Chapter 241： your master is back

"Master, your loyal servant is waiting for your response..."

Lestrange's call was vague and weak, but Sean could still feel the tension and anticipation.

This connection requires a rather high price, such as part of the caster's sanity and a lot of magic. Even so, few Death Eaters knew how to contact him, presumably because Riddle didn't want to be bothered by servants all the time.

Sean rested one hand behind his head and played with a wand in the other, not his elm dragon heartstring wand, but another one that Grindelwald threw at him.

Thirteen and a half inches, yew wood, phoenix tail feathers, the brother of this powerful wand lay in the bedroom not far from Sean.

It's no surprise that Riddle's wand is in Grindelwald's hands, but when Sean asked whether Riddle was really dead, the other party didn't give a clear answer.

However, this was also expected by Sean. He always had a feeling that Riddle, a genius dark wizard who had studied the soul level for many years, could not die so easily.

Both Dumbledore and Grindelwald have mentioned that Riddle's magical talent is beyond the imagination of many people, but the former is a sigh and the latter is a sneer.

But one thing is certain, Tom Riddle must be in some kind of predicament right now, or he wouldn't fail to contact his most trusted Death Eater, Lestrange.

Either you don't even have the power to connect, or you're too weak to connect with anyone.

And with Grindelwald escorting him, it seems that he can indeed use the Death Eaters to do something...

However, some small changes need to be made first... Sean looked at the Dark Mark on his arm.

He can control who his marks only take effect on, but at present the marks on those Death Eaters are all planted by Riddle himself. The fact that the other party does not receive the contact of the servant does not mean that he cannot hear the call of the servant.

Shaun needs to make some changes to the Death Eater's Dark Mark if he wants to make sure his plans run smoothly and aren't overheard by Riddle lurking in the shadows.

No matter how powerful Riddle was, Sean, who had absorbed the other party's soul fragments, had completely mastered the Dark Mark. As a common example, the Dark Mark is like a receiver that can only receive signals from the host. When the receiver contacts other signals, the host will receive a notification.

That is to say, the Dark Mark does not usually have a function similar to eavesdropping, but when it is triggered, such as using the Dark Mark to summon Death Eaters, or when there is some kind of spell trying to erase the mark, the host - that is, planting People who are marked will receive a message. When one of the Death Eaters touched the Dark Mark branded on his arm, Riddle could feel it too.

If Sean wants to use the Death Eaters, he should change the frequency of pointing to Riddle to his own, otherwise he will be known by the other party when he calls the Death Eaters or uses the Dark Mark to contact him.

He can change, but he needs to cast the spell himself, which is the problem now.

Using the Dark Mark to contact the Death Eaters will be discovered by Riddle, but there is no way to hack into Riddle's original mark without contacting himself.

Sean ignored Lestrange's call, thinking about how to solve the problem.

As for how to pretend to be Riddle, he already had a way.

The relationship between the Death Eaters and Riddle was not like that between Grindelwald and the Saints. Except for a few fanatics, most of the Death Eaters surrendered in fear of Riddle's terror.

The relationship of appearance and separation is the easiest to get in.

The key now is how to get the Death Eaters together without using the Dark Mark...

A bold plan gradually appeared in Sean's mind.

...

Malfoy Manor, Wiltshire.

Lestrange, pale and bloodshot, curled up on the velvet sofa, haggard and madness in her eyes.

At this time, Lestrange no longer looked like a cold and arrogant witch. She now looks more and more like the crazy woman in Sean's impression.

"Bella," Lucius Malfoy clenched his cane, "it turns out that the master is not willing to reply to you."

This sentence seemed to irritate the other party, Lestrange stood up abruptly, and the weak witch had a terrifying power at this time: "Lucius, do you think I don't know what you are thinking? "

"You, Avery, McNeil, and those cunning, stupid fellows, you gathered with the gift of the master, and the master only disappeared for a short time, and you thought of betraying him?"

Lucius turned his head slightly and said in a voice that could not tell any emotion: "I have never betrayed my master."

"Lie!" screamed Lestrange, "Malfoy, you haven't been looking for your master since the day he happened - yesterday, he didn't answer my call, and you cut the Ministry of Magic's staff this morning. The money—ha! Malfoy's Galleon is so precious!"

Lucius's face turned red and white, and he snorted, like an excuse or a persuasion: "The master has not given an order for a long time, and I can continue until he comes back and instructs me further."

"Cunning betrayer!"

"you!"

Malfoy's wife, Narcissa Malfoy, stood between the two.

She was good-looking, graceful, tall and slender, and surprisingly pale.

"Bella," Narcissa looked at her sister, "Lucius always likes to be thoughtful, and it's been two years since we last received an order—the master is so powerful that he's still alive, but maybe It's some small obstacles, he can't appear for the time being—"

"Cissy," Bella screamed at her own sister, "he needs us! Needs loyal servants!"

"I know, of course I know," Narcissa's eyes flashed with impatience, but she was still comforting the other party with a good voice, "Bella, since the establishment of the Death Eaters, we are all fighting for one goal— But the time has not come, don't you understand?"

Bella gasped violently, with an expression on her face like swallowing a toad, she stared at her sister and brother-in-law, and then sat back on the sofa heavily.

"Master has been planning," Lucius said again, although the expression on his face was not very good, "We have not been exposed to everyone's sight, so after the master... disappeared, we were not sent to Aziz Caban! But Dumbledore is suspicious, and Avery has been called by the Minister to talk! What are we going to do now? Searching for a master with great fanfare? No! We're going to keep our power until the Dark Lord returns Be the help behind him.”

"Ha - Mingzhe protects himself, as expected of you..." Bella sneered, but did not continue to say anything unpleasant.

