"Are you on guard against me?" Rozier looked at Kyle's actions and asked with his head slightly raised.
"Yes." Kyle did not deny it and said straightforwardly: "As a righteous wizard, is there anything wrong with me guarding against you, a dark wizard from decades ago?"
“I thought we worked well together this time.”
"It's only temporary, and it's not cooperation. At most, it's... well, we just have a common enemy." Kyle said, "Besides, have you forgotten that we were enemies a few months ago?"
"But you're fine now, aren't you?"
"That's just because I'm cautious enough. It has nothing to do with you."
While Kyle was talking, his eyes were always on Rozier's movements.
Fortunately, although Rosier felt it was a pity, he did not become too obsessed with the alchemical item that could resist the Killing Curse.
In addition to the fact that Kyle was watching, she also thought about it and felt that the thing was not as useful as she had imagined.
Being able to resist the Killing Curse sounds really tempting, but in reality it is not the case, because Grindelwald doesn't seem to need it at all.
After all, his opponent was Dumbledore, a wizard who had almost never used the Killing Curse... Rosier had never seen Dumbledore use the Killing Curse anyway.
The same goes for the Cruciatus Curse and the Imperius Curse.
Even at the height of the war seventy years ago, Dumbledore never used the Unforgivable Curses.
This is probably why he can be called the strongest white wizard.
It was like this before, and there is no need to say more now...
Therefore, there was no need for Rosier to take unknown risks to steal an alchemical item that was of no use to Grindelwald.
After all, the spells Kyle had used before still made her a little wary.
Thinking of this, Rozier began to actively retreat and change his position.
"If you want to help Grindelwald, I advise you to give up this idea."
Kyle suddenly said, "They won't welcome you...either of them."
Rozier paused, looked at Kyle carefully, and then narrowed his eyes. "Oh? What do you know?"
"I don't know anything, I'm just talking casually." Kyle shrugged.
"You can think of this as... I don't want to help Professor Dumbledore, but I don't want you to help Grindelwald, so I came up with this excuse."
"If I insist..." Rozier continued to stare at Kyle, "Will you stop me?"
"No." Kyle said without thinking, and looked up to his left.
There was no movement there, as quiet as if nothing had happened, which was obviously not normal.
Either they haven't taken action yet, or they have gone somewhere else, or they have used some special magic.
But no matter which one it was, Kyle didn't want to get involved.
"Of course, I can't just watch you cause trouble for Professor Dumbledore," Kyle continued.
"What does this mean?" Rozier returned to the ground and asked with interest.
"What I mean is that if you go to help Grindelwald, I will go and seek revenge on the wizards who are still nearby."
Kyle said calmly, "They showed no mercy when they chased me in the forest before. I still remember it. Now I have nothing to do, so it would be nice to go find them and catch up.
"I guess Voldemort didn't kill everyone...but there's only you here, they must have been injured and left the battlefield.
"If that's the case, then they shouldn't be able to get far."
Rozier's face became colder and colder.
Kyle was right, those people were indeed injured, and they were somewhere not far away.
Kyle had not arrived at that time. They underestimated Voldemort's strength and overestimated themselves, and were caught off guard by two consecutive large-scale spells.
Some of them died directly, and most of the rest were injured to varying degrees and had to withdraw from the battlefield.
Given their current state, if they were really found by Kyle, they would definitely not be a match for him.
"You did this...did Dumbledore know?" Rosier asked coldly.
"I don't know. He's not here." Kyle said, "Even if he knew, what would happen... Like I said just now, I respect Professor Dumbledore, but that doesn't mean I have to listen to him in everything."
"But we just helped you kill Voldemort." Rosier's tone changed slightly.
"As I recall, he is the most dangerous dark wizard in your country, the culprit who caused the destruction of countless wizards' families and the deaths of their loved ones. At one point, even British wizards did not dare to address his name.
"We helped you kill this dark wizard at all costs, but you want to kill us in return... Is this appropriate?"
