Chapter 118: The Wizard's Curse

The gloomy cemetery, the young man who robbed the tomb, and the soft female voice that suddenly sounded...... This sense of picture, not to mention very terrifying, is also extremely terrifying.

What's even more terrifying is that the woman who made the voice is really a real thousand-year-old female ghost.

Rove turned his head to look and saw Helena, in her floor-length dress, floating behind him, looking at him with interest.

"What are you doing, Rove?"

Rove didn't expect to see Helena here, he was stunned, and hesitated:

"I ...... I'm in archaeology. ”

"Archaeology?"

"Hmm...... This is a holiday assignment for Muggle studies. Rove said nonsense: "Professor Bubbaji asked us to carry out a salvage excavation of those stolen graves, which is what I am doing now." ”

"Really?" Helena had a look on her face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and said:

"But I've inquired about your schedule, and I remember you didn't take Muggle studies at all?"

"Really? Is that my mistake? Rove was a little embarrassed, and he changed the subject stiffly: "Why are you asking about my class schedule?" ”

"If you know your schedule, you know where you are every second." Helena lowered her voice and said 'shyly':

"When I miss you, I can find the classroom where you are taking classes and sneak a peek at you."

The cold breeze blew on Rove, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

Helena, you're not a little girl anymore, you're a thousand years old, can we stop talking about such earthy love words?

Rove rubbed his cold arm and said, "Who taught you to talk like that?" ”

"Uh...... Myrtle. Helena said honestly: "No man can resist this kind of thing when she says this." ”

“……”

"Myrtle...... Sooner or later, you will be killed! Rove scolded secretly.

"Helena, recover, I still like the way you used to be."

"Really?" Helena's eyes widened, and she quickly regained her coldness, and she asked, "So, what the hell are you doing?" ”

"Tomb robbing." Rove continued to ramble: "I'll practice a few more times, and I'll steal your mother's ...... Ahem, there's experience in exploring your mother's tomb. ”

Although it sounded like an insult, Helena was very happy, and she wanted to take Rove to her mother's grave to "pop the gold coins".

After all, there are many precious out-of-print magic books in the tomb, and Rove can resurrect her if he learns it.

Helena is convinced of this!

So, she sincerely suggested, "Rov, Muggle tombs don't have much useful experience, I know where the tombs of several famous wizards are, I'll take you there now." ”

“……”

"By the way, why did you just change a corpse into it?" Helena asked again.

Rove continued to speak, and Helena floated down, she looked at the name on the tombstone, frowned, and said, "Tom Riddle, this is ......"

"Well, this is Voldemort's father's tomb." Seeing that the lake couldn't get it, Rove had to explain honestly: "I'm setting a trap and trying to yin him, don't tell anyone about this." ”

"Don't worry, of course I won't say." Helena hates Tom more than Rav.

It was he who deceived Helena of her crown with clever words back then, but in the end he broke his oath and did not come back to save her.

Phew, liars, scumbags, go die!

After Rove raised his wand and continued to use Restoration to restore the cemetery, he wondered, "Why are you here?" ”

"I've been following you since you came out of Hogwarts." Helena explained, "It's just that I've been floating in the sky, and you haven't noticed me. ”

It's so pervasive...... Rove sighed, he had to check if there was anyone in the sky when he went out in the future.

Seeing that the boy turned to leave, Helena floated over and asked, "Rove, are you going back?" ”

Rove shook his head: "I don't plan to go back yet, I'm going to go around the hillside above Little Hangleton." ”

"You're looking for the old Gaunt House, right?" Helena broke it in one bite.

Rove raised an eyebrow and said, "You've been here before?" ”

"Of course, the Gaunts...... I've been here with my mother before. Helena sneered:

"My mother begged them to send their children to Hogwarts, but they refused, and they attacked my mother, a family of crazy people."

Rove frowned and said, "Aren't the Gaunt family descendants of Slytherin?" ”

Slytherin's children, who don't go to Hogwarts and attack Ravenclaw?

"That was later." Helena patiently explained:

"Salazar Slytherin's son, O'Anthony Slytherin, had only one daughter, and the surname Slytherin disappeared when she married into the Gaunt family.

From then on, the Gaunt family claimed to be descendants of Slytherin......"

As they walked, they walked along a narrow dirt road towards a grove of trees, and soon found the old Gaunt house in a tangled grove.

The house was covered with moss, and many of the roof tiles had fallen off, revealing the rafters inside.

The house was surrounded by dense nettles, high nettles all the way to the windows, which were very small and covered with a thick layer of aged dirt.

Above the door, there is also a statue of a bronze snake, which looks very dangerous.

Rove didn't rush in, because Voldemort hid the old mansion after making the resurrection stone into a Horcrux.

Given the strength of protection in the Horcrux cave, this old mansion must also be filled with all kinds of dangerous magic.

Rove's small body doesn't dare to take risks easily, and the next time he comes, he will have to take Dumbledore and let the headmaster take the lead.

The young man observed around the house for a while, and then said casually: "Speaking of which, the surnames of the Big Four have not been passed down to this day. ”

"It's normal." Helena was silent for a moment, then said, "My mother told me that wizards are cursed by a more powerful being. ”

"Cursed?" Rov was startled and said, "What curse?" ”

"Fertility is cursed." Helena said seriously:

"Don't you notice that most wizards have very few offspring compared to Muggles?

Like the Malfoy family, which has basically been a single lineage for thousands of years, the same is true of the Potter family. ”

"But the Wesleys have seven children." Rove retorted.

"My mother said that if there are multiple bloodlines, there will soon be a big change in the offspring, and the wizarding family that began to flourish will quickly wither." Helena said softly:

"You see the Blake family, the first three generations also have many children, but in Sirius Blake's line, he has three cousins, and his own brother is also dead.

If it weren't for you, Sirius Blake would have died in Azkaban, and finally the last one to make this surname was wiped out. ”

"And the Crouch family, in the days when I was alive, there used to be six Crouch, but two died in vendettas, one went missing, and two had no descendants."

"The Dumbledore family, when Albus and Aberforth die, this surname will also die."

"Of the Peverell family, only the third of the three brothers survived, but he had only one daughter, who soon married into the Potter family...... The old surname is also gone. ”

Helena finally whispered:

"Rove, my mother told me...... The bloodlines of wizards have been cursed with greater power, preventing them from being able to multiply like Muggles.

This curse, just like the inevitable failure of the wizard's founding state, all wizards will eventually turn from pure-bloods to half-bloods, and even squibs...... The number became smaller and smaller, until it was assimilated by Muggles.

"Finally ......," Helena whispered, "the wizard is going to die completely, and this is the ultimate fate. ”
