Sean opened his eyes, and he was already sure that the broken blood alliance that belonged to his ancestors before him had experienced the same thing as Dumbledore and Grindelwald.
Moreover, just like Dumbledore, his ancestor committed suicide in order to allow the other side of the blood alliance to gain greater power.
This broken blood alliance must have been left behind by the ancestor’s lover.
Sean can almost guess the psychological activities of his ancestral lover... Grindelwald is the best reference example in front of him. When he was in Godric's Hollow, he did not hesitate to fight against memory and distort the Deathly Hallows, but also wanted to save it.
Dumbledore.
The ancestor's lover, presumably, was the same way. The other party must want to "bring" the ancestor back.
However, at present, it seems to have failed.
So what's left here... Sean looked at the jewelry box.
Shaking his head, Sean stopped his brainstorming. He carefully put away the two broken blood alliances, and then placed the wand on the inner layer of the jewelry box.
"A love that never fades but never blooms again."
no response?
Sean thought for a while and switched to the rune construction method.
At this time, the rusty jewelry box began to tremble unsteadily. The inner lining was like an iron door that had been locked for thousands of years. It swayed, creaked and grew larger, and then began to slowly open.
and expand.
Sure enough, it's the same ring as mine.
Seeing a scene similar to the one when he opened his ring, Sean finally came to his senses.
However, when the jewelry box "opened" in front of me, it looked like an old and extremely old piece that had been exposed to the wind and sun for many years in a garbage dump. It was shriveled and weak, and it would get stuck from time to time, which showed that the space expansion spell in it was almost unable to support it.
.
During the opening period, Sean kept holding the wand to prevent the space extension spell, which had reached its end, from completely losing its effect and causing an accident.
Fortunately, despite the difficulties, the "door" of the jewelry box was still opened.
The bottom of the box expanded into a hole, and a dusty basement step appeared in front of Sean.
Raising his glowing wand, Sean cautiously walked inside.
The steps going down were not long, only about three or four meters apart. When he walked in, Sean could clearly feel an unstable magic power, which meant that this space was on the verge of collapse.
However, I can still hold on for at least a year or two...
Having made this judgment, Sean walked into the basement boldly and confidently.
The stone chamber is narrow and dark. There is a seat on the right hand side after the steps. On top is a crystal cover covered with cobwebs and dust. It should be a place to place a light source.
Sean waved his wand, and the ball of light at the top flew into the crystal cover. The light was amplified. Although it was still dim and full of ghosts, he was finally able to see clearly what was going on in the basement.
The dust here has accumulated a thick layer on the ground, and Sean even feels like walking into the snow when he steps on it. In addition, the corners and walls covered with spider webs give off a rotten smell.
It even makes you a little dizzy.
In the middle of the stone room, there is a pair of knight's armor, which "sits" on the only iron-backed chair. The strange thing is that even the metal should be rusty or even completely damaged after so many years, with only iron pieces remaining.
However, apart from some dust, the armor's surface was bright and showed no signs of decay. There were a few scratches on the chest and shoulder armor, which seemed to have been left by swords back then.
When Sean got closer, he discovered that there was a skeleton next to the armor. The skeleton was sunk in the back, as if nestling behind the armor.
The clothes on the skeleton have long been weathered and turned to dust. Judging from the size of the skeleton, it should be a woman.
One of the female skeleton's hands was stuck in the arm of the armor, hanging down feebly. The other right hand was placed on her chest, and the part of the chest that was aimed at, the part of the sternum that was located at the heart, was all broken open.
It was like the heart had been drilled out.
Sean walked over silently and carefully opened the right hand of the female skeleton. It was a dagger.
The handle was completely rotted, but there was a faint silver light emitting from the tip of the dagger. There were several mostly rotten symbols engraved on the blade. Sean could barely make out that they should be ancient runic symbols.
Magic dagger, aimed at the heart...
Sean raised his head, and he could clearly see that the skull of the female skeleton was slightly turned sideways, as if staring at the person who should have been in the armor. Even in the empty eye sockets, Sean seemed to be able to feel a trace of the past.
Love and pain.
He was completely silent and could already guess the general situation.
The identity of this skeleton is also about to come out.
The lover of my ancestor...
And this armor should belong to his ancestor.
Sure enough, after wiping off the dust a little, you can see the rose badge on the chest of the armor.
Then, Sean raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the basement. From the moment he walked in, he felt a faint wave of magic coming from there, connecting the seat below and the armor above.
His body floated, dust and cobwebs were dusted off, and he saw something embedded in the ceiling of the basement.
A blood red heart.
The heart is lifelike, and the entire heart has been crystallized. The bright red color hidden inside is dim at the moment, but it is still flickering stubbornly, as if the heart is still beating.
Sean was silent for a moment, then waved his wand, and all the dust and cobwebs in the room stirred up.
The runes carved on the wall were finally clearly displayed in front of Sean.
Ancient runic symbols are used throughout the basement. These symbols are linked together to form a magic channel. The core of the channel's ability is also the source of magic that maintains the space extension spell here, which is this blood-red crystal heart.
.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The owner of the heart is the female skeleton who cut open her chest with a magic dagger.
Sean could even imagine a scene that spanned time. The unknown lady arranged everything, snuggled up next to her lover's armor, and then used a magic dagger to cut open her chest.
The magic power of the wizard responded to the magic channel built by ancient runes, and the heart "drilled" out, becoming the source of magic power that can last for thousands of years.
In addition to maintaining the space extension spell here, the only thing this lady has been maintaining is her lover's armor. Otherwise, a piece of armor without magic power cannot last for such a long time without decaying.
"Alas..." Sean sighed deeply.