"You're not helping us." Kyle corrected him, "You're just helping Grindelwald, it's not that great."
"No matter what the reason is, we have contributed, haven't we?" Rosier refused to give in. "If it were just you, if we hadn't used our lives to drain Voldemort's energy, would you have been able to kill him so easily?"
Simple? Kyle picked.
It has to be said that the French Black Rose, which once dominated Europe, is indeed a bit difficult to deal with.
If someone who didn't know the truth heard what she just said, they would probably think that Kyle was destroying his bridges.
But is that really the case?
……not necessarily.
Before coming here, Voldemort fought with the people of Hogwarts for a whole night. If we really talk about consumption, it would never be the turn of Rosier and his men.
Those who only last a few minutes before being eliminated can only play a cosmetic role at best.
And he even sacrificed the basilisk, so what did Rozier do... I can only say that it helped, but not much.
"You're right." Kyle suddenly laughed and said calmly, "No matter what your purpose is in dealing with Voldemort, you have helped us after all. As a British wizard, I really shouldn't burn bridges after crossing them."
"But I can't just pretend that what happened before never happened. After all, that was the first time I was chased around by someone. It's impossible not to take revenge..."
"So what are you going to do?" Rozier asked.
"Let's choose a compromise. What do you think?" Kyle said with a smile, "You still go to help Grindelwald, and I will also seek revenge, but I won't kill them. What do you think?"
"Very good, you..." Rozier was about to speak, but suddenly shut his mouth after seeing Kyle's expression.
Because she noticed the flash of teasing in Kyle's eyes, and she could also clearly perceive that Kyle's real thoughts were definitely different from what he had just said.
Not killing them... the scope is too large, and in a sense it is useless, just like not saying anything.
Kyle was watching her from across the street and didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
If Rosier really left here to help Grindelwald, he would definitely go find other people, but Kyle kept his word. Since he said he would not kill them, he would definitely not go back on his word.
Kyle touched the box and seemed to be able to feel a piercing coldness on his hands.
After all, if only the body is alive, it is still considered alive, right? At most, it is just a lack of soul. He has professionals here, and their techniques are 100% clean and neat... Well, it may also be their mouth skills.
But none of that matters. What matters is that he really won't kill those people.
The two looked at each other for a long time. Rosier guessed what Kyle was thinking, except for the Dementors.
Since Kyle had no intention of hiding anything, both of them were very frank.
Rozier suddenly laughed, straightened his black robe that was messed up by the battle, waved his hand, and turned a branch next to him into a retro wide-brimmed hat and put it on his head.
This action shows that she will no longer help Grindelwald.
To be more precise, she had already given up the idea of helping when Kyle reminded her before.

As one of Grindelwald's closest subordinates, how could Rosier be so dull as to know nothing?
Not to mention that she had been following Grindelwald even after his failure.
Unable to find the location of Nurmengard, she waited in the forest, waiting for Grindelwald to escape and lead them to conquer Europe and the entire wizarding world again.
But this wait lasted for seventy years.
This Nurmengard Tower was designed by Grindelwald. How could he not escape for seventy years?
The only reason could be that he hadn't figured it out at all... for Dumbledore.
And they haven't seen each other for a long time.
Rosier knew Grindelwald and knew that he definitely didn't want to see anyone except Dumbledore at this time.
She glanced at Kyle once more, then turned and walked towards the other side of the forest, soon disappearing from sight.
Kyle guessed that she was probably going to look for those injured people, so he didn't stop her.
As long as Rosier doesn't help Grindelwald, he doesn't bother to care. Besides, he has more important things to do now.
Kyle stepped over an ugly statue full of cracks and walked quickly to the front of the basilisk that had turned completely gray.
Kyle stood there, his heart aching so much that it almost bled.
This is a basilisk... and it's a thousand-year-old basilisk that there's no other like it in the entire magical world. It just died like this. It would be a lie to say I don't feel sad.
But there was no other way. Under the circumstances at that time, this was the only way to kill Voldemort as quickly as possible.
