As soon as Maca stepped into the study, she immediately noticed the two phantoms like black flames in Voldemort's eyes.

Although it was not mentioned in detail in the "Book of Sin", this obvious inhuman feature is probably inseparable from the influence of the Bewitching Monument.

Under the silent gaze of the crowd, Maca calmly walked to the end of the table and sat down, facing Voldemort at the head.

"Good evening, everyone." He even smiled at the others.

Just when the atmosphere became more and more solemn, Voldemort's cold gaze came straight to Maca.

"Don't you have anything to say?"

Voldemort's voice was still slightly hoarse, and the pitch was much lower than before.

It can be seen that he is very unhappy now, like a poisonous snake ready to go, it may choose to bite someone at any time, injecting the venom from its fangs into the opponent's body without restraint.

But Maca still had a smile on his face, as if he didn't care about Voldemort's aggressive aura at all.

"You mean the tentative plan for the second project?" He shook his head slightly and said, "No plan is perfect. When the situation changed, I stopped Barty Jr.'s rebellion. I think you should thank I was right."

"Rebellion?" Voldemort asked without changing his face, staring at Maca, "Barty Crouch Jr.?"

"Why do you think he survived this year?" Maca chuckled, "In Azkaban, he should have died a long time ago, but the fact is that he is still alive..."

"...I think you already understand what's going on, don't you?"

Voldemort narrowed his eyes, and the throbbing black flames in his pupils became more intense, showing that his inner activities were intensifying.

"Is he a traitor?" Voldemort said in a deep voice, "Dumbledore's man?"

Maca didn't answer Voldemort's rhetorical question, but stretched out his hands on his waist, and then slid a letter along the long table to Voldemort's front.

"Before he died, he thought that I didn't belong to either of you and Dumbledore—" he said, "this is a suicide note he wrote to his father, and he entrusted me to deliver it to his father, You can have a look."

However, Voldemort didn't open the envelope immediately, but stretched out his hand to press it, and his upper body leaned forward slightly. An inexplicable sense of oppression made all the Death Eaters shiver.

"Suicide note? Evidence?" Voldemort said coldly, "Do you think I will believe you with just a few lines of paper?"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but snorted coldly, and continued: "Do I need to tell you, how little Barty..."

"Bertha Jorkins, that stupid woman from the Department of Sports and Sports of the Ministry of Magic, am I right?" Maca chuckled and said first, "Yes, you broke that powerful forgetting spell and got a little The news that Batty was controlled by his father with the Imperius Curse at home... Well, of course, there is also the Trifinals..."

"But," he changed his voice, "a piece of information that is easily delivered to your door, do you think it is more valuable than these few pieces of paper from me? I don't think it's much different..."

Bertha Jorkins, who suddenly lost contact while on vacation in Albania, has been in the Ministry of Magic for a while!

At that time, Maca only remembered that there was such a thing after hearing about it.

On the opposite side, Voldemort's eyes were still cold.

He didn't say anything else, but opened the envelope first, took out two thin sheets of letter paper, and spread them on the clean table.

In Voldemort's reading recognition, time passed bit by bit, and the wall clock on the wall was ticking regularly, making the silence even more breathless.

In fact, there is not much reliable information to capture in the suicide note, and most of it is his confession to his father.

But there was one sentence that caught Voldemort's attention:

"...Father, you must be wary of Dumbledore."

For a few minutes, most people feel like a year.

after all,

That tentative attack on Hogwarts Castle ended in nothing. Even though the main fault should be attributed to Maca, such a group of people couldn't even touch the gate of Hogwarts, and everyone had to be punished together.

Finally, Voldemort finished reading the suicide note, and then he threw the letter aside.

Voldemort in his youth had a handsome appearance and straight features. Even though the black flames were looming in his pupils now, it gave him an even more evil look.

At this moment, the young Dark Lord frowned slightly, with a hint of understanding on his face.

"...Beware of Dumbledore." He chewed this sentence lightly, feeling more and more the sense of reality that this letter brought to him.

For a person like Tom Riddle, he can understand the so-called "good and evil", but "fraternity" like Dumbledore is an existence that he cannot understand at all.

So, what is the significance of Dumbledore's various behaviors in his opinion?

