"Looks like I didn't waste my time …" Rudolphus waved his wand and stood up. He walked over to Lucius and pulled him up. "Of course I'm not useless. I don't need my right hand now."
"Then why are you … Uh, sorry, I misunderstood …" Lucius was a little puzzled at first, but then he understood his friend's thoughts. Compared to him, Rudolphus was a pureblood who was arrogant to the bone. He despised mudbloods more than he did and liked to kill Muggles. However, he only followed the mysterious person because of Bella. Otherwise, he would not have followed the mixed-blood mysterious person … The recent events made Rudolphus unwilling to reveal that he had recovered his strength to fight for missions.
"Lucius, you coward. Look how scared you are," Rudolphus sneered. Rudolphus smiled contemptuously. "I'm your captain. I've been protecting you at school. I'll take care of everything for you. Just like how I know what you're trying to do to me. If I wanted to tell Master about this secret, I would've done it a long time ago. Why would I wait until now?"
After a moment of silence, Lucius's pale face gradually relaxed. He waved his wand in the direction of the door and whispered, "Close your ears and listen."
"Little coward …" Rudolphus put his wand back into his waist and said mockingly, "Now you remember that I've already cast the spell. No one noticed us when we were fighting just now. Do you think they're all deaf?"
Lucius's cold grayish-blue eyes turned to Rudolphus. He walked over and sat opposite Rudolphus. "It's never wrong to be careful. You know my situation …"
"When did it start?" Rudolphus asked slowly.
Back then, Master gave his diary to me for safekeeping. He told me that this diary had been enchanted with black magic and could reopen the secret room. He wanted me to take care of it carefully … That year, the Ministry of Magic was intensifying the search for illegal black magic items and caused quite a commotion … You know, Master had been missing for many years without any news. Other than Bella and little Crouch, that kid probably thought that he would never return. "Lucius calculated the time and sighed." … To ensure the safety of the Malfoy Family, I threw this diary away … And when I last saw this diary, it had already been destroyed … "
Rudolphus was puzzled. "Lucius, don't tell me that you're siding with Harris because you destroyed one of Master's magic items?"
"No, it's not an ordinary magic item. I was like you back then. I didn't know how important this diary was to Master. It's one of Master's soul vessels. It contains a fragment of his soul." Lucius recalled the fear and confusion he felt when he heard the news from Allen. He sighed and shook his head.
"You mean a soul vessel? Ah! You asked Bella to put it in my family's vault?! " Rudolphus sat up straight and his eyes widened in shock. He paused and said, "… No wonder he's getting more and more … Hahaha! These ignorant mixed-bloods … "
"If I knew that I was holding a fragment of Master's soul, I would've kept it safe. Perhaps Master was too confident in our fear of him, so he didn't tell us the truth." Lucius raised the corner of his mouth and looked a little self-deprecating. "Well, if it were me, I wouldn't tell the truth about this either. So you know what I was thinking at that time."
"There's no doubt that you won't die, but you'll definitely receive the cruelest punishment." Rudolphus thought of the Death Eaters like Old Parkinson and Dolphin who were severely punished by Master. "So, what's your contribution after that?"
"Yes. In addition to these, when Allen came to recruit me, he mentioned that he would protect Draco and Cicely's safety. This was too tempting for me." Lucius rested his elbows on his knees and fell into his memories. Chapter 5
"Ha! Is the relationship between you and Harris so close that you can call him by his name? It seems that the kid doesn't like Master's way of doing things. " Rudolphus looked up at Lucius with his deep-set eyes and said sarcastically, "You've changed your attitude so quickly. Have you forgotten about the Malfoy's arrogance? Oh, yes, this is your Malfoy. "
"Owen Harris is Draco's godfather." Lucius tilted his head and looked at his friend. "It's normal for me to call Allen by his name, Rudolphus."
"Lucius, others may not see it, but I can see that you're bluffing. It seems that The Dark Lord is essentially the same. "Rudolphus raised his eyebrows and leaned back against the wall." But if the Malfoy wants to win someone over, he'll get what he wants in no time. "
At this moment, in the silent room, someone knocked on the door. The knocking sound was like a clap of thunder, startling Lucius and Rudolphus. Both of them immediately held their wands in their hands.
Rudolphus put his hand down on the wand. "Don't be nervous. It's fine as long as you can knock on the door. Maybe it's Narcissa?"
"No, it's not Cissy. She told me she's not coming today." Lucius clenched his wand and walked over to open the door. He saw Crabbe standing at the door with a sour expression.
"Crabbe?" Lucius put down his wand and asked curiously when he saw that it was his old follower. "Speak …"
"Lucius, it's Rudolphus's … master asked me to send the replica he made over … He told me that he was in your room …" Crabbe's heart tightened as he thought of the Victor's Hand in his hands. He couldn't bear to see it.
Lucius, who was blocking the door, was shocked. He then realized that it was only the mark of the Death Eater that exposed his friend's location. "… Just give it to me."
"Okay, Lucius. Here you go." Crabbe said dryly. He handed the replica of the Hand of Viktor made by the Lord Voldemort to Lucius.
Lucius looked down, and the gleaming mithril arm attracted almost all of his attention. It was as bright as the moonlight, and the magic power emanating from it proved that it was extraordinary. But … Lucius thought of the remaining half of Rudolph's arm, and when his gaze fell on the replica of Viktor's Hand, he frowned. Lucius realized that something was wrong. He clenched his slightly trembling hands tightly, and his pale cheeks were cold. Not only was the arm too long, but the interface was also wantonly emitting some vicious black magic aura, although it was essentially a black magic item.
"There's a heart-piercing curse on the joint …" Lucius lowered his voice. When he saw the magic fluctuation at the joint of the arm, his face became more and more ugly. He lowered his voice. "I understand, Crabbe. You're not needed here. You can go back first."
"Yes … Lucius, I brought you a bottle of gin." Crabbe's face was dark. He was not good with words and was in a difficult position. He did not know what to say so he simply handed the whole bottle of gin to Lucius. "I'll drink some when Bella punishes me. It won't hurt as much."
