally, Dumbledore's curse was completely removed.
Chris slowly stood up, looked at Dumbledore, who was breathing much more smoothly on the recliner, and smiled:
"Live well, Professor Dumbledore, and see how I change the world! By the way, remember to read tomorrow's Daily Prophet, there will be a surprise on it." After that
, he didn't see him waving his wand, and Chris's figure slowly became illusory, and finally disappeared completely in the office.
Dumbledore looked at the place where Chris had just stood for a long time without saying a word.
To be honest, he regretted catching Mike now.
He had no trust in Voldemort, who had changed his appearance and became Chris Flint. Besides, some things can't be forgiven just because you have reformed. The things Voldemort did were so cruel that they were infuriating to the point that people and gods were indignant. For such a person, only complete death is his best destination!
If Mike were still here, the combined power of him and Mike should be able to stop the current Voldemort. Unfortunately, Mike is now imprisoned by the Ministry of Magic.
But things are not particularly bad. At least Mike is not dead yet. As long as he can come out safely, with some help from himself, a half-baked Voldemort should still be able to be defeated.
Thinking of this, he suddenly took out a wand from his arms and placed it in front of him. It was the elder wand!
...
The next day, when the new day's Daily Prophet flew into every household with the help of the wings of owl messengers, the entire Yingguo magic world was shocked.
Because every page of it published a piece of news that was enough to shock the entire European magic world.
"The current Yingguo Minister of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour, resigned due to his poor performance in equal rights time! " "
The new Minister of Magic, Chris Flint, took office and announced that he would quell the unstable factors in society in a short time! 》
...
Almost every wizard who saw this Daily Prophet was stunned. They didn't understand why Scrimgeour resigned at this critical moment, and in such a self-deprecating way.
You have to know that the Minister of Magic who resigned will not be able to hold any position in the future, which means that Scrimgeour can only go home to farm in the future.
Generally speaking, this situation only occurs in the loser of the political struggle or those who have made serious mistakes. The most typical example is Fudge, but Scrimgeour obviously does not meet any of these two situations.
This is not the most important thing. After all, since Scrimgeour is no longer the Minister of Magic, he doesn't need so much attention.
But the most incomprehensible thing is that the new Minister of Magic, Chris Flint, is less than 17 years old this year, which means he is not yet an adult!
Such a minor has become the leader of the magic world in Yingguo?
This is simply unbelievable!
The officials of the Ministry of Magic were unwilling at first.
Especially the Auror Office officials who originally belonged to Scrimgeour's faction. It was fine when everyone was trembling with fear and lived a hard life together, but now that the situation is so good and everyone is looking forward to eating meat with you, Scrimgeour, you actually quit like this?
If it was just like this, it would be fine, but now you even got a young boy to ride on everyone's head before leaving?
How can everyone bear this?
For a while, the whole Ministry of Magic was excited.
And in terms of the method of dealing with such problems, the ky method used by these wizards is basically no different from those muggles they look down on, nothing more than holding up signs, bg.
So the wizards who came to the Ministry of Magic to handle business today suffered.
The entire Ministry of Magic was shut down, and they could hardly handle their business. Those who registered for marriage and company registration were better off, anyway, the wizarding world of Yingguo didn't care about auspicious days, so they just had to wait a few days.
But those foreign businessmen who heard that Voldemort had died and rushed to Yingguo to do business were at a loss.
They need to be checked by the International Affairs Department of the Ministry of Magic of the United Kingdom before they can enter the country. Now that the Ministry of Magic is paralyzed, they are locked outside the door and cannot enter!
For a while, a very funny scene appeared in the Ministry of Magic. Almost all the doors of the offices were crowded with people, and a large number of wizards were stranded here waiting to handle business.
But the officials in the office were eating and drinking, and they didn't care about the people outside at all.
It must be said that although this trick is cliché, it is very effective.
In the eyes of those officials, under such pressure, their new minister will soon be unable to withstand the pressure and compromise with them. When that time comes, they can bite off a large piece of meat from the young man.
Everyone is happy! Everyone is happy!
But just when these officials were calculating how to maximize their interests, Chris, who was in the office of the Minister of Magic, didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
At this moment, he was even directing several wizards to decorate his office.
Scrimgeour, a fellow from the military, has no sense of aesthetic taste at all, which makes his office extremely simple. Now Chris needs to transform it back to the luxurious and elegant appearance of Fudge's era.
Seeing Chris's calmness, his assistant's face was filled with despair.
From what he had observed so far, the new Minister of Magic seemed to be a dandy who only cared about pleasure!
With such a Minister of Magic, could this government really be okay?
The assistant expressed deep doubts about this!
"Mr. Minister, this situation has occurred outside, are you?"
After struggling for a long time, the assistant finally decided to fulfill his duties and remind the minister who was much younger than himself.
But in the face of his reminder, Chris shook his head indifferently and said sarcastically:
"They are just some trash, they will soon be unable to make any more trouble."
