Hogwarts Card System

Chapter 358 Let Lucius have a taste of the Cruciatus Curse

Obviously, Voldemort did not find his Horcrux in Borgin's Bock store.

He even used various tortures and Legilimency to search for poor Mr. Bock's memories, but still found nothing.

At this time, Voldemort had a vague feeling that something was wrong - had he been deceived?

With this rubbish level, can he really get his own heavily protected Horcrux?

Have I been fooled?

My Horcrux, my Horcrux!

Although he was tricked, Voldemort still did not let go of the innocent Mr. Burke.

After all, Voldemort never admits that he has wronged others. If he has been wronged, he has been wronged. If the Dark Lord has wronged you, can it be considered wronged? That is testing you!

However, Mr. Bock's plea for mercy caused his own death: "Dark Lord, don't, don't kill me! My father helped you back then!"

These words made Voldemort's face turn gloomy, oh, the expression on that face was really hard to see.

Besides, Voldemort's face was already gloomy before. But now these words made him even more gloomy.

These words undoubtedly reminded Voldemort of his most embarrassing time - the period just after graduation.

If the time in the orphanage was the time that Voldemort least wanted to think of, then the time at Hogwarts was the most pleasant and comfortable time for him.

At that time, he relied on his good looks and high talent to almost unite the Slytherins of several grades of that generation!

The predecessor organization of the Death Eaters was even formed during school. At that time, even Slytherin, who was several years older than him, was impressed by his magic and skills.

The well-deserved little prince of Slytherin.

You know, most of those Slytherin students are descendants of pure-blood families, but they can only bow their arrogant heads to Voldemort respectfully.

How happy and happy Voldemort was at that time!

In the fifth grade, he opened the Chamber of Secrets, and he was even more certain that he was a descendant of Slytherin. He was so proud that it was beyond words!

However, releasing the basilisk and accidentally killing Myrtle also made him uncomfortable.

Originally, Dumbledore disliked Tom because of his first impression in the orphanage. Now he was even more suspicious and kept staring at him.

Although the Chamber of Secrets did not dare to be opened again after that, Senior Tom still sweetly coaxed the whereabouts of the Ravenclaw Diadem from Ms. Helena.

He originally thought that as a descendant of the great Slytherin, he must have come to this world with some kind of destiny, and he must accept everyone's worship.

Until he found out his true life experience - a mixed-race person who used love potions and was basically born in a mystery.

This really broke through his psychological defense.

He killed his grandfather and uncle, his biological father's family, and completely embarked on the path of black magic.

Then, soon after, he graduated.

Greater spiritual pain also came - the beatings from real society.

In the school, he is the best student and the leader of all Slytherins. He is always supported wherever he goes.

As a result, as soon as they graduate, the horses under them will either inherit the family business, or use connections to enter the Ministry of Magic, or find other positions with bright futures...

And what about the little Slytherin prince?

He looked for jobs and ended up working as a clerk at Boginbock's.

If a person is an orphan from a remote town and passes the exams all the way, goes through all the obstacles to enter the highest university, gets the best grades, and becomes the object of praise and admiration by everyone, but after graduation, they call you a question expert and ask you to take off your long gown. How do you feel about delivering food?

Voldemort's pain was a hundred times stronger, after all, he was already dark and twisted enough.

Those former subordinates and followers now have bright futures, can they still associate with a second-hand store clerk?

This is also the reason why the first generation of Death Eaters basically did not follow Voldemort.

When he was at his lowest, they saw him through.

As a result, underneath that kind of awe and fear, there is always a trace of contempt buried deep in my heart.

This is why when it came to the second generation of Death Eaters, Lucius's generation, Voldemort marked them with the Dark Mark so that they couldn't run away!

After experiencing tremendous mental internal friction due to mismatched identities, Voldemort stole the locket, killed Hufflepuff's descendants and took the gold cup, then traveled around the world for ten years, and finally became the ultimate noseless person. form.

His name has also been changed, his appearance has also changed, and everything that made him feel ashamed is gone - start over and become the Dark Lord~

But now that one of the Horcruxes has been lost, this blind second-hand grocery store owner still dares to mention what happened back then?

When he was a store clerk, he often received scoldings and looks from his father. It's just that I subconsciously chose to forget.

But now, you still dare to mention it?

How dare you mention it!

So Mr. Bock died.

After Voldemort killed the owner of Bock's shop, he rubbed his bald head hard, and there was a layer of cold sweat on his forehead that shouldn't have been sweating.

Where did it go? Where did my Horcrux go? who is it? Who is doing this? !

However, he thought of another thing - are my other Horcruxes okay?

Voldemort had five Horcruxes - he didn't know Neville was one too.

Originally, according to his intention, he should get seven Horcruxes. The number 7 is magical~

But after being resurrected by Ryan, he realized that the shortcomings of the Horcrux path were huge.

