As the current top of the British wizarding world, the Malfoy family undoubtedly has a very strong influence.

Lucius not only used his family's huge wealth to buy many officials of the Ministry of Magic, but also invested heavily in widely influential media such as the Daily Prophet and Wizarding Weekly, in order to indirectly manipulate public opinion.

Not to mention that he himself is a member of the Hogwarts School Board.

It was even possible to semi-coerce the other board members to sign outrageous orders like suspending Dumbledore.

Even if he is kicked out of the board of directors after a failure, he can still exert influence through various means, the most typical example of which is the execution of the Hippogriff.

In addition to this, through the acquisition and operation of projects such as dragon farms and magical herb plantations, the Malfoy family also has an amazing magical resource and channel at their disposal.

There are both legal and illegal.

It can be said that if Lucius and his family were placed in the Muggle world, eighty percent would eventually grow into a huge monopoly capital interest group, and even further influence national policy.

Unfortunately, this is the world of magic, and at the same time the world of wizards.

And for wizards, the most important thing is never wealth, but knowledge and strong personal strength.

So no matter how the Malfoy family grows, as soon as Voldemort returns, it will immediately be revealed.

Because this guy doesn't have any rules or laws with you, he will only raise his wand and shoot a green light that symbolizes death, or recite in a cruel voice the phrase "Piercing the heart and cutting the bones" that has terrified countless wizards.

In fact, most pure-blood families have mixed attitudes towards Voldemort.

He wanted to use it to achieve his goal of suppressing and even eradicating half-bloods and Muggle wizards, and to maintain the pure-blood's absolute control over the wizarding world, but he was also terrified of his moody and murderous personality.

Even a large number of Death Eaters obeyed Voldemort out of fear rather than worship.

Perhaps they once worshipped, but in the end they found that their idol was a madman who was extremely chaotic and evil.

Except for those neuropaths who are not in a normal mind, such as Barty Crouch Jr. and Bellatrix Lestrange.

The rest of them are simply using the chaos created by Voldemort to vent their dissatisfaction with the current state of the wizarding world, or to seek more benefits.

As for the descent theory, it is nothing more than a fig leaf for the struggle for power, wealth, and resources.

For the pure-blood family in this world, Zuo Si has never had the slightest affection for it, and he doesn't plan to have anything to do with it.

So he chose to make a deal with Lucius Malfoy alone in exchange for Draco's safety, in exchange for the Malfoys to come forward and help him get something that was not convenient for Dumbledore to know.

For example, there are a few dragon eggs that are strictly forbidden to be kept by the Ministry of Magic of various countries, and there are also magical creatures such as thunderbirds, unicorns, and winged demons that can be used as raw materials for summoning creatures and crafting various magical items.

In addition, Lucius also helped to buy a house in the middle of the mountains and forests, which was magically protected from anyone other than the "secret man".

The house originally belonged to an old pure-blood family, but all of them died in the last wizarding war, and are currently in a state of ownerlessness with no heirs.

Zuo Si only spent a few thousand gold Galleons to successfully obtain the title deed including the house and the surrounding mountains and forests.

Of course, the legitimacy of this title deed is only recognized by the wizarding community.

As for the government of the Muggle world, they had no idea that a house and the surrounding woodland belonged to a family.

Their rangers couldn't even get close to the places where the banishment was blessed.

But the price is that Zuo Si has to deal with the protective magic that blesses the house inside and out, as well as two house-elves who will attack all intruders like crazy.

Undoubtedly, this is simply an impossible task for most ordinary wizards, which is why the price of their title deeds is so cheap.

However, these are obviously not too big problems for Zuo Si.

By the end of the semester and a little time during the summer vacation, he would be able to easily get the two house-elves, while taking the entire house and the surrounding land under his control, and set out to build a completely safe base and shelter.

It is the so-called "three holes of cunning rabbits".

As a traveling mage who will be shuttling through various dangerous worlds in the future, Zuo Si felt that he had to prepare a few more safe houses to ensure that he could immediately carry out strategic retreat and transfer when he encountered danger.

In particular, Zendikar, which seals the Eldrazi Titans, is far more dangerous than most people and even gods can imagine.

Even the best and most powerful traveling mages don't have a good way to deal with them.

