Mentor and Friends

"Lord, what are your orders?" Mulciber opened the door of the conference room and looked at his great master.

"It is said that Morton and the others found a surprise for us in France." Tom looked at the parchment in his hand, "Someone invited us to be a guest with sincerity."

"Lord, what do you mean?" The other party asked carefully.

"Paris is said to be a beautiful place." Tom held his chin and said softly, "I think we should also relax ourselves, right? After all, it's not a good way of life to always push yourself," he revealed With a warm smile, "We should learn to learn French romance."

"Everything is according to your order." The other party lowered his head and said softly.

Tom turned the ring in his hand, "How is it going?"

"The other party is very shrewd and seems to know that someone is looking for him. He didn't show any traces when he was in Knockturn Alley, but we have found his trace and tracked him smoothly, because without your order, we dare not act rashly."

"Then watch him carefully, and play with him slowly after I come back from France." A red light flashed in Tom's eyes, and when he made the Horcrux, it was time for the failed product to disappear.

The next day, without informing anyone, Tom left England with his confidants. He never had to report to anyone. Originally, he really wanted to ask Abraxas if he would go to France with him, but he considered Recently, the power disputes in the Ministry of Magic in China began to show new changes. He felt that it would be better for his friends to stay in the UK.

France, a country with different customs from England, makes people feel the romance revealed from the bottom of this country all the time, but Tom never knows how to appreciate it.

Not long after arriving in France, he brought Mulciber and others to an alley.

This alley, which is not narrow but definitely not wide, looks endless. Few Muggles come here. There are rumors that the buildings here are backward and dilapidated, even though France just experienced a few years ago. In the eyes of the French, such a dilapidated war cannot be tolerated.

In fact, they have been wondering why this place has not been demolished and rebuilt. Fortunately, this place is not close to the urban area or the residential area. Over the past few years, this place has gradually been forgotten.

Tom led the people in the alley, and suddenly turned around at a certain place. Mulciber understood, took out his wand and hit the wall a few times.

The wall bricks in front of him disappeared, revealing a passage that could accommodate three people at the same time.

Mulciber bent over to Tom, and walked in first to prevent any accidents here.

"Lord." After walking in, he stood at the door for a while, then checked the surroundings, and nodded to Tom after confirming that it was safe.

Tom immediately went over the threshold.

They appeared in a courtyard, because it was summer, and everything here seemed so alive.

The master was already standing not far away waiting for them.

It's not that he didn't see Mulciber's behavior before, but as a dark wizard and the core of a big family, he said that when he went out, many people were more careful than Mulciber, so for Mulciber He didn't show any displeasure with his behavior.

"Welcome, our noble Dark Lord." Abel Borg said with a look of enthusiasm.

It's just that under this enthusiasm, there is exactly the same coldness as Tom's eyes.

"You look good." Tom raised his eyebrows. "At least you can return to France under the eyes of the saints." Tom and Abel met in Germany. , He was being chased by the saints, Tom helped him at the time, Abel owed him a favor, if it wasn't for Tom, Abel would never have returned to France.

"My good friend, everyone knows that Grindelwald has failed these years. He has curled up and huddled his forces in Germany. He lost a lot in the last war. As soon as I left Germany, the saints all turned back. It's gone." Abel sneered.

"Heh..." Tom chuckled inexplicably, hiding the disdain in his eyes.

Everyone thinks that the war caused Grindelwald to lose his vitality, even though the power he preserved after the war was enough to make the Ministry of Magic helpless, but in the eyes of others, Grindelwald is old after all, and a year is not as good as a year. Over the years, the scope of saints' activities has become smaller and smaller, and many people have even forgotten that apart from the Ministry of Magic, there are saints in Germany.

Many people believe that the era belonging to Grindelwald has passed after all.

But the truth is, only the person involved will always know.

If he hadn't cooperated with Grindelwald, he might have thought that Grindelwald was already old, and he could only talk about evening love with Dumbledore's old immortal and wait to die of old age.

But that day... until the day when he signed a cooperation contract with Grindelwald, he didn't know that the saints were gradually disbanded, and they were basically scattered all over the world.

