The words that came out of Reinhard Nott's mouth were something Sean didn't expect.
In Sean's original guess, regardless of whether this was a trap by the other party, some useful information would always be released, but what he didn't expect was that the news was so explosive.
He has never heard of the so-called eight major families in ancient Greece. Generally speaking, all those in the wizarding world who can be called families are pure-blooded. Moreover, many pure-blooded families cannot even be called "families". They are huge.
There are only a few tribesmen in the ancient house, which can hardly be called a pure-blood family. Among them are loners like Slughorn - Sean has never heard of Professor Walrus having other tribesmen.
Although ancient Greece occupies an extremely important position in the history of wizards, it is often the prophets who are famous, and their descendants are not called so-and-so families.
Reinhardt threw out a so-called eight major families, and this number was exactly the same as the eight birds in the fable - except for the pigeons, the other birds were most likely the accomplices of the God-killing...
Do the descendants of those accomplices still possess special magical powers in their bodies?
According to Reinhardt, this magic power is actually related to guilt in some special way?
The unexpected news made Sean even more preoccupied.
In the utility room, the conversation between the two continued.
Theodore Nott obviously didn't know much about the eight families and the culpability mentioned by Reinhard Nott, but he had always been proud of his noble bloodline and was keenly aware that he seemed to be getting closer to some truth - the truth in his body
The truth about why flowing blood is so noble.
"If the crimes you are referring to are those in the Muggle world, I have heard of some..." he replied calmly.
Reinhard chuckled: "Theodore, your performance is not in line with my expectations of you - think about it, how many of the many myths and legends in the Muggle world originated from our wizarding world?
?”
Hearing this, Theodore narrowed his eyes: "The guilt you mentioned is the same thing as the seven deadly sins I know about?"
"Things? Oh, oh, my friends -" Reinhard showed an exaggerated expression, "If they hear you say that, they will probably be unhappy."
Now, it was Theodore's turn to be completely shocked.
"Them?! You mean, the guilt is real, they... no, they are gods?! This is impossible..."
Reinhardt was very satisfied with Theodore's shock: "This is not surprising. In addition, they are not gods. The real gods are beyond our imagination. Of course, the existence of guilt is far beyond our imagination.
"
Sean, who was listening to the conversation between the two, also frowned. Sure enough, the Returners knew the guilt very well. From this point of view, Reinhardt was indeed a member of the Returners, and he clearly understood the existence of the guilt.
But why did he say these words to Theodore Nott?
It took Theodore Nott a lot of time to digest the contents of the other party's guilt, eight major families, etc., and then he couldn't wait to ask: "How do you know this? Aren't you a lost bloodline of the Nott family?"
"Oh, oh, you just kept saying that you haven't admitted that I am a bloodline of the Nott family, my friend..." Reinhard laughed sarcastically.
Theodore's face turned slightly red, but he remained calm: "This does not conflict with my problem."
Reinhard did not grasp this point, and after a little ridicule, he continued: "According to the relationship, I am probably your cousin? Forget it, no one cares about that... First, you need to figure it out
One thing, my friends. It’s not me who is living abroad, but you, the British Nott family is the bloodline of living abroad.”
"I know this." Theodore frowned, "The Nott family originated from an older place, but the original main family has been completely destroyed."
"No, no, no," Reinhardt shook his finger, "The Nott family suffered a major blow back then, but apart from your bloodline, there are still survivors who have stayed dormant."
"You keep saying how noble the blood flowing in your body is, but you don't understand what is so noble about the blood in our bodies."
Theodore was lost in thought, and after a moment he raised his head and said, "Our bloodline...is related to guilt?"
"Not stupid at all... The existence and source of guilt are not accessible to young people like us, but I can tell you one thing, the Nott family is naturally matched with the magic of guilt."
"The magic of guilt?"
Reinhard smiled and nodded: "The magic of guilt is more noble than that of ordinary wizards. This nobility comes from the nature of magic. Even Dumbledore and Grindelwald are extremely powerful, but they are still
Ordinary wizards, the magic power in their bodies may be comparable to dozens of us, but the nature of the magic power is no different from other people's, the only difference is that they can use it better - the guilt is completely different, coming from a higher level of magic power.
Giving wizards more powerful and unpredictable power, this kind of magic only exists in the body of Guilty, but as a descendant of the eight major families, the surname Nott represents a ticket that ordinary wizards can never buy - we can
Contain the magic power of guilt and change the nature of the magic power in your body to a higher level."
Sean, who was listening intently to the conversation between the two, was suddenly startled. Just now, a familiar yet unfamiliar magic wave appeared!
Reinhard's voice came: "Do you feel it? This magic, this wonderful power, comes from guilt..."
Sean's breathing suddenly became rapid. This guy is really a container of guilt!
Although the fluctuation of magic power just now was so tiny that it would not be felt at all if you were not very close, but with just that slight fluctuation, Sean could still clearly detect the source of that power.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Guilty, absolutely sinful!
It was the same magic power he had felt when he fought Thomas, with a completely different nature from other magic powers!
In an instant, Sean could hardly help but want to take action directly to control Reinhard Nott.
But he finally endured it.
In the utility room, Theodore, who was closest, widened his eyes.
Just now, he personally felt that strange power that was completely different from his own. It was different, more special, more powerful, and of course, more fascinating.
He almost couldn't wait to ask: "Have you contained that kind of power? This, how did this come about? I have never heard of guilt appearing in this world, what do they look like? No, no, no, it should be said
, why does the guilt appear... No, no..."