Because according to the research and speculation of a senior mage, these twisted creatures that are so powerful that mortals and even gods feel desperate are actually nothing more than the consciousness projections of some terrifying beings from the depths of the dark void, and a "horizontal plane hypothesis" has been specially proposed for this purpose.

To put it simply, the three Eldrazi Titans who are constantly devouring energy in various worlds of the multiverse are actually like people sticking their hands into the water.

Underwater creatures can only see with one or a few fingers.

The underwater creatures here refer to the indigenous inhabitants of the world of Zendikar, as well as the traveling mages who came to this world by accident.

And the finger is naturally the Eldrazi Titan itself.

Because of the obstruction of the Dark Void, no one can really figure out what terrible truth lies behind these terrifying creatures that cannot be properly recognized and understood.

Considering that rashly cutting off these "fingers" that go deep beneath the surface of the water may lead to some unpredictable and violent reactions from the owner.

So several powerful Brigade Mages teamed up to use the world of Zendikar's incredible energy as bait to successfully seal it away.

In fact, when he got the card Zendikar, Directed Teleportation, Zuo Si wanted to see what the world of "overflowing energy" was like more than once, and what kind of powerful land cards could be made.

Plus, how amazing the top creatures that were born in this world of power and mana.

Having seen the Oranri Hydra's formidable melee combat abilities, he was excited about the creatures Zendikar could make into cards.

Once the preparatory work is completed, they will try to explore this dangerous world.

But before that, Zuo Si still has a "small trouble" to solve, and that is the remnant of Voldemort attached to Quirrell.

Since the end of several public classes, this guy has been visiting more and more frequently, and his words are full of all kinds of seductions and hints.

Although Voldemort himself did not show up for the time being out of caution, he could already feel a sense of impatience.

No doubt!

Staying under Dumbledore's nose all day gave him unimaginable pressure.

Coupled with the fact that Quirinus Quirrell is not the kind of person who is determined and can do great things, Voldemort urgently needs to find a helper now more than ever.

This helper must not only be capable, but also young enough to be controlled by himself who is already too weak to show his face.

Obviously, Zuo Si, who is a first-year Hogwarts student, happens to be the most suitable candidate.

Especially after listening to a few public lectures, Voldemort became more and more convinced that this genius from Slytherin House was the one he really needed.

I don't know how many times stronger than the previous Death Eaters who were either arrogant, stupid, or both ends of the rat.

In order to achieve his goal, he spared no expense to use some advanced dark arts knowledge that had never been taught to anyone as bait.

Even Quirrell couldn't help but start feeling envy and jealousy when he saw it.

When a few months passed and the weather began to warm up, he finally couldn't help but remind: "Master, I think the time is almost ripe, it's time to close the net." ”

"Oh? Are you sure you can handle Soth? Voldemort asked meaningfully.

"Of course! Anyway, he's just a first-year student. I only need to threaten and intimidate him a little, and he will soon be obediently stealing the Philosopher's Stone for you. Quirrell assured confidently.

"In that case, then you should give it a try. But remember, if you fail again this time, be prepared to live with the consequences. ”

With these warnings, Voldemort quickly fell into a terrible silence.

Obviously, he was deliberately using Quirrell as a pawn to test Zuosi's reaction.

If the latter succeeds, then Voldemort can naturally continue to hide in the shadows and plan his resurrection.

But if the former fails, he can also stand up and sacrifice this useless pawn in exchange for the allegiance of a newbie with more ability and unlimited potential.

It is this ruthless personality and style that determines that many of his Death Eaters are destined to be loyal.

Not many fools and psychotics will be truly loyal to a master who may abandon him at any moment.

In particular, this "master" is still moody, and the entire organization does not even have a decent reward and punishment system, which completely depends on the mood of a certain person.

It is foreseeable that even if Voldemort really succeeded in defeating Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix and successfully ruled the wizarding world in Britain and even Europe, he would eventually end up betraying his relatives.

Because both the Muggle world and the wizarding world need to maintain order where most people can live normally.

And all he brings is chaos, killing, and self-endangerment.

When those pure-blood families get what they want, and stabilize the power in their hands, they will definitely try to kill Voldemort.

It's a pity that he didn't understand this truth until the moment he died.

