Chapter 534: Voldemort Holds a Meeting, Pettigrew Takes the Throne
Malfoy Manor.
There was an exquisitely crafted long table in the conference room, with Voldemort sitting at the top. On both sides of the long table sat a dozen Death Eaters... It looked a bit pitiful.
He, the most terrifying and powerful Dark Lord in history, now only had a dozen minions.
There were not enough people for the meeting!
It is worth mentioning that Peter Pettigrew was standing at the door of the conference room at the moment, looking at Voldemort and a group of Death Eaters with a pitiful face.
Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him.
Even if the seats were not full, Voldemort would not fill the seats and let a guy like Peter Pettigrew sit here.
That was an insult to others!
Looking around, the dissatisfaction and impatience on Voldemort's face were already visible to the naked eye.
A bunch of trash!
They don't even know the Patronus Charm.
Dementors don't seem to be very powerful, but that's just because Dementors are blood-repelled by the Patronus Charm.
If you don't know the Patronus Charm, take another look?
Dementors can't kill you!
Since the Ministry of Magic can safely let Dementors guard Azkaban, it makes sense.
Dementors appear in groups and are very powerful.
Once a large number of Dementors approach, even a powerful wizard will instantly lose the ability to resist.
Azkaban has been established for so many years, and only three people have successfully escaped.
Barty Crouch Jr. was able to successfully escape because of his father's position and his mother's willingness to exchange Barty Crouch Jr. for herself.
Sirius was able to successfully escape because Animagus is immune to the perception of Dementors.
As for Peter Pettigrew... Needless to say, he was rescued.
Waste!
No one else can escape from Azkaban!
Although Dementors are blood-repelled by the Patronus Charm, wizards who can use the Patronus Charm basically cannot break out of prison.
Who are the people who can break out of prison?
Look at these people in the conference room!
Voldemort, and the Death Eaters.
They wanted to break the prison, but they didn't know the Patronus Charm at all.
It's not that everyone doesn't know how to do it.
But sitting here, you can only say that you don't know how to do it.
Imagine if a Death Eater said that he could use the Patronus Charm, what would happen next?
What! You can use the Patronus Charm?
Then you must be a fake Death Eater, you are not loyal to the Dark Lord at all!
As a qualified Death Eater, you should not know the Patronus Charm. Only by being completely obsessed with dark magic can you be the most loyal to the Dark Lord.
"Lucius..." Voldemort set his eyes on Lucius Malfoy, and he was ready to make some trouble.
Voldemort didn't forget that it was Lucius who personally delivered his Horcrux to Dumbledore.
The last resurrection plan was also because Lucius was fighting for power, which made Dumbledore aware of everything.
This man is a waste!
If it weren't for the fact that the Malfoy family was rich, Voldemort would have killed him long ago.
As for now...
Before draining the Malfoy family's savings, Voldemort intends to temporarily spare his life.
However, if you want people to pay voluntarily, a little intimidation is necessary.
"Master, Master..."
Lucius trembled all over. Although he was trembling a little, he still tried to maintain his demeanor and said: "That kind of magic, I can no longer use it. I have been studying dark magic for these years... I am loyal to you."
Voldemort was about to taunt him, and suddenly saw Pettigrew Peter standing at the door and raised his hand tremblingly.
"Huh?"
Voldemort was stunned, with a hint of obvious impatience in his hoarse voice, and said lightly: "Wormtail, I hope to hear good news."
"Master, Master!"
Petty Peter said weakly: "I can use the Patronus Charm... I can deal with those Dementors."
Voldemort: "..."
A group of Death Eaters also turned their eyes to Pettigrew Peter.
Brother, you are narrowing your way!
Yes! This is good news.
But for you, this is not good news.
You, a Death Eater, actually know the white magic of the Patronus Charm, which requires a happy mood to use. What does this mean?
This means that you are not loyal to the Dark Lord at all!
Voldemort grinned, "This is indeed good news. Wormtail, how do you think I should reward you?"
"This is what I should do, Master." Pettigrew Peter said humbly.
He really didn't have too many extravagant demands, he just wanted to live.
But if possible, he wanted to live a better life.
Voldemort's eyes turned, "I think we should also add a seat for you."
As Voldemort finished speaking, a chair was automatically pulled out from under the table.
"Sit down... Wormtail!" Voldemort said lightly.
"Thank you, my master!" Pettigrew Peter's face was full of ecstasy.
Voldemort not only did not trust Pettigrew Peter at all, he even looked down on him.
Because Pettigrew Peter joined him because he was afraid of death.
This guy can betray his best friend because of fear of death. Then one day, he could also betray others out of fear of death - for example... betray Voldemort.
Originally, Voldemort wanted to hand Peter Pettigrew over to Snape.
After all, these two people have a grudge.
But now...
Voldemort suddenly discovered that Peter Pettigrew is really a talent!
He actually knows the Patronus Charm!
Among the group of dark wizards, this is a rare high-end talent, and it may even be unique.
Loyalty is shit!
Fear of death is shit!
In front of the Patronus Charm, these are nothing.
Voldemort's plan to win over the Dementors failed!
And this means that Peter Pettigrew can not only play a major role in this prison break plan, but also in the next war, he is the only weapon against the Dementors.
It's a bit sad to say it.
When did the Dementors become the enemy of the Death Eaters?
After Peter Pettigrew took his seat, Voldemort looked around and said calmly: "Lucius, you are responsible for finding out the guard situation in Azkaban... I will only give you three days."
"After three days, I will personally come to Azkaban to rescue my friends."
Lucius tried to make an 'excited' expression and said: "Yes, Master! I will never let you down this time."
Barty Crouch Jr. said with a grim face: "Azkaban... That's really a bad memory."
"I heard that the old guy was also imprisoned..."
At this point, Barty Crouch Jr. turned his eyes to Voldemort, "I'll go with you, I have some personal grudges to settle."
"Of course!" Voldemort said kindly.
Barty Crouch Jr. grinned when he heard this.
For Barty Crouch Jr., the man in front of him was more like his imaginary father.
As for the guy who was imprisoned in Azkaban and had the same name as him... He was just his father by blood.
And he will soon cut off this blood relationship with his own hands just like Voldemort did!
Thinking of this, Barty Crouch Jr. was slightly excited.
