Chapter 272 Schelling's Weakness
"But that's all." Xie Lin's tone was indifferent and tinged with disdain, "I thought you had some powerful backhand? So it's just a four-headed shadow monster——"
"Shadow demons are formed by necromancy magic to sacrifice captured ghosts. They are the second murder of the dead, so they are regarded as taboos. They are rarely disclosed to the public. They are spread outside, and they are reduced to legendary existences in the eyes of many ordinary wizards..."
"Although they are rare, they are far from being top-secret to me—" Xie Lin continued, "I don't believe you don't know. With the friendship between Eleanor and I, I don't know anything about shadow monsters. What gave you the confidence to think that mere shadow monsters can threaten me?"
"Forget it, you still tell me," Xie Lin said coldly, "Do you have any last words?"
"Last words?" Little Barty couldn't help but laugh, "By your background, your family background, your fame, your strength—"
"You can definitely become a person who disturbs the situation in this era. You can definitely become the leader of our pure-blood family, lead our pure-blood family to glory, and leave a reputation second only to the Dark Lord in the history of wizards. Now—" Little Barty showed a mocking smile, and sneered: "Are you asking me for your last words? You can't kill someone, right?"
There was no expression on Xie Lin's indifferent face, but there was indeed a slight fluctuation in the depths of his eyes.
Little Barty was right. Although in the past, some people died because of his schemes and arrangements, or in battles with him, such as Kingsley Shacklebolt and Gilderoy Lockhart. Strictly speaking, none of them died directly at the hands of Schelling.
"Although I don't want to admit it, what you said is actually true," Xie Lin took a deep breath, "You may think I'm ridiculous, naive, or even unreasonable, but ah—"
"You know, I've never been a person who likes to kill, and I don't even have the ambition to become an eternal figure..." Xie Lin blinked, soothing his dry pupils, and whispering, it seemed that he was speaking to someone who had nothing to do with him, but in fact, it was more like speaking to himself: "The original intention of my pursuit of power is to protect the people around me—"
"If it wasn't because the shadow of the dragon captured Mei...if it wasn't because the Death Eaters intended to start a war, they would drag my family into the quagmire of the war..." Xie Lin raised his head, his eyes sparkled, "I don't bother to care about you and Dumbledore's life and death, we might not even become enemies—"
"But, there was no 'if' in the past..." Schelling's aura suddenly increased, and the texture of the Thestral wand's wooden body faintly emitted a golden light. "The experience of the past few years has made me understand that escaping cannot solve any problems—"
"Whether it's the shadow of the dragon, or you and the Dark Lord," the light of the wand increased little by little, and the dragon's chant sounded like singing and singing in the void, "Today, you are already blocking my way... ..."
Before that, originally, Schelling's original intention of killing Barty Jr. was just to fulfill the promise with old Mr. Barty Crouch——
But now, it has become a test for him to strengthen his heart.
"That's right, if I want to kill the first person in my life today, I want to know his last words." There was no hesitation in Xie Lin's eyes anymore, "I just want to know, what is so good about the Dark Lord, that it is worth giving up your family affection, so that you can be ruthless enough to kill the biological father who raised you... Don't tell me you have never regretted it in your heart?"
"Regret? Hahaha..." Little Batty laughed until tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and he somehow remembered——
The eager look on Dad's face when he first learned to call him Dad...
When he was learning to walk for the first time, he threw himself on the ground, nestled in his father's arms, acting like a baby and screaming in pain...
When he was 11 years old, after so much anticipation, he finally received a letter from an owl announcing that he was going to Hogwarts to go to school. His father touched his head tenderly and said that his son had finally grown up...
Then the scene changed, he made a Ravenclaw girlfriend from a mixed-race family, and when he was severely reprimanded by his father...
He discovered the mystery of black magic, and began to learn black magic secretly. He wanted to find out the reason why black magic increased magic power, and he had a big fight with the old man...
He received the report card from the owl. He had obtained 12 certificates in the OWL exam and was the first in the whole grade. The old man sent a short and perfunctory letter of congratulations with the owl, and left a sentence coldly. He had to work overtime at the Ministry of Magic and had no time to go home to celebrate with him. As a result, he and his mother silently faced a whole table of cold dishes...
