On the Feasibility of Dueling with the System

Glancing indifferently at the Death Eaters with their heads hanging down, Qin Zhan finally settled his eyes on Snape who was also expressionless, and said indifferently, "Okay, Severus stays, and the others dismiss the meeting." .”

The Death Eaters breathed a sigh of relief, and after saluting, they walked out of the study one after another. Lucius glanced at Snape. It was almost 12 o'clock in the evening. If they stayed at this time, the Dark Lord could do whatever he wanted. One can imagine.

Speaking of this matter, Lucius also found it incredible. Since he joined the Death Eaters, I don't know how many men and women have slept in the Dark Lord's bed, but he has never seen him maintain his interest in a person for such a long time.

Thinking of Snape's obsession with that mudblood's marriage before, Lucius couldn't help but frown. It's really ridiculous that the Dark Lord would also look at a half-breed who wants money, money, and beauty.Although he didn't deny Snape's excellence, he couldn't agree with him about his feelings.

Deliberately bumping his friend with his elbow, Lucius said in a low voice, "Be cautious in your words and deeds."

Snape nodded unobtrusively, and followed the Dark Lord into the bedroom through a secret door under the motion of the Dark Lord.

What followed was the usual set of routines. After washing, tidying up, and changing into clean cotton pajamas, Snape lay stiffly with the Dark Lord.

Strangely enough, Voldemort just wrapped his arms around his waist and did nothing.

Snape was puzzled, so he listened to Voldemort and said, "I heard that Lily Evans is married?"

Snape froze for a moment, and replied thoughtfully, "Yes, master, she... married James Potter." It was extremely difficult for him to say the last few words, Qin Zhan looked down at him, as if Casually said, "Evans is married, are you sad?"

Snape naturally sensed what was wrong in his words, and quickly restrained his emotions, "No, Master." He replied, "I'm just curious that a Gryffindor idiot with straws in his head like James Potter can One day we will get married."

Qin Zhan was amused, and Snape could feel the vibration in the man's chest, so he couldn't help but relax a little.

But thinking of Lily, it is inevitable to feel sad.After that, Lucius persuaded him to let go of Lily and focus on following the Dark Lord. Judging from his current favor, he definitely has a bright future.

"Master likes you very much, Severus." Lucius narrowed his silver-gray eyes slightly, playing with the snake head stick, "He sent people to find evening primroses for you, scolded Bella for you, and even cut out Cruciatus. The punishment of bones...you are also the one who suffers the least."

"But you have to remember, Severus, the favor of the Dark Lord can make you, or it can destroy you, it depends on how you choose."

Snape was a little lost in thought, and suddenly, his forehead touched something soft.

"It's very late, go to bed early, and think about potion research until tomorrow."

"Yes, Lord."

"Good night, Severus."

"...good night, Lord."

I don't know from which day, the Dark Lord began to be patient and gentle towards him, as if... he really liked him.

It's not like Lucius didn't see what Lucius said. The Dark Lord's love for him is almost known to everyone. Bella almost didn't duel with him because of this, but was dragged away by Rodolphus in the end of.

The Dark Lord's mood seems to have stabilized a lot recently, he no longer gets angry for no reason, his attitude towards his subordinates has also eased, and he is... more careful with him.

In defense of him at the meeting, he didn't speak out directly, but changed the subject calmly; he didn't make some inappropriate actions in front of others, and he was more focused on looking at him, with sparkles in his red eyes ;whatever was missing in his laboratory, the Dark Lord would always know the first thing and have the house-elf send it to...

As a representative of Slytherin, the Dark Lord never expresses his feelings directly, but cares in his own way bit by bit.This is very different from Lily, Lily is a fiery Gryffindor, love is love and hate is very, for them, there is no so-called gray area.They insist on the justice in their hearts, only want to make friends with like-minded people, and sneer at those who have different ideas from them.

Snape had once thought he was different, but it turned out that he was just like any other Slytherin in Lily's eyes - a born bad guy, a wicked Dark wizard, cunning and unscrupulous.

"You said she was your friend, but Severus, what does Evans know about you?" Lucius once asked him.

True, Lily didn't know him at all.Apart from academic issues, they don't have much in common.Lily doesn't understand the difficulty of his life in Slytherin, he doesn't understand his pursuit, he doesn't understand the reason why he is obsessed with power... Lily doesn't understand anything, she just brings sunshine to him and makes him feel warm, but Suddenly Wang pulled away and left, no matter he was shivering in the cold darkness.

Then... and later, it was this man who gave him the torch and led him through the darkness all the way to the front.

Snape raised his head slightly, and the Dark Lord's peaceful sleeping face came into view, those gorgeous red eyes were closed, the sharp edges and corners were covered by the darkness, adding a bit of softness to Voldemort.

If... Snape moved his fingertips, the Dark Lord was off guard and he could touch his chest with ease.Let alone a curse, as long as a knife is stabbed in the heart, Voldemort will die.

The Dark Lord would not ignore this, but despite this, he was still defenseless against Snape, just sleeping in front of him without even a protective spell around him.

Facing such a Voldemort, facing the handsome and powerful wizard he once admired the most, even if the Dark Lord ignored his wishes and forced him to do something he didn't want to do.But how could Snape... lay his hands on him and hurt him.

And... the current situation seems to be good?

Snape closed his eyes wearily, and after a long day, the potions master fell into a deep sleep.

Only then did Qin Zhan open his eyes, his rabbit-like red eyes were full of sarcasm.

Greed has always been the greatest weakness of human beings, grasping the straw and not wanting to let it go.It's like suddenly having a safe haven after a cold storm, even if this place is not what he originally wanted, but in the face of a warm fire and sweet food, who can say no to it?Slowly dragging and grinding, in the end, only the edges and corners of myself will be smoothed. I am used to this kind of comfort, and I never want to withdraw.

