Chapter 20: Noble friendship

For some people, reputation, or more narrowly speaking, face is everything.
Would rather die than lose face.
The blonde old man is obviously such a person.
As a guardian of a pure-blood family, he is an emperor-like figure. It ’s already a great thing to come down and observe it personally. If it ’s fried by a stinky melon, it smells like and urine. What's wrong, let alone being disfigured. Imagine a face with a stinky face, which is definitely an eternal shame.
And the premise of all this is that ‘the ancient family never joke about magic. ’
This is also one of the contents of the verification. If the stinky leaf melon is really like the warning sign, then it can basically prove that there is indeed an old guy here.
With the change of atmosphere, the young generation nowadays rarely treats magic with caution and awe. Only the old guys still cling to some dogma, such as: magic has never been 100% safe.
This is also the reason why the blonde old man let Marco Travers, who has been worse than the funeral dog in recent years, go to test the water. You can be arrogant during the discussion, but you have to be careful.
Marco can be regarded as an old river and lake with one leg stepping into the ranks of old birds. He knew that this matter was quite dangerous, and even the murder was hidden, but he could only gamble.
If the behind-the-scenes person here is Voldemort, there is nothing to say. Although Voldemort has a surly temperament and a fierce style, he also needs a servant. For him, it is a good umbrella.
If the lucky test is over and the whole body retreats, that's not bad, and get a lot of money. And as long as he has money, he can get a hiding place. He really needs a rest for a while.
The worst case is that Catherine has secretly turned to the Order of the Phoenix as described in a certain statement. Then when he was caught, he would have to pay for the killing of the McKinnon family.
Of course, this is Marco ’s own worst-case scenario, the actual situation is even worse, but the root of this situation is too bizarre, and Dumbledore cannot guess.
In this festival full of warm taste, the old bee is enjoying a large lemon-flavored ice cream in his office.
And in his head, he was thinking about how to deal with the resurgent Shafik family.
Catherine remembered that it was not Slytherin, but was assigned to Ravenclaw by the sorting hat, with a brain and no ambition.
In the first half of the Wizarding War, Catherine was still a child. In the second half, she had to join the team in a semi-understanding state, and then it was a nightmare-like escape journey.
This age calculation tells us that the wizarding war lasted for eleven years, the winter of 1981 ended, and now it is almost eight or seven years, and Catherine is twenty-seven years old, that is to say, when the wizarding war began, Catherine Only ten years old, not enough to enter Hogwarts.
Dumbledore clearly remembered that Catherine entered school one year later than Stanley and left school two years later. When she was involved in the wizarding war, the war has been in its sixth year, and the Voldemort line gradually showed a victory posture, and the largest standing team began.
But on the other hand, precisely because of these impressions, he felt that there must be a strong person behind the Shafick family.
protector? Still a negative coder?
Is not clear, but he thinks that all of the Shafick family is not something Catherine can do. She has no such skills and pattern.
He prefers Catherine to accept the cooperation conditions of a powerful wizard walking in the dark in desperation and helplessness. He is willing to endorse and even take his son in.
"Or just because of Little Kane, the child spent a very young age under the threat of exile and death. With a stubborn illness, it is said that it is difficult to live to nine years old."
If Dumbledore knew what Kane was doing, he would probably not lament his innocence, but would try his best to kill it.
In the dark basement, Kane, who had helped Marko's wounds, stared at Marko without saying a word.
There is no light, no fingers can be reached, but Marco can see Kane ’s eyes, because the eyes are glowing, the sapphire blue crystals are like glowing ice chips, and the pupils are dark gold, as if the years are in them. Cohesion.
Marco bet, this is definitely not a pair of human eyes. Compared with Voldemort's Shuttle cat pupil, it is easy for people to speculate the roots and appear too shallow.
If every peculiar pupil has a theme, Voldemort's fear is inhuman. The one in front of him is endless and mysterious.
