Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

In the current timeline, Evan returned to Hogwarts a thousand years ago in the first year and met Slytherin.

But by then, it had been over half a century since Tom Riddle acquired the ring in this small shack and killed his father.

Before Evan returned to a thousand years ago, Slytherin did not know about Voldemort’s appearance, so naturally he would not leave any magic behind.

Therefore, a part of Tom Riddle’s soul would not be split and saved. This was past history. But after Evan returned, everything changed drastically.

Slytherin left behind magic, and this Horcrux became what it was today, which was the future to Evan of that time.

That was how time magic worked, making it impossible to tell where the beginning and the end were.

Past history could be changed into a new future, continuing to influence further, more distant futures.

And this was just the simplest change. If Evan were to get that Time-Turner and constantly travel back and forth in different timelines, with no difference in time between leaving and returning, it would probably become completely indistinguishable.

There would be no way to say which one was the current Evan, which one was the past, and which one was the future. But undoubtedly, every change would have an impact on the timeline.

He was not a Time Titan, so in the end, his existence might even be affected, or he might get lost in the flow of time. Evan dared not think about it further…

He decided that even if he got the Time-Turner, he would use it cautiously, intervening in Time as little as possible.

“It is indeed terrifying, so we should use magic with reverence, especially when wielding powerful forces. We must not lose sight of our original intentions,” said Dumbledore, putting the ring back on his right hand. “Well, Evan, we’ve been delayed here for quite a while, it’s time to set off to meet Caresius!”

Because of Tom Riddle, it was better for Dumbledore to keep the ring for now.

He knew how to deal with the Resurrection Stone and Riddle. He wouldn’t be easily tempted by Riddle, but instead, he could investigate the truth thoroughly.

Riddle said he would prove that he and Voldemort’s souls were not connected. Evan also wanted to see how he would prove it.

Putting aside the ring for now, it seemed that the only Voldemort’s Horcruxes left were Harry, the statue of the evil god and Hufflepuff’s Golden Cup.

Among them, the easiest to deal with was Hufflepuff’s Cup.

It was kept in Bellatrix’s vault in Gringotts. It was almost impossible for her to take out the Golden Cup on her own initiative. It seemed that they would have to make a trip to Gringotts. Although Gringotts was heavily defended, it was nothing for Dumbledore or Evan with their current strength.

The Golden Cup was the easiest; the remaining pieces were very troublesome.

Especially the statue of the evil god; it was not only a Horcrux, but also a huge factor of instability.

So, the most important thing at the moment was still to quickly find the clues left by the Four Founders and resolve the trouble of the evil god.

The top priority was the remnants left by Slytherin in the vampire family, especially where Voldemort obtained the secret of the evil god.

“Well, professor, you said before that Caresius was receiving treatment from Grindelwald?” Evan looked up and asked.

“Vampires are very powerful creatures. Most of their injuries can be recovered by supplementing blood intake, but there is a mysterious magic power in Caresius’s body that affects him. It is a kind of curse related to Death…” said Dumbledore, waving his wand, seemingly signaling, and Fawkes appeared above them. “That curse does not belong to Voldemort, nor does it belong to the evil god. It was left by Gellert in the building of the Hall of Valor.”

“Voldemort got the power left by Grindelwald?”

“No, he merely used the residual power left by him. The flying Valkyries in the hall were part of it,” said Dumbledore. “It is a kind of miraculous power, related to Death…”

This was the second time Dumbledore had said this. The Hall of Valor and the Valkyries themselves were related to Death, souls, and resurrection.

These words were all very sensitive, making people’s minds wander.

But since it was related to Death, Dumbledore had never thought of asking Grindelwald to resurrect his sister.

If there was such a possibility, he would definitely not give up. So, this was enough to show that these powers related to Death were not like the Horcruxes made by Voldemort or the Resurrection Stone, which conquered Death or brought Resurrection, but rather used the power of Death to kill the opponent.

“What are these powers related to Death?” Evan asked, hoping that Dumbledore could make it clearer.

“It is a weapon,” said Dumbledore seriously. “I told you before in Norway that Gellert is not afraid of death like Voldemort, trying to conquer it or escape it. He is not interested in it, or looks down upon it. What he values more is power, strong power. Every research he did was to make himself stronger. He also wanted to obtain the Resurrection Stone, yet not really to resurrect anyone; but to use it to create a large number of Inferi. The same is true for the power we saw in the Hall of Valor. He tried to use those Valkyries to create a powerful army of the dead…”

So, it was this kind of power related to Death, just hearing about it was quite unpleasant.

In order to conquer Death, Voldemort finally turned himself into a greedy monster.

As the Dark Lord, Grindelwald was also a madman, or more completely mad.

He only regarded Death as a weapon to make himself even more powerful, and he hoped to use the power of Death to conquer the world.

Of course, Grindelwald was much easier to deal with than Voldemort.

His mindset required him to ensure he was the strongest. When a wizard stronger than him appeared, like Dumbledore, Grindelwald quickly lost everything, was defeated, and imprisoned, unlike Voldemort, who still had chances to return.

Therefore, in terms of madness and evil, Voldemort and Grindelwald were indistinguishable from each other.

But when it came to being difficult to deal with, Voldemort was far more challenging than his predecessor!

“That was the Gellert of the past. During the years he was imprisoned, he must have repented for his past actions. That’s why he agreed to help me treat Caresius this time,” said Dumbledore. “Well, Evan, hold on tight. We are going to Nurmengard, which is quite a distance from here…”

Nurmengard, founded by Grindelwald, was once his base camp, a dark fortress to imprison his opponents.

After Dumbledore defeated him, it was taken over by the German Ministry of Magic and became a wizarding prison as famous as Azkaban.

Although it was not established for a long time, many extremely vicious prisoners were detained there.

Moreover, the most terrifying thing was the guards of Nurmengard…
