Science and magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 213 Transition
Papapa

It wasn't a strange voice, but Kyle clapped his eyes in agreement:

"Mr. Voldemort, you finally let me see the demeanor of a generation of Dark Lords."

"To be honest, I would be really disappointed if you directly begged for mercy or surrendered to me. That would not only represent your failure, but also the failure of the previous generation of Slytherins."

"The magic world has always evaluated you as a lunatic, a cruel butcher, and an executioner. This really lowers the image of Slytherin, so I have always looked down on you."

"But I didn't expect that when you were at the end of the road, instead of begging for mercy like a bereaved dog, you regained the pride of Slytherin, and only then did you look a bit like the Dark Lord."

Whether Kyle's words were praise or sarcasm, they did not interfere with Voldemort at all.

At this time, Voldemort folded his hands on his chest and looked at Kyle with a cold face, without any change in expression.

Kyle once thought that as long as he was kept alive, this guy who claimed to be leaping to death would be able to accept anything without a bottom line.

Even if his freedom is enslaved, even if he is turned into a slave, the Dark Lord, who pursues immortality by all means, will be forced to accept it.

But I didn't expect Kyle to guess wrong.

The whole thing was completely within his grasp until he offered his allegiance.

Holding the locket Kyle in his hand, he completely grasped Voldemort's life.

Under the threat of Fierce Fire Curse, this old guy did choose to cooperate obediently.

But that all changed when Kyle offered his allegiance.

The pride of the Dark Lord actually supported him not to bow his head, but instead threatened Kyle with his own death.

Kyle could tell that Voldemort was not performing at this time.

When this group of guys confronted Kyle, they really had the mentality of killing each other.

But Kyle didn't feel embarrassed.

Voldemort's attitude just made the matter more interesting.

"Mr. Voldemort, speaking of it, I should call you teacher. Your arrangement in the cave has taught me a lot."

While pacing slowly, Kyle was talking useless words to delay time.

In his mind, he was thinking of countermeasures rapidly.

Unless the old Dengtou can lower his status and become Kyle's full-time consultant sincerely.

Otherwise, Voldemort's allegiance, or the help Voldemort can provide, is absolutely unmatched by others.

Snape was a master of potions.

But apart from his own talent, Voldemort's guidance is absolutely indispensable.

And Bella.

As far as Kyle knows, this is also a master of black magic, and her achievements are also inseparable from Voldemort's guidance.

For his loyal subordinates, Voldemort has never been stingy in imparting knowledge. This is the reason why the average level of Death Eaters is not inferior to the Order of the Phoenix.

This shows how powerful Voldemort is.

But unfortunately, Kyle's trick of delaying time cannot escape Voldemort's eyes at all.

"Should I say it was my pleasure?"

"Let me guess, you learned the method of transforming Yin corpses in the cave? Presumably the materials I prepared for Yin corpses have not been let go by you."

"Also, you have been delaying for so long, have you thought of how to convince me?"

Hearing Voldemort's words, Kyle couldn't help laughing.

This is the joy of meeting your opponent.

"Of course not. Today's Mr. Voldemort is really beyond my expectations."

"Why don't you tell me, sir, what exactly do you want?"

"What do I want?" Voldemort looked at Kyle amusedly:

"I want to rule the magic world, I want eternal life, I want endless magical mysteries."

"Kyle, you can't give me what I want."

At the end, there was a trace of loneliness in Voldemort's eyes.

What he and Kyle said was exactly what he had pursued by unscrupulous means.

Voldemort's main body is already insane, so it can't see Dumbledore's trap.

But as a fragment of Voldemort's early divided soul, the locket is much more sane than his subject.

So when he eavesdropped on the fall of Voldemort's body more than ten years ago, he knew he had lost.

It's not that I lost to the so-called prophecy, the so-called fate.

Instead, he lost to Dumbledore and the magic of Horcrux, which he had high hopes for.

Dividing his soul made him lose his mind.

And Dumbledore took advantage of his madness and let him step into the trap of death.

Although the Horcrux allowed Voldemort's body to survive, but in his current state, how could he be Dumbledore's opponent?
So the pendant box knew very well that he had already lost.

