After boosting his morale, Voldemort said to his men, "Now everyone else is out and doing their own thing, Severus, Bella, you two stay, I have something to tell you." ”

The Death Eaters in the room retreated after hearing Voldemort's words, and one of the Death Eaters left with Strange who had fallen to the ground. After all the Death Eaters in the room had left the room and closed the door, Voldemort waved his hand and motioned for his two most approved subordinates to sit down, and then sat back in his seats.

"Bella, tell me what's going on out there?" After all three of them were seated, Voldemort looked at Bellatrix and asked, "What are those filthy-blooded guys doing now?"

"Their newspapers have been boasting that they have besieged us to a handful of places, and have even entered London. Bella said. Previously, due to the need for secrecy, Voldemort and his followers came to this secret underground base in the north of Scotland and never went out, and all of everyone's activities were confined to this small underground space.

Naturally, Voldemort was also trapped in this underground base and couldn't go anywhere. Because only he can guarantee that no one in the base can expose all the information underground, or even escape directly from this underground secret base.

Voldemort's strict management measures have been quite effective, and even Snape, as an ace double agent, has not been able to bring any news to Dumbledore recently, which is why Dumbledore has recently lost knowledge of Voldemort's whereabouts.

Of course, just because Voldemort is hiding here doesn't mean he's going to be a turtle. Therefore, during this time, Voldemort's most trusted subordinate, Bellatrix, became Voldemort's eyes, and would often go out to check what was happening in various places.

"Oh, you're right, those filthy-blooded fellows and traitors have indeed attacked London. Voldemort smiled contemptuously and said, "But this is only temporary, as long as we defeat them this time, everything will be fine." ”

"Master, you're right. Bella's eyes widened and she said excitedly. "This time, we have pooled the resources accumulated by the British wizarding community for thousands of years to organize an unprecedented army, even the mythical Morgan Le Fay has never had such a powerful force. ”

"Yes, this army is unprecedented. Voldemort also became excited by Bella's words, "We will completely kill those filthy guys, create a clean and pure world that belongs to our pure-blood wizards, and make the British wizarding world great again." ”

"That's right, master. After chanting a number of slogans, Bellatrix then reported to Voldemort, "According to the information I found a few times ago, Dumbledore will also enter London after the outbreak of their London Raiders, and he will join the general assault on the Ministry of Magic. I've heard people say that Dumbledore wanted to reduce casualties. ”

"Yes, he's always been like that. Voldemort chuckled. "Always weak in the hope of reducing casualties, but never knowing that it was this practice that made them weak, right, Severus. ”

"Master, you're right. Snape, who had just stood to the side without saying a word, said in his deep voice. "Dumbledore did seem a little soft-hearted in some ways. ”

"Yes, Dumbledore has such a weakness. Voldemort smiled with eight teeth, and said, "But it's very good news for us, as long as those people can hold him for a little while, I can give them a fatal blow." ”

Hearing Snape's answer, Voldemort nodded and turned to him and asked, "How are you preparing the potions we need?" Don't worry about wasting them, we'll get more after we win." ”

"Basically ready, host. Snape lowered his head and said, "A few stimulants, temporary refills, and all the things necessary for the battle will be ready tonight, and if all goes well, everyone will have their hands on them tomorrow." ”

"Well done, Severus. Voldemort nodded in satisfaction, "After the victory of the war, I will give you the fair reward that loyal subordinates like this deserve." And those who disobey me or even rebel against me will inevitably be punished. ”

For the next half hour, Voldemort babbled on and on his various plans, especially what kind of world he would build if the war was won. It wasn't until after the addiction that the two subordinates were let go.

After leaving the conference room, Snape ignored Bella's neurotic pestering and went upstairs to his room. It is different from those young and pragmatic people who are recruited to be at the bottom

Once inside the room, he used a spell to make sure there was no other recouting spell in the room, and then took out a long strip of plain gold from under a piece of floor that had been pried open beforehand.

Holding the gold box in his hand, Snape looked at it in silence. After much thought, he didn't open the box after all, but lifted the floor again and put the box back in its original position.

Standing up, Snape sat back down at his desk, then pulled out an old book with yellowed pages and opened one of the pages. Then an old photograph, also yellowed and faded, fell out of the book.

Snape picked up the photograph from the table, it was not the usual moving photograph in the wizarding world, but a black-and-white photograph of the very common one in the Muggle world decades ago. In the photo, a little boy with greasy black hair looks a little cramped and stands there in an old wizard's robe that obviously doesn't fit, while next to him is a little girl with lighter hair and a big smile in a wizard's robe.

The layout of the whole photo is a bit strange, as the two people in the photo appear to be a little too far to the right and too close to the camera. However, it can be seen from the photo that the height of the person taking the picture is not very high, and it is likely that he is also a child.

"Lily—" Looking at the photo, Snape pursed his lips tightly, gently touched the face of the girl in the photo with a serious face, and then sat in this position for a long time. It wasn't until someone knocked on the door that he quickly reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, quickly tucked the photos into the old books, and then stuffed the books back into the pile of books on the table.

"What are you doing here?" Snape opened the door to find John Parkinson, Pansy Parkinson's father. "I don't remember anything to communicate with each other. ”

"I know, Snape, that we've had a bad relationship since we were students. John Parkinson said very simply that as a staunch supporter of the pure-blood theory, he naturally looked down on a mixed race like Snape with a bad background when he was a student, so he didn't intend to quibble at this time, but directly admitted the contradictions between the two sides in the past. "But now I pray that you will help me. ”

"I really didn't expect you, the noble head of a pure-blood family, to come and beg me, the bloodline filthy person in your eyes. Snape said in his deep voice, "But come in for your sake, and don't stand in the hallway." ”

"Well, tell me what you're praying to me for?" Snape asked as he walked into the room and closed the door.

"For my daughter, Severus. "I don't think I'll survive the next war, so Severus, I pray that you will help my daughter when the war is over." Because you are the master's most important right and left hand, the chances of survival are definitely greater than mine. Of course, if you are willing to help my daughter, you can also feel free to look at our family collection. ”
