Take control of thunder and lightning from Hogwarts

Chapter 835
"To shut up!"

After hearing Lockhart say the word Horcrux, Bella's expression suddenly tightened, and she quickly shouted to stop Lockhart from continuing.

Apparently Bella was the only one among the Death Eaters who knew that Voldemort had a Horcrux, which is quite normal since one Horcrux was kept in her vault.

The matter of the Horcrux can be regarded as very important to Voldemort, so it must not be easily leaked.

But after seeing Bella's performance, the Death Eaters around immediately realized that Lockhart's words must be very true, otherwise Bella's reaction would not have been so intense.

"Lockhart! Go on!"

After realizing that Lockhart might know the real secret, the behavior of the Death Eaters around him also became polarized.

Among those who were absolutely loyal to Voldemort, their first reaction was that they did not want Lockhart to continue talking, and they did not want the other party to reveal too many secrets about the Dark Lord, including Bella and the Lestrange family.

But more, still eager to know more people.

Of course, there may not be a problem with their loyalty to Voldemort, but they joined the Death Eaters in the first place, more because these guys themselves are deranged villains.

They have no sense of morality in their hearts. They surrender to Voldemort mainly because of fear and admiration for the strong, not because of ideas.

Lockhart was originally a person who liked to enjoy the attention of the public. Perhaps because there were enough audiences, he became calmer after hearing the shouts outside the cell.

So he shouted confidently, "That's right, it's a Horcrux!"

"Just because the Dark Lord's soul rests on the immortal Horcrux, I can guarantee that the Dark Lord is still alive!"

The Death Eaters in the surrounding cells nodded secretly when they heard the words. Most of them actually didn't know much about Horcruxes, and what they knew was only a certain understanding of Horcruxes, a black magic creation.

But they could more or less hear the certainty in Lockhart's words, and Bella's gaffe made everyone feel calmer.

But Bella was still a little flustered. After all, this was Voldemort's core secret, but it was revealed in public, which would be extremely dangerous for the Dark Lord.

Thinking of this, Bella couldn't help feeling a lot of resentment towards Lockhart, and at the same time, she was surprised why the other party knew Voldemort's big secret.

In fact, she really wanted to question the other party on the spot, but she was afraid of revealing more inside information to the rest of the Death Eaters.

Although they were all Voldemort's former loyal subordinates, their degree of loyalty was different. Even she couldn't fully trust her, not to mention that there were many prisoners who had committed other crimes in this floor.

But before Bella struggled for a long time, Lockhart actually explained to everyone on his own.

"The so-called Horcrux is to make a split soul into a special magical item. The Dark Lord made a Horcrux for himself. Of course, no one knows how many there are."

"So it is true that the Dark Lord committed suicide on the spot at the public trial, but it is also true that he is still alive. After all, this method of suicide will only allow the Dark Lord's soul to return to the Horcrux. This is also his unique means of escape."

"How do you know this kind of thing so clearly?" A Death Eater was convinced after hearing Lockhart's explanation, but he still had doubts in his heart.

"Because I've seen one of the Dark Lord's Horcruxes!" Lockhart said suddenly, and everyone including Bella was taken aback.

"I know you are loyal to the Dark Lord, and you even complain in your heart that I have revealed the Dark Lord's secret, but the reality is... the Dark Lord's Horcrux is no longer a secret to the outside world!"

Lockhart seemed to enjoy everyone's surprised expressions, and his condition was getting better and better.

"what?"

If they were just a little surprised just now, Lockhart's words obviously surprised everyone now.

"What's going on, tell us quickly!"

"That's right! What's the current situation of the master?"

Several Death Eaters asked Lockhart eagerly. Even Bella showed a look of panic. Her only sustenance for life is Voldemort. If she can't even keep the Horcrux, then she may really lose her life. hope.

"Hey... This matter is actually related to that Anduin Wilson, and it's also the reason why I was locked up here." Lockhart knew that the most important part of making up was next, so his attention was also limited. more and more concentrated.

