Chapter 131: The Locket

Upon learning that Regulus was not what he had always believed, a Death Eater through and through, and even gave his life for his rebellion against Voldemort, Blake could barely control his emotions and struggled to get more details from Darren. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Despite knowing that Blake was anxious to find out about his brother, Darren felt that the power belonged to Kreacher, and he told Blake that he had not yet heard the details of Kreacher......

Darren and Harry managed to calm Blake and listen with them as Kreacher told the story of Regulus and the locket," ...... He said that the Dark Lord wanted an elf and that Kreacher had to do everything the Dark Lord wanted him to do...... There was a stone-stone basin on the island, full of potions, and the Black-Dark Lord made Kreacher drink ......"

“…… He forced Kreacher to drink all the potion...... Throw a locket into an empty basin...... The basin was filled with potions again, and the Dark Lord got on board and left, leaving Kreacher on the island......"

Kreacher needed water, and he climbed to the edge of the island to drink from the Black Lake...... Many hands, dead men's hands, stretched out of the water and dragged Kreacher down......"

"Master Regulus was very worried, very worried, and told Kreacher to hide and not leave the house...... One night, Master Regulus came to the cupboard and found Kreacher, and told him to take him to the cave, the same cave where Kreacher and the Dark Lord had been......"

He ordered—Kreacher to leave—to leave him alone. He told Kreacher to go home - not to say to his mistress - what he had done - but he had to destroy - the first locket. Then he drank - drank the potion - Klee cut it out and replaced the locket - and watched...... Master Regulus...... Dragged underwater...... Then ......"

At this point, Kreacher began to cry again and threw himself to the ground, and Darren, who had already had an experience, immediately jumped up and held the elf to prevent him from hurting himself again, but with Harry's help, Kreacher was quickly stopped.

Blake, who was sitting on the sofa, trembled and clenched his fists, his eyes were fixed on Kreacher, Darren could almost feel the anger contained in it, and sure enough, the next moment, Blake's roar rang out.

"Kreacher! Why did you never tell me this, even after I came back! And why didn't you find someone to save him!"

In a fit of rage, Blake yelled at Kreacher, slamming his hand on the armrest of the sofa, making a "bang" sound, which should have been too strong, his nails were cut through his palms, and the blood of the Black family was spilled in the room.

"Regulus, you are so stupid, why didn't you come to me......"

Looking at Blake and Kreacher, who were in hysteria, Darren and Harry could only go by one, trying not to let them hurt themselves.

After most of the day's venting, Blake and Kreacher finally calmed down, Blake obviously suffered a very heavy blow, the whole person looked confused, although he always thought that Regulus was a "stupid idiot", but that could not affect the blood relationship between their brothers in the slightest, he showed dissatisfaction with Regulus, more of a disappointment in his brother's "hatred of iron is not steel", and his unconscious resistance to the pain of losing a loved one.

But today, the "facts" that have been able to appease him all along have been found to be nothing more than his own speculation, and the truth has bloodily torn open the scars in his heart, bringing him double the pain, and now, in addition to the grief of losing his loved ones, he must also add self-blame and guilt.

Kreacher, on the other hand, was like the walking dead, barely reacting to the outside world, and in the silence, the sky darkened, and without Kreacher's busyness, the whole house was filled with darkness except for a few dim gas lamps that gave off a little light.

Darren left Harry to look after Blake, went to the kitchen to get a few sandwiches, and put them next to Blake, but obviously, it was all useless, Blake didn't even look at it, still sitting on the sofa in a daze, allowing Harry to clumsily bandage the wound on his hand.

"It's all my fault, if I hadn't left, he wouldn't have been tricked by Voldemort into becoming a Death Eater, or maybe I should have taken him with me in the first place, in that case......"

Darren didn't stop Blake's muttering, this is a process of emotional self-release, it takes time to calm his heart, to be honest, in the worst-case scenario that Darren expected, there would be a situation where Blake went on the spot and slaughtered Kreacher with a wand, and it was quite good to have the current result.

Of course, Blake can't be left in grief all the time, and in order for him to recover faster, his focus needs to be diverted through appropriate methods, and Darren has found the right item to ensure that the request can be met.

"This is what Kreacher took me to find from the cabinet next to the fireplace," Darren placed an egg-sized locket on the table next to it, and on the lid of the box there was an S made of small emeralds that reflected a little light in the dim light of the room.

Hearing Darren's words, Blake's stiff eyes began to move, and he slowly reached for the locket and held it in his hand.

"That's it, my brother died for it. Blake whispered, "What the hell is this, Regulus thinks it's worth dying for!" he clenched hard, blood flowing from the messy gauze again.

"This is a Horcrux, Voldemort's Horcrux! Only by destroying it, and all the Horcruxes, can Voldemort be completely destroyed," Darren said silently in his heart as he looked at Blake, but he couldn't say it, because he couldn't explain why he knew this.

But how did Regulus know?

Horcruxes seem to be very unpopular, and even when Dumbledore first got the diary, he didn't notice any anomalies in it, until he suffered a loss because of Voldemort's ring, he realized the possibility of Horcruxes, and deliberately used Harry to tempt Professor Slughorn in order to retrieve his memories of Horcruxes......

Among the Death Eaters, only Regulus seemed to be aware of this problem, and it must be said that Black's younger brother was really, very smart, far better than his muscular older brother.

But even so, Darren didn't think that there were no clues, Regulus was able to guess the existence of the Horcrux, he must have been in contact with relevant information, and the source of this information can be provided, after removing the performance of other Death Eaters and various accidental factors, the house at 12 Grimmauld Place has a high probability......