When Kyle saw Voldemort summoning those skeletons at will, he had already thought that Voldemort mastered all kinds of dark magic, and it was too difficult to kill him by normal means.
It was a miracle that Lily Evans was able to kill Voldemort more than ten years ago. Even Dumbledore couldn't do it, but she did it. This is why Harry's reputation as the savior is so famous.
But Kyle is not Lily Evans, and he doesn't have her special magic that can bounce the Killing Curse back the way it came.
So after much thought, it seemed that the only way for him to defeat Voldemort was to launch a surprise attack on him.
But Voldemort was not like those students at Hogwarts who had no combat experience. Especially after suffering a series of setbacks, he could not be distracted in the battle in any way.
If this situation really happened, it could only be something he cared about very much... For example, Voldemort, who claimed to be a descendant of Slytherin, personally killed the basilisk, which symbolized the identity of Slytherin's heir.
So Kyle gritted his teeth and released the basilisk, and asked it to help block the hundreds of killing curses.
Voldemort's attention was indeed drawn there, and he was distracted for a moment. It was only during this moment that Kyle found the opportunity to kill him.
To be honest, there was some luck involved. In that blink of an eye, Voldemort just didn't see Kyle's action, and there happened to be a small cluster of fierce fire where he was standing that could serve as a medium.
If it happens again, Kyle really can't guarantee that he will succeed. If he continues to pester him, Voldemort will most likely choose to escape again and go to another place to recuperate.
Everything is exactly the same as before.
If you think about it this way, just sacrificing a basilisk can offset all the threats posed by Voldemort, so this deal doesn't seem to be a big loss.
Oh, it’s not a loss for others, but it’s a huge loss for Kyle.
Basilisk... He still finds it hard to accept, and he doesn't know if he can ever encounter a new one.
With this thought in mind, Kyle sighed, opened the box, and carefully stuffed the basilisk's body into it.
Although it was hit by hundreds of spells, they were all killing curses that would not leave any marks on its body, so the basilisk's body is still a rare treasure.
Oh, and most importantly.
Kyle loosened his clenched right hand, and a faint hint of orange appeared between his fingers.
The eye of the basilisk is also an important tool he uses to kill Voldemort's consciousness. In a sense, the eye of the basilisk is the same as the killing curse, and can act on intangible things such as the soul or consciousness.
He was not familiar with the Killing Curse, but this thing was easier to use than the Killing Curse. There was no need to chant any spells or use a wand. He could just take it out when he wanted to use it.
Convenient, fast, efficient... but it may also come with the possibility of mutual destruction.
After all, no one can guarantee that they can control their vision, not even Kyle. Maybe just a gust of wind will change their vision involuntarily.
If you happen to see the basilisk's eyes at that time, even if you just glance at it, you might be affected.
So Kyle didn't open his eyes the whole time, whether it was during the battle just now or now.
He tilted his head back and turned the fallen leaves beside him into some thick black wide-mouthed bottles, and safely transferred the two complete basilisk eyes into the bottles.
The dark bottle blocked the basilisk's view, and Kyle breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the basilisk's eye was preserved. Later he could go to Nicolas Flamel to see if he could find a way to make the basilisk's eye into a weapon.
Or it could be a wand ornament. Putting it on the wand would not only look nice and be hard to notice, but it could also make up for his shortcoming of not being very good at using the Killing Curse, thus killing two birds with one stone.
Thinking about it now, it’s really magical. The basilisk was dead, but its eyes were preserved intact. Not only were there no damages, but even after being separated from the basilisk’s head, the curse power in them was still perfectly retained.
Kyle didn't know how long this ability would last, but it was magical enough.
It felt as if the eyes were not part of the body, but were attached as a weapon, like a knife or a magic wand, the kind of weapon that you can pick up and use.
It's very abrupt, but also very normal.
Anyone who has seen "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" knows that the basilisk was originally created by humans, a dark creature used for war. Every part of its body was actually added by humans, including of course the pair of cursed eyes.
