"Their relationship can be hidden from other people, but it cannot be hidden from us. Many people know about their abnormal relationship."
Lucius said with a smile on his face: "They have always been on the same journey."
"People are right to say that we, the Malfoys, are never seen at a crime scene, even if the wand is covered in their fingerprints. They have a completely autonomous fortune and they don't have to work. To make ends meet, they often act as the real power behind the throne and are happy to see others work like donkeys or take responsibility for failure, which is the kind of family we are."
Lucius suddenly talked about everyone's evaluation of their family, which made Snape, who had been deep in thought, a little confused.
"Since my ancestor Armand Malfoy set foot on this land with William the Conqueror, our family has already had the title of nobility. Even after the Secrecy Act, our family still retains our title of nobility. Maybe you I feel that after the introduction of the International Statute of Secrecy, wizards hid themselves very closely and completely cut off contact with Muggles. But in fact, only those Muggle wizards and low-level mixed-blood wizards cut off contact with Muggles. It’s just a connection with the world, and we at the top have never cut off our connection with the Muggle world. To be precise, the current ignorance in the wizarding world is the result of deliberate manipulation by us high-level families."
"But just like the stories in those legendary biographies, when the evil dragon rules the world, a brave man will stand up and kill the evil dragon. Then in the era after the story in the book ends, the brave man becomes the new evil dragon. , this is how the world continues to travel.”
"We are the evil dragons, and Dumbledore and Grindelwald are the brave men. It's just that before they completely slayed the dragon, they had an irreparable relationship due to ideological issues and the accidental killing of the third daughter of the Dumbledore family. After the split, Grindelwald ravaged Europa and Dumbledore entered Hogwarts. Neither of them gave up on their ideals."
After Lucius said this, he paused for a while to let Snape take in the news he had heard before. After all, even the Potions Prince family, one of the twelve school governors of Hogwarts, did not know this. , after all, their family is just a potion prince, not a medicine prince, so they are not qualified to know this.
"A dragon and a hero?"
Snape whispered after a while.
"Yes, the dragon and the brave, but the status between the two will also be exchanged. During Voldemort's time, Dumbledore was the dragon, but Tom, who was Voldemort, was not a brave either. He It's just a puppet introduced by Dumbledore to attract those pure-blooded people, and this puppet is also what we need. After all, during that time period, when we are at our weakest, we need to follow his wishes, so There is a second dark war that lasts for more than ten years."
Lucius leaned on his cane and looked out the window, his eyes full of memories.
"Why do you think Potter was able to escape three times, and why were the two Longbottoms also able to escape multiple times? It's not that we were leaking information, but the Potter family really suffered heavy losses. There really is only one heir. The others They all died in the Mountbatten attack and Warren Point. More than a dozen people, all excellent mages, were killed by bombs. It really made us know the power of technology, so since then we have deliberately Unintentionally followed Dumbledore's arrangements and asked him to push Fudge onto the stage, and watched as the Longbottoms, who knew the secrets between him and Voldemort, were tortured to madness. We were privy to everything, even Nevichiro. We also know that he is going to become Voldemort's temporary Horcrux, and even Chilo can appear in front of Dumbledore because we selected him, and everything is for our benefit."
Lucius was talking about the relationship between Voldemort and Dumbledore along the way, as well as their previous plan, which was to make Voldemort's Horcruxes appear in front of Dumbledore one by one, so that they could fight each other, and finally When it comes to finishing things, they have even thought about the arrangements for decades to come, but there is no rush to change the plan. The appearance of Zhuo Qun has wiped out everyone's plans.
"Who is Zhuo Qun?"
Snape still did not forget this issue while driving the carriage.
"This is the senior figure from Zhuxia that I mentioned. What other identity can he have?"
Lucius said while twirling his cane.
"Yes, then he is a senior figure."
Snape also heard it. Lucius didn't know Zhuo Qun's identity at all, so he didn't speak anymore. He just quietly drove the carriage towards Heathrow Airport not far away. march.
Many cars overtook this carriage along the way. Everyone was a little curious, how could a Victorian carriage drive on a modern highway, and no matter how the traffic light changed, the light was always green when the carriage passed by?
This made many people curious, but these curious people were all foreign tourists or people with relatively low status. As for those powerful people, they all knew that this was the habit of the ancient big family (at least in Harry Potter's case) The world is like this, the older the family, the more they refuse to use modern transportation), so they are not curious, they just don't know which family came out.
Whose family coat of arms is the black-green-silver tricolor with the Latin word "Purity and Victory" written on it, and the M-shaped shield with a snake-shaped pattern?
Many people are not sure. After all, the title of Earl of Wilt in the Malfoy family dates back to William the Conqueror. At that time, many families were still free citizens.
Those who knew it would understand that this was the trip of the ancient Earl of Wilt. This family was related to long standby time, so no one dared to question them along the way.
After all, in a modern country where all people are equal, nobles still have privileges, and they enjoy their privileges openly.
Lucius was walking leisurely, but Voldemort and Quirrell were a little impatient. They had been waiting here since they got off the plane. They had been waiting for several hours, and they were a little impatient.
"Mr. Riddle, where is your friend? Is he not coming over?"
The fat policeman looked at his watch. He was already a little annoyed. If it hadn't been for the news that Tom Riddle's luggage had been picked up in Scotland, he would have arrested these two people by now.
But he still asked, and Riddle said that the friend who was coming to pick them up was there. In his opinion, there was definitely something wrong with these two people. Even if they were not here to attack, they were still mentally disturbed people. Normal people would not do anything to them. with garlic, holy water and a cross around his neck.
"They'll be here soon."
Voldemort looked at the watch on his hand (bought when he was in Switzerland). It had been several hours, but no one had come yet. This made him feel that it was necessary to punish those Death Eaters.
