Chapter 439: Another Deal with the Underworld Forces
In the quiet of summer, the sky is full of stars and the moonlight is pouring down like flowing water.
No one saw how Voldemort had entered, but he seemed to be standing in the moonlight.
Zhang Xu and Voldemort confronted each other on the grass in front of Dumbledore's tomb, paying full attention to each other's every move.
A cool breeze blew from the Forbidden Forest, and there were no fallen leaves that came with the wind, and the fireflies that had been flying around were gone, along with Hagrid, who had been beaten to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
Voldemort seemed to be just casually appearing on the grass, and every part of his body seemed to be flawed, and Zhang Xu's magic seemed to be able to summon him casually.
However, too many flaws have turned into no flaws.
Zhang Xu could feel that as long as he made a move, the next moment he would summon Voldemort to attack as fiercely as a super typhoon durian.
So he responded to all changes with the same change, the enemy did not move, I did not move, and dragged the battle into the bladder bureau, at this time, the two people who smiled were the first to lose first.
However, for Voldemort, the Bladder Bureau didn't exist, and he just took a moment to scout the surroundings to see if there was an ambush.
So, Voldemort moved first.
Voldemort's right hand holding the wand raised at lightning speed, and a red spell shot straight at Zhang Xu from the tip of the wand in his hand.
At this time, Voldemort, Zhang Xu and Dumbledore's tomb happened to form a three-point line, if Zhang Xu dodged this spell, then the spell cast by Voldemort would hit Dumbledore's tomb.
Voldemort asked Zhang Xu whether to take the blow himself or dodge it himself, and then caused Dumbledore's tomb to be damaged.
Zhang Xu made his choice without hesitation, he narrowly dodged the blow with a side step, and then released a large fireball that emitted a blinding light and smashed it at Voldemort.
Taizu taught us: save people and lose land, people and land exist; If the land is lost, the people and the land are lost.
Zhang Xu would not sacrifice himself to protect his tomb out of respect for Dumbledore.
So Voldemort's careful thinking fell through.
A "boom" sound came from behind Zhang Xu, although he didn't turn his head to look, but from the location where the explosion sound came from, he could tell that something was blocking Voldemort's spell in front of Dumbledore's tomb.
Although Grindelwald was old and almost killed by Voldemort before, when Dumbledore's tomb was threatened, he would let people know that the old dog still had a few teeth.
A large fireball that emitted a dazzling light blocked Voldemort's vision, and he waved his wand unhurriedly, and an earthen wall rose in front of him, blocking the large fireball sent by Zhang Xu.
There was no expected explosion, just like a soap bubble bursting with a "pop", and the fireball that was strong on the outside and dry on the outside dissipated.
Voldemort's heart moved, and his whole person scurried backwards like a snake.
In the next second, a huge flaming palm fell from the sky and smashed into the position where Voldemort was standing just now.
The brief confrontation was over, and after the dust settled, Voldemort's attention was focused on Zhang Xu's right hand.
Grindelwald on the side also noticed the wand Zhang Xu used tonight, counted the expressions on his face, and then sighed deeply, and finally stood by Dumbledore's tombstone and quietly looked at the two people in front of him.
Zhang Xu sighed secretly, Voldemort stopped after being attracted by the Elder Wand, then there was something to talk about.
He didn't mind handing over the Elder Wand to Voldemort. Voldemort issued a mission to find the Elder Wand in front of Grindelwald that day, and Dumbledore naturally got the news from Grindelwald afterwards. Dumbledore's knowing that he still gave his wand to him means that he didn't mind, and maybe even liked to see the Elder Wand end up in Voldemort's hands.
And Zhang Xu naturally knew that the Elder Wand was a big pit for Voldemort, and he didn't mind Voldemort jumping into this pit with a smile.
This is a good time for Voldemort to know that the Elder Wand is in his hands. It was normal for Voldemort to use his "best" weapon against him.
"Elder Wand!" Voldemort said with a hint of excitement.
He was a little surprised when he felt a little tricky when he fought with Zhang Xu, but he was relieved when he saw the wand in Zhang Xu's hand.
