Chapter 55: The First Meeting
Easily planted a nail in the robber (the name of the Potter Four's small group), Wang Yi did not get too involved in the grudge struggle between Dumbledore and Mr. Tom, when the two sides of the struggle were evenly matched, the role of the neutral faction was highlighted, as long as they did not die themselves, neither side would deliberately push the neutral faction to the other side, of course, provided that there was enough strength to remain neutral.
The Black family has ancestors who have survived since the time of Merlin, and they are still students of Merlin, so this background is enough to remain neutral, and other noble families, even if they do not have such a prominent background, have some hole cards, which is why Voldemort seduces noble students, in addition to recruiting ninjas, it is also a means to buy aristocratic families, preventing them from flipping the table because someone wants to re-cut the cake of England.
Their juniors participated in a new round of cake-cutting ceremonies, and they also had the possibility of dividing interests, and the older generation of nobles turned a blind eye for the time being, anyway, it would not affect the benefits they had obtained, and then they fell deeper and deeper, and when they found that they couldn't get out, it was too late, and standing in line was never a simple matter.
Today was the first assembly of the Eye of Truth, and apart from the young werewolf and Wang Yi, there were only twelve core members here.
Gilderoy Lockhart, this is Wang Yi's preferential treatment of his little brother, I hope he will not be as unlucky as in the original book in the future. The rest are a few students that Wang Yi is actually unfamiliar with, all of whom were recommended by Lockhart, Wang Yi actually doesn't care so much about his classmates, and even the same grade students in Ravenclaw don't recognize all of them. and the only Slytherin...... Severus Snape.
"I didn't know you were coming, but I was surprised when Lockhart told me you were going to apply."
"The little man said that your club is too good, I'm a little excited, if I can improve my potion level, it's not bad to join an extra club." Snape's address to Lockhart was not too polite, and the latter could only shoot back with his eyes in front of Wang Yi.
"If your one, well, [Elder] has no opinion, I agree to your application." Wang Yi is supportive of the addition of a Potions Master, and then the problem child who becomes brain-dead due to the separation of the soul will attack Snape's unrequited love object, so that his subordinates will betray him, and Snape will definitely have another choice other than Dumbledore, with the value of a Potions Master, even if it is just a choice, it is worth it.
"Okay guys, I don't need to say anything superfluous, you are willing to join the Eye of Truth, presumably with the aim of improving your ability to explore the path of magic, and my answer is also yes, whether it is a spell or a potion or to increase the level of magic power, I can satisfy you, and I will not even force you to pay any additional price, just swear with the [Unbreakable Oath] that I will not divulge the knowledge obtained from me to any being in any way, And all the results of the information I have provided must also be sold to the Black family at a reasonable price, and you are free to do whatever you want, and of course, I will personally appreciate it if you are willing to treat the Black family with kindness in the future. ”
Judging from Wang Yi's words, this is just a very ordinary exchange of interests, or investment, using knowledge or resources that are difficult for ordinary people to obtain in exchange for the achievements of outstanding contributors in a certain field that may appear in the future, and there is more than one aristocrat doing this, and Wang Yi seems to be just repeating this process.
However, Wang Yi has advantages that others do not have, in fact, from the moment they put on the ring, there is no so-called choice, only to subtly become a servant of the demon god.
As Wang Yi's words fell, a large number of bookshelves appeared in the room of requirement, all of which were ancient books that exuded magical aura, even ordinary people would be attracted by the historical aura above, not to mention the young wizards who could understand their true value, and the heavy breathing told Wang Yi that these people had completely fallen.
"Enjoy, it's all yours!" With the backing of the Wisdom Demon God, it is not too easy to make a library, even if the power of the Demon God cannot be transmitted too far, this little bit of power is enough to explore the knowledge of the "past".
There was no hesitation, even the more impetuous Lockhart cherished the opportunity to obtain rare books, and the person who could enter Ravenclaw was not a real idiot, he just had a little more vanity than others.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Snape seems to see the golden eyeballs on the pillar statue behind Wang Yi flicker, and then ignores this small problem, nothing is strange in the wizarding world, only fascinating potions are his eternal pursuit.
"Deathly Hallows! There is a record of a Deathly Hallows! A student with white marshmallow-like hair shouted, and the others were immersed in the ocean of knowledge, ignoring the interruption.
Wang Yi felt that this young man was somewhat familiar, as if he was a student of Ravenclaw.
"Are you ......?"
"Ahh Mr. Sorenwell, I am a fourth-grader at Xenophilius, Xenophilius-Lovegood, Ravenclaw. The white-haired pro-nian replied a little nervously, after all, it was with Wang Yi's permission that he was qualified to read these materials, and it would be too bad if he was displeased with the master and forbade him to enter here again.
"It's okay, relax, I said it, as long as it's within the scope of the contract, you can do whatever you want." Wang Yi felt that the surname Lovegood was somewhat familiar, but he didn't remember where he heard it for a while, "Are you interested in deathly height?" ”
"Yes, sir, there is no wizard who is not interested in the Deathly Hallows." The white-haired youth said, "I really don't know how to describe it, oh my God, there are records of past generations of users, including the current owner!" I can't believe it's true. ”
"But that's true, and that's why I won't allow you to divulge the knowledge you've gained here, it's a storm for the wizarding world."
"Yes, sir, you are right." The young man agreed with Wang Yi's words, "Not to mention anything else, just the last two masters of the [Elder Wand], the Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald, and Headmaster Dumbledore feel incredible!" Oh my God, if people knew that the Deathly Hallows really existed, the wizarding world wouldn't have to make a big mess! ”
"That's right, especially when the two remaining Hallows owners don't have enough strength to protect their treasures."
"The owners of the other two Sacred Vessels...... Invisibility Cloak, owner of the Potter family! But the Resurrection Stone, the Gaunt family? Which family is that? I've never heard of it. ”
"The Potter family is a descendant of Ignotus Peverell, and their Cloak of Invisibility is an ancestral, true heir to the Hallows Artifact. The same goes for the Gaunt family, which belongs to the bloodline of Cadmus, the second of the Peflier family, and the name of one of the ancestors of the Gaunt family you should have heard, Salazar Slytherin, one of the founders of the school. ”
"What!"
"If you're interested, then you must also want to know who the current owner of the Resurrection Stone is, right? I'll tell you, but perhaps you'll regret knowing that the current owner of the Resurrection Stone, Tom Riddle Marvolo, the son of the Gaunt family daughter and a Muggle man, also has a name, the second Dark Lord after Gellert Grindelwald, Lord Voldemort. ”
"Oh my God! Sir, tell me these ......."
"In fact, the current owners of the Three Hallows are all relatives," Wang Yi felt that the young man's fright was not enough, and continued, "Dumbledore, our Headmaster, he is also a descendant of the three Peverell brothers, the eldest Antioch
of the children and grandchildren. ”
The white-haired young man was completely stupid, originally just planning to take a small peek at the truth of history, but it turned out that the truth was actually in the belly of a terrifying giant beast! The only thing he was glad about was that all the knowledge he had obtained here was not allowed to be passed on, and the existence that represented the black horror outside would not know what was happening here, and would not be in danger of being wiped out.
Behind the white-haired youth, Severus Snape, who had his back to Wang Yi and the others, quietly looked at the method of making some lost potions in his hand, but the shock in his eyes was no less than that of Xenophilius Lovegood, if not more.
Turning to leave, Wang Yi had an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, and the eyes of Mora behind him also shrank, as if he was mocking something