"A year ago, after the Dark Lord chose to commit suicide to escape, he was resurrected on a Horcrux, and entered Hogwarts by chance."

"At that time, as a world-renowned adventurer, I was also invited by Dumbledore to enter Hogwarts and become the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts for that school year."

Lockhart put on a sincere and thoughtful attitude, coupled with the inscrutable appearance before, so that everyone felt a little awe of him, so everyone listened quietly and honestly at this time.

"You may not know..." Lockhart smiled bitterly, "Although I am not a Death Eater, I have always admired the deeds of the Dark Lord. It is a pity that I had just graduated and had not had time to join the Death Eaters. , the Dark Lord disappears from the wizarding world."

"In Hogwarts, I accidentally discovered the traces of the Dark Lord's Horcrux!" Lockhart put on an air of a master, "As an adventurer who has been traveling all year round, I have always been interested in Treasure hunting is very sensitive, so not long after school started, I followed the clues to find the Dark Lord."

When all the Death Eaters heard that Lockhart had contact with Voldemort, they immediately became excited, especially Bella and the others who were at the core, they couldn't help asking questions excitedly.

"How is the master's current situation, when is he going to counterattack the wizarding world?"

"The Dark Lord has infiltrated Hogwarts, and he must have turned the place upside down. Was that old man Dumbledore killed by his master?"

Seeing that these Death Eaters still maintained the blind self-confidence towards Voldemort more than ten years ago, Lockhart couldn't help curling his lips, but in order to win everyone's trust, he still went against his will.

"Because of the previous suicide, the condition of the Dark Lord is not as good as expected, but after my careful maintenance, he has recovered a lot."

"It's a pity that the Dark Lord was still in the soul state at that time, and his strength was too far behind when he was complete. That's why he couldn't resist when he was discovered by Anduin Wilson!"

"Huh?" Bella was startled when she heard the words, "You mean, the master who was reborn in the Horcrux was finally discovered? By the so-called Anduin?"

"That's right..." Lockhart nodded, "That Anduin is a wizard on Dumbledore's side, and he is very strong, even with me, he can fight a [-]-[-]."

"Not to mention that he himself is a master alchemist and has a lot of combat equipment in his hands, so after he accidentally found out, I was defeated by this bastard, and at the same time, Lord Dark Lord fell into his hands again!"

Although this paragraph sounds simple, when Lockhart described it, he demonstrated various narrative techniques to the fullest.

The relationship between him and Voldemort, their resistance after being discovered by Anduin, their respective descriptions in their hearts, and the details of the final battle, etc., all seemed true in his mouth.

It can only be said that Lockhart is worthy of being a novelist. Among other things, in terms of storytelling ability, no one can match it.

So those Death Eaters were taken aback by Lockhart. How could they have heard such a true story? The rich details in it are simply outrageous, even what Voldemort said and how Loyalt was loyal Those who protect the Lord have a real picture in their minds.

"what?"

At the same time, when Bella and a group of Death Eaters heard that Voldemort was resurrected on the Horcrux, they thought that the Dark Lord could take this opportunity to make a comeback. Who would have thought that the end of the story would turn around and be caught again.

"The master even got the Horcruxes captured, so he..." A Death Eater couldn't help but exclaimed. He didn't know how many Horcruxes Voldemort had, so in his mind, he was caught. One might mean the end of the Dark Lord.

"Master is far-sighted, how can something happen so easily?" Bella glared at the other party with a ferocious face. She obviously knew more than the rest, so she said firmly, "Master has countless Horcruxes, even if one or two are destroyed. It doesn't matter much."

"That's good..." The most loyal Death Eaters heaved a sigh of relief, and then looked at Lockhart curiously, "Continue talking! What happened to Master?"

After the previous conversation, everyone was basically sure that this Lockhart was half of them. After all, the other party took care of Voldemort who was in the state of Horcrux for a long time.

"Later?" Lockhart showed bitterness, "Before he was captured, the Dark Lord told me to bear the burden of humiliation and find a way to escape before going to him, and then he committed suicide again..."

