Chapter 42: The Story

Ning An gently closed the book and closed his eyes quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

This "The Story of the Poet Bean" is very strange, there is a sixth story, so is it because Ning An knew it wrong, or is this one a different version from the one Dumbledore left to Hermione later.

Ning An had no intention of dwelling more in this regard, this discovery gave him great excitement, this could not be a trap left by Voldemort, Voldemort himself did not know the existence of the resurrection stone, and he also made the Gaunt ring inlaid with the resurrection stone into a horcrux.

Then the story at the end of this book is priceless for Ning An!

"The door of life and death? Is it the true function of the Resurrection Stone to allow the living to pass through the door of life and death? Ning An muttered to himself, and slowly took the book "The Story of the Poet Bean" into his arms.

"But what is the matter with raising the dead, are there two resurrection stones?"

In the midst of this constant speculation, Ning An rummaged through the remaining books that might be useful to him, and to his disappointment, there was no other book that mentioned the Deathly Hallows, or the Resurrection Stone.

However, the sixth story of the poet Bedou is already a great harvest, and seeing the hope of resurrecting Calidora, Ning An felt a little joy in his heart.

He straightened his robes, tightened his wand in his hand, and prepared to leave.

The reason why he was on guard was because he was guarding against Baron William, he didn't know William's thoughts, but he had to be on guard against possible attacks from anger or hatred by the other party when he broke into someone's house like this.

Walking down the narrow, suffocating stone passage and stepping up the stone steps, Ning An walked out of the secret room, and as expected, Baron William was waiting at the door, and next to him stood the ghoul who had been stunned by Ning An.

Ning An looked at Baron William with an expressionless face, as if he was looking at a dead man.

Seeing his expression, Baron William hurriedly explained:

"Forgive me for being rude just now—"

"Why do you have to ally with me?" Ning An interrupted him lightly and asked directly.

William, who was interrupted from speaking, smiled bitterly, his Adam's apple squirmed a few times, and finally sighed, and said with a little helplessness:

"A lot of reasons... It's been too long since I've touched the wizarding world..., I've only got ten years to live, I'm weak—and importantly, I know we have enemies in common. ”

"Voldemort's enemies are too numerous to count." Ning An's cold voice caused the temperature in the room to drop.

"But I only know you......"

"I'll seek revenge on Voldemort, but not now, and if you want to get involved, don't think about an alliance." Ning An stood there, his eyes unblinked, and his voice said to William without the slightest fluctuation:

"You have to obey me."

Looking at Ning An's eyes, William understood that this was his last chance to communicate with the little wizard in front of him, and the other party would not give him a second chance, and he believed that every word Ning An said was extremely serious.

He could only obey, as a vampire whose strength had been weakened to the extreme, why should he be hostile to the once famous Dark Lord. Even if the other party is also weak, it can't work!

The baron pondered, but he had already seen an impatient look on Ning An's face. Not daring to hesitate any longer, he got down on one knee, made a vampire servant to show respect to his master, and said softly:

"Me, William? Ralph? Baron Lesembra, willing to obey you, great wizard. ”

"My name is Ning An."

"Yes, Lord Ning'an."

Ning An looked at William coldly, and did not show any pleasure because the other party expressed his submission, still in a cold voice, he asked

"What can you do?"

William's face showed a trace of embarrassment, and he agitated the Adam's apple, which seemed to be a little difficult to speak, and finally had to bite the tongue and said hesitantly:

"Because... Because, the reason why I didn't complete the new life...... My weakness has not been alleviated......"

"I asked what you could do." Ning An interrupted him directly again, and he began to feel that this old man was a little long-winded.

Seeing Ning An's impatient appearance again, Baron William didn't dare to rap anymore, he could only say honestly:

"I can be a bat...... And then, more agile than the average person - I think I'll be able to regain some strength! ”

"What about magic?" Ning An asked with an unchanged expression.

"I can't use wizard magic...... Vampires have some special mystical spells - but I don't have many in my body anymore... The magic remains. ”

The baron lowered his head, he looked very ashamed, indeed, even if he went to be a pet for a wizard with such strength, the other party might not agree.

"Got it." Ning An was still expressionless, neither looking frustrated nor disgusted, he just said lightly:

"Maybe I'll come to you in a while."

With that, he turned and walked out the door.

"That's right," Ning An suddenly turned around again halfway through, he calmly looked at the ghoul who was in a daze beside William, and asked:

"What's the matter with ghouls."

Seeing that Ning An stopped suddenly, Baron William thought that something was wrong, and when he heard that he was asking the ghoul, he sighed and sighed with some emotion:

"It must have been changed by some servant of mine during my lifetime, but I don't recognize it anymore...... Now I call him a squirrel. ”

Nodding, Ning An didn't say anything more, he walked out of the door, mounted a broomstick, and left the Ralph Mansion.

