No.18 Sword Ace (Upright)
So Xiao Ao Nai was actually really subtle and turned his head silently.
V Danai's mind is truly an absolute nine-bend and eighteen bends...... I'm so entangled in what I'm writing that I'm going to vomit blood......
Those who are suspicious and tempting the ...... Can you give me a death to die!
==============================
Sword Ace (upright): Strong self-control and determination.
、
Malfoy Manor, England

[Offense...... Me? ]
For Riddle's words, Opal had a hint of doubt in both his voice and expression.
"You should have heard what Fang just said, right?"
Looking at Opal with interest, Riddle admits that he was expecting something about how the kid would react.
After looking at Draco, who was trying to reduce his presence, Opal shrugged his shoulders and looked puzzled: [Why should I care about his evaluation?] ]
Although it is in the form of an interrogative sentence, what is revealed between the lines is a kind of indifference without sorrow or joy - or more accurately, coldness.
It was utterly unintentionally ignored.
But this kind of thing is a normal thing for Opal.
Because she has always felt that she only needs to care about what the people she cares about think of her, and what other people think of her......
Honestly, does it have anything to do with her?
The originally heavy atmosphere suddenly blanked for a few seconds.
The corners of his lips rose quietly, and Riddle was relieved and confirmed that the child in front of him was serious and unconcerned.
Of course, the intention to intercede for someone on this ground is even more invisible.
Now that I think about it, this child has been able to surprise and surprise him since the first time they met.
At this moment, for the damage from the ants, there is no need for disdain and indifference to even laugh at it.
This is the quality that he has not yet taught her, and it should be a superior person.
Maybe this is due to the inheritance of the "Son of Gaia", after all, the so-called "Son of Gaia" will be enough to lead the existence of the entire magical biological world in the future, and if he doesn't even have this kind of energy, it will be a joke altogether.
But in any case, such Opal does meet his expectations, doesn't he?
"You are my chosen heir."
So questioning you is the same as questioning his decision, even if the other person doesn't know about it.
Riddle's words weren't complete, but he knew Opal understood what he meant.
So looking at Opal, whose eyes were twinkling, Riddle admitted that he was extremely expecting the girl's reaction.
He never doubted his place in this child's heart.
But what this kid can do for him is something he's always wanted to know.
In addition, Riddle also had to admit that when this completely bloodless child actually used the dark magic spells he had taught her on humans, would the pigeon's blood-red eyes still maintain their original clarity and cleanliness?
He was looking forward to the outcome.
Opar's brow furrowed as she read Riddle's subtext, as if she was thinking about something, and after a moment she nodded, raising her hand to drop Nagini that had been wrapped around her wrist.
The advantage of being a psychic speaker is that you can use your magic to communicate only with the person you want to talk to, without worrying that others will know what the conversation is about.
After the beautiful pattern of Nagini fell to the ground, he received Opal's command to change back to his original size.
After receiving the magic transformation of the Dark Duke and devouring the scales of Nagini, who belonged to the magic silver python, Nagini, who was originally just a descendant of an ordinary forest python, now has a body structure closer to that of a magical creature, and also has functions that ordinary pythons do not have - for example, hollow "poisonous" fangs.
And now infused into Nagini's teeth is the potion that Opal has refined.
Draco, who couldn't escape because of the spell, watched in horror as the enlarged snake wrapped around his body and bit him on the wrist.
The moment the potion was injected, Draco's entire body muscles convulsed and shrunk on the floor, if it weren't for the effect of the spell Opal used before, it is estimated that the screams would have sounded.
Lucius, who was standing on the side, didn't dare to say anything at the moment, didn't dare to confront Draco at all, just stood aside with his head bowed tremblingly, constantly breaking out in a cold sweat.
Opal stopped moving for a moment after Nagini bit Draco, just watching him calmly while counting the time on his pulse.
After a few moments, Draco's convulsions seemed to subside, and Opal tilted his head as if to think for a moment, then took out two bottles of potions from the pouch on his waist, walked over to Draco and bent down, holding his body down with a crisp motion, and then pressing his fingers down on his jaw.
Remove the chin, pour the medicine, and press back.
All the movements were neat and neat, and Riddle remembered that he seemed to have seen them somewhere.
It seems like...... Was it Opal who was taking care of the magical creatures who were sick and refused to take their medicine?
