go? Then what he said originally, whether he was controlled by the Imperius Curse or blinded, in short, all the excuses he said were self-defeating. If...if that person fails in the end, can I escape judgment again like last time? If they can't escape, what will happen to the Malfoy family? And even if they go, no one can guarantee whether the Dark Lord will liquidate them. Death Eaters like them knew only too well how moody the Dark Lord was. If he went there and was given to the Avatar by the angry Dark Lord, where would he be able to reason with him? And as soon as he died, most of the Malfoy family collapsed.

Not going? Lucius is very clear about the consequences of not going. Once he fails to respond to the call of the Dark Mark at the first time, he will be regarded as a traitor by the Dark Lord, and then his former colleagues, whether they like it or not, will , they will all come to hunt for themselves and their families. Lucius was very familiar with this routine. After all, in the era when the Dark Lord was raging, Lucius had done this kind of work a lot.

The Dark Lord will return to the wizarding world one day, and they, the Death Eaters, know it all.

On the night when the Dark Lord failed, not only the ordinary wizards in the wizarding world of Ying were celebrating, some of the Death Eaters were also secretly happy, finally getting rid of this moody wizard and finally being able to live a normal life.

But they were not happy for long.

A cruel fact was faced by these Death Eaters who were forced to join under the Dark Lord's power: the Dark Lord was not dead.

When they looked at the Dark Mark on their arms, they knew at that time that the current Dark Lord was very weak, but not dead yet.

As a result, some divisions arose within the Death Eaters: whether or not to go find their former master.

Led by Lucius' sister-in-law, Bellatrix, they advocated immediately finding their master and helping him make a comeback.

But the remaining Death Eaters were all forced to join, and they were reluctant.

When it was possible to escape the control of the Dark Lord, they seized this opportunity.

They tipped off the Ministry of Magic at the time and asked the Ministry to come forward and almost all of these former colleagues were arrested.

Bella and her group were eventually arrested and imprisoned in Azkaban - the sentence was permanent.

Although Lucius wished that the Ministry of Magic would sentence these people to death and let the Dementors give them a kiss, once and for all, they would deal with these Death Eaters who serve the Dark Lord wholeheartedly.

But most of the imprisoned Death Eaters who were loyal to the Dark Lord were relatives of their pure-blood families, such as Lucius's own wife: Narcissa.

She and Bella were biological sisters.

Before they got married, , they all have the surname Black.

After Narcissa's request and internal discussions within the family, it was decided to spare these people's lives.

Just lock them in Azkaban and prevent them from coming out.

There is no need to be so cruel.

There is no record of a jailbreak in Azkaban anyway.

Having temporarily dealt with these annoying relatives, the remaining former Death Eaters began to turn their attention to another question: How could the Dark Lord not be dead?

What happened that night may not be clear to ordinary wizards, but their families have long investigated what happened: Lily Evans used a blood curse, which rebounded the Dark Lord's death curse, causing the Dark Lord's failure.

But they know very well what it will be like to be hit by the Death Curse.

After all, they are all familiar with the Death Curse.

But the Dark Lord did not die after being hit by his own death curse.

And although his soul is weak, it is still energetic, which is clearly reflected in the Dark Mark.

There are few ways to prevent unnatural deaths, but they are not impossible.

The surviving families began to investigate and read through the ancient books of each family. The final result came out: the most likely thing is that the Dark Lord made the Horcrux, so he did not die completely after being hit by his own death curse. As long as his Horcrux is not destroyed, the Dark Lord will not die completely.

Although these former Death Eaters had a pretty good guess as to why the Dark Lord was not dead. But no one knew where the Dark Lord had hidden his Horcrux, and they had no way of taking action.

But Lucius had a secret hidden deep in his heart that no one told him: the Dark Lord once gave him a diary. He had a terrifying suspicion about the diary: it was the Dark Lord's Horcrux.

But Lucius himself also knew that the Dark Lord actually did not trust them Death Eaters. He only used these pure-blood families as tools. If the Dark Lord really handed over his Horcrux to him, it could only mean one thing. The Dark Lord had made more than just one Horcrux.

Lucius suddenly didn't want to stay here anymore.

He wanted to study the diary carefully.

Make sure whether it is a Horcrux after all.

If not, then just think that you are overthinking and it is a false alarm.

If it was really a Horcrux, how should I deal with it? If the Dark Lord really gives him one of his Horcruxes, it means that Malfoy still has a certain status in the Dark Lord's heart, and the Dark Lord still values the Malfoy family.

But what he did after his failure clearly failed to live up to his respect.

So when the Dark Lord returns, how will he deal with the Malfoy family?

Should he try to find the Dark Lord? Even just for show? Lucius frowned, thinking uneasily.

"Father?"Draco looked at his father who was frowning, not knowing what happened.

Draco's voice woke up Lucius

"Xiaolong, please tell me about your friend. I want to find out."

Perhaps Selwyn's line can help Malfoy tide over the difficulties to a certain extent.

Lucius knew that it was time to take sides again.

Just like eleven years ago, if he had made the same choice as those people , then there will probably be a cell of his own in Azkaban.

Eleven years later, he will face another choice, whether to continue to stand on the opposite side of the Dark Lord, or to abandon his current position and live in the darkest place where the Dark Lord is at his most depressed and desperate.

Help him when he is in trouble, and then Malfoy will get a lot of rewards when he returns.

Lucius is not sure now.

Even if the Dark Lord finally returns, who can guarantee that he will not fail again? But if After the Dark Lord returns, he will liquidate the Death Eaters who can be said to have betrayed him.

Even if he fails in the end, the Malfoy family will be doomed.

After listening to Draco's description of Solim, Lucius decided We must receive these brothers and sisters from the Selwyn family well tomorrow.

If we can get in touch with the Selwyn family through them, then the survival of the Malfoy family will be guaranteed.

Lucius even has an unrealistic, But a bold idea: I hope Draco can get engaged to the upcoming Miss Selwyn.

If it can really happen, then the Dark Lord will never be able to touch the Malfoy family, at least Draco will definitely not be harmed by the Dark Lord. Hurt.

If Draco knew what was going on in his father's mind, he didn't know how he would react.

After learning that Draco's friend would come through the fireplace early the next morning, Lucius immediately I contacted the Department of Transportation of the Ministry of Magic and asked them to set up a dedicated line between the Leaky Cauldron and the fireplace of my home.

Although Malfoy is now down and out, he still has this energy.

As the saying goes, Malfoy is short-handed every year.

To donate a large sum of gold galleons to the Ministry of Magic, such a small matter can be done immediately with just a notification.

When Solim and Silna came to Malfoy Manor through the dedicated line the next day, the man who had just stepped out of the fireplace Sirna said to Solim who came out later:"Didn't you say that the way Floo Network moves is very bad? I feel alright?"

This is the first time Sirna has used a fireplace in her entire life.

"Believe me, I will find an ordinary fireplace later to let you feel what it is like to have the world spin and make you not want to eat all day long."

Solim looked at the luxurious decorations and furniture around him, and he knew that Malfoy Manor had arrived.