In the past, Horcruxes were certainly fine. But after coming into contact with the undead magic of other worlds, he discovered that their undead magic had many methods for targeting an incomplete soul like his own.

It used to be that Horcruxes could save lives, but now Horcruxes have become a weak point.

Therefore, he did not continue to separate the sixth Horcrux, which was Nagini.

In fact, because Ryan and Barty found him out of the Albanian forest in advance and resurrected him, he never encountered the devil snake that the poor woman turned into.

Not only did Voldemort not want to continue to separate Horcruxes, but he wanted to take back his own Horcruxes and make up for his soul.

As a result, as soon as I retrieved a ring, I discovered that the locket was missing!

Are the other Horcruxes still there? Is it still safe?

"No, I have to go find Lucius right away!"

Originally, Voldemort should have gone to the sea on the border between England and France to pick up those die-hard fans who had escaped from Azkaban.

But to him, Horcruxes were the most important, and everything else was consumable.

So, he went to Malfoy Manor.

In the middle of the night last night, Lucius suddenly woke up from the pain in his forearm, which was like a burning iron. Then he saw something he never wanted to see in his life - his Dark Mark was actively twisting.

The Dark Lord is back and he's not far away!

In fact, when the Dark Mark appeared in the Qui World Cup last summer, Lucius had some bad premonitions.

But there is no way to avoid this kind of thing.

Not to mention that he had a family, a family, a wife and children, even the Death Eater who faked his own death and became a homeless man for more than ten years was found by Voldemort because of the Dark Mark and was used again. ?

Lucius quickly braced himself and prepared. He only had less than a minute. If he delayed for a long time, he would attract suspicion and punishment.

He briefly recalled the exchange of information with Ted, and then began to seal his memory.

I also learned this technique from Ted.

Voldemort is a master of Legilimency. If you have any hesitation in front of him, he will see the flaw.

Except for Snape, who was also a master of Legilimency and Occlumency, no one could lie or conceal anything in front of Voldemort.

However, Ted, as a psion, can bury a memory so that there will be no loopholes.

Because you are telling the truth until you rediscover this memory.

Even if Voldemort directly searched the memory, he would not be able to find any flaws.

Lucius apparated and appeared on a hillside not far from the manor, where he could overlook his home.

And his master, Voldemort, who was dressed in black robes, had no hair on his face, and didn't even wear shoes, turned his head.

There are no eyebrows, no nose, the color of the pupils is a pale color, the two ears are also a bit pointed, and the hand holding the wand has very long black curved nails, almost like claws.

Voldemort's skin turned pale under the moonlight...

"Dear Master, you are finally back. This is so great!" Lucius was wearing a nightgown and no shoes, as if he had just been woken up.

Of course, in his mind, he had just been awakened by the Dark Mark. Although he was a little scared, he still came to see the Dark Lord immediately.

Voldemort looked at him deeply and found no flaw.

"Lucius, my good servant." Voldemort spoke.

"It's the master."

"I remember that I left a diary with you. Where is it now?"

When it came to Horcruxes, Voldemort really couldn't pretend to be calm and beat up his more capable but cunning subordinate. He got straight to the point.

Then, he noticed sweat on Lucius's forehead.

Lucius had used the Cruciatus Curse on people before, but this was the first time he tried it himself. Not to mention the Dark Lord's Cruciatus Curse.

Three full minutes of the Cruciatus Curse almost sent Lucius away.

Even after stopping the spell for several minutes, he did not recover. He was struggling and twitching on the ground like a fish that landed on the beach.

Voldemort looked in pain, as if he was in more pain than Lucius who was rolling on the ground.

Lucius's explanation did not satisfy him, or no matter what Lucius said, it was useless. His diary fell into Dumbledore's hands!

The locket and diary, both of my lives are gone? !

For Voldemort, who was afraid of death, had a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and made powerful and commemorative items into Horcruxes, this was simply torture!

It was as if someone was stabbing his heart repeatedly with a knife.

He had wanted to kill Lucius directly more than once.

But after all, he is no longer the crazy Voldemort more than ten years ago. He is wearing the Gaunt family resurrection stone ring on his hand, has recovered a piece of his soul, and has regained a lot of sanity.

He endured it, but in the end he didn't kill Lucius.

This humble servant is still useful. Although he doesn't want to admit it, among the Death Eaters under his command, Lucius is the only one who can do it.

Bella can't do it either. Although she is loyal, she still can't get anything done.

Now is the time to employ people, and the Malfoy family also has sufficient financial resources and influence in the wizarding world of Great Britain.

Can't kill yet, wait a minute! Wait a minute!

I will torture this humble servant very well!

The newspapers published the names of the prisoners who escaped from Azkaban, many of whom were familiar.

