Chapter 168 War and Peace
If Regulus was guilty, let Merlin punish him for being single for the rest of his life, instead of letting him run 800 meters back and forth on a Muggle cruise ship to persuade the two to make up.
And in Regulus' view, this pair of cousins who are now cousins, but who are likely to be husband and wife in the future, how did the "war" break out?
Let our "post-war reporter" Regulus tell it himself.
After the failed plan to assassinate Tom Riddle, Regulus' secret base in Paris became insecure due to Eric's previous spell, and during that bloody speech, Tom Riddle proposed to Enter the UK.
In order to get rid of him, Annie must also follow in Riddle's footsteps.
It was only after the last failure that Anne realized Riddle's strength and vigilance, and Anne was even more aware of the danger of this operation.
There are many ways to go back to England, and the Knight bus is not within the scope of consideration. There are too many wizards on that bus, and it is too easy to reveal their identities.
If you need a way to hide your identity and return home safely... going by sea is a safer choice, and it's even safer on a Muggle cruise ship.
The Muggles are obviously unaware of this crisis, and the rich French Muggles still travel to England on a luxury cruise ship, and take a look at the famous collapsed bridge by the way.
In the muggle dessert shop near the entrance of the cruise ship, Anne, Eric, and Regulus in disguise watched the giant cruise ship quietly floating on the sea.
"I'll cast the Confusion Curse later, so you go in as soon as possible," Regulus said.
Annie nodded, but Eric didn't speak. He was obviously shocked by the thrilling scene last time, and his face was pale until now.
"Do you have to do such a risky thing?" Eric asked, the silver fork in his hand cut the brownies on the plate to pieces.
"I said before that this matter is very dangerous. If you continue to ask, I will treat you as scared. You can go back. I didn't want you to take this risk." Annie was not in a good mood either.
"Don't quarrel! Didn't you be fine these few days?" Regulus smelled the smell of gunpowder. In fact, at home, his father and mother quarreled, and his mother and brother quarreled. What he always did was to persuade them party.
"Who said I was scared? I just think we don't have the strength to die now!" Eric said angrily, "What if you died there that day?"
"That's my business too."
"Then what do you think of me? Someone who goes out to play with you? Anne Panik, can you talk about your conscience? Why do you always try to drive me home?"
"Because you should be at home! That's where you should be, young master! Who told you to come out and fool around with me, a lunatic? If you lose your life, I can't afford it." Annie said these words sadly .
She didn't really want to be so aggressive with Eric, but if the words would get him back... if it would keep him safe... then it wouldn't matter how many times she said it.
"Do you dislike me as a burden?!" After Eric finished speaking, both of them fell silent, and no one wanted to talk to each other.
"The most important thing now is for everyone to unite!" Regulus rubbed his temples with a headache.
Until they got on the boat, the two "never" said a word.
"Regulus, help me tell that heartless guy, let her do what she likes."
"Regulus, help me tell that coward, I didn't intend to take him with me!"
"Regulus, help me tell that woman, she will die without thinking!"
"Regulus, help me tell that man, he will only stay at home!"
"Please..." Regulus supported his head in pain, "Can't you talk to yourself just two meters away?"
"Humph!"
"Humph!"
After speaking, the two separated.
"It really doesn't make me worry." Regulus saw Eric standing on the deck, the sun was setting, and the last rays of light reflected on the sea, and there was a faint salty sea breeze in the air.
"Xiao An didn't mean that. She cared too much about you and didn't want you to take such risks with her, so she deliberately provoked you."
"You didn't see that day, she looked like she was going to die! That guy is so terrifying, he killed so many people in the blink of an eye." Eric sighed.
"I want to drink again."
"Then drink less." Regulus brought him a glass of champagne.
"Reculus, have you ever been so scared?" Eric asked.
The sea breeze blew over Regulus' black hair, brushing his eyelashes and the tip of his nose lightly. He picked up a glass of light yellow champagne and took a swig.
"Of course I did. From the moment I confronted the mysterious man, I was ready to die, but I didn't die. I have been on the run for so many years. Even the matter of Sirius being imprisoned came later. I just found out."
There are too many things hidden in his gray eyes, maybe because everything he has experienced is obscure gray, and after a long time, others can't see his joy and anger.
"But if we don't fight back, if we shrink back out of fear, then we're just ants to be trampled on," Regulus said, "I'm a Slytherin, and I'm doing this not only for others, but for myself Own."
"You say that, I feel ashamed of myself." Eric lowered his head, looking at the water. "I'm timid."
