Chapter 495: The Dark Lord's Secret

No! 】

A piercing scream came from the clearing, and all the figures in the black mist rushed towards Ivan with distorted faces, enveloping Althea, Hermione, Luna and the others who had fallen to the ground before they had disappeared.

It's just that their faces are now terrifying, their expressions are distorted together, and black mist is gushing out of their eyes and mouths.

"Divine Guard!" Ivan quickly drew his wand, and the flickering white light directly tore through the black mist, and as soon as the black shadows rushed in front of him, the blinding white light melted and collapsed, and the screams stopped.

Everything around him was back to its original state, with Harry, Sirius, and Luping standing not far from him.

The Horcrux on the table dimmed, and many fine cracks appeared inside the locket, and Ivan stepped forward to pick it up and look at it, only to find that it had been damaged.

Ivan sighed, Voldemort's remnant was so deeply implicated in this magical item that it inevitably broke when destroying the remnant.

"What the hell was going on with the black fog just now? I couldn't see anything all of a sudden..."Harry didn't even understand what was going on, and looked blankly at Ivan.

"Don't worry, that fog is what this stuff did, and now I've destroyed it..."Ivan shook the locket in his hand, and then asked Harry and the others what they saw in the black fog.

All three of them shook their heads, indicating that they were trapped in a dark space, with nothing but black fog.

Ivan immediately understood that the Horcrux was using most of its power against himself, and he did not specifically target Harry and others except for reading some memories.

"Sirius, can you lend me this locket for a while?" Ivan looked at Sirius and spoke.

The locket was broken, but it was a Slytherin thing, and maybe something could be worked out.

"You're welcome, I'll send you directly!" Sirius waved his hand, not caring about the antique-looking locket.

In addition, this thing was destroyed by Ivan, and he still hasn't thanked Ivan for Regulus.

"But... Ivan, you opened this locket in snake language just now?! Sirius suddenly remembered that Ivan had made a strange note at the locket before, and asked hesitantly.

"Well, I was looking for someone to learn last school year, to be honest, it's not very difficult, many people can learn it!" Ivan looked away from the locket, sensing that Sirius was making some fuss, so he turned to Harry and continued.

"You're right? Harry! ”

"Ahh That's right, I can also snake talk. Harry hesitated for a moment, then nodded, he could communicate with snakes, and he should be considered snake language.

Sirius and Lu Ping looked at each other, snake language is quite a rare talent, and it is usually associated with dark wizards in rumors, when did it become a big road, can this thing still be learned?

"I've heard that Professor Dumbledore can speak snake too! So your ideas are so old-fashioned. It's like Sirius, your family, although there are a lot of bastards, but there are also righteous people like you and Regulus, right? Ivan explained again, dispelling their doubts.

Sirius and Lupin smiled wryly, not knowing how to refute it.

Kreacher, who was also recovering from the black fog, was staring closely at the cracked locket box in Ivan's hand, screaming excitedly.

"Sir! You destroyed it, oh my God, you really ruined it! Kreacher... Kreacher finally did what Master Regulus asked..."The old house-elf trembled, and bean-sized tears kept sliding down the corners of his eyes and dripping to the ground.

"Thank you so much... Mr! Kreacher was so excited that he stretched out his dirty hand that had wiped snot and tears, and tried to hug Ivan's thigh, but Ivan avoided him.

Sirius quickly ordered Kreacher to stand still and wait for the house-elf to calm down a little before questioning.

"Kreacher, I want to know more about Regulus, and... What happened at home after I left. ”

Kreacher sniffled, and began to tell in fits and pieces how sad the hostess and the rest of the family were when Sirius left home.

"Huh, will they be sad? Come on, it's sad that after I left, the reputational impact on the Black family was about the same... Don't think you don't know that my mother has removed me from the family tree! Sirius pursed his lips disdainfully.

Kreacher glared at him with eyes the size of a light bulb, but eventually flattened his mouth and continued to talk about the rest of the story.

Not long after Sirius left home, the Dark Lord's power grew, which attracted the attention of the Black family, who expressed great appreciation for the concept proposed by the Dark Lord, so they provided a lot of money to fund Voldemort's formation of forces.

Bellatrix joined the Death Eaters after that, and the rest of the Black family joined in, and finally Regulus!

"Young Master Regulus was very happy at that time, because the Dark Lord took a very high opinion of him and regarded him as his right-hand man, but this is also how it should be, what wizard can be as good as Young Master Regulus?" Speaking of which, Kreacher was very proud.

Sirius poured cold water on it. "That's just because Voldemort wants to win over the Black family to continue to be his pool!"

Sirius saw it very clearly, and he was very aware of his brother's abilities and talents, and would never make Voldemort take it seriously to such an extent.

So what the other party really wants is to have plenty of money and the impact of bringing Regulus Black, the heir of the oldest wizarding family, under his command.

"Sirius, you'd better say less! When will you interrupt Kreacher like this? Ivan rolled his eyes, people are dead, what else to do to correct these details?

"Okay, I'll try not to talk from now on, okay?" Sirius shrugged his shoulders and looked at Kreacher again. "Hurry up and skip these useless, you haven't told us yet, why did Regulus choose to betray Voldemort in the end?"

Kreacher shook his head blankly, it didn't know why Regulus had made such a change, but it still tried to remember.

"A year after joining the Death Eaters, the young master has changed, and he is not as happy as before..."

"He would often whisper to Kreacher, for Kreacher was a trustworthy house-elf, and Master Regulus said that the Dark Lord was going to do something different from what he thought, and that he might have done something wrong...

Then after some time, the Dark Lord personally summoned Master Regulus, and after that time, the young master stayed in the library all day and flipped through the books, and did not come out for several days. The stacks were a mess of turnovers, and Kreacher had to tidy them up every day..."

"And Master Regulus hasn't eaten properly for several days in a row... It wasn't until the evening of the sixth day that he excitedly walked out of the library and said that he had figured out the Dark Lord's secret. Kreacher recalled, intermittently.
