Hogwarts: I Became the Third Dark Lord

Standing in front of many dark wizards, Wentworth felt the roar of the mountains and the tsunami. For a moment, Wentworth deeply felt that he seemed a little intoxicated.

But at this moment, the wizard who was dressed in rags and had been lying on the ground after Wentworth entered the hall suddenly stood up and ran towards Wentworth.

"This is Carlo, who used to follow your grandfather just like us, and once swore that the Carlo family will always follow Grindelwald. However, his descendants joined the Death Eaters and turned their backs on our witches party!"

Seeing Carlo approaching, Abernathy whispered in Wentworth's ear.

Hearing Abernathy's explanation, Wentworth nodded slowly.

At this moment, Carlo had already arrived in front of Wentworth, and then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Carlo knelt down at Wentworth's feet again. This move even scared Wentworth Si jumped.

But then, Wentworth saw that Carlo stretched out his hands and slowly held up a key.

"The key to the Gringotts vault? You always carry the key to your family's vault with you?"

Seeing Carlo holding up the key to the Gringotts vault with both hands, Abernathy had a look of surprise on his face, and asked in disbelief.

Carlo, on the other hand, didn't raise his head, he still prostrated himself in front of Wentworth, bowed his head and replied:

"That's right, this is the key to the Carlo family's vault in Gringotts. Back then, those two brats attacked me suddenly, and their target was also this key, but they didn't succeed."

Looking at the keys that Carlo held high in both hands, and looking at Carlo's ragged clothes, Abernathy sighed and said:

"You have a heart."

After all, Abernathy set his sights on Wentworth again.

While Wentworth looked at the scene in front of him, although he was a little puzzled, seeing that Carlo was kneeling in front of him at such an age, Wentworth quickly reached out to help Carlo up, and spoke said:

"Get up, get up! What are you doing?!"

But Carlo still knelt down on the ground unmoved, just raised his forehead, looked at Wentworth in front of him, and said solemnly:

"A tribute to you, my master!"

After speaking,

Carlo lowered his forehead again, and held up the Gringotts vault key with both hands, allowing Wentworth to support him in every possible way, but remained unmoved.

"What does he mean by this?"

In desperation, Wentworth had no choice but to ask Rozier and Abernathy on the side.

Hearing Wentworth's inquiry, Rozier slowly explained:

"This is a tradition that has been passed down in ancient wizard families. When a wizard declares his allegiance to another wizard, he will offer his most precious items with both hands. This is a tribute and a surrender."

"If you accept the item in his hand, it means that you accept his allegiance. From then on, his life and glory will be bound to you."

Hearing Rozier's words, Wentworth once again thought of the room full of treasures he saw in the family vault at Gringotts, and nodded inwardly.

At this time, Abernathy added from the sidelines:

"Actually, according to the legend, a long time ago, this was a complete ceremony, combined with a spell. If he breaks his vow in the future, the god of death will come and take away his life and end his bloodline."

"It's just that now, no one knows about that incantation, so this is more of a symbolic meaning."

Hearing this, Wentworth suddenly asked curiously:

"Then what if I don't accept that?"

Abernathy obviously didn't expect Wentworth to make such a sentence, and was momentarily at a loss for words, while Rozier on the other side replied with a smile:

"You can try it!"

Therefore, Wentworth said sincerely to Carlo who was prostrate on the ground:

"Actually, you don't have to do this. Your presence here has already proved your loyalty."

Carlo was unmoved and had already maintained that posture.

"This key represents the ancestors of the Carlo family, who have accumulated wealth for countless years. It's not appropriate to just leave it to me, right?"

"I order you, stand up!"

…………

Afterwards, even though Wentworth exhausted all kinds of methods, Carlo remained unmoved and knelt in front of Wentworth, holding up the Gringotts key with both hands.

Seeing this scene, after a while, after Wentworth had no choice but to do anything, Rozier came out and said:

"It seems that if you don't accept his tribute, he won't get up."

Hearing Rozier's words, Wentworth also smiled helplessly, and afterward, Wentworth no longer hesitated, only to see that Wentworth stretched out his right hand unpretentiously, and grabbed Carlo's hand. The key in his hand was grasped in his hand, and he said:

"Okay, I accept it!"

It wasn't until Wentworth put the key back into his arms that Carlo slowly got up from the ground, with a relieved smile on his face covered with stubble.

Just when Wentworth was about to say something, an unexpected scene happened.

I don't know where to start, many wizards on the scene, with serious expressions, came up one by one, holding various items in their hands, I saw them walking slowly in front of Wentworth, slowly Slowly said:

"A tribute to you, my master!"

Afterwards, they lightly placed the items in their hands neatly in front of Wentworth, and after they put down the items, they left from another direction, making room for the wizard behind him. the way.

In fact, except for Carlo's Gringotts key, which represents the wealth accumulated by the Carlo family for hundreds of years, other items are not very valuable.

However, that doesn't mean they're not precious enough.

During the whole process, no one stepped forward to direct, but all the wizard's movements and actions were swift and orderly, as if they had been rehearsed. In the silent hall, only the sound of people's footsteps, and the sound of "paying tribute to you, my master" can be heard!

Wentworth looked at the objects gradually piled up in front of him. In a daze, he seemed to see that there was once such a wizard, and countless wizards swore to surrender in front of him. Afterwards, these wizards followed in his footsteps, saying Shouting slogans loudly, walking towards the unknown front.

This move of the wizards of the Witchcraft Party lasted for a long time, until the last wizard put the item in his hand in front of Wentworth, and Wentworth still hadn't recovered.

Looking at the wizards standing in front of him again, Wentworth was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly:

"Merry Christmas……"
