Early the next morning, in the side hall of Green Manor.
After a night's rest, Sherrin stood up straight and full of energy, with Gareth, Daphne, Meredith, and Astoria beside him. Mogadon and the elf Tiva were stationed outside the hall door to prevent anyone from disturbing them.
Xie Lin asked Astoria to lie down on the sofa in a comfortable position, and followed Xie Lin's instructions to summon the curse marks. Gareth Greengrass closed his eyes in distress, while Schelling took a deep breath.
Circles of black marks appeared on her arms, neck, and even her face. The color was so deep that it was faintly red, making Xie Lin feel like he was staring into the abyss.
Daphne closed her eyes, as if she couldn't bear to see her sister's miserable state. Meredith's eyes were also red and she suddenly covered her mouth.
"Brother Xie Lin, I hope I didn't scare you." Astoria's face instantly turned pale, but she still endured the discomfort and teased with a smile.
Although Xie Lin had known Astoria for a year, he had never seen her look like this before. At this moment, she was like a porcelain doll full of cracks, so fragile, so pitiful.
Astoria had always been like an innocent and lively little sister in front of Xie Lin, and she would occasionally act cute and coquettishly. Xie Lin never thought that she was carrying such a terrible thing. Just by looking at these marks, you can guess what kind of pain she is suffering. These marks seem to be swallowing her blood, making a silent carnival.
"Tori...I never knew..." It turned out that he had never really understood this girl in depth. Xie Lin felt a little admiration for Astoria's strength, and also had a deep respect for her. A trace of pity arose from her weakness, "Don't worry! I believe in your brother Xie Lin, your pain will definitely end today!"
Suddenly, a huge wave of magic power emerged from Astoria, and the entire hall was suddenly filled with a violent aura.
Astoria could no longer bear the pain, bit her lower lip, and let out a soft cry of pain.
A gleam flashed in Xie Lin's eyes, the wand instantly slipped into his hand, and he shouted in a low voice: "Seal the devil!"
The wand in his hand trembled slightly, and most of his magic power poured out along with the spell. A white beam of light erupted from the end of the wand, like a flexible rope. As Schelling waved the wand, it transformed into individual shapes. Circle, surrounding Astoria sitting on the couch.
Xie Lin took a deep breath, flicked the wand, and the beam of light rushed toward Astoria. Gareth Greengrass, who was watching from the sidelines, clenched his fists nervously, and Daphne and Meredith couldn't help but hold their breath.
The black marks on Astoria's body seemed to come alive, bursting out with a burst of black energy. The black energy formed the shape of a snake head. At first glance, it looked somewhat similar to Nagini, with its bloody mouth open. Rushing towards Xie Lin, Curse actually still has his own consciousness and knows how to fight back against Xie Lin!
While maintaining the magic output of the wand in his hand, Xie Lin used his other hand's index finger to point at the snake-shaped black air and quickly drew a Guruni magic talisman. The symbol's representative meaning is "protection" (eihwaz). !
The Guruni magic talisman appeared in mid-air with a blue halo. Even though Gareth was worried about the safety of his beloved daughter at this moment, he couldn't help but be shocked by the strength shown by Xie Lin, and couldn't help but said in a voiceless voice: "Guruni cast a spell?"
Who are these people! Multitasking, two-handed casting, wandless casting, and lost Guruni casting!
Is the Malfoy family already so powerful?
At this moment, the blue rune magic talisman collided with the snake-shaped black energy! An invisible wave of air spread out in all directions centered on the impact point, and the decorations in the hall were swept to the ground one by one, making a ping-ping-pong-pong sound.
Xie Lin seized the opportunity to increase the magic output of the wand, and there seemed to be an inaudible neighing of the Thestrals in his ears - he had a feeling of bliss, his own magic power and some unknown energy in the wand were indistinguishable from each other. The ground blended together, and the end of the wand erupted with a dazzling light that could make people instantly dizzy, and the beam was forced into the curse marks.
