Chapter 184 Armand
This time it was "Draco"'s turn to be stunned for a moment. The red light in his pupils gradually faded away, and bitterness appeared on his face. He pursed his lips and said hoarsely: "Did you notice it after all?"
"Draco..." Sherlin sighed, "You are sometimes very naive and a brother who doesn't make people worry... You are sometimes very impatient and will do irrational and stupid things when you are angry... You are sometimes very stubborn, He will always insist on some unnecessary and illusory pride..." Xie Lin calmed down his tone and expression, "But the Draco I know, he has the same blood flowing in his body as mine, he has never been a -"
"A person who will lose his pride, sell his soul, and betray his family is just like me -" Xie Lin raised his head and said loudly, his eyes shining, "He is an absolutely qualified Malfoy!"
"Xie Lin..." Draco's eyes were filled with mist, "I'm sorry...I'm really sorry..." Then his face changed drastically, "No! Leave quickly! Now! There's no time! Hurry-" -Ah! !" Draco let out a painful cry, grabbing his platinum hair tightly with his hands and trembling violently.
"Draco!" Sherrin pulled out his wand and pointed it at Draco. The end of the wand already lit up with four different colors. "Are you okay?"
Time seemed to have passed only a second, but it also seemed like a long time had passed.
Suddenly, Draco's trembling stopped. He raised his head with a weird smile on his face. His pupils suddenly flashed like lightning in the dark night, and then the entire black eyes suddenly turned a scary red. Rich black energy suddenly emerged from his body, and it was the richest that Xie Lin had ever seen in so long!
"Hey hey hey..." "Draco"'s voice seemed to have become another person's, low and hoarse, very ugly, but his aura was increasing day by day. At this moment, Xie Lin's face became very solemn. With his magic eyes, he could clearly see that the magic power of "Draco" had exceeded the level of elite Aurors, and he was only half a step away from the legendary Grand Mage. remote! (Note: This can be called a "quasi-mage")
Xie Lin cautiously took a few steps back towards the door. The aura from "Draco" put too much pressure on him. The astonishing aura alone was enough to make it difficult to breathe.
"What a touching brotherhood!" Draco, no, we should call him Armand here, looked at Xie Lin with the eyes of prey, and said playfully: "Before we start, I have a Question, how did you guess my existence?"
Xie Lin did not answer, but activated all the defensive spells on the Supreme Wizard's robe and Night Star cloak. Suddenly, a simple ring appeared from the void on the index finger of his right hand. The ring was made of dull black wood. Merlin's "Guardian Ring"!
At the same time, an ivory-white skull ring suddenly appeared from the void on the middle finger of his right hand. It was Grindelwald's elemental ring!
At the same time, a Ravenclaw crown appeared above Xie Lin's head, and a black shadow faintly appeared behind him, with a strange-shaped pendant hanging on the shadow!
The Supreme Wizard's robe, Evening Star Cloak, two rings, Crown of Wisdom, and Slytherin's Locket all seemed to come alive at this moment, emitting different magic fluctuations. Draco's bedroom was suddenly filled with colorful and complicated streams of light. Everything within sight is strange and bizarre.
But even though Xie Lin had loaded up a lot of equipment and trump cards, he could barely compete with Armand in terms of momentum. It could even be said that he was still slightly outclassed by the opponent. However, there is no longer the suffocating sense of oppression before.
Armand's eyes were full of disdain and contempt. He shrugged indifferently and allowed Schelling to inspire one power after another. He didn't even have the intention to retrieve his wand.
Xie Lin spoke slowly.
"The first time I noticed something was wrong with Draco was during the opening ceremony. He suddenly showed a scheming attitude that he had never seen before..." Although Xie Lin could tell that something was wrong on the train, he had no intention of saying anything. All the truth.
Armand clicked his tongue twice and said, "What a dishonest kid." His eyes suddenly became sharp, and there was a faint tearing sound in the air, and the surrounding area suddenly lit up, as if the empty room was electrified. Just such a look made the skin on Xie Lin's face feel a faint tingling sensation. Xie Lin could only take a step back again to reduce the pressure exerted on him by Armand.
Armand said: "I'm afraid you... you saw something was wrong with this guy on the train, right? But it doesn't matter, just keep talking and I will forgive you for your dishonesty this time..."
Xie Lin felt a chill in his heart. It seemed that the other party even knew a lot about his trump card. He continued: "Although Draco occasionally showed his scheming, most of the time, he still maintained his usual willful and somewhat willful attitude. He has an arrogant and even childish personality, so I didn’t think much about it and just kept it secretly..."
"It wasn't until we joined forces to fight against the old madman Moody that Draco suddenly showed unprecedented strength... Personality and mind may change slightly for some reason, but strength is something unusual... At that time , I am almost certain that he got the channel from somewhere and started practicing black magic. The biggest suspicion in my mind at that time was that my father..."
Armand waved his hand in disbelief, "Although your guess is not correct in this part, you are not far from the truth. What next?"