Only Grindelwald knows where the saints are distributed.

Even if he exhausted all the abilities of the Death Eaters, he could only find out a rough outline, which was completely insufficient to describe the distribution of the saints.

Grindelwald is nibbling away the power of dark wizards in different countries bit by bit.

Grindelwald has no ambition, or rather, this ambition has been suppressed by Dumbledore, but having no ambition does not mean that he will disband his followers. He has made too many enemies with the saints, and he needs to give the saints a safe guarantee .

The saints were scattered all over the place, and no one knew where they were located or what they were doing. Tom only knew that it would affect the whole body. When someone wanted to grab Grindelwald's attention, It will be the time when the saints come back.

"Why let me know this." At that time, Tom looked at Grindelwald with vigilance in his eyes.

He is no longer the boy who was not strong enough in school. He has been out of the society for a few years. Even if this kind of experience is not enough to challenge the experienced Dark Lord in the eyes of ordinary people, Tom is an exception.

"Always let you know how big the gap is between you and me now. Before Harry comes back, someone must hold you down." The other party said lightly.

Tom narrowed his eyes slightly, but finally said nothing.

Now he can be suppressed by the saints, but he doesn't believe that he can't surpass Grindelwald. He is only in his 20s and has made great achievements. He is constantly expanding his power, and Grindelwald is getting old. Even though the wizard is much older than the Muggle, it is undeniable that the other party is going downhill.

He will surpass Grindelwald after all, and no one will stop what he wants to do at that time.

As for Harry...

Tom sneered.

he won't come back...

"Okay Tom, we shouldn't talk about this. The auction will start at midnight tonight. Maybe you should go to rest. You know, the night will last for a long time." The other party said to him.

Tom nodded.

Dark wizards seldom owe favors. Generally speaking, they believe in the strong and they seldom ask for help or help others. Once they owe favors, they will always ask Your request, and then return this favor in the shortest possible time.

Just as Viente only responded quickly to Harry's entrustment back then, it was the same with Abel at this time.

Tom was looking for some precious potions, and even he couldn't make these potions, not only because he didn't have experience, but because he didn't have the materials.

It will take at least three or four years to make these potions. During this period, the steam from the potion will eat away at the human body, causing people to become weak. If you are not careful, you may be a potion master when the potion is made. All these potions are extremely expensive at the time of death.

But even if the potion is expensive, few potion masters will try it. Gradually, these potions that are not illegal, forbidden, or high-quality potions only appear in the transactions of dark wizards.

This is the news brought by Abel, the potion that Tom needs will appear at the auction tonight.

This is an auction belonging to dark wizards. There are so many auction items here that you can't imagine, from simple magic robes to human bodies, and even slaves may appear here.

Abel has already helped Tom set a location, and the work he has to do is over. He just needs to help Tom find some potions, and now he has found them. As for whether Tom can take pictures, it depends on Tom himself.

"Good luck to you, my friend." Before leaving, the other party said to Tom without any sincerity.

Tom just nodded indifferently, and didn't even give him a hand in the eyes.

The other party didn't care, and after repaying the favor, he and Tom would have nothing to do with each other from now on. As for the savior or something, black wizards wouldn't keep these things down for so long.

You saved me, I will repay you a kindness, and the two will be cleared from now on, it's that simple.

The auction will start soon,

The entire auction house fell silent.

This is an auction among dark wizards. Everything is kept concise and clear. The host's introduction never exceeds 30 seconds. Character.

No matter how much you bid, when there is only the last word left in the air, count down to three, two, and one, and then the auction will be completed.

The entire bidding process was quiet and eerie.

Tom was a little impatient, the treasure underneath didn't mean much to him, and what he was waiting for didn't come.

He casually glanced at the people around him, but when he saw a figure, he couldn't help but stop looking.

The figure of that person is very familiar... like the dark wizard who came to France with Harry that day—he remembered the dark wizard he met when he went to find Berr, even if they met for a short time, later this dark wizard He was wearing the hood again, but he made a note of it anyway.

The one who disappeared with Harry...wasn't he one of them?

The author has something to say: I won’t let Harry out, I won’t let Harry out, let you dominate me (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻
