Hogwarts: I am Harry's Cousin

Chapter 348 342. Death Eater Survival Rules

"Isn't there some news that would make me a little happier?"

Voldemort's face seemed to be covered with frost.

The Death Eaters in the room didn't even dare to breathe out, for fear of being tortured by the Cruciatus Curse because they breathed out of the left nostril. Even Avery didn't dare to say a word.

"Of course, my lord."

As the fireplace suddenly burned with green flames, Lucius walked out gracefully. His body was not stained with dust from getting into the fireplace.

I saw him kneeling at Voldemort's feet, kissing his toes, and said respectfully: "The materials you need are all ready, now only the final introduction is needed."

There was nothing strange about the presence of a lifeless corpse next to it.

Peter spent a whole year collecting the materials, and Lucius only used one vacation. He even specially prepared two copies to prevent failure.

As for what the introduction refers to.

Of course it's the blood of the enemy

"These bunch of losers combined can't compare to you, Lucius."

Voldemort looked satisfied, and a sinister smile appeared on the goblin's face: "That 'lucky boy' is about to enter school, so that's his chance."

Lucius said understandingly: "Master, don't worry, you will see the 'introducer' within a week of the start of school."

Voldemort was even more satisfied now.

That's really good news.

"Master. I also found out some good news."

Lucius strolled up behind Voldemort and stood with his hands behind his back, assuming the position where his subordinates should be.

"Fudge didn't know who he heard what, and he was suddenly worried that Dumbledore would compete with him for the position of Minister of Magic. He was afraid that his power would be taken away, so he appointed his confidant, the Senior Deputy Minister of Magic, to Hugo. Gwarts serves as Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts and concurrently serves as Hogwarts' Senior Investigator."

"Investigation? Investigation of what? Is there a criminal hiding in Hogwarts?"

Avery saw that Voldemort's temper had softened a lot, and he sneered.

"Of course looking for evidence that Dumbledore wants to be Minister of Magic."

Lucius glanced sideways at the other person, his tone full of contempt, and then continued to say to Voldemort slowly: "I think this is an opportunity. Let Fudge and Dumbledore have a chance to fight to the death."

"Total idiot"

Voldemort said contemptuously, not sure whether he was talking about Avery or Fudge.

"Dumbledore, that old lunatic, really wants to be the Minister of Magic before it's his turn? Do you really think he can take the position of Minister of Magic with his abilities?"

Voldemort also felt that it would be a pity not to take advantage of such a good opportunity.

"Yes, Master, so Fudge cannot be Dumbledore's opponent."

Lucius said with certainty: "But we need to be careful that Dumbledore really takes this opportunity to run for Minister of Magic."

"Dumbledore will not run for Minister of Magic."

Voldemort interrupted Lucius and said very firmly that he did not give Lucius and the others too much explanation.

Lucius quickly organized his thoughts in a very short period of time and continued: "This makes me feel relieved."

"Our people have made arrangements. As long as Fudge steps down, he will take over as the next Minister of Magic."

Just because Avery couldn't handle it didn't mean Lucius couldn't handle it either.

The Death Eaters were once the largest organization in the wizarding world (receiving some of Grindelwald's 'assistants'). At their peak, their power spread throughout Europe, and their radiation and influence covered the entire wizarding world (although the plot was not expressive and the layout was not very good). No, but it was officially decided that the Quidditch World Cup, where 100,000 wizards gathered together, was frightened by a Dark Mark.)

However, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and their internals are not monolithic. Excluding the group of idiots imprisoned in Azkaban, the remaining people can probably be divided into the upper echelons of the 'ancient' purebloods headed by Lucius. people, and former Ministry of Magic officials headed by Avery. However, it seems that Avery does not have the ability to confront Lucius at present, and they have already considered changing their representatives.

Of course, there are also a small number of middle and lower-level people who were cut off by Karkaroff.

"Lucius, what are you going to do with the woman Amelia Bones, the current Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement?"

"After all, she is a department head. She has no dirty information. It will take some time to get rid of her."

"I can't wait that long, I can only give you one year."

The first rule of survival for Death Eaters is that no matter how rude Voldemort's request is, he must agree to it, even if it means getting rid of "Tang Monk, Master and Disciple".

But you can find a way to get other people to blame you. The completion of the mission is your credit, and the failure of the mission is the blame of your teammates.

"No problem, your request is what I expect. I will make 'that boy' incompetent for that position before the end of her school year, but I will need to use a little drastic measures."

"You know she is not a loser like Fudge. Being able to sit in that position means that she is very capable."

The Director of Magical Law Enforcement and the Minister of Magic are ready. As long as he doesn't make any big mistakes, he will be the next Minister for sure.

"I need to borrow someone from you"

"No problem, you can mobilize any Death Eater."

Voldemort was very satisfied with Lucius's attitude and efficiency. However, after he finished speaking, he added: "Lucius, my most loyal servant, as long as you complete this matter, no matter what you do in the future, Represent my will.”

This sentence carries a lot of weight. As long as Lucius agrees, it means that his status among the Death Eaters is second only to Voldemort.

Avery's eyes turned red instantly, and he shouted without Lucius even expressing his opinion: "Master, Lucius has only done a little bit, what you are doing is too much."

"You're questioning my decision? Huh?"

Avery broke into a cold sweat when he heard this.

Questioning Voldemort? How dare he? !

He was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy.

How much is face worth? He couldn't bear either the Cruciatus Curse or the Death Curse.

And this situation is extremely common among Death Eaters.

Which Death Eater dares to say that he has never done this?

"Master, how dare your humble servant expect to represent your will. Compared with yours, my wisdom is as worthless as the weeds on the roadside. As long as I can do my best for you, I will be satisfied."

The second rule of Death Eater survival rules is that when Voldemort shows unconditional trust in you, you will most likely be alert. Do not be complacent or even do anything exaggerated. You must show fear when necessary.

Because you never know whether the mentally disturbed guy in front of you really trusts you or is testing you.
