Science and magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 229 An Assist from an Old Mentor
The two of them, Lucius, could see what Kyle was doing. He was using the creepy energy in the cave to infuse Voldemort, who was obviously not cooperating.

And it can be seen from Voldemort's screams that this process is definitely not very friendly.

Lucius is fine.

He had witnessed and even participated in countless atrocities committed by Voldemort. He was used to this kind of bloodshed and would not feel sorry for the Dark Lord.

On the contrary, Narcissa turned her head away a little unbearably.

Lucius protected her well.

Although the platinum nobles themselves bear a lot of darkness and blood.

But this girl who came from the dark and paranoid Black family, and then married into the ambitious Malfoy family, has always maintained the original simplicity and beauty.

What she loves most is the flowers in the garden. Every day, she goes to trim the garden by herself to see the blooming flowers.

What I like to do the most is to cook desserts for my husband and son by myself, even if their house elves hit the wall collectively.

If her beloved Draco told her that the cookies baked today were delicious, then she could make these cookies for a month, until Lucius, who couldn't bear it, began to find all kinds of excuses to stop her behavior.

Even in the craziest war years, Lucius did not let the madness of Voldemort and the blood of war.Enter Malfoy Manor.

Maybe the little princess of the Black family only experienced a period of reality in the world during the days when Lucius was in prison.

For the rest of the time, whether it was her husband or her son, they pampered and coaxed her in various ways.

But today's accident broke Lucius' protection for her, and the sound of wailing and cursing kept piercing into her ears.

But Narcissa suppressed the discomfort in her heart, even fear, and hid behind her husband tremblingly, without saying a word.

Lucius knew his wife, so he held Narcissa's hand back, and then looked at Kyle.

But before the words in his mouth could be spoken, he felt Narcissa behind him gently tugging at him.

Looking back, Lucius saw Narcissa shaking her head at him.

Although the expression is a little weak, but the eyes are very firm.

Just as Lucius knew Narcissa, Narcissa also knew her husband very well.

If she didn't stop her, Lucius' choice must be to let her avoid it first, and maybe even take her back to the old house, and then rush back.

This little princess, who was born in the Black family, is very aware of the current situation, and now is not the time for a long-term relationship.

The Malfoy family can't miss a single message, and can't make a wrong decision.

So under such circumstances, the best way to do it is to do nothing. Only in this way will Kyle not be distracted and get as much information as possible.

Lucius had an ugly look on his face.

He knew what his wife was thinking, and knew that Narcissa's decision was the right one, but feeling his wife's trembling, Lucius turned his head firmly.

The interaction between the two was watched by Kyle the whole time.

Although he was helplessly sprinkled with dog food, there was a smile hidden in Kyle's eyes.

No one wants their allies, their subordinates, to be truly cold-blooded monsters.

So before Lucius could speak, Kyle waved and called Kreacher:
"Take Mrs. Malfoy back to the old house first. Believe her and Mrs. Black, there is still a lot to say."

After finishing speaking, Kyle smiled and looked at the two:
"I didn't think carefully. The environment here is not suitable for a noble lady. A delicious refreshment should be enjoyed by ladies."

Kyle's words were a good solution for the two of them.

Lucius nodded reservedly at Kyle, but his gaze, which looked like Kyle, became more friendly.

Narcissa on the side didn't refuse again, she gracefully raised the corner of her skirt to Kyle, and then let Kreacher lead her away.

After Narcissa disappeared, Lucius walked up to Kyle and stood beside him:

"Kyle, do you think the Dark Lord will succumb?"

"If the time can be delayed a little longer, I have [-]% confidence that he will be able to succumb, but unfortunately, what we lack is time."

Kyle's words are somewhat meaningful.

Lucius grasped the point of his words at once, and began to think carefully, but he continued to ask:

"Why do you say that? I believe it's not a day or two since you got the pendant box. Why did you suddenly become so radical at this time?"

"Because Voldemort's other Horcruxes are already eager to try, and Dumbledore, that old fox, also already knows about the Horcruxes."

"If we want to get a share of the Horcrux, we have to act quickly."

This answer made Lucius a little silent.

He thought carefully about Kyle's answer.

Judging the truth of the reason.

If true, the hidden information behind this is somewhat intriguing.

Not to mention what Kyle wants from Voldemort's Horcrux.

This act alone was enough to shock Lucius.

Where did Kyle get the confidence to intervene in the battlefield between Dumbledore and Voldemort, and openly treat himself as a third party?
Lucius himself also did not fail to trip up Dumbledore, and even confronted him face to face.

But Lucius is very clear that everything he participates in is a game within the rules.

Only in this kind of game can I dare to confront Dumbledore head-on.

Because he knew that that cunning old fox would definitely abide by the rules of the game.

But what Kyle wants to get involved in is completely different.

This is completely a tiger's mouth.

This is not a political game, nor is it a rivalry between nobles.

When it comes to Horcruxes, he believes that Dumbledore will definitely let go of his hypocrisy, and will not hesitate to show his coldness and strength to anyone who dares to reach out.

Not to mention Voldemort.

Kyle's behavior will definitely anger Voldemort completely.

Once the Dark Lord was successfully resurrected, he would never mind torturing Kyle himself.

It will not be fed to Nagini until he is tortured insane.

Lucius looked at the arrogant young man beside him, guessed his hole cards, guessed his thoughts.

But unfortunately, although Kyle has made a lot of noise in the magic world, those actions are not enough for him to see through this boy.

At this time, Voldemort's wailing became the background of the two, and the eerie evil forces surrounded the two, but neither of them took it seriously.

Kyle looked at the Horcrux in the forward base leisurely, while Lucius stood aside solemnly, full of uneasiness in his heart.