In this way, with the task of his master, Quirinus Chilot found a time when the curfew was approaching, and said in his ear, "Come with me, I have something to talk to you about alone." ”

"At this time?"

Zuo Si raised his head and looked into the other party's eyes.

Quirrell nodded meaningfully, "That's right. The Lord is ready to meet you. ”

Hearing this, Zuo Si instantly realized that this was Voldemort's plan to have a showdown with him, so he immediately stood up and followed the other party and disappeared into the empty corridor.

Since most of the students had already returned to their dormitories to rest, no one noticed the unusual behavior of the two.

It wasn't long before they left the castle walls and went outside into the Forbidden Forest.

Quirinus Quirrell, apparently familiar with Hagrid's night patrols, deftly avoided the half-giant hunting ground guards and led Zosi to an open meadow.

When he stopped, he immediately turned around and said in a slightly jealous tone, "You know what? I actually envy you. Because at a young age you got everything I could only dream of, whether it was talent, fame, or the affection of that adult. ”

"What exactly are you trying to say, Professor?"

Zuo Si did not shy away from looking directly into the other party's eyes, and the hand hidden in the sleeve of the wide robe was already holding the wand and ready for battle.

"I mean, you've come to the point where you should make a choice. I'm sure you're smart enough to understand who that dark magic knowledge comes from, don't you? ”

As he said this, Quirrell visibly took on a threatening tone, and leaned forward slightly in an aggressive stance.

He felt that although he had failed to satisfy the Dark Lord in several attempts, he would have no problem dealing with a first-year student.

It's a pity that Zuo Si is obviously not an ordinary first-year Hogwarts student, and he was not intimidated by this low-level threat, and shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly: "So what? If my answer is no, are you going to report it to Headmaster Dumbledore or the Ministry of Magic for exposing me for studying the Dark Arts?

Don't forget, you gave me all those things.

Even if you are held accountable, you will probably be the first to be imprisoned in Azkaban.

And with my current age and reputation in the wizarding world, when the time comes, all I have to do is admit my mistake and claim that you are deliberately setting up a trick to lure me.

Guess whether the people at the Ministry of Magic will trust me, the promising star of tomorrow, or you, a lackey possessed by the Dark Lord? ”

As the last word blurted out, Quirinus Quirrell's face changed instantly.

He never dreamed that the biggest secret in his heart would be revealed so easily.

"You...... How do you know who you are? Quirrell panicked and backed back.

"Dear professor, I knew from the beginning that I just thought that I could get more benefits from acting with you in this way, that's all. What's really ridiculous is that you've been played like a clown by your own master all the time. Do you think I'm right, Lord Dark Lord? ”

Zuo Si squarely set his gaze on the crippled soul hidden in Quirrell's body.

"Hahahaha! You're as smart as you expected, Soth. ”

Voldemort let out a chilling laugh.

"Master?!"

Quirrell, no matter how stupid he was, realized that something wasn't quite right.

It's a pity that Voldemort didn't want to explain, but directly took control of his body, took off the wide scarf used to cover it, and slowly emerged from the back of his head.

"Tell me, how did you become aware of my presence?"

"It's simple. Knowledge does not deceive. Professor Quirrell's level of magic, while considered excellent among most adult wizards, was far from being able to write those notes. Zuo Si gave an answer unhurriedly.

"Not bad! Knowledge does not deceive. An approving look appeared on Voldemort's face. I'm glad you saw through these little tricks. After all, I've given you so many hints, and it would be disappointing to not be able to do that. ”

"No, I should say I'm the one who was disappointed. Because your current state is really not worthy of the title of Dark Lord that terrifies the entire British wizarding community. Zuo Si commented unceremoniously.

Maybe the rest of the world doesn't have a good way to deal with a half-dead remnant like Voldemort.

But for him, a double elector, a priest and a mage, it would be easier to completely destroy a remnant soul without any magical protection than to crush an ant to death.

Therefore, Voldemort in front of him could not pose even the slightest threat to him.

If someone else had said this, Voldemort would have been furious or would have turned on the spot and killed him by reciting Avada's spell.

