[HP]Aluet

He landed steadily on the ground, I rubbed my eyes, and kicked my legs a few times to get down by myself, but as soon as I touched the soft tree roots on the ground, I panicked, goose bumps all over my body, and I grabbed Riddle's arm subconsciously. Dare to take a step.

We stood beside the devil tree, the huge crimson "heart" was beating, and the magma-like veins around it were as full of vitality as its meridian vessels.

"Alphad? Irina?" I called tentatively.This is obviously a forest, but there is an echo, I feel very strange.I moved away from Riddle, but with one hand still firmly clutching his sleeve, I approached the stump cautiously with my wand in the other.

"return."

As soon as I looked up, a huge face suddenly appeared on top of my head, exactly like the bluish-white doll I saw earlier, with black hole-like eyes close at hand, with a bloody mouth wide open and coming towards me, with sharp ears The sound almost pierced my eardrums.

My wrist was grabbed and pulled backwards, I closed my eyes and shrank, and plunged into Riddle's chest.

"Bang—" There was a loud explosion sound from behind, mixed with that terrifying cry, which dissipated after a few seconds.

I glanced back.Riddle put down his wand, the color of the devil tree behind him dimmed seven points, and the beating frequency of the "heart" also slowed down a lot.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and when I realized that I was sticking to Riddle with a cowardly look, I immediately felt a little ashamed.I took the initiative to step back, and the roots under my feet became brittle and could be crushed with a little force.I saw a dark hole under the root of the tree.

I glanced back at Riddle, he stood there and didn't intend to move.

That's right, he certainly wouldn't do this kind of thing himself.

"Luminescence." I looked into the hole, "Alphad! Irina!"

I took out a stone to signal them, and at the same time turned a leaf on the ground into a firefly, and flew into the tree hole.

After a while, I saw the two of them.I walked in and greeted them.

"What's wrong?" I saw Alphard dragging Irina out, his eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with ice.

"We've fallen into a hallucination, it's too cold inside, there's nothing to ignite, she passed out." Alphard's voice was still trembling.

I helped him and helped Irina out of the tree hole.

Riddle caressed the tree trunk, paced slowly around the periphery, glanced at the place where we came out, and saw Irina who had fainted: "You guys go back first, I have notified Jean Ranbusi, Nott and Clara Budu has gone back."

I just wanted to leave with them, but was stopped again.

"Aisley, you stay here first."

Alphard nodded at me, and disapparated out of here with Irina.

Riddle stared at the Devil Tree and gestured for me to pass.I walked up to him inexplicably, not knowing what he wanted to do.

"Can you bring it back?" he began.

"Recovery?" I looked at him strangely.

"Can you?" Riddle didn't answer, but continued to ask.I had no choice but to nod: "It's a living body, you can try it."

He lifted his chin and motioned me to do so.

"You're asking me to do something for you again."

"Let me tell you," he leaned down, looked carefully at the faintly glowing heart, and responded calmly, "You have no choice, Ashley. I don't need you to kill anyone, but if you Do nothing, I still keep you by my side, do you think there is any point?"

I curled my lips, and stretched out my hand to touch the devil tree near my heart.The white light spread throughout the roots of the tree. In front of this huge tree stump, I could feel the power I had released spreading in its body, covering every inch of the "vein", reviving its vitality.This feeling is amazing, it has never been so obvious before.

The beating of the heart gradually became stronger, and the crimson color became brighter.I was about to withdraw my hand, but Riddle stopped me.

"Don't take it back," he said.

I froze for a few seconds: "What do you mean?" But soon I understood.

"You mean...? Let me keep this power in the Devil Tree?"

"Yeah. You should know better than me." The corners of his mouth moved.

I was silent for a while, and finally followed his wishes. I could vaguely guess what he wanted to do.

"Did you see the thing sealed in the depths of the forest?"

"It's a giant." I answered truthfully.

"If I'm not mistaken, this devil tree is the key to blocking the inside and outside." He raised his head and looked up at the sky. It was from here that the crimson magic seals spread around the entire forest. Circle, "Let's go meet those giants for a while."

"Am I going too?"

Riddle glanced at me, and the information in his eyes was nothing more than that I said something nonsense.I could only yawn and follow him into the depths of the forest.

"Are you sure?" I recalled those giants.I don't want him to succeed, but if he fails, he will drag me into bad luck. Thinking about it is enough bad luck, "Why don't you let others together every time?"

There was some unconcealable contempt in his tone: "No need."

"Fewer people seem more sincere?" I couldn't help teasing.He ignored me, and walked over there at a faster pace until he reached the position I had arrived at earlier.

With a bang, Riddle disappeared in place, leaving only a cloud of black mist slowly dissipating.

"Hey!" I quickly followed, "Apparate!"

We landed on the flat ground, and the giant quickly found us, the two uninvited guests, roared at us and grabbed them.

I picked up my wand and cast a confinement spell, but I was still a little weak against giants, so I could only restrain one.

The big hand picked up the gravel on the ground and slapped us. The wind and sand made me squint my eyes and lean back my whole body.

Riddle raised his wand without changing his expression. The moment his hand touched the tip of the wand, he froze. The petrification curse spread rapidly from that point, and soon his huge body became stiff.There was a ruthless look in Riddle's eyes. The wand changed its course in the air and clicked down again. In an instant, tiny cracks appeared on the giant's body, and then the cracks spread at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye, like a hill collapsed. It fell down and broke into pieces.

