Chapter 570 The Blood Alliance Belongs to Sean

,!

The antique jewelry box was stained with rust, and some peeling black silver flakes could be seen on it.

Fragmented - this was Sean's first thought when he saw the jewelry box.

When he opened the jewelry box, the contents inside made his heart beat violently.

This is true brokenness...

Another blood pact.

Broken blood alliance.

Even though the box was full of fragments, Sean recognized the contents at a glance.

The original owner of the box seems to want to put the completely shattered blood alliance back together, but the oath cannot be reversed.

Just the slightest movement caused by Sean opening the box, the blood pact full of cracks was broken into countless pieces like a corpse that had been dried for thousands of years.

Sean was stunned for a moment, then frowned.

Each blood pact will look different based on the characteristics of both parties to the contract. There will be no two identical blood pacts in the world - except for another blood pact brought by Grindelwald through the timeline.

However, the general shapes of the blood pacts are almost the same. The biggest difference is the silver pattern on the surface and the shape of the blood-colored gemstone in the center. Sean has verified this from Baron Skinner.

He had also seen the broken blood alliance between Baron Skinner and Baroness.

And this jewelry box, which was probably left by his ancestors, actually contained a broken blood alliance...

Sean licked his dry lips and waved his wand.

“Reparo”

The fragments scattered in the jewelry box trembled, like the tails of mice that were run over by a carriage and were still alive.

“Reparo”

“Reparo”

…

Sean, who had experience, continued to wave his magic wand, and the fragments in the box finally shakily gathered together.

The complete Broken Blood Alliance finally appeared in front of Sean. Although it was still full of cracks and could break again at any time, Sean could still barely make out the shape of the main patterns on it.

rose.

The silver edge wrapped around the blood-red gem was two entangled roses. I don't know whether it was because of the passage of time or because of the original situation. Sean found that the surface of one rose was brighter than the other.

It seems like... white roses and red roses?

Sean immediately thought of what the Sorting Hat told him. Nearly a thousand years ago, the oil painting knight who was in the same situation as Professor Dumbledore and who was suspected to be the ancestor of the Wallop family was called the Great White Rose.

This couldn't be a blood alliance between my ancestor and a certain person...

Sean frowned. He felt uncomfortable when he saw the broken blood alliance.

Um?

Sean suddenly thought of something.

The same broken blood alliance, the same wrong oil painting, this person who is most likely the ancestor of the Wallop family is in a very similar situation to Professor Dumbledore.

Does that mean that his ancestor also played the role of "committing suicide" in the Broken Blood Alliance?

Taking a step closer, Dumbledore took away the oil painting - he may have gotten inspiration and tips from the deeds of the ancestors of the Wallop family.

"Hiss..." Sean gasped.

The ancestors are above all, and no offense is intended by the descendants - but if there is any reminder, shouldn't you leave it to your own people first?

Sean glanced at the thing in his hand awkwardly.

"Um?"

He suddenly noticed keenly that the jewelry box seemed a little shallow and did not match the thickness seen from the outside.

Sean carefully placed the broken blood pact, and then studied the jewelry box.

With more careful study, coupled with the insights Sean had developed over time, he finally discovered something different.

There is not a hidden box hidden in the jewelry box, but... a space!

Sean pointed the bright wand at the gap in the jewelry box, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

This jewelry box doesn't look any different from the outside, but in fact, it's a magic prop.

Moreover, this magic prop is similar to the ring that Professor Scamander gave to him. The inside of the jewelry box is slightly shallow, which is actually to leave some space for casting magic spells.

There is a space expansion spell in this box!

The surprise in Sean's eyes was even greater. You must know that the era of his ancestors was nearly a thousand years ago. You can get a glimpse of it just by looking at the degree of decay of this jewelry box. However, the curse is still in effect!

Under normal circumstances, the space expansion spell is not constantly maintained and can last for about a hundred years at most, and the space inside it will continue to collapse, eventually "squeezing" out all the items in it.

The Broken Blood Alliance was obviously not squeezed out, and Sean's investigation also proved that the space extension spell inside was still in effect.

Is this what your ancestors left behind? What a powerful spell...

No, if my judgment is not wrong, then my ancestor should have killed himself like Professor Dumbledore. The dead can't gather the blood pact - is it the person who made the ancestor's blood pact?

Looking at the jewelry box in his hand, Sean was troubled.

If I guessed correctly, this box had the same opening spell as my ring, but the opening spell was set by the owner. I didn't even know who the jewelry box once belonged to, so it was difficult to guess.

Brute force cracking is even more unrealistic. Even if the person using this space extension spell is very powerful, after so many years, the space expanded by magic will inevitably be very unstable. Moreover, Sean doubts that there should be something inside the space that can emit magic power for a long time. The magic source is providing the magic power.

Brutal cracking is likely to cause the space extension spell to disappear directly and cause the magic source inside to explode.

But this opening spell cannot be guessed out of thin air...

"The Great White Rose?"

"The Great White Rose Wallop?"

"Eternally great but never eternal Wallop?"

Sean tried it, but there was no movement in the jewelry box.

"This is really difficult..." Sean's brows furrowed.

It is almost impossible to break the spell left by the predecessors without any information.

Looking at the jewelry box and the broken blood alliance that was broken into pieces again, Sean fell into deep thought.

He even came up with the idea of ​​dripping his own blood. After all, he is also a descendant of the Wallop family. Maybe there is some trick to "recognize relatives by dripping blood"...

However, it is too risky to rashly spill blood on an ancient magic item of unknown origin.

Although this thing remains in the hands of the Wallop family, thousands of years will cause too many changes.

Sitting down on the stone platform, Sean thought about whether there was any other way he could use, or whether he had lost some information.

