Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

Asking Professor Dumbledore for knowledge in the field of rules is naturally a top priority, but since it is still summer vacation, the principal may not necessarily stay in the castle, so Andre is not too anxious.

In the following days, he and Sophia have been trying to use the Salem Witch Association's method to improve their integration with Leviathan's characteristics, and the results have been good. At least his height has not completely returned to normal, but That's almost it.

When he originally set off for the United States, he was about 1.7 meters and a half tall. Now, after fully integrating Leviathan characteristics, he has returned to 1.8 meters and a half. Although he is still very tall for a boy of this age, he is relatively tall. Considering his height, which already stood out among the students, it was quite normal.

As for Sophia, the fusion of blood power is much simpler than that of Holy Acorn. She has restored her previous height and weight, but if necessary, she can completely transform herself into a two-and-a-half-meter-long or even taller person. A giantess over three meters tall.

It's just that although the two of them have achieved good success in fusion, there is no progress regarding Leviathan's most powerful rule power. Andre can feel that his efforts over the past month may have improved. The maintenance time is about 1 minute. If you really face an enemy like Teresa, this extra time will not have much effect.

And Sophia is even worse. She has not yet mastered the ability to transform objects and demons. The only improvement she has received during this period is that the magic power she can mobilize has become larger and larger. However, the distance from the realm of rules has not narrowed even a little bit. .

Of course, she herself is not dissatisfied with this. After all, in Miss Witch's view, she and Andre are in a very safe situation now, and there is no need to worry about being captured by the Free Magic Union or the Salem Witch Association. In this case , it’s no problem if her strength doesn’t improve much.

Although Andre felt that the current situation between the two of them was indeed safe, he had to consider the future. If Dumbledore still chose to die for Harry, their amulets would disappear in the sixth grade. Without the principal, not only would Voldemort begin to invade the castle, Teresa would never let him and Sophia go.

He didn't think he could really change Dumbledore's mind, not to mention that now he didn't have any other ideas on how to deal with Harry's half of the Horcrux. Maybe Dumbledore's choice was the right one.

And if things still develop like this in the end, then he must become a wizard in the field of rules before then. By then, whether facing Voldemort or Theresa, he will at least have a certain ability to protect himself.

But speaking of Voldemort, he remembered that he still had a Ravenclaw diadem in his space pocket. Since returning from Norway, he had never spoken to the fragment of the Dark Lord's soul residing in it.

On the one hand, there was really nothing important that required the use of the Dark Lord, but on the other hand, he was also worried that too frequent contact would lead to uncontrollable consequences.

But now, he wanted to have a good talk with the young Tom Riddle.

After last Christmas, although Andre had already known about the realm of rules, he only had a superficial understanding of it at that time, and Professor Dumbledore was not willing to tell him too much about this realm.

But after killing Ivan this time and successfully escaping from Teresa's hands, he already had a vague concept of the rule field.

To put it simply, except for wizards like him who accidentally mastered the power of special rules, it is impossible for ordinary wizards to defeat the strong ones who have truly set foot in this field.

According to Ivan and the others, Professor Dumbledore is a genuine rules wizard, and he is even more powerful than Theresa. Does this mean that Voldemort is also a strong man in this realm?

But the question arises again. If Voldemort is also a rules wizard, is he also under the jurisdiction of the High Table? But why did he cause such a big turmoil in the British wizarding world, but no one except Dumbledore came forward to stop him?

In addition, Ivan resurrected the Dark Lord last summer, and joining Voldemort is really a strong man in the field of rules, not even weaker than Dumbledore. So where did Ivan get the confidence to control such a powerful existence?

The only way to know the answers to these questions is to ask Voldemort himself or Professor Dumbledore. Of course, there is no need to tell the former. As for the latter, Andre is not sure whether their principal will tell them. He told the truth, after all, Dumbledore has always liked to let students discover the answers on their own.

Therefore, asking for the soul fragment in the crown is a good choice. Of course, Tom Riddle in the crown has not been in contact with Voldemort's body for many years, unless he has become a rules wizard in his youth. Otherwise, he may not know the current strength of his body.

However, no matter what, if you talk to the other party first, you may be able to get some information.

"Long time no see, Mr. Riddle." Taking out Ravenclaw's crown from the basement, Andre said to the phantom that emerged with a smile on his face.

A trace of confusion appeared on Voldemort's handsome face. He had been stored in a wooden box with a confinement function by Andre. He could not sense the passage of time in the outside world at all. For him, he was still in Norway at the last moment. The dark magic trap he had set for the boy in front of him had been suppressed for a day, but now the place where he appeared again was the basement where he first appeared.

Moreover, Andre looks like a teenager now, even a young man. Has it been so long?Such an idea appeared in Voldemort's mind.

After all, after Andre merged with Leviathan's special potion, his height suddenly grew to more than 1.8 meters. Although his face was still a little weak, he no longer looked like a child.

Valley</span> "You dispelled my magic?" After thinking about it, Voldemort asked.

If he hadn't asked this question, to be honest Andre himself would have almost forgotten that when he was in Norway, he was almost unable to use magic because of the trap set by Voldemort himself. However, judging from his current knowledge, In fact, that magic is not too powerful. It just suppresses the connection between the wizard and the magic sea, just like the signal interference in the Muggle world. If he is hit by that black magic again, it will give him the Leviathan characteristics. The authority of the magic sea does not need to be specifically lifted to break through this obstacle.