Blood-colored eyes swept over the servant's face that was relaxed after the moment of the servant standing on the side, and Riddle looked at Opal, who had already walked back to his side and was standing, and did not say a word.
Although in terms of effect, Opal did punish the stupid servant who did not know the height of the sky, but ...... Not in the way he had hoped.
[Piercing Bone is not yet proficient in controlling the force, but the punishment does not need to use Avada, and the Imperius Curse is not suitable for this situation.] ]
Gently stroking Nagini, who had recoiled back on her wrist, Opal looked sideways at Riddle with a focused and calm expression, [While I'm confident in my crafting abilities, it's clear that there is a difference between humans and magical creatures. I need a test piece. ]
As a result, the effect of the potion she made was intolerably deviant.
As for her thoughts on the three "unforgivable spells", aside from the fact that they are "practical", Opal feels that these spells, which are strictly forbidden to use in the wizarding world, are no different from ordinary spells to her.
"The result?"
Nodding his head to satisfaction with Opal's answer, Riddle turned his gaze to Draco, who was now unconscious.
[The effect does not meet the calculation I did when I configured it at the beginning, and sure enough, there is still something wrong......]
In response to Riddle's inquiry, Opal pursed his lips and turned his eyes to the other side.
Opal didn't show anything explicitly, but Riddle knew that the kid was depressed at the moment.
However, he was pleased with her performance - although Opal's approach was contrary to his initial expectations, both her attitude and handling it were quite good.
"Don't forget the follow-up, Lucius."
Blood-colored eyes swept over the unconscious child, and then turned to the platinum nobleman who was standing aside and didn't dare to make any extra moves, Riddle's voice was still calm, "You should be very skilled in modifying your memories." I don't want to hear superfluous rumors or anything. ”
The platinum-blond haired servant nodded in fear, but he couldn't make a sound as if under a spell.
"Being young is not a reason to be condoned."
After his gaze swept over Opal standing beside him again, Riddle's gaze returned to the window, "I remember you pushed a Muggle off the bridge with your own hands when he was his age, right?" Although the method is very clumsy, it is indeed courageous. Although I know that it is not easy to conceive an offspring, if you continue to pamper your child like this...... Then I think you and Narcissa may need to work harder. My temper and patience have never been very good, you know that. ”
"Yes hosts! I know. ”
The black devil mark on his arm was hot and hot, but the pain made Lucius dare not raise his head, "In order to make up for my negligence, I will, will work hard......"
"Three years to go, Lucius. Don't forget the age of entry to Hogwarts. ”
Impatiently interrupting the servant's flattery, Riddle frowned, "The next time we meet, if that's all the Malfoy bloodline can do...... Lucius, even if I am satisfied with your loyalty, consider whether to give you another position that matches your abilities. ”
The elegant wording, without a hint of accusation or reprimand, had the effect of making Lucius almost think that his heart had completely stopped beating - this was an "ultimatum" for the Duke of Darkness.
"Opal, let's go."
After dropping the paragraph, Riddle got up from his seat and walked out the door.
Lucius wanted to chase after him to see him off, but he was completely pinned to the spot by a sharp glare, and he could only watch as the child, who had a similar appearance to his former friend, put the album on his seat, bowed to him gracefully and said goodbye, and then chased him out completely fearlessly.
It wasn't until the two figures, one large and one small, disappeared from his field of vision that Lucius let out a long breath and found that his underwear was completely drenched with sweat.
Therefore, those who think that the Duke of Darkness is better than having other thoughts are idiots......
Thinking of the petite figure that followed his master's side, showing a calmness, composure, and calmness that far surpassed that of his peers, Lucius felt that he might really have to reconsider the path he would choose as a "Death Eater" in the future.
But until then......
Carefully picking up Draco, who was still unconscious and pale, Lucius smiled bitterly.
You still have to deal with your precious son's affairs first.
Because of the relationship between the only son, whether it is Narcissa or herself in the past few years, it seems that she has really indulged his temper too much.
==================I'm the dividing line =================== the switch scene
London, England
、
[Hmm...... It's noisy......]
After being taken to the streets of ordinary human life by Riddle for the first time, Opal pulled the clothes of the young man next to him a little uncomfortably, and only felt dizzy.
"What's wrong?"
