Harry Potter and the Necromancer

"What's wrong with this kid? Why does he feel weird?"

Lucy Piddle, who was driving, couldn't help but wonder about Sarah's condition. This was obviously an abnormal dream.

"It's okay! There are always various disasters happening on the sea. Shipwrecks from ancient times to the present have produced a huge number of dead people, which also produced a large number of undead souls. They sank on the cold seabed and condensed due to some coincidences. Magic, turning into what is called a ghost.”

Regulus Black caressed Sarah Maidani's burgundy hair lovingly. After falling asleep, the golden-eyed Lolita looked so holy and peaceful, as if she was a little angel in heaven.

"In the Muggle world, squibs like you or Sarah, although they do not have the qualifications of a wizard, have a psychic constitution, which means that you cannot use magic, but you can still feel the magic, so you can see ghosts or Other abnormalities are also normal.”

Regulus Black comforted Sarah seemingly casually, but he was already obsessed with the dream she mentioned.

"The crew and the singer killed the guests on the ship, robbed the gold transported on the ship, and plundered the guests' jewelry. Such behavior should be the style of pirates, and they were pirates who disguised themselves as merchant ships, which affected Sarah's ghost It wasn’t the guests who were killed, it was the pirates who were victorious.”

Regulus Black finally remembered that the continuous dream that Sarah Maidani was talking about was very similar to the plot of a movie he knew.

"BOSS! You said the ghosts are pirates and not passengers?"

Lucy Piddle didn't understand. Shouldn't they be ghosts turned into ghosts by the resentment generated by those passengers who were killed?

"Those celebrating pirates are likely to all die later."

Regulus Black seemed to have figured out the logic behind this, and couldn't help but show such an expression.

"I still don't understand, BOSS! Stop being so pretentious and tell me!"

Lucy Piddle finally figured out that her boss and lover was a man who liked to talk half a sentence.

It would be fine if he was giving instructions, and he would explain things carefully and clearly, but if you ask him for answers like this, it would be his moment to show off.

"We'll be arriving at our accommodation soon. Let's talk about it after we go back to our room."

Regulus Black responded casually, looking at his assistant in the reflector with an expression that would only come if you beg me.

"BOSS! Don't be so torturous, just tell me! I'm begging you."

Lucy Piddle cooperated and made a pleading expression, so that Regulus Black could be satisfied in face.

"That's it, think about it! If all the guests on a ship are killed, then the first people to be resentful will be the passengers who are unwilling to die. And when the pirate crew celebrates collectively, the people on this ship Just a few conditions are met.”

Regulus Black raised a hand and began to wrench his fingers, tucking his thumb into his palm.

"First of all, pirates own a ship. Pirates are a collective. The ship they jointly own meets the conditions of the altar. They make their own decisions on their own territory. Their actions can be forgiven on their own territory. That is to say, they themselves They believe that everything they do is sinless.”

After Regulus Black finished speaking, he put his index finger into his palm.

"Secondly, the conditions that are met are blood sacrifices. The entire ship's passengers can be regarded as sacrifices. Their deaths meet some conditions that require blood sacrifices. The desperate situation of being unable to escape and their identities, those who are rich, noble, and prominent, The higher their status, the higher their quality as sacrifices.”

Regulus Black raised his middle finger, which represented the third condition.

"Then, the condition that is met is the will of chaos. The seemingly unified actions of the pirate crews created a chaotic situation. The sacrifices ran away in all directions. This not only increased the desperate spirit of the sacrifices, but also increased the number of victims. The chaotic desire for survival of the sacrifices. As sacrifices to be slaughtered, of course they should be arranged neatly and ready to be stabbed! This will also produce despair, but there is no desire to survive, or very little, because the sacrifices Knowing that he could not escape, he could only close his eyes and wait for death."

Regulus Black immediately put down his hand. This is not to say that there is nothing more to say, but the last fourth point.

"Finally, there is the small desire of the pirate crew. Their purpose of killing is to occupy the wealth on the ship. Whether it is the gold transported or the jewelry carried by the guests, these are all things that are easily accessible. Their desires are so small that they can even summon ghosts. They don’t come out because reality has satisfied them.”

Regulus Black seemed to be wandering, thinking about something while holding the sleeping golden-eyed Loli in his arms.

"When these conditions are met and a ghost ship is inadvertently created, then as a ghost ship, the passengers on the ship should naturally not be strangers. Therefore, the crew members will directly change under the resentment of the murdered passengers. They become undead. And the souls of the passengers who took revenge can escape from the ghost ship, leaving behind the pirate crew who don’t even know how they died.”

Regulus Black opened his eyes and looked at his assistant Lucy, waiting for a response from the other party.

"It's really... too complicated."

Lucy Piddle originally thought it was just a simple answer, but she didn't expect to get such a detailed answer from Regulus Black.

Now she seems to be listening to the teacher's lecture, and she is completely like a student who doesn't understand and has to answer questions.

"I knew you wouldn't understand. To put it simply, Sarah's dream was caused by receiving the messages left by the ghosts of the pirate crew. As psychics, you can't control yourself from passively receiving these messy messages."

Regulus Black gently stroked Sarah's hair as if petting a cat.

"It's just that Sarah had dreams for several days in a row, which means that the treasures with resentful spirits sank on the route she came from."

Regulus Black said with certainty, and immediately used his skill list to contact the [Four] that was wandering in the Five Lakes area, and asked her to drive the Aquarius submarine along Sarah Maidani's route. The cruise route conducts undersea exploration to find treasure.

"I still don't quite understand why a group of pirates who are not even...squibs actually built a ghost ship by killing the passengers. Such large undead are a very rare type. Even if a wizard wants to create one, it will be very difficult. It’s hard to succeed, right?”

She had just been despised by her boss for her IQ, but Lucy Piddle immediately organized her thoughts and asked in detail.

"The massacre of passengers will generate huge resentment. If this kind of power and resentment is properly channeled, it will become a huge curse force. After the murderers are cursed to death, these resentments that have nowhere to vent will turn to curse the place where they died. , so the ghost ship was born by coincidence.”

Regulus Black suddenly remembered that he sent the Aquarius submarine to find the treasure. This behavior was simply putting the cart before the horse. The biggest treasure was the ghost ship itself!

"Speaking of which, the ghost ship itself is more valuable than the wealth. It seems that the cruise ship when Sarah came was targeted by the ghost ship! Fortunately, they did not attack the ship, otherwise I would definitely dismantle them ”

Opening his palms, Regulus Black formed a whirlpool-shaped magic field in his hands. The natural power of heaven and earth only needs proper guidance, and it can be guided and shaped by a small amount of magic. Whether it is a tornado or an undersea vortex, it is not question.

"BOSS! This ghost ship seems to have been born recently. Judging from Sarah's description, the environment on the ship is very modern."

Lucy Piddle had parked the car and was waiting for Regulus Black to wake Sarah up and get out of the car.

"This is not necessarily true. This may also be due to the problem of phantom projection. The phantoms projected by ancient ghosts, if the magic power is not strong enough, will be distorted by the recipient into an understandable form. In Sarah's case, these phantoms are combined The cruise I took on formed a new fantasy dream.”

Regulus Black gently shook Golden Eyes Loli, waking her from sleep.

"Here we are, dear, this is our location in Hollywood and our Black Star Company headquarters."

Sarah Maidani didn't sleep well during the several-day journey, and she felt as comfortable as sleeping in the car.

Especially with Regulus Black by his side, this was the most solid sleep I had ever had.

Like a cat waking from sleep, Sarah Maidani rubbed her eyes and woke up.
