Chapter 414: Conspiracy Surfaced (Part II)
What to do, Voldemort is absolutely insane! He probably wants all the Death Eaters to make Horcruxes and reshape their bodies!
Also, if you don't go crazy, he won't have a chance!
A resurrected person, maybe Lockhart could arrange a group of Aurors to pinn it down, but what about two or three, or even more?
Lockhart broke out in a cold sweat, but he still forced himself to calm down: there were fifty or sixty Death Eaters who still hadn't been caught, but it was impossible for all of them to be with Voldemort, after all, not every Death Eater had the Mark of the Dark Devil, and the most likely thing for a Death Eater who didn't have a contact with the Dark Lord was to hide in some remote corner.
Let's say there are thirty Death Eaters with Voldemort...... Voldemort would ask them to make all of the Horcruxes...... How many people will succeed?
Slowly, as if because of his own killing, he scared all the families of those Death Eaters away...... They may have been with Voldemort at this time...... How many are there? About ten pure-blood families, with an average of ten people per family......
Merlin, how can this calm down, even if only a single-digit Death Eater succeeds in making a Horcrux, and then uses the resurrection soup to reshape the body, as long as he reaches half of his combat power, then his plan to unite the other two old Chinese wizards to deal with Voldemort will be completely bankrupt......
――
"Professor, are you busy today?" said Gabrielle, who came to the office again, and the little girl arrived on time every day as if she were at work.
"I'm sorry, little baby, I've been busy for the past two days, can you read by yourself on the side?" Lockhart said with a strong smile, he was so nervous that his brain began to hurt again, so he had to take a sip of Xiao Meiwa's blood pressure first: "No...... Come over and let me kiss it first, my dear. ”
Gabrielle obediently ran over to let him hold and suck blood, and after the headache was temporarily relieved, Lockhart completely calmed down: the raw materials of the resurrection soup were very precious, and even if Voldemort sent someone to rob a few potions-growing estates, he would still be far from able to get them all...... Wrong. Maybe Voldemort didn't do it......
No, such a large-scale, neat operation across the whole of Britain, only the Death Eaters could have done.
Maybe Voldemort was just preparing the raw materials for his own possible resurrection?
No, if he only prepared the raw materials for his resurrection, he could buy some on the black market at home and abroad, and the ransacking of several potions plantations was clearly preparing to reshape the flesh of a large number of Horcrux owners......
What to do?
The best way to do this is, of course, to find the Death Eaters before they have made Horcruxes, before they have gathered the materials for the resurrection potion, or even before their souls awaken after death, destroy their stronghold, and kill Voldemort......
But that's not easy to say, the Ministry of Magic hasn't even had the slightest information about the other party's whereabouts so far......
The safest course would be to use the same means as the other side, as in the case of nuclear deterrence in the Muggle world. It is useless to deal with a nuclear power and think about how to prevent its nuclear bombs from falling on its own soil, and the best way is to also have nuclear weapons that are enough to destroy the other side and even the entire world.
But can Lockhart do that?
No, the biggest difference between the "White Lord" and the Dark Lord is that the former uses all the methods used by the latter, which can be imitated, coerced, enticed, and even killed...... But the madness of the latter is something that the former cannot and dare not imitate.
Forcing Siris, Remus, Severus and even Hermione, Harry and others to make Horcruxes and then kill themselves?
Hehe.
Fortunately, Voldemort must not have known about the existence of such a thing as a nuclear bomb, otherwise he might have ruined the world.
――
Lockhart suddenly thought of the resurrection potion improved by the wizard named Zhang Jianshuo. Able to increase one's mana affinity by corroding and regenerating one's body, but ...... This method will make people's bodies very ugly and even deformed, and if you want to recover, you must use the Philosopher's Stone, which is not to exchange the total amount of mana for mana affinity.
And the effect will not be noticeable......
After all, it's just tossing on the outermost layer of human flesh. How can it be reborn without moving muscles and bones?
――
Gabrielle sat across the desk and looked at him with big green eyes: "Professor, why are you sweating, I learned the Cool Spell, do you want to try it?"
"No need. Thank you. Lockhart smiled at Gabrielle, laughing at himself, thinking he had a chance to win. I've started to play with beautiful girls.。 When I entered this office, I was even struggling with how to get rid of the passionate pursuit of a red-haired girl, but in a blink of an eye, I fell into a worry for my life.
Maybe it's not that bad. Lockhart tried to reassure himself that he was now wondering if he could openly discuss Horcruxes with the other Order of the Phoenix. Tell me all about how to make the Horcruxes and the process of resurrecting yourself...... It doesn't seem to help, it only makes them nervous......
Only Snape, Hermione, and Ginny knew what was going on, but it was useless for the two girls to tell them.
Lockhart pulled out the note and contacted Snape. He is unlikely to have a good idea, Lockhart just wants to find someone reliable to discuss, the joy of sharing with others can be doubled, and the fear of sharing with others can be alleviated.
――
Half an hour later, the Headmaster of Hogwarts arrived at the Minister's office for Magic.
Gabrielle was coaxed away by Lockhart, and Snape sat in the chair where the little girl sat before, silently reading the Potions Plantation loss report, and threw it back on the table with a calm face: "There are still a few very important potions missing, and they are very difficult to handle...... The reason why the Dark Lord wants to make such a big deal is because the basic medicinal materials that are responsible for providing magic power are in great demand. ”
The implication is that Voldemort may not have gathered all the raw materials yet, but he can't relax, and Lockhart understands.
"You're saying that the remaining raw materials don't need a lot of them?"
"Yes, the remaining herbs are very important, essential but not used in large amounts. With the Dark Lord's ability, if you have to get a little bit, it's definitely not a problem. ”
"It's not a good consolation. Lockhart's eyelids jumped.
"If you just want me to comfort you, you can start preparing things now. ”
"What's that?"
"Take your frowning wife, flee abroad, and live incognito for the rest of your life. A sneer cracked into Snape's rigid face: "Not only do you have to prevent the Dark Lord from finding you, but there are also many enemies who want you to die......"
"It's impossible, tell me if you have any good ideas!" Lockhart didn't even think about escaping, leaving behind the beautiful life in front of him and running away, wouldn't he really become the villain of the adventure story!
――
"There's no good way to do it other than to do the same thing as him, but I know it's impossible. Snape also realized that something was wrong: "Of the three ideas, the best way is to get him out at once and kill him before his plan succeeds, the second is to find a way to build up a wizarding force that is strong enough to resist even if his plan succeeds, and the worst plan is to maintain the status quo, relying on the superiority of numbers and geographical advantages, and waiting for the intervention of other countries...... But it's basically waiting for death. ”
Or is Snape more mentally qualified, and he can think about problems without panic in this situation...... Maybe that's the difference between someone who is afraid of death and someone who isn't afraid of death. Lockhart also completely calmed down under the influence of the calm expression on the face of the current Headmaster of Hogwarts: "It's hard to find him out immediately, it's impossible to be precise...... The last way is to wait for death, and there is no doubt about it, then-"
Lockhart began to think seriously about the second option: to build a wizarding force that would be strong enough to resist even if Voldemort's plan succeeded, which would be equally difficult, but it could be achieved by finding a way......

[For Voldemort's reward, I've been really busy lately, and I'm almost done writing, I can't add more, I changed 1000 words a day for the first two days, which means. Then ask for a recommendation ticket]
