Chapter 321: Double Agent
If you ask Lucius what he cares about most in his life, besides the glory of the Malfoy family, it is undoubtedly his wife and son.
So, hearing Voldemort's request, Luciuston was silent.
Is he willing to make Narcissa a Death Eater?
Of course he didn't want to!
Death Eaters are a high-risk profession, and only six of them are still standing here unharmed, what a terrible mortality rate!
Lucius didn't speak, but Bellatrix on the side was already impatient:
"Master, it is a privilege for our family to have my sister as your servant, and there is nothing more gratifying than this."
"Really?" Voldemort's lipsless mouth gave him a grim smile.
"But I don't think Lucius seems to be happy, do I?"
The other Death Eaters all looked at Lucius, and Bella glared at him in shock, as if he hesitated for a second, it was all blasphemy against the Dark Lord.
"No—no, master!" Sweating profusely, Luciuston stammered, "I...... How could you not want to? ”
"So, is Narcissa willing?" Voldemort asked again.
"Master, of course she wills." Bella's excited voice tightened, "My sister has been dreaming of dedicating herself to you in her entirety since she was a girl. ”
"It's better to be like this." Voldemort said expressionlessly:
"Let's go, Lucius, stay at your house tonight, and let Narcissa come to see me, she will be the first servant to be branded as a dark demon by me since I am resurrected."
"Yes...... Be. ”
Several apparitions moved away, but Voldemort did not go with them, as he suddenly sensed that a Death Eater had passed through the Dark Mark...... Calling him.
……
……
Standing on the top of a desolate, cold mountain, Snape rolled up his sleeve and pressed his index finger to the Dark Mark on his left arm.
As a "global instant communication", Voldemort could use it to summon Death Eaters, who in turn could send messages to summon Voldemort.
Snape had waited less than a minute before a sharp sound came from all directions, almost bursting his eardrums.
Severus ...... I don't know if you dare to come to see me, or if you are bold or stupid! ”
In the next second, a blinding white light flashed in the air, shooting at Snape.
He flew upside down and crashed to the ground ten meters away, his uncontrolled body even bounced on the ground, and continued to slide backwards for more than ten meters before he was able to stop.
Snape lay on the ground and shouted, "Master...... Don't kill me! ”
"Master?" Voldemort appeared behind Snape and sneered:
"Am I still your master? Haven't you already taken refuge in your new master, Dumbledore?
Get on your knees, traitor! ”
Snape struggled to his feet, fell to his knees, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm not a traitor, master, and I'm not a Dumbledore. ”
"Back then, you asked me to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to lurk around him and give you news, have you forgotten?
I've also got you a prophecy from Trelawney—"
"yes, that prophecy almost killed me." Voldemort said coldly.
Snape panted and said, "Doesn't that show the accuracy of the prophecy?" ”
Voldemort snorted coldly, and this was true.
"Severus, if you're still faithful to me, why didn't you look for me after I disappeared?"
"I thought you were ...... At the time, everyone thought so...... You're dead. Snape explained:
"I did something wrong, I shouldn't doubt your ability, and I don't want to justify and cover it up, but that's how it is......"
"Yes, it's not just you, little Everley, Jaxley, the Caro siblings, Greyback, Lucius, ......"
Voldemort's red eyes, his flat, serpentine face, a pale glimmer in the darkness.
And many others...... You all think so, think the great Dark Lord is dead, think I'm finished.
You slipped back into the midst of my enemies, saying that you were innocent, unaware, and under the Imperius curse......"
"Even though I told you a long time ago that I had taken the means to prevent death, I was further on the path of death than anyone else."
"You've disappointed me!" Voldemort sneered and raised his wand. "Drill the heart and cut the bones!"
Snape writhed and screamed in pain, and he pleaded, "Forgive me, master...... I am truly loyal to you, I have not betrayed ......"
"No betrayal?" Voldemort sneered, "Why did you prevent me from getting the Philosopher's Stone four years ago? ”
"I didn't know it was you......" Snape wailed:
"At that time...... All I saw was the greedy, incompetent Quirrell trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone.
I admit it...... I stopped him as best I could, but I didn't know he was at your service.
If you find me...... Even if it's just to leak a little plan to me...... I'm just desperate, I'll help you steal the Philosopher's Stone! ”
"Do you know why I didn't look for you? Do you know why I'm so weak and would rather share a body with a mediocre wizard than expose myself to a former servant? ”
Voldemort stared at Snape and raised his voice slightly:
"Because I don't know if you're as loyal as you used to be, and if you become Dumbledore's lackey, and expose me to him, won't I be in vain?"
Voldemort asked:
"Severus, you told me—I didn't dare believe you, so why should I believe you now, four years later?
You didn't even dare rush to me immediately when you felt the Dark Mark burning! ”
"Not bad...... I didn't come back until two hours later, host. Snape said with difficulty:
"I still followed Dumbledore's orders before coming back......"
"What, you came back at Dumbledore's words?" Voldemort was furious, and his murderous intent was surging.
"But there's a reason for that!" Snape hastened to explain:
"A few months ago, the Dark Mark was getting clearer...... I knew you were coming back! I have plenty of time to think about where to go...... Plan what to do next. ”
"Of course, I could have returned to you as soon as you were resurrected—the other Death Eaters certainly did, but it was the easiest and most trivial thing to do.
I know that you need me to stay and gain Dumbledore's trust and bring you a steady stream of information, which is the more valuable thing. ”
Voldemort finally stopped his torture and asked, "So, you've gained Dumbledore's trust?" ”
"Yes." Snape lay on the ground, gasping:
"Dumbledore had one of his greatest weaknesses: he always thought of others as good.
When I first left the Death Eaters to join his teaching staff, I made up a lie that I couldn't regret and told him, and then he welcomed me with open arms.
I've been honest all these years, which makes him believe even more that I am truly repentant.
And tonight, instead of going to you as soon as the Dark Devil marks pain, I went to report it to him. ”
"So, I dispelled Dumbledore's last suspicion and made him trust me completely." Snape's black pupils flickered in the night, and he exclaimed:
"Dumbledore even asked me to come back to you as an undercover agent as a double agent!"
Snape fell to his knees, looked up into Voldemort's eyes, and said emotionally:
"But master, Dumbledore, that idiot, he doesn't know, I'm actually your man...... Both physical and soul...... It's your people through and through. ”