Regulus, who had been watching all this, stood up: "It seems that we have reached a consensus to wait for the return of the master?"

"That's you, and I'll keep looking for the master," Bella said.

The remaining three looked at each other and did not continue to speak.

When the atmosphere in the mansion was silent, the doorbell rang.

Bella and Regulus did not shy away. They are related to the Malfoy family, so they don't have to worry about their relationship being exposed here.

A young house-elf appeared in the living room. He lowered his head and said, "Master, there is a strange wizard outside."

"Unfamiliar wizard?" Lucius frowned. Although Malfoy's mansion is not covered by magic, those who can come here must be people who know their address.

The house-elf bowed his head. "The man said that Mrs. Lestrange's loyalty was admirable."

Several people stood up from their seats at once, and Bella's body trembled slightly.

"Please, please come in." Lucius swallowed.

Soon, they saw someone coming in the living room. The other party was wearing a cloak, and under the hood was a masked face.

"Your Excellency..." Lucius opened his mouth tentatively, but the other party quickly interrupted them.

"Shh, Lucius..." The man in black put his fingers to his lips, then turned his head slightly.

"Regulus Black, Lucius, Narcissa Malfoy, and Bellatrix Lestrange..." He called out the names of everyone in the room, then croaked. Laughter, "Ha, it's all my own, good news..."

"Who are you?" Regulus frowned.

The man in black snorted coldly, then rolled up his sleeves, and on the forearm of his left hand, the mark of the black devil was in sight.

Under the complicated gaze of the others, the man in black quickly put down his clothes and said sarcastically, "Obviously, the master doesn't trust you very much now—my own people."

"No, no," Bella stepped forward quickly, with begging and hope in her eyes, "I am still the most loyal servant of the master, is he, is he okay now?"

The man in black looked at Bella, and his tone slowed down a lot: "Of course, the master is more powerful than you think-Mrs. Lestrange, the master has specially praised you..."

In Bella's excited eyes, he swept the others: "Compared to the cunning Malfoy, Bella's loyalty to me is really touching - he said so."

"Master, master—" Bella almost burst into tears.

Lucius trembled uncontrollably, but he was not frightened: "Sir, prove, how do you prove—"

"Because the master didn't respond to you?" The man in black sneered, "If it wasn't for your use, I would take your body directly to apologize to the master."

He took out a wand, and the others widened their eyes and lowered their heads.

That's the master's wand!

Lucius' Adam's apple twitched vigorously: "Then, why doesn't the master contact his loyal servant with the Dark Mark..."

The man in black let out a dull laugh: "Don't you understand? You guys."

Lucius raised his head and tentatively asked in a low voice, "Who is the master?"

"Hmph, your loyalty is doubtful!"

"Absolutely not! We are willing to give everything to our master!"

"This needs you to prove..." The man in black looked at everyone coldly.

Regulus looked at the other party from the corner of his eye, but couldn't find any impression of the other party at all. He considered it for a moment, and said respectfully, "I wonder what the master has planned?"

"I'm here to convey the master's will," said the man in black, "From today onwards, don't use the Dark Mark to contact everyone, don't tell them that the master has returned, just say that there is news about the master that requires everyone to gather— How about it, can it be done?"

"Yes." All four lowered their heads.

"Very well, you should be able to understand the master's intentions," the man in black nodded with satisfaction, "and I'll come to you first. First, Lestrange's loyalty moved the master, and second, he also treated the rest of you. There are certain expectations. Lestrange, have a list of how everyone will react."

"Don't let the master down..." Leaving the last sentence, the man in black with the yew wand left the Malfoy family's mansion.

After that, the four of them raised their heads. Except for Bella, who was excited and frenzied, everyone else looked at each other deeply.

Master...the interior is going to be cleaned!

Regulus talked to the Malfoys for a few words and then returned to Twelve Grimmauld Place, his face somber and his worries lingering.

Back in his room, he took out a mirror.

"...Yes, he's back."

"The identity of the man in black is unclear, but the wand can't be fake..."

"...I know, I will contact..."

A low voice of dialogue sounded in the room, and at this moment, the Death Eaters in the UK saw their former 'comrades' again.

In the middle of the night in Nurmengard Castle, a man in black walked out of a certain room. He took off his hood and sighed: "Why is it so natural when I pretend to be a villain... and the feeling of being a fox and a tiger is really good. what……"

This man is Sean.

Return to England through the disappearing cabinet, and then go to Malfoy Manor - Dumbledore naturally knows the specific location.

Sean, who is fox and tiger, went to the Malfoy family. He originally thought that the other party would be very suspicious, but Riddle's power was beyond imagination. Down on the ground.

He also prepared other things...

The reason for Sean pretending to be Riddle's new follower is very simple. Riddle will not do this kind of 'little thing' himself - if he appears as Riddle, but can't use the Dark Mark, then sit there Are you waiting for the Death Eaters to be summoned?

That lacks the sense of mystery and fear and the longer it goes, the easier it will be to see flaws. Although most of the Death Eaters are stupid, there are also people like Barty Crouch Jr. of smart people.

Seeing the performance of those people tonight, Sean has more confidence in the future plan. The Death Eaters are much more afraid of Riddle than he imagined, which is enough to see Riddle's usual cruelty and terrible.

However, this is naturally good news for Sean.

Now waiting for the appointed date...

three days later.

Outside Hogwarts Castle, Grindelwald glanced at the wand in Sean's hand: "Used a lot of fluorescent spells?"

"A little preparation." Sean shrugged.

He did not change into Riddle's appearance, nor did he make any disguise, but used his true face.

"Ha - that's interesting." Grindelwald laughed and teleported away with Sean.
