Chapter 313: A New Goal (Part II)
And now Malfoy has made plans for the next step, this fishing village, a little close to a place, according to Salazar Slytherin, there is an island that hides part of his inheritance.
"When you talk about Horcruxes, I'm thinking of a man's manuscript who studied it a lot. "The old man named Salazar once told Malfoy about the Horcruxes.
"Despicable Helmpo?" asked Malfoy tentatively.
A long time ago, during the summer vacation at the end of the third year, at the Black family mansion in Grimmauld Place, Malfoy had this conversation with Salazar Slytherin.
"Yes, it was an ancient Greek dark wizard, so to speak, the inventor of the Horcrux, and the basilisk that I kept in the secret room was hatched according to his method. Salazar took Malfoy's question, and did not shy away from mentioning the secret room he had opened at Hogwarts and the basilisk he had raised.
"I was almost killed by that basilisk. Malfoy raised his eyebrows, not to mention, since he mentioned it, the basilisk hidden in the secret room was still impressive, so he complained seemingly unintentionally.
It's just a matter of luck that he escaped.
"No way, it won't take the initiative to attack, I gave him the order. Salazar swore by it.
The basilisk was just a ploy he had set up to avoid being ostracized by purebloods.
"Hundreds of years have passed, and your pet may be so lonely that it has long forgotten your commands, and when a Parseltongue is willing to talk to it, it will be impatient to put your restrictions behind it. Malfoy said lightly.
"Voldemort, however, tried to murder his classmate when he was a minor, and succeeded. Malfoy meant something.
The man was thoughtful and cruel, not only successfully murdered the myrtle when he was a student, but also picked himself clean, blamed Hagrid, and became a whistleblower himself, and won the special contribution award.
"Besides, isn't he your offspring, presumably the basilisk will be inexplicably obedient when he can smell his proximity to you," he continued, glancing at Salazar.
The old man's expression became a little embarrassed.
In any case, it is not a glorious time for one's descendants to appear in this situation.
What's more, Malfoy's reasoning is not unreasonable, and it may be the truth.
"Uh-huh. Salazar laughed dryly, changed the subject, and said in a dry and sandy voice: "The despicable Helmpo is an ancient Greek, and after I found his manuscript, I even went to learn the ancient Greek language in order to translate it, and it took a lot of effort to successfully translate it. ”
"Of course, in the end, it's not very useful, or it doesn't work for me, because I'm not very interested in this evil method, just a cursory glance, in fact, there is no big secret in it, but it may be a little helpful to you now, you want to destroy the Horcrux, right?"
"As for me, I don't really want to be so troublesome, and I don't mind telling you right now if I could, but it's just a part of my memory, and I don't even count my personality. ”
"So now it's up to you to take over, and I've left it ...... Let me think...... It should be the sea near Germany. The old man made an expression of memory and thought.
In his later years, Salazar traveled far and wide, covering almost all of Europe, and in fact he also left some similar relics in England and France.
However, it can be assumed that there must be a test in this.
And it can be dangerous.
In particular, the study of this evil should prevent people with unscrupulous intentions from acquiring it.
Assuming that the other three founders of Hogwarts are also like this old man, and have also laid down some treasures that will bless future generations, then set a corresponding test, Gryffindor will most likely test his courage, Ravenclaw may test his wisdom, and as for the always gentle Hufflepuff, even if he fails, he will definitely not be in danger of his life, and he will even get a certain gift.
As for Slytherin, they are the most deceitful, and it is impossible to guess what kind of traps and tests they have set.
Salazar reveals that he has forgotten what the test he has set for himself is, giving the reason that it is only a part of his memory, and it cannot even be called a personality.
As for this statement, Malfoy of course had reservations, and his communication with Salazar was not hindered at all, and it could only be said that the old man had not been without a test for him.
There is nothing in the world that does not work for nothing, let alone Slytherin, who is known for its shrewdness and cunning.
Today is a good day to go to sea, the wind is calm, many fishing boats are also out to sea at this time, and one after another small boats disappear at the end of the sea.
In the harbor, too, there was a rudimentary ship, but it looked sturdy.
"Where are you going? You want to leave me? That's not what you said before?" Fleur asked stiffly as she appeared behind Malfoy.
looked at the boy in front of him who was about to "run away".
He had now walked onto a black reef, looking at the tide that had receded, and some of the sea water was gently washing over the reef, and there was a faint foam.
"There are some things that I need to deal with alone, and I think it's time for us to be separated, your family must be in a hurry, not to mention, your body should still be very weak now. ”
Fleur was just looking at him in silence now, and there was only stubbornness in those blue eyes.
"My fever has been cured. She paused word by word and said seriously.
"I don't believe you're touching. ”
Fleur boldly reached over to grab Malfoy's hand, wanting him to test the temperature of her forehead.
Malfoy dodged.
"It's not a problem, you've taken risks with me many times, and this time Dumbledore's trust to you has been completed, and your mission has been completed. ”
"Then I can also say that this is not a matter of mission, it is my own choice!"
The salty and wet sea breeze gently blew on the two of them, bringing a trace of coolness, but the antagonistic emotions between the two were as hot as fire, and they did not give an inch.
Fleur looked at the person in front of her with burning eyes, not giving an inch.
"Am I crossing the river and tearing down the bridge?" Malfoy was a little tangled and hesitant, but by this time he had already made his own decision, and at the same time clenched his wand.
"Forget it!" he raised his hand and attacked Fleur.
The spell is cast so fast that it's almost imperceptible.
The old trick is repeated, and the Oblivion Spell is the best way, although it is suspected of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but for her future safety, it is necessary.
A dazzling light shone sharply
It's just that this flash of magic that belongs to the spell is knocked away in mid-air, and then gradually dissipates in the light of the sun.
