Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 142 The Secret of the Dark Mark

"The Dark Mark!"

With the help of Quirrell's mouth, Voldemort recited a spell.

This is a magic spell he invented to reward his most loyal subordinates, which can put a magical mark on the latter's body.

During the years when he dominated the British wizarding world, through this brand, Voldemort could communicate instantly with various loyal subordinates.

It is precisely by relying on the Mark of the Dark that they can fully share information with each other - "You come in several ways, I only go one way" - always defeating the few with more, and the elite Aurors of the British Ministry of Magic are all defeated. I lost my temper.

Later, whether there was a magic mark like "Swallowing Viper Skull" became the internal ranking criterion for Voldemort's followers.

Only wizards with the Mark of the Dark can be called "Death Eaters", and they are Voldemort's true cronies and enjoy all the power within the organization.

In the later years of his rise, Voldemort also taught the spell of casting the "Dark Mark" to some high-ranking Death Eaters.

The latter can cast the Dark Mark and cast spells on buildings or other objects.

However, none of the Death Eaters who have learned the "Dark Mark" can leave such a mark on human beings like Voldemort.

The reason is also very simple: Voldemort doesn't understand the meaning of the word "share" at all, and he doesn't know how to teach other people valuable magical knowledge.

The spell he taught those Death Eaters, to put it bluntly, was actually just summoning a dark mark that was only superficial.

In addition to the instant messaging function, the Dark Mark magic he invented also has another more magical effect.

And this is actually a secret that Voldemort has been deliberately hiding.

Even among the core members of the Death Eaters, no one really knows what it is.

Of course, there may be people who have seen it with their own eyes, but later lost their lives - just like the principle of "Kang's Stealth", everyone who sees the stalker is stunned, and naturally it is a perfect stealth.

Perhaps it was a telepathic connection, or perhaps the wizard's intuition was taking effect, but Snape sensed a malicious intent.

So he took the lead and shot an "Expelliarmus" at Chilo who was being "fire-roasted bean sprouts.JPG".

However, before his spell could hit its target, Quirrell's (Voldemort's) spell took effect faster.

The dark mark on his forearm was accompanied by a stinging pain, as if someone was pulling his arm with a meat hook.

The disarming spell Snape fired missed the target, and even he himself was dragged by the Dark Mark through the air. In a "swish", he was with Quirrell (Voldemort) who was caught by the Knight Errant's Thunder Fist. A position swap has occurred.

And this is the secret function of the Dark Mark that Voldemort carefully concealed: when in danger, a spell can allow Death Eaters to ward off disaster.

Aren't you Death Eaters? Aren't you my loyal servants of Voldemort? Don’t you keep saying that you are willing to fight to the end for “pure blood”?

Then I will give you a chance, protect you, and let your prophecy finally come true.

Oaths are magical.

As long as the mark of the Dark Devil is imprinted, Voldemort can activate the contract magic contained in it to achieve magical magic such as the "Great Shift of the Universe."

Snape, who was young and ignorant, was also brainwashed by Voldemort's propaganda and was imprinted with the mark of the Dark Lord. At this time, he had to be at the mercy of this oath.

Although he added an armor protection spell to himself at the critical moment, the youngest professor at Hogwarts still suffered some burns, and the black wizard robe on his body became riddled with holes.

"Damn it!" Snape cursed secretly, trying hard to break free from the knight errant's grasp.

It took some effort by Bourne, who remotely controlled the mecha, to appease the fanatical machine spirit of the knight mecha, causing its melt cannon to temporarily stop spraying flames.

However, Quirrell, who had escaped being roasted as an "acquaintance" by shifting places, was not likely to be able to breathe a sigh of relief at this time.

After he and Snape exchanged places, Newt immediately released the Winged Demon in his hands before he could take Harry and the other little wizards away.

The Winged Demon is a magical creature with a pair of blue-green wings. It looks like a giant butterfly, but its head looks like some kind of reptilian creature.

When not spreading its spiky wings but instead wrapping itself tightly around itself, the crocodile looks like a green, spiny cocoon.

Like throwing a yo-yo, Professor Scamander threw the Winged Demon at Quirrell.

This magical animal can fly very fast and secrete a venom that can cause memory loss.

Even a dozen milliliters of Crouching Wing Demon venom, after being diluted by rain, can cause people in several blocks of New York City to lose their memory for a period of time.

As long as there is enough water vapor in the surrounding air, a tiny bit of venom-laden saliva sprayed from the mouth of the curling-winged demon can be dissolved in it, causing the brain of the prey it attacks to shut down immediately.

And this final level to protect the Magic Stone is located in a cave deep underground in Hogwarts. The environment is naturally much humid than the surface.

As the Curled-winged Demon let out a strange cry, it flapped its huge wings and pounced towards Quirrell's face.

Facing the sudden "head-hugging attack", it was too late for Quirrell to dodge. He could only bite the bullet and resist the huge wind pressure. At the same time, he muttered two or three magic spells from his wand in no particular order. Jet out.

In an instant, dry sand filled the air in front of him, and used it to repel the poisonous moist gas coming towards his face.

Not only that, the magical power contained in several spells intertwined with the attacks of the curling-winged demon, colliding into brilliant arcs.

But then, the curling-winged demon's body twisted strangely, drawing an arc and trying to wrap around the back of Quirrell's head.

