"What did you hear?" Karkaroff glared at Dudley angrily, as if he wanted to eat him.
Karkaroff thought Dudley had eavesdropped on his conversation with Snape.
He didn't know that Dudley didn't like eavesdropping, he preferred to listen openly.
Karkaroff always hated Dudley, but now his hatred has reached an extreme level.
"Your current state is... um... very bad, isn't it?"
Dudley completely ignored Karkaroff's cannibalistic eyes. His eyes moved away from Karkaroff's face and gradually fell on his left arm.
He laughed contemptuously: "Mr. Principal, do you feel some discomfort in your left arm?"
Karkaroff's expression changed suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he strongly denied it.
"I don't know what you're talking about?"
"You mean you don't know?"
The cracked arc at the corner of Dudley's mouth gradually widened, outlining an ever-increasing arc. It was already winter, and the breath he exhaled turned into bursts of white mist. Due to the problem of focusing light in his eyes, in a dim environment, His eyes seemed to emit a captivating light.
Karkaroff felt very uneasy and turned around to leave here and stay away from the guy in front of him.
But before he could take two steps, a voice that made Karkaroff's hair stand on end came from behind.
"I mean, is it hot or not?"
Karkaroff froze in place as if he had been immobilized.
Just as Dudley said, his left arm was feeling a burning sensation, as if it had been poured with a layer of hot oil and bitten by a venomous snake.
There is a tattoo on the left arm, which is a pattern of a skull spitting out a snake.
This is the Dark Mark.
"You, you." Karkaroff turned around suddenly and looked at Dudley with horrified eyes.
How did he know, how could he possibly know? It's only right that he and Snape didn't mention this in the conversation just now! Did Snape tell him?
Countless doubts lingered in Karkaroff's mind, and his mind was in a state of confusion for a while.
Dudley didn't mean to explain to him, but continued.
"Look, it's a little hotter."
As Dudley finished speaking, the burning sensation in his left arm more than doubled.
If the heat just now was still within Karkaroff's tolerance, then the current temperature has made him almost unable to stand, and he feels that his left arm no longer belongs to him.
He was seen holding his left arm, squatting down with a face full of pain, and large beads of sweat falling down.
There is only one person who can cast the Dark Mark.
But how is this possible!
Karkaroff tried to raise his head, and under the moonlight he saw a pair of sparkling blue eyes, cold, ruthless and without any warmth.
Boom. Karkaroff felt like his brain was hit by something.
Memories from years ago flood into my mind
He had seen this look before, it was a nightmare-like look that woke him up from countless dreams.
The recent abnormality in my left arm is not an illusion.
This feeling is unmistakable. That man. That person. It's 'that'. He's back!
"You, you, black, black."
Karkaroff's body was shaking like chaff, and he couldn't even speak a complete sentence because of excessive fear. Let alone resistance at this time, he didn't even have the courage to escape.
Although the terrifying burning sensation in his left arm disappeared at this time, Karkaroff still felt that he could not breathe. In other words, as long as he was in front of this person, the suffocation feeling would always surround his heart, as if a poisonous snake was wrapped around him. His heart will release deadly venom at any time and kill him.
All he could do was quietly, waiting for the other party's verdict.
It's like a little white rabbit that strayed into Sichuan and Sichuan, waiting to be wrapped in thick chili peppers and turned into spicy rabbit heads.
"Shhh" Dudley leaned down and put his finger to his lips: "I don't want anyone else to know about this."
A chair appeared out of thin air under his buttocks, and Dudley sat on it directly, looking down at Karkaroff who was almost lying on the ground, scared to the point of collapse.
Yes, if Dursley was 'the one' everything would make sense.
He was only in the fourth grade but could master the long-lost dragon language, subdue three fire dragons, and defeat a fire dragon head-on.
Only 'The One' can do it.
Why didn't I think of this earlier? !
Karkaroff was secretly annoyed.
"I heard that you reported many people at that time?"
It may seem like a meaningless sentence, but anyone who understands it will know what it refers to and when it refers to.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Karkaroff became even more frightened and collapsed on the ground.
"Please listen to me.I.I."
"No need to explain, I know everything."
Karkaroff's heart almost stopped when he heard this. Fortunately, Dudley's next words were not punishment.
"There's nothing wrong with protecting yourself wisely."
If Dudley hadn't said the next words in time, Karkaroff might have scared himself to death.
"If it were me, I would do the same thing. The only fault is that the guys who went to jail (Azkaban) for this are too useless, and I don't like trash."
"As for your betrayal in the past, it was for better loyalty today, right?"
Even though there was no blame in the words, Dudley's voice was like a heavy hammer hitting Karkaroff's heart. He didn't even dare to raise his head and look into Dudley's eyes. After hearing the word 'loyalty' , and seemed to use all his strength to crawl to Dudley's feet, and put his head up without hesitation.
He was kissing Dudley's shoes.
He wanted to show his loyalty with this practical action.
All he can do is offer his loyalty, and only in this way can he survive.
Before hearing the other party's reply, Karkaroff tensed up and did not dare to relax for a moment. He kissed the shoe wholeheartedly, as if it was the most beautiful woman in the world.
"Very well, Karkaroff. I'm glad that you're still the same as before."
"You are the first of them to pledge allegiance to me."
Dudley's voice was like the sound of nature, which made Karkaroff gasp for air as if he had received an amnesty. At least, he should be able to survive.
Before I could savor the taste of the rest of the life after the disaster, a surge of ecstasy surged deep in my heart.
What did he hear?
The first to pledge allegiance!
Severus and Lucius didn't even know that the person in front of them was 'that one', and the first one that 'that one' came to came to was them!
As long as you stay steady, you can save your life, and you can even gain unimaginable benefits.
'That one' is not stingy with those close to him.
"Karkarov, you will do your best to serve me as before, right?"
Dudley spoke again, and Karkaroff answered quickly without thinking.
"Your instructions are my lifelong pursuit."
Karkaroff lowered his posture to the lowest level. He still dared not get up from the ground. Although he had not done anything for 'that person' before, it did not prevent him from saying so.
Until Dudley showed a satisfied smile.
