From Azkaban

For a moment, the only sound in the corridor was Bella's whimpering. Some Death Eaters who were about to speak to Locke slowly swallowed the words that were about to come out of their mouths.

"Oh my Merlin! You, you just now!"

Sirius' eyes widened and his gaze kept moving back and forth between the ball gag in Bella's mouth and Locke's face.

"Are the people in the Ministry of Magic so powerful now?"

After going back and forth for a few times, Sirius suddenly said something out of the blue. Hearing this, Locke raised his eyebrows curiously and asked, "What does this mean?"

Recalling the ease and casualness with which Locke performed the Transfiguration just now, Sirius' heart was filled with disbelief and absurdity, so after hearing Locke's words he gave a dry smile.

"Oh, isn't it obvious? Even a guy like you can catch it. The year I came in, the Ministry didn't have that ability."

These words were spoken by Sirius, but they were also what the Death Eaters in the surrounding cells were thinking. At this moment, they looked at Locke standing in the aisle and felt that it was equally absurd.

Have they really been in Azkaban for that long? What is the situation outside now? The Ministry of Magic can even catch wizards of this strength.

"No wonder you dare to say that name without any care."

At this moment Sirius thought he understood everything, but in fact the reason why Locke was not afraid was only because he had a God's perspective.

"Oh, that's what you mean."

After hearing Sirius' explanation, Locke smiled knowingly and changed the subject, "You are overthinking it. You don't have to doubt your own memory. The Ministry of Magic is still the same as you remember it. No, it should be said that the current Ministry of Magic is not as good as it was back then."

"The Ministry of Magic has not become stronger, only I have become stronger."

Locke's tone of voice was very casual and he was smiling, but to Sirius's ears, he only felt arrogance and extreme self-confidence.

Of course, Sirius didn't think there was anything wrong with this. After all, the move just now was enough to prove Locke's profound magical powers.

However, this gave Sirius a new question. He looked at Locke with a puzzled look and hesitated for a moment before asking.

"If that's the case, why were you arrested? According to what you said, with the Ministry of Magic's capabilities, it's impossible to catch a wizard like you, right?"

"Why did he come in?" Locke thought about it briefly. He certainly couldn't say that he was weak before, and that he suddenly realized the truth after coming to Azkaban, and then his strength began to soar. No one would believe such a statement.

Locke thought about it for a while, and soon found that he didn't need to come up with any complicated excuses. "The reason is actually very simple." Looking up at Sirius who was expecting his answer, Locke's mouth curled up, "I was quite curious about this place, so I wanted to come in and take a look, and then I came."

Sirius never expected that it would be because of this reason. His originally expectant expression suddenly turned into "subway, old people, mobile phone", and a big question mark seemed to appear above his head.

Volume 1: Chapter 10 There are so many talented people here, I love them so much!

"Come in for a visit? Here? Azkaban?"

Three questions in a row were enough to show Sirius's feelings and thoughts at the moment.

The conversation between the two was also heard by the Death Eaters in other cells. When they heard that Locke was taken to Azkaban for such an outrageous reason, they felt that this man might have a mental problem.

Even Bella, who was gagged with a ball, stopped whimpering and stared at Locke with wide eyes as if he were a lunatic.

"Of course, don't you think this place is actually quite nice? It's quiet, comfortable, and there are many talented people."

Locke smiled and looked around as he spoke, his eyes passing over the faces of the Death Eaters who were looking at him.

"Talent?"

Locke's answer made Sirius stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Locke was talking about the Death Eaters in the cell.

"Talent. Why does this guy think the Death Eaters here are talented? Wait!"

A flash of lightning flashed through Sirius' mind, and his pupils suddenly trembled a few times. Looking at the smiling Locke, a terrible idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Is this guy planning to bring all the Death Eaters in Azkaban under his command?"

Thinking of this, Sirius's thoughts suddenly became extremely clear.

"The reason why this guy came to Azkaban on his own initiative was not what he said. He came to Azkaban on his own initiative just for the Death Eaters imprisoned there!"

"This guy is planning to become the new Dark Lord! He didn't come to Azkaban for a visit, he just came to select his men!" Ling

Thinking of this, Sirius suddenly felt that everything was clear. From this line of thought, everything made sense.

Sirius, who firmly believed in his own inference, began to sweat on his forehead. At this moment, when he looked at Locke's smile, he felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart, making him shiver all over.

"What's wrong with you? You suddenly look like you saw a ghost? Why, do you think there's something wrong with what I said?"

Locke saw Sirius' reaction. He thought Sirius was speechless because of his words. He suddenly found it quite interesting, so he continued to ask with a smile.

