Standing on a raised black rock, Voldemort looked into the distance.

As far as the eye can see, apart from the starry night sky, there is only the boundless, rippling gray-green ocean.

This is not the Black family cemetery, but a shore not far from the Wu orphanage where he lived as a teenager.

After the collapse of Westminster Abbey, Voldemort used his magic to block the falling boulder, and he survived until the Anti-Transfiguration Charm was broken, and quickly fled with the surviving Death Eaters.

As for why I came here, it may be because there is a Slytherin locket made of Horcruxes hidden in a cave at my feet.

Voldemort subconsciously felt that this was the safest place to be!

The air suddenly sounded the sound of cloaks rustling, and on a reef not far away, three wizard apparitions appeared.

They all wore hoods and walked cautiously over, as if they couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the man by the sea.

Although the man was small, short, ugly, and half of his body was gone, they knew at a glance that he was undoubtedly ...... The Dark Lord.

Lucius Malfoy fell to his knees with a thud and moved forward with his knees.

The rocks were covered in mud, staining Malfoy's high-end robes that he had ordered at the Off-the-top clothing store, but he didn't care, and humbly crawled up to Voldemort and kissed the hem of his black robe.

"The host...... Master......" he called in a low voice.

Voldemort lifted his right foot, gently lifted his black hood with his toes, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Is it Lucius?"

"It's me, master."

"My dear friend." Voldemort said in a very soft voice:

"Time flies, thirteen years have passed in the flick of a finger, and I am so happy to see you again...... Are you still as loyal to me as you were back then? ”

"Of course, master!"

Malfoy humbly looked up and kissed Voldemort's mud-stained bare feet.

The Dark Lord wore only a robe, nothing inside, and it was a vacuum, and Malfoy saw something he shouldn't have seen along the base of his thigh.

No wonder his sister-in-law, Bellatrix, loves Voldemort to death or live, not without reason.

The thought flashed through Malfoy's mind, and he continued:

"Master, I have always been loyal to you!

I sensed your call at Hogwarts, even if I was participating in the Triwizard Tournament, even if I was in Dumbledore's eyes, I still ran away and came to you......"

"Really?" Voldemort sneered and said:

"But in the last thirteen years, you have never looked for me.

Lucius - you are obviously healthy and escaped the judgment of the Ministry of Magic - all these years, but you have never sought out the person you swore to be loyal to forever, is this how you are allegiance? ”

Malfoy stopped talking.

Voldemort pulled his foot out of Malfoy's mouth, and he lifted it high, stepping on Lucius' pale blonde hair and rubbing the saliva on the floor of his foot.

It was Malfoy's proudest hair, and he was so spoiled by Voldemort that instead of any reluctance or dislike, he was afraid that he would get too much glue today and get to the Dark Lord's feet.

"Of course, Lucius, I was still happy with what you did to help Bella at the Quidditch World Cup last summer, so I hope you will play for me more faithfully in the future."

Malfoy's heart was ecstatic.

Last summer, Bellatrix popped up at Malfoy Manor and approached him and Narcissa and asked them to help her with a "little move" at the Quidditch World Cup.

At that time, Malfoy was simply terrified when he saw Bellatrix, afraid that she would be involved and imprisoned in Azkaban.

But he soon found out that Bellatrix had escaped from Azkaban, and the Ministry of Magic had no reaction to such a big thing.

After consulting with his wife, he concluded that Bellatrix must have a powerful wizard behind her, and maybe even the Dark Lord.

As soon as Malfoy gritted his teeth, he agreed to Bellatrix and help her contact the other Death Eaters to do a series of things at the Quidditch World Cup.

At this moment, Malfoy finally determined that his guess was right, and he won the bet!

Malfoy was ecstatic, "Of course, master, of course...... You are magnanimous, thank you for ......"

