The man behind Hogwarts

Chapter 137 Allegiance? No, not necessary

Seeing the miserable state of the sheepdog, Crohn couldn't bear it.

He held up the wand without putting it down, and the magic power of the 'Patronus Charm' gushed out along the wand, like a river returning to the sea. All the magic power fell on the sheepdog. After a while, the sheepdog became more real, and the silver light on his body It's also extremely bright.

"Fortunately, it can still be recovered. Fortunately among misfortunes." He breathed a sigh of relief.

"William, I feel like the protection of this ring can last for a long time?" Crohn always felt weird thinking about the round white helmet in his mind.

He described what he had just seen to William without reservation. When he mentioned the white armor, he couldn't help but rub the wooden ring on his ring finger.

"In that case, that black light belt should be the specific manifestation of the 'Cruciatus Curse'. Fortunately, your patron saint is strong enough, otherwise ordinary people's patron saints would not be able to withstand a few of its attacks."

"Yeah, it's too dangerous."

It was really too dangerous. If I couldn't gather the complete patron saint, if I didn't meet William in the library, if he didn't send me that letter...

Crohn suddenly closed his eyes and prayed for a while. He felt that he was able to survive under so many coincidences, all because of the protection of his deceased relatives.

"How long can this ring protect you specifically?... I'm not sure about this question yet. This is also my first time trying it; but according to my estimation, it can definitely last for more than a year." William comforted him.

In my heart, I muttered secretly: "How long can it last? It depends on how long you have left!"

The power of the wooden ring comes from the "Bright Soul" enchantment. As long as the ring is not damaged, as long as William himself does not take back the five-pointed seal, and as long as Crohn is not killed;

Apart from these three methods, the power of the wooden ring will never stop protecting.

"One year..."

Crohn thought for a moment and felt that William might be a bit conservative, but didn't say much, "Every time the black light belt hits the white helmet, it will lose part of its own strength. If it continues, maybe the 'Cruciatus Curse' will dissipate on its own." Yes, I just don’t know if there will be any other accidents.”

Rubbing the wooden ring with his fingers, he glanced at the young man next to him with a mature temperament and a face as deep as a lake, and Crohn gritted his teeth hard.

He suddenly bowed at 60°, held the wand in both hands in front of him, and said in an extremely solemn voice:

"Witness the Supreme Magic, I, Colin Crone, declare my allegiance to you. No matter whether it is a curse or the enemy of the world, my wand will always fight for you. If you disobey, you will be rejected by magic."

The sound is like gold and iron, and every word is sonorous.

William looked at Crohn, who bowed his head in allegiance, with deep eyes, and said without any confusion in his voice, "Professor Crohn, what are you doing?"

"William, you have fulfilled your promise, now it's my turn." He lowered his head and replied: "Since three years ago, the only belief that supported my survival was revenge. Now you have not only saved my life, but also So that I can continue my revenge, from now on, my life is yours, please pick up my wand."

"There's no need for this. We've already agreed before. Why do you have to do this?"

"No, it has to be done!"

William pondered for a moment, and then he suddenly reached out, not to get the wand, but to hold Crohn's shoulders with both hands and help him up with a slight force.

Crohn was resisting with all his strength, but William's hands were as if they were made of steel, carrying unquestionable strength.

Involuntarily, he straightened up and saw William's eyes, which were a pair of eyes that could not be described in words. The moment Crohn looked at those eyes, he seemed to see a pillar connecting heaven and earth.

How firm and majestic,

It seems that even if the sky falls, he can hold it up with both hands...

"Professor, I believe in you, just like you believed in me before." William's face darkened, "Is the promise you made before false? Do you think I can't doubt you?"

"No...I just..." Hearing this, he hurriedly wanted to refute.

"Since you believe me, then do as I say. As long as your previous promise counts, then there is no need to make such a meaningless promise. Besides, we are wizards, how can we talk about 'magic abandonment' so easily? talk."

"But……"

Crohn was still about to speak, but William shook his head slightly, with unquestionable determination in his eyes.

"Okay." Crohn looked at it intently, not knowing what to think.

The wind blew by, and he smiled suddenly and freely, his eyes relaxed a little, he took back his wand, smiled and nodded at William.

……

……

The two returned to the castle and walked side by side on the road, and the atmosphere of getting along seemed very natural.

"Professor, now that you have temporarily solved the crisis, what are your plans next?" William asked gently.

"I plan to ask Dumbledore for a long leave. I have never told him about revenge before, so I can only tell him now." Crohn said with a natural expression, "I have the whereabouts of that enemy, and I will definitely do it within three months." You can come back.”

"There's nothing wrong with asking for leave. The principal shouldn't stop it."

William said solemnly: "But revenge...tell the truth, are you really sure about it?"

He had to think about it.

Since Crohn keeps saying that he can definitely take revenge, then why did he get hit by the Cruciatus Curse before? Even if he was attacked by surprise, this also shows that the strength of the two is probably between them.

If he was not sure of victory, William would have to consider how to help him and recruit capable men who could not die immediately.

"Don't worry William, I am sure of victory."

Crohn whispered: "I hid some details from you before. The reason why I was hit by the Cruciatus Curse was not because I couldn't defeat my enemy, but because I was betrayed by one of my own people. But this time I won't If you are careless again, no matter you are an enemy or a traitor, you will die."

He continued with a bit of shame: "Because we didn't trust each other that much before, and I felt a little embarrassed to be betrayed, so I didn't say anything..."

William nodded suddenly, and then subconsciously wanted to pat him on the shoulder.

Suddenly he remembered that this was not a fraternity, but Hogwarts, and stopped.

"So that's it. Let me just tell you. As such an experienced wizard, how could you be easily attacked? It turns out there is this reason... What is the relationship between the person who betrayed you and you?"

"He is a friend of mine who has been with me for many years. I originally asked him to help me collect information, but I didn't expect that he has secretly become a dark wizard. Fortunately, I am always vigilant, otherwise it would be really dangerous."

Thinking of the friend who betrayed him, Crohn's eyes turned cold.
