Chapter 218 Convincing Lucius
Invisible black mist emerged from the ring and lurked into Malfoy's body unknowingly.
In the empty school infirmary, Malfoy, who had been bewitched, stared at the ring on the cabinet.
Now his brain seemed to be buzzing, and countless complicated thoughts continued to oppress him.
I don't know how long this state lasted...
It wasn't until the door of the school infirmary was opened that his two younger brothers, Goyle and Crabbe, ran over chattering.
Malfoy came to his senses and grabbed the ring from the cabinet and put it away.
Then, he pulled the quilt away with force, turned over and covered himself, not wanting to pay attention to them.
After sensing that the ring had been put away, Wright began to retreat and conduct research.
Time flies, and soon it is the weekend before Christmas again.
Malfoy, with slightly darkened eyes, packed the ring delivered by Wright.
He and his brothers came to Hogsmeade Village and sent them all to the candy house.
I entrusted this gift to the owls here and asked them to send it back.
After arranging the destination of the gifts, Malfoy stood at the door of the candy store with a lot of thoughts in his mind, waiting for his younger brothers.
……
Malfoy didn't have to wait long at King's Cross Station before Lucius, a man with long hair, a stern face and a snake-headed staff, appeared.
Lucius didn't want to talk in order to maintain his decency.
Malfoy seemed to have forgotten something and couldn't say the words.
Therefore! On the way back, neither of them spoke.
Christmas at Malfoy Manor was not very lively, but it was still decorated very gorgeously.
There are two tall Christmas trees clearly placed in the hall, decorated with various small ornaments.
On Christmas Day, in the Chamber of Secrets work area in Hogwarts Castle.
The pure white maze gem was suspended in the air, and the light it emitted dimly constructed the illusory Malfoy Manor.
Countless nightmare black fogs followed the coordinates of the ring, ready to cross the vast distance and descend directly.
Several birds of light fluttered in the illusory manor, assisting Wright in completing this incredible task.
The moment the ring is touched, a huge amount of black fog will appear at the coordinate point along the set space channel.
At Malfoy Manor, Lucius came to the study early and opened the gifts sent by others.
"The dragon blood sent by the Tonks family, the complete collection of dark magic props sent by the Borgin family..."
Just as Lucius took out a ring from the gift box, the lights in the house suddenly flickered a few times.
He immediately realized something was wrong and quickly threw the ring into the air and dodged backwards.
The ring was thrown into the air, and thick black fog continued to pour out, soon covering the entire study.
Then, the black fog condensed directly in the air, and in a trance, it turned into a human figure that frightened Lucius to the point of almost losing control.
As he hurriedly tried to escape from the study, the next second, a desperate feeling of suffocation came from his neck.
At the same time, he could also feel his vitality slipping away.
During this process, Lucius, whose vision went black due to difficulty breathing, continued to struggle and scratched his neck frantically.
But the black mist wrapped around his neck seemed to be growing on his neck.
It couldn't be shaken at all, and was even shrinking.
Life and air disappeared at the same time, Lucius' hands dropped and he gradually stopped struggling.
In the revolving lantern of death, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was dominated and enslaved.
Just when he was about to lose consciousness completely, the feeling of suffocation suddenly faded away. After recovering, he greedily breathed in the fresh air.
Lucius was lying on the ground, covering his neck in fear and gasping for breath.
Before he could recover, he immediately prostrated himself at the feet of the black shadow floating in the air and said humbly:
"Great Dark Lord! Please forgive your loyal servant."
The figure condensed from the nightmare black fog looked at Lucius who was lying on the ground, not daring to move.
Then it began to fluctuate again, and after the figure turned back into Wright's appearance, he said lightly:
"Stand up, I am not your master! And you are not worthy of me to play him."
Lucius, crawling on the ground, heard Wright's abnormally young voice.
There seemed to be a hint of realization in his disbelief, and he looked up quietly.
When he found that it was indeed not the person he was really afraid of, he breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the ground trembling.
Seeing the person in front of you, even if it is not the one you fear.
Lucius did not scream hysterically like ordinary people.
He didn't even dare to speak, he just stood there with his head down, anxiously waiting for instructions at any time.
Seeing his panic, Wright knew that this was the way to survive in front of Voldemort, so he was too lazy to correct him and said directly:
"I'm here on behalf of Dumbledore! You should know what I want."
Lucius' pupils shrank and he instinctively turned around and wanted to run, but his legs were nailed to the ground and completely ignored his instructions.
"Stop what you are doing! My black mist has already corroded your body. It is no longer under your control."
Hearing Wright's voice, he instinctively stopped all movements and calmed down after panting for a long time.
Lucius, who was very self-aware, kept a low profile and asked in a humble tone:
"I don't know, what do you want me to do?"
After taking a good look at Lucius, who was so tactful, Wright smiled with satisfaction and said softly:
"I want you to hold a party and invite all the purebloods you can contact!"
"Next, bring your son out to greet Dumbledore in front of everyone's eyes, and your mission will be accomplished."
As a smart man who was able to escape unscathed from the Ministry of Magic's liquidation, he immediately understood what Wright meant.
Dumbledore wanted to use his connections to send a signal to the pure-bloods that they were willing to cooperate.
Lucius's expression kept changing. Finally, he mustered up the courage to raise his head, looked at Wright and said nervously:
"I can do whatever you say!"
"But... my child Draco, I hope... I hope... you can let him go!"
"Let it go?"
"You seem to have made a mistake! I'm a very lazy person. I prefer using magic rather than using my brain."
As he spoke, Black Mist Wright grasped the ring and took back the black mist that filled the entire study.
The illusory figure in the air played with the ring and said with a smile:
"Lucius, do you know the benefits of focusing on magic?"
“It can make things I don’t want disappear, and it can also make things I want happen immediately.”
Light slowly floated towards the silent Lucius and dropped the ring at his feet.
"It can save your life if you need it! Including from Voldemort..."
"Besides! You don't have to worry about your child. As long as Dumbledore is here, he will be protected."
"Understood?"