The curse marks made a hissing sound like liquid boiling, and plumes of white smoke were emitted. Everyone present could see that the curse marks retracted from all over Astoria's body, and finally concentrated on the back of her neck. , changing into the shape of a two-headed and tailless snake.
"Tori! Hold on!" Xie Lin's eyes burst into bright red light, and suddenly turned into blue pupils, with the eihwaz symbol looming in the pupils. This is the last step, and there must be no mistakes here!
Xie Lin's magic power exploded instantly. Although his magic power was only at the level of a senior student, under his powerful mental control, every bit of magic power was unleashed to its 200% potential!
The wand touched the image of a two-headed tailless snake, and a burning smell spread across Astoria's skin. Astoria bit her lips tightly, refusing to let herself make any sound. Finally, the curse marks disappeared, leaving only a hexagonal scar on the white skin on the back of her neck.
"It's done!" Xie Lin came back to his senses and found that his face and palms were covered with sweat. Suddenly, there was a wave of dizziness in his consciousness, and the magic power in his body could no longer be sustained. Xie Lin's body swayed, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Daphne and Meredith rushed forward and helped Shaylin sit on the sofa one by one. Daphne wiped the sweat from Shaylin's forehead more carefully with a handkerchief.
Gareth hurriedly handed over a bottle of magic recovery potion and asked Daphne to feed it to Xie Lin. Xie Lin felt much better and said with a confident smile: "Succeeded."
At night, stars soak in the sea, and fine waves surge up to the Milky Way.
Xie Lin woke up quietly lying on a luxurious and comfortable bed.
Looking at the time, it had been ten hours since I was so tired that I fell asleep after casting the spell. It seemed that I was indeed very tired.
Xie Lin examined himself and found that his magic power was full. Not only had he returned to his peak state, he had even made some breakthroughs. His magic power had increased by an almost imperceptible amount compared to before. I carefully recalled the entire spell-casting process this morning. Was this because I absorbed the unknown energy in the wand? Xie Lin thought secretly.
On the small table next to the bed, there was a plate of steaming food and a glass of juice. The waiters should change every once in a while. After all, they don't know when Xie Lin will wake up. Just when he woke up, Xie Lin was a little hungry and quickly finished the food on the small table.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Xie Lin opened the door. Standing at the door was Astoria. At this moment, she had returned to her usual innocent and lovely appearance.
"Brother Xie Lin, how are you feeling?" The girl's tone contained deep concern.
"What can happen to me? In fact, I just used up all my magic power." Xie Lin smiled, "On the other hand, you must be in a lot of pain today, right? Why don't you go and get more rest? What if Uncle Gareth or Daphne knows about it? , they are still not angry to death..."
Astoria didn't answer, her eyes were burning, as if she was trying to find something in Xie Lin's eyes.
"Brother Xie Lin, I like you."
"I know you, sister, and sister Mei are getting along well..." Astoria shook her head gently, "But I don't mind, sister loves me the most, and she will definitely not blame me. ...You know? Edward Harper and Frank Urquhart both pursued me in school, but I didn't accept it. In my heart, no other boy can compare to you, Brother Sherling..."
What? Is this a confession? With all the conscience in the world, Xie Lin originally thought that she was here to express her gratitude, and all the humility and kind words that she had planned in her heart were not used.
"Brother Xie Lin... do you like me?"
"Well," Xie Lin stared at her dark brown pupils and nodded slowly, "My Tori is so cute, how could she not like her?"
Xie Lin only felt a hot, fragrant and soft body pressing into his arms without reservation. Astoria raised her head vigorously, her eyes filled with mist of joy, "Brother Xie Lin... "Her eyes looked directly into Xie Lin's eyes, "Kiss me..."
Ten minutes later, the two ended their passion and reluctantly separated.
The manor was very quiet at night.
Astoria held Sherrin's hand, snuggled closely against Sherrin, and led him around the manor.
