The two of them played in the village of St. Catchpol for a few days (Xie Lin went home during this period, and he did not spend the night at Luna's house). Luna took Xie Lin to catch freshwater colorful ball fish in the creek near the Valley Bridge. , and then Luna showed off her cooking skills. After adding airship plums, pimple vine pods, etc. to the stew pot as seasonings, she cooked the freshwater colorful ball fish into fish soup. Although the taste was very strange and unique, it was actually not bad. .
"How does it taste?" Luna asked in a dreamy tone as she watched Xie Lin drink every drop of the fish soup in the bowl with her bright eyes.
"Well, it's a very strange combination," Xie Lin said honestly: "The umami flavor of the colorful ball fish was not masked by the taste of airship plums and knotty vine pods, but instead blended together to form a taste that I can't describe. But it tastes really good...I like it very much.”
Luna had a bright smile on her face, and her eyes flashed with strange brilliance, and she said softly: "Since my mother passed away, I have basically been the one cooking at home. This is what I am most proud of. It’s a masterpiece. I tried it at least 50 times before I cooked it with this taste..."
She paused, then continued with a smile: "Dad likes the fish soup I cook best. He said it has a flavor that touches the soul."
To touch the soul with the tip of your tongue? Why did the style of food writing and painting appear?
Xie Lin shook his head to dispel these strange thoughts from his mind, and then solemnly said to Luna: "Luna, your cooking skills, like your person, are unique...your creativity, your informality Yige, your unconstrained style is the most valuable thing about you. As your friend, I want to tell you, I hope you..."
"Never lose your truest self."
"Yes." Luna's eyes became brighter, and she looked directly at Xie Lin, which made Xie Lin even feel a little embarrassed and quickly found an excuse to change the topic.
Xie Lin spent a few days of leisurely time in this way, and he cherished these short days very much.
Luna's carefree, quiet and natural character and temperament deeply touched Xie Lin. It can even be said that it influenced Xie Lin, allowing him to let go of all the precautions, calculations, plans, responsibilities and burdens in his heart. Taking off the heavy shackles weighed down by his own and the expectations of others, he felt a rare spiritual relaxation.
In his previous life, he was originally a somewhat unruly and rebellious adventurer. He lived an unfettered and free adventurous life (of course he still had to listen to his sponsor, but he was still relatively free compared to social animals).
In this life, he lived a completely different life. The moment he decided to change the fate of his family, he almost embarked on the road of no return for hegemony. It must be noted here that at that time, he was still a little naive and naive in character and thinking. Although he had some psychological preparations, he did not expect that the road to hegemony would be so difficult, full of thorns and difficulties, let alone I thought there would be enemies other than Voldemort.
In the first two years, the plot did not deviate much from the original work. He gained a lot, including the magic stone, basilisk materials, servant Dobby, the broom company, as well as practical combat experience and heroic reputation.
Who knows, the further the plot goes, the more plots will deviate from the original work. All this has changed greatly after Meredith was abducted. Now, whether it is for Meredith or for the followers who have surrendered to him, on this road to hegemony, he There is no turning back.
He has already set up a flag, and he has even made enemies for himself. If he shrinks back out of fear of difficulties at this moment, perhaps his followers can still save the family after paying the price, but he himself will never end well.
Therefore, he really had to bear too much in this life.
Of course, my character has also grown a lot.
In his spare time, Xie Lin also spent a lot of time thinking about how to make good use of Ella's cabin.
Now he has several strongholds.
The secret passage of the mirror on the fifth floor is connected to the basement of the Miracle Alchemy Workshop in Hogsmeade Village. This is his most important base. All the activities, magic guidance, and practical exercises of all members of the Sleeping Dragon Society are conducted here. However, Xie Lin was well aware of the principle of the Three Cunning Rabbits. Although Xie Lin ensured the loyalty of the members by various means, in order to prevent the members from betraying due to some unexpected external reasons, Xie Lin did not control the situation he had mastered. All secret rooms are shared with members.
In his mind, he divided all members of Mianlong Club into three levels.
The first is the people he is closest to or trusts, such as Daphne, Murray, house elves, etc. These are the "core members" whose loyalty is unquestionable, so they have the authority to enter the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets. Generally, as long as it is a major or confidential project, they will choose Slytherin's secret room.
Although Narelle, a sixth grader, had also been to this secret room, she was brought directly by the elf. She did not know where the secret room was or how to enter it. Currently, in Xie Lin's view, Zhang Qiu, Susan, and Luna seem to be trustworthy. Although Xie Lin is still examining their abilities and loyalty, he is already considering promoting them to an inner circle.