He wiped away the tears that had flowed all over his face, and excitedly shouted at Xie Lin with a smile uglier than crying: "I will never regret it, never!"
"I understand..." Xie Lin's Legilimency was fully activated, and he had already understood the cause and effect of Batty's violent emotional changes.
This is a tragic character similar to Draco in the original book, and there is still a trace of kindness in their hearts.However, Draco grew up with love and family affection, which allowed him to be influenced by Dumbledore at the last moment, and the light in his heart defeated the darkness.
And Barty Jr.'s growth process is different from Draco's. He gradually lost his family affection in family disputes again and again, and finally chose to sink into the darkness in his heart.His tears and his cries were nothing but his last struggle before he chose to bow his head to the darkness.Even if things start all over again, he will eventually plunge into darkness—
He is hopeless.
"I can only express sympathy for what happened to you, now—" Xie Lin's eyes were indeed full of sympathy.
"Please go on your way!" Xie Lin raised the wand in his hand, and recited firmly: "Avada——"
"Wait, wait a minute, let's do it slowly," Little Barty could only speak out of breath from the pain, but there was a trace of complacency in his eyes that shouldn't have appeared, "If you really kill me, you will definitely regret it!"
"Have you burned out your brain?" Schelling was a little impatient with this kind of dialogue. Little Barty was seriously injured, and he couldn't even stand up, and he didn't have a wand—his wand had been blown to pieces by himself with the Explosion Curse. Schelling was confident that even if Ollivander took the Elder Wand and shot it himself, it would never be possible to repair it.
As for the four shadow monsters, it is true that the shadow monsters are difficult to entangle in the dark maze.The main reason is that they blend into the darkness and are not easy to detect, and to attack them, they must cast magic aimed at spirit bodies. In addition, they are very good at escaping through walls, and they are like ducks in water in an environment full of trees and walls.
However, shadow monsters can't fly, they don't have the means to leave the ground, and they don't have the means to attack from a distance.Standing in mid-air, Xie Lin has long been invincible.
The Shadow Demon could not pose even the slightest threat to Xie Lin.
Xie Lin didn't intend to waste time listening to his nonsense anymore. He continued to condense all the magic power in his body, trying to complete the release of the Killing Curse, and the end of his wand began to light up with a green light, "—Eating a big melon!"
"Look at this!" Barty Jr. threw a long object, which fell ten feet away from him and rolled on the ground.
Xie Lin's pupils contracted violently, and with a flick of the wand in his hand, a dazzling green light shot into the open space one foot away from little Barty, blasting a big hole.
He recognized the thing.
That's Hermione's wand!
"Hahahahaha..." Little Barty looked at Xie Lin's gloomy face, and he didn't know that his plan had succeeded. He laughed crazily while enduring the pain, "Hahaha...cough, cough..." Excessive laughter pulled his injury, and he spit out a big mouthful of blood again.
"What the lord said is indeed correct..." Little Barty said proudly, "Everyone has a weakness, the only difference is how to find that weakness..."
"Your weakness is that you are too emotional..." Little Batty said with a sneer, "To be honest, if it wasn't for that adult's point, I really wouldn't have thought of this. To be honest—"
"You really don't deserve to be a member of the Malfoy family!" Little Barty said disdainfully: "Whether it's a pure-blood family or an ancient nobleman, which one is not full of blood—killing mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters are just common things, but with you, feelings have actually become your deathbed! This is really... Humph!"
"During Defense Against the Dark Arts class, I've already noticed the unusual relationship between you and that Mudblood... So I specially arranged for you two to be in a group, just to confirm my guess..." Little Barty said with a sneer, "You're fine, you know how to hide your true feelings, I didn't see any obvious clues in you, but—"
"That Mudblood, Miss Granger, hehe," Little Barty grinned and said, "She shows too many flaws. The way she looks at you contains so much emotion, even when I don't use Legilimency at all, I can see it—"
"She likes you, right?" Little Barty shook his head gently, and said, "Although you are superficially indifferent to her, your interaction with her revealed your heart—you never rejected her, and never hurt him! You like her too, right? Hahahahaha!"
Schelling nearly gritted his teeth—
asshole!What the hell is Dumbledore doing!
Why would some students be abducted under his nose, especially those around Harry who received the most attention!
