The results of the competition are announced in real time throughout Europe.
On the day of the competition, it was not just the Daily Prophet that came to visit the media - France's The Stone Winged Devil, Nordic's Viking Daily, the gossip magazine "Confusion", the women's magazine "Witches Weekly", the curiosity magazine "The Quibbler" and so on, as long as the media with some reputation in Europe are basically here, Gulana's intention is naturally behind this. As the spokesperson of her organization, Xie Lin will of course take this opportunity to build momentum for Xie Lin. Make Xie Lin into a powerful and idol idol in the wizarding world.
After the competition, Schelling received letters like snowflakes. The senders covered almost every country in Europe, sending words of praise and appreciation in different languages. Some even organized events in their own countries at their own expense. In the fan club, there was a person named "Admiral Jaina" who also attached a reward to the letter - a cash roll stamped with the Gringotts seal, with a value of 115 Galleons written on it!
Xie Lin asked Daphne to gather all the members of Sleeping Dragon Society, and a group of people helped open, translate, and reply to the letters one by one in the secret room behind the large mirror on the fifth floor. A few hours passed like this, and when it was time for dinner, the members left first, leaving only the sisters Sherlin, Murray, and Greengrass continuing to open letters.
Of course, Schelling would not abuse himself and his three girlfriends. Dobby brought a sumptuous dinner to him, and even opened a bottle of Ogden champagne as a celebration for Schelling's success in winning his first project.
That night, when they entered the Slytherin common room, there was once again a roar of cheers and uproar. The tables and chairs were covered with mountains of cake, sizzling pumpkin juice and butterbeer.
Blaise Chabini set off some hard-drawn fireworks, and the air was filled with stars and sparks. Several eye-catching new banners have been hung on the walls of the lounge. Most of the banners depict Schelling pointing his wand at the fire dragon, making it bow its head like a puppy, but there are also two that show it. Li's ass is on fire.
Draco came over, patted Xie Lin on the shoulder hard, and said with pride: "I really have you! Xie Lin, I have already written to tell my parents, and they are very proud of you!"
Xie Lin looked at Draco and finally said what he had been hiding in his heart for a long time: "Thank you, pig shit..."
"Don't call me that name!" Draco was a little "angry". This was the nickname the two brothers gave themselves when they were children, but they had never used it to each other since they were 9 years old.
The two brothers looked at each other quietly and laughed uncontrollably.
Draco stopped laughing and said in a ferocious manner: "Huh, you just won the first project. Let's not talk about that useless Potter. I think those two girls are really strong. You are the best." It’s better to be ‘careful’!”
Xie Lin's eyes and mouth were still smiling, but there was a faint light shining deep in his eyes. He said loudly: "I got it, you scumbag. Don't worry!"
"Ah!!! You're still talking!" Hearing the noisy laughter from the little wizards around him, Draco looked like he was about to go crazy.
Just when Draco picked up a piece of cake and wanted to throw it at Xie Lin, Xie Lin suddenly said softly: "Thank you, brother."
Draco paused for a moment and snorted softly, "I won't fight with you anymore, I'll go back to my room and go to bed!" Draco turned and left proudly, taking the cake in his hand with him. Before walking into the corridor of the boys' dormitory behind the cyan tapestry, he said softly without looking back, "As you said, we are brothers."
Seeing Draco's back disappear behind the tapestry, Xie Lin's lips curled up slightly.
Draco's departure did not cool down the atmosphere at the scene, but made the younger wizards even crazier. At this time, beer foam, food remnants, and colorful ribbons shot from various colorful cannons were everywhere on the table and on the ground.
Pansy walked over, followed by her three little followers—Audrey, Tracy, and Millicent. She smiled and said, "Congratulations, Sherlin."
"Thank you, Pansy," Schelling responded politely.
"This celebration," Pansy said pointedly, "Draco organized it for you. It is said that he spent all his pocket money this semester."
Schelling said softly: "I understand, thank you too, Pansy."