Confirming that Opal's discomfort didn't appear to be caused by a shapeshift, Riddle bent down to pick up the girl beside him and put his hand on her forehead.
[Riddle can't hear me?] ]
The noisy and noisy wails and cries for help made her almost think she was back in her dreams.
"What did you hear?"
Raising an eyebrow without a trace, Riddle looked around—he had left Diagon Alley with Opal, and the place where he had appeared was a dead end.
Outside the alley is a busy road, which doesn't seem to be anything special.
[The same cry for help as in the dream, so noisy and noisy......]
Rubbing his temples, Opal gave a wry smile, [though he was already thinking about not listening, but he got in.] ]
Noticing a restaurant in the distance, Riddle's eyes twitched slightly, and he sighed and covered Opal's forehead with his hand: "Shift your attention to my hand and don't think about anything." ”
That's what makes being a son of Gaia so special...... You can't ignore the cries and cries for help from animals, but if it gets to this point...... Sure enough, it would be better to teach this child occlusion as early as possible.
[Okay.] ]
Quietly closing his eyes, Opal, who trusted Riddle wholeheartedly, obediently followed his instructions and manipulated his magic, and finally felt a lot better.
"Was it hard just now?"
[A little, but Opal doesn't matter anymore.] ]
After nodding vigorously to indicate that he was in good shape, Opal grabbed Riddle's robe, clearly not happy that he would be put down like this.
And Riddle also noticed her small movements, and after slightly hooking the corners of his lips, he didn't try to let her go, which was regarded as acquiescing to her little coquettishness this time.
[Riddle is here for something?] ]
Although Opal was a little stunned by the street scene that fell into her eyes, she quickly retracted her attention and turned to look at Riddle.
"That's what was promised to you."
If you can show that he is satisfied, then take her outside to see it.
[Huh?] Riddle wasn't upset? ]
Apparently unable to expect Riddle to say that, Opal's eyes widened in disbelief.
"I'm satisfied."
Bowing his head slightly, he dropped a shallow kiss on Opal's forehead to show encouragement, "Whether it is the treatment or the potion, you have performed well, although it is a little tricky, but it is within the scope of my acquiescence." ”
Speaking of which, judging by the talent she had shown, the child might have been a good match for the Potions professor servant he had at Hogwarts.
[Really?] ]
The pigeon's blood-red eyes immediately lit up - because of his affirmation.
Unpretentious, sincere, excited by his affirmation, centered on him, simple and pure feelings.
There was something churning in the depths of her eyes, which had reverted to a blue color, but in the end, it was because of that transcendent self-control, and it converged into a faint and gentle gaze at the girl.
Then he knocked on the girl's little head: "As my heir, be confident in yourself." ”
[Heir?] ]
"Well, you are my chosen heir, and in the future, you will reign over the entire wizarding world."
For the first time, Riddle told Opal about his intentions, "Today's test is only the first step, and you will gradually inherit my things, servants, and status in the future." ”
Although there is still a long time ahead, he still wants to try to believe that this child's innocence will not be changed by time.
He wants to start exposing this child to his own world, and he has already helped her initially construct her values in the first two years, and in the next three years, she has a lot to learn.
[Don't!] ]
But to his surprise, Opal shook his head violently.
A neat refusal.
"Why?"
The blue eyes narrowed slightly—this was the first time Opal had "rejected" his gift.
[Those things...... It's Riddle's, isn't it? ]
And the pigeon that looked at him was full of seriousness in his blood-red eyes, [If Opal inherits it, what will Riddle do?] ]
"Do you know what you turned down?"
[What are you going to do with those things that aren't Opal's?] If only Opal could be by Riddle's side. ]
Simple, but also simple to the extreme, there is no hypocrisy.
Riddle was slightly stunned, then the corners of his lips lifted slightly.
He had to admit that, in one way, the child was innocent to the point of cuteness.
-- All the nations of the world, the glory of all nations.
These things that others are eager to attract have never been able to confuse this child.
The eyes of the finest pigeon's blood rubies were always pure and clean. Neither blood nor darkness can only adhere to the surface, and can never penetrate into it.
This is this child, so pure.
A warm glow appeared for the first time in his azure eyes, and Riddle let out a soft breath and curled his eyebrows.
Unique in this world, his ...... Silent Girl.
