The Hogwarts book was originally stored in the library's forbidden section.

The exact origin and timing of its collection at Hogwarts is unknown, but it is the only known copy of Secret Arts.

Evan didn't expect that there would be this book in the Black family's collection, which was simply the biggest gain after destroying Voldemort's Horcruxes today.

He had wanted to read this book for a long time, hoping to learn more about Horcruxes.

However, the Hogwarts book had been removed from the library by Dumbledore and could not be found at all.

Although the book had been in the library until now, along with other precious magic books, in a special area, it was not known where it was.

Evan had seen the name of the book in the library's catalog, followed by a small red letter: Warning, this book is extremely dangerous! If you want to borrow it, you need a handwritten approval from the principal in addition to a good reason.

In Aven's opinion, this is almost impossible.

The Headmasters of Hogwarts were all knowledgeable and powerful wizards, and they knew how to do it, and it was impossible for them to allow a young wizard to read such books that were full of the most evil dark arts for no reason.

Unless they've got their heads broken, or they've been cursed by the Imperius curse.

This is also evidenced by the library borrowing records, where the book had been sitting quietly for centuries before Dumbledore hid it, and no student at all but a few professors had touched it. In fact, most young wizards don't even know that there is such a dark magic book in the library.

This continued until more than fifty years ago, when Tom Riddle successfully borrowed the book from the library when he was a student, Voldemort.

Evan didn't know how he did it, or if it was a coincidence that he borrowed the book in the first place, or if he had already gotten a clue.

But there is no doubt that Voldemort obtained detailed Horcrux crafting methods from this book, and he believed that this dark magic could help him achieve the eternal life he dreamed of.

According to the information that Evan had, after knowing how to make a Horcrux and confirming several key issues, Voldemort immediately set about experimenting, splitting his soul by killing, and becoming a monster that would never die.

This is the main reason why Dumbledore has not been able to defeat Voldemort, in his full power, he may be able to defeat Voldemort, but he cannot kill the opponent.

Any effort is in vain until all Horcruxes are destroyed.

What's more, as he grew older, Dumbledore's power was weakening, while Voldemort's strength was increasing day by day.

Dumbledore had apparently noticed signs of an anomaly, and he must have had some suspicion in his mind, though he hadn't been able to confirm it until he saw Tom Riddle's journal last year.

But after becoming the principal, he still removed the book from the forbidden area.

The reason for this, in addition to preventing a second Voldemort just in case, is that the content of this book is really not suitable for young wizards to see.

You must know that as the top black magic book, "Cutting-edge Black Arts Revealed" records many extremely evil forbidden black magic, and Horcruxes are only one of them, and may not even be the most evil.

Evan gently rubbed the book in his hand, determined to open it, and the yellow, crunchy pages made a sparse and unpleasant sound.

The first introduction to the dark magic in "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Dark Magic" is Horcruxes, and at the top of the page is a portrait of a hideous, distorted character, whose soul is being separated, and he seems to be suffering greatly, but with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth.

It can be seen that because of the long-term flipping, compared to the pages in the back, the dozens of pages where the Horcrux was recorded are full of marks and traces of being read. Regulus must have read the book many times, and it was from here that he searched for clues and deduced that Voldemort's locket hidden in the cave was a Horcrux.

Evan flipped through the pages, and the contents of the book were very detailed.

It introduces the Horcrux, the source, principle and production method of this black magic, etc., and there are many test records, as well as what needs to be paid attention to at each step.

The more Evan reads, the more terrifying he feels, the content of this book has gone beyond the scope of "ordinary evil".

The first step in crafting a Horcrux is to split the soul, splitting it by killing or other evil forces.

Then, through a series of very complex steps, the split soul is separated from the main soul.

According to the notes at the bottom of the book, Aven learned that although killing is the easiest way to split the soul, it does not mean that the soul can be split once after committing a murder.

The power required to split a soul is very strong, and this power comes from evil and cruel things, and the key is not to kill, but to be evil enough.

Therefore, splitting the soul through killing is not simply murder.

It also depends on whether the method of murder is evil enough, whether it is cruel enough, and whether the soul of the spellcaster is evil enough. The whole process is very demanding, and as the number of soul splits increases, the level and difficulty of the evil required also increases in a straight line.

Most dark wizards are able to split their souls once, which is already the limit.

No wizard can split himself into more than two parts, creating more than one Horcrux, and the pain is enough for the spellcaster to collapse on his own.

Also, splitting the soul will make the main soul very unstable.

Like Voldemort, splitting his soul many times and successfully crafting multiple Horcruxes is simply impossible in Aven's opinion.

Once the soul is separated, the next step is to choose the right Horcrux and infuse the soul into it.

Any item can be crafted into a Horcrux, but along with the transfer of souls, you also need an extremely powerful spell to protect your Horcrux, as well as enough magic to support the completion of the entire transfer process. This means that even if a dark wizard is evil enough to split his soul, he will not be able to craft a Horcrux without the support of a strong enough force.

The book specifically emphasizes that dark wizards must properly protect their Horcruxes.

The damage to the Horcrux will inevitably affect the main soul, making the already extremely unstable main soul even more fragmented.

The most direct consequence is that the dark wizard loses his mind and gradually goes crazy.

His power will not be affected, on the contrary, because the soul has become evil enough to be more comfortable with the use of dark magic.

In the end, the dark wizard whose Horcrux has been destroyed will be consumed by the dark forces and become a monster that only knows how to kill. (To be continued.) )