Is indifferent and ruthless, but the source is different. Voldemort's contempt is condescending, and the reason in front of him is to see through all things.
Kane's body is very broken, the magic erosion spreads like cancer, spreading from the trachea to the vocal cords, which makes his voice hoarse, without the childish sounds that ordinary children should have.
In order to avoid coughing, his voice is not very habitual. So there are some characteristics of Snape's speech: the sound is only a little higher than whisper, but it is very penetrating and makes people hear clearly.
"Marco, I know that in the face of life and death, everything else seems to be worthless. But I still feel the need to make you understand something. The core essence of the wizarding war is an adjustment of the distribution of rights and interests of the wizarding world. Including Voldemort Many of them are just a footnote, a figurative display. Whether they are dead or alive now. "
Marco frowned secretly, and didn't understand why the other party would suddenly slap these with him, but it must be said that the other party's harmonious whisper seemed to have the magic of the legendary "speaking spirit", gently tapping his heart, but it caused The shock is effective enough to make him want to listen and think involuntarily.
"Fang Li, Shafiq, and Traverse are all drawn from the very beginning of the pure blood family. The reason is also simple. If you lose power, you will lose dignity, but you will dominate the interests. Yield. "
"Hiss ..." Marco was touched. He thought hard subconsciously, thinking about the past, and the situation of himself and his family, and found that many things happened, it seems to confirm the other party's words, at least this statement can not be Difficult to explain all phenomena.
Mako's eyelids drooped and slept.
As long as there is a little recognition, Kane's confusion hypnosis will be effective, and then continue to strengthen until hypnosis is achieved.
Unlike ordinary hypnosis, this enhanced technique emphasizes the inversion of thinking when the target is hypnotized. Simply put, if the other party is fooled and believes your evil, then he is basically over.
Both Stanley and Catherine have twisted their will from the beginning of believing, thus opening the road of ‘soul shaping’. Of course, it ’s shaping souls.
This kind of delicate magic operation can only be bent again through the same or higher level of magic skills, but even then, the consciousness is not the original one, but only conforms to most of the temperament characteristics of the original one. So it is appropriate to say that this person is dead.
Marco? Traverse's obscene ruffian life came to an end in advance, and then opened a new life ...
The blonde old man went through this incident and deepened his fears.
He wasn't sure that the black smoke that took off from Nozawa Castle and eventually returned there was Voldemort, but he was at least certain that Catherine was still connected with Death Eaters, even that she was a deep hidden Death Eater herself.
"I knew there was something behind this! I warned them long ago, it is not accidental that the Shafik family can escape for four years!"
Yes, the blonde old man has a deeper understanding than Dumbledore.
Not only because ‘what kind of person there is in the eyes of the world’, but also because he and other people ordered and appointed the dark creatures, Muggle killers and mercenaries who chased the Shafik family.
He also suspected that his judgment was wrong because of a series of operations after Stanley surrendered himself.
But now ...
Although he did not want to see it, he admitted that the Shafik family had guarded again.
"Who is it? Nathaniel, who is similar to Dumbledore for many years and is said to have been tested and handicapped, or the legendary black Adam of the previous generation ..."
The blonde old man was no longer too tangled in this kind of thing. Whether there is a guardian is the point, and who is not the point.
As long as there are guardians, anyone who wants to reach out will have to decide whether they can pay the heavy price.
Not only caused by the guardian, but also other families. If the weak state is revealed, the previous allies will not mind the claws, tearing the interests of flesh and blood, and even pushing people to the cliff completely is not impossible.
Collaborate but beware, this is the ecological relationship between pure blood families.
So many times, the words can be heated, but it takes a little more care to do things.
"Let yourself stand in the sun completely, and use the intruder to create the dark prestige. Good calculation!" The blonde old man silently thought about the actions of the Shafick family, but it was irritated but very helpless.
"It's time to cut off some threads. A blood baron, an Alpha wolf, they can die." The blonde old man looked vaguely and turned around, disappearing in a sudden yellow sand ...
