Chapter 43: Change
After Daphne left, Ning quietly opened the book on the table.
It was a pure black notebook, yes, the notes cursed by Voldemort.
In fact, the Dark Lord did not completely deceive Ning An, although he insidiously left a vicious curse on the notebook, but in the same way, this notebook did record a lot of magic and knowledge that the Dark Lord mastered.
"Imperius Curse... Drill Heart Mantra..."
Ning An whispered, and the names of the unforgivable spells, like the whispers of resentful spirits, came out of his mouth, as if because of these terrible spells, the temperature in the room began to drop.
"And thisβAvada's life." There was a hint of tremor in the cold tone that Ning An himself could not detect, the killing curse, this is a spell that purely acts on killing, and the only ability of this spell is to kill the target.
It's cruel and terrifying magic.
Ning An slowly closed the note, he put his hands on the notebook, closed his eyes slightly, looked quite tired, he raised his head and opened his eyes, but stared at the ceiling blankly.
Once there was also some crazy pursuit of these magic, longing for them, but now when these terrifying spells were in his hands, Ning An never imagined that his mood would become so different.
No cravings, no obsessions, let alone madness. It's like using a spoon to eat, a teacup to drink, and putting on your shoes when you go out.
These spells are now no different from spoons, teacups, and leather shoes, though they are so horrific that they can even kill people in pain without mercy.
But Ning An was extremely calm, very strangely calm, not only without joy, but also without guilt, and would not regret his decision to use all the unforgivable spells.
"Boom"
There was a deafening thunder outside the window, and the heavy rain came after a fraction of a second, instantly covering the sky and the earth, and the sound of rain splashing, mixed with thunder, closed people's hearings, this kind of noisy moment, but made Ning An feel unexpectedly quiet.
He grabbed a delicate silver earring, held it tightly in his hand, and came to the windowsill, where he suddenly felt that he had a little liking such a rainy day.
Gently break open the round earrings, and the joints are sharp pin-like clasps, which reflect a dazzling silver light under the light of lightning that slashes from time to time.
"Poof" was the sound of a needle piercing into the flesh, and the bright red blood flowed down the earlobe onto the silver earring, and then condensed into a large drop, crushing to the ground like a red tear.
"Healing as new"
With a slight swing of the wand, the wound on the left earlobe healed instantly, except for a delicate silver round earring there.
That used to be Calidora's favorite earrings.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Ever since Ning An and Sarah had formed a strange unbreakable spell, Sarah had changed, and instead of frantically punishing herself, she cried quietly day and night, though she remained silent and ignored Ning An and Daphne to a certain extent.
But she began to do housework, and she began to clean up Shafiq's old house again, and although Ning An rarely saw this house-elf, when it was time to eat, there would always be dishes on the table that were not sumptuous but delicious.
Daphne found Ning An early the next morning, and she sensitively noticed that Ning An had a beautiful small silver earring on her left ear.
Evil - this is Daphne's first feeling, she looked at Ning An standing there, neither angry nor laughing, neither sad nor happy, just looking at herself with a faint expression, and her temperament, which has become more and more gloomy in recent days, will be slightly restrained when facing Daphne.
But when you first look at it, you still think that what you see is not a person, but a poisonous snake that chooses to devour people, he is always so calm before killing, but you don't know when, you will suffer a fatal blow.
"That's ......"
"Calidora's earrings." Ning An said quietly.
Seeing that he seemed to have no intention of talking about this, Daphne stopped asking, she moved her throat, and suddenly felt a little dry in her throat, and she was a little nervous and a little strange about what she was about to say, and she thought that she must be crazy to say this:
"Let's resurrect Calidora."
When the words came out, she felt a sense of relief in her heart, and Daphne knew that she was saying her truest thoughts.
This is not some whimsical or idiot's dream, she is also the same as Ning An, inexplicably lost her best friend, which is unacceptable to her, and when Ning An said the words "Resurrection Stone", resurrect Calidora.
The thought devoured Daphne the Devil like a wild weed, and hope could be the best or the most terrible, for no one could resist the temptation it brings, even if it was just a glimmer of hope that was elusive and unattainable.
"Good."
Without superfluous words, as if he had expected the other party to say this, Ning soothed the edge of his robe and replied simply. I don't know when it started, but he put on a black robe that belonged to a wizard again.
"Soβwhat are we going to do?"
"I'm going to go around the forest, do you want to come along?" Ning An smiled at Daphne when she said this, which made the latter a little dazed, she couldn't remember that this was the first time Ning An had smiled these days, maybe not more than three times.