But today, for some reason, he was very rare and not angry, but lowered his head and glanced at the body of Quirrell under his control, and sighed slightly: "Yes! I've never hated my weakness and powerlessness as much as I do now. But it doesn't matter, I still have a chance to make a comeback. As long as you are willing to pledge your allegiance to me, I promise to give you unimaginable power, status, and more knowledge of the dark arts after your resurrection. ”

"Power? Status? ”

Zuo Si smiled disdainfully.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think it's worth pursuing power and status for this poor population of the British wizarding community.

As for the knowledge of the dark arts, more than 80 percent of those notes you gave me were worthless garbage, and I didn't even have the slightest interest in delving into them.

If it weren't for the expectation of your prowess in the dark arts, I wouldn't have bothered to cooperate with Professor Quirrell in putting this play on until now.

Finally, about allegiance......

I'm sorry, but I don't think a moody psychopath with a head problem is worth taking refuge into.

So please take the trouble to discard that unrealistic delusion. ”

"What do you say?!

”

Voldemort was clearly enraged, exuding a strong murderous intent all over his body.

"I'm saying you're a mentally problematic and moody psychopath. Why, isn't my English pronunciation clear enough? It's okay, I can repeat it to you again in French, Latin. ”

In the face of this Dark Lord, who terrified the British wizarding world, Zuo Si did not show the slightest fear, and did not even take the madness and destruction revealed in the other party's eyes as the same thing.

And this naked and undisguised disdain undoubtedly made Voldemort feel an unprecedented offense, and immediately raised his wand and said with a hideous face: "It seems that it is necessary for me to let you understand your situation first." ”

"Is that what you look like now? It's up to you to really figure out where you're going. ”

Zuo Si looked each other up and down with slightly playful eyes.

"Drill the heart and cut the bones!"

Voldemort was obviously not the kind of person who had a high level of tolerance, and immediately chose to use the Diamond Heart Charm to teach the arrogant student in front of him a lesson.

Unfortunately, Zuo Si was obviously prepared, and with his agility attribute of up to eighteen points, he easily avoided the beam of light shot from the front of the opponent's wand.

Since most of the magic in this world is released in the form of long-range ray contact, as long as the reaction is fast enough and the action is fast enough, there is a high probability that you can dodge.

This is completely different from Faeron's directional magic, once locked, it can only rely on its own life force and resistance.

Moreover, Zuo Si has been wearing magic boots that can increase his movement speed on his feet, and activated the [Hazy Technique] and [Mirror Shadow Technique] as soon as he was attacked, and the whole person looked like several illusory images connected to each other.

Not to mention aiming and hitting, even after looking at it for a long time, the eyes will have double vision, trance and other visual fatigue.

Voldemort apparently never encountered a similar situation.

After failing to hit the target several times in a row, he immediately stopped his attack, frowned and asked in a slightly puzzled tone, "What kind of magic is this?" How come I have never seen and heard of it? ”

Zuo Si responded with a smile: "It's just a very low-level, very ordinary illusion. Why, the Dark Lord, who is so frightened that he can't even mention his name, can't even do this little trick? ”

"You're deliberately provoking me?"

Voldemort was clearly not a fool, and he quickly recovered after a brief outburst.

Although he didn't understand why the other party was doing this, he quickly became vigilant.

After all, he was now just a remnant soul, and he didn't have the ability to cast spells himself, but had to use Quirrell's body to cast spells, far less powerful than when he was alive before.

"It seems that as I expected, you can't control your emotions very well, especially negative ones. If you don't mind, can you tell me if it's a side effect of creating a Horcrux that repeatedly tears your soul, or is it the result of long-term use of dark magic like the Reaper Charm, the Imperius Charm, and the Drill Heart Charm, which require strong negative emotions to strengthen the power? ”

An expression of interest appeared on Zuo Si's face.

As a man of great curiosity, he had long wanted to find a living sample to understand the effects of long-term use of black magic on people's personalities and ways of thinking.

And Voldemort, who is one of the three unforgivable curses, is undoubtedly the best object to observe.

Because no one in this world would use malicious black magic so often except this guy.

There was no doubt that Zuo Si's look at the "guinea pig" made Voldemort feel very uncomfortable, and he immediately raised his wand and threatened, "You think you can escape my spell with these illusions alone?" Now, I'm going to show you what true black magic is. ”

As the last word blurted out, he suddenly shot a red flame with a terrible curse from the tip of his wand.

