Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 197 Murderous Intent

Although Voldemort was originally very unhappy about this matter, he had no intention of pursuing any investigation or settlement.

The so-called fence-sitters are those who go where the wind blows. He sees through these people too well.

There is a limit to the power of a wizard. Although a powerful wizard can fight against many enemies alone, he cannot be invincible. If a powerful wizard wants to do great things, he must gather a force.

This is true for all organizations, from Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix in modern times to the Order of Merlin in ancient times, as well as the International Confederation of Wizards, the Ministry of Magic, and many other large and small organizations.

Although fence-sitters are hated, they are still a force after all, and a force that should not be underestimated.

If getting rid of them had no impact, then Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic at the time would have purged them all together more than a decade ago.

Just like every time a dynasty changed in the ancient East, no matter how the flag of the king on the mountain changed, the middle and lower classes always remained the same people, and the same is true for modern Britain.

Just like the Muggle Prime Minister in the UK is elected every few years, but the British civil service system remains unchanged.

In the British wizarding world, pure-bloods are the group of people who remain motionless.

Originally, Voldemort believed that as long as he was resurrected and solved the problem of the prophecy, he could rule the world like he did more than ten years ago, so he had no intention of touching these people.

Because these people still belong to his hidden force. Some things only happen zero times and countless times. Since they have stood by his side once, they can stand by him a second time.

loyalty?

He never wanted to gain everyone's loyalty, as long as they obeyed, that was enough for Voldemort.

But things are very different now.

Two aspects.

On the one hand, in terms of the development of magic, Voldemort has not yet found a way to surpass Roger, which means that, not only can he not sit on the throne of the "strongest", he may even fall out of the world's top wizarding echelon in terms of power level.

If things turn out like this, it will be impossible for those fence-sitters to stand on my side again.

They will only stand with the strong or the victor.

On the other hand, Roger provided a new path. After experiencing virtual reality, Voldemort was sure that the upper limit of wizards' power could be broken in this era.

This means that those 'iron pure bloods' are no longer so necessary in the new era.

When the upper limit of power is raised and the strong can do more things, Voldemort no longer needs to compromise in some aspects.

Adding the two together, the current situation is that if these fence-sitters continue to stay, it will only increase the strength of Dumbledore's side and weaken his own side in disguise.

In the past, they could submit to me, or betray me in order to save their lives. So it is not impossible for them to become Dumbledore's dogs for a better tomorrow.

If it was the Dumbledore he knew, he might be wary of these people. Even if he accepted them on the surface, he would not use them.

But now Dumbledore's side is not entirely ruled by Dumbledore alone.

In the past, Dumbledore led the Order of the Phoenix alone, but now, three powerful wizards, Dumbledore, Roger, and Nicolas Flamel, are in charge.

As for the other two, Voldemort definitely didn’t know as much as Dumbledore, who had been entangled with him for decades. He couldn’t figure out which direction the future would take, so…

Of course, even if he wanted to settle accounts, Voldemort couldn't kill them one by one like he did in the past, causing a bloody storm. Now he was the weaker party, and if he dared to do something crazy, he really didn't know how he would die.

The Horcrux can only make him immortal, but it cannot prevent him from being hurt or imprisoned.

Although Voldemort has some backup plans to deal with this kind of situation, there are some things that are best not tested until the very last moment to see if he is reliable.

When the time really comes, God knows what special circumstances will arise, and the soul will be shattered by the reflected Avada Kedavra. This will be enough.

"It's not impossible for you to use this method, but will things really go in the direction you expect?" Tom curled his lips after hearing what Voldemort said.

Voldemort's method is actually very simple and can be described in a few words.

Use some method to aggravate the distrust and contradictions between those rebellious Death Eaters and Dumbledore's faction, and then just sit back and watch the fight between the two tigers.

Anyone who has been a planner knows that the more complex the plan, the more likely it is to go wrong. It is better to keep it simple. Sometimes the simpler the plan, the more effective it may be.

“It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work. It’s just a casual move.” Voldemort just wanted to use everything he could to shorten the gap between himself and his dream as much as possible.

There is an old saying that goes, A blacksmith must be strong himself.

At present, there is a huge conflict between Voldemort and Dumbledore's faction.

But Voldemort's ultimate dream is to rule everything in the long run, which means that his enemies are not only Dumbledore's people, but this group of people is the most threatening to him at the moment.

Voldemort will eventually have to focus his main energy on researching and exploring his own magical path. If he puts all his energy into defeating Dumbledore and others, what if more troublesome wizards appear in other countries?

"Okay, okay, do as you say." Tom Riddle shook his head.

He was born from the diary Horcrux, and in a sense he was a glimpse of time in Voldemort's student days. He did not experience the ups and downs that Voldemort experienced.

So I lack a sense of reality about some things.

Those people betrayed Voldemort, not him, Tom, so he really didn't bother to care about them.

The world in Tom's eyes is a simple world of the strong.

The strong should be respected, and only heroes dare to be the first!

The future of this world lies in possessing great power ourselves.

Those so-called pure-bloods, in Tom's opinion, were just garbage and were not even worthy of being in his sight!

Assuming they really have to appear, perhaps the shattered debris in the background is the only ending they should have!

In a sense, Tom Riddle in his youth seemed less crazy than Voldemort, but in fact, he was much crazier than Voldemort!
Although Voldemort was a bit paranoid because he had been exposed to too much dark magic, he also had more "wisdom" because he had suffered too many setbacks and experienced falling from the peak to the trough. That was something that could only be cultivated after experiencing many storms.

Tom, on the other hand, is much more youthful and ambitious.

The young genius was full of vigor and vitality. If he had a choice, he would not want to be a rat in the underground like Voldemort.

Looking at Voldemort, who had his eyelids drooped and seemed to be plotting something, a dangerous light flashed in Tom's eyes.
