Chapter 020: Family Inheritance (I)

Catherine hurriedly took her hand and comforted Narcissa silently.

Once Draco had consolidated his strength, Snape took Catherine and left, and as soon as they returned, the two discussed her magic.

"When did you reach it?" Snape was puzzled by this, he was well aware of Catherine's strength, so he was surprised that she had reached the seventh order of perfection.

"It should be today!" Catherine was also puzzled, "When I got it yesterday, it was only blood red. She let the rose bloom and found that it had turned black.

"Something to do with that diary?"

"Maybe, I had a strange dream last night." Catherine carefully described what happened in the dream.

"Do you suspect they are—" Snape said hesitantly, "the Dark Lord?" ”

"Likely, isn't it?" Catherine shrugged, "It's just that I don't understand why there are two?" ”

"The most important thing now is to improve your strength." Snape just threw away the ethereal stuff.

"That's what I thought too," Catherine said as she checked the information stored in the ring, "so I decided to go to the family forbidden land as much as possible to receive the eighth-order inheritance. ”

"How did you get there?"

"This ring is actually a two-way portkey," Catherine shook her left hand, "but for the time being, it only records the coordinates of the family's forbidden land, and will only record the coordinates of departure when it is activated." ”

"Then go to your bedroom!" Snape's face suddenly turned ugly, "Before the holiday, Dumbledore brought the three of them over to add a lot of defensive magic there. ”

"Okay!" Catherine raised an eyebrow, and she understood why the headmaster and the four deans were uncertain during that time, "There will also be a period of free time, because the time of the inheritance is uncertain, and the maximum record is six hours." ”

"Early tomorrow morning!"

"Hmm!"

The next morning, when she was sure that everything she had to prepare was done, Catherine pricked her finger and dripped blood on the seven-petal black rose, and then she felt her navel jerk forward, and then the whole person flew up, and then her feet hit the ground heavily, and her body stumbled and almost fell, she quickly stabilized herself, and at the same time quickly drew her wand, and looked around cautiously and quickly.

"Very fast, very cautious response." A gentle voice rang out behind Catherine, followed by a series of heated discussions.

"Oh, it seems that she is not yet an adult, so her inheritance ring must be out of order."

"But don't you think she's good? There was not a hint of panic. ”

"What the hell is that guy who lacks heart, who actually let such a young girl accept the family inheritance."

"yes, no one has been here for almost eleven years since that dark-haired and bespectacled boy."

"The boy seemed to be fighting outside when he came, and I don't know what happened outside."

"No way, in order to ensure the quality of the inheritance, we have completely severed the connection with other portraits."

……

The discussion became more and more intense, but Catherine did not ask, but relaxed herself, except that her wand was still tightly held in her hand.

"Quiet!" The gentle voice that had started sounded again, "Why don't you make a sound?" My offspring. ”

"I heard a total of 72 voices just now, and as far as I know, there have been 72 patriarchs in the family." Catherine regained her smiling countenance.

"Excellent listening and quick thinking." The gentle voice gave a thumbs up, and then the surroundings suddenly lit up.

Catherine narrowed her eyes slightly, and when she had adjusted to the light around her, she found herself in a circular room, where there were no doors or windows, and the ceiling and floor were carved with two huge roses over forty feet in diameter, but in the opposite way, and on the walls of the room hung a circle of portraits, each with a metal plate carved with a rose pattern inscribed with their names, no more, no less, exactly 72 pieces.

"Hello, child, I am Ignotus, the first patriarch." The gentle voice came from a portrait of a white-haired wizard in a bright red robe, "Your name should be Catherine, right?" ”

"Yes, yes...... What shall I call you? Catherine really didn't know what to call these "people" of distant and noble status.

"You can just call us by our names," said a witch in a sky blue dress to the left of Ignotus, with an active expression, "Of course you can also add grandparents to the end." ”

"Alright, Viktova, Catherine is here to receive the inheritance, we shouldn't waste time." The sorcerer on Ignotus' right, with his gold-rimmed eyes and silver robes, spoke, and as soon as he spoke, the other portraits who were eager to speak shut up.

"Catherine, have you decided to accept the family inheritance now?" Ignotus re-spoke, "You seem to have just turned twelve. ”

"Yes, Grandpa Ignotus." Catherine nodded firmly.

"Alright then," Ignotus raised his eyes, "you probably remember the first time you came into contact with the Legacy Ring. ”

"Of course." What happened the day before yesterday was so impressive that even Neville could remember it.