Then it suddenly occurred to him that Professor Dumbledore had taken away the oil painting of the Great White Rose, and there was a chance that he could get some information from the oil painting, which would prove that the knight in the oil painting already had consciousness.

That being said, that strange state cannot be maintained forever.

In other words, if he can't find a way, Professor Dumbledore may start to have consciousness like the knight's portrait, which means that he is no different from other wizards who have passed away.

Thinking of this, Sean's mood became more and more urgent.

"Think of a way, think of a way...Is there anything left behind..."

My ancestor should be in the same state as Dumbledore, but the person who left this jewelry box should be the other party to my ancestor's broken blood covenant... Why did that person install a box with a space extension spell? Where is the blood alliance among the Wallop family?

Just for remembrance? It might be more suitable to put it in the tomb I formed first...

Sean suddenly thought of a more appropriate metaphor - this jewelry box, maybe more like a "will".

If we follow this line of thinking, then the descendants of the Wallop family will definitely be able to open this jewelry box.

Jewelry box...space extension spell...shattered blood alliance...

Sean was suddenly stunned and turned his attention to the broken blood alliance.

There is something hidden in the box, and the owner of the box wants the descendants of the Wallop family who can get the box to open the "will" and the broken blood alliance...

Is it a key?

If you want a box that others can easily open, it is easiest to place the key next to the box.

Sean immediately thought of what happened before.

That fragment can collide with his own magic power and cause time fluctuations.

When he held the fragment tightly, his uncontrollable grief even made him scratch his palm, and the blood on his palm stained the fragment, and a memory popped up in Sean's mind.

And memory allows him to prevent Dumbledore's death.

Grief... fragments... memories...

Sean's breathing suddenly became heavier, and he felt like he was the shapeless fragment.

That is also a blood alliance...

And Sean personally picked up the broken blood pact between Baron and Baroness Skinner, picked up the broken blood pact between Dumbledore and Grindelwald in another timeline, and also picked up the great White Rose and the unknown before him. The broken blood alliance.

Although he could feel the heaviness in the fragments, there was no overwhelming, overwhelming grief.

Sean suddenly understood why that thing could compete with his own magic power and cause time fluctuations.

That was his own blood pact... Sean Wallop's blood pact from another timeline.

Who did I sign a blood pact with, and... it was broken?

Sean frowned, the throbbing pain still fresh in his mind.

But this is not the key, this can be left to be considered later...

The key is, how did Dumbledore calculate all this?

Sean certainly believed that Dumbledore was a very wise old man. He had no tricks at all and could always accurately grasp everyone's psychology. In this regard, Grindelwald was very similar to him.

However, Sean's experience so far has also proved that no matter how smart a person is, there are very few things that can be inferred when there is a large gap in information.

In other words, Dumbledore had another source of information, one that Grindelwald in both timelines didn't know about.

For example, the Broken Blood Alliance belonging to Sean Wallop...

So how is this achieved?

Wait, I seem to have overlooked one thing, why Professor Dumbledore, who died at that time, can make a voice in my soul world. Although he is my beloved old man, in terms of soul, Dumbledore is the same as [Arrogance] , without Sean's permission, without 'tickets', Soul Sky Island will not be open to anyone.

I was too sad at the time, so I never noticed this. I only noticed that I couldn't think carefully because of Dumbledore's irreversibility...

Sean's heart moved, and immediately, his blue hole was stained with a black oily substance, and it started to spin silently.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he saw an empty island of soul in front of him.

Sean glanced outside, but [Arrogance] didn't show up.

However, this matter has nothing to do with [arrogance]...

Sean jogged to the Wallop family's villa in the center of the sky island, where Dumbledore was speaking.

Along the turf and stone paths, Sean searched carefully.

When he cast his gaze on the mailbox at the door, Sean shrank.

The mailbox has been opened...

At the beginning, the admission notice of Nurmengard was placed directly into this mailbox. After that, his cautious father was always worried that other wizards would send letters inside, so he simply modified the mailbox.

And on the empty island of his soul, the whole picture of the Wallop family villa will always change with Sean's memory.

Therefore, when the mailbox was opened, Sean could spot it at a glance.

He stepped forward and opened the mailbox again.

With the appearance of the contents inside, the uncontrollable grief surged into my heart again.

Lying in the dark mailbox was an incomplete and broken blood alliance.

It was different from the other three blood pacts, but Sean knew at the first sight that the broken blood pact belonged to him, or in other words, to Sean Wallop.

No wonder, no wonder Dumbledore was able to enter and exit his soul island, no wonder he didn't notice that there was something here - this thing originally belonged to him, with the deepest imprint of Sean Wallop, how could the soul island be there? What about rejection?

The sound of uncontrollable heavy breathing came, Sean slowly stretched out his hand, and paused in mid-air when he was about to arrive.

The emotions of fear, sadness, and panic came from nowhere, making Sean unable to control himself.

"Huh..." He took a deep breath, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the incomplete blood pact in the mailbox.

When he opened his eyes again, he returned to the basement with an incomplete blood pact in his hand.

Pressing hard again, the blood soaked the fragments.

Sure enough, that memory came back again.

"The day Grindelwald becomes one, use the Returned, stop Dumbledore, don't let him die - Godric's Hollow..."

Do you only carry this memory in Broken Blood Alliance?

Sean, who finally calmed down, frowned. He originally thought there would be more information in the blood pact... Was it because the blood pact was incomplete?

However, I found the key...

Shaking his head, Sean put away his own blood pact, and then looked at the blood pact of his ancestors.

The wounds that had not yet healed were stuck between the white rose and the red rose, and a lot of information suddenly appeared and began to hit Sean's head.

"I tried my best...I thought of many ways..."

"Come back...please..."

"sorry……"

"The mantra is: a love that never dies but never blooms again."
