Chapter 29 The Daughter of Death
The residence of Death is located in the underworld.
Surrounded by water, goose feathers cannot float, reed flowers sink to the bottom, and people cannot die but their souls cannot pass.
The water is called...Styx.
——"History of Human Magic"
Many years after the end of the Wizards War, Hermione Stark, the most prestigious witch in the world, compiled and published her manuscripts according to the will of Bashida Basharat.
This book is known as the most important historical document in the history of wizards... It originated from Hermione who added a volume of "History of Prehistoric Magic" at the end of the book.
The words Death and the Styx have been widely known to wizards since then, rather than being a bedtime story, circulated throughout the world.
But before that, almost few people knew that the Styx really existed.
Then, even fewer wizards who successfully arrived here and found the God of Death successfully.
Standing by the Styx River, even though I firmly believe that I will definitely reach this place, when I truly step into this land, Tom's mood will be instantly excited.
The last wizard who arrived here has been more than two hundred years ago.
If the conditions are more harsh...the wizard who strictly follows the "Three Brothers' Story, Walking the Trial of Death" path...
It also has to be traced back to the Ravenclaw trio.
Tom is the first person in a thousand years.
Thinking of this, Tom was extremely proud.
He is enough to compete with those legends that have left a renowned reputation in the long river of history.
Considering that he will collect the three-piece set of Deathly Hallows by one person and restore his complete body again...
Tom is extremely confident:
What garbage Voldemort, the first Dark King Grindelwald, Dumbledore, Stark...
They will be trampled under his feet and become his stepping stone.
Standing by the river, Tom observed the Styx for a while.
He threw a thick death worm into the water, and a large piece of blood immediately floated on the water, like a huge blooming red lotus.
The water flows are turbid and turbulent, and countless years of resentment of the dead are piled up at the bottom of the river.
No wizard can go down in this river, and there are basically no objects that can float on it.
According to the old man who called himself Slytherin:
There is only one thing in the world that can cross the Styx - the coffin that carried Osiris's corpse.
Tom didn't have this thing, he was ready to go to Egypt to find it.
He also thought about coming here repeatedly in the future, getting bugs and asking for the Death God for the Death Hallows.
God's wool is not plucked in vain.
Since we cannot cross or fly over, we can only build a bridge on the river according to "The Story of the Three Brothers".
Even if you pass the trial of Death, many wizards who come here will be stuck in the last level.
It is too easy for a powerful wizard to build a bridge in the wizard world.
Any one of the deformations can be accomplished.
But in the underworld, the magic of wizards will be limited.
It can be said that wizards who do not have prehistoric mysteries are basically impossible to cross the river.
But for Tom, it was easy... He and the old man learned a lot of prehistoric secrets.
With Tom waved his wand, a bridge appeared on the dangerous water.
Harry looked at Tom's fanatical look and thought it was not good. He was about to escape, but was immediately imprisoned by magic.
Tom dragged Harry and strode towards the middle of the bridge.
The bridge was not long, and he quickly walked into the middle.
It was still daylight, but the sun suddenly dimmed, and a dark red star hung in the sky.
The mist around gathered and dyed red gloomyly.
On the other side of the river,
A person suddenly appeared.
Through the tumbling river, he stood under the dense elderberry and stood opposite Tom.
The wide hood completely covers the entire face, not only can't see the appearance, but also the figure or other characteristics.
It seemed like an empty robe floating in the air.
Tom hesitated for a moment, held his wand back and asked, "Are you the god of death?"
The black-robed wizard was indifferent and just looked down at the three of them.
Tom quickly took out the emerald.
While lurking in the United States, he raised a long-horned water snake.
When it came, Tom killed the long-horned water snake, took off the gem on his forehead, and made it into a Horcrux.
He held the gem and a living eye appeared...the eyes were blinking, and the black and bright were divine.
With Tom's control, the phantom floated out.
He looks exactly like Tom, with dark hair and tall man, but his outline is blurry and it seems that a gust of wind can blow away.
Harry suddenly felt his forehead explode and the scar was burning violently.
He covered his forehead with one hand, and then felt a sound from inside his body to his ears.
There seemed to be a soul in his body.
Harry was so painful that he was about to faint. He suddenly felt frightened because he saw the sound of the thing:
The child was slim in shape, curled up, with rough red skin, and looked like he had been peeled off.
Next to the child, there was a baby lying with blue body and breathing. He had been dead for a long time.
Harry remembered that he had seen these two babies.
Just five years ago, he was caught by Tom in the diary and then endured Avadasauer.
He saw the baby die with his own eyes, and soon another identical existence appeared.
At that time, Harry thought it was just an illusion, but after seeing it again...
At this moment, he became aware of something, as if he had realized something.
That was something he had ignored for many years.
Harry was already in a special state, while Tom looked at Death.
The three soul fragments are all here, satisfying the conditions for the "three brothers".
"Each of you can receive a gift as a reward for arriving here."
Death suddenly spoke, his voice was low, as if he was just talking in Tom's head.
The soul in the gem Horcrux immediately said:
"I want a woman, her name is Elaine..."
As a condition for Slytherin to help him, Tom needed to ask for something for him when he found the god of death.
This is a contract that must be completed, with the constraints of prehistoric mysteries.
So the first of the three death hallows has been booked by Slytherin.
Tom was very curious about what Slytherin would want, but he didn't expect to just want a woman.
The god of death walked to the shore, grabbed a ball of mud beside the Styx, and pinched out a long strip of slender clay man, and threw it to the Horcrux.
Tom controlled Harry again, and said, "I hope I can gather the killed souls."
Death returned to the river, picked up a barrel he used as a chamber pot, and threw it to Harry.
The barrel was swaying, and there was still liquid inside.
Then, Death looked at Tom again and asked him what he wanted.
The third brother in all the stories of the three brothers survived to the end.
This is also the reason why Tom deliberately asked for the Deathly Hallows.
What Tom values most is undoubtedly immortality.
This is his goal that he will never change.
But the Horcrux had major flaws. He thought for a long time and finally looked at the God of Death and said devoutly:
"Death, I want something that I can be resurrected immediately at my best condition even if I am killed, and there will never be any restrictions."
Death stared at Tom with his empty eyes, as if he was reluctant.
Finally, from under the elderberry tree, a triangular urn made of elderberry wrapped in gold inside and outside, and threw it to Tom.
After Tom got it, he knew that the name of this Deathly Hallows was... the Golden Ark.
