Chapter 541 The Black Demon Mark and the Death Eater's Gathering
Voldemort's eyes first fell on his father's tombstone, and when he looked at the surname "Riddle", his eyes revealed a sense of disgust and hatred. Then he moved his eyes away from the tombstone and began to examine his body.
His slender, pale fingers touched his chest, arms, and climbed up to his face. However, as the examination progressed, the anger in Voldemort's eyes became more and more intense.
"Why. Why?!" Voldemort could feel a trace of disharmony in his newborn body, like a wrong note in a piano piece, a blank space on the lawn, or coriander in a bowl of soup, destroying everything.
The overall sense of perfection.
It doesn't affect normal activities, but it's just uncomfortable. It feels like your body is sticky with sweat in the summer, and it feels like you wake up in the afternoon and the window has been darkened.
This awkward feeling completely ruined Voldemort's joy of rebirth. Voldemort felt that he should be angry, but now he didn't even know where to start.
Is there something wrong with my resurrection magic? No, the great Lord Voldemort will never make mistakes. That is because there is something wrong with the three steps of resurrection magic!
The bones of my father, the flesh of my servants, the blood of my enemies
Voldemort's brain began to work rapidly. He wanted to find out which step had gone wrong. First, he could exclude his father's bones; because he killed the old thing with his own hands, and then looked at the Muggles who buried the father's bones here.
question.
Could it be that the enemy's blood is not fresh enough? Voldemort was a little hesitant - there are few examples of this kind of resurrection magic in the entire history of the wizarding world. He can be called a pioneer in crossing the river by feeling the stones. In the past,
With almost zero experience, Voldemort was not sure whether there was any difference between tying Harry Potter to take blood and having his own servant take blood. He was still too eager to be resurrected, so he acted a little hastily.
At this time, he saw Peter Pettigrew standing aside with some flinching, blood dripping from his wrist. He frowned, took out a wand from the pocket of his robe, and waved it casually, touching the wound on Peter's wrist.
It healed.
Voldemort was wondering if the servant who gave the meat was not loyal enough? The servant's meat must be given voluntarily. Dinghe, Peter. Voluntarily?
What if the servant who offered the meat was not willing enough? Voldemort thought he had discovered the truth.
Let Peter take the blame for the failure of the resurrection magic!
This is actually unreasonable. Magic is a very idealistic thing, and Voldemort cast such an extremely rare spell. It is normal to make mistakes. There is no solid evidence to prove that Peter was wrong. But Voldemort punishes people.
, no evidence is required.
Voldemort gently stroked his wand and looked at Peter sideways.
Seemingly out of fear or respect, the two servants Peter and Barty lowered their heads and did not look directly at Voldemort.
"Heart-breaking and bone-cutting!"
He suddenly used the Cruciatus Curse on his loyal servant. This unexpected incident happened so unexpectedly that Little Crouch on the side shivered and held his own wand in his hand that was covered by the sleeves of his robe.
Peter twisted and screamed in pain. He lay on his back and rolled around crazily.
However, Voldemort only punished Peter slightly and had no intention of seriously torturing Peter, so he raised his wand after a few seconds, leaving the tortured Wormtail lying there breathing heavily...
"Get up," Voldemort said softly, "Wormtail, do you think your little cleverness can hide from the great Lord Voldemort? I have always known that you are not that loyal to me. You came back to me for screening, not out of loyalty, but out of loyalty.
It's because you're afraid of your old friend. You see, you resisted even if I asked you to offer a piece of meat."
Peter and Barty both had their hearts in their throats.
"You owe me thirteen years of debt, Wormtail. You should be glad that you have repaid some of it, otherwise today would not be as simple as a Cruciatus Curse." Voldemort fiddled with his wand. He did let Wormtail go.
But it also deprived him of his originally planned reward - a complete and powerful magic hand. Of course, according to Voldemort's character, he would also have a backdoor in this magic hand. Once Peter betrayed Voldemort, the magic hand would
Will strangle Peter to death.
So the reward was not distributed, but it was Peter's luck.
Hearing Azka's call to stop, Peter and Barty breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Azka looked at Peter in front of him and said lazily: "Stretch out your arm—not the broken one."