Voldemort also looked at Grindelwald, and after seeing the expression on his face and the last sigh, he confirmed that Zhang Xu was holding the wand he needed.
At this time, Voldemort's heart became hot, a student who has not yet graduated can fight with himself with the Elder Wand, so if the Elder Wand is in his hand, then he is not invincible in the world.
"Ask for it, Mr. Zhang." Voldemort said to Zhang Xu.
"This is the relic that Dumbledore gave me." Zhang Xu replied.
"I think I'll satisfy you on my terms." Voldemort began to bargain with Zhang Xu.
"Dumbledore was an elder I held in great esteem, and this wand is a sign of how much I miss him." Zhang Xu withdrew his hand, looked at the old wand in his hand affectionately and said.
"I'll make a condition that you can't refuse." Voldemort immediately opened the conditions to the top, and if Zhang Xu didn't agree, he could only do it.
✌( ̄ω ̄) "If you agree to my two terms, then I can lend you the Elder Wand for free until the end of your life and that of either of you, or me, and whoever is still alive will belong to whomever is alive." ”
Voldemort pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Please." ”
Zhang Xu glanced back at Dumbledore's tomb and said, "Human death is empty, and you must ensure that no people, creatures or objects disturb Dumbledore's sleep." ”
Voldemort raised his eyebrows, then nodded and said, "I can promise that." ”
Then Zhang Xu continued: "I know that sooner or later you will control the Ministry of Magic, so when you take control of the Ministry of Magic, help me set up a lawsuit to return a stolen item to its original owner, and then make the owner of that item have to sell the item to me for a hundred Galleons." ”
Voldemort smiled, and he suddenly realized that the young man across from him who dared to talk and laugh with him was quite suitable to take over his class.
Grindelwald, who was eating melons on the side, wondered why this thing hadn't been expelled by Dumbledore.
"Well, I'll promise you both." Voldemort said.
"Then let's make an unbreakable vow." Zhang Xu said after stretching out his right hand.
Voldemort squinted at Zhang Xu, and then walked over to Zhang Xu.
Because there was a clause to protect Dumbledore's grave, Grindelwald agreed to Zhang Xu's request to use his Elder Wand as a witness for this flawed oath without even thinking about it.
Voldemort immediately saw the loophole in Zhang Xu's conditions, Zhang Xu did not ask himself to guarantee his safety, so as long as he desperately exchanged the lives of his own children for Zhang Xu's life after getting the Elder Wand, then this oath naturally collapsed.
Grindelwald even wondered if he wanted to help Zhang Xu block the spell if he waited for Voldemort to turn his face on the spot, in exchange for Dumbledore's sleep.
When the people of the Order of the Phoenix arrived after receiving Hagrid's alarm, they saw the establishment of an unbreakable oath that had never been seen before.
Voldemort, who had taken the Elder Wand from Grindelwald's hand, had the idea of killing Zhang Xu immediately, but at the same time as this thought arose, he felt in his heart that something extremely dangerous was about to happen.
So Voldemort put away his thoughts, ignored the people of the Order of the Phoenix who entered the battle state behind him, and took off on the spot and left Hogwarts.
Zhang Xu stretched out a left hand that was tucked into his sleeve, dialed the safety on the fuse on his thumb to the "safe" position, and then put away the large piece of things. If Voldemort were to make a move just now, he would let go at the same time as activating the insole doorkey, and the fuse would activate at the same time.
Zhang Xu didn't bother to say anything to the people of the Order of the Phoenix now, and after saying hello to Grindelwald, he activated the insole doorkey and left.
Many years later, Zhang Xu's two daughters who attended Hogwarts read about this history from "Hogwarts, A School History", and they both asked him when they came home from vacation, and at that time he was afraid that Voldemort would turn his face in the next moment.
When answering this question to his daughter, Zhang Xu always replied while gesturing his left hand: "If Voldemort had dared to turn his face immediately, he would have known what it was like for a fist-sized C4 studded with steel balls to explode next to him." ”
