Chapter 246 Rebel’s War Letter
The high-pitched roar full of anger can echo in this cave,
But when the echo is transmitted back, it will be so distorted that it sounds like a roar from the abyss.
The house elf-Winky is lying on the ground, not knowing whether she is alive or dead.
There is only one father and son left in the Crouch family, and Barty Crouch Jr. recently regained his mobility with the help of his accomplices and escaped from captivity.
At the same time, together with the Lestrange family, they attacked Barty Crouch Sr. who had just returned home from get off work at the Ministry of Magic in the early hours of one morning, and controlled him with the Imperius Curse.
It is truly a loving father and a filial son, which makes people cry.
Barty Crouch Sr., controlled by the Imperius Curse, still seems to be commuting to and from get off work normally, but his personality has been suppressed.
And the blood of house elves is engraved with loyalty to their master.
Now, Barty Crouch Sr. cannot give orders, then Barty Crouch Jr. is her master,
Therefore, even though he knew that he was aiding evildoers and doing things for Voldemort,
However, Winky, who could not disobey his master's will, drank the potion in the container under the command of Barty Crouch Jr.
But Voldemort, who got the thing in the basin as he wished, seemed to be insulted.
"Damn it! Regulus, you bastard! I will make the Black family pay for it with their lives!"
Voldemort shouted angrily,
Well...although holding his loyal subordinate,
Formerly known as Bellatrix Black,
That is to say, he cannot even release magic in his current state, otherwise the two remaining subordinates will also have to bear the punishment of the [Cruciatus Curse].
This is a cave, located on an isolated island, far away from Hogwarts and the magical world.
Voldemort originally chose to bury a Horcrux here, for which he kidnapped thousands of Muggles and killed them.
And their corpses were made into inferi to guard this place, making them the first line of defense.
And the second line of defense is his proud work.
He poured a potion into the container. Only by drinking the potion that would make life worse than death could he get the Horcrux in the container - the Slytherin Locket.
(Ask about children’s literature)
But after the house elf Winky drank the potion, he felt something was wrong.
The revealed Horcrux did not emit any soul-related fluctuations. The Horcrux was destroyed! ?
No! Got transferred!
Voldemort immediately thought of this. Although they were actively separated, there was a mysterious connection between the Horcrux and its owner.
The Slytherin Locket Horcrux did not die like several others, so he came to this conclusion.
"Little Barty, go and open this locket."
Ordering his loyal subordinates to open the locket, of course, Barty Crouch Jr. also saw the note,
He originally showed himself to be full of sincerity and devoted himself to serving the Dark Lord, but after seeing the content on the note, he walked on thin ice, lowered his head and started to tremble.
"Tell me, what's on the note." Realizing that his Horcrux still existed, Voldemort was in a bad mood, but he was not angry yet.
So he slowly asked Barty Crouch Jr.,
But as one of the most loyal Death Eaters, Barty Jr. also knew very well what kind of person Voldemort was.
Even though it was Voldemort's request, as long as he recited it, he would be greatly remembered in Voldemort's heart.
Therefore, he knelt down without hesitation, raised his hands, and handed the note to Bella,
When Voldemort saw Barty Crouch Jr.'s strange behavior, he had a vague feeling of something bad.
Then he saw the letter, or rather, the letter of challenge, left to him by Regulus Black that Bella presented.
What's ridiculous is that Regulus called him [Dark Lord] in the letter, but he was so dismissive that he didn't leave his full name, just an abbreviation.
This makes the title [Dark Lord] a bit...
If Raven were here, she would tell him that this is called yin and yang.
The wind changed direction and poured into the cave from the entrance,
Blowing across the lake filled with countless inferi,
Bringing up the sound of the wind like a chuckle,
Among the countless Inferi, one of them, a young wizard in elegant robes, relaxed his frown and slightly curved the corners of his mouth, as if mocking the incompetent and furious former idol.
Subsequently, the wizard's inferi was torn apart by the other Muggle inferi, the bones were dismantled, and the flesh and blood were eaten.
After discovering and destroying the bones of Regulus Black, Voldemort softened slightly and gave up his intention to kill Bella.
Although Voldemort wanted to kill Bella at that moment, because Bella was Regulus Black's cousin and had Black's blood flowing in her body.
However, the only ones who were still loyal to him at this moment were the two subordinates in front of him.
Finding the body of Regulus Black gave him a chance to vent his anger and an excuse to keep Bella.
Someone once said that Voldemort was a monster who didn't understand people's hearts. Maybe he was right.
But that refers to Voldemort, who has become a legendary wizard and a rare rival in the wizarding world.
When it comes to the human heart, no one understands it better than Tom Marvolo Riddle.
The ghost Lady Gray who has been wandering for thousands of years,
Empty and proud Hepzibah Smith,
Professor Horace Slughorn, who likes to interact with gifted young people,
They all favored Tom Riddle,
The more Tom understands people's hearts, the more he understands the importance of strength.
The most powerful wizard is the most popular. This is the conclusion he has gained through personal practice over the past many years.
It was precisely because of this that he did not rush to take action against those pure-blood families who betrayed him.
He understands that those people will only surrender to interests and power,
As long as he returns to his peak and kills the Weasley they regard as their new king, those people will return to his feet and lick his boots.
Therefore, the most important thing for Voldemort is to return to his peak state,
Secondly, it is to find another Horcrux to prevent himself from being forgotten again. This is what he gained in the Albanian forest.