He leaned down, took Peter Pettigrew's left arm, and pulled up his sleeve. There was a bright red tattoo on the skin on the inside of his arm: a skull with a snake coming out of its mouth.
This is the way Death Eaters identify and communicate with each other: the Dark Mark. Only Azka's most core leaders will be branded with the Dark Mark, which is a very high honor in the eyes of the leader. Even Xiao Xiao
Dwarf Peter was only recently "gifted" with this mark.
Unlike special tattoos, the color of the Dark Mark on the Death Eaters' arms is related to Shan Meijin's state. After he lost power, all the marks on the Death Eaters faded. But now the mark has become bright red again
, becomes like blood.
Azka looked at it, and in his opinion there was no more perfect symbol than it. The combination of the skull symbolizing death and the snake representing Slytherin House perfectly demonstrated the nature of the Death Eaters: by
Pure-blood wizards come to spread fear and death. The Dark Mark has a deeper meaning. The dead magic world can only be brought to new life by pure-blood wizards.
In the eyes of Death Eaters, the magical world filled with mixed-blood wizards and hemp wizards is no different from a pool of stagnant water. Death Eaters are the only active force in this pool of stagnant water. Skeletons spitting out snakes, isn't it a kind of life in death?
? It’s frightening and has profound meaning. No wonder Shan Meijin and the Death Eaters love to use it.
The reason why Shan Meijin hates this mark is slightly different from that of her subordinates. This mark is a symbol of Death Eaters. When Shan Meijin sees the mark, she will recall the time when she was powerful in the magical world. The mark symbolizes
It doesn't matter to him what he is looking for, he just has the feeling of being superior to all living beings, the pleasure of having everything under control, and the way others are afraid of him.
Looking at the Dark Mark on Wormtail's arm, Azka showed a satisfied expression. It was such a perfect blood red! Although he felt that something was wrong with his body, it did not prevent him from recovering all his mana.
As weak as before - this Dark Mark is the best proof!…
"It appeared, as perfect as ever." Khozka sneered, "It's so late, everyone should be asleep, right? Then let me wake them up and let them come and meet their old master.
He pressed his long, pale fingers on Wormtail's arm, and the blood-red Dark Mark suddenly turned black.
The moment Azka pressed the Dark Mark, all kinds of wizards in all corners of the magical world woke up from their sweet dreams. Some of them were in Voldemort's class, some were sleeping in tents, and some were lying on the ground.
A super simple big bed. Different people's situations are very different, but they all did the same thing: get up and roll up the sleeve of their left arm.
They all have the same tattoo on their arms. This tattoo has been with them for more than ten years or even several years. Today, the long-stained tattoo was suddenly activated into a burnt black color, bringing a burning sensation, which turned the tattoo into a burnt black.
The Dark Marked Death Eater awakens from his sleep.
The person who was awakened looked at his arms and fell into a sluggish state
This change in the Dark Mark can only mean one thing: the mysterious man is back and he is gathering his servants. After feeling Azka's call, all Death Eaters must immediately apparate and appear next to him
, otherwise it may be regarded as rebellion.
In the prison of Voldemort's class, a hysterical roar suddenly broke out. An unkempt woman rushed to the door of her cell and banged the door of the cell desperately. In the process of banging the door, the tattered robe on her arms fell down,
A burnt black mark was revealed.
The inmates around her were in a similar state to hers. Everyone woke up and entered a state of excitement.
The Dark Mark is calling!
This means that their master, the unfaithful Lord Azka, is back! The chance of their release from prison has appeared on the horizon. How can this make them not excited?
The life in Voldemort's class is really not a human life. What is even more desperate is that they are all imprisoned for life. This kind of days with no end in sight is the most terrifying, just like Sisyphus in the myth. Many prisoners are
He died in prison because he saw no hope.
Now there is hope! Azka is here, and the future is here. Azka is here, and the Death Eaters will be free! They can go out and live a life of domineering power again.
There was a short burst of cheers throughout the Voldemort Class Prison, and then most of the prisoners shut their mouths, because the burst of positive emotions after being awakened by the Dark Mark attracted the guards and dementors of Voldemort Class.
.
The dementors were also confused: Why did this group of filter residues suddenly become fresh? It was like a pot of green tea, soaked in Sanhuo water. The original taste was as bland as white water, but suddenly a strong, tea-like aroma emerged.