In less than a few seconds, the latter quickly devoured everything around it that could be burned to strengthen itself, turning into a giant fire snake tens of meters long.

Seeing this, Zuo Si waved his wand without showing weakness, summoning another blue dragon form of fierce fire.

In the blink of an eye, the two fierce flames pounced together and began to try to strangle each other.

The dazzling light of the fire and the scattered flames lit up the black night sky, and the surrounding forests and trees disappeared in pieces under the flames.

On the other hand, the fire became larger and larger as it devoured more and more combustible matter.

Standing at the feet of two giant beasts composed entirely of magical flames, feeling the heat wave coming to his face, Zuo Si asked with a smile, "Do you think that you are the only one who can be fierce?" ”

"Where did you learn to summon fire? I don't remember Hogwarts teaching first-year students these things. Voldemort narrowed his eyes tentatively.

Through the fierce fire of the dragon form, he had realized that the young man in front of him had grown far faster than he expected.

With the magic of Quirrell's body alone, it would be very difficult to take it down.

"Quite simply, all this knowledge can be found in the forbidden section of the library, and there is no protection there.

As long as you sneak in at night, it's easy to learn all kinds of powerful spells and magic.

Isn't it because you have learned enough from those books?

Even the method of making Horcruxes was learned from one of these books.

I'm curious, what gives you the confidence to think that those so-called knowledge of the dark arts can seduce me?

Those notes you gave me are nothing compared to the rich collection of books in the forbidden section of the Hogwarts Library.

Today, let me broaden your horizons and thinking a little. ”

After saying this, Zuo Si lightly waved his wand and pointed at the fierce fire he had summoned.

Moment!

The fire, which had been emitting an astonishing heat wave a second before, suddenly turned into a biting ice.

It took less than a second for the fire summoned by Voldemort to freeze, and then shattered the city's countless tiny crystalline particles with a thud.

You don't have to ask to know that this original spell was inspired by the Archmage's advanced arcane ability, Elemental Mastery.

By changing the nature of the elements, Zuosi can effortlessly transform powerful fire into energy forms such as strong acid, lightning, ice, and sound waves.

Such an astonishing scene instantly made Voldemort show an extremely surprised expression.

Before he could react to what had happened, the icy form of fire turned into thunder and lightning that crackled again, and suddenly threw a blinding silver-white beam of electricity.

Rumble!

！

！

！

！

With a deafening loud bang, the lightning smashed a charred pit into the ground.

If it weren't for the fact that this place had already left the area of influence of Hogwarts' protective magic, and Voldemort's reaction was fast enough to cast a phantasmagion to escape at the first time, it would have turned into an unrecognizable pile of carbide by now.

"You've actually changed the elemental form of the fire?!"

Voldemort's face changed dramatically as he looked at where he had just stood.

Because he could be sure that there was absolutely no book in the forbidden section of the Hogwarts Library that contained similar spells and magic techniques.

"That's right, I've changed the elemental form of the fire." Zuo Si nodded generously in acknowledgement.

While doing so will cause the fire to lose its ability to infinitely devour its surroundings and grow stronger, it can do so in an unexpected way at critical moments.

After all, he had long sensed that elemental damage of a single attribute was very easy to be restrained by enemies with corresponding immunity.

Therefore, after learning this spell, the first thing I thought of was to use the archmage's advanced arcane ability to transform its elemental attributes.

But for the wizards of this world, transforming the elemental properties of magic spells, especially those that have already been released, is almost unheard of.

It's as incredible as magic scrolls and other storage items.

Just look at Voldemort's reaction at this moment to see how shocking this hand really sounded him.

It took a minute for the Dark Lord to finally regain his composure, and he didn't hesitate to praise, "It's incredible creativity. Soth, you're ten times better than I thought. ”

"Thanks for the compliment." Zuo Si touched his chest with one hand and bowed elegantly. "But I didn't sleep at night to see you, not to listen to these frivolous words, but to see what kind of means the Dark Lord could be feared by Headmaster Dumbledore."

"So...... Your purpose is to take advantage of my weakness and want to learn more spells and dark magic by dueling with me with spells? ”

Obviously, when he was not angry and lost his mind, Voldemort's brain was quite smart, and he immediately guessed Zuo Si's intentions.

