Xiwen frowned, and read softly the title of the book on the spine in Runi -

"The Legend of the Three Brothers."

I don't know if it's the same name or if it's such a coincidence, its name is exactly the same as the name of the last story in the "Poet Bean Tales".

What's more, after being told by the Dark Knight, the story of the three brothers has really happened even though it has been artistically processed, it is the story of the Peverell brothers fighting against death!

So why did the Greengrass family put this legendary story in such an important position in the center of the library?

Xiwen took the book "The Legend of the Three Brothers" from the shelf.

The book is a dull gray-brown color overall, and the packaging is bound with strings, which makes it look very old. Because the pages of thread-bound books are prone to breakage, they usually need to be placed flat on the shelves or collected. However, this one has not been well preserved, but stands on the bookshelf like a gel-bound book.

So, when Shewin took the book off the shelf, he saw that some of the cords had broken off.

The whole book is not thick, and the top of the book is covered with dust, and it seems that no one has read it for a long time. Xiwen opened the book, and with the yellowed pages that came into view, there was a smell of decay.

Not surprisingly, the entire book is written in ancient runi language, and the content is basically the same as the story in the "Poet Bedou Tales", but with a lot of added details.

It turned out that the Grim Reaper at that time not only left a mark of borrowed power on many believers themselves, but also left a mark of inheritance that could be inherited by future generations. In this way, the families of the most loyal Death believers will be left with the ability to borrow power from the Grim Reaper!

"The Point Guard Is Here"

According to the records in the book, it can be concluded that this kind of mark is not inherited by every descendant of those families, and it is often every few decades that a young wizard with the most outstanding magical talent among the heirs of the corresponding family inherits the power of the Death Mark, and gradually transforms the wizard's body through the power of the Death Remembrance from an early age.

Shewin turned to the last page of the book and looked at it with a daze at the many families that had been regarded as faithful by the Grim Reaper.

Most of those families have long since disappeared into history, but one of them stands out with a familiar name - Greengrass.

It turns out that the so-called "curse of death" does not only refer to the difficulty of healing the family blood curse of the Greengrass family, but also refers to the mark left by the god of death in a literal sense!

Xiwen silently opened a dimensional door, going back and forth to every pure-blood family library under his control, plus the forbidden section of the Hogwarts Library, and the small library left by Lady Ravenclaw in the Room of Requirement, spending more than half a month consulting many family directories recorded in "The Legend of the Three Brothers".

Following the various materials and information about the Grim Reaper, as well as the historical materials left by the various subordinate families of the Grim Reaper that he had just inquired about, Xiwen gradually restored a truth that had been buried in the long river of time in a long way-

More than a thousand years ago, in the early Middle Ages, when the Dark Knight lived, the Grim Reaper invaded the world.

The strength of the Grim Reaper is too strong for humans to compete with, and he can also use necromancy to drive all living beings in the world at will, making it even more difficult for humans to resist. And rebellion against his existence is often brutally made into imps from which he cannot be freed, and is forever suppressed on the cloak of the god of death.

Therefore, most humans at that time could not raise any thoughts of rebellion against this demon god at all.

Even those ancestors who adhered to the inheritance of mankind and persevered in the fight against death to the end with noble character, while saying that we would definitely win the final victory, at the same time, they never dared to hope that they would truly succeed; When they went forward and sacrificed, they never knew if their sacrifice would be exchanged for the desired result.

In the context of the world's devastation, it is more like a fool's dream to be able to win in the end!

In this desperate mood, more and more human beings, under the instinct of survival, choose to become believers or servants of the god of death, to be a groveling slave, as if in this way they can save their lives.

The Grim Reaper is also very generous, leaving a mark on the faithful servants and believers that they can borrow their own power, and then let them use it to defeat those who are desperately fighting.

Just when everyone saw no hope of victory and thought that human society would fall to the rule of death, the three Peverell brothers were born and showed great energy.

The three of them won the admiration of the Grim Reaper with their powerful abilities and obtained extremely high positions under the command of the Grim Reaper.

In fact, after years of observation, the three Peverell brothers have learned that it is difficult for humans to defeat the powerful Grim Reaper with their own strength. So the three of them lurked under the command of the Grim Reaper, and with the help of the loophole in the power that the Grim Reaper gave to the believers, they created or transformed three Deathly Hallows.

Contrary to what the Dark Knight says, it's not just the Peverell brothers who are actually lurking under the Grim Reaper's command to resist, but also many ancient families.

Among them, the Greengrass family, as an ancient family that rose in a green meadow in the country, together with many ancient families, reached a consensus with the three Peverell brothers, ostensibly obeying the orders of the god of death and pointing the blade at the same kind. In fact, it is to endure humiliation and sacrifice everything for the future of mankind!

Eventually, a large number of their families were honored by the Grim Reaper, and even a small number of them received the Grim Reaper's Mark that could be passed on to future generations.

Finally, one day, the three Peverell brothers took out the Deathly Hallows, and Antioch, the elder, used his wand to cast magic in the dark enchantment where the Grim Reaper suppressed the magic; The second Cadmus uses the Resurrection Stone to awaken the former consciousness of the controlled humans and ghosts, so that they can rebel against the brutal demon god; The third elder, Ignotus, used the spatial ability of the invisibility cloak to seal the Grim Reaper in another dimension.

With the cooperation of various ancient families, mankind has achieved its ambition and achieved the final victory in the fight against death.

However, after the Grim Reaper was sealed, it was difficult for his power to be transmitted from the other dimension, and the descendants of those families who had the imprint of the Grim Reaper in their bodies could no longer receive the power of the Grim Reaper. The sigils were still there, but the power was gone, and those sigils began to absorb the power of the family's descendants and bloodlines themselves, to the point that they formed an existence similar to a blood curse.

This is the cause of the "curse of death".