Voldemort walked forward, walked up to Malfoy's two henchmen, and said:

"Crabbe...... You're going to be a little better this time, aren't you, Crabbe? And you, Goyle? ”

The two kowtowed awkwardly and muttered stupidly.

"Yes, host......"

"Yes, master......"

The trio stood up, and Malfoy glanced back out of the corner of his eye to see the Lestranges and Auguste Luckwood.

There were no other Death Eaters here besides the three of them.

Malfoy also saw Scamander's battle at Black's graveyard through the magic curtain tonight.

So many Death Eaters, only the three of them survived?

Malfoy was secretly frightened and raised Scamander's danger level to a notch with Dumbledore!

They stood on the seashore and waited, and after another twenty minutes, no one came.

Voldemort no longer seemed to expect someone to come, and he said calmly:

"Welcome, Death Eaters, thirteen years...... It's been thirteen years since we last assembled.

Last time, I remember twenty-seven Death Eaters in attendance, and now only six of you remain. ”

Voldemort's words were a little gloomy, and Malfoy couldn't help but complain aggrievedly:

"The hosts, it's not that they don't want to come, but most of them ...... He's dead. ”

"Last summer, we ambushed Harry Potter at the Quidditch World Cup, but Scamander showed up on a fire dragon and burned Dirk Anthony and Ole Terry to capture McNeil's ......"

Bella, who was on the side, also had a relative, she was also there that night, if Malfoy hadn't forcibly taken her away, she would probably have been burned to death.

"And Amicus Caro, Alecto Caro, Sean Knott, Edda Avery Jr., ......" Malfoy continued:

"We were all drafted for the Triwizard Tournament, and there were nine people at the beginning, and a third died in the first event, and three more in the second event.

The three of us were all thinking of dying tonight, but our guards left suddenly, and we fled in a hurry......"

Voldemort didn't speak, but his face was extremely ugly.

To tell the truth, Malfoy's group of two or five boys, when they die, they are like leeks, they are cut in one batch, and they can grow a second stubble at any time.

But Bella's group of Death Eaters is different, they have been imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years, they have not surrendered, and they have proved their loyalty with practical actions.

This kind of staunchest believer is not something that can be cultivated casually!

They didn't die in the wizarding wars, at the hands of Azkaban and the Dementors, but in the midst of their own resurrection, in the midst of the boy......

He had rescued the Death Eaters from Azkaban only a few months earlier, and after the battle tonight, they were all but wiped out!

Even if he is cold and ruthless like Voldemort, he has some heartache.

"I'm going to grab Rolf Scamander, peel him off from his heels to his head, and burn him with fire!" Voldemort swore to God.

He looked at the Death Eater again, and said in a hoarse voice:

"You're all alive and appearing in front of me, and you're going to be rewarded in unimaginable ways."

"Especially the Lestrange couple and Auguste Luckwood."

Bellatrix looked ecstatic, she had been locked up in Azkaban for so many years, and she was so eager for Voldemort's reward.

It's like the water of a fish in a drought!

"But traitors are also punished, and I know there are still three Death Eaters who have not arrived." Voldemort said coldly:

"One of them probably didn't have the guts to come back...... He's going to pay the price. The other, I think, is leaving me forever...... Of course he will be put to death.

In fact, I've had another loyal servant go to Hogwarts to kill him. ”

Malfoy muttered to himself, the Dark Lord said that it was estimated that Snape and Karkaroff were talking about.

It's a pity, especially Snape, when the two of them met, Malfoy was already a prefect in Slytherin House, and Snape was still a first-year student.

The two of them have maintained a good friendship over the years.

Just as Malfoy was thinking, Voldemort changed his mind and said:

"There are so few Death Eaters, our priority now is to expand our forces, and I hope you can all bring in your own relatives, such as ...... Narcissa Malfoy. ”

Lucius couldn't help but shiver in the cold sea breeze.

"What, Lucius?" Voldemort looked at Malfoy, narrowed his eyes, and asked:

"Won't you give your wife Narcissa to me?"