Voldemort couldn't help but shudder - even though he had a plug face, it didn't mean that he liked being wedged by the sharp teeth of the Winged Demon.

"Face me head-on! You bastard!" He controlled Quirrell to yell angrily. Clouds of sand and dust raised by the "Flying Sand and Stone Curse" swirled around Quirrell's body. He relied on his body's instinct to struggle violently, trying to get rid of the curling-winged demon's relentless attacks.

The magic spell was flying, and the "Flying Sand and Stone Spell" collided with the curling-winged demon's thorny body, exploding into countless sparks.

However, very fortunately for Quirrell, his head was never wrapped by the Winged Demon.

Suddenly, a blazing spark appeared next to Voldemort, who had not yet completely escaped from the chaos. He turned around and saw that the Curled-winged Demon was curling up into a hard cocoon, trying to penetrate the barrier of the "Flying Sand and Stone Curse" in this form with the smallest "stress-bearing" area. he
Quirrell quickly raised his wand and slammed it into the cocoon of the Winged Demon. The impact of the wand with the "thumping" spell on the crouching demon was deafening. He was also secretly glad that his reaction was extremely fast, otherwise the Curling Wing Demon would definitely cause fatal damage to him this time.

In this battle of magic and instinct, the two sides' offense and defense are intertwined, and they are extremely brave!

In the end, under Voldemort's command, Quirrell's magical ability was superior - not only did he hit the cocoon of the Crooked-winged Demon at the critical moment, but he also used the cocoon as a target and used a "Ten Thousand Birds" "Qi Fei" knocked the curling-winged demon's body flying far away.

A swarm of crows summoned by the spell surrounded the Crooked-winged Demon, which temporarily prevented the magical creature from launching an attack on Quirrell himself.

"Damn old man!"

Quirrell looked ferociously at the "initiator" of all that just happened, that is, Scamander, the master of the Winged Demon, and let out a roar.

His mouth opened wide, and the overwhelming voice turned into tangible sound waves, which suddenly hit the "Armor Curse" in front of the old wizard.

However, Scamander did not continue to bear the damage on the spot. The moment he was hit by the magic, he turned his wand into a rope and tied the three young wizards Harry, Ron and Hermione, and took them with him. They all spun around and quickly got into the box they were carrying.

The sonic magic powered by Voldemort defeated the "Armor Curse" and hit Scamander's suitcase, but it only caused some scratches on the surface of the leather case made of fire dragon skin.

Seeing this, Quirrell frowned, but he did not continue to try to break Scamander's suitcase, which was famous in the entire magical world. Instead, he cast some other spells in succession.

Soon, the crows that were besieging the Winged Demon first turned into venomous snakes. They were entangled with each other to form a cage, locking the Devil in it. After completing the "containment", these poisonous snakes were temporarily turned into steel by the transformation spell, ensuring that the curled-winged demon could not break through the blockade.

As for Scamander's suitcase, Quirrell used a powerful spell called the "Permanent Sticking Spell". He summoned a large ball of magic gel to fill the gaps in the suitcase. , also creates a strong seal.

"Don't worry about this yet!"

Voldemort roared in Quirrell's mind:

"Open your hood, I want to speak to Severus Snape, face to face."

"But Master, your power is not enough!"

"You know nothing about power."

If there is such a thing as a "breeding Olympics" in this world, then Tom Riddle is probably one of the strong candidates to compete for the championship.

Quirrell obviously couldn't resist his master.

He could only follow the instructions and untied the thick turban similar to that of a Sikh Christian. The turban fell down. Without the turban, Quirrell's head became unusually small. Then, he quickly turned around and aimed his back at Snape, who was struggling.

Snape, who was restrained by Thunder Iron Fist, could not help but widen his eyes.

Where the back of Quirrell's head should have been, there was a face! On his face as white as chalk, there is a pair of small, shining red eyes, and his nose is a split slit.

It looks just like a snake!

And Snape actually still recognized this face - even though it had no nose now - he was bewitched to become a Death Eater by this face many years ago, and this face was also the object of his worship.

Until that night...

"Severus, long time no see." The face opened its mouth and whispered hello.

An unspeakable sense of fear seized Snape's mind, and he suddenly had the urge to run away desperately, but his freedom of movement was restricted by the Knight Errant's Thunder Fist.

However, it was precisely because he did not escape immediately that he realized something, and then quickly activated the "Occlumency" with all his strength.

The fear soon subsided.

Only then did Snape realize that, just like he had just been forced to disembodied, this inner fear of the Dark Lord seemed to be another very mysterious hidden function of the Dark Mark.

This is Voldemort's trick again.

"Have you forgotten what I said?" said the face: "I will definitely come back. I have conquered death like everything else.

But I have to admit that my life is too light and dark and hidden now.

Now I only have one body to share, but there are usually a lot of people willing to let me use their hearts and minds, which is nice.

The blood of magical animals has been increasing my strength over the past few weeks - didn't you see my loyal servant Quirrell seeking the blood of magical animals, and he is doing my service?

Now, as long as I have the magic stone that can make the elixir of life, I can create a body of my own.

Remember the truth I told you?

Only the victors deserve support and help.

Having conquered death, I will never fail. Why don't you cooperate with me?

Help me find the Philosopher's Stone.

I will be resurrected, become the master of the Ministry of Magic, become the master of Britain, and ascend the throne and be crowned the Emperor of the Magical World! "