At this time, Terrence Higgs appeared out of nowhere with a large glass of butterbeer in his hand. He raised the glass and said loudly: "Here's to us Slytherins." The brave warrior - Schelling!"
All the little wizards raised their cups at the same time and shouted Schelling's name.
After putting down the cup, Terence said: "You are so awesome, Sherlin! It's incredible! You broke the iron rule that 'fire dragons cannot be tamed'! As far as I know, in the past hundred years, no one has been able to do this." Yes, it’s just you and Scamander, the Master of Fantastic Beasts!”
Schelling had also heard about Scamander's deeds. It was the period when the Muggles launched the First World War (1914-1918). Scamander participated in the Ministry of Magic's top-secret plan to tame the Ukrainian Iron Belly, and finally This plan was terminated because the fire dragons only listened to Scamander and continued to obey other dragon tamers.
Regarding this strange phenomenon, Schelling had a speculation. Scamander's family might have a bloodline talent similar to being close to magical animals, and he was forced to develop this talent because of his slightly autistic personality.
Nott also came over and handed a package to Xie Lin, "Dad asked me to give this to you. He said it was a gift to congratulate you on your success today."
Schelling and Nott exchanged glances and nodded tacitly.
The Carlo sisters touched the shining golden egg and said, "Oh my God, it's quite heavy. Is this the clue to the second level?"
At this time, others began to pay attention to the golden egg, and Brace said, "What could be inside this?"
"I don't know, I haven't studied it yet," Xie Lin said with a mean smile, "But can you open it and take a look?"
Blaise handed the golden egg to the strongest Goyle, who dug his nails into a groove on the golden egg and pried it open.
It was empty, with nothing inside - but the moment it was opened, an extremely terrifying, high-pitched scream filled the entire room.
"Close it!" Pansy shouted, covering her ears with her hands.
Goyle slammed the golden egg shut. "What's that?" Blaise asked, staring at the golden egg. "It's like the scream of a banshee... but it's also a bit like the scream of a mandrake. Anyway, it makes me feel bad..."
"What are you afraid of?" Terrence said, "Xie Lin has even tamed the fire dragon, is he still afraid of these things?"
Everyone quickly agreed.
When Xie Lin returned to the dormitory, it was almost one o'clock in the morning. He opened the package that Old Nott gave him. Inside was a book titled "The Encyclopedia of Alchemical Locks", which contained all the methods of making and cracking alchemical locks throughout the ages.
Great, that's exactly what Schelling needs.
Xie Lin deeply felt the importance of establishing power. In his previous life, many fans liked the protagonist to be powerful alone. He never thought that everyone has their own areas of expertise and disadvantage. No matter how powerful a person is, no matter how powerful he is, Even a man as talented as Voldemort cannot conquer the world by himself. Only by gathering the strength of everyone can we achieve more.
He took out a few more items from the suitcase space and laid them out one by one on the bed. These were all gifts sent to him by his allies. It took a lot of time to sort them out today, and there was no one around now. , just take it out and study it.
What Sister Gulana sent her was a dragon-shaped specimen sealed in a transparent container. According to her, the specimen inside was an ancient dragon cub specimen excavated by archaeologists in the organization in a certain ruins. In addition to the organization's secret sealing technique, there is also a little magic power of the ancient dragon, that is, the power of the ancient dragon's bloodline.
What Mr. Slughorn gave him were magic potions, and they were all extremely precious. In addition to a bottle of blessed elixir, there was also a large bottle of dragon's blood. Pure dragon blood extracted from adult dragons is very expensive, and its trade has been almost monopolized by the Ministry of Magic, making it almost unavailable on the market.
The bottle given by Slahaoen is not an ordinary adult dragon's blood, but a bottle of activated dragon's blood. This requires many complicated ritual steps and precious magic materials, and is time-consuming. It takes several months to make.
Because of Dumbledore, it is known that ordinary dragon blood has twelve uses (this research was published by the young Dumbledore), although most of them are quite useless, such as cleaning ovens, removing spots, treating plantar warts, etc. wait. In his previous life, Xie Lin often wondered why dragon blood could still be fetched at such a high price.
