Chapter 158 The Disappearing Corpse (Sick Babies)

Not ambition, but the future!

Cyrus's answer was like a wake-up call.

"I'll be frank, everyone. Nowadays, the Statute of Secrecy does not protect wizards, but is full of ignorant arrogance. It blocks the vision of wizards like a mountain." Cyrus said softly, "But in fact, the Muggles that wizards disdain to understand have already developed rapidly."

"Half a century ago, Grindelwald foresaw this, and for this reason he took a tough attitude to break the Statute of Secrecy, and even went to war! Of course, he failed."

"This is also what I worry about." Fitzgerald looked at Cyrus.

"When you have mastered the power of ancient magic and have stronger strength than now, will you also attempt to start a war?"

Wizards are always afraid of bloodshed and many sacrifices, which is related to the scarcity of wizards. But wanting change is inevitable. Cyrus wants to change the existing order of the wizard world, and naturally there will be people who want to stick to the old order.

The only thing he could promise was that he would not be as extreme as Grindelwald.

"Ms. Fitzgerald, since you know a lot about me, you naturally know that I am different from Grindelwald. He is a pure-blood wizard, and I have both." Cyrus said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Of course, if it is really as Fitzgerald knows, Cyrus should be a person who hates Muggles extremely. But that is her understanding of Voldemort, not Cyrus.

Having said that, Cyrus did not intend to say anything more.

He just raised his head and looked at Ms. Fitzgerald who was deep in thought and doubt. As for Rookwood and Percival, they were not as worried as Fitzgerald.

They did not know much about Voldemort, and from what they had seen so far, they were quite satisfied with Cyrus.

After a long time, Ms. Fitzgerald finally let go.

"The first trial is at the Sen Balka Tower. If you can really pass the four trials and gain the power of ancient magic, I hope you can remember everything I said today."

As soon as the other party finished speaking, the water surface under Cyrus' feet, which was like a reflection of the starry sky, immediately rippled. Then, a huge map reappeared in front of Cyrus, and it looked like he was standing thousands of miles high in the sky, leaning over to take in Hogwarts and the vast surrounding areas.

The Sen Balka Tower is located north of Hogsmeade. The owner of this tower ruin should be the fourth guardian, Sen Balka, but it was used by Percival as a trial site.

After determining the location of the trial, none of the guardians stayed here for a long time, and they all turned around and left.

Cyrus naturally did not stay for a long time.

He came to the secret room on Christmas Eve and turned around and flew to the ruins of the tower. It was because of this that he missed Peter Pettigrew who took Harry away.

By the time Ron asked Ginny for the diary, Cyrus had already passed the trial of the Monk Barka Tower.

To be honest, the so-called trial is really nothing worth mentioning. The test left by Percival is nothing more than the Pensieve Guards, and these things are not worth mentioning in Cyrus' eyes.

Instead, Cyrus is very interested in the memory he got at the end.

The memory is a scene of Morgana learning ancient magic, which reflects another powerful power of ancient magic-changing the environment.

Similar spells actually exist in ordinary magic. There are spells that can create thunderclouds or ice and snow in modern magic, and there are also spells such as "Cloud Spell Withdrawal" that make the weather disappear.

But these spells change more about the weather, not the climate.

The most powerful magic prop for changing the environment that Cyrus has seen is Newt Scamander's suitcase. There are a variety of climates in that small box, and they do not interfere with each other. Newt naturally cannot have such a powerful ancient magic. Cyrus is more inclined to believe that it was Dumbledore's handiwork.

Although Dumbledore could not see the echo of ancient magic, his powerful magic power could still make some seemingly ordinary spells exert extraordinary power.

Just like after Voldemort got the Elder Wand, because his own magic power was too strong, when he used the Elder Wand that did not recognize him as the master, he could still exert powerful power.

And this power was so strong that he could not tell for a while whether the spell he cast had the magic bonus of the Elder Wand.

Just like what he said to Snape - "I only cast my usual magic. I am superb, but this wand... No. It did not show the miracle it should show. I can't feel any difference between this wand and the one I bought from Ollivander many years ago."

Then he killed Snape, but he still didn't find out that he failed to become the master of the Elder Wand.

As far as Cyrus's magic power is concerned, naturally one day he will reach the same height as Voldemort and Dumbledore, but the ancient magic brings him a more convenient path, and it can also allow him to go further!

It only took him a few glances to almost understand the principle of the ancient magic that Morgana released.

"I was thinking about how to make a suitcase like Newt's, and this is a piece of cake." Cyrus thought, preparing to return to the map secret room, when he received Ron's message.

But -

"Why Ron?"

He frowned.

Generally speaking, the only person who would contact him with the diary was Hermione. Although Ginny wrote in the diary every day, she didn't know that the diary could be used to contact herself.

As for Ron——

It was a little embarrassing to say that in fact, the relationship between him and Ron was not as close as that with the other few people.

But seeing Ron's anxious look, Cyrus decided to respond to him.

"What's wrong, Ron?"

——

"What's wrong, Ron? What happened?"

After Ron kept writing Cyrus' name in the diary, the first response finally appeared in the diary.

Ginny stared at the clear handwriting in a daze, and for a moment she was so angry that she forgot to worry about Harry's safety.

"So, you already knew that the diary could actually contact Mr. Cyrus, and Mr. Cyrus could obviously reply to me, but you always pretended not to know?" Ginny looked even angrier than Hermione at the time, and her fiery red hair seemed to be burning!

She stared at Ron like a lioness, as if if Ron didn't give her a satisfactory answer, she would immediately reward him with a "smash to pieces"!

"Uh - I just thought, maybe I can try -" Ron stuttered, and finally didn't say that Harry received a birthday gift from Cyrus.