"This time the inheritance is similar, except this time you have to focus the magic on your eyes so that you can see the content of the inheritance." Ignotus blinked, "Then he stood in the center of the room, on the stamen of the very center of the rose, closed his eyes, and nodded when he was ready." ”

Catherine complied, and then heard the images around her begin to chant an ancient mantra, 72 voices together like the music of an angel.

She smelled the scent of moonlight flowers in a burst of talk, her mouth seemed to taste the taste of cake, and the most amazing thing was her own body, as if she was enjoying a sauna, every inch of her skin was so comfortable that she just wanted to tremble.

Just as Catherine began to become infatuated with this strange feeling, a vague vibration suddenly sounded in her heart, and then all kinds of images and sounds flew before her eyes.

Catherine's face turned blue, and she hurriedly activated her magic to relieve the discomfort, and quickly remembered it.

I don't know how long it took, Catherine found that her magic power was almost consumed, but the inheritance showed no sign of ending, so she was very unwilling to give up like this.

In a daze, Catherine found herself in front of the blood-red rattan ball again, and she immediately thought of the two powerful black shadows, and she leaned down on the crack and saw that they were only the size of a palm, and the black qi that had been cut out was scattered all over the vine ball.

Catherine reached out and touched a black gas floating near the crack, and the black gas was immediately absorbed by her own hand, and the magic power that was close to exhaustion was a little more.

Discovering this benefit, Catherine did not hesitate to put her hand into the rattan ball, just like the black shadow did at the beginning, absorbing the black qi nearby, and after the rattan did not mean to hurt herself, she became even more presumptuous and began to search the entire inside of the rattan ball.

And the influx of a large amount of magic allowed Catherine's legacy to continue, but it surprised the portraits.

The inheritance method of the Potter family is actually to turn the information preserved in the forbidden land into memories and directly add it to the brain of the inheritor, and the portrait of the patriarch who preserves the forbidden land is the carrier of the data, they control the beginning and end of the inheritance to ensure the safety of the inheritor, in addition to paying attention to the consumption of magic in the inheritor's body, but also to pay attention to the mental state of the inheritor.

After all, adding memories directly to the inheritor's brain is not only a very convenient and quick method, but also a very crazy and dangerous method, so as long as the inheritor can't accept it, it must be stopped immediately.

Although Catherine's mind has matured due to the strict and cruel training in the past, and she has more magic in her body than her peers, she definitely can't meet the requirements of the seven-petal black rose, but I don't know why the ring actually gives such an assessment.

In order to gain the upper hand in the temptation with Lucius, Catherine deliberately blocked her left hand, so without the guidance of the well-informed Malfoys, Snape did not know much about this information, and the red-haired girl, who had only been involved in the wizarding world for a year, although it was full of dangers but smooth sailing, took it for granted that she was strong enough to deal with any danger encountered in the family inheritance, and the patriarchs of the generations, who lacked information, did not realize that something was wrong until the inheritance began.

"Damn, what's going on, her magic isn't up to the mark at all, how did she get the seven-petal black rose?"

"That's not the point, we've had situations where we didn't have enough magic before, the point is how she can have a forbidden spell on her, this damn spell completely blocks our magic."

"Although she accepts it very quickly, her magic is only enough to last for an hour and a half at most, so she will not be able to complete the inheritance at all."

"Can't we speed up her acceptance any more? Let her finish it sooner. ”

"No, this speed is the most reasonable, no matter how fast it is, it will waste her magic power."

"Are you just waiting? Look at the speed at which she accepted, what a rare and good seedling she is! ”

"Ignotus, what should you do? Do you want to give up? Viktova asked anxiously.

"Let's wait and see, since the ring thinks she can get the seven-petal black rose, then she should have the ability to complete the inheritance." Ignotus said calmly.

The other portraits wanted to say something, but in the end they didn't say it.

But the miracle didn't seem to happen, and an hour later, Catherine's magic had been almost consumed, and she herself found out about the situation, and an unwilling expression appeared on her face.

Then Catherine's body suddenly erupted with two similarly powerful magical powers, which were completely mixed with the small amount of magic in her body.

If it were normal, these two magic forces that obviously did not belong to Catherine would definitely destroy her, but fortunately, the girl is now receiving a family inheritance that requires a lot of magic power, and the magic power that has just exploded is immediately consumed, and the amount of these two magic powers is fully enough to support her to accept the inheritance.

"It's really scary, and it was only at the last moment that the hidden magic burst out."

"Are you blind? Those two spells were clearly not hers. ”

"Catherine's magic is pure, but these two magic are full of evil."