"You are not yet an adult, this is normal. When you understand that your life can be paid for something more worthy, that day you will not be afraid of death." Regulus said.
"Then is she still afraid?"
"You have to ask her yourself." Regulus touched the glass to his.
...............
Annie looked at the small lighthouse in the distance. The sea breeze made her sober. There were many Muggle tourists on the deck, but she couldn't seem to hear their bustling voices.
"What are you thinking about?"
Regulus appeared.
"Nothing, I was just thinking, what I said to Eric today was too much." She sighed, "I know he is not a timid person, but I am really scared..."
"Since he is willing to follow you, he has already prepared for the worst." Regulus said, "He was really pissed off today."
"I know, it's my fault, I'll go and apologize to him."
After speaking, Annie followed Regulus to find Eric. Eric snorted first when he saw Annie. The setting sun set off his golden-brown hair very eye-catchingly.
"How did you come?"
"I'm sorry, what I said today was too much." Anne said, "I'm sorry!"
"You still say I'm sorry...this...you..." Eric stammered for a while, "Forget it...forgive you. It's just that you can't act so recklessly in the future."
"That's good, unite, and Voldemort can't do anything to us." Regulus put his arm on the shoulders of the two of them.
Suddenly, the sky began to darken rapidly, and thick dark clouds swept in with the strong wind.
Annie smelled a sense of crisis.
"Regulus... what did you just say?"
"I said volt..." Before Regulus finished speaking, Annie covered his mouth.
"Can't say that word! It's over, you brought him here!"
"What exactly happened? Why can't you tell?" Regulus was still out of the situation, and there were already a few sporadic black spots in the dark clouds in the sky.
It's Death Eaters.
Their ferocious laughter hovered above the sky, and they used their wands to roll up huge waves and slammed them at the cruise ship. Muggles screamed in horror and fled back to the cabin.
"That man flagged that word! Thought only Harry Potter would say it, now they must think Harry is on this boat!"
"Damn it! They're all in the sky!" Regulus spat, "Let's stabilize the ship first, we can't let these Muggles die for us!"
The three people used magic power to form a huge barrier on the outside of the cruise ship, and the sea water was still pouring in, attacking again and again.
"Attention all passengers! We are in a shipwreck! Please hide in the cabin! Repeat, please hide in the cabin!" The alarm on the deck began to sound.
"Catch Potter!" shouted a Death Eater in the headspace.
"Wait! There's no Potter up there!" Another Death Eater on a broom stopped in front of the crowd. "The Dark Lord only wants Potter to be caught."
"Nott! Don't meddle in your own business! Since you dare to call the Dark Lord directly, you are also against us... Wait... Is Sirius Black standing on the deck?"
Everyone looked at Regulus.
"No...not him..."
"Reculus Black," Ashina Eglint said.
"It's the traitor! Isn't he dead?" Rodolphus Lestrange pointed his wand at Regulus. "I didn't expect him to escape for so many years..."
"Kill him!" The voice in the ranks of Death Eaters became louder and louder.
"It's pointless for us to waste time catching these people now. The only thing the Dark Lord cares about is Potter." Theodore persuaded a group of Death Eaters by himself.
"Nott, you are pleading for another person." Ashina pointed out mercilessly. She saw that Lillian Usain's face did not change, and she really was an engaged couple with no feelings.
"Usain, what do you think?" Ashina asked.
"I don't know . . . but maybe we shouldn't waste time," said Usain, who was actually well aware that there was an Annie Panik on deck.
However, those eyes were so similar to that person that she was afraid.
"I put the interests of the Dark Lord first." Theodore endured the pressure, and his heart was on the people on the deck. "If we've wasted so much time on such a trivial matter, and missed the arrest of Potter...who can afford it?"
They chatted quietly.
"Kill Regulus Black anytime..."
"But damn him... cheated the Dark Lord just like his brother..."
There might be a fierce battle ahead, and just as Anne thought so, the Death Eaters actually retreated.
This is really unbelievable.
The three of them stayed up all night, preventing the Death Eaters from attacking again, until they reached the British Customs.
"I've been exposed, and they all know that I'm not dead." Regulus said, "Maybe they may target me next, and you will be more dangerous with me."
"Reculus! Are you going to separate from us?" Eric asked him.
"I've always been alone, and I'm used to it." Regulus said, put on a hat, and disappeared like a magician.
"Regulus?!"
Anne and Eric reached out to grab him, but he was gone.