I have been in Azkaban for more than a month. Although every day is very fulfilling, I have to admit that it is less fun.

"No, I think it's fine."

Sirius answered Locke with a slight stutter, and continued with what Locke said.

"Haha, you're such an interesting person."

Locke was amused by Sirius' reaction. He laughed at the expression on his face that said "you are awesome, whatever you say is the truth."

"I'm interested. What does this mean? Could it be that he has a crush on me?"

After hearing Locke's words, Sirius immediately completed his imagination and thought that Locke was interested in him and was going to recruit him as his subordinate.

Thinking of this, Sirius suddenly became nervous. There was absolutely no way he would become the Dark Lord's subordinate and would never betray Dumbledore.

But in this situation, Sirius didn't dare to refuse Locke at all. It was not that he was afraid of death, but he felt that he must find a way to pass on this message.

Judging from Locke's appearance, it is obvious that he has not yet built up his own power. If we can stop him at this time, all dangers can be nipped in the bud.

If the other party were allowed to grow in power like Voldemort did, Sirius felt a chill in his heart at the thought. He was sure that the wizarding world would once again face a wave of catastrophe.

Moreover, this person is likely to learn from Voldemort's failure and become more difficult to deal with than Voldemort!

"Why do these talented wizards like to do the same thing?"

Sirius looked at Locke, feeling extremely puzzled. He was really speechless. Why couldn't these guys be a peaceful legendary wizard like Dumbledore?

World-weary novel group⑦1④4⑧67⑦0

"Spread the news. I must spread the news. I must let Dumbledore know about this!"

Just as Sirius secretly made up his mind, the Death Eaters in other cells who heard the conversation between Sirius and Locke gradually figured out what was going on.

Thinking of the powerful strength Locke had just demonstrated, a large number of Death Eaters looked at Locke with shining eyes, even with a bit of fanaticism.

Don't get me wrong, the Death Eaters were not overwhelmed by Locke's arrogance and were not ready to bow down to him. They did this only because they saw hope of escaping from Azkaban.

They thought the same as Sirius, that Locke came into Azkaban to select his subordinates, and seemed to be preparing to choose from among them.

This is also the reason why the Death Eaters are so excited. After all, the situation is now very clear. As long as they can be chosen by this adult, they can follow him and leave this hell that has tortured them for many years.

As for the Death Eaters, there was nothing wrong with pledging allegiance to them as long as they could be rescued from Azkaban.

Except for a very small number of Death Eaters like Bella who are love-minded, the rest of the Death Eaters either rely on Voldemort for profit or succumb to the terror brought by Voldemort's power and violence.

There are very few who can truly be said to be loyal. After all, not everyone is extreme and only likes terror and chaos. Most Death Eaters actually like the huge benefits hidden under terror and chaos.

Therefore, after Voldemort's downfall, the Death Eaters gathered under his command scattered like birds and beasts, reluctantly cutting off their interests, attacking and exposing each other in order to protect themselves.

After all, it is just a terrorist group without beliefs and goals, which is simply entangled by violence and interests. It is arrogant and domineering when it has the upper hand and it is profitable. When the situation is not right and danger is coming, it is like a pile of loose sand and flees for its life. There is fundamentally no cohesion.

If such a group wants to accomplish great things, unless Voldemort, as the only gathering point, is powerful enough to overwhelm everything and crush all enemies and keep winning, otherwise, a single failure will lead to a complete loss.

Obviously, Voldemort did not have such strength, so he was defeated and lost his IQ as well.

"Okay, I won't chat with you any more. I came up here to do some serious business."

Seeing that Sirius stopped talking, Locke did not continue. Now that his magic development was complete, he would definitely become a big eater in the future. The food for seven people downstairs would definitely not be enough, so he came up.

As for why they chose to go up this floor instead of going down, the reasons are very simple. First, this floor has the lowest risk, and second, these Death Eaters are truly talented.

Every one of the people here are elites from pure-blood families. No matter what they were like in the past, at least the knowledge in their heads is very valuable.

People are guilty, but knowledge is innocent, so Locke chose this floor. He wanted to dig out all the knowledge in these Death Eaters' heads, just like digging for treasure.

Volume 1: Chapter 11: Talking about Reason

On the top floor of Azkaban, all the prisoners in the cells straightened their bodies and listened attentively to the sounds coming from the corridor. No one dared to make a sound, not even Bella.

"This is how it is. If anyone is dissatisfied, please speak up. I'm not an unreasonable person."

Locke's voice spread in the corridor. Upon hearing this, the corners of the Death Eaters' mouths twitched, and the only eye that could move moved left and right.

"You're being reasonable? Do you want to see what you're saying?"