"After the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Draco asked me if I knew the Unforgivable Curse. I tried to enlighten Draco about the dangers of black magic, but I didn't dare to say more because I didn't know the whole situation. ...After that, Draco showed more and more abnormalities. He suddenly knew a lot of unknown magic, some of which even I had never mastered... Maybe it would be a bit arrogant to say this, but I don't think so. I don’t think any 14-year-old wizard in the world could do this..."
Schelling is definitely not bragging. He has been reading the family's collection of books since he was 4 years old. After receiving the hourglass of time at the age of 5, he started a crazy learning journey, mastering the secret spells of four families, and then Ravenclaw's treasure trove of knowledge, as well as the vast collection of books in the Hogwarts library.
He is confident that in terms of knowledge reserve, there are only a few old guys in the world who can be better than him, and they are probably only as strong as he is. The gap is by no means unattainable.
"The change in his mind can be said to be because he began to be given family responsibilities and missions and was forced to grow; the change in strength can also be said to be because he began to come into contact with some secret black magic; but the change in knowledge, This cannot be explained at all... Human mental power is also limited. Even if he has a time converter, he cannot acquire such a large amount of knowledge in such a short period of time!"
"At this time, I began to think that Draco was no longer the Draco I knew. The biggest possibility is that he was possessed by the remnant soul of a dark wizard... But I still have a doubt I can’t figure it out, that’s——”
"As far as I know, there are many black magics that can possess people and seize their bodies, but most of them can only be attached to the container temporarily, because the mismatch between the container and the soul is extremely easy to cause repulsion. You know Voldemort, right?"
Seeing that Armand showed no expression, Schelling assumed that he already knew about Voldemort from Draco, and continued: "He is the most powerful dark wizard in this century. He once possessed me when I was in first grade. On our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, but even he can't completely hide his tracks, so the poor professor has to wear a ridiculous turban all day long and his body is always covered in garlic. Smell to hide the possessed Voldemort."
"And there is nothing strange about Draco, not even a trace of odor. This obviously does not meet the description of being possessed."
"What a wonderful inference." Armand clapped softly, "You may be the most outstanding genius in the history of the Malfoy family. I must say that even I, at your age, understand I don’t know as much as you do.”
"Then what?" Armand asked.
"By chance, I happened to know a magic that can perfectly seize a body. This magic can perfectly integrate the host's magic power and soul, but the premise is that there must be a blood relationship between the two, that is, blood fusion. "
A gleam flashed in Armand's eyes, and he couldn't help but praise: "Awesome! You even know this. Then you know that Draco may have been taken away, why are you still indifferent? So, you I don’t pay much attention to your brother!”
"No." Xie Lin said categorically: "Because there is something unreasonable here. The principle of blood fusion is to let the possessed spirit devour the host's soul. So why can Draco still spend most of his daily life? How about maintaining his original character? If he is fused by blood, then his soul shouldn't exist anymore, right?"
"It's precisely because I didn't figure out this key, so I always stood still and chose to watch the progress of the matter with a cold eye. Anyway -" Xie Lin sneered, "Huh, no matter what Draco wants to do, , as long as I look at his motives, it is not difficult to guess his next actions——"
"His motives are not difficult to guess. In the final analysis, he wants to use his method to maintain the glory of the family so that the family can continue to believe in the concept of pure blood supremacy. Then fame is his indispensable key," Xie Lin said solemnly: "And the fame I have managed over the past three semesters has become an insurmountable obstacle for him."
"If you want to rely solely on excellent performance in a few classes and some sporadic words to undermine my reputation, these two such simple methods are tantamount to wishful thinking. So, he only has An opportunity, an opportunity for him to easily make a comeback——"
"The Triwizard Tournament."
"All the answers will be revealed on the day of the Goblet of Fire Ceremony..." Sherrin's voice gradually deepened, "The moment I was selected as a warrior, Draco's unbelievable expression told me everything. At that moment, I finally saw that he truly believed from the bottom of his heart that he was better than me."
"This is very interesting..." Xie Lin's wrist holding the wand suddenly exerted force. From just now until now, the wand has been absorbing the colorful light emitted by the major artifacts. At this moment, the lines on the wand's body are also faintly lit up, "He There is only one possibility to explain that he actually thinks that he is better than me, and that is that he is indeed possessed..."
Armand showed an interested expression, "Didn't you just say that Draco didn't have any abnormal symptoms of being possessed, and he still kept his own personality most of the time, so even if it was a blood fusion, it didn't fit the inference of being possessed?"
"That's because--" Xielin showed a mean smile, "I just know there is another magic that can do this--"
"Horcrux."
"Lord Armand II," Xielin's eyes burst out with unprecedented confidence, and even his momentum was slowly increasing. An invisible wave spread out from Xielin to the surroundings. The two rings, the crown, and the pendant box began to vibrate silently, emitting stronger and more dreamy colors. Xielin slowly said: "You are not a residual soul that has survived from ancient times, but a Horcrux!"
Did anyone guess? Did anyone guess? Did anyone guess?
