"I've not practiced in vain these days..."Rudolphus raised his wand, stood up, walked over and stretched out his hand to pull Lucius up, "I'm certainly not a waste, and I don't need my right hand right now." ”

"Then why are you... Uh, sorry, I misunderstood..."Lucius was a little puzzled at first, and then understood his friend's thoughts - compared to himself, the other party is a pure-blood who is arrogant to the bone, he looks down on mudbloods more than himself, and likes to kill Muggles, but he only follows the mysterious man because of Bella, otherwise he would not follow the mysterious man of mixed blood... Recent events have made it clear that Rudolphs is reluctant to expose his strength to fight for a mission.

"Lucius, you coward, look at how scared you are. Rudolphus smiled contemptuously, "I'm your captain, I've been covering you at school, I'll give you anything to cover... Like all the troubles you gave me, I know what you mean... If I wanted to tell this secret to my master, I would have told it a long time ago, so why would I have waited until now?"

After a moment of silence, Lucius's pale face, which had become pale from the momentary heart spasm before, gradually eased, and he waved his wand in the direction of the door, and whispered, "Close your ears and listen." ”

"Little bag," Rudolphus said mockingly, taunting him as he put his wand back into his waist, "and you only then remembered that I had already cast this spell, and no one noticed that we had just made such a big noise in our fight, do you think they are all deaf?" ”

Lucius's cold gray-blue eyes flickered, his pale pointed face turned to Rudolphus, and he walked over and sat down opposite Rudolphus: "It's always right to be careful, you know my situation..."

"When did it start?" asked Rudolphus in a whisper.

"It's been years... It's been almost three years... When the master gave me his diary for safekeeping, he told me that it had been tricked to reopen the secret room, and that I wanted to take care of it... In that year, the Ministry of Magic was stepping up its search for illegal black magic items, setting off quite a fight... You know, the owner had been missing for years without the slightest news, except for Bella and little Crouch, who probably thought he wasn't coming back," Lucius counted the time and sighed, "... In order to ensure the safety of the Malfoy family, I lost this diary...... And the last time I saw the notebook, it was ruined..."

Rudolphus asked suspiciously, "Lucius, don't you tell me that you made you fall to Harris because you damaged one of your master's magic items?"

"No, that's not just any magic item... I didn't know the importance of this diary to my master, just like you do now... It was one of the master's Horcruxes, containing fragments of his soul. Lucius sighed and shook his head as he thought of the horror and hesitation he had felt when he first learned the news from Alan.

"You said Horcruxes... Ahh Rudolphus sat up straight, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he paused, "... No wonder he's getting more... Hahahaha! These ignorant hybrids..."

"If I had known that I was holding a piece of my master's soul, I would have kept it safe... The master may have been too confident that we people were afraid of him, so he didn't tell us the truth..."Lucius pulled the corners of his mouth, a little self-deprecating, "Well, I wouldn't be honest with anyone else in this kind of thing... So you know what I was thinking..."

"There is no doubt about it... Not necessarily dead, but certainly the most cruel punishment...", Rudolphus thought of the Death Eaters such as Parkinson Sr. and Dorfin, who had been severely punished by his master during these days, "So, what are the credits you have made later?"

"Yes.. In addition to this, when Alan came to recruit me, he offered a bargaining chip that would do everything in his power to keep Draco and Sissi safe if needed... It's too much temptation for me..."Lucius fell into memory with his elbows on his knees. fifth

"Hah, have you and Harris been close enough to be called by his name?, and it seems that the kid doesn't like his master?" Rudolphus said in a mocking tone, raising his deep-set eyes at Lucius, "did you change your attitude so quickly and leave Malfoy's pride behind?... Oh, yes, this is your Malfoy..."

"Owen Harris is Draco's godfather," Lucius turned his head to look at his friend, "... It's normal for me to call Allen by his first name, Rudolphs. ”

"Lucius, I can't see that you're bragging, it seems that these Dark Lords are all the same..."Rudolphus raised his eyebrows and leaned back against the wall, "But whoever you Malfoy want to entrap will always get there quickly..."

At this moment, in the silence of the room, there was a knock on the door in an instant. The knock on the door was like a thunderclap, startling Lucius and Rudolphus, who almost immediately took their wands in their hands.

Rudolphus put the hand on his wand down again, "Don't be nervous, it's okay to knock on the door, maybe it's Narcissa?"

"It's not Sissi, she told me I wouldn't be here today. Lucius clenched his wand and walked over to open the door—seeing Crabbe standing in the doorway with an ugly face.

"Crabbe?" Lucius saw that it was his old henchman, put down his wand and asked curiously, "Say..."

"Lucius, it's Rudolphus's... The owner asked me to send the replica he had made... He told me he was in your room—" Crabbe's heart tightened, and he couldn't bear to think of Vicna's hand in his hand.

Lucius, who was blocking the door, was startled, and then realized that it was only the Mark of the Death Eater that revealed the location of his friend: "... Just teach me..."

"Okay Lucius... Here you go—" Crabbe said dryly, handing over a copy of Voldemort's Hand of Vicna to Lucius.

Lucius looked down, the glittering Mithril arm caught almost all of his attention, it was as bright as moonlight, and the magic emanating from its body proved that it was extraordinary, just...... Lucius frowned at the thought of Rudolphus's half-amputated arm, and his eyes fell on the replica of Vikna's hand, Lucius realized that something was wrong, he clenched his trembling hands tightly, and his pale cheeks were cold, not only was this arm too long, but it also exuded some vicious dark magic at the interface - although it was essentially a dark magic object.

"There's a Diamond Curse attached to the interface..."Lucius lowered his voice, his face became more and more ugly when he saw the magic fluctuations at the interface of Vic's arm, he lowered his voice, "I understand Crabbe, you don't need you here, you go back first." ”

"Yes... Lucius, I brought you a bottle of gin..."Crabbe's face was dark, he was a little embarrassed, he didn't know what to say, so he simply handed the whole bottle of wine in his hand to Lucius, "I will drink some when Bella punished me before, it won't hurt so much..."

Lucius took it, the finger bones holding the flask protruded clearly due to overexertion, and raised his chin at Crabbe, "Crabbe, you did a good job, don't worry, no one will know that you sent the wine, it has nothing to do with you, you go back to the room first..."
