Chapter 229 Unbreakable Vow
"No problem, but you need to do something for us first." Taurus pulled out a trace of "happiness" from the crystal ball and let it hover at his fingertips.
"What is it?" Reason was returning to Bellatrix's brain bit by bit. Her brain was like a rusted machine that was lubricated and began to creak and run.
"We want to revive Voldemort." Taurus directly revealed their purpose to Bellatrix.
Bella's breathing suddenly became rapid, and the little reason that returned to her brain flew out again.
Resurrect the Dark Lord! This is simply a beautiful thing that she only dreamed of. Every night in Azkaban, she was supported by this belief. She dreamed of returning to Lord Voldemort and continuing to serve him.
Now someone said that they were going to revive their master? A strange emotion surged in her heart. Bellatrix realized after a moment that this emotion was called "happiness", something she had lost for a long time.
"It seems that you really agree with our idea, so please tell us the whereabouts of Voldemort's Horcrux." Taurus said softly: "There is evidence that he entrusted a Horcrux to you for safekeeping."
Taurus is also a little nervous now, because the Secret Society does not actually have 100% solid evidence. They just inferred based on a lot of intelligence that Voldemort gave the Horcrux to his two most trusted subordinates for safekeeping.
If Bellatrix doesn't know, then they can only try their luck with Lucius Malfoy, and the risk of doing so will be much higher-what if old Malfoy runs to Dumbledore for help?
Although this is a bit funny, it is not impossible. The Malfoy family is such an existence, and they can always find shelter when facing a crisis.
When she heard the word "Horcrux", Bellatrix's reason returned instantly. She put away the joy in her heart and coldly said that she didn't know what they were talking about.
She would not easily reveal the whereabouts of her master's Horcrux. What if these four guys in front of her were here to cheat her? She would hide this secret deep in her soul and never leak it.
Taurus pinched his nose with his fingers: It's normal not to be trusted, fortunately they have already prepared.
Of course it's not a potion like truth serum, but a kind of contract magic.
"It's normal for you to distrust us when we first meet, but we have another solution." Taurus's expression became serious: "I am willing to make an unbreakable oath with you, swearing to be wholehearted and use everything I have to resurrect Voldemort."
When Bellatrix heard the word "unbreakable oath", she opened her mouth in surprise: the unbreakable oath is a magic spell used to form an oath between wizards. If the oath is broken, the person who breaks it will die.
Seeing Taurus say this, Bella believed that he really wanted to resurrect his master.
"Why? I need an explanation. I have never seen you in our gatherings." At this moment, Bella has completely returned to normal, as smart and capable as she was more than a decade ago.
"We need him to deal with Dumbledore, who is a very troublesome and difficult person. We need the help of the Dark Lord." Taurus told the truth. He knew how to communicate with people and build trust.
"That's right! Only the master can stop Dumbledore, and only the master can do it - you have a good eye!" Taurus' words made Bella very satisfied, and she nodded repeatedly.
She threw out one question after another, trying to find some flaws in the four people in front of her. Facing Bella's doubts, Taurus' main point was sincerity and told the truth.
After a series of questions, Taurus successfully gained Bella's trust.
She agreed to tell Taurus the whereabouts of the Dark Lord's Horcrux on the premise of making an unbreakable oath.
"Very good, we have reached a consensus." Taurus had a relieved smile on his face, and then he ordered Gemini and Aries to stay away from here and not get in the way.
Gemini frowned and wanted to say something, but was dragged away by Aries.
"The outsiders have disappeared, let's start now." Taurus opened the door of Bella's cell easily.
He knelt in front of Bellatrix and held each other's right hands. Pisces walked to the two of them and put his wand on their clasped hands.
Bellatrix's throat moved and she said in a hoarse voice: "Taurus, you can't tell others where the Dark Lord's Horcrux is hidden."
"I agree." Taurus replied.
A thin, scorching tongue of fire spurted out from the tip of Pisces's wand, and it was wrapped around Taurus and Bellatrix's wrists like a hot metal wire.
"Are you willing to do your best to resurrect my master, the great Dark Lord Voldemort?"
"I do."
The second tongue of fire spurted out and entangled with the first one, forming a thin chain flashing red light.
"You are not allowed to destroy or instruct others to destroy the Dark Lord's Horcrux. You must do everything you can to protect it before he makes a comeback, at any cost, even your life. Do you accept this condition?" Bellatrix stared at Taurus' eyes and asked the last question.
"I accept."
The third tongue of fire fell on the hands of the two people, intertwined with the previous two, like a fire snake, reflecting the faces of the three people red.
After the unbreakable oath was reached, Bella also told the two where she hid the master's Horcrux: she kept it in the underground vault of the Lestrange family in Gringotts.
"Gringotts, the safest place in the world, there are countless gold and silver treasures in the vault, enough to hide people's eyes." Bella was very proud of her choice.
Perfect choice! It is safe and can be taken out in time when the owner needs it. There is no more perfect decision than this.
Taurus raised his eyebrows: Gringotts? Legend has it that it is safer than Hogwarts?
He laughed, and Bella also laughed under his influence.
Laughter broke out in Azkaban prison.
"Well, we have to hurry up and act." After a moment, Taurus restrained his smile, indicating that it was time to leave.
"Sorry, we can't take you away from here, the Dementors won't agree."
"It doesn't matter." Bella laughed even more happily: "After the master is resurrected, he will take me out of here - I can only wish you all the best."
Taurus stopped talking, nodded to Bella, shook his right hand, and left with his companions.
