After that day, Xie Lin pushed himself even harder and harder. No matter where he was, Xie Lin could be seen holding a thick book and reading seriously.
He first finished the "A Thousand Changes of Illusions", and then the dark magic books "Dark Potion" and "Fallen Creatures" in Malfoy's Chamber of Secrets. These books are all ancient books with thousands of pages. Not only are the contents difficult to understand, but the words are boring and boring. There are also some black magic that is eager for quick success, which can shake the minds of readers and lure unsuspecting readers to fall.
However, Xie Lin, who has already set a goal, will not be distracted by boring words, nor will he let the profound content consume his patience, nor will he let the power of quick success and instant gain frivolous his temperament - because when he penetrates time and space, In his field of vision, he has already seen his future, and all he has to do is walk towards it step by step!
In the book "Fallen Creatures", he read about an unknown dark wizard's research on the curse on werewolves. He had tried to break the curse. Of course, he was not trying to turn the werewolves back into normal people, but wanted to Let the werewolf remain in the werewolf form forever, and at the same time be controlled by him. His research ultimately failed.
Interestingly, the direction of his research is somewhat similar to the notes of the old Armenian wizard that Schelling obtained from Lockhart. They were both inspired by the ancient magic handed down from the Seleucid Empire. Schelling realized from this that perhaps the breakthrough point of the "Restore Humanoid Curse" was here.
In the book "Dark Potion", he discovered a potion that might have a great effect on his strength - Bafei Awakening Potion. Most of the raw materials required for Baffy's Brain Refreshing Potion are not difficult to find, but they are very expensive. Among them, he has collected a lot of jumping toadstools in the Forbidden Forest for spare use. Frog brains and dragon claw powder can make Dobby go to the opposite corner. Collect from major drug stores in the lane.
Only rune snake eggs encountered a problem - rune snake eggs were Category C prohibited trade goods and could not be found in ordinary pharmacies. Xie Lin could only hope to find them on the underground black market in Knockturn Alley or Nicholas. Take a chance.
As for why we need to refine Bafei’s brain-refreshing potion? Bafe's brain-boosting potion is a potion that can significantly enhance the brain power of the user. Many wizards confuse it with intelligence-enhancing drugs.
Intelligence enhancers can only make the drinker's thinking clearer, but they cannot make people smarter; but Buffy's brain enhancers can develop the human brain and improve the memory of the human brain. In the annual Hogwarts There are many Year 7 students who go to the black market to buy Bafa brain-refreshing drugs to help them get good grades in NEWT.
However, Schelling believes that these people do not realize the true value of Baffer's Brain Refresher. The most valuable use of Baffer's Brain Refresher should be to enhance people's mental power. Mental power determines a wizard's control over magic spells. How precise, many complicated spells have very high requirements on mental strength.
The most important thing is that in the experiment of the Pain Mask, Schelling has discovered that the growth rate of magic power is not fixed. There are two factors that can affect the growth rate of magic power. As long as the soul strength and mental power are enhanced, the growth can be controlled. rate bonus.
Xie Lin has no idea about the strength of the soul for the time being, but taking Bafei Awakening Potion is undoubtedly the most obvious and easiest way to enhance mental strength.
Soon the Easter holidays arrived.
For most students, the Easter holidays aren't exactly relaxing. There had never been so much homework for a third grader, and Neville seemed to be having a nervous breakdown, and he wasn't the only one. The shouts of Ron and others struggling to do their homework could often be heard in the Gryffindor lounge.
Hermione was busier. Even though there was no Divination class and Hagrid's affairs were settled by Schelling, she still took more classes than anyone else in her class. She was usually the last to leave the common room at night and the first in the library the next morning. She had dark circles under her eyes like Lupin's, and she always looked sullen.
On the day Hermione beat Draco, after Harry and Ron came forward, the two had reconciled with Hermione. Ron also forgave Hermione for Scabbers, but the two had not been in her care for a long time. There was a smile on her face, as if the arrogant yet innocent girl back then no longer existed.
Harry had to do his homework every day after Quidditch practice, not to mention endless discussions on tactics with Wood.
The game between Gryffindor and Slytherin will be held on the first Saturday after Easter. The Slytherin team leads the league by a full two hundred points, which means Harry and the others need to win by more than two hundred points to win the cup. . In this case, Harry's task becomes, he must first prevent Draco from catching the Golden Snitch, and then he can catch the Golden Snitch only after the team leads by 60 points, which is several times more difficult than before.
The most laid-back person is Schelling: his holiday homework has been completed long ago and he doesn't need to attend Quidditch practice. The day after Easter, he moved from the Floo network specially connected for him at Hogwarts to Sardinia, Italy.
Sardinia is an island located southwest of the Italian Peninsula and is the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea.
Sardinia is a melting pot of cultures, and Sardinian, a language derived from Latin, is still spoken on the island. But in the north of the island, Catalan, which comes from the Iberian Peninsula, is spoken. In the southern part of the island, the "Lycian" dialect is used again. Therefore, even native Italians may not understand the meaning at all and cannot communicate.
In Muggle history, Sardinia has always been a battleground for military strategists. It was successively occupied and colonized by the Phoenicians, Romans, Vandals, Goths and Byzantines.
However, in the world of wizards, this has always been the headquarters of the European Wizards' Federation in the Middle Ages. Before the establishment of the International Federation of Wizards, the International Wizards' Congress was held here.
Even today, the International Confederation of Wizards has completely replaced the role of the former, and is more widely recognized by the international wizarding community. The Medieval European Confederation of Wizards still has considerable influence.
This is because there is also a collection of books handed down from the Middle Ages, which contain many studies and records of precious and rare ancient rune magic. Moreover, this organization is also closely related to the Silver Spear, which is responsible for organizing the "European Duel Competition".