"Master!" Bella was so angry after hearing Lockhart's narration, and there was endless evil in her heart, "That damned Anduin, I must cut him into pieces and use the Cruciatus Curse to kill him. Tortured into an idiot!"

Except for Bella, the other Death Eaters also shouted and cursed angrily. Of course, they liked to scold when they had nothing to do in Azkaban. No one knew how many of them really scolded for Voldemort.

"So...you finally lost contact with the master?" Bella's husband Rodolphus asked Lockhart after regaining his composure a few minutes later.

"Um……"

Lockhart was still thinking about how to continue to interrupt. After all, Anduin hadn't finished his lines, so he saw someone asking him, so he quickly picked up the conversation.

"Since encountering Anduin's surprise attack, Lord Dark Lord's consciousness has completely disappeared from the Horcrux, and I was also arrested by that guy."

"And when that bastard found out that the Dark Lord hadn't been left behind, he became furious and wanted to search my memory, trying to find out the information that Lord Dark Lord gave me."

"But how can I be so easily captured by Legilimency?" Speaking of this, Lockhart raised his chest with great confidence, "In the end, I was imprisoned by Anduin and Dumbledore for nearly a month, and I found that I was completely unable to get out of my mind." After I got useful information, I was charged with a random crime and imprisoned in Azkaban."

"No wonder..." The Death Eaters, including Rodolphus, nodded in a sudden realization.

They were very aware of the situation in Azkaban, and knew that most of the prisoners on this floor were Death Eaters serving life sentences, or villains who had committed super felonies.

Since the end of the wizard war, no wizard has been placed on this floor for a long time, so when they saw Lockhart being locked up next to them, everyone was very curious.

After all, Lockhart looks handsome, and he is an adventurer and writer by profession, and his crime is even more despicable fraud, and he knows that he will not be locked up here for no reason.

It wasn't until today that they finally realized that Lockhart's crimes were not much less serious than theirs, and after having been in close contact with Voldemort for so long, many Death Eaters might not have had this honor back then.

"Dying...no, before disappearing, did the master tell you anything else? Did you mention us?" Bella asked softly.

After a brief chat, Bella lost her initial hostility towards Lockhart, and even at this moment, in her eyes, he was no different from her own.

If you are really sleepy, someone will give you a pillow!Lockhart was secretly delighted. He found that the Death Eaters in front of him were as foolish as they were full of evil. They were even more deceitful than those readers, and now they even took the initiative to ask him what he was going to say.

"Before he disappeared... the Dark Lord did leave me a private message!" Lockhart suddenly put on a serious face, looking at everyone with a serious expression.

"He specifically instructed that if I really couldn't escape and was captured by Anduin and Dumbledore, and finally imprisoned in Azkaban, I would find a way to rescue his once loyal servants!"

"Save us?" The Death Eaters were in an uproar when they heard the words. They didn't expect that Voldemort's last words were related to them.

Immediately, several Death Eaters who were loyal to Voldemort showed expressions of excitement and gratitude. In their hearts, it was an extremely honorable thing for Voldemort to miss him.

"But...you alone, how could you rescue us?" Compared to the others, Rodolphs was obviously much calmer, and he knew exactly how strict the guards in Azkaban were.

Not to mention the 'anti-apparition magic' covering the entire prison, those dementors alone are enough to stop them all, otherwise the wizards guarding Azkaban will not be the only ones. The real guards here are still Those dementors who feed on positive emotions, and even souls.

"Of course I can't do it if it's just me." Lockhart smiled triumphantly, "But before the Lord Dark Lord left, he gave me a good way..."

　I’m sorry for the interruption of the update for a few days. A few days ago, my condition recurred again. I was very nervous to change anyone with a high fever for more than a week, so finally my family decided to send me to the hospital. After a few days of treatment, the temperature finally stabilized. Of course, the body is still a little weak, but it should not be interrupted casually in the future, thank you for your concern!
