Chapter 496 The Secret of the Dark Lord

【No! 】

Harsh screams came from the clearing, and all the figures in the black mist rushed towards Ivan with distorted faces, covering up Asia, Hermione, Luna and others who had fallen to the ground and had not yet disappeared.

It's just that their faces now are terrifying, their expressions are all twisted together, and black mist is constantly spraying out from their eyes and mouths.

"Calling the Guardian!" Ivan quickly pulled out his wand, and the flashing white light directly tore through the black fog. The black shadows melted and disintegrated under the dazzling white light as soon as they rushed in front of him, and the screams stopped.

Everything around him returned to its original state, with Harry, Sirius, Lupin and others standing not far from him.

The Horcrux placed on the table became dim, and many fine cracks appeared inside the locket. Ivan stepped forward to pick it up and took a look, only to find that the thing had been damaged.

Ivan sighed. Voldemort's remnant soul was so deeply involved with this magical item that damage inevitably occurred when the remnant soul was destroyed.

"What happened to the black fog just now? I suddenly couldn't see anything." Harry didn't understand what happened at all, and looked at Ivan blankly.

"Don't worry, the fog was caused by this thing. Now I have destroyed it." Ivan shook the locket in his hand, and then asked Harry and others what they saw in the black fog.

The three of them all shook their heads, saying that they were trapped in a dark space with nothing but black mist.

Ivan immediately understood that the Horcrux was using most of its power against him. Apart from reading some memories of Harry and others, it did not specifically target them.

"Sirius, can you lend me this locket to study for a while?" Ivan looked at Sirius and said.

Although the locket is broken, it belongs to Slytherin, so maybe he can learn something from it.

"You're welcome, I'll give it to you directly!" Sirius waved his hand, not paying attention to the antique-looking locket at all.

In addition, this thing was destroyed by Ivan, and he has not yet thanked Ivan for Regulus.

"But Ivan, did you use snake language when you opened the locket just now?!" Sirius suddenly remembered that Ivan had made a strange note to the locket before, and asked hesitantly.

"Well, I found someone to learn it last school year. To be honest, it's not very difficult. Many people can learn it!" Ivan looked away from the locket, feeling that Sirius was really making a fuss, so Then he turned to look at Harry and continued.

"Are you right? Harry!"

"Ah, that's right. I can also speak snake language." Harry hesitated and nodded. He could communicate with snakes, so it should be considered snake language.

Sirius and Lupine looked at each other. Snake language is a very rare talent. It is usually associated with dark wizards in rumors. When did it become popular? Can this thing still be learned?

"I heard that Professor Dumbledore can also speak parsel! So your ideas are too old. Just like Sirius, your family, although there are many bastards, there are also justices like you and Regulus. Isn't it?" Ivan explained again to eliminate their doubts.

Sirius and Lupine smiled bitterly, not knowing how to retort.

Kreacher, who had also recovered from the black fog, was staring closely at the cracked locket in Ivan's hand and screamed excitedly.

"Sir! You destroyed it. Oh my God, you actually destroyed it! Kreacher Kreacher finally fulfilled Master Regulus's request." The old house elf trembled, with big tears rolling down his face. It slipped from the corner of his eye and dripped to the ground.

"Thank you so much, sir!" Kreacher was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He stretched out his dirty hands that were wiped with runny nose and tears, and wanted to hug Ivan's thigh, but Ivan dodged him.

Sirius quickly ordered Kreacher to stand still and waited until the house elf calmed down a little before questioning him.

"Kreacher, I want to know more about Regulus and what happened at home after I left."

Kreacher sniffed and spoke intermittently, talking about how sad the mistress and other members of the family were after Sirius left home.

"Humph, they will be sad? Come on, they should be sad that after I ran away, the reputation of the Black family will be affected. Don't think you don't know that my mother has removed me from the family tree!" Sirius curled his lips disdainfully.

Kreacher stared at him with eyes the size of lightbulbs, but in the end he flattened his mouth and continued talking about what happened after that.

Not long after Sirius left home, the Dark Lord became more and more powerful, which attracted the attention of the Black family. The Mistress expressed great appreciation for the ideas proposed by the Dark Lord, so she provided a large amount of funds to help Voldemort build his power.

Bellatrix joined the Death Eaters after that, and so did the rest of the Black family, and finally Regulus!

"Master Regulus was very happy at that time, because the Dark Lord was very fond of him and regarded him as his right-hand man, but this is what he should be. Which wizard can be as good as Master Regulus?" said Here, Kreacher was very proud.

Sirius poured cold water on it. "That's just because Voldemort wants to win over the Black family to continue to be his capital pool!"

Sirius saw clearly and was very aware of his brother's abilities and talents, and he would never let Voldemort take him seriously to this extent.

Therefore, what the other party really wants is abundant funds and the impact of taking Regulus Black, the heir to the oldest wizarding family, under his command.

"Sirius, you'd better say less! How long will it take you to finish speaking when you interrupt Kreacher like this?" Ivan rolled his eyes. People are dead, why are you correcting these details?

"Okay, I'll try not to talk from now on, okay?" Sirius shrugged, looked at Kreacher and said. "Quickly skip these useless things. You haven't told us why Regulus chose to betray Voldemort in the end?"

Kreacher shook his head blankly. It didn't know why Regulus made such a change, but it still tried its best to remember.

"One year after joining the Death Eaters, the young master has changed. He is not as happy as before."

"He often whispers to Kreacher, because Kreacher is a trustworthy house elf. Master Regulus said that what the Dark Lord wanted to do was different from what he thought, and that he might have done something wrong.

Then some time later, the Dark Lord personally summoned Master Regulus. After that, the young master stayed in the library reading books all day long and did not come out for several days. The library is in a mess, and Kreacher has to sort it out every day."

"And Master Regulus didn't eat properly for several days in a row. Until the sixth night, he came out of the library very excitedly and said that he had figured out the Dark Lord's secret." Kreacher said intermittently as he recalled. .