Although everyone has Christmas gifts, it is not certain that Ginny will still be angry.

By the way, the gift Ron received was an owl, which made up for his pain of losing Scabbers.

"Besides, I think it is understandable that Mr. Cyrus ignored you. He is doing big things. Now he is the one who is competing with the mysterious man. How could he chat with you every day?" Ron said, "If Harry hadn't been kidnapped this time, I wouldn't have planned to disturb him!"

Ron shook his head and wrote down what happened in his diary. Cyrus on the other side of the diary also learned about what happened.

However, things are a little more troublesome than Cyrus imagined.

He originally thought that Ron was looking for him for something as trivial as Buckbeak, but he didn't expect that Harry was missing.

"Was the time of disappearance last night?" Cyrus looked up at the clear sky and sighed in his heart.

It has been too long, even the time converter cannot return to the time when Harry was taken away.

However, Peter Pettigrew took Harry away, so Cyrus knew what Voldemort was planning.

"You are no match for me with Lanlock's body, so you plan to revive as soon as possible?" Cyrus sneered. It is not so easy for Voldemort to revive. In addition to the blood, flesh and bones that must be prepared, he must also prepare a new body for resurrection.

In the original book, it is the baby held by Pettigrew.

In addition to the baby, you also need to prepare potions in advance.

The method of refining this kind of potion is not difficult, but it takes a long time to prepare. During the Triwizard Tournament, Barty Jr. had too many opportunities to take Harry away, but he didn't, and waited until the last stage of the Triwizard Tournament, because Voldemort had not prepared everything before that.

Before that, Harry would not be in danger of life, and he would not even have any skin injuries.

Because Voldemort was stubborn and very stupid, in order to prove his strength, in order to prove that he was not defeated by a boy, he wanted to kill Harry with his own hands. Not only that, he also wanted to break the so-called prophecy with his own hands under the witness of all the Death Eaters, and personally erase the Death Eaters' doubts about him!

For this reason, after he was resurrected, he would immediately summon his former subordinates through the Dark Mark, so that everyone could see how he killed the "boy who survived the catastrophe", and he would give Harry a "fair" duel!

Therefore, Cyrus was not worried about Harry's life safety at all. He was more worried that if Voldemort was resurrected in advance, he might not be his opponent as he had not yet fully mastered the ancient magic.

For Voldemort, Cyrus never dared to underestimate him.

He himself was resurrected by devouring one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, and he understood better than anyone how terrible Voldemort's talent was.

"Harry Potter" is just a fairy tale after all, but the reality is even more cruel. People who have read the original book think that Voldemort must have split too many souls so that his brain is not working well, but in fact, making Horcruxes will not reduce a person's intelligence, but will only make him crazier!

"If Voldemort is resurrected, he will definitely be stronger than the original book, because Lanlock's body is in his hands." Cyrus pondered.

Voldemort, who was defeated by ancient magic, would never give up the power of ancient magic. He would definitely find ways to take Lanlock's talent for himself, so that he would also have the ability to see the echo of ancient magic when he was resurrected.

If this is true, it would be even worse.

"I will find a way to find Harry." Cyrus didn't even care about returning to the castle now. After replying to Ron, he immediately performed Apparition. The next moment, his figure appeared in a cemetery.

The cemetery in Little Hangleton Town was as deserted as ever.

On this morning when everyone is celebrating Christmas, naturally no one would come here.

The snow on the ground was very thick, and the heavy snow pressed down a large number of tombstones, as if putting white hats on these deceased people who had left for many years.

Cyrus followed his memory and came to a tomb with the name "Tom Riddle" on the tombstone.

But don't get me wrong, this is not Voldemort's tomb, but the tomb of Voldemort's father.

This tomb doesn't look strange. It is made of marble and looks beautiful in the snow. But Cyrus' face changed almost at the first sight of it.

"The tomb has been moved!"

He saw at a glance that there were traces of magic here. Someone moved the tombstone and took away the bones of "Tom Riddle"!

And this person could only be Voldemort.

"Yes, he would do this! Because he knows that I know..." Cyrus muttered to himself.

This sounds a bit awkward, but it is easy to understand. Cyrus also has every message about the Horcrux in his memory, so he naturally knows the means of Voldemort's resurrection. Voldemort also knew this. He was afraid that Cyrus would hinder his resurrection, so he took the bones from the grave in advance.

Inevitably, Voldemort could no longer choose Riddle House as his temporary residence.

But in this case, Cyrus didn't know where to find Harry.

"Voldemort is now using Lanlock's body. In this case, it is impossible not to borrow the power of goblins." Cyrus speculated on Voldemort's current state and actions.

If Voldemort really intends to resurrect, he must not dare to show up during this period. He not only has to hide from Cyrus, but also from Dumbledore.

And now he has only one subordinate under him, Peter Pettigrew.

This is a useless thing, and like Voldemort himself, Pettigrew is also wanted. On the contrary, the goblins, after losing their leader Bodrick, have seen a sharp decrease in number and a great loss of vitality.

At this time, if Lanlock, who once led them, came back, they would definitely be willing to follow behind "Lanlock", even if Lanlock was once a sinner of the goblins.

"It depends on what the goblins do. Before that, I still have to master the power of ancient magic as soon as possible!"

Cyrus was about to leave the cemetery, and his mind suddenly felt a sharp pain, as if it was scraped by a red-hot knife!

Then, a broken picture suddenly flashed before his eyes-

I got the A flu. I took a day off today and didn't go to the company. I said I wouldn't update it, but then I thought about it and decided to update it. How about it? Don't you love me? The A flu is so serious recently. Everyone should pay attention to protection when going out. Wear more clothes and wear a mask! Although it is uncomfortable to wear, it is not safe not to wear it!
