Although the Resurrection Stone has many uses for Alaric, its immediate priority is to gather intelligence.
Through continuous attempts, Alaric discovers that the souls resurrected by the Resurrection Stone retain their full memories from their previous lives.
Moreover, since these souls undergo significant changes in personality after resurrection, they usually do not cling to their former beliefs, showing indifference to the world of the living and focusing solely on their pursuit of death.
This means that even if Alaric resurrects Voldemort's most loyal followers, they are unlikely to remain intensely loyal to him.
Regardless of how devoted they were in life, after being resurrected, a bit of manipulation from Alaric's side can lead him to obtain complete intelligence from these souls.
However, the Resurrection Stone is not without its limitations.
Just as Alaric understands the limitations of other dimensions, the limitation of the Resurrection Stone lies in the "coordinates" of the resurrected soul.
These "coordinates" are not the usual kind but relate to the memories of the soul in question.
To traverse or summon, Alaric must rely on his own memories of works related to the target dimension, as these works come from cross-dimensional projections of the dimension's information.
In simpler terms, these works contain the "existence" of the dimension, which Alaric has recorded in his memory.
Similarly, the "coordinates" for resurrecting souls with the Resurrection Stone come from the "existence" of those souls, and only memories from individuals who have had direct contact with the target soul will contain this "existence."
The conclusion is: Alaric can only travel to dimensions depicted in works he has seen.
Likewise, the Resurrection Stone can only resurrect people from the user's memories.
Moreover, the limitations of the Resurrection Stone are even more pronounced because it can only resurrect individuals with whom the user has had actual contact and communication.
Memories obtained from photos, portraits, rumors, and so on are ineffective.
This indirectly illustrates a certain principle.
A person dies three times in their lifetime.
The first time is when their heart stops beating, which means, from a biological perspective, they are dead.
The second time is at their funeral, where those who knew them come to mourn, marking the end of their social presence.
The third time is when the last person who remembers them dies; then they are truly gone.
Thus, it becomes entirely impossible for Alaric and his team to rely on unlimited resurrection for gathering intelligence.
However, they have another method.
If they want to resurrect someone they don't know, they can have someone who knows the target person perform the resurrection steps, which would also provide intelligence.
In the end, they just need to use the Obliviate spell to forget the information.
Through further research on Voldemort, they gradually have clues about the search for the next Horcrux.
It is well known that Voldemort split his soul by committing murder with the Killing Curse.
The self-important Voldemort had a sense of ritual about him. Just as he insisted on using Hogwarts founders' relics as his Horcruxes, he also sought out certain special targets for splitting his soul and creating Horcruxes.
For example, his father, a Muggle, Tom Riddle Sr.
He created the Horcrux Marvolo Gaunt's Ring by murdering the Riddle family.
Looking at Voldemort's enemies and important people throughout his life, one cannot overlook the orphanage where Voldemort grew up.
The same orphanage where Alaric spent ten years, the Wool's Orphanage.
Alaric believes there could be something to discover there.
— This is of course, as it was mentioned in the original work.
So, Alaric, along with Hermione and Fleur, returned to the Wool's Orphanage and found Mrs. Garry, who had taken care of him for ten years.
At this point, the Wool's Orphanage had undergone a significant transformation since Alaric had left.
It was no longer dilapidated and cramped, nor a remote, neglected small orphanage.
On the contrary, it had become the largest and best-equipped orphanage in London.
After making a significant fortune from the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the pound crisis, Alaric donated a large sum to the Wool's Orphanage and completely renovated it.
Mrs. Garry had also been promoted from the head of a small orphanage to the director of London's famous orphanage.
This also settled his previous sentiments.
However, this time, they were here to investigate Voldemort's past.
Fortunately, Mrs. Garry had grown up in this orphanage and happened to know the young Voldemort.
Through Mrs. Garry, Alaric summoned the young Voldemort's former orphanage head, Mrs. Cole, and several of Voldemort's childhood friends.
From the memories of these resurrected souls, they gained an understanding of Voldemort's childhood.
In fact, Voldemort had already noticed his unique abilities compared to other children at a young age.
However, unlike other young wizards, he had excellent control over his abilities.
He could move objects with his mind, make them float to any position, make animals and creatures obey his commands, speak Parseltongue, and use his abilities to injure other orphans.
After a quarrel with another orphan named Billy Stubbs, he used his power to hang the boy's rabbit from the rafters.
Another time, he took Dennis Bishop and Amy Benson into a cave, where Voldemort did something so terrifying that the two orphans were later too scared to say anything.
However, through the souls of Dennis and Amy, they learned that these unfortunate children had become experimental subjects for the young Voldemort.
Young Voldemort also stole things from other orphans and kept them as trophies in his wardrobe.
Eventually, Dennis and Amy revealed that they had died at Voldemort's hands—though the reason remained unclear, they had not been in contact with Voldemort after reaching adulthood.
But Hermione and Fleur immediately understood the reason for these inexplicable murders—Voldemort was creating another Horcrux.
Given Voldemort's nature, he would certainly hide the Horcrux with someone important or in a significant location from his memories.
The only two places linked to both Voldemort and these two childhood friends were the orphanage and the cave.
However, since the orphanage is frequently visited, if the Horcrux were hidden there, Voldemort would not have set any traps.
Because if a Muggle accidentally triggered a trap, it could attract the Ministry of Magic's attention and easily expose the Horcrux.
Thus, the only remaining option is the cave Voldemort visited during his childhood.