When Ning An returned to Shafiq's house, it was already night. There is no light in the huge mansion, and it looks like a haunted house.

Pushing the door open, the empty hallway was filled with the sound of hard objects hitting the walls and sobbing. It was Sarah clumsily punishing herself with her skinny little head.

"Useless Sarah - Sarah is a piece of shit."

Ning An walked slowly, and he looked at the house-elf sitting on the ground with an expressionless face, constantly banging his head against the wall.

"Stop." Ning An said softly.

But Sarah, as if she had not seen him at all, still sobbed, mechanically punishing herself by the pain.

"It's all petrified." Without hesitation, he raised his wand, and a ray of light struck Sarah, the elf who had been hit by the Bondage Spell, motionless and frozen in place.

"No, Ning An, you shouldn't be like this..."Daphne turned out from behind the stairs, she looked a little haggard, and now she shook her head and looked at Ning An with a sad expression.

"You don't have to do this to her... She's Calidora's—" Daphne's words came to an abrupt end, and Ning An calmly reached out and made a "silence" gesture to her.

Looking at Ning An with some pain, she didn't know why her former friend had become so strange, which made her heart feel as uncomfortable as a knife.

Ning An slowly crouched down, making his body as tall as a petrified elf. An indifferent voice rang out in the dark corridors

"Let's make a deal, Sarah."

With a casual finger, the bondage spell on Sarah's body has been undone.

The house-elf's eyes were full of pain, anger, unwillingness, and so on, she glared at Ning An, and after a moment turned around and wanted to run away.

But someone grabbed the hand.

"Let go of Sarah—let go—you murderers—and go out with your master, only to come back with hers, her body—"

Tears flowed from Sarah's big ugly eyes, and she screamed hysterically.

But Ning An, who grabbed her hand, did not react.

"Daphne, can I ask you for something?"

Ignoring the crying Sarah, Ning An looked up and said calmly to Daphne.

This calmness felt strange to Daphne and frightened her, but she still nodded subconsciously.

"Okay, I want you to be my witness to my oath." As he spoke, he tapped his wand lightly at the hand holding Sarah, and a burst of white mist erupted from the wand, slowly wrapping around Ning An and the elf's arms like a rope.

"It's... It was," Daphne thought it was some kind of magic she had heard of.

Sarah also stopped crying, and she stared blankly at her arm wrapped in white mist, as if she remembered something.

"Sarah, I swear, I'm going to give everything I have just to bring Calidora back to life, and I'll give everything for it-"

Ning An's tone did not fluctuate in the slightest, but it was full of firmness, and as he spoke, the white mist became thicker and thicker, and it had almost begun to condense into liquid.

"Daphne, you are a witness."

"Ah...... Yes, it is. Daphne was still shocked by what Ning An said! She wondered if she had misheard, what? Resurrection of Calidora?

"Well, then—the curse is done."

As the sound settled, the mist shrank suddenly, as if it was about to burrow into the skin of the two, diluted wildly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, and in the dark, there seemed to be a sound of a gavel striking.

Ning An didn't pay any attention to Sarah, who was stunned, he stood up and walked calmly to the study.

"Wait—wait, Ning An, was that an unbreakable curse just now? What did you say? Do you want to-" Daphne seemed to wake up suddenly, she ran all the way, chased Ning An to the study, and asked impatiently.

"Are you crazy? Resurrection? She gasped, looking extremely anxious, and then she took a few deep breaths, calmed her emotions, and slowly said to Ning An:

"Ning An, I know that the matter of Calidora has hit you hard, and I am just as painful about it."

Daphne's face was even paler, and she had been unable to sleep for days and nights since Calidora's death.

"But you can't bring the dead back to life, Ning'an, wake up."

"Have you heard the story of the three brothers?" Ning An sat behind the desk, opened a book for a long time, and spoke softly to Daphne, only then did his voice regain some temperature.

Daphne looked inexplicable. Ning An continued, "There are three extremely powerful deathly artifacts in this world, the Elder Wand. Cloak of Invisibility and Resurrection Stone. ”

"Resurrection Stone?" Daphne heard the key at once.

"But I'm afraid that's just the story—"

"The Resurrection Stone really exists." Ning An waved his hand, not letting Daphne continue, he said lazily:

"Choose, Daphne, help me—or leave me. Don't try to change me. His tone suddenly became low, and then he whispered in a voice that seemed to be heard only by himself:

"I'm sorry..."

Daphne looked at Ning An in a daze, she shook her head, as if she wanted to sober herself up, but her brain became more and more chaotic, her breathing became chaotic, and she stumbled

"This, this is too sudden - you know, Ning An, so many things have happened lately - you, I don't know, I have to think about it, okay, give me time to think about it." Daphne had confusion and pleading in her eyes.

"Got it, I'll give you time." Ning An nodded, and with deep eyes, silently watched Daphne's disappearing back.
