Wizard and Siren

Knockturn Alley.Borgin Bock shop.

The air was damp and sticky, and the drizzle fell on the blackened, mossy floor tiles. A figure pushed open the door of the store.Tom took off the hat of his black cloak, and went straight in.

Borgin Bock, a hunchbacked man with greasy hair, stepped out and handed Tom a cuboid box. "10 Gold Galleons."

Tom paid and didn't leave in a hurry, but walked slowly in the store, browsing the products in the window.Evidently he liked the locket in the velvet box.

Bojin chuckled a few times, his voice still sounding greasy, "Don't believe me, it's Salazar Slytherin's locket. Do you want it? 500 Galleons."

The price was too expensive, Tom thought about it and refused.Bojin didn't care so much, he turned around and continued to work on his own business, but before leaving, Tom heard him mutter, "Come to help in the store later, maybe I can sell it to you at a lower price."

The sky gradually darkened, and Knockturn Alley became more deserted.

Tom opened the box, looked at it, was very satisfied, and stuffed it into a dark black cowhide bag.

It was a dagger that looked very ordinary, but the blade was full of poison.This is a kind of poison specially used to deal with magical creatures. It is about ten times more poisonous than his pet basilisk, but it is not harmful to humans.

Two days ago, he had finished researching Professor Graplan's book and came to a rough conclusion.Eating the flesh of a siren does not give people eternal life. The only thing that can give people immortal power is the heart of a siren.The reason why no one succeeded is that more than 1000 years ago, people had not mastered the technology to completely separate the siren's blood from the heart.With the development of potion cooking technology, more than 1000 years later, wizards have mastered the blood removal method to make medicinal materials more pure.In other words, the reason why immortality is considered nonsense is due to the lack of technology in the past, but now it is due to the lack of materials.

But both were no longer a problem in Tom's eyes.It seemed that eternal life was specially prepared for him.He smiled from the bottom of his heart for the first time because victory was in sight.

Suddenly, he felt a vibration in his left chest, which was a signal from Isabella calling him.

Why at this time?Tom had to hurry to the Black Lake.He didn't want his precious raw material to go awry at a critical moment.

forbidden forest.black lake.

A tall, thin man was standing in the shadows, clutching an onyx necklace tightly in his hand, it was obviously not Isabella.

He smiled strangely, imagining Tom nonstop with some excitement.

How should I teach you, Riddle.

And Isabella quietly hid behind a big rock, not daring to show up rashly, and could only watch all this with a pale face.

With a "poof", Tom Apparated and appeared by the lake.Wand in hand, he called out to Isabella several times vigilantly.However, it was quiet all around, and no one responded.

The ominous feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

He lowered his head, and through the moonlight, he vaguely saw some patterns in the mud by the lake.It appeared to be a pair of shoe prints.

In the next second, he heard the sound of chanting a mantra from behind.

"Passed out!"

Tom turned around very quickly and blocked part of the spell with a wave of his hand, but still fell due to the huge impact.

When he was dizzy, he caught a glimpse of Isa hiding behind the stone in fear and worry, and was about to swim towards him. He quickly made a gesture to stop Isa's movement.The next second, he felt a few heavy punches on his left cheek and stomach.

Before he could react in time, someone grabbed him firmly by the collar.By moonlight, Kolko's face slowly emerges from the shadows.

"Tom Riddle, let's have a good chat!" Kolko dragged him from the water to the shore with a grim expression.

"Okay, okay..." Tom gasped and compromised.

Immediately, he slammed his knee against Korko's stomach, and pulled out his wand extremely quickly. When Korko couldn't respond, he threw a petrification spell, but he rolled and dodged it.

Tom got up and ran off into the woods.Korko got up, fired several attack spells, and immediately chased after him.

Isabella swam to the shore in a hurry, only in time to see two figures disappearing behind the dense trees.