More than ten years ago, when he unscrupulously divided his soul, he had already lost.

Proud as Voldemort, he didn't let this loneliness last for too long, but quickly restrained his emotions, and then looked at Kyle indifferently:

"When you don't hide yourself, but show your talent to Dumbledore, you are destined to walk a difficult road."

"Dumbledore and the power he represents are the biggest obstacles in your way. Presumably this is also the reason why you intend to conquer me!"

"Since you belong to Slytherin and you are on the road to the Dark Lord, I can give you a chance."

Having said that, Voldemort's expression was very serious.

As for Kyle, although he was still spinning his wand carelessly, there was a trace of solemnity in his eyes.

Seeing Kyle's reaction, Voldemort smiled with satisfaction:
"I'll give you a chance, give you a chance to impress me."

"If you can convince me, then I will do my best to help you."

"Give you my knowledge, my secrets, and even my hidden power."

"But like I said, you only have one chance, and once you miss it, don't expect anything from me."

After finishing speaking, Voldemort looked at Kyle playfully:

"You don't need to answer me in a hurry. After you think about it, come to me."

After speaking, Voldemort's figure turned into black mist again, circling and rushing into the ornament box.

This old guy was brazenly showing his arrogance to Kyle, but Kyle was not annoyed by it.

Voldemort's mind has already been grasped by him almost inseparably.

So instead of pressing Voldemort any further, or trying to convince him right away, he turned and walked out of the room.

When he was almost at the door, a burst of brisk words floated into Voldemort's ears:
"Since Mr. Voldemort insists so much, it doesn't matter if you sell your face as the former Dark Lord."

"It's just that next time, I'm afraid it won't be so simple."

When it comes to this, Kyle's words are already full of hostility:

"Don't tell me any nonsense about fish and fish, come back next time, and I will bring you reasons to convince you, as well as a complete enslavement plan."

"Don't make me really turn you into a house-elf, I'd be very sorry if I got to that point."

After finishing speaking, he closed the door vigorously, leaving the pendant box in darkness.

After a long time, in the darkness, a faint sigh came out.

I have to say that although it was a crooked attack, Voldemort really hit Kyle's weakness.

He really didn't want to destroy the Horcrux.

Although he knew there were two more in the castle causing chaos.

But under Dumbledore's nose, he can't guarantee that he can snatch the Horcrux.

How could Kyle be willing to destroy him so easily before actually getting an alternative?

But this stalemate is only temporary.

When he has fully mastered the means of enslaving Voldemort, the initiative will return to Kyle's hands.

Just as he was thinking, walking towards the energy storage room, he bumped into Professor Snape who was covered in blood.

At this time, the image of the professor was extremely embarrassing.

The black robes of abstinence, which had always been neat, were already dilapidated.

Not only was the bottom tattered, but even the body had a few holes.

It seems that in the face of the brutal acromantula, he was as strong as the professor, but he couldn't retreat completely.

But obviously, the professor returned to the old house after treatment, and there was no trace of wound on his body.

It's just that he doesn't know how much of his blood stains belong to monsters, and how much belongs to himself.

The professor's appearance was beyond Kyle's expectations, so he couldn't help asking in surprise:

"Professor, why did you come back so soon?"

He originally thought that Professor Snape would have to be busy for a while after such a big incident at school before he could return to the old house.

But looking at the relaxed look on the professor's face, it was obvious that he had already dealt with the troubles in the school and could concentrate on research.

Professor Snape, who was in a good mood, rarely put away his usual sarcasm, but replied briskly:

"Most of the giant [-]-eyed spiders have been cleaned up, and the rest of the work is to search for those who fled the battlefield."

After finishing speaking, Professor Snape, who had always been indifferent, smiled at Kyle with a cheerful expression:
"However, the school affairs are not over yet. Those giant eight-eyed spiders are full of precious magic materials."

"My most handy potion tools are in the old house, so I need to bring them back to the castle."

Speaking of these magic materials, the professor's expression became even more joyful.

