Luckily the main story is at Hogwarts

Lucius sneered in his heart.

He knew Notus wouldn't cooperate.

Because he is also like this...an eternally noble pureblood, so he knows what Notus thinks. Even though many people died in Godric's Hollow, this alone may not be enough to make them surrender.

Among purebloods, there are always people like this.

"What are you going to do?"

Lucius didn't take Notus' cynicism to heart.

Notus picked up the parchment from the table.

"Go back and tell him that there is a lot of stuff and I need time."

"how long."

"Four years."

Lucius looked at Notus.

The latter showed no fear.

"He won't give you that much time. The matter is urgent, the sooner the better."

"Then three years."

Notus waved his hand.

His attitude made it clear that he was working hard but not contributing, which was not surprising. A number of people died in Godric's Hollow, which showed that Ciel dared to kill people, and even Dumbledore did not stop him.

Unless you have a problem with your head, you will go against Ciel.

But not fighting doesn't mean you have to obey. For example, Notus, he chose to obey in both directions, but his approach was still a bit too much.

In three years, it was almost made clear that this matter would be delayed until Ciel came of age, and it was a generally accepted truth that the Obscurus would not survive to adulthood.

"I'm afraid he won't be happy if you do this."

Lucius pointed to the cavity next to him.

Notus looked at the transparent prototype sphere on the table. He didn't know what it was, but he thought it was the person who stayed with Lucius to monitor him, or asked him to monitor other people's things.

"You've seen it too."

Notus raised the parchment.

"Ordinary materials are fine, but these things..."

"needs time."

"Even if he comes in person, this is what I will say."

He answered very firmly.

But Lucius suddenly showed an expression that was half-smiling, and matched with his aristocratic masked face, there was an unspeakable sarcasm.

"you sure?"

"Of course, three years cannot be any shorter."

"That's not what I asked."

Lucius took out his wand and said slowly.

"It's the latter one."

Notus was startled.

Before he could answer, Lucius waved his wand suddenly, and the cavity on the table instantly flew out and landed on the floor of the hall.

"Since you are so confident."

"Then explain it to him yourself."

The next moment, the cavities that fell into the ground began to collide, just like the abyss of a giant beast. The rich darkness spread quickly and turned into a deep black hole standing out of thin air.

………………

When Ciel walked through the portal and entered the hall, Notus's expression was ugly.

He had never seen such magic, let alone heard of such alchemical items, so when Ciel appeared in front of him, he was at a loss.

This is a portal.

Both Lucius and Notus were aware of this. Even if the former had known about the cavity for a long time, this was the first time he saw it at this moment.

Previously, the two of them had no idea about the existence of portals, and there was no such thing in the Harry Potter world. However, when they saw the cavity unfolding, they understood it without any knowledge.

"Notus Foley, huh?"

Ciel walked out of the portal, followed by Lister and others.

Notus' eyes involuntarily fell behind Ciel. Lilia's headless body was still lying on the ground, blood spreading. Although there was no face, the family crest hanging on the wall still made Notus' expression change slightly.

That's the Prewett family's signature.

Then it is obvious who the body on the ground belongs to.

As Lister and others came with Ciel, the portal shrank again and turned into a transparent sphere again. Ciel took a look at the energy inside...it seemed that it could only be used twice.

The Obscurus has once again entered the annual cool-down period, but it is impossible to intercept magic power. Besides, it is fine for the Obscurus to intercept a small amount of magic power, but a large amount will definitely have an impact on him. This is not a long-term solution.

It seems that we still need to find an energy source.

Throwing the cavity to Lucius, Ciel put aside the problem for the time being, and then looked at Notus and Lucius.

"As close partners who will fight together in the future."

"Did you encounter any problems?"

Ciel asked with a smile.

………………

"It will take some time to collect these things, Mr. Diemer."

Notus shook the parchment.

Lucius, who was pretending to be a dumb man and said nothing, looked at Notus slightly in surprise. This guy really didn't want his life, and he really dared to say it.

"how long."

"At least six months."

"Those simple things, give them to me as soon as possible."

Six months is within the acceptable range of Ciel. In fact, it would be very good to find clues for creatures like the King Krait. This is originally a long-term task.

Lucius secretly curled his lips, he thought Notus was so strong.

Notus took a deep breath calmly.

Ever since Ciel appeared, he had been thinking rapidly.

He dared to work without exerting any effort, so he naturally had something to rely on, and his reliance was that he did not die in Godric's Hollow.

It wasn't that Notus was crazy. He actually saw clearly that the pure-blood wizards who died in Godric's Hollow and the wizard's die-hard former Death Eaters were lunatics with eccentric personalities that were difficult to deal with.

None of the truly neutral, valuable pure-blood wizards died.

They still have value because they are needed.

The old-school purebloods who were able to survive the period of the Dark Lord had more or less winks. Notus's courage to do so was not only because the Obscurus could not survive to adulthood, but the former was the most important reason.

But just when Charles entered his house from Prewett's house through magic, this feeling of being invaded suddenly made Notus wake up.

Indeed, Ciel needs them, which can be seen from his unabashed appointment of Lucius and him.

But there's a difference between needing them and needing him. Ciel doesn't need everyone.

The bodies of the Prewett family were still lying on the floor. Notus could smell the strong smell of blood in them, so he decisively changed his mind and admitted his guilt.

It's true that there are some hard-headed purebloods, but they are all in Azkaban, definitely not those who remained neutral back then.

Ciel looked at Notus with a half-smile.

As soon as he stepped into the door of Foley's house, he guessed the whole thing. Indeed, most of the time, Ciel relied on his past strategy experience, but where these experiences came from, that's all he knew. cumulative.

Ciel was equally skilled in handling these matters, but he didn't want to waste his energy.

He was also very aware of the mess between Lucius and Notus, the deep sadomasochism, and the absurd cutscenes of old-school wizards. He had seen it many times, and there was even a plot line about returning to his father's era, so when he saw the Foley family, Xia You know what Lucius has in mind.

In fact, he doesn't mind killing chickens to scare monkeys. The Foley family is one of the largest neutral families in existence. In addition to Notus Foley, he also has a wife, an eldest son who runs a shop in Diagon Alley, and a son who has just entered the fourth grade. The daughter of Slytherin House.

Four corpses...enough to make any pureblood take it seriously.

But Notus gave in very decisively, which also prevented Ciel from killing him again. After all, he was not really the Dark Lord.

"Don't worry."

Ciel said with a smile.

"Many magical creatures have become extinct. It would be great to find clues. This will be a long-term task...not just the Foley family, but others as well."

"So don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Six months, I'm satisfied."

"So, why did you call me here?"

Notus suddenly looked at Lucius, with a smile on his face.

Now, it was Lucius's turn to have a problem.