Sirius looked at the spikes that surrounded him 360 degrees, almost touching his skin, each of which was shining with a cold metallic light, and he kept screaming in his heart.

Just now, after Locke said that he was going to do his job, he gently raised his hand. The next moment, all the cells holding the prisoners came alive. The originally gray and black stone walls rotated like water and turned into extremely sharp iron spikes, surrounding all the prisoners in all directions.

After controlling everyone, he slowly spoke out the reason why he came up.

Of course, Sirius would not believe what Locke said at all. After all, in his heart, Locke was a reserve Dark Lord.

What about taking half of the food? Sirius firmly believed that this must be a step for Locke to screen his subordinates. After all, he couldn't finish eating so much food by himself. This behavior was most likely to observe the obedience of the Death Eaters.

From Locke's style of behavior, Sirius also felt a familiar feeling, the familiar feeling of using power to force others to obey, just like Voldemort.

The other Death Eaters had the same thought at this moment. This familiar style of behavior and sense of oppression was definitely the style of the Dark Lord. It seemed that the new Dark Lord was similar to the previous one.

How to say it, the Death Eaters didn't feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, the more Locke acted like this, the happier they were, because it meant that their guess was correct, and it proved that Locke did have the ability to be the Dark Lord.

So what they have to do next is to perform well, show their ability and obedience, let Locke choose them and offer his loyalty, then they can escape from this hell.

"This guy is more dangerous than Voldemort. This level of Transfiguration, damn it, how come these talented guys are all crazy!"

World-weary novel group⑦1④4⑧67⑦0

Being able to easily use Transfiguration with such a large impact area and such detailed transformation skills without a wand is something that ordinary wizards would not even dare to think about. Sirius could not imagine how powerful Locke would be after getting the wand.

Although he had said it once before, Sirius couldn't help it at this moment. He couldn't understand why these crazy guys were so talented.

"Very good, it seems that everyone has no objection, so let's leave it at that. Finally, I will remind you not to do anything tricky with the food, as that will only hasten your death."

Naturally, Locke would not speak in a nice tone to these Death Eaters. He was not here to make friends, and he would not make friends with these Death Eaters.

All he needed was food and the knowledge in their heads. Locke would use whatever method was fastest.

It just so happened that Locke knew very well what kind of people these guys were, and he knew that they would only obey him after he showed enough strength to scare them.

So he started with Transfiguration, placing the sharp blade against the throat of each of them, making them understand their situation and position before starting to speak.

As for why they even brought Sirius along, it was because the atmosphere was like that. Wouldn't it be a bit conspicuous if he was alone?

To be honest, the effect of this trick was very good, even outstanding, because after Locke lifted the Transfiguration, every Death Eater in the cell answered Locke in a very flattering tone.

Even Bella, who had been preparing to attack Locke just now, was silent at this moment. Although she didn't say anything, she didn't dare to continue to argue with Locke.

"Just wait, you spineless fellows. When the master comes back, you will all die."

Bella retracted her body into the depths of the cell with a vicious look in her eyes. She clenched her teeth silently as she listened to the noise outside.

Just when Bella was hiding in the corner and getting angry, Locke left the floor.

Everything that needed to be said had been said this time, and Locke was not in a hurry to talk about the knowledge of magic.

Don't push him too hard. He doesn't need it urgently now anyway. He hasn't learned all the knowledge in his head yet. Take it slow. These guys can't run away from here, so just take it slow.

Locke's footsteps soon disappeared, and after confirming that Locke had indeed left, the quiet atmosphere disappeared instantly.

"Sirius, you are so lucky to be chosen by that adult directly."

In the cell diagonally opposite Sirius, Bella's husband, Rodolphus Lestrange, looked at his brother-in-law and spoke slowly.

Rodolphus used to not care about or fear being imprisoned in Azkaban, but after he was actually there, he knew what hell was.

The daily torture from the Dementors completely shattered all the pride and character in his heart, making him think about escaping from Azkaban all the time.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have that ability, and the Dark Lord he serves cannot bring him salvation.

The reason why he has been able to hold on for so long, besides not wanting to die, is because of a hope, a hope that Voldemort will come back again and rescue him.

Although he himself understood that the possibility was very small.

But no matter how small he was, he still persisted, and it could even be said that he was somewhat deceiving himself.

But from today on, Rodolphus will no longer wait for that tiny hope, because he has found new hope.

Compared to the slim hope of waiting for Voldemort, Locke who is now in front of him is undoubtedly a better choice.

Rodolphus no longer cares about being loyal to others. He was once loyal to Voldemort, but Voldemort could not save him, while Locke could take him out of hell.

If all it took was loyalty to get on the ferry out of hell, Rodolphus wouldn't hesitate for even a second.