When it came to the latter part, he was even incoherent. The sudden impact on the worldview plunged Theodore Nott into all kinds of excitement and confusion.
However, he finally found the core of the problem.
"Then, why did you suddenly come to me?"
Whether the other party wants to join the Knott family's genealogy, or wants the Knott family to "recognize their ancestors", it is obviously better to discuss this kind of matter with his father, Old Knott, and the timing of the other party's approach is also very strange.
, not when he first entered school, nor when the two of them were in the same place for the first time, but now.
What time is it now? During the Goblet of Fire, the entire semester was already halfway through, and the Reinhard Nott in front of him had just been lying in the infirmary for more than a month.
Wait, he's been lying there for more than a month... Theodore looked at the other person, his eyes showing caution.
"If you have such a powerful force, why would you still be beaten by Wallop..."
He is not a fool, on the contrary, he has to think more than others.
According to the other party, the power of guilt is obviously much stronger than the magic power of ordinary wizards, so why was Reinhard beaten so badly by Wallop.
There are only two possibilities. The first is that the so-called guilt is not as powerful as the other party describes, and the second is the key - using the power of guilt may require paying a huge price...
Reinhard came closer, staring directly at Theodore: "Man, isn't the answer to the question obvious? What is His name? Yes, guilt -"
"Ha, you don't think that you don't have to pay any price for having such a powerful power, do you? Moreover, how can such a culpable power appear openly and openly in front of everyone?"
Reinhard's answer made Theodore swallow his saliva. This so-called guilt seemed more...weird than he imagined.
Sean narrowed his eyes. He originally thought that Reinhardt would reveal the news that he was Arrogant to Theodore, but the other party did not... The returnee must know that he is Arrogant, but Reinhardt did not.
Without saying this…
Of course, Theodore is obviously not qualified to access more and deeper secrets, but it seems that another thing can be inferred from it - prophecy.
The more people who know the prophecy, the easier it is for the prophecy to come true... Could it be that the returnees are also worried that the prophecy will come true?
Interesting...
Reinhard continued: "Let me answer another question of yours, why did I come to you..."
"Before I told you, you didn't know about the existence of the eight major families and the guilt. Although this is an ancient secret, you should be able to see some clues - the eight major families are withering away, and we are seriously short of manpower.
Obviously, we need new blood to join..."
"Don't ask me why I didn't go to your father. To put it bluntly, your father has lost his enterprising spirit. Doesn't he know about the eight major families? No, he knows that there must be someone in the Nott family's genealogy.
There are records in this regard. But he didn’t tell you, and he didn’t even try to contact people from other families. Your father is not qualified to participate in such a great plan..."
Reinhard put his arm around Theodore's shoulders, and this time, the latter did not shake him off.
The former's tone was bewitching and full of meaning: "Theodore, this world belongs to the superiors after all, but the superiors cannot reach the top just by relying on blood... We need young people, we need to be more ambitious and more capable.
A capable guy... Ha, I think you are good, very good."
Theodore took a deep breath, and he recalled the magic power just now. For a moment, various emotions surged in his heart, and the strongest one was jealousy.
Yes, he is jealous, jealous of those who know the deep secrets that he does not know, jealous of those who have higher power... As for the other person's evaluation of his father, as a child, he should be angry, but...
His heart was telling him that what the other person said was absolutely correct.
His father is too old, too conservative, too...incompetent.
Although he didn't know what the great plan Reinhard was talking about was, Theodore's strong inner emotions told him that he wanted to participate in this great plan.
Otherwise, despite his noble bloodline, he would have no choice but to live a dull life like other wizards, which made him unwilling...
"Then, what do you want me to do when you find me?"
Any fresh blood, this is all an excuse. Theodore knew clearly that the other party coming to his door must have something useful for him.
"Smart-" Reinhard snapped his fingers with satisfaction.
Things went smoother than he imagined, but he didn't know...
Reinhard quietly observed his surroundings and found nothing strange.
But according to the information he received from Leon Schneider, Wallop has learned how to monitor the behavior of other people in Hogwarts Castle.
In other words, there is a high probability that what he is doing and everything he is saying has already been known to Wallop...
Gee, that’s so interesting…
Reinhard showed a weird smile and patted Theodore on the shoulder: "It's not your turn to take action now, but I hope that you can show up in time when I need your help, and by then, you will
When you come into contact with the real secrets, you will also learn how to develop your own bloodline. Great plans are waiting for you."
Theodore's breathing became a little faster. He wanted to calm down, but the restless emotions in his heart made him lose his previous calmness.
"When? What do you want me to do?" he asked impatiently.
"Don't worry, my friend, but before that, you have to do this..."
Sean, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, frowned, and there was suddenly no sound in the utility room.
Nadja sent back the news, and Reinhard handed a memory bottle to Theodore, seemingly not prepared to say something important in person.
After a while, Reinhard, pretending to be someone else, left the utility room and hurriedly walked towards Durmstrang's ship, while Theodore Nott also left the place quickly.
Looking at the two people leaving quickly, Sean hesitated a little. Should he directly ambush Reinhardt and catch him?
However, Thomas in his ring has already proved one thing - everyone among the returnees has an unbreakable oath, and grabbing them directly cannot reveal the key information...
Finally, Sean set his sights on Theodore Nott.
On the other side, Reinhardt, who returned to the Durmstrang ship, approached Leon Schneider.
"According to what you said, I have already given the things to that idiot."
