Gale looked at them in silence, without saying anything.
Even with the facts before him, in his heart he still prefers the current "Eridin" whose authenticity he doesn't know.
He did bring the power to manipulate the white frost and solved the life-and-death issue that had been plaguing the Ain'el elves. As an Ain'el elf, his position made him more inclined to believe this person who brought substantial benefits to the Ain'el elves, rather than believe the words of a group of people who suddenly appeared and were hostile to them.
Snape looked at Harry.
Harry waved his wand and chanted the spell.
The effects of the Polyjuice Potion were washed away.
This is an important reason why this potion is a "controlled item". Its effect is not perfect, and there are many spells that can eliminate the effect of the potion, such as the real waterfall hanging in Gringotts.
Snape lifted it up and threw it aside, revealing his left arm - the thing he hated most after Potter.
A dark pattern appeared in Gale's eyes.
"Maybe you've seen this thing?" Snape said, laughing at himself.
"It is a mark of allegiance to the Dark Lord."
"Having this branded on your body means you become his servant."
Gail's heart sank suddenly.
He had seen this pattern before. It was on the Red Knights' bodies, in the same location, on their left arms.
He fell silent.
Avallac'h struck while the iron was hot and continued, "There is one more thing. Although Eredin is dead now, I think you have the right to know about this."
"Our former king, Oberon, died from Eredin's poison."
Gale's face changed: "Avallac'h, I hope you realize what you are saying."
"I know exactly what I'm talking about." Avallac'h said softly, with a firm tone. "Although I don't have enough evidence to prove this to you right now, at this moment, you should know that I have no need to deceive you."
Gale slowly closed his eyes, thinking.
Integrate what you just heard in your mind and then analyze it.
Snape was a little impatient. He raised his wand and was considering casting the Imperius Curse to solve the problem quickly and efficiently in another way.
"I still can't believe what you said." Gale opened his eyes, "This matter is too ridiculous for Ain El."
Snape stood up, wand pointed at him.
Gail was unhurried and continued, "What do you want to do?"
"If you want me to rebel and become hostile to Eredin, I'm sorry, but you'd better kill me here."
Harry said softly: "The target we want to solve has always been Voldemort, now Eredin."
Gail considered.
After a brief contact, he had some simple understanding of these visitors from another world.
They are powerful and their methods are strange.
This made it hard for him to believe those words, but there was no doubt that one thing had been proven - that was that Caranthir, as the most anticipated golden boy among the Ain and El elves, was sacrificed by Eredin and allowed to be captured. He was indifferent and even concealed the news, and did not think of saving him.
And then there is his understanding of Eredin.
He was not sure whether the current king had been replaced by the man called "Voldemort", but he was inclined to believe what Avallac'h said, that he had poisoned the previous king.
As Avallac'h said, Gale had a fatal flaw.
He possesses a sense of justice that should hardly exist in this position and among the Ain'El elves.
He was shaken.
"First, you have to prove to me that Eredin is no longer Eredin." Gale went on. "If he is not Eredin, I will ensure that when you fight him, almost no soldiers will attack you."
Harry nodded. "That's easy."
Gale spread his hands and said, "Caranthir must be returned to us."
"The method to subdue White Frost also came from your world. I hope to obtain it."
Harry deadpanned, "You seem to be pushing it a little too far."
"We're not negotiating with you."
"It's just for Ciri's sake. Ciri also gave you a chance to not become our enemy because Avallac'h saved her."
Gail touched the table and seemed to want to say something.
Harry interrupted him in advance: "Professor, this may be difficult for you."
Snape raised his wand and chanted the spell: "Soul out of the body."
Gale stiffened.
Under Snape's manipulation, he walked around the room with a brisk pace, then gave an impassioned speech, and finally rolled three times on the ground before sitting back in his original position.
Snape withdrew the spell.
Gale stared at the group in horror.
The Imperius Curse only took away control of his body and soul, but did not take away his memory. He could clearly sense what had just happened to him.
Everything was controlled, and he was like a bystander in his own body.
"See?" Snape said softly, "I can ask you to do anything I want, even right now, at this moment, there is no problem for me to ask you to propose to the Dark Lord."
Gale shook his head. "A truly horrible method."
Harry sat down at the table. "So, get it? We're not bargaining with you."
"Then I should really thank you for having enough patience to say these things to me." Gale took a deep breath. Now in his heart, he was more inclined to believe that Harry and the others were not lying.
With their abilities and means, there is no need for them to fabricate lies to deceive themselves.
One Imperius Curse would be enough.
Harry stood up: "Very good, remember the promise you made."
"professor……"
Snape turned his head away: "I know, I will stay here and supervise him."
This is a reason, but not the most important one.
It was not yet time for him to appear before Voldemort.
Ciri stayed too.
She... although she possesses ancient blood and has a bright future, it is only a future after all, a bright future, not a bright present.
The remaining five people cast the Disillusionment Spell again and set out for Eredin's bedroom.
Right now.
Voldemort narrowed his eyes, looking at the three wand merchants kneeling before him, with a dark and sinister look in his eyes.
Cruciatus Curse, Legilimency...
He tried all these methods, but still didn't find any useful clues about the "Elder Wand".
The only useful thing is that Gregorovitch briefly possessed the Elder Wand, but it was stolen by the young Grindelwald.
And he had already looked for Grindelwald, and the Elder Wand was not in his possession.
He was smart enough to come up with his own guesses.
Maybe... the Elder Wand is in Dumbledore's hands - after all, he had defeated Grindelwald, and as the winner, isn't it normal for him to take the best things from the loser as trophies?
That comes down to it.
He still had to face Dumbledore and Potter.