It's a very abnormal phenomenon.
So they floated over to find out.
Feeling the bone-chilling chill, almost all the Death Eaters shut their mouths obediently, curled up, and prayed that the dementors could leave quickly. Only the unkempt woman was still banging on the cell door.
"Bella, please calm down for a moment." Some Death Eaters wanted Bella to calm down quickly to avoid further irritating the dementors, but Bella seemed not to hear them.
This unkempt female prisoner, named Bellatrix Lestrange, is Azka's most loyal and craziest subordinate...
In the end, Bella's "high-spirited" and "upward" mood successfully attracted the dementors.
Six or seven dementors stood in front of Bellatrix's cell door for a while, and then the crazy witch fainted. The dementors were very miserable.
Lucius and his wife fell into silence for a long time. Finally, Lucius could only sigh and apparated away.
Severus Snape stood in his cramped and dark bedroom, expressionless, letting the mark on his arm burn. After thinking for a moment, he put on his cloak and put on the mask he had not worn for many years.
, disappeared in place.
Let him go and meet the "old master" from many years ago!
A tall and thin wizard with short white hair and a goatee with curls at the end on his thin chin walked anxiously around his luxurious bedroom, his eyes full of
It's fear.
Igor Karkarov thought that the mysterious man might be resurrected, but he didn't expect it to be so sudden. He resurrected without any warning, which caused huge waves in Karkarov's heart.
Once the Dark Mark is burned, Death Eaters must be invited to the appointment. This is an iron rule. But Karkaroff did not have the courage to go. He reluctantly glanced at the luxurious bedroom behind him, and resolutely stepped into the fireplace - he ran away.
Already.
After Azka pressed the Dark Mark, he walked back and forth among the tombs, scanning the tombstones.
"Ha, this place actually reminds me of my family history. I wonder how many of my real family members have the courage to come back after feeling it?" Azka raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky with red eyes.
, "How many people would be foolish enough not to escape?'
The choking sound of cloaked Koko suddenly resounded in the air, and wizards appeared in every corner of the cemetery. Each wizard wore a hood and covered his face, just like they did during the parade a few hours ago.
Azka also stopped and waited quietly for the servants to come forward.
The Death Eaters knelt down in front of Azka and kissed the hem of his black robe, then stepped aside and formed a circle silently. Even Barty Crouch Jr. also made the same move and kissed him.
After Azka's robe, he found his position in the circle and stood up, surrounding Azka and Wormtail in the middle.
Everyone's actions were orderly, as if they had been rehearsed countless times.
"You should also go back and stand next to Barty for now." Shanmei gave Wormtail an order.
After receiving the order, Wormtail clumsily imitated the movements of other Death Eaters and stood tremblingly next to Barty.
There are still many vacancies in the circle, but Shanmei Jin no longer expects anyone to come.
"Thirteen years have passed since the last gathering, but you are still here, just like before." Shan Meijin's words sounded like she was praising the Death Eaters, but everyone trembled.
For a moment, it looked like the wind was blowing through the circle, blowing the circle in a special way.
"The stench of guilt." Azka raised his head and made a sniffing motion.
"You responded so quickly, which makes me extremely confused. Why has no one from this powerful force responded to the oath and gone to help their master in the past thirteen years?"
Everyone in the circle shivered again, and it could be seen that every Death Eater wanted to retreat, but did not dare.
"I have the answer, because they can't do anything to their master and are finished, so they run back to my enemies and tell them how innocent they are, how they were coerced, and how they were bewitched.
Some people even betrayed their comrades!' Azka looked around and found that the figure did not appear here, and he sneered.
"It's good not to come, he will pay the price.
Seeing someone taking the lead, many Death Eaters felt relieved: Great, let him become the biggest target.
After deciding a person's fate in an understatement, Azka ended up looking at his former subordinates.
His eyes fell on a person, and beads of sweat immediately appeared on that person's body.
"Why don't I remember I used the Imperius Curse to control you, Avery?'
The Death Eater immediately fell to the ground and crawled at Azka's feet, trembling from head to toe. He screamed: "Master, I
"Crush the bones!" Azka didn't even bother to listen to his explanation, and directly used the Cruciatus Curse on him. The screams echoed through the cemetery, and all the Death Eaters shivered.
