Voldemort: Yesterday's Reappearance

Chapter 36: Voldemort: Yesterday's Reappearance

Basil wasn't just watching others receive packages and letters with envy.

In fact, he was quietly doing something else.

This was something he did every morning.

He held his left hand loosely, and with the help of the faintly appearing Magic Field, the Dragon Knight slowly rotated.

In fact, Basil discovered that as the Magic Power in his personal status bar transformed into attack power and the Magic Field began to rotate, his mental strength was also slowly penetrating the quasi-material Magic Field.

In Professor Flitwick's words from Charms class, in this state, his Magic Field could resist spells infused with mental strength.

That is, advanced spells.

The attack power represented by his unique skill in this world, [Basic Attack], also possessed the properties of advanced spells.

Without time to cast a defensive spell and having to dodge through various means, ordinary wizards could only endure with their health points around 10.

With the enhancement from the Grimoire, his attack power was currently 16.

For Basil, [Basic Attack] only required him to wave his wand.

As long as his arm didn't get tired, he could keep going.

"Basil, your package." Hermione's voice made Basil, who was immersed in his training, look up.

A drab-looking owl was indeed flying towards him.

The package tied to its leg was a square box, judging by its shape.

The moment his hand touched the box.

[Ding dong! Congratulations to the player for obtaining 10000 Gems!]

"Ten thousand? When did the plot change again?"

"That's almost thirty thousand now!"

Basil forced himself to remain calm.

In front of Hermione, Harry, and the others who had gathered around, he opened it.

It was a silver-white book.

He examined it closely; the cover was woven from the tail hairs of a silver-white unicorn, emitting a sacred Magic Field.

The content inside was blank.

Tucked within was a note, written in a slender, looping script:

[Your father left this for me before he died. It should be returned to you now. Use it well.]

"You still have unicorn tail hair?"

"To make a cover out of it?"

"That's truly extravagant."

"Do you really still need us to sell your Gillyweed extract?"

Fred and George walked over, scrutinizing the book in Basil's hand.

"That's his father's memento!" Ron whispered into his brothers' ears, "Also, if you have a way to get rich, why don't you include me? I'm your brother!"

Ron and the twins engaged in a heated whispered conversation.

Hermione, meanwhile, looked at Basil with concern.

As if he were something precious and fragile.

Basil laughed heartily, "I'm not that fragile."

Besides, this might not even be his father's memento.

He, who had just been in the state of his Magic Field rotating, distinctly sensed a very hidden, cold, and evil Magic Field within this sacred one.

He was so familiar with this Magic Field, just as it was hidden beneath the wise, wind-like Magic Field of Ravenclaw's diadem.

Moreover, 10,000 Gems must be a key plot item.

Undoubtedly.

It was a Horcrux, and Voldemort's Horcrux at that.

Given that the deflection in this world pointed towards him.

The only connection was him killing Fenrir.

Basil didn't have time to thank Fenrir before immediately contemplating the matter.

Was Lucius Malfoy targeting him again?

Why?

He connected everything: the Malfoy family's sealed shops mentioned by Ron, their lost board seats, and Draco Malfoy's recent hardships.

To retaliate against Dumbledore, display the Malfoy family's power, get rid of Dark Magic items, and take his anger out on him in the process.

This owl is probably a one-time use.

The circular font was probably also copied from Dumbledore.

The cover was likely added by Lucius Malfoy for insurance, to ensure it was smoothly delivered to Hogwarts.

Thinking this, he quickly opened the first page, but TM Riddle's name wasn't there.

Impossible?

His twin's sister had a movie replica of it in her bedroom.

She liked it a lot, making him wear a Slytherin robe and call her "Lord Riddle."

He knew that book as well as he knew which part of her body had a mole.

Is it different in the novel?

Or is it because the unicorn tail hair on the cover's surface suppressed it?

"Stop complaining that you're fine," Hermione said, looking at Basil's furrowed brow with concern.

Basil took Hermione's right hand.

After sacrificing a bit of his charm, Hermione quieted down.

Basil could finally do his own thing.

He blinked his eyes.

[Obtained photo of "Horcrux: The Diary." Do you want to spend 3000 Gems to create a summon card?]

As expected, it's not crowned because the main body is just an ordinary diary!

"A crown costs 10,000!"

"Yes!"

Gems: 29538.289 (-3000)

[Horcrux: The Diary]

[Magic Consumption: 7]

[Summons a diary sealed with a unicorn hair cover. Inject 100 Vitality to summon "Voldemort: Yesterday's Reappearance." Ignores damage below 50.]

[Shedding the Cover: Can bind enemy units, cannot be discarded. Only requires 90 Vitality to summon "Voldemort: Yesterday's Reappearance." Injecting liquid allows for conversation with "Voldemort: Yesterday's Reappearance" and entry into his memories. If trust has been established with an enemy unit, it can actively absorb the enemy unit's Vitality and temporarily possess their body. The duration of possession is determined by the enemy unit's willpower and the strength of their trust.]

[Weakness: Holy Magic]

[Vitality: 100]

[Voldemort: Yesterday's Reappearance]

[Vitality: 0.1~90]

[Note: As long as the diary is not destroyed, Vitality will not drop to 0.]

[Magic: 7]

[Family Traits: Parseltongue (Awakened), Proficiency in Dark Arts - Strong (Awakened)]

"Now, the experience bar for the Level 3 [Grimoire] has reached 200."

"Strong? This level of Proficiency in Dark Arts talent? As expected of the Dark Lord, even in his youth."

"No Luck stat? Not considered a player unit?"

"But, most importantly, Voldemort's knowledge base has opened up to me!"

"It seems that what can destroy Horcruxes isn't necessarily Fiendfyre, basilisk fangs, or the Sword of Gryffindor enhanced by basilisk venom. Instantaneous damage greater than 50 also works."

"The diary does no damage in its normal state? In the movie, Ginny established trust with the diary at the beginning of the school year and kept it until the end, almost a year."

"Let's count it as a year."

"90 Vitality, divided by 365, is approximately 0.2."

"Only 0.2 damage per day, that's ridiculous."

Basil was speechless.

Beside him, Neville was showing off his newly acquired memory orb.

Everyone's gaze shifted over.

Basil took the opportunity to swap spaces, and the diary in his hand appeared in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

In the hole of the Slytherin statue's mouth, on the bookshelf that Harry hadn't stepped on in the original plot and that the basilisk couldn't reach, it was now empty.

A page of the [Grimoire] lit up, and a new diary appeared in his empty hands.

With a thought, the holy magic of the cover faded.

The words T M. Riddle began to appear on the first page of the diary.

The vitality from the "Fenrir Wolf" echo poured madly into the diary.

When the false vitality dropped to 52.347, on the data panel of [Horcrux: The Diary] within the [Grimoire], Voldemort: Yesterday's Reappearance, which was in silver text, turned golden.

Youthful Voldemort get!

Thanks, Fenrir! (ω)
