Sean felt his breathing suddenly become rapid, and he couldn't wait to catch the lost Baron Skinner.
His hands passed through the pearly white body as if he were stretching into ice water. Sean frowned and retracted his hands, speaking urgently: "What happens next? What will happen next?"
Baron Skinner whispered: "I didn't know it clearly after that, but the book describes how huge, how terrifying, and how... fascinating..."
"But that would require betraying the person you love, and even doing such a thing with your own hands..." Sean took a deep breath and looked at Baron Skinner with contempt.
Originally, whether it was to ask for more information or to gain the other party's trust, Sean should have pretended to be hypocritical.
But Sean doesn't want to do this at all. He hates betrayal extremely, and even more hates the regret and guilt that the betrayer feels afterward.
This was one of the reasons why the relationship between him and Stephanie was so tense in the first place. Sean instinctively disliked this feeling.
Moreover, the conditions for establishing a blood pact are also very strict. Two people who do not have a deep relationship cannot establish a blood pact, and it will not take long for them to encounter the backlash of the blood pact because of their own ideas.
Baron Skinner saw Sean's gaze, and he laughed miserably, wishing he could stuff his head into the cracks in the ground.
"Yes, yes, I am such a despicable bastard..."
"Why didn't you gain power by killing Corina in the first place?" Sean asked coldly.
Skinner clenched his fists: "Because, because memory can only be covered, not erased, and my ability to control the memory curse is not enough..."
He sighed deeply and explained in a completely decadent voice: "To achieve the real contract behind the blood alliance, your love for another person cannot be reduced. Then, you have to use the deepest and most powerful memory magic
Use the curse to deceive your brain and bury this love deeply."
"At this time, you have to hurt the other party... drain away the other party's love and ingrain hatred in the other party's mind. Then, the blood alliance will be broken -" Skinner closed his eyes in pain, "
A new contract will be quietly established when the blood pact is broken, and then, kill your lover who originally loved you deeply but now hates you..."
"Drink the blood of your lover, and then remove the concealment from your brain... You will regret, you will be in pain, you will be so sad that you can't breathe, and the most painful thing is that your lover's hatred sprouts in your love..."
"You will gain the power to build hatred on top of love. Not only that, your lover's magic will also be absorbed by you... The smaller the gap in magic and talent between two people, the deeper your love will be, then
The strength will be stronger.”
"According to the description in the book, even I, a not-so-excellent wizard, after gaining the true power of the blood alliance, can rival or even be better than the most powerful wizard in the world..."
Skinner cried bitterly: "I, I was confused by that power..."
Sean looked at the other person with more and more disgust, and he didn't even want to look at Skinner again.
"You are indeed a disgusting betrayer, and you are right." Sean said coldly.
Baron Skinner collapsed, with endless regret and incomprehensible guilt in his eyes.
"I, I did all that... everything went smoothly, yes, how could it not go smoothly? We were so in love..." Skinner's transparent tears fell down, and he murmured to himself, "I
I did something very, very outrageous, but Corina was just worried about me at first. She was worried about whether I had suffered something..."
"My heart was so cold at that time, I carried out everything coldly..." Skinner began to sob, "Corina finally... knew all this... She should hate me so much... Blood Alliance
It was broken, and the real contract began to be established...Corina, she is better than me, more talented than me..."
"And I took a step ahead of schedule. I removed the concealment of my memories in advance... I cried and confessed to her, trying to seek forgiveness... What a shameful act, I actually have the nerve to beg for forgiveness..."
Skinner raised his head and stared blankly in one direction: "She should not forgive me...she in turn dominated the contract and wanted to kill me with hatred to gain control of the true power of the blood alliance."
"What she did was right, she should have done this, and this is the compensation I should make... But, but..." The ghost named Baron Skinner was trembling violently, and his pearly white body was even shaking because of
The mood fluctuated.
"Ah - ah -" A hoarse and desperate sound came from his throat, and then he knelt down and cried loudly.
"How could Corina die? How could she die!"
Cries of extreme despair filled the entire basement, and even Sean, who had been watching with cold eyes, turned his head.
Nothing could be more desperate than this...
Baron Skinner will never forgive himself.
Even if the other party didn't say it, Sean could guess why.
The true contract of the blood alliance is based on the two infinite extreme emotions of love and hate, and there is only one reason why Corina failed and even exploded to death.
Her hatred is not pure enough.
Yes……
Sean glanced at the ghost who had completely lost his mind and was so desperate that he couldn't speak.
"Even after you did such a thing, deep in Ms. Corina's heart..." Sean began slowly.
Baron Skinner raised his head like crazy, and begged Sean: "Please, please, don't say, don't say..."
"You know it yourself." Sean just replied calmly.
Skinner floated on the ground, and he knelt down tremblingly. His eyes were full of endless pleading, despair and regret, and transparent tears rolled down his face.
"Please! Please! Don't tell me! Don't tell me!" he was screaming.
Sean raised his chin slightly and looked down at the other person.
"She still loves you."
Baron Skinner's screams and cries stopped abruptly, his tears couldn't stop falling, and his eyes had completely lost focus.
This sentence is even more powerful than the Imperius Curse.
The ghost's trembling hands grabbed his clothes, and he pressed the huge wound on his chest, as if there was a heart inside.
"Ah-ah-ah-ah-"
The shrill cries echoed quietly in the room.
This is what you should bear... Sean thought silently in his heart.
He didn't speak again, nor did he try to comfort the other person. He just watched calmly as Baron Skinner tortured himself in pain and guilt.
Skinner has been studying the Blood Pact for so long, it is impossible for him not to know the real cause of Corina's death.
However, he has been trying to ignore this ironclad fact. Maybe if Corina truly hates him and no longer has any love for him, it will make him feel better.
