When Lucius returned to his room, he closed the door and cast another incantation on himself. When he faced Rudolphus, he seemed to have lost the ability to organize his words. He walked to the table in silence and placed the replica of Viktor's hand and the bottle of liquor on the table.
Rudolphus's deep-set eyes swept across Lucius's face as he walked to the table. Every step he took was like stepping on Lucius's heart. The stone room fell into silence, and Lucius wished he could cast a spell and smash everything into smithereens.
"Crabb knew the master's intention, but he still brought us a bottle of liquor? He's just as stupid as when he was a kid … "Rudolphus picked up the magic prosthesis and his eyes fell on the arm.
He paused for a moment before he turned around. His tone was unexpectedly calm. "Lucius, I need your help."
Lucius furrowed his eyebrows and pressed his lips together. He raised his head and lowered it several times. He wanted to say something, but he did not know where to start. His face was full of distress and guilt. His original intention was to ask the Dark Lord to install a prosthesis like Bella's for Rudolphus. He did not expect that his good intentions would turn out to be bad.
Looking at Lucius's hesitation, Rudolphus reached out his remaining arm and said firmly, "Lucius, it'll be fine. Come and help me."
"Rudolphus," Lucius said in a heavy tone, "I have to cut off your arm to install it … and the Heart Piercing Curse …" Lucius could not continue. He could not imagine the pain that Rudolphus was about to suffer.
"Isn't it because of you? You and my brother Rabastan are so stupid … "Rudolphus mocked and sighed softly." We can't refuse … Lucius, and this will indeed make me stronger. "
Rudolphus's voice made Lucius's heart ache. Judging from the current situation, he did not have the right to refuse. The arm was made by the Dark Lord, and the Heart Piercing Curse was obviously left by the Dark Lord for Rudolphus to practice.
After a moment of silence, Lucius's pale and sharp face tilted. He mustered his courage and whispered his inner thoughts, "Rudolphus, wait for me to call Cece over. Let's run … Let's seek refuge with Harris. He told me that if we encounter any danger, we don't have to continue hiding …"
"What? Are you going to take me with you now? Just like that liar did? "Rudolphus raised his eyebrows in surprise and then laughed sarcastically." Ha! Aren't you afraid that Master will take revenge on you? "
"Rudolphus, listen to me. Allen Harris is different from Master. He is also very accomplished in alchemy. If I ask him, he will guarantee our safety! He will also make you a better prosthetic arm … "Lucius said eagerly." I'm not just going to ask him for Cece's safety. You know that they have taken control of the Ministry of Magic and driven away Master and Dumbledore. Even if they used a conspiracy, they are still so powerful at such a young age. His personal potential is limitless. Not to mention, Allen has a god behind him. Harris has Madam Ravenclaw as his backer. His current strength should be much stronger than when he was in the Ministry of Magic last year. You know how smart my father was! Before he died, he asked me to follow Harris closely. My father said that they would be the final winners … "
"Are you sure that he can still guarantee your safety after you are no longer useful?" Rudolphus was a little dismissive of Lucius's words. "You know who their old boss is. Don't you know what kind of person he is? Lucius, you are too naive. You have to guarantee your value. Only then will he have the value to please him … "
"At least he is acting completely different now! Rudolphus! Allen Harris has reminded me many times and suggested that I can give up the mission here at any time. He will guarantee the safety of my family! " Lucius began to reveal his emotions under his elegant and dignified posture. "If we ask him …"
"Ask him? Lucius! Where is your self-esteem?! What qualifications do these outsiders have to lead Lestrange?! " Rudolphus' eyes were bright, and he raised his head slightly. The smile on his lips was more like a sneer than a sneer. He snorted coldly. "Speaking of which, Lestrange and Ravenclaw are considered distant relatives. Our family emblem is a raven, and Ravenclaw … is just a raven's claw."
"Rudolphus, isn't Master also a …" Lucius realized that he had spoken incoherently in a moment of desperation. He did not dare to finish his sentence because of the fear caused by The Dark Lord. However, this made him a little angry with himself. "As long as we can survive, the living don't care what the dead think! Since you are proud of your family, you should understand that what is important is not your personal glory! It is the continuation of the family! Do you understand?! "
"Idiot! My loyalty has never been to him! Lucius, you are Bellatrix Blake Lestrange! Don't teach me what your father taught you! " Rudolphus roared angrily. Then he realized that he had lost his composure and adjusted his collar with one hand. "When you love someone, you have to trust her. There is no other way. You have to give her the key that controls everything in your life. Otherwise, what's the point of it?"
"But she didn't give you the key …" Lucius saw that Rudolphus had extended his arm and stopped talking. He had to take out his wand and pointed at his severed arm with trembling hands. "Snape taught me a spell before. It's very fast. Bear with it."
Rudolphus nodded and gestured with the replica of Viktor's Hand on his arm so that Lucius could find the right position. Then he suddenly stopped and waved his wand to remove the earplugs and listening spell. Then he sat back down.
"Master will be unhappy if he can't hear my voice …"
Lucius's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his lips. He stared at Rudolphus and said, "It will hurt."
Rudolphus pursed his lips. His eyes were firm and his voice was calm. "Then I'll shout it out."
Lucius's usually cold and arrogant grayish-blue eyes were full of worry. He frowned and secretly measured the position. He looked at the strong black magic aura around the artificial arm and said, "The Heart-Drilling Spell will hurt a lot when it touches the severed arm …"
"Then I'll shout even louder!" Rudolphus insisted. His eyes were as deep as the black lake in Hogwarts. Lucius, who was looking at him with tears in his eyes, nodded resolutely.
"Shadowless Divine Blade …"
"Ugh!"
On the other side of the underground base, Bellatrix was given a more independent and luxurious room after she got pregnant. Suddenly, a twisted and painful scream came from outside the door. It made the Blake sisters stop talking.
"Then who's screaming?!" Narcissa frowned. Her pale cheeks had no trace of blood. After living here for so long, she still found it difficult to adapt to the painful and depressing atmosphere.
"Rudolphus." Bellatrix picked up a grape from the fruit plate and threw it into her mouth. The muscles on her face twitched a few times. She raised her eyebrows and mocked, "Ha, I've never heard him scream so miserably."
"Why is he screaming so loudly …" Narcissa asked anxiously. At this time, they could only hear Rudolphus's shrill scream getting louder and louder.
"I suggest that master make the artificial arm for him longer." Bellatrix laughed and proudly stood on her tiptoes. "He has to cut off more parts to fit it."