Although this reason is different from what Kyle guessed, it is really in line with the professor's behavior style.

Kyle suddenly felt that the reason why the professor is still single may not be just because of Lily.

As for him seeing precious magic materials, it's like seeing a little Lolita, which girl won't be scared away?
Fortunately, Kyle has been in contact with the professor for so many years, and he has already gotten used to his love for potions.

Kyle knew very well that if he continued the professor's words at this time, there would only be two results.

First, the professor used a sarcastic tone to popularize to Kyle the preciousness of the acromantula and which potions it could be applied to.

Second, the professor said in a sarcastic tone: You know what a fart!

Kyle, who neither wanted to bore himself nor wanted to know more about the acromantia, decisively chose to change the subject:
"Professor, let's not talk about the acromantia for now, how is your preparation for the resurrection potion?"

"Resurrection potion?" The professor looked at Kyle suspiciously: "Why are you urging this all of a sudden?"

No wonder the professor is surprised. Since he took over the project, this is the first time Kyle has asked about the progress. He and the portraits have been allowed to play freely before.

But the professor just asked casually, and then replied:

"Now that something like this has happened in the school, it will inevitably delay the progress."

"So at least until the end of the day, we can make a preliminary plan."

"Can't you hurry up, within a month, can you give me a first draft?"

Kyle's words finally caught the professor's attention.

I saw that he restrained the relaxation on his face, frowned and looked at Kyle, thinking about Kyle's intentions in his heart.

Kyle understood the professor's doubts, so he didn't let him think about it, but quickly gave an explanation:
"If I'm not mistaken, the things in the school are definitely caused by Horcruxes."

"I can't guess which Horcrux it is now, and I haven't found any trace of him yet."

"But professor, we need to prepare the means to deal with him in advance."

Hearing this, Snape's face was already extremely serious, and a dangerous light flickered in his eyes:

"How can you be sure that there is a Horcrux, rather than an heir of Slytherin, in the school?"

"Why wouldn't it be some reckless little animal that awakened the blood of Slytherin by chance?"

"The marriage policy of those pure-blood nobles has spread these ancient bloodlines among all the families."

"Even in Dumbledore's blood, there is actually a trace of Lord Slytherin's blood."

"If I remember correctly, Dumbledore's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother has one-sixteenth Slytherin blood."

Speaking of this, the professor's words are full of sarcasm:
"If it weren't for Fox's affinity for him, I would have suspected that he had awakened the blood of Slytherin."

"Otherwise, how could such a pure lion family breed a snake in lion skin?"

"What a perfect metaphor!"

Hearing the professor's description of Dumbledore, Kyle almost burst out laughing. After agreeing with his words, he still couldn't help but confirm again:

"He's definitely a snake in lion's skin!"

The professor's metaphor simply expressed Kyle's heartfelt feelings.

Looking at Dumbledore's various behaviors, isn't it just a snake that sneaked into the lion's house.

Fortunately, Kyle knew that serious matters mattered, so he didn't continue to talk about Dumbledore with him, but answered the professor's question softly:

"Whether the person behind the scenes is a Horcrux or a small animal with awakened blood, he is definitely from Slytherin."

"Because the way of doing things after the secret room has been opened these few times is not like the style of the other academies."

"But before, we have basically ruled out the possibility of little snakes, so professor, there is a high probability that Horcruxes are still playing tricks."

Although he doesn't want to admit it, but thinking about what he did after the secret room was opened a few times ago, it really looks like what the students of the Snake Academy did.

But because he doesn't have more clues like Kyle, the professor still insists on his point of view:

"It's still too early to jump to conclusions. It is not ruled out that students from other colleges are imitating Slytherin's style of doing things."

"I will rush to prepare the resurrection potion, but I will not relax the investigation of other colleges."

Having said that, a trace of anger flashed in the professor's narrowed eyes:
"If it wasn't for Horcruxes, I wouldn't let other people slander Slytherin like this."

What can Kyle do, he can only shrug his shoulders helplessly, responding to his professor with a complex expression:

"Professor, what you said is very reasonable! It seems that my reasoning ability is really in the same line as yours!"