This allows him to keep deceiving himself and use his identity as a ghost to keep repenting.
Sean couldn't help but sigh, and he also understood why Baron Skinner turned into a ghost and stayed in the real world.
It's not obsession, but timidity.
He is afraid, he does not dare to go to another world, he is worried that he will meet Corina who is also dead.
However, repentance and forgiveness are the business of Skinner and Colina. Sean is just a spectator. He cannot and does not want to do more.
He now needs to face another reality that makes him even more frightened.
Dumbledore and Grindelwald.
Is their blood alliance... broken?
If broken, then...
Sean sighed.
Who could be that betrayer?
If we start from the current situation and judge from what Andros said before, he is telling Grindelwald: Dumbledore already knows your evil secret with our help, otherwise he would not help us, you guys
There is no chance for both of them.
From this point of view, it seems that Grindelwald has known the truth about the Blood Pact for a long time, while Dumbledore only knew it not long ago. In other words, the person who was preparing to gain real power from the beginning was Grindelwald.
However, Sean did not forget that Andros also said that the supreme power was no longer Grindelwald's turn.
From this point of view, it is Dumbledore who can obtain the supreme power... So, doesn't it mean that Dumbledore may have chosen to establish the real contract after the blood alliance?
Sean was still wondering what the supreme power was before, but now it seems that it is probably the huge magic power brought by the blood alliance.
Just imagine, Baron Skinner was bewitched by this huge force, and he became the painful and weeping ghost he is today.
At that time, Skinner was just an ordinary wizard. According to the history studied by Sean, ordinary wizards in the thirteenth century might only have the strength of Hogwarts graduates, and even their comprehensiveness was much worse.
The characteristic of these wizards from many centuries ago was the power of spells, because the ancient runes were not as studied historical texts as they are now. Wizards who can master the ancient runes are very good at powerful spells.
Have a hand.
Skinner said that if he could master the power of the Blood Alliance, he could directly rival or even surpass the strongest wizards in the world.
This explains the problem very much.
This is because the division of wizards' strength does not progress step by step. The most powerful wizards in the past have one characteristic - their strength far exceeds the so-called average strength, and even far exceeds those of elite wizards.
Yes, the gap in strength among wizards is very, very serious.
Just like now, Sean is already the top among students and can even defeat the elite wizards outside. However, if he fights head-on, it will be difficult for him to defeat multiple elite wizards quickly without paying a price.
But for Dumbledore or Grindelwald, ordinary wizards can only represent numbers. If they really wanted to, it would not be difficult to defeat one against a hundred.
And the Blood Pact can actually provide Skinner with such powerful magic power.
In addition, it is worth noting that after the final ritual of the Broken Blood Alliance is completed, the leader will not only gain powerful power, but also absorb all the magic power of his lover!
All the magic power will merge together and expand, and the smaller the difference in magic power and talent between the two sides of the blood alliance, the greater the expansion will be.
Grindelwald and Dumbledore are the two most powerful genius wizards in the world.
Sean could no longer imagine what would happen if one of the two gained power at the cost of the other's life.
How powerful will this magic be?
Perhaps, just as a wizard, he can directly match the guilt in Sean's body, or...be stronger!
Thinking carefully, Sean was horrified to find that his hands were numb because of this terrible thought.
Because, he thought of another more terrifying thing.
For a scary old man like Dumbledore who is so scheming and keen on planning, why can the returnees cooperate with him so confidently?
Is it just an unbreakable vow, or is it the phoenix Ariana who has yet to be heard from?
Sean asked himself, if he were a returnee, he wouldn't be so relieved about Dumbledore.
So, how did Dumbledore win the other party's trust?
And then think about the election scene for the president of the International Federation of Wizards. A figure like Grindelwald who was not afraid of death was actually disturbed by what Marshall took out.
What could move Grindelwald?
Sean found that the guess he made before coming here seemed to be coming true...
Why aren't the Returned worried that Dumbledore will join forces with Grindelwald? Why are they so sure that Dumbledore and Grindelwald have parted ways?
And why is Grindelwald so weird?
Sean took a deep breath and clenched his fists unconsciously.
Could it be that what Marshall showed Grindelwald that day was...
The broken blood alliance?
Only when the blood alliance has been broken, and the returnees see this, can they completely relax!
Blood pact is not just an oath, it is an extremely ancient magic!
The broken blood alliance can prove everything!
Yes, yes... Only the broken blood alliance can explain the irrationality of everything.
So, who is the betrayer among the two?!
Did Grindelwald have an idea in advance, or did Dumbledore realize it later and decide to strike first?
"Damn..." Sean couldn't help but cursed.
No matter who that person is, this matter will have extremely serious consequences!
Especially now, Grindelwald's story of traveling through a hundred years has been exposed, and Sean still needs to face the problem of the awakening of the world's will.
In an instant, a lot of pictures popped up in Sean's mind. Without exception, they were all scenes of the world burning in flames.
My brain hurts so much... Sean bared his teeth and smashed his temple.
Over there, Baron Skinner was completely absent-minded, and Sean strode over.
"Everything has happened, and this is all your choice. Your regret, your guilt, your betrayal, these are all your choices! You should bear this!" Sean said coldly.
Skinner had no reaction.
Sean continued in a deep voice: "Similarly, Ms. Kolina's love is also her own choice... although I feel very unworthy for her."
Skinner finally reacted. He looked at Sean tremblingly, his mouth wide open, but no sound came out.
"Now, I am trying to save another crisis that may be caused by this blood alliance," Sean squatted down and looked at the other party seriously, his voice was extremely serious, "I need you to help me and tell me everything you know.
,"
"I don't know what Ms. Corina is thinking, but I can confirm that she definitely doesn't want the tragedy like you two to happen again."
Skinner's tears fell again and he raised his head.
