Grodia smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Yeah! I lost!"
Grodia looked at the two giant purple flame dragons circling above Erwin's head.
There was some longing in his eyes.
Then, Grodia knelt on one knee.
He grabbed his wand with both hands and raised it above his head.
"As promised, Lord Elwen Cavendish! Grodia Selwyn, on behalf of the Selwyn family, swears allegiance to you! Wherever your wand points, the Selwyn family's troops will be led!"
In the stands, old Selwyn also stood up.
The crutch in his hand tapped the ground.
The head is slightly lowered.
Yaxley watched old Selwyn's performance.
A cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Old Selwyn, you're courting death!"
Old Selwyn ignored him!
Instead, he lowered his head and waited for Erwin's response.
When Erwin saw this scene, his brows furrowed even deeper.
The Selwyn family is actually serious.
Old Selwyn said, "Grodia! Show your loyalty to Lord Erwin!"
Everyone present was shocked when they heard this.
In this case, they knew exactly what old Selwyn meant.
Seeing this, Dumbledore was about to stop it.
Unexpectedly, old Selwyn saw what Dumbledore meant. "Headmaster Dumbledore! This is a matter belonging to the Selwyn family. All consequences will be borne by the Selwyn family! In the name of the twenty-eight pure-blood families, we begin an eternal oath. Today's matter is an internal matter of the Selwyn family! Regardless of the outcome, the Selwyn family will not hold anyone accountable! Please bear witness."
A gleam flashed in Dumbledore's eyes.
Sitting back in his seat, the Purebloods had rules, rules that had existed since ancient times. When a family used the Ancient Oath in the name of the Twenty-Eight Pureblood Clans, the matter became the Purebloods' business! Not even the Ministry of Magic could interfere. This was a sign of respect for the Purebloods! It was also the reason why the Purebloods had maintained their superiority over the years.
Lucius Malfoy was the first to stand up: "In the name of the Malfoy family, the Malfoy family bear witness!"
Lucius Malfoy spoke first.
The other pure-blood families looked at each other and stood up.
"In the name of the Greengrass family, witness the oath of the pure-blood family!"
"In the name of the Flint family..."
"In the name of the Travers family..."
"In the name of the Shafiq family..."
Several existing pure-blood families have expressed their opinions one after another.
Finally, the patriarch of the Yaxley family was left.
Seeing the current situation, he could only stand up with a grim expression.
"In the name of the Yaxley family..."
He didn't want to express his opinion, but now it was the oath of the pure-blood family. If he stayed out of it, the other pure-blood families would turn their guns against him.
After all, their twenty-eight pure-blooded clans are theoretically one.
Grodia stood up.
With a smile on his face, he walked towards Erwin.
Erwin frowned and said, "Senior, there's no need for this!"
Grodia smiled and said, "That's what I should do! Then, my lord, I will offer you my loyalty!"
The next moment, Grodia stepped directly into the circle of fire without hesitation.
The flames brushed against Grodia's body, but did not cause any harm to Grodia!
Erwin was shocked. Grodia actually planned to be loyal to him.
And without the slightest hesitation.
The Fire Shield's loyalty test is magical.
It depends on the attitude of the person who passes through the wall of fire towards the caster, and also on the attitude of the caster towards the person who passes through.
In short, this is a very idealistic power. There are many unreasonable settings in the world of Harry Potter. According to my aunt, it is idealistic. If you want it, it will exist. If you ask, it is because of the plot requirements!
Grodia knelt on one knee in front of Erwin.
He held his wand above his head.
"grown ups!"
At this point, Erwin did not hesitate at all.
Pick up the wand in Grodia's hand.
Looked at it carefully.
Then he gently tapped Grodia's forehead with his wand.
"I, Elvin Cavendish! In the name of the Cavendish family, I accept your allegiance! And, in the name of the Cavendish family, I will provide you and your family with asylum!"
On the stands.
Draco looked at Erwin.
His eyes were filled with envy. "Do you think I can get through that ring of fire? I feel like I'm loyal to Captain Erwin!"
After Draco finished speaking.
But there was no response.
Turning around, I found that Hermione and Harry were both thinking about something.
Draco scratched his head.
He glanced around and said, "Hey, where's Pansy?"
At this moment, a cry of surprise came from the stands on the other side.
"Pansy, what are you doing?"
The one who spoke was Pansy's father, the current patriarch of the Parkinson family!
Pansy ignored her father.
Come to the outer edge of the fire circle.
Then, before anyone, including Erwin, could react.
Pansy plunged directly into the wall of fire.
Purple flames swept around Pansy.
The Parkinson family patriarch had sprung up from his seat.
Looking at Pansy anxiously.
Amidst the swirling flames, Pansy passed through the wall of fire unscathed.
His face was full of smiles.
His eyes were full of fanaticism.
He walked directly in front of Erwin and knelt on one knee.
He grabbed Erwin's hand and placed it above his head.
"My lord! Pansy Parkinson is willing to pledge her loyalty to you!"
Erwin was a little confused for a moment. How did it suddenly become a meeting to recruit followers?
With Pansy Parkinson as a role model.
In the stands, Bartondulu, who had been marked with the purple lotus by Erwin, dived into the sea of fire without any hesitation and knelt in front of Erwin.
Yaxley slammed the short staff in his hand to the ground.
"Damn bastard, how dare he! How dare a bastard like him pledge allegiance to someone else? If you can't tame something, you should break his wand!"
Old Selwyn looked at Yaxley with a sinister look.
"If you dare to touch Lord Erwin's followers, you will become the enemy of the Selwyn family! What? Do you want to be the enemy of the Selwyn family?"
Yaxley said coldly, "Others may be afraid of you, but I'm not! Old Selwyn, don't make the mistake. You know who's behind me. Are you courting death?"
On the other side, a voice rang out: "What if I am included?"
Yaxley turned to look.
The person who spoke was Pansy's father, the patriarch of the Parkinson family.
He actually didn't want to express his opinion, but there was nothing he could do because his only daughter suddenly fell ill.
In front of so many people, unless he wanted to practice the trumpet and expel Pansy from the family, otherwise, the Parkinson family and Erwin would be inseparable.
Draco looked at Pansy.
With some thoughts in his mind, he also wanted to rush out and pass through the wall of fire!
