Chapter 1052 The gift from fate has already marked the price
Tom looked at the old man suspiciously, piercingly.
But it's a pity that he didn't see anything with his Legilimency, and his eyes directly penetrated the air.
The old man was clearly standing there, but it seemed that he was not here at all.
If he closed his eyes, Tom might think that he was the only one lying in the reading room of the huge library.
It was the first time he had encountered this strange feeling.
Even when facing Dumbledore directly, he couldn't make him have such an abyss-like illusion.
After a while of contact, Tom can be sure that this strangely dressed wizard is very powerful.
But...is he really Salazar Slytherin - his own ancestor - the Big Four who lived 1000 years ago?
Tom is skeptical.
It wasn't that he didn't believe Slytherin was alive.
Tom believed in immortality more than anyone.
Otherwise, why would he bother to make Horcruxes?
Nicole Flamel also lived for more than 600 years, and Slytherin can live for a thousand years, in Tom's view, it is not surprising at all.
but……
Whether it is the person in front of him is worth thinking about.
After all, when Tom first came into contact with the Targaryen, he also claimed to be Death.
His tone was frighteningly loud, boasting that he was wandering alone in countless years...
what! !
I can't recall it anymore, and when I think that Stark knew the inside story and said those words, a sense of shame arises spontaneously.
Tom feels like a public execution every time he recalls it!
In any case, he had done this kind of thing before, so he was naturally skeptical of the old man's words.
Tom hopes that the old man in front of him is Slytherin?
Of course not.
Yes, he does adore Slytherin.
But this kind of ancestor is only suitable to live in a shrine, to be enshrined high, and to be admired by future generations.
Instead of living until now, she suddenly appeared in front of him and told him:
"Zizhong, I am your ancestor!!"
That wasn't a surprise, it was a fright.
Then again, what does it matter if the person in front of you is real or not?
Didn't Stark also pretend to be fooled and follow the clues to find the Slytherin wand and the prehistoric mystery?
When his vigilance was weakest, he gave a fatal blow!
Although Tom hated Stark, he also learned one thing from him:
Pretend to be cheated, as long as you can make money... Anyway, if you don't take advantage of the advantages, you are a bastard.
Therefore, Tom quickly accepted that he had an extra ancestor.
The person in front of him is Slytherin!Must be too!
At this moment, the room suddenly darkened.
Tom turned his head and looked, and it turned out that the obelisk in the distance had completely dimmed, and it no longer had the brilliance just now.
"Stark got that power?" His tone was full of disappointment.
How high-spirited was Tom when he came to the United States four years ago, and how satisfied was he when he got the Slytherin wand earlier?
Seeing him building a tall building, seeing his building collapse... he was talking about himself!
The old man narrowed his eyes, and he was a little surprised that his mood had not fluctuated for many years.
It wasn't because William took away the prehistoric mysteries, but precisely because he... didn't take it away.
Tom failed in the struggle, this power has fallen into William's hands, and he actually held back?
It was as if Tom had been chasing a peerless beauty for four years, but before he succeeded, William snatched her away.
William took off the other party's clothes, so that the graceful body was completely exposed in front of him... He actually held back, can he not be tempted?
For the first time, things were beyond the old man's expectation.
He snorted, and said coldly in his heart: "No wonder Ravenclaw chose William Stark."
But it doesn't matter, the old man chose the young man in front of him.
No matter how the situation changes, it will not affect his final plan.
The old man calmly took a book from the bookshelf. After he opened it, he lowered his head and sniffed it vigorously. On that vicissitudes old face, there was a mocking smile.
"Don't worry, Tom. William didn't take that power away, it was reserved for my heirs, and he couldn't take it away!
Even if he takes the obelisk, I can teach you myself. "
Tom didn't answer, but raised his head and asked curiously, "Are these Muggle religious books so interesting?"
During this period of time, he saw that the old man had taken a lot of books.
The old man didn't answer, but flipped through the book in his hand, and told a story that he didn't want to do:
“At that time, the prophet Moses led the Hebrew people to migrate from Egypt to the land promised by God—the land of Canaan.
Passing through the Red Sea, he parted the Red Sea, revealing a passage, with the waters making walls on both sides.
The Hebrews were able to cross the sea.
When the Egyptian soldiers pursued into the Red Sea, he closed the sea and drowned the pursuers.
Tom, do you think you can achieve this level with your magic? "
Tom shook his head.