The second type is the little wizards of Slytherin, who are official members. This is not because he discriminates against young wizards from other colleges, but because Slytherin, who is the original team member, has followed him for the longest time and already has a sense of belonging to the organization. Moreover, in terms of pure interests, those young wizards who are from mixed-race or weak families Snakes are Xie Lin's natural allies. As long as there are no uncontrollable factors, the chance of their rebellion is extremely low.
In addition to knowing the secret passage of the mirror on the fifth floor, these little snakes can also use Daphne or Astoria to take advantage of the opportunity to contribute to the organization in exchange for access to the organization's library or Schelling's personal guidance.
The third type is the newly joined Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw wizards, who are peripheral members. In this case, they must contribute to the organization to prove their loyalty and worth.
This requires a long period of investigation. If a betrayer really unfortunately appears and leaks the existence of the organization, all Schelling will lose is actually a secret passage on the fifth floor. He also has the suitcase space, the Slytherin Chamber, and the Ravenclaw Chamber. A backup is available.
The greater significance of Ella's cabin to Schelling is that it gives Schelling a secret base to act outside of school.
According to the development of the plot, Schelling will most likely not stay at Hogwarts until he graduates from seventh grade. So an off-campus stronghold will also come in handy.
The existence of Ella's cabin is not a secret. Almost all guests who attended Druella's funeral knew that Schelling inherited this small house. There is only one way to transform it into a secret stronghold——
The Red Bold Loyalty Charm.
The Red Loyalty Curse is an extremely complex curse with many limitations. The requirements for this spell are extremely high.
First of all, if you want to convert a **** into a **** of **** into a ****, it is a step that has extremely high requirements on the **** of ****. A **** without a ***** would basically not be able to pass this threshold.
Second, if the secret is not just a simple place name, but involves the **** itself, or the **** itself, then it will have extremely **** implications for ****’s **** ***. In the original book, Bill, the eldest son of the Weasley family, was able to cast this spell to seal the location of his married residence, Shell Cottage, in the **** of the world, allowing him to enchant people by himself.
In fact, Bill's approach is the most reasonable, optimal and safest approach to the Red Loyalty Curse - the secret keeper himself is hiding in the secret, impeccable and unbreakable.
However, this is actually due to Bill's **** experience in ****, which gave him an extremely **** understanding of ****.
In contrast, although James Potter, who had just graduated, was quite talented in football, his skills were mediocre. Otherwise, he could have set **** to ****, or ****, and then the entire Harry Potter storyline would not have started at all.
Xie Lin is confident that his magic power is definitely enough. If it is really not enough, he can also borrow the magic stone to increase his magic power. So there is absolutely no problem if he wants to cast the Loyalty Curse, but if he doesn't want to make James' mistake again, then he needs to find ways to improve his understanding of this curse.
There are not many books about the Red Dan Loyalty Curse, but Xie Lin has several books in his collection, and Xie Lin has read them all, and he has mastered all the basic theories. However, in order to pursue infallibility, he still planned to find higher-level and more profound shielding magic information, and it just so happened that the black magic book inherited from Druella's legacy contained such a book - "Cracking the Shadow" "Secrets in".
This book was written by a senior tomb robber dark wizard. It is full of information on how he used black magic, soul sacrifice, and life sacrifice to crack the shielding magic and defensive magic in various ancient tombs. It also mentioned the Red Dan Loyalty Curse, and believed that although this spell cannot be broken, it is not suitable for guarding secrets such as ancient tombs, because this curse relies too much on the secret keeper. Once the secret keeper passes away, everyone who knows the secret will automatically Become the secret keeper. If there is no one who can inherit the secret, then the magic will fail and the secret will be revealed automatically.
Of course, the value of this book does not lie in the description of the Red Loyalty Curse, but in the cracking and essence of other shielding magics that appear in the book. These are all knowledge that Schelling can refer to to enhance his understanding of the Red Loyalty Curse.
Having said that, Schelling discovered that Lovegood also had many precious magic books in his home. Most of them are the spell notes of Luna's mother Pandora. She is an excellent spell master and has created many special spells. Even Miranda Gorshak, the author of "Standard Spells", has made it public. Express your appreciation for her. Her notes on how to create the spell were also inspiring to Schelling.
Seeing Xie Lin flipping through Pandora's notes as a treasure, Luna gave the entire set of notes to Xenophilius after obtaining Xenophilius's consent.
【Pandora's Curse Note obtained! 】
Time passes day by day.
January 4th came quickly and Hogwarts started school.