The girl's hand felt delicate and soft, and Xie Lin could smell the faint body fragrance coming from her body. The intense heartbeats of the two of them were particularly obvious in this silent night. The two of them were walking aimlessly. The time at this moment belonged to only the two of them. Astoria only hoped that this time would never end.
Walking to a classical oak door, Astoria said, "Dad said that you can come and go at will anywhere in the manor except the master's secret room."
Astoria led him into the family library. Now Schelling's demand for books is no longer open to anyone. He has already collected the complete knowledge base of Malfoy, Black, and Ravenclaw, plus the books he got from his grandmother. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is as vast as the sea.
But since Astoria was so kind to her, Xie Lin didn't want to offend her. He walked around the library and tried his luck to see if he could find the next fragment of Abatail, but this time he was disappointed. He didn't gain much from the library.
The next morning, at the family breakfast.
Gareth formally expressed his deepest gratitude to Schelling. He clapped his hands, and Morgadon came over, holding a long gift box in his hands.
"This is a little gift from me, please accept it." Gareth said sincerely.
Xie Lin knew that this was the other person's intention, and he could indeed bear the gratitude, so he accepted it without refusing.
"You can open it and have a look." Gareth said with a smile, "See if you recognize what it is?"
Opening the gift box, there are three exquisite bottles inside, with amazing magic fluctuations exuding from the mouths of the bottles. Gareth explained: "The first bottle is the tears of the phoenix. Its effect can treat any serious injury. As long as the breath is still alive, it can bring the dead back to life. This was obtained from Dumbledore. I agreed to hire the old man." For the price of Moody, I have to thank you for getting such a thing..."
Xie Lin looked at the second bottle. The bottle cap seemed to be covered with a fine layer of frost, "This is..." Even with Xie Lin's knowledge, he couldn't determine what this thing was.
"This is the blood of the Tibetan Snowman. It can cure mental or soul damage. It is very precious... The Chinese Ministry of Magic regards it as one of the national treasures. In order to treat two Aurors with damaged mental souls, the British Ministry of Magic I tried to negotiate several times but couldn't get it. I was able to get it because when I traveled around the world, I established a relationship with the Ji family, a pure-blood family there..."
Xie Lin was full of curiosity about the foreign world, "Are there such things as pure-blood families in Eastern countries?"
"Of course. The wizarding world in the East has a longer heritage than ours in Europe. As early as BC, a wizard named Zou Yan appeared in China and founded a school called the Yin Yang Family. Later, it seemed to be related to a certain Chinese Muggle It was related to the emperor's exclusive Confucianism movement, and wizards gradually faded out of sight. The inheritance of wizards in the East is very mysterious. There are various sayings that it is passed down from within to outsiders, from sons to daughters, and from direct descendants to concubines. As for their pure blood, My knowledge of the family is limited, and what I have glimpsed is probably just the tip of the iceberg."
"Okay, you better look at the third bottle!"
Xie Lin gently touched the bottle, feeling a tingling sensation on his fingertips. This time Xie Lin recognized the object, "These are the tears of the thunderbird, right?"
"Yes, the thunderbird is extremely sensitive to supernatural dangers. A wand made from its tail feathers is said to be able to launch spells first. Its tears are filled with violent thunder and lightning power, and can also increase the spiritual awareness of the user. For some Hidden forces or crises will be more acutely perceived.”
(In layman’s terms, spiritual awareness is the so-called sixth sense)
【Get Phoenix Tears! Get snowman blood! Thunderbird Tears obtained! 】
After accepting the gift, the conversation between Schelling and Gareth turned to the main topic.
Gareth was extremely satisfied with the young man in front of him, just like his mother-in-law, ah, or father-in-law looked at his son-in-law - he was impeccable in terms of appearance, family background, strength, character, and intelligence, and this time the other party gave him With such a huge favor from him (in his opinion, nothing is more important than the safety and health of his daughter), the alliance between the two became logical.
This is completely different from the family's overture to Schelling two years ago. This time, the Greengrass family will become an ally that he can truly rely on, standing firmly in his camp and supporting him in all aspects without reservation. onclick="hui"