Not to mention him, it is impossible for Dumbledore and Voldemort at his peak to separate the Red Sea in an instant.
That's the sea, not a small ditch like the Thames!
"Moses was adopted by the daughter of Pharaoh Ramses II, so he could enter the Egyptian mystery school and learn the prehistoric mysteries."
The old man raised the Bible in his hand and said:
"Moses also left the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Old Testament."
"You mean to say that Moses wrote the prehistoric mysteries in the Bible?" Tom was surprised. "I thought it was all Muggle fiction."
"Some of the miracles in religious classics are indeed fictitious and exaggerated by later generations, but some are true.
so……"
The old man smiled and read in an aria-like voice:
"Reading the Bible day and night,
You refer to black letters,
I read blank paper.
Nothing more than the case. "
Tom showed greedy eyes, and he asked cautiously: "Aside from the Bible, are there other books?"
The old man made no secrets and said with a smile:
"Prehistoric mysteries are lost all over the world, in the Christian Bible, in the Muslim Koran, in the Jewish Pentateuch, in the Hindu Vedas, in the Taoist Moral In the Bible..."
Tom memorized all the titles of these books in his heart, and was going to go back and read them.
The old man seemed to see through what he was thinking, and said softly:
"That's right, the prehistoric mysteries are sealed in these piles of old papers.
These books have existed for thousands of years, and are the most widely circulated and most published.
But Tom, do you know why these books are available to everyone and so few have access to the prehistoric secrets? "
Tom shook his head.
The old man said meaningfully:
"The original content of these books has been tampered with a lot. Later generations continue to add and modify the content to serve themselves, true and false.
Of course, even with the original manuscript, there are only a few people who can comprehend the true meaning of it.
Only those who are worthy can obtain the prehistoric mysteries.
Are you worthy, Tom? "
Tom was stunned. When he looked at the old man again, the old man was wearing strange decorations from all religions... finally no longer nondescript.
On the contrary, it seemed unfathomable.
Like an abyss!
Tom lowered his head and asked humbly:
"My great ancestor - the king of the snake king - the most powerful existence among the four giants - the eternal master of the snake courtyard - the immortal witch - can you teach me?"
The old man seemed amused by Tom's series of addresses, he laughed and said:
"Of course, child, I came here across the river of time just to wait for you.
You are my chosen one.
But are you ready? "
"What do you need me to do?" Tom lowered his eyelids, more and more humble.
"It's very simple, help me get something from Death."
"You want me to go to Death?" Tom froze.
"Have you never thought of looking for the God of Death?" The old man said with a half-smile:
"Especially after knowing the story of the three brothers and the Deathly Hallows."
"Yes, I really thought about it." Tom said without any concealment: "But to find the god of death, three people need to go together.
They are either related by blood or as close as brothers.But now I am alone, and the conditions are not met. "
"You can take the horcrux on the road, split souls are also eligible." The old man said lightly.
Tom shook his head: "I was originally a Horcrux resurrection.
The current size of my soul is only enough for me to make another Horcrux, otherwise my soul will collapse.
This is only two people.
Of course, I originally found a Horcrux, which is your ring, but Stark took it away. "
Tom's meaning was very clear, and he hoped that the old man would help him get it back.
In fact, Tom originally planned to take the piece of soul to find Death.
When Voldemort was resurrected that year, Wormtail stole a tube of Harry's blood from Tom.
Tom is even going to use this tube of blood to resurrect that piece of soul.
But Stark ruined the plan.
The old man didn't seem to understand what he meant, he said calmly:
"Tom, there's still a piece of soul left.
That year in the secret room, after you were resurrected, you wanted to kill that young man, but the prehistoric mysteries on him rebounded, splitting your very small soul.
That piece of soul was attached to that boy. "
"Harry Potter?!"
"Yes, find him." The old man looked out the window and said, "I will teach you the prehistoric mysteries and give you the power of the obelisk.
I will also guide you and your two lovely companions on the road to find the god of death.
I just want you, after asking for two Deathly Hallows, ask for the third for me. "
Tom's eyes flashed with joy, and he quickly assured: "Of course, I will do it!"
The old man did not speak, this kind of promise meant nothing to him.
He looked at the obelisk, at this time the east was turning white, and the sun shone on it, shining brightly.
The old man thought to himself:
"All the gifts bestowed by fate have already been secretly priced.
Are you ready to meet your destiny, Tom? "
