Chapter 154 The Blood of the Enemy
Cyrus put down the book in his hand. This book was not a fake, but it did not record anything about ancient magic.
"I think so. None of the guardians have passed the test yet. They can't just hand over the ancient magic to me directly."
However, although the book did not record any content about ancient magic, it pointed to a secret room under Hogwarts, and the test of the four guardians also began from there.
In addition, there is a memory left in the book. - A memory about Morgana, a transfer student at Hogwarts.
There is actually nothing worth mentioning about this part of the memory.
Cyrus probably also knew that the girl named Morgana, who was able to see the echo of ancient magic, was probably on the wrong path in the end. It was probably because of this that the four guardians set up the test to select a truly qualified heir.
However...
"Although I only played the beginning of the game, I have also watched some clips. Legacy seems to have a dark wizard ending, right?"
Cyrus raised his lips and revealed a sarcasm: "It seems that the test left by the four guardians is useless."
How could four ghosts who have been dead for hundreds of years be qualified to test whether a life's true soul is noble?
Morgana is like this, and the protagonist of Legacy has to pass a cigarette to Voldemort when he meets him.
Cyrus does not think he is a good person, but at least he does not intend to intimidate the world with force, let alone take pleasure in killing. Although he also intends to break the Statute of Secrecy, he does not think it is a wrong thing.
Some things can only be truly distinguished from the right and wrong by transcending the current era.
But it is too early to say these now. Without sufficient strength, even the idea of breaking the Statute of Secrecy is just a fantasy. Grindelwald failed with the Elder Wand, and Cyrus' current strength is far from enough.
Moreover, it is not just personal power, he also needs a group of real followers, just like Grindelwald's saints.
Even in the wizarding world where individual power is strong, the power of the masses cannot be ignored. He can't be an enemy of the whole world and kill all wizards, right? If so, there is no need to break the Statute of Secrecy, since all wizards have been killed anyway.
"Let's completely wipe out Voldemort's soul first!"
Holding the magic book in his hand, Cyrus was not worried that Voldemort would come in front of him again. Now he has enough time to solve his own troubles.
And this time, it was almost Christmas.
——
It snowed heavily at Hogwarts the day before the Christmas holiday.
This holiday, Harry still had to stay in Hogwarts. He did mention to Sirius that he wanted to spend Christmas with him, but Sirius looked a little ugly at the time, as if he had thought of something, and still refused Harry.
In fact, he was worried about the mess in the house at 12 Grimmauld Place. The Black family sounded impressive, but in fact it was already a mess. In fact, even he himself had never thought of going back to the shabby house that could hardly be called a "home".
But now he remembered that he could take time to take care of it, so that Harry could spend the summer vacation with him, and he could talk to Harry about James' past and talk all night...
But that would have to wait until later.
"It's okay, Harry, I'll go with you." Ron patted Harry's shoulder, "Anyway, I think it's the same everywhere, and at least in Hogwarts I don't have to eat my mother's corned beef."
Harry immediately responded with a grateful smile. In fact, Ron hadn't been home for Christmas for several years.
"What do you think Riddle will give us this year?" Ron said with some anticipation.
Generally speaking, Ron can only receive gifts from his parents, Harry and Hermione on Christmas. Mrs. Weasley's gifts have never changed, all of which are some fudge and a new sweater. Harry and him are very perfunctory in giving gifts. Therefore, he was very much looking forward to and curious about the gift from Riddle that he was about to receive.
"I don't know either." Harry shook his head, "But Mr. Riddle always gets good things."
He thought of the map before.
'I don't know if Mr. Riddle has found the Knowledge Pavilion..."
Harry was thinking, when Malfoy suddenly came over with a proud and arrogant step.
"What's wrong, Pott? Staying in school again this semester? Your godfather who came out of prison doesn't plan to adopt you, a homeless poor guy?" He shook his platinum hair and looked at Harry sarcastically.
As before, Malfoy's mouth was still disgusting.
"Get away, Malfoy! No one here wants to talk to you!" Ron cursed angrily, but for them, Malfoy was just a small episode after all.
And Malfoy didn't actually have much energy to argue with them.
In fact, he received a letter from Narcissa not long ago, asking him to spend Christmas at Hogwarts.
But Draco Malfoy, who did not go home for Christmas last year, was not very willing to follow Narcissa's arrangements this time, especially after what happened last year. Thinking about it now, Malfoy still felt a little nervous.
When Cyrus modified Malfoy's memory, Draco didn't notice anything unusual at first, but soon he found that there were many inconsistencies in his memory. Although he still couldn't remember the content of the modified memory, he already knew that his body had been controlled by someone.
Draco felt a little chilly when he thought of this.
This Hogwarts really can't stay any longer, I must go home immediately!
After most of the little wizards in the school left, the castle immediately looked empty.
In the heavy snow, a few little wizards walked to the auditorium together to attend their warm dinner.
At the same time, under the lead-gray sky, a footprint the size of a fingernail fell on the snow. This mark extended from the forbidden forest to the castle, but was buried in the wind and snow.
——It was Peter Pettigrew.
For so long, Peter Pettigrew has been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to get Harry's blood.
After the trial to overturn Sirius's verdict, he was supposed to be given the Dementor's Kiss, but he was "lucky" because the Auror who was guarding him that night was confused, giving him the opportunity to escape.
However, the exposure of his Animagus identity still brought him a lot of inconvenience. He knew that he could be discovered again at any time, and at that time, only death would greet him.
So there was only one way left in front of him - to throw himself into the arms of the Dark Lord again.
So he began to look for the traces of the Dark Lord, and his "luck" was very good. It didn't take long to find Voldemort. At that time, Voldemort was looking for his lost Horcrux everywhere, and he was very happy to meet Pettigrew, a cowardly servant.
In any case, he was indeed a little alone, and the loyalty of the other Death Eaters could not be guaranteed. Voldemort was also very clear about what had happened in the magic world recently. He knew that Pettigrew had no way out, so he was not worried that the other party would betray him.
Just as Voldemort sneaked into Hogwarts and fought with Cyrus in the Pavilion of Knowledge, Pettigrew also returned to Hogwarts.
However, he did not dare to enter the school directly, but wandered around the Forbidden Forest, hoping to find a suitable opportunity to bring Harry's blood back. But this is not easy. In fact, he passed by Harry several times, but he did not dare to act rashly.
There are so many people in Hogwarts who want to kill him. How dare Pettigrew take the risk of exposing himself?
But now, the opportunity is right in front of us!
Thank you for the 500-point reward from Jiumi Zhenlong. Thank you, boss.
Today's third update, there should be no more. I have to go to work tomorrow and I guess I won't stay up late.
