Library.

Daphne pretended to be calm and flipped through the books, but the way she couldn't help but look at John explained her panic.

Malfoy coughed dryly, covered his face with a book, and whispered to John, "John, are you a little too direct?" ”

John withdrew his gaze from Daphne, looked at Malfoy in surprise and asked, "What?" ”

"I mean," Malfoy said euphemistically, "it's public, and you can do it in private." ”

He wanted to say that your eyes were on Daphne.

However, thinking that he had been beaten up a few times, he decided to be tactful.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw John shift his gaze to Astoria on the other side.

Malfoy raised the alarm bell and warned, "John, I don't think you should be too greedy. ”

"I think you have a lot of energy today." John glanced at Malfoy, isn't this kid a little jumpy today?

"You're done with your homework? Or did Defence Against the Dark Arts surpass Harry? ”

Malfoy: "Isn't ......" specifically trying to stab other people's hearts?

Looking at a large pile of homework, Malfoy sighed for a long time, with an expression that life is long and happiness is so short.

Astoria also poked her sister and whispered with a complicated expression, "Sister, are you...... It worked? ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Daphne pressed her sister's mouth.

The last oolong incident made her afraid to walk with John for several days.

Astoria couldn't break free, and her sister's strength had skyrocketed since she started cooking.

She had no choice but to drop her hand in despair, and the kind appearance of the grandmother appeared in front of her.

Because Daphne covered her nose too.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time that this tragedy of fratricide did not happen.

John's fingers tapped on the tabletop, and the sound was gripping.

"The Greengrass family." He pondered.

I can't help but think back to the letter I received yesterday, and Mr. Greengrass saw his message in the newspaper.

He hoped that John would take good care of his two daughters.

Although Mr. Greengrass's reluctance to say this could be seen between the lines and the punctured letterhead, it also made John curious about the two sisters.

Mr. Greengrass told him that there was a curse in the Greengrass maternal line.

That curse is a type of bloodborne curse, which is passed on to the female relatives of the descendants as the bloodline lurks in the body.

The sisters had not yet shown it, but Mr. Greengrass feared that the curse would reach them.

It just so happened that he saw that John had won the Merlin Order of the Second Degree, and even the blood curse could be broken, so this curse should also be able to do so.

"Entrusted me with protecting them before they happen."

John squinted, scrutinizing gaze sweeping over his sister.

He hadn't really found out, and he wouldn't have known the curse existed if it hadn't been for Mr. Greengrass's reminder.

That curse will greatly reduce the life expectancy, and you will die before the age of thirty.

Daphne is now 15 years old, which means that half of her life has passed.

"Further examination is needed."

He pondered, completely oblivious to the fact that his eyes were overwhelming Daphne.

Just as Daphne was about to parry, John's badge shook slightly.

John came back to his senses and nodded his badge.

His expression changed, and he got up and walked quickly out of the library.

This scene made Daphne and Malfoy frown, and Malfoy also nodded his badge and asked Daphne, "Did you get any information?" ”

Daphne shook her head, "No. ”

"Is it Percy?" They now use group chats most of the time.

And the only one who sent a message alone, Percy would do this.

Although Furong is outside of school, she chats more in the group and complains about silver-handed angel investment.

Unaware that her boss was in the group.

"It's also possible that it's another." Daphne reminded.

In addition to Percy, they also have a companion outside of school.

Kim Ledisley.

Even though Kim rarely spoke, they knew he was doing something.

One thing that John wouldn't let them get involved in.

...

In the arsenal of the Star Society, John stared at a map and fell into deep thought.

There were several dots marked on it, but nothing he was looking for could be found.

"The rest is that place."

Look at a spot on the map, where the old Voldemort mansion is located, and where it is closest to the cemetery.

He rubbed his brow and sent the message to Kim.

"Do your best."

The badge fell silent, and John sighed.

Voldemort was an ambitious man, but he was also a very nostalgic man.

This can be seen in the place where he hid the locket, where he used to go when he was a child.

John wanted to find other Horcruxes, and the best way to do that was to search the place where Voldemort had been.

And this mission cannot be made public, let alone known to Voldemort.

Horcruxes are extraordinarily powerful, and require a strong enough will not to be affected.

Kim is a good candidate.

John searched both inside and out.

The interior refers to Hogwarts, and if there is one place that has the greatest impact on Voldemort, it is undoubtedly Hogwarts.

Judging from the Horcruxes prepared by Voldemort, he chose the relics of the Big Four as the Horcrux carrier, so Hogwarts means a lot to him.

The diary is in Malfoy's house, the gold cup is in the Lestrange treasury, and the pendant is in the cave of childhood.

There's a good chance Hogwarts will have a Horcrux, but John wasn't sure where he would put it.

Hogwarts is so mysterious, with a lot of magic and mystery in it.

"Neville, I hope you can find out." John chose Neville.

Because he is also a child who conforms to that prophecy, and at the same time the one who is destined to destroy the Horcruxes.

If the Horcrux is at Hogwarts, there are only two people who can find it.

Harry Potter or Neville Longbottom.

They are all children of prophecy, and prophecy has a mysterious destiny in the wizarding world.

In John's view, prophecy is nothing short of causal magic.

No matter how much you escape, you will eventually return to the prophecy.

John knew this very well.

He himself was a man with a gift for prophecy.

Externally, John asked King to search for Voldemort's former footprints.

With Voldemort's thoughts, he would never put all his eggs in one cage.

Glancing over the tabletop, John waved his hand, and the things on the table were put away in an orderly manner.

The map folded into the table, and a crucible appeared in front of him.

It was boiling with a metallic sheen liquid, and John threw some unicorn powder into it.

The fluorescent leaves were removed from a reagent bottle, and he carefully placed them in.

The liquid churned inside the cauldron, and John's brow furrowed, manic magic almost overflowing from it.

Under the nervous gaze, it gradually calmed down.

"There's a lot of magic in there."

Letting the cauldron continue to burn, John pulled out a new crucible.

Open the shelves behind the hidden display case, and there are reagent bottles densely placed inside, each bottle storing a white and pure soul.

Take one, add unicorn horns, and fuse.

A bottle of soul potion was refined.

"The next thing we need to know is what the specific curse of the Greengrass family is."

It is necessary to be prepared in advance to protect the soul before you can come into contact with the curse.

These bloodborne curses are extremely tricky, similar to werewolves and blood curses, both of which basically declare the death penalty.

The Greengrass curse, while not deforming, will greatly reduce life.

More like a chronic poison that eats away at the human body than a curse.

As pure-bloods, the Greengrass family must have also sought out those well-known wizards, who could not break the curse.

"It's said that it's blood, but it's more hidden in the soul."

The refined soul potion shook slightly in John's hand, and he was unsure whether to perform a soul operation.

It's better that he doesn't need to, and the mysteries of the soul can't be fully known even now.

Mr. Greengrass also said that it is possible.

If not, then it is the best, and if there is, then John needs to be fully prepared.

Any Bloodborne Curse requires a lengthy period of research.

"I need to talk to Daphne."

John walked out of the arsenal, and judging by Mr. Greengrass's letters, it seemed that the Daphne sisters did not yet know anything about the Bloodborne Curse.

...

Some people died, but not completely......