This made Neville and Harry so angry that their blood boiled up. Many of these names were related to them because they were responsible for killing their fathers and their mothers!

Harley even secretly decided in her heart: If she allowed herself to meet these people, she would not give them the chance to be imprisoned in Azkaban again! Blood debt must be paid with blood!

Ted put down the newspaper and lost himself in thought.

The current situation is that Voldemort has returned.

Not only was he resurrected, but he also recovered the ring and Horcrux, and rescued a group of die-hard Death Eaters.

However, now he is smarter and does not make a grand appearance.

This has led to most people not thinking in this direction. After all, it is not easy to accept that a person who has been dead for more than ten years suddenly comes back to make trouble.

Besides, people like to escape. Even after Voldemort has been dead for so many years, they don't dare to call him by his name.

It would be too difficult to get them to admit that Voldemort was back and had to fight him.

It is human nature to escape.

I'm afraid they will admit that Voldemort is back only when Voldemort is standing in front of them, unable to escape.

Not to mention that Mr. Fudge, the Minister of Magic, is still fanning the flames.

Although the newspaper reports did not name anyone in action, they undoubtedly said that something big had happened at Hogwarts, and that the principal was most responsible. Fudge denied the news of Voldemort's resurrection, claiming that there was no evidence. Now there is only one person claiming that Voldemort has returned - even if this person is Dumbledore, we should not believe it.

There were even vague accusations in the newspapers that Voldemort's return was just an excuse for Dumbledore. He is inseparable from Karkaroff's death!

Not only does this not acknowledge the return of Voldemort, it also vaguely throws dirty water on Dumbledore.

However, Fudge did a great job this time!

The scale is very good, it can be advanced, attacked, retreated or defended, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it!

Fuji didn't even know that he could actually say these words. He was so talented!

Sure enough, everything just follows your heart.

Worrying about this or that makes you feel like a clown.

Fudge's mischievous person this time is simply a man of enlightenment in the dragon field!

Suddenly I realized some survival tips for political creatures.

However, this is Dumbledore's problem after all.

How could he, a centenarian and an evergreen tree in the magical world, be stumped by such a trivial matter?

Ted didn't care about him, but was more concerned about where his Professor Geller had gone?

After the inconclusive battle with Voldemort, Professor Geller disappeared.

What did this first generation Dark Lord do? Is he done with his work at Hogwarts?

However, Ted didn't go into details. After all, if the sky fell, there would be someone tall to hold it up.

As long as he ensures that Dumbledore, the tallest man, does not fall, it is not his turn to worry about other problems.

Although it is a bit cruel to ask Lao Deng to deal with two generations of Dark Lords, it was not his own choice!

These two generations of Dark Lords have a close relationship with him, and it’s hard for others to interfere~

However, Dumbledore obviously didn't want to let Ted take it easy. It may have been the Seven Wizards Tournament that made him realize that the younger generation had grown up and it was time to add more responsibilities.

So after class in the afternoon, he was informed to go to the principal's office.

The principal's office is still the same, and Dumbledore is still the same.

Ted said hello politely and sat across from the desk.

"It was a pity that it should have ended perfectly."

"yes."

"The newspapers are right. I need to take responsibility. After all, I am the Headmaster of Hogwarts."

"You don't have to blame yourself too much."

Ted never got to the point.

Dumbledore couldn't help it. This guy was so slick that he hardly looked like a teenager.

He could only sigh and said: "Karkaroff's unexpected and tragic death was something we did not expect. Now in Durmstrang, people from the International Federation of Wizards are already doing the work..."

Ted nodded.

"Voldemort has returned, and we may not have peace in the days to come. And Gellert... remember, don't be fooled by his illusions of great interests."

Dumbledore also told a lot of information about the current situation, which he had never dared to think of before.

Dumbledore is not someone who is willing to speak his mind to others. He is a centenarian, the greatest white wizard who has experienced two generations of Dark Lords, and countless people around him have died. If you expect him to be someone who can compare his feelings with others, that would be too much. .

But now, he told Ted a lot about the Wizengamot and the National Wizarding Federation, and talked a lot about the reactions of some of his old friends to this incident. Talked about some major international changes.

Ted could clearly feel that he had begun to get deeply involved in the magic world.

And at the end, Dumbledore also told a shocking news: the wand in Voldemort's hand now is the snake wand used by Slytherin!

This wand was brought to North America more than two hundred years ago, where it was transformed into a snake tree with healing properties.

Around this magical tree, a witch and her No-Maj husband established a magic school, Ilvermorny.

As a result, not only was the team sent by Ilvermorny School intercepted by Voldemort, but even the snake tree in their school was taken away by Voldemort.

Now he holds the wand of his Slytherin ancestor.

No wonder he couldn't beat two of them before. Dumbledore had the Elder Wand, and Voldemort had the snake staff!