"Of course."
After gladly agreeing, the two wizards walked out of Shafiq's old house.
There were trees on all sides, and the two of them went in one direction into the forest, perhaps because it had rained, and the air in the forest seemed very fresh, which made Daphne's brain clear.
The refreshing cool air rushed from her nostrils to her lungs, which made her depressed mood a lot better recently.
After the rain, the mud in the woods was soaked by the rain and became muddy, and in many places it became a small puddle of water, where many animals drank after the morning, and the passage of the two scared away a few fawns and macaques.
"What are you going to do here?"
Daphne stepped over a small mud pond one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the soft soil was soaked by the rain into a small swamp-like terrain, making it more difficult to pass.
However, Ning An didn't care about the mud and sewage staining his shoes or clothes, as if he hadn't noticed the change in the road surface, and just walked forward in silence.
Hearing Daphne's question, Ning An didn't answer, he just made a "shhhhhhhhh
Daphne followed Ning An's line of sight, and saw that not far in front of the two of them, a small snake about three feet long was crawling on the edge of a puddle, this is a bright poisonous snake, although it is not large, but the complex and gorgeous patterns on its body remind all creatures that it is poisonous, and it is extremely poisonous.
But this poisonous snake, which was supposed to be a predator, seemed to have encountered a natural predator at this moment, and its sensitive sixth sense seemed to have sensed that there were ill-intentioned people around it.
At this time, it is coiling its body slightly, twisting its tail into a ball, its body erect, "hissing" and spitting snake letters, constantly perceiving its surroundings.
Daphne saw that Ning An had already pointed her wand at the little snake at this time, she didn't know what the fate of the poisonous snake would be, but she subconsciously shivered, and a bad premonition appeared in her heart.
What spell does Ning An want to cast on a snake? Daphne couldn't figure it out, but the next moment she heard the sound of a spell that sent chills through her heart.
"Drill your heart and dig your bones-" As Ning An's emotionless voice sounded, a red light flashed, instantly hitting the poisonous snake.
Immediately, the viper rolled violently, twisting its body as if trying to break it, and it even stood upside down entirely, with its head down, and its sharp tail twitching and reaching into the sky, but still writhing in pain.
"Hmm-"
Daphne subconsciously wanted to scream, but she immediately covered her mouth with her hand, and beads of sweat quickly seeped out of her forehead, as if it was not a poisonous snake that was tormented by the Piercing Heart Curse, but herself.
It could be seen that she tried her best to calm her emotions and wanted to say something, but her throat kept agitating but she couldn't say a word.
Daphne felt that this moment had passed incomparably longer, as if every second had been dismantled and spent as if it were a day, and the tightness in her chest was almost suffocating her.
Finally, Ning An put down his wand, and the viper's body loosened, but it was still twitching and writhing. Daphne felt her body finally relax, and she gulped in the air, controlling herself not to pay attention to the venomous snake that she didn't know if it was dead or alive.
"You... What are you doingβ" Trembling, Daphne asked in a tone of fear that she had never felt before
"Ning'an... You, you just used the - Unforgivable Curse!? She screamed and shouted, perhaps to release the pent-up fear in her heart, and she didn't know if she would faint if she didn't shout.
"Ah, yes, the Mind Curse." Ning An lowered his hands, pinched his wand and slowly walked towards the still twisting viper.
"Why, ...... do this"
Daphne watched as Ning An raised her wand again and aimed it at the dying viper on the ground.
"I'm practicing spellsβ"
said it naturally, without the slightest hesitation, as if Ning An was just narrating something as simple as eating and drinking.
"Avada Lives"
A bright green light lit up the forest, and Daphne heard a cacophony of noises, and she closed her eyes pierced by the light, and when she opened them again, the serpents on the ground were no longer writhing.
It didn't have any scars on its surface, but it lay there motionless, and Daphne knew it was dead.
"It's not a pretty spell." Ning An looked at Daphne and said softly, "Maybe you shouldn't follow." β
Daphne's eyes were closed, and a look of pain and struggle appeared on her face, as if all this was a little difficult for her to accept.
"Things have changed, Daphne." Ning An put away his wand and raised his feet to continue walking
"It's not like wandering around Hogwarts in the middle of the night β we're not going to do the same games anymore."
"I know." Daphne opened her eyes, a calm look in her eyes again, and she spoke a little tiredly but firmly:
"I'll get used to it - give me some time - I will."
