stray in HP

That day, Riddle came back in a daze, and Li Zixu looked at the night, wrapped in a black cloak, staggeringly disappeared into a secret passage, sighed softly, drew the curtains, and left the window.

The next day, when Li Zixu saw him again, he was still the gentle and personable head of the grade as usual, but Li Zixu could see the shadow hidden deep in his eyes, as well as the shadows surrounding him. If there is no killing intent.He knew that the little desire and longing for family affection in this boy's heart had completely disappeared.

"Professor!" Riddle came to Li Zixu's office again.

Li Zixu looked at him quietly, his body was straight, and he looked stubborn and aloof, not at all like the gentle child that everyone praised.

"What would you like to drink?" Li Zixu asked, "Tea, or coffee?"

"A cup of coffee, thank you!" Riddle said somewhat cautiously.

A beautiful doll immediately came over with a tray. On the tray was a cup of steaming coffee and a plate of neatly stacked sugar cubes, which were placed in front of Riddle.Riddle didn't add sugar, so he held black coffee and drank it slowly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Zixu was not in a hurry, he held a blue and white teacup from Yuan Dynasty, scraped the tea foam with the cup lid, the faint tea fragrance escaped, Li Zixu narrowed his eyes.

"Professor, I want strength!" A cup of coffee quickly drained, and Riddle squeezed the bone china coffee cup tightly, whispering.

Li Zixu didn't speak, just continued to listen to what Riddle was saying.At the foot of the office, smoke is rising from an exquisite Boju censer. The spice burning in the censer is called "rosemary", which is specially made by Li Zixu. The fragrance of rosemary is very light. If you can't feel it, it can soothe people's mood, dilute people's negative emotions, and lower people's defenses. For mages, it can make them better maintain a calm mood, which is very important for the success rate of casting spells. help.

Although at Li Zixu's level, this rosemary is not very useful, but it has a huge impact on ordinary people.

Riddle sat there, rubbing his fingers unconsciously on the handle of the coffee cup, and whispered: "In this world, there is nothing worth relying on except power!"

He lowered his eyes slightly, and there seemed to be a storm gathering in his eyes, and he thought of everything he had seen before.

Little Hanger County, which is the hometown of my parents.A young master of the Riddle family, a well-known local squire, and a strange, ordinary-looking daughter of the Gaunt family, ha, those are his parents.A Muggle with nothing but a good appearance, a Squib who has a noble blood but can only make love potions, eloped due to a scam, that's how he appeared.All of Riddle's fantasies were shattered by reality.

His mother abandoned him because of the love cheated by love potion, and his father, even though he knew of his existence, still abandoned his pregnant mother.What he hates is not his identity as a mixed race, and his disgraceful birth. As a parent, shouldn't he love his children?Why, he has nothing, but can only be treated as a monster in that cold and dilapidated orphanage, a devil's child struggling to survive?

There was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looked like Salazar.Li Zixu looked at the appearance of this young man, and felt a little pity in his heart.

Riddle finally raised his head and looked at Li Zixu steadfastly: "No matter what the price is, I only want strength! I can no longer rely on anyone's strength! Professor, are you willing to teach me?"

Li Zixu sighed: "I don't have much to teach you. Strength needs to be obtained by yourself! So, do you still want to learn from me?"

Riddle nodded firmly: "Yes, professor!" Although Riddle didn't know how powerful Li Zixu was, he did know that a man who has lived for nearly a thousand years still has such a coveted treasure as the Philosopher's Stone. The master alchemist who is still able to live a very nourishing life so far, so he must be an extraordinary person.

He thought of being imprisoned in a small dark room by Mrs. Cole of the orphanage when he was young. He had no bread or water, and could only rely on Nagini to find some food for him to barely survive. He clenched his fists , I swear to myself, I swear that I will never put myself in such a powerless situation again.

Li Zixu did not teach Riddle alchemy. Although Riddle was smart, he was not able to calm down and be an academic talent.He didn't teach him any spells either. To be honest, Riddle was not suitable for elemental magic at all. Li Zixu felt that he was more suitable for learning divine spells, of course, the divine spells of the dark god system.

Li Zixu didn't bother to explain any knowledge to him, even if he did, I guess he wouldn't appreciate it, Li Zixu just took Riddle out for a walk occasionally when he was free.