So... the delicate tenderness and meticulousness shown by a cruel person, the warmth that permeates silently from everywhere, is especially deadly to Slytherin who has been immersed in the cold quagmire for many years.

--------------

Everything was functioning normally, and apart from Bella's occasional pinch with Snape - or her one-sided jerk - everything else was fine.but……

"Fenrir." Qin Zhan frowned, calling to stop the tall and strong man.

Fenrir immediately turned around, bowed down respectfully, "What is the master's order?"

"Shave off your beard, cut your hair, and change into decent clothes." Qin Zhan said, he couldn't stand this ferocious face that was no different from a wild wolf.

Ignoring everyone who was suppressing their surprised expressions, Qin Zhan continued, "Lucius, you can handle this matter."

The corner of the platinum noble's mouth twitched and he could only agree, "Yes, master." Then he led the werewolf out of the study.

Fenrir grinned confusedly for a long time, "Hey, I'm a wolf, what else do I need to take care of?"

"Of course the Lord knows that you are a wolf." Lucius said blankly, "It's just that wolves have different bloodlines, high and low, and the master just doesn't want you to be an obstacle to the view and dirty his eyes and affect his mood."

Fenrir: "..."

After Qin Zhan returned to the bedroom, Nagini swam up eagerly. Voldy didn't talk to her these days, which made her very lonely.

Qin Zhan was idle and bored, and was also happy to tease the little girl.There are Death Eaters working outside, and he, the Dark Lord, can be said to be the most idle. Anyway, this so-called grand cause will be ruined sooner or later—if the system wants him to change the situation, he should have given the task long ago, no will drag until now.So he didn't make much change. He did what Voldemort originally planned, but he no longer allowed Death Eaters to torture Muggles.

Jia Mo went to his feet and knelt down, and the big silver snake was squeezed aside, [Azhan, it seems that the soul stabilizer made by Snape is still useful, and your condition has improved a lot. 】

Qin Zhan twirled his magic wand like a pen, and answered casually.This world is different from the other world structures where he originally carried out the mission. It has its own orbit and development history. When Qin Zhan came here, he was not so much possessed as Voldemort, but his consciousness changed.So his soul is still badly damaged, and only his emotions can be freely controlled.

It seems unbelievable, especially in the omnipotent magic world, but the system is a higher existence than this HP world, and no one can stop that guy from doing what he wants to do.

【Azhan, it's time to go to Malfoy Manor. Voldemort used to go to this point to chat with the old Malfoy's portrait. 】

【knew. 】Qin Zhan said helplessly, why is Voldemort so troublesome, 【I'll go there at night. 】

He didn't go there until after dinner time. Malfoy Manor had no restrictions on the Dark Lord, so Qin Zhan apparated directly to the hall of Malfoy's house.

There was no one in the brightly lit golden hall, only a row of portraits hung on the walls. Seeing him appearing here without warning, they all panicked and urged each other to notify Lucius.

Qin Zhan looked at this place with his hands behind his back, and sighed, he is indeed a capitalist. Look at this manor, it is as golden as a palace.

After a while, Lucius hurried down the stairs with the snake-headed staff, "Master." He knelt down in front of Voldemort, his long platinum-blond hair hanging down his shoulders, "Sorry for the neglect—"

"It doesn't matter." Qin Zhan said, holding his arm and pulling him up, "I'm just here to see."

Lucius was wondering if he did something wrong again, or if Voldemort turned on the tenderness mode intermittently, so he asked, "Lucius, where is the portrait of Abramovich?"

"The portrait of my father is in the study, please come with me, master." Lucius replied with his head bowed.While leading the way, he was thinking about the question just now. It didn't seem right to say that it was intermittent. After all, as far as he saw, Voldemort was always in full tenderness mode when facing Snape.

Although that attitude could be considered gentle at best, it was rare for the Dark Lord.

Qin Zhan and Lucius walked all the way to the study room, and the portrait of Abraxas was on the right wall. The man also had platinum-blond long hair, and his delicate face was incomparably handsome.

"Tom." Abu looked at him indifferently, his silver-gray eyes were calm.Qin Zhan sat down on the sofa on his own. From his memory, the two were indeed on good terms.Don't say anything else, just say this name. Even if Tom Riddle later gained power and the name Voldemort resounded throughout the wizarding world, Abramovich still called him Tom, which never changed.

Seeing that Voldemort didn't respond, Abraxas couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, "Do you mind if I call you that?" Although Voldemort never really stopped him from calling him that way, he would always whine or complain a few words every time.Abu also knew that Voldemort didn't like the name, but—

"Didn't you say so?" Qin Zhan also looked at him, leaning on the sofa relaxedly, the corners of his lips slightly raised, "In this world, there must be someone who reminds me of who I am all the time."

Abu paused, and his expression suddenly became relieved, "Tom..."

"However, by the way." Qin Zhan waved his magic wand, and a funny women's hat suddenly appeared on top of Abu's head in the portrait, "I really hate this name, dear Abu."

Abraxas & Lucius: "..."

The so-called chatting with old Malfoy is just Qin Zhan holding a sip of tea in front of the portrait from time to time, and occasionally saying a few words, which has no technical content. After all, Abraxas is just a portrait now.

Before leaving, Lucius handed over a wedding invitation for the marriage between Malfoy and the Black family, and hoped that the Dark Lord could be a witness.

"I'll be there."

Qin Zhan knew that Lucius wanted to take the opportunity to show his status to others, but since he asked Malfoy for benefits, he should naturally provide corresponding protection.

Without saying anything more, Qin Zhan took the platinum scroll.
