Chapter 528 526. For the highest pure blood
Lucius is nervous.
But his appearance is still as calm and composed as usual, with his eyes raised above his head.
At least in the eyes of the surrounding purebloods, there is nothing unusual about him.
In this valley, many wizards wearing black robes had gathered at this time. Above the sparse forest, the dark green mark of the Dark Demon was shining brightly, guiding the way for the villains.
Soon, it was the time agreed by Wormtail.
This wizard who looked like a big fat mouse respectfully placed a gold cup on a high-backed chair, and then knelt down in front of the chair obediently.
Around him, there were many Death Eaters with unattractive faces, who had obviously suffered a lot before, but whose eyes were extremely fanatical when they looked at the golden cup, and they all fell to their knees.
Followed by people like Malfoy.
Most of the pampered Death Eaters were still hesitating, but when the dense black mist that everyone was so familiar with surged out of the golden cup, no one stopped, and they all fell to their knees, There is no longer any doubt that their master, who has been missing for more than ten years, is really alive.
In the black mist, the youthful Voldemort was formed in a flash of green light.
He doesn't look like an entity, but even if it's illusory, it still gives people a sense of intimidation, making everyone present dare not look up and meet his gaze.
"How many people didn't come?"
That magnetic and youthful voice sounded, making those kneeling on the ground lower their bodies even more, and Wormtail, who was kneeling beside the chair, replied.
"Master, a total of six people, Selwyn, Durank, and Seba did not arrive."
Voldemort in the black mist nodded flatly, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Don't worry, we'll see them soon."
Then he looked at the Death Eaters who were kneeling on the ground.
"It's been a long time, my old friends."
"I'll deal with Voldemort, you find an opportunity to take away the gold cup, and leave the remaining Death Eaters to the Aurors."
Dumbledore assigned Jon a task, and the Aurors behind him, led by Moody and Kingsley, approached the valley where their target was.
Jon naturally had no objection to this, but the group of Aurors behind them looked at Dumbledore with a hellish expression. They all knew that Dumbledore's behavior was different from ordinary people on weekdays, but they couldn't help it. Not to the point of messing around at critical moments.
And now Jon's appearance doesn't look like someone who can take on heavy responsibilities.
Even Kingsley, a former member of the Order of the Phoenix, expressed concern about Jon's identity. He even suspected that the current Jon was actually transformed by some perverted wizard who liked to dress up as a boy.
"Who is this?"
Dumbledore vouched for Jon's identity.
"Someone we can count on. I'm pretty reliable on some key decisions, right?"
After hearing what he said, Kingsley certainly had no more objections.
Jon didn't feel much about it. He and Lily were just passers-by in this world, and neither of them intended to stay for a long time. As long as the task can be completed, it doesn't matter what other people think of them. Big deal.
“.I know what some of you have been thinking all these years.”
The cold voice made the Death Eaters who were the last to kneel down tremble uncontrollably.
"I felt that my situation was over and everyone had disappeared, so I started to think carefully, and lied that I was once under the control of the Imperius Curse, and never really obeyed me."
Including Lucius, this group of idiots all fell into an ice cave, thinking that the liquidation was about to begin, but Voldemort's words changed obviously.
"But you didn't betray your companions and friends after all."
While he was talking, Bella pulled out a row of corpses with a grinning grin, causing every Death Eater present to hold his breath.
Of course they all know these people, and the most representative of them is Karkaroff who used to sell the information of his companions in order to obtain a reduced punishment. The others are also former informers.
If Malfoy and the others are just scumbags, then these people belong to the switching camp that leaves no room for change, and they are a complete betrayal of Voldemort.
Seeing those corpses, Malfoy and the others could not help but breathe a sigh of relief while their eyelids twitched wildly.
Everyone is old-fashioned, and it can be seen that Voldemort is killing the chicken to warn the monkey. Now that the chicken has been killed, the monkey must be safe.
"I can tolerate your selfishness, but what I cannot tolerate is complete betrayal."
Voldemort's voice became even colder, and the Death Eaters kneeling on the ground were submissive.
"You should all know what they did, and I hope you also understand that no matter what you do, you must leave yourself a way out, don't you think so? Lucius."
Lucius trembled a bit. He lowered his head so that no one could see the expression on his face, but he seemed afraid not to answer.
"We only have one way out, the master!"
People around couldn't help but stare sideways at him, not knowing whether they were admiring his quick response or being ashamed of what he had done.
As if Voldemort was satisfied with Lucius' answer, he said softly.
"I hope your answer is sincere."
He didn't linger on Lucius for too long, as if the question was just a casual question and had no more meaning.
Voldemort's voice became louder.
"I called you here today because I want you to give an accurate answer. More than ten years have passed, and some of you have gained more power and stage in today's magic world than ever before, and now I am back. "
He stared at everyone present and asked word by word.
"Have you forgotten your promise?"
Bella knelt down on the ground with a look of fanaticism, and the Lestrange family beside her also looked excited and excited.
"We never forget!"
"For the highest pure blood!"
All the Death Eaters around were also prostrate on the ground. Since they chose to come here, they naturally couldn't have any other answers.
The birds in the forest were startled, and the oath of the Death Eaters echoed.
"For the highest pure blood!"
