Chapter 275: Face-to-face
Looking at Lucius's serious, yet serious expression.
Dumbledore smiled slightly, made a gesture of please, and welcomed Lucius in.
"Lucius, I never thought you would be in the same league as Lord Voldemort. Obviously, you didn't let me down. Dumbledore looked pleased.
He even took out a box of multi-flavored beans from the table and handed it to Lucius, who was a little flattered.
"Every multi-flavored bean, you don't know what it tastes like until you eat them. This is just like our life, only after tasting the ups and downs will we know what we should cherish. Dumbledore popped one out of the box and put it in his mouth as he spoke, smiling, "Beef!" ”
Watching Dumbledore's movements, Lucius also picked up a multi-flavored bean. But instead of eating, he thought about how he could make himself more valuable, rather than throwing away the rags when he ran out.
"Headmaster, I know where Voldemort is," Lucius said, looking at Dumbledore. I saw that Dumbledore was chewing on multi-flavored beans, and his expression was smiling, as if he didn't care about the topic at all.
"This old fox really doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't scatter an eagle!" When Lucius saw it, he cursed in his heart.
It is obviously impossible to say that Dumbledore did not care about Voldemort's situation. Lucius believed that Dumbledore would have been able to guess his intentions through his late-night visit, and that his quiet expression was probably just a ploy.
"Voldemort is now hiding on the outskirts of New York, where he is sheltered by his ally Magneto. I can take you to him, Voldemort's current hiding place has been covered with a large area of hidden magic. If it weren't for my guidance, even if someone passed by, they wouldn't have found his lair. Lucius bit down heavily on the word lead as he spoke.
The implication is that if you don't agree to some of my conditions, you won't want to find Voldemort for the rest of your life.
"Lucius, did you know that I'm a Potions Master?" Listening to Lucius's words, Snape took two steps forward and threatened softly.
"Don't push me, Snape." Lucius's face remained unchanged and looked at Dumbledore on the side: "Since I dare to come here, I am fully prepared." If you think the elixir works, I can give it to you! ”
Lucius replied firmly, making Snape frown for a moment.
"Alright, Snape!" Dumbledore waved his hand, turned to look at Lucius, and asked, "How can we believe you, believe that what you say is true." Instead of using us to set a trap for Voldemort? ”
Hearing Dumbledore's words, Lucius replied without thinking, "I am willing to hand over my memories, and I can also make an oath." And my son is in your hands, do you think that I will make fun of my own son? ”
The Malfoy family is a large pure-blooded family. However, in this generation, Lucius, as the head of the family, has only one son, Draco.
If you look at the past, Lucius's usual style will know.
Lucius loved his son more than he loved himself. Again, this is the fundamental reason why Dumbledore has always believed that Lucius will not always be loyal to Voldemort.
A man who does not want his own son to join the ranks of the Death Eaters. If you are loyal to Voldemort, it is undoubtedly a big joke.
Between Voldemort and Lucius, the relationship of interest is far greater than worship.
It is precisely because they are united because of interests that Dumbledore believes that Lucius will also give up Voldemort because of interests, and even jump on it and step on it.
"Say, what do you want?" Dumbledore looked at Lucius with a smile and a wise look in his eyes.
Lucius thought quietly for a while, and said in a deep voice: "First, I want to protect my family, and you can't trouble me afterwards because I once worked for Voldemort. Second, I want you to make a public statement after you have destroyed Voldemort that I, like Snape, am your undercover agent with Voldemort, not a Death Eater or a sinner. ”
"Third, I have an ally who also plays on Voldemort's side. You're going to give him the same treatment, and I promise that when you attack Voldemort, he'll fight back. ”
Lucius finished all his terms in one breath.
Among these conditions, there is nothing particularly harsh. However, as long as Dumbledore agreed to come down, Lucius became a complete undercover agent. Not only can you pick up all the crimes committed by yourself and the Death Eaters, or the Death Eaters. And he can be recognized by everyone as a second Snape, as a model of lying on the back and trying his courage.
"Snape, what do you think of these conditions?" After listening to Lucius's three conditions, Dumbledore did not immediately agree or refute, but looked at Snape on the side.
Snape worked hard by Voldemort's side for more than twenty years, and only now has he been able to clear his grievances. If Lucius's request is easily agreed, then Lucius, the real Death Eater, will receive the same treatment as Snape in the future, which is strictly speaking, very unfair.
"It's fair, as long as you can catch Voldemort, any sacrifice is worth it!" The expression on Snape's face remained the same for years, and he could hear Dumbledore, who was concerned about his own feelings. But for Snape, catching Voldemort is the most important thing, and all other issues are trivial.
Receiving Snape's understanding, Dumbledore smiled and nodded, and replied, "Lucius, I agreed to your request. Once you've eliminated Voldemort, you'll return to the wizarding world as a hero, including your friend. ”
"Well, I'm willing to give my memories and help you find Voldemort!" Lucius nodded silently, pulled his wand from his bosom, and pointed it at his temple.
Silvery-white magical light emanated from the tip of the wand.
The light traveled down Lucius's wand to his brain, pulling silver threads out of it.
These memories that Lucius had extracted were properly put into a bottle.
Dumbledore shook the bottle in his hand and led the two to the basin of memory.
"Boom!" The bottle full of memories slid from Dumbledore's hand into the magic basin, and then it was like a chemical reaction, and the silver filaments in the bottle quickly merged with the water in the magic basin.
Sign the contract, only by signing an unbreakable contract can we really be united
Voldemort is no longer good, we should plan for ourselves, not die with Voldemort, or be a rat who can't see the light
I went to Hogwarts to find Dumbledore, and only if Dumbledore opened his mouth could we keep our family
Ovbaro, you have to stay here, and you can't go there. You've got to cover for me and buy me time, or we're total
Memories are transformed into patterns in the magic pot.
Dumbledore looked at the images in front of him, which included the oath of Lucius and Offballo, as well as the betrayal of Voldemort. There's Lucius' scolding of Voldemort, and there's an image of him breaking into Hogwarts.
"Do you believe it now?" After reading the memories in the magic basin, Lucius raised his hands and laughed, "If you still don't believe it, then I can only become a prisoner!" Anyway, Draco and I are in your hands, and it's up to you to decide what you want to do. ”
Listening to Lucius's self-deprecating words, Dumbledore and Snape glanced at each other and nodded in agreement.
"Come with me, I'll take you to meet someone." Dumbledore took his wizarding hat and turned to head out the door.
"See whom?" Lucius asked.
"King of the Rising Sun"