After a brief encounter just now, he had realized that it was almost impossible for Quirrell to defeat the little monster in front of him just by controlling the waste.

Especially the fierce fire just now, which almost consumed one-fifth of the magic power in Quirrell's body.

With such a high-intensity spell confrontation, it won't take a few times to completely destroy this body.

"Or else? When a person's life is in danger, he often shows the most hole cards. My sincere advice is that you better get serious, or you'll really die. Note that I'm not just referring to Professor Quirrell, I'm dying here, I'm also referring to you as a remnant. I happen to know a couple of spells for souls, so be sure to satisfy my curiosity. ”

With that, Zuo Si took the lead in waving his wand and attacking.

Under his control, the thunder and lightning elemental form, which had ceased to expand, immediately turned into a flash of lightning and rushed over.

"You're good! It's really, really good! "Voldemort's seven orifices are smoking.

Since his debut as the Dark Lord, he has always been the only one who threatens others, and when has he been threatened by others.

So under the domination of intense anger, this guy once again lost his mind, completely indifferent to the life or death of Quirrell who was possessed by himself, desperately squeezing all the potential of this body.

I saw Voldemort raise his wand and shout "Arvada gnaws big melon", shooting a dazzling green light from the front end.

His crazy eyes and terrifying killing intent directly raised the power of this death curse, which originally had few bright spots, to the limit.

Just for a moment!

The thunder and lightning in the form of a dragon were instantly crushed, and dazzling white lightning flew in all directions.

You don't need to ask to know that the Calling Spell in Voldemort's hands is completely like two completely different spells from the Calling Spell cast by other wizards.

In this field, even Dumbledore could not match it.

Because although Dumbledore knew a lot about the dark arts, even far more than Voldemort, he lacked that madness and unscrupulousness.

Especially when dealing with enemies, he rarely uses spells to kill them directly, but instead defeats them and hands them over to the Ministry of Magic for trial, imprisonment, and execution.

"Strong will...... Break through the moral bottom line...... Treating the target's life as an insignificant ant, the Reaper is a spell that requires constant use and killing to become more and more powerful. ”

Zuo Si was engaged in a spell confrontation with Voldemort while analyzing it with great interest.

Obviously, the Requisition Spell is a very special spell, very different from the other two of the three unforgivable spells.

If a wizard strengthens his killing mood and will by constantly killing people through this spell, then the power of the requisition spell will become stronger and stronger.

As for where the ceiling is, he doesn't know for the time being.

After all, no matter how bad Voldemort is in the British wizarding world, the number of killings is unlikely to exceed three digits, and it is not even a fraction of the humanoids killed by Zuo Si.

So after a few collisions, Voldemort was shocked to find that he had lost the power of the Requisition Charm to a first-year Hogwarts student who had just entered the school.

The latter's life-seeking spell went from being very rusty at the beginning to being proficient and then surpassing himself, and it only took less than three or five minutes.

Especially the green light that shot out at the end directly swept a passage more than ten meters long in the woods.

Trees and stones along the way were instantly torn to shreds by the amazing magical energy.

With Voldemort's understanding of the Curse of Death, not to mention hitting people, even hitting a fire dragon with amazing magic resistance and vitality, I am afraid that it will kill with one blow.

What puzzled him even more was how this was done.

If he was born like this, then Zuo Si should have been born a dark magic genius to study in Azkaban.

It's a pity that as the spell duel enters the white heat, Voldemort no longer dares to distract himself and ask.

At the moment, if he was the slightest distracted or negligent, he could immediately be distracted by the magic that he had never heard of or seen.

Although neither of them used such powerful magic as Fierce Fire anymore, the danger of confrontation became higher and higher instead of diminishing.

Even in the end, even the part of the spell was omitted, except for the colorful magic rays, shapeshifts, and very subtle surprise attacks.

The speed of offensive and defensive transformation has reached the level of seconds.

Either side slows down, and every minute there is a chance that they will be hit by a spell fired from the wand.

You must know that through almost a year of accumulation, Zuo Si has raised his wizarding profession to a very high level early, so the power of the spell is no longer the kind that can only be used to bully "children" when he first entered school.