He walked around the armor and bones and found what he wanted behind the seat.
It was a crystal bottle, and even the stopper was made of crystal. In order to ensure that the contents would not dissipate, the bottle was also engraved with ancient runic symbols.
In the bottle, bright silver mixed with dim yellow threads were floating ownerlessly.
That's a memory.
When Sean picked up the crystal bottle, the crystal heart embedded in the ceiling flashed rapidly. It seemed to be trying its best to emit the last bit of magic and to remind visitors that its mission was completed.
The space began to shake obviously.
Sean stopped staying. He very gently carried out the ancestor's armor and the female skeleton using a levitating spell. During this period, due to the inevitable movement, the armor made a sound of falling apart, and the bones also looked like they were falling apart.
.
Sean increased the magic output and cast the floating spell on every part, so that both of them maintained their original appearance - except for the armor's right hand and the skeleton's left hand, the two were tightly hugged together, seemingly forever.
Will not be separated.
After Sean gently moved everything out, he stood at the door of the basement, waving his wand, and the blood-red crystal heart slowly floated over.
Then, the space expansion spell that had been maintained for thousands of years in the jewelry box collapsed instantly.
The stone walls and other areas inside were not "squeezed out", but turned into dust in the space in a burst of distortion.
The jewelry box suddenly shrank and then grew in size. Finally, there was a "click" on the box, and there was no longer any fluctuation of magic power.
Standing on the stone slab, Sean looked at the armor and bones beside him. He was silent for a while, frowned and sighed for a while.
Finally, after hesitating for some time, he decided to take a look at the contents of the memory bottle.
You two, please hug each other for a while longer...
Taking out the Pensieve, Sean uncorked the bottle and quickly poured in the memories that were already showing signs of disintegration.
The wand went in and stirred, and there was a slight look of surprise in Sean's eyes - when checking memories, the wand was stirred to allow the memory to be read by the pensieve faster, and the memory itself was weightless, just like in the clouds.
It's like stirring inside.
However, this bright silver mixed with dim memory seems to be "sticky" to the wand, and there is always a strong sense of stickiness when it is stirred.
After some effort, all the memory wisps were finally read by the Pensieve.
Sean took a deep breath and then sunk his face.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was at the lake.
This lake... Sean was surprised to find that the lake in front of him was not far from him. It was near the real manor. It was a place where his family liked to have picnics when they were children.
If I remember correctly, there should be a flower bush nearby with many roses. My father often praised this place when he was a child, because the roses here surround a huge tree and are very beautiful, and the flowering period is longer than other roses.
of long.
He often said that this place was the blessing left by his ancestors.
Sure enough, Sean took a few steps towards the place he remembered and saw a large field of flowers. It was not much different from the flower field in his memory. The only difference was the tree.
The tree in the middle surrounded by flowers has just grown taller, only two or three meters high, but its lush shade seems to predict its future appearance.
Beside the tree, there is a person.
Sean stepped forward.
She was a very beautiful lady. She had green eyes, long silver hair, and proud, stubborn and extremely delicate eyebrows. She was wearing a long skirt with complicated and beautiful patterns printed on it. The long skirt touched the floor, but there was no
There was a trace of dirt stuck to it, and there was a light silver halo shaking at the hem of the skirt.
That's magic... Sean was immediately sure that the lady in front of him was his ancestor's lover, and of course, she was also a wizard.
However, this seemingly beautiful and stubborn lady was like a thread in the wind at the moment. She didn't have much expression, but the despair and sadness in her eyebrows were heartbreaking.
Sean waited quietly, but at this time, the lady spoke.
"I wonder who will come here..."
"I hope you can be a descendant of the Wallop family..."
The lady sighed again, her delicate eyebrows knitted together sadly, and her green pupils trembled gently.
"I don't know how to describe such a story to you, and the reason why I keep this memory is that I hope no one will suffer from this, and I also hope that my unfulfilled wish can be fulfilled... Of course..."
She looked in one direction, where Wallop Manor was located.
"I hope he...he can come back..."
There was another long silence. The lady did not shed any tears, but the sadness and pain in her body almost overflowed.
She was immersed in pain, but in the end she tried her best to smile in the direction of the manor.
"I miss him so much..."
After a moment, she knelt down gently and held a white rose petal in her hand.
"I met him five years ago. I am the daughter of a grand duke, and he is a new knight eager to make achievements... Originally, our lives were far apart. Even if he became a general, my best partner was also the king.
The child, I was supposed to be the prince’s wife.”
"He is proud but gentle, friendly and tolerant - I don't like this kind of person, I think this kind of person is too tired to live... As the daughter of the Grand Duke, I hope that my future husband can be more... more lively,
As a spoiled and willful woman, I always think, how can there be perfect people in the world?"
"Of course, we shouldn't get together... But accidents always happen, right? I am a wizard, and he is also a wizard..."
As she spoke, the woman seemed to be immersed in memory, with a bright smile on her face.
"My idea is correct. How can there be a perfect person in this world? Just like him, on the surface, everyone calls him the great White Rose, and calls him the most tolerant, friendly and moral knight.
But, in fact - hahaha, this person would actually curse the general behind his back because of his suppression, hoping that the other person would fall down and make a fool of himself next time he went hunting."
"It turned out that the general really fell off his horse while hunting. My father made a fool of himself in front of many ministers. On the surface, he seriously thought it was just an accident, but secretly he laughed so hard that he even drank too much.
Several glasses of wine - Hehe, actually it was me who did it, a small spell would be enough. The reason is that when that guy was suppressing the great White Rose, he actually mentioned me and wanted to marry me to this person -
—Look, how annoying some people are."
"That's where we started to get to know each other, and then we became friends..."