This action enraged the other giants, who attacked the two tiny wizards more violently.I just used some restraining spells. On the other hand, Riddle was too rough directly. After dodging an attack in a little embarrassment, Riddle imprisoned one of the giants, and the white light of the wand flashed. The distorted posture was broken, Bai Sensen's bones were exposed to the air, a severed finger as thick as my thigh hit my feet, and blood flowed out.

I covered my ears, but the screams still seeped in.I heard the giant yell in pain a word I couldn't understand, and then the other giants stopped attacking one after another.

Except for the giant who fell to the ground clutching his fingers, the other giants gave way to both sides, and a giant who looked fierce and more majestic than other giants came out.

He looked down at me and Riddle, said something, I think it was in Spanish, and finally he bent down and reached out, hooked his fingers, and put his hand in front of us.

"Do you understand what he is saying?" I asked in a low voice.

"He said he couldn't hear us. Let's go up."

"Then...?" I lifted my foot.

"Use your brain," he said, glancing at me, "that's provocative."

provocative?I have mixed feelings.I thought it was a show of favor, who would think of provocation?But thinking about what Riddle did just now, the provocation... is really reasonable.

He turned a blind eye to the giant's movements, put his hands behind his back, and started a conversation with him directly with the Hongliang spell, but unfortunately I couldn't understand a word of Spanish.If I knew it earlier, I would read more language books. Who would have thought that such a day would come?In the future, I will go to so many countries with Riddle, what can I do if I don't understand anything.

They exchanged for a moment before stopping, and the giant gasped heavily, and I stared at him nervously.In the end, the giant half-knelt down and stretched out his hand to Riddle. I didn't know what he was doing until a trace of blood-red thread wrapped their hands.

It looks a lot like an unbreakable spell, but I know it's not.The Unbreakable Spell needs a third person to act as an enforcer, but they don't have one.

They said a few words during the spell, and finally the blood thread wrapped around their arms and sank into the skin.

I saw a blood-red mark appear on Riddle's wrist, but it quickly began to twist and dissolve until it disappeared, but the giants didn't notice.

This is just a one-sided blood oath!

"Aisley, destroy that devil tree." Riddle hid his hands in his sleeves.

I sighed, closed my eyes, and felt the force that hadn't come back.The devil tree was seriously injured. On this basis, if I give it another shot, it will really be destroyed directly.

I did as he asked.I slowly opened my eyes, the crimson magic seal became dim, an invisible barrier began to shatter, and the foggy sky cleared up a lot.

Every giant is looking up at the shattering of those imprints, sending out bursts of cheers.

They got out of the cage that had trapped them for hundreds of years, only to step into another cage.I thought.

Riddle searched for marginalized magical creatures in various countries to sign contracts, and his Death Eaters spread across countless lands in Europe. He not only stepped on Grindelwald's footprints, but also mastered even more terrifying unknown factors.

Those werewolves and giants regained their freedom, and they don't know what troubles will happen.

No matter what, even if you are risking, you have to find a chance to meet Dumbledore...

According to the planned route, the next stop after Italy is Albania, then Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, and finally back to the UK. However, because Rambusi has been in France for a long time, it is adjacent to the territories of Germany, Switzerland and Italy. He knows a lot about these countries, and many Death Eaters have already gone to these places under his guidance, so Italy can only be counted as a stop.That is to say, I will only stay in Albania and Austria for a long time, and if I count too much, I will go back in November or December.At that time, Hogwarts was still in the beginning period, and there was always an opportunity.

But having said that, the appearance of this Ranbusi really saved Riddle a lot of effort.

But Albania... Didn't Riddle go to it a long time ago?

With this question in mind, I spent another two weeks with them on a trip to Rome.There are not many famous wizarding families in Italy, and I have nothing to do with them. After the Madrid giant, I went to the library of wizards and Muggles when I was in Italy and bought a few books. Books in biological language and foreign languages, except during the day, I also read them twice under the quilt under the luminescent spell before going to bed.

In the end, this question was finally solved in a sales market in Albania.

The old man took the money, led us through countless cages, and finally knocked on the innermost iron cage: "This is a poisonous python. I also bought it. It was caught by snake catchers in western Europe. It’s rare to see such a beautiful pattern, it’s highly ornamental, circus performances and the like are more like this kind—” He casually picked up the iron hook next to it and put it into the cage, pinching the python’s head, “You guys Look - I won't overcharge you, this snake is worth it anywhere."

Once back, Riddle opened the cage.

"I said I would come back and give you freedom." Riddle squatted down, stretched out his hand under my horrified gaze, and gently stroked the thick python in front of him a few times.The boa constrictor spit out its message and wrapped itself around Riddle's arm. I was already afraid of snakes, and my legs went limp, so I stayed away from Riddle.

"R... Lord Dark Lord came to Albania for the second time, just to find it and buy it?" I whispered to Crabbe.After all, the most likely to understand here is his old classmate who has been with him all the time. As for that Nott, I still worry about what I said last time, which is really annoying.

"how could I know?"

"..."

Ever since that giant python followed Riddle, I could see it "hissing" and walking slowly on the floor from time to time. My mental world was tortured, and I couldn't even close my eyes when I slept. When I want to fall asleep, the python released by Grindelwald will flash in my mind before biting my head with its bloody mouth open, and then I will break out in a cold sweat.

To his python.

I really can't stand Tom Riddle more and more.