Just when he was about to punish him, Quirrell pointed to the distance and said excitedly: "Someone is coming, the Malfoy family is here to pick us up."
Everyone followed his gaze and saw that an ancient carriage, pulled by four pure white Hanoverian horses, came in front of them.
In the car, a man wearing an old-fashioned dress and pigtails looked at them indifferently. When the man saw Tom Riddle, his pupils shrank, then he got off the carriage without saying a word, stood in front of the car door and stretched out his hand. Opened the car door.
"Lucius Malfoy, the 11th Earl of Wilt, has arrived."
After speaking, Snape said to the policemen: "You're still not polite!"
When they heard that it was the earl, many people began to salute.
After all, the nobility still has great power in this country.
Lucius Malfoy, who had thick platinum blonde hair, slowly walked out of the car.
"Mr. Gunter, why did you come out of your old family home in Great Hampton to travel around the world? You haven't left the house for more than ten years. I'm really curious."
Malfoy looked at young Tom Riddle and raised his chin and said,
When he spoke, his posture was so conceited that Voldemort wanted to give him the Cruciatus Curse to let him know who was the master.
"Your uncle Morfin Gaunt is still a guest at my house. You have a congenital heart disease, so it's better not to stay here. Severus, help our Mr. Gaunt get into the car."
Saying this, Lucius pressed the button on his snake staff, and Voldemort immediately knelt on the ground, covering his heart.
"Severus, give him a nitroglycerin tablet and help him into the car."
Snape immediately took out a nitroglycerin tablet from his pocket and stuffed it under Voldemort's tongue.
"Sir, do you need my help?"
The fat policeman looked at Lucius and asked, "Isn't this gentleman's name Tom Riddle? Why is he called Gunter again?"
Although he knew that Lucius was a noble, he still asked.
"Riddle is his father's surname, but his mother's surname is Gant. His father is a married woman. In order to avoid trouble when he went out, he used his father's surname. By the way, their family has also been an earl for generations and has a fiefdom. In Scotland.”
Lucius glanced at the fat man from the corner of his eye and said, "He is the only male heir of this generation of the Gaunt family, but he has congenital heart disease. He wants to travel around the world and see it before he dies."
Originally Lucius didn't need to explain, but he saw the Bath Star on the fat man's shoulder. This man was the commander of Scotland Yard and was considered a middle- and high-level person, so he needed to explain.
"This is my business card. If you think anything happens to him, you can call me, Commander."
Lucius said to the fat man as he handed over a business card made of gold with a ring of diamonds on the edge.
"Okay, Mr. Earl Wilt."
The fat man looked at the rather luxurious business card and immediately put it away. This was not only a contact information, but also a bribe to shut up. The fat man could tell that this business card was not worth its weight in gold as soon as he reached out and touched it. It weighs less than twenty grams, and although those diamonds are all broken diamonds, they are still valuable. At least he can't afford them with a few months' salary.
"Since Mr. Tom Riddle has a heart disease, it is difficult for us to detain him. Just take him away. I will call you if anything happens."
When the fat man laughed, the wrinkles on his face showed up. He decided to go back and see if the Earl of Wilt family was a strong family. If not, then he could get close to him. It seemed that this family It's quite rich.
As for the Quirrells on the side, they were a little frightened. He didn't understand why Snape was the one driving the car? This his old colleague? This made him a little worried, worried that he would not be able to complete the task assigned to him by Dumbledore.
At this time, Voldemort screamed in pain again in the car, but it was not because his heart was hurting, but because he felt that part of his soul had been wiped out.
"This thing is a complete three souls and seven souls."
Mamadi was playing with Voldemort's Horcrux in his hand, and in front of him was seventeen-year-old Tom Riddle, but he was just a soul.
"The complete three souls and seven souls?"
Zhuo Qun listened to Mamadi's words, looked at the somewhat illusory soul in front of him, and then looked at Zhang Zhiwei.
"You don't need to look at me. Maoshan is one of the most powerful sects in playing these ghosts. Apart from them, they are the shamans and those who play the Five Immortals. But if you really want to talk about it, Maoshan is more powerful and better than them. There are some, that is, there is such a thing as commanding spirits and sending generals, but there are no people who know the ghosts better than them, after all, the underworld is in their hands now."
After Zhuo Qun heard this, he asked: "What exactly is the underworld?"
He has always wanted to know this question, what is the underworld?
In this world, there is hell and heaven, and there are even gods who can call the ancestors. These are what Zhuo Qun wants to understand.
Whether it is Zhuo Qun, the main world, or the Zhuxia Alliance, they all attach great importance to the theory of Bi Shen Gui.
After all, it is a very traditional thing in Zhuxia to treat death as if alive, and having a destination after death is very useful for improving people's morality. At the same time, it also allows Zhuxia to add some spiritual things, so as not to let Those religions have invaded the minds of the people.
"Hell?"
He touched his mustache numbly, "The underworld is actually a place where we people's spirits are stored. He was not created by us, but was born from heaven and earth. It is a mysterious place born in Mount Tai. , you should be able to understand this."
"Mr. Taishan Mansion?"
Zhuo Qun immediately remembered this thing.
As early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a folk saying that after someone died, his soul returned to Mount Tai. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the god who was in charge of the underworld and governed ghosts was called the Lord of Taishan Prefecture.
According to Han folklore, the king of Taishan Prefecture is appointed by a gentleman and a direct minister, and he is replaced every five hundred years. One of the more famous is Cui Ziyu from the Tang Dynasty. He cuts off the yang during the day and the yin at night. He is the human god who judges the two realms of yin and yang impartially.
"Yes, Hades is on Mount Tai."
He looked at Zhuo Qun numbly and nodded.