When Xie Lin walked out of the fireplace, although his body was covered with ashes, he did not feel any dizziness or discomfort. He looked at the intact anti-sickness bracelet on his wrist with satisfaction - it had been improved countless times. , the anti-sickness bracelet can already withstand such a long distance transmission without breaking.
[The invention of the anti-sickness bracelet is completed! 】
Xie Lin cast a descaling spell on himself, and then observed the tall and spacious auditorium where he was.
The decorations and carvings in the auditorium are all in medieval style. The walls are covered with portraits of well-known European wizards from the medieval period. Schelling could recognize many of them - the German magic theorist Cornelius Agger. Reba, the Swiss alchemist Pallas, the famous Irish female Truikliona, etc., and of course the most proud representative of Slytherin - Merlin!
These portraits have inherited most of the memories of these characters (from birth to painting). When Schelling arrived, they gathered in small groups and whispered about Schelling's identity. Xie Lin couldn't help but smile. It seemed that there were very few visitors here on weekdays, making these portraits very boring.
Xie Lin walked to the reception desk. The table at the reception desk was filled with all kinds of silverware. There sat a middle-aged witch dressed in medieval times. The collar and cuffs of the wizard's robe were all extremely fluffy. Lace pleated lace, Xie Lin couldn't help but smile inwardly when he saw this. When he is in fourth grade, he can appreciate this design again on Ron.
Schelling showed the perfect accomplishments of a nobleman and asked politely: "Hello, madam. I am Malfoy, from Great Britain. I have an appointment with your chairman, Ms. Cropatra, today. Please pass the news on my behalf."
Seeing Xie Lin's impeccable etiquette, the witch knew that he must be from an ancient European family. She did not dare to neglect him. She only asked Xie Lin to wait for a moment, and then hurriedly wrote Xie Lin's name on a small piece of paper. Name, roll up a small piece of paper and put it into the mouth of a mouse-shaped silverware. After the paper was put in, it turned into a streak of fire, as if it was burned.
Seeing Xie Lin staring at the silverware with interest, the witch explained: "This is a transmitter that can directly transmit the note to another silverware that is connected to it."
Not long after, a piece of paper spat out from Silverware's mouth with a spark.
The witch took a quick glance, then got up and led Xie Lin to a side hall, and then walked up a long spiral staircase from the side hall. This spiral staircase was released with automatic rotation magic, just like in the Muggle world. Just like an escalator, as long as you stand on it, you will automatically rise step by step.
Arriving at a door with "Gulana Kropatra" written on it, the witch bowed and left Schelling behind.
Xie Lin opened the door and saw Ms. Cropatra, who had been communicating with him frequently this semester. To Schelling's surprise, Cropatra was very young. According to Schelling's guess, she was probably between 29 and 32 years old.
She wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, but she couldn't hide the shrewd and sharp eyes behind the lenses.
However, what attracted Xie Lin's attention more than her intellectual and elegant facial features was that she wore rings of different shapes on each finger. Without exception, a Guruni demon was engraved on the ring surface. Talisman, under the effect of the Magic Eye, each exudes completely different magic fluctuations.
A smile appeared on Cropatra's lips, "Xie Lin, you don't mind if I call you that, right? It's true that a hero comes from a boy, and you look like a talented person."
Xie Lin exclaimed in his heart, very few people would abandon etiquette and directly call others by their names. If it were another person, it would definitely be a very rude behavior.
However, I don’t know why, but when it comes from such a beautiful and well-established lady, it only makes people feel flattered. In addition, the age difference between her and Xie Lin is not too big (in the wizarding world, there is a difference of more than ten years). It’s not that big at all), calling them by name directly will create an atmosphere between siblings of the same generation, making people feel more cordial.
Xie Lin said carefully: "Thank you for your compliments, Ms. Cropatra. Your grace and achievements are admirable. You are in a high position at such a young age and you are so beautiful."
Cropatra covered her mouth and chuckled, lazily raised a jade hand to gently pull the hair around her ears, and gave Xie Lin a charming look, "Oh, your mouth is so sweet. But, You’d better call me Sister Gulana! It’s more cordial.”
Xie Lin called "Sister Gulana" obediently.
Cropatra showed a satisfied smile, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I believe you have read the proposal I made in my letter. Sister, I have taken a fancy to your potential, and I would like to invite you to join on behalf of the parliament. Medieval European Wizards Federation, and become a youth representative of the Parliament - simply put, become our spokesperson. This spokesperson does not have many practical obligations, as long as you link all your personal achievements to the Parliament - for example, you The identity of the inventor of this combination of the Happy Spell and the Patronus Spell is still attributed to you, but you must add the prefix 'Youth Representative of the Medieval European Wizards' Federation' in front of your name."
"Of course, correspondingly, the Parliament will also give you corresponding benefits - knowledge, strength, wealth, status, and honor. Our library, which is never open to the public, will be open to you personally; we will also open it to you at Silver Spear. It is convenient for you, so that you can enter and participate in duels at any time; as for wealth and status, I don’t think you need it for the time being; and as for honor-about this, I have to explain that there is your British magic behind the "Daily Prophet" The Ministry is firmly in control in the dark, and we can’t reach there, but—”
Cropatra's sharp eyes were shining, "At least 70% of the media in Europe are our industry, including France's "The Stone Wings" and Nordic "Viking" that you may be familiar with. "Daily Daily", the gossip magazine "Broomstick", the women's magazine "Witches Weekly", the curiosity magazine "The Quibbler", the sports magazine "Quidditch Times", the broomstick guide magazine "The Encyclopedia of Broomsticks", etc. You might as well imagine, These media controlled by us are standing behind you, saying good things about you, building momentum for you, and what kind of fame they will create for you in public opinion..."