It turns out that what ordinary wizards and common people don't know is that those are the uses of ordinary dragon blood.
The real value of dragon blood is that it can be made into active dragon blood.
The dragon blood of active dragon blood can stimulate the body's functions and potential, and the effect varies slightly depending on the type of dragon used. However, the production process is very difficult, and even the top potion masters rarely have the opportunity to refine active dragon blood.
Take the bottle that Schelling received as an example. This is black dragon blood extracted from a living Hebridean black dragon. Then Slahorn added the abdominal skin and flesh of Ukrainian Iron Belly, Peruvian Iron Belly to the dragon blood. The fangs of Vipertooth, the black ridges of Norwegian Ridgeback, the pointed tail sting of Hungarian Horntail, the golden fringed spikes of Chinese Fireball Dragon (similar to the sideburns of a lion), the golden long horn of Romanian Longhorns, Australian Albumen The longan of the eye...
These materials themselves are very expensive and rare, and the ceremony also has many requirements for them. For example, the horns of the Horned Dragon must be three feet long, the fangs of the Venomous Dragon must have not been sprayed with venom for at least three months, and the opal-eyed dragon eyes must be at least Bigger than a watermelon...
After completion, it needs to be sent to the Star Gathering Platform under the control of the Ministry of Magic. There is a magic circle that gathers the moonlight and starlight, so that the dragon's blood is illuminated by the strongest starlight and moonlight, causing the power in the blood to mutate.
It’s not surprising that Xie Lin would receive gifts from these three people. As her fame grows, the interest relationship between Gulana’s sister and herself becomes closer, so she will definitely not be stingy in showing her favor to Xie Lin; and similarly, if she is famous, For Slahaorn, people are like bees to honey, and they are the people he is most keen to win over and make friends with.
What surprised Xie Lin more was the fourth gift.
The giver of this gift is the father of the Carlo sisters and the contemporary head of the Carlo family, Alvin Carlo.
Alvin Carlo is a man with a very majestic appearance. Compared with other pure-blood family heads, although he is not well-known, he is not easy to deal with. In the original book, the Carlo family is a fanatical pure-blood supremacy family, but he did not end up like Lucius himself. Instead, he sent his ineffective brother Amycus and sister Alecto to join the Death Eaters. .
Amycus and Alecto are obviously not very strong, even the newly-adult Harry and the under-age Luna can defeat them, but they are entrusted by the Death Eaters to infiltrate Hogwarts and serve as Hogwarts Professor's responsibility. In fact, behind this, it is more or less because of Alvin Carlo's face.
Leaving aside what the gift is, the act of giving a gift actually means a lot of things.
The Carrow family's outward support for pure-blood supremacy is probably just an act. After all, Schelling's behavior at Hogwarts is no secret. Anyone who bothers to investigate will know that Schelling is probably not a pure-blood. Mr. Carrow, a supporter of blood supremacy, has two daughters studying at Hogwarts, so there is no reason why he should not know.
In this way, the meaning behind Alvin Carlo's move is not difficult to understand - this is a family where interests come first. Amycus and Alecto will join the Death Eaters in the final analysis only for the benefit of the family. , this does not prevent Alvin himself from making bets elsewhere. If he can gain Schelling's friendship and broaden his family's choices, he will do it without hesitation.
That said, this is one to fight for!
The value of the gift is not light, after all, it was given by the head of the sacred 28 pure-blood family himself. It was a simple list, but there were some names written on it that were not simple at all.
Dolphin Rohr, Cobain Yaxley, Trovan Selwyn, Archibald Avery, Sebastian Rocher, Leobald Slahorn...
The names of Old Nott and Alvin Carroll themselves are also seen on it...
Some of these people are recognized Death Eaters, and some are pure-blood family heads who contributed money and people back then, but ended up doing so themselves.
This is a very interesting list!
Xie Lin's pupils shone with shrewd light, and the corners of his mouth curved in an evil way. If he was not wrong, this list confirmed some of his suspicions.
It seems that Mr. Carlo has really given himself a great favor!