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stand in front of you like this and communicate with you calmly now, right? Mr. Riddle?" Although he did feel a little disgusted when he thought about Voldemort tripping him up in Norway, But now that the witch lady has come back, he didn't get angry with her. After all, this is just a soul fragment.

Voldemort was silent for a moment. He naturally thought that Andre was able to successfully solve the black magic in Norway only because he told Ivan about the solution to the curse, and then Ivan taught it to Cole. However, although he did not know how to solve the curse, How did Andre solve the magic suppression? He did not continue to dwell on this problem, but asked: "How many years has passed since the last time I came out?"

This made Andre stunned. He really didn't expect that Voldemort would have such a misunderstanding because of his sudden height. Of course, he didn't have to tell the truth to Voldemort. Maybe he could use Voldemort's misunderstanding. , pulling out more information from him.

So Andre opened his mouth and lied: "It's been five years, Mr. Riddle."

Five years later, Voldemort was shocked. When Andre brought him out of the Room of Requirement for the first time, he naturally couldn't believe the boy's words. But now, with the sudden tallness of the other person, he couldn't believe it. There were no traces of transfiguration at all, so Andre certainly didn't lie to him about time.

And for five whole years, his true form did not appear and he did not snatch the crown back from Andre's hands. What does that mean?Does it mean that the main body has failed as the boy told him before?

Naturally, Andre didn't know what this soul fragment was thinking at the moment. He just told a lie and had not yet thought about how to get the words out of the Dark Lord's mouth.

"So, why are you looking for me this time?" Although it is not clear to what extent Andre's strength has evolved in the past five years, Voldemort knew that if this little guy didn't have something important, , will never take out Ravenclaw's diadem again. Last time he did it for the corpse of the Norwegian wizard. What is it for this time?

Andre smiled and then said: "I specially asked Mr. Riddle to come out today to inquire about some things. I don't know if you know the rules field and the High Table organization."

Voldemort's brows furrowed tightly. Of course he knew about the field of rules. As for the High Table, he had heard of the term from some people, but he didn't know much about it. It's just that the field of rules was not accessible to ordinary wizards. Yes, even if it had been five years since he last appeared, Andre shouldn't have touched this field so quickly.

"What, are you about to reach the realm of rules?" After thinking about it, Voldemort asked.

Andre shook his head and said: "Of course not, but have you forgotten what I told you last time? I want to restore the glory of pure-blood wizards, but now I face the biggest problem, and that is Hogwart Mr. Principal of Ci."

"Dumbledore!" Voldemort's eyes flashed with disgust. He was brought back from the orphanage by Dumbledore, but he had no respect for the principal, especially when he refused to let him enter Hogwart. After Ci became the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

"That's right," Andre said: "Even Dumbledore, you must also know that our principal is a strong man in the field of rules, but I am still just a wizard with some strength, no matter what No matter what, he is no match."

Voldemort smiled and said, "But didn't you say last time that Dumbledore was seriously injured by my true form?"

"Indeed," Andre nodded, and then explained: "At that time, I, including some of my elders, thought that Dumbledore's strength would continue to decline after that. After all, he was not only seriously injured by you, Mr. Riddle. , and he is getting older. I just didn’t expect that we launched an operation not long ago, but we were shocked to find that his strength seemed not to be affected by the injury at all. Even though we had more than a dozen wizards, we were still no match for him. Many of my companions were even defeated by his magic during that operation and didn't even have a chance to escape."

Voldemort sneered and said: "Do you think you can defeat a strong man in the field of rules just by relying on numbers? If that was the case, I would have done this a long time ago."

"We are too naive," Andre sighed and said, "But before that, we really didn't know that Dumbledore was a strong man in the field of rules. But now, after losing more than a dozen wizards, we His power has been further compressed by Dumbledore, so I am asking you to come out here and want to consult you about this knowledge."

"But why should I tell you?" Voldemort's eyes revealed a hint of amusement. He had never trusted Andre from the beginning. Last time, he originally thought he could rely on the trap he set on the body of the Norwegian wizard to oppress him. Andre surrendered, but he didn't expect that this kid actually broke through the black magic's obstruction to the magic power.

Andre also laughed. Voldemort is still as annoying as ever, but he just said that he did not choose to take action because he was sure to defeat Dumbledore with numbers. This sentence has revealed that, at least for the young man of the Dark Lord, At that time, he had not yet set foot in the field of rules, but he still did not know how much this guy knew about this realm, and it was not clear whether his body would later enter this realm.

"Of course you can choose not to tell me, but if that's the case, then I think you will lose the value that can be used." Andre took out the bottle of basilisk venom that has been tried and tested. This is how Voldemort remembers whether to take it or not. Damn, does he think he dare not destroy this Horcrux now?That’s really overthinking. Now, for Andre, the biggest enemy is not the Dark Lord, but Theresa who is far away in the United States. If Voldemort’s soul fragment cannot tell him more Regarding knowledge in the field of rules, he doesn't mind destroying Ravenclaw's crown now. Anyway, with his current strength, the other party does not seem to be of much other help.

Voldemort's handsome face seemed to have become paler after Andre took out the basilisk venom. Even though his face was expressionless, the hatred in his eyes was unmistakable. Few people dared to threaten him like this. But Andre seemed to have no fear at all.