In order to counteract, Voldemort didn't care about hiding his secrets at the moment, and released all kinds of complex spells he mastered one after another, not noticing that Quirrell's body was on the verge of collapse, and his nose, ears, and mouth were constantly oozing blood.

While the two of them were engrossed in it, they were far away at the top of a tower at Hogwarts Castle.

Headmaster Dumbledore was looking condescendingly in the direction of the Forbidden Forest, looking at the magical light that flashed from time to time, and asked in a tone of uncertainty that was not very sure, "How long have they been out?" ”

"At least fifteen minutes."

Snape, who was following behind, immediately gave an accurate number.

Because he had been keeping an eye on Quirrell, he knew very well when the two of them had left the castle.

"Fifteen minutes? Has it been that long? It looks like it's almost over. Dumbledore said meaningfully.

"The end? Why do you feel that way? Snape asked, puzzled.

Dumbledore replied with a smile, "Because with the level of magic in Quirrell's body, it is quite rare to be able to hold on to him for so long. ”

"Are you sure you really don't need me to pick it up?" Snape was visibly worried about Zuosi's safety.

After all, no matter how you say it, it is also the Dark Lord who is feared by the British wizarding world.

He had witnessed the astonishing power of the other party's Death Seeking Spell, and even with Quirrell's body, the power of the spell would be strengthened to a terrifying level by strong will and killing intent.

"No, no. Trust me, Thoss isn't as weak as you think. On the contrary, he has a fairly high level of spells, and he also has mastered the crafting of magic scrolls and some other storage devices. So there's no need to worry about him. Dumbledore explained nonchalantly.

Just as Snape was about to say something, he suddenly noticed that the spell confrontation in the Forbidden Forest in the distance seemed to have stopped.

In order to confirm this, he immediately picked up the magic telescope in his hand and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he found that the two of them had stopped all their movements at some point.

Especially Quirrell, who was controlled by Voldemort, had a bloody nose, bloodshot eyes, and a face as pale as a vampire.

You don't have to ask to know that this is the result of forcibly squeezing and overdrawing the magic.

Quirrell, feeling the threat of death, couldn't help but even start trying to snatch control of his body.

"Looks like that's the end of the day."

Zuo Si regretfully put away his wand and took the initiative to stop all attacks.

Through the battle just now, he managed to learn several very practical dark magic spells from the other party, and at the same time, he also thoroughly understood the close connection between emotion, will, and magical power.

It can be said that the experience gained from this spell duel is far more important than simply reading books.

But for Voldemort, the duel was nothing more than naked and undisguised humiliation.

From beginning to end, he couldn't really find an opportunity to kill Zuo Si, but was forced to use several powerful spells as hole cards.

The Dark Lord never dreamed that he would one day be toyed with by a mere Hogwarts freshman.

Holding back the boiling anger in his heart, Voldemort clutched the wand in his hand and asked, "Why stop?" Why don't you kill me? ”

"Kill you? Is that any good for me?

No, I'm not going to do this kind of useless work.

Because I know that you have made several Horcruxes to escape death.

There is no point in killing you until these Horcruxes are destroyed.

Besides, I'm not interested in getting involved in your feud with Dumbledore and Harry Potter, and I'm not going to be hungry enough to denounce you.

Goodbye, Dark Lord Pavilion?

??。 I hope that the next time we meet, you can really stand in front of me instead of manipulating other people's bodies.

I'm really looking forward to having a spell duel with you in your heyday. ”

After saying this, Zuo Si bowed gracefully again, and then turned around and walked in the direction of the castle.

When his figure was completely engulfed by darkness, Quirrell finally took back control of his body, and fell to the ground with a thud and vomited blood, and pleaded weakly, "Master! I feel like I'm going to die! Help me! Please! ”

"Idiot! Go and kill a unicorn in the Forbidden Forest! The blood of this creature can give us a temporary escape from death. ”

Although Voldemort was in a terrible mood at the moment, he still showed his men a clear way.

He didn't want to hide in the forest and possess those unintelligent beasts like rats and snakes.

"Understood! Unicorn...... Unicorn ......"

Quirrell struggled to his feet and began to search for the unicorn in the treacherous Forbidden Forest.

As a graduate of Ravenclaw College, it was impossible for him not to know what the consequences of sucking unicorn blood were.

But in order to survive, I can't take care of so much at this time.
