At that moment, Draco, upon hearing that Basil was coming to the dormitory, released his control over Riddle's body.
He pulled Hermione and walked out of the castle.
Then, Riddle went directly to speak with Narcissa Malfoy.
"Everything? I feel like this is a lie."
Knowing the original plot, Riddle naturally wouldn't doubt that Narcissa Malfoy's love for her son was fake.
If it had been him who came to the Malfoy Manor before.
Unlike Voldemort, he wouldn't go overboard by planting a curse on her; he could simply use Quirrell's position Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher to threaten Draco's life.
Not to mention, Lucius Malfoy is also in his hands.
However, the reason why Narcissa's words sounded like a lie was because the master had the ability to detect lies due to the [Truth-Teller]'s ability to do so.
It was because she found a sense of security in Dumbledore.
She is not worried that her son's life will be threatened, as long as Dumbledore is there.
Therefore, this 'everything' is tainted with lies.
But it's easy to break a sense of security.
"Draco, you're all Mom has left."
"This is your uncle Sirius."
"I'm taking Lucius home. Aren't you coming with me, Draco?"
Three simple sentences completely shattered the heart of this woman who, though crawling on the ground, still harbored a sliver of hope.
What's wrong?
As a member of Pure-blood families, she naturally possessed the Legilimency.
His skills are also quite impressive.
Even her master could not uncover the secrets of her heart without her knowledge.
These three sentences were spoken by her to Draco when Dumbledore.
This only proves one thing.
The master was able to hide it from Dumbledore and listen in from the side.
That which took Draco's life, also—
What do you need me to do?
At that moment, she completely submitted, submitted to the person in front of her.
Riddle smiled. "It's not that I need you to do anything, but that my master needs to."
Narcissa's pupils trembled.
"You should be grateful that heaven has given you beauty and the status of a widow. My master likes it very much."
——
"Lies, all lies!"
Hermione was puzzled as to why Basil, who was walking with her by the lake, suddenly seemed to have been hit where it hurt.
The last sentence was about how pitiful Young Malfoy was.
The next sentence, however, completely defies normal linguistic logic, sounding like the ramblings of a dream.
So she asked directly, "Basil, what are you saying?"
Basil did not answer.
Having been in a state of "ignition" for a long time, his dragon nature had surpassed his human nature.
Seeing the delighted look on Mrs. Malfoy after learning of his lechery, a captivating smile bloomed on her cold and beautiful face.
"Drive the big truck! Drive the big truck! Drive the big truck!"
These three words kept welling up from the bottom of my heart, accompanied by some vivid images of a rooster leaping into the air.
Between breaths, faint flames could be seen moving in and out of the mouth and nose.
Just as the string of reason was about to snap, the last shred of reason summoned the [Wand Bar].
[Ding! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! The wand wood is incompatible; it's not obsidian, an unconventional wand. Consume 3000 gems to materialize?]
"Yes."
[12-inch obsidian, Source of Negative Emotions, a miracle]
The cold obsidian serves as the handle, embedding the Source of Negative Emotions.
The shadow in my heart, bound by the staff handle, extends further.
You will always have the absolute courage to remain calm.
Your spell will possess a devastating power, plunging people into despair!
[Negative psychological damage +50%]
[Dark Magic damage reduced by 50%]
[Transfiguration power +10%]
A finely carved strip of obsidian appeared in Basil's hand.
The restless desires of youthful bodies, the confusion about whether to go to another world, and the weariness during the learning process.
In every corner of the heart untouched by the sun, the lurking shadows are absorbed and bound by this cold stone.
Rub!
Just like a lightsaber being activated, the shadows turned into light, the staff appeared, and a complete magic wand was born.
Shadow of Obsidian
A cold, yet inextinguishable flame of courage 'magic' began to flow through Basil's body.
The Golden Eyes that would never go out have been extinguished.
His deep blue eyes reappeared.
In Hermione's eyes.
Just now, on the Black Lake, Basil was scorching hot, like the rising sun.
It suddenly turned into a cold sun.
It's like a blizzard with the sun shining brightly in the sky.
It brought warmth to my cold cheeks, and seemed to dispel all the chill in my heart.
It also brought courage.
She no longer cared about anything, nor did she pay attention to the increasingly crowded lawn and the stares of the people around her as Basil went for a walk.
He pressed his whole body against it.
"What are you doing?" In his sage mode, Basil had no expectations of getting close and simply dodged away.
"Ouch!" Hermione fell on her bottom. "It's nothing."
But the next second, Basil realized something was wrong.
After comforting Hermione for a few moments, a terrible thought flashed through his mind.
"Holy crap! Am I going to become impotent?!"
He quickly checked the information that had appeared in his mind after the Shadow of Obsidian.
Because of its special material, the [Shadow of Obsidian] wand is a manifestation of the darkness in its owner's heart, so it cannot be classified as a [Wand Appearance].
It was directly materialized, so it cost an extra 1000 gems.
It exists constantly.
That means Basil now possesses two wands.
The reason for the reduction in damage from Dark Magic is that using Dark Magic, whether it's a mild curse, a moderate poison curse, or a severe curse, requires negative emotions.
The Shadow of Obsidian, with its core made from something as ethereal as the source of negative emotions, naturally provides its master with defense against Dark Magic.
Similarly, a new talent has been added to his family traits list—[Inspiration].
Just as Dementor can absorb happiness and bring fear to people.
His talent for "inspiration" is to absorb the negative emotions of those around him, bring them joy, and mobilize their positive emotions.
It's like having a phoenix by your side, singing non-stop, 24 hours a day.
So, even if he slaps someone, the other person will just smile and greet him?
The absorbed negative emotions don't disappear; they can be fired as bullets or attached to spells, resulting in [Negative Mental Damage +50%].
Negative emotions, or what we call "shadows," are defined in relation to courage and reason.
The core function of Shadow of Obsidian is to keep its owner rational and courageous.
Therefore, it affects their emotions, and they are both judged as "shadows," bound by the obsidian staff handle.
Because of the physical body during puberty, the Dragon Blood brings the same dragon nature.
It affected reason.
However, as long as it doesn't affect rationality, it's not a "shadow".
The state I was in just now, which resembled a state of enlightenment, was merely a side effect of the manifestation of [Shadow of Obsidian].
It will be restored later.
So, the [Killing Intent] talent, and the [Killing Intent] contained within it, won't affect him even if he uninstalls [Sorcery Doctor]?
Basil considered this possibility.
