Chapter 420 Ravenclaw's New Partner
Seeing that Astoria's mentality had returned to normal, Rice continued to analyze the pros and cons of this experiment for her.
"I suggest you think carefully before answering. Don't rush to agree to me. This experiment may be very dangerous." Rice said seriously, "Because even I can't predict what will happen after you drink my blood."
Astoria did not hesitate and immediately expressed her willingness to be Rice's experimental subject.
"You've never hurt us, so I trust you." Astoria's words made Les fall into silence for a moment.
"It's different. After you drink my blood, there's no turning back. I'm sure you only have a slight desire for blood now, but after you really drink it, you may not be able to live without it." Les hesitated for a rare moment. Astoria's trust made him feel constrained.
He even felt a little regretful now, why Astoria was not an enemy like Aries, so that he would not have any burden when doing experiments.
"It's nothing. The Greengrass family is big and powerful. It's no problem for them to get some blood to support me." Astoria's tone was full of pride. "Besides, you gave me this life. For me, every day I live is a profit."
Seeing that Les was still thinking, Astoria added: "You said that I only have a slight desire for blood now, but can you guarantee that this desire will not become stronger in the future? Rather than being unable to resist sucking unclean blood in the future, it is better to use yours from today."
"Okay." Les no longer hesitated and cut a cut on his palm.
Blood flowed out of the wound, but before it fell to the ground, Rice controlled it to gather together and form bright red beads like grapes.
Rice taped the beads together so that they actually looked like a bunch of grapes.
"I thought you would let me come close to you and suck it." Astoria did not hide the regret and desire in her eyes at all, and Les smiled and shook his head.
"Be decent, Astoria." He handed the blood grapes to Astoria.
Astoria picked up the "grapes" and put them into her mouth one by one. The "grapes" turned into a pool of juice as soon as they entered her mouth, and the rich smell of blood immediately filled the girl's mouth.
But Astoria didn't feel anything strange, instead she felt like she had eaten a supreme delicacy. The surging magic power contained in her blood relieved the hunger in her stomach.
Astoria increased the speed of her eating, but her movements were still graceful, and there was not even a trace of blood at the corners of her mouth.
After eating the blood grapes, the girl's face became rosy again.
Les looked at her expectantly.
“Did you feel anything different?”
Astoria was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook her head. She did not notice any obvious changes. If she had to find something to say, it was that she felt warm in her stomach, just like drinking some hot water.
"Wait!" The girl finally found the difference before and after: she found that her control over blood seemed to have improved.
"So your control over the realm has increased?"
Astoria nodded.
"That's not bad." Rice is very satisfied with the current situation. He knows there may be changes later, but the effect will not be immediate.
"Okay, we should go out now. Your sister will be worried if we don't." As he said that, Les turned around and opened the door of the tent.
When Daphne saw the two people coming out of the tent, she was stunned at first, and then her eyes were fixed on the ruby necklace around her sister's neck.
"Astoria has also stepped into the threshold of the field." Les quietly told Daphne the good news.
"That's great!" Daphne's face also showed some joy, and she was obviously happy for her sister's progress.
"It's blood." Astoria also briefly introduced her field, and Daphne was surprised.
"So you got the idea from last night?"
"Correct."
"That's great - breakfast is ready, would you like some?"
Although Astoria was not very hungry at the moment, she still took some garlic bread and grilled sausages to eat.
The atmosphere in the camp was full of joy. Voldemort, who had suddenly returned last night, seemed to have never existed and did not bring too much pressure to anyone.
After all, as soon as he appeared on the scene this time, he was beaten up by the mysterious visitor and fled in panic. As a result, much of his previously accumulated power was dissipated.
Take his Death Eater servants for example, they gathered together to discuss future countermeasures on the night of the incident. No one proposed to take the initiative to find their master, everyone could see that the moment of the master's comeback was fading, and no one wanted to take a huge risk to stand on the side.
While everyone was enjoying a sumptuous breakfast together, Rice sat next to Aries - they had previously explained to others that Aries was their new friend, so on the surface she was treated the same as everyone else and had a share of breakfast as usual.
Seeing Les coming over, Aries immediately put down the plate in his hand and looked at the young wizard quietly with uneasy eyes.
She knew that the young man in front of her was the leader of the group of young wizards. The two silver-haired witches obeyed his orders. The curly-haired little witch could even directly summon the phantom of this person from her domain. It was obvious that she was also from his faction.
His own destiny is largely in his hands.
"I have a lot of information about the Secret Order..." Aries whispered.
Rice waved her hand. Most of the information she had was of no value, but it wouldn't be a waste of time to listen to it.
"Do you know the location of the secret order's headquarters?"
Aries was stunned and shook his head. The location of the headquarters of the secret society was very mysterious, and even monks of their level did not know it. Every time the North Star held a meeting, it was in the form of a portkey, and they had no idea where the meeting place was.
"Then I don't have anything to ask. Let's eat first." Rice signaled Aries not to be so nervous and to fill his stomach first.
After Aries had finished all the food on his plate, Rice told him what he was going to do with Aries.
"I'm going to take you to the care of a friend of mine, and I hope you can be reborn there."
The friend that Les mentioned was naturally Rowena in the dungeon. He would hand Aries to Rowena and let Rowena take care of her, or use her.
It depends on what Rowena thinks. At least it can help her relieve her boredom and prevent her from being too bored.
This was also Rice's punishment for Aries. As someone who had seriously injured Astoria, it was impossible for him to hand her over to Dumbledore or the Ministry of Magic.
Aries didn't know the ins and outs of this, and nodded happily. She could almost smell the scent of freedom.