There is no doubt that it is "hypocrisy"!

Maca's so-called "suicide note" was just talking nonsense throughout, and only the sentence that Voldemort noticed was what he really wanted to show Voldemort.

But it was such a specious statement, but it just confirmed Voldemort's speculation about Dumbledore.

"Huh, what a rebellion, it seems that old Barty has some value..." Voldemort said in a serious tone, "So, at that time, Barty Jr. planned to obstruct your internal response?"

Maca shook his head and said: "He was indeed instigated by Dumbledore and planned to obstruct me, but I found out... But in the game, I was caught by Dumbledore's backhand and was trapped in the Deep in the maze."

Even the audience doesn't know exactly what happened in the maze, and now he can make up whatever he wants.

Voldemort closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, but just when everyone thought the matter was almost settled, he suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed his wand, and a green light shot towards Maca.

How powerful the deterrent effect of the Killing Curse was, it was fully revealed at this moment on the miserable green faces of all the Death Eaters.

This green beam of magic light was too fast, and the distance between the two ends of the long table was not too far. Before the others even had time to think, the beam of light had already cut through the air and came in front of Maca.

But Maca seemed to have been waiting for this lightning-fast blow.

I saw that his wand was already in his hand, and at this moment he suddenly raised his hand back, and a faintly visible rule rune flashed quietly on the tip of the wand.

Immediately afterwards, everyone present felt a chill that went deep into the bone marrow very intuitively.

Frost, snow-white frost!

The ice crystal frost formed by the condensation of water vapor in the air, with the tip of the Maca wand as the center point, quickly spread to the long table, the ground, the bookshelf, the sofa, and even the roof...

In the blink of an eye, half of the study where Maca was located was completely covered by a fine layer of frost.

And the green light pillar of the Killing Curse, which was the key object, was quickly frozen above the long table at this moment, and the crystal icicle spread rapidly towards Voldemort in an instant.

Voldemort's reaction was quick, and he flicked his wand hastily, stopping the Killing Curse. Sections of the green icicle fell onto the long table and shattered into pieces of ice.

Compared with the forced mobilization of the rule runes by the Phoenician rune, this time the application method really makes the rule runes representing cooling play its due effect.

The rule that even the flow of magic power can be cooled and frozen is undoubtedly extremely powerful. Correspondingly, when using regular runes, Maca's magic power consumption is really not ordinary.

Just the mana he consumed in this way is enough to use up three or five killing spells.

Although there is still more deterrence than use value at present, it is time for him to think about how to increase his magic power reserve.

But there is no doubt that this moment of him definitely made everyone, including Voldemort, feel great pressure.

What level of power is this that can almost cover most of the study room with a layer of snow-white frost in an instant?

The Death Eaters couldn't help looking up, and the one who was close to Maca even reached out to pat the frost and snow on his body, the shock and fear in his eyes were beyond words.

But Voldemort didn't say a word at this time, he just stared at Maca's eyes, as if trying to see something from them.

But Maca still had a smile on his face, and sat calmly on the chair while Voldemort looked at him.

"What kind of power is this...?"

From Voldemort's hoarse voice, Maca could hear the deep hidden desire.

"Before I answer your question, I think it's necessary for me to ask you a question—" he said with a smile, "Dark Lord, is the way you greet people in your hometown, using the Avada Kedavra curse on guests?"

Maca actually knew very well that the reason why Voldemort suddenly exploded was simply to test it out.

If he didn't catch it, he was dead, and Voldemort wouldn't care much; but if he barely caught it, or avoided it, it would be a very good showdown.

But Voldemort never expected that Maca could easily defeat him, and the momentum was not ordinary.

This... is a bit embarrassing.

However, Voldemort, who had the Bewitching Monument as his hole card, didn't think he would really be unable to resist. But at least, in his eyes, Maca already has the strength to talk to him on an equal footing.

In this regard, even if Voldemort didn't want to admit it, subconsciously he was still a little more cautious than before.

"No..." Voldemort said with a rare smile, "I just want to confirm whether you have the strength to be my ally."

Maca nodded, and put the wand aside.

"Since this is the case, we should also talk about... about the specific content of the last item of the Triwizard Tournament..."