This uneasiness stems from Voldemort, and it also stems from the teenagers around him.

Because compared to Kyle telling the truth, he is more inclined that Kyle's answer is just a perfunctory.

Because of Kyle's behavior, he has been pushed into a dilemma.

Is it really because of Horcrux's non-cooperation that Kyle asked about the pendant box so abruptly?Is it really because of the urgent time?

Could it be because this young man also couldn't judge the authenticity of the diary, so he took the initiative to break up the negotiation with the pendant box?
As long as the truth is not revealed, regardless of the authenticity of the diary, the platinum nobles are doomed to start preparing for the way out.

Could this be Kyle's real purpose?
Lucius was never afraid to second-guess others with the utmost malice, and now he could only hope that Voldemort would succumb as soon as possible.

But after all, he can't stay here all the time.

If he hadn't heard the truth with his own ears when he was there, no matter what Kyle told him later, Lucius would not easily believe it.

This will make things even more difficult for Lucius.

In just a few minutes, Lucius thought through the matter thoroughly.

And what he thought was exactly why Kyle did this.

Originally, Kyle's plan was to use the fact that Lucius destroyed Voldemort's Horcrux to pull the platinum nobles onto his boat.

Even if this guy is half-hearted when he is on the boat, even if this guy is on two boats or even three boats, as long as he gets on the boat, Kyle has plenty of ways to make him follow him obediently, and he will never be able to get off the boat.

But the news brought by Lucius disrupted his deployment.

In the Chamber of Secrets, the Horcrux he saw was a crown.

He thought that was what Lucius had given up, and he even marveled at the courage of the platinum nobility because of it.

But what Lucius brought to school through Draco turned out to be just an ordinary diary.

This thing did not meet the selection criteria for Horcruxes at all, and if Lucius hadn't lied, Bella actually had something that Voldemort gave her in her hand.

Would the dark lord, who had always been suspicious, trust two of his subordinates at the same time and ask them to help him preserve the Horcrux?

This possibility is not high, especially since one of the Horcruxes is just a diary.

This made Kyle, who was originally holding the wisdom beads, begin to doubt his own speculation.

Fortunately, Lucius was also not sure whether the diary was genuine or not.

Simply Kyle made mistakes and pushed the situation to a point where it was impossible to tell the truth from the false.

As long as Lucius can't be [-]% sure that the diary is a fake Horcrux, he must prepare himself a way out.

While Kyle isn't his only option, it's definitely one that can't be ignored.

For a while, the cave fell silent, only Voldemort's wailing proved that there were still people here.

Kyle's plan is very good. The two have fallen into a game at this time, and they are caught in a game that Lucius is destined to lose.
But unfortunately, Voldemort did not intend to cooperate with him.

Kyle still underestimated Voldemort, or both he and Lucius underestimated Voldemort.

As one of the protagonists of the previous era, Voldemort, who also came from Slytherin, is of course a wily man, but his later madness concealed this strategy.

But as the divided soul fragments, surprisingly, they did not inherit that madness.

When Kyle brought him in front of Lucius, he didn't realize that something was wrong.

After all, before that, Kyle had shared the secret of the Horcrux with Snape, and even allowed him to study the locket.

But when Kyle suddenly turned against him, Voldemort realized that something was wrong.

At that time, he understood that Kyle didn't intend to know anything from him, and he didn't even intend to give him a chance to speak.

While Kyle and the two were observing him, although the pain made Voldemort howl uncontrollably, he was actually quietly observing the two outside the door.

He saw the suspicion between the two, and even guessed Kyle's plan.

So although he didn't know why Lucius paid attention to the carrier of the Horcrux, and even didn't know whether his answer would contribute to Kyle's goal, he still decided to take a gamble.

After all, he really wanted to see how deflated Kyle was, even if he did so, he might face even more terrifying punishment.

So when the two were silent, Voldemort yelled loudly:
"Let me out, stop this damn magic circle, and I'll tell you the answer!"

"Lucius, my dearest friend, I will tell you everything you want to know!"

The pain made the Horcrux unable to maintain Voldemort's image, and only a cloud of black smoke could be seen rolling in the magic circle.

But Kyle clearly heard schadenfreude in Voldemort's voice.

Lucius on the side didn't care about this, and looked at the ornament box with surprise on his face.

He doesn't care about the filth between Kyle and Voldemort, he just wants to know the answer:
"My respected master, please tell me what your horcruxes are, I only need this answer!"

Kyle, who was on the side, saw that the two had bypassed him and started communicating on his own, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He was no longer expecting Voldemort's answer.

After all, how could an ordinary notebook be seen by Voldemort and turned into a Horcrux.

Voldemort also saw Kyle's displeasure.

Although the evil force still tortured him, he still couldn't help laughing:

"My dear friend, since you want to know so much, I will tell you mercifully."

"I did it five times before I was put in the cave."

"Slytherin's locket, Ravenclaw's diadem, Hufflepuff's cup, and the Gaunt family's ring..."

Having said that, Voldemort hesitated a little.

Kyle and Lucius didn't know what he was hesitating about, but they were still attentively waiting for the answer.

It's just that the expressions of the two are completely different.

Kyle couldn't hide his anger, but Lucius couldn't help laughing.

A notebook, how can He De compare with the above four things?

The hesitation did not last long:
"The last one is a notebook I used when I was a student."

After speaking, Voldemort gloated and looked at Kyle.

He couldn't wait any longer, he was eager to see this kid who was extremely angry but had to force a smile.

But unfortunately, reality slapped him hard.

Because Kyle couldn't help laughing wildly.

On the other hand, Lucius looked as if his own father had died.
