"Don't you remember anything?" Xie Lin stared into her eyes as deep as the stars and said slowly.
The woman frowned slightly, as if thinking for a moment, shook her head slightly, and said softly: "I can't remember anything. But I know that our conversation was in English, and you and I are both wizards..."
A gleam flashed in Xie Lin's eyes. Just as he expected, the woman's memory of past experiences had been lost in the process of soul reshaping, but her knowledge and cognition had been retained. This was the most ideal state for herself. .
"Since you don't remember anything, your past identity is no longer important," Xie Lin said solemnly: "And since you still remember the existence of magic, it should not be difficult for you to guess your current state. You were tricked in the past. An extremely terrible curse caused the entire soul to be polluted and completely lose its self-awareness and humanity. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are still alive but dead. It took me two bottles of extremely precious potion ingredients to save you. , Strictly speaking, I am your savior and your reincarnated parent——"
After the soul is separated, the next step is to select a suitable Horcrux and infuse the soul into it. Any item can be made into a Horcrux, but along with the transfer of the soul, extremely powerful spells are needed to protect one's Horcrux, as well as enough magic power to support the completion of the entire transfer process.
This means that even if a dark wizard is evil enough to split his soul, he will not be able to successfully create a Horcrux without strong enough power.
The book specifically emphasizes that dark wizards must properly protect their Horcruxes. The damage to the Horcrux will definitely affect the main soul, making the already extremely unstable main soul even more fragmented. The most direct consequence is that the dark wizard loses his mind and gradually goes crazy. And his power will not be affected. On the contrary, because the soul has become evil enough, he will be more comfortable in using black magic.
The woman nodded slightly, indicating that she understood that what Xie Lin said was true. Although she had lost a lot of memories, her knowledge about magic was still intact. Before she completely and irreversibly transformed into a beast, she had also stayed in the Arcanus Circus where strange people gathered. She had knowledge far beyond that of ordinary wizards. Life debt was not an unfamiliar magic theory to her. (She has no memory of her time in the circus, but retains the knowledge she learned there)
She looked back and forth at Xie Lin's handsome face several times with scrutinizing eyes, and then looked down at her exquisite figure. She vaguely remembered a story she had heard in a Far Eastern country about a snake demon repaying kindness. , suddenly raised his head and showed a meaningful smile, "Then, how should I repay you?"
Coincidentally, Xie Lin didn't know why but he also remembered the same story about the snake demon repaying a favor. He shook his head gently to dispel these strange thoughts in his mind, and then said: "I happen to be short of an assistant. I will sign an agreement with you." Servant contract, you serve me as my master and serve me for ten years. After ten years, you can regain your freedom. You can leave or stay according to your heart, how about it?"
The woman's smile became even weirder. This smile paired with her peach-like eyes and the graceful "snake face" made her look extremely charming. Xie Lin couldn't help but have the phrase "beauties bring disaster" floating in his mind.
"Okay." The woman walked up to Xie Lin, knelt down gracefully on the ground, gently raised her two jade hands above her head, and said softly: "I do."
Shearing was a little embarrassed. He didn't know which country's culture this was, because as far as he knew, except for Dumbledore and Grindelwald, two passionate enemies, they had to hold each other's fingers tightly when making a magical contract. In addition, normal wizards only need a simple handshake to establish a magical contract.
Fortunately, he was a thick-skinned person in his two lives. He stretched out his right hand without blushing and gently held the woman's boneless hand. The woman's hands immediately wrapped around Xie Lin's like a spiritual snake. On the right wrist.
Xie Lin's mouth twitched, turning a blind eye to the woman's actions, and whispered an ancient and long mantra.
This is not an "unbreakable contract", but a time-sensitive magic contract. The advantage is that it does not require the presence of witnesses. The disadvantage is that the magic contract will gradually expire over time. With Xie Lin's magic value and the ability to deal with it at the moment, The attainment of contract magic can only lead to a ten-year magic contract at most.
After the contract magic ended, an extra snake-shaped ring appeared on each of their fingers. The ring was in the shape of an ouroboros connected end to end. They were the rings of the extra ring on the ring finger of Xie Lin's right hand (i.e. The snake body) is black, and the eyes of the snake's head are faintly flashing with red light. The extra ring on the ring finger of the woman's right hand is light green, and the eyes of the snake's head are faintly flashing with white light.
"The contract is completed! In order to celebrate your new life," Xie Lin said piously and solemnly: "Your name must be given here. Since you were reborn from the snake curse, your name will be Shalf. (sarff) it!”
(Note: Salve means snake in the Welsh English name)
"Yes, Sulf knows." The woman smiled sweetly, obviously satisfied with her new name.
After making the magic contract, Sulf's fat-like skin suddenly seemed to be covered with a layer of gold powder, exuding a faint golden halo. Xie Lin knew that this was a phenomenon caused by the magic in her blood being stimulated. .
Under the observation of the magic eyes, Sulf's magic power increased at an alarming speed, until it reached the level of an adult wizard before gradually slowing down, and finally stopped abruptly when it just touched the threshold of the Auror level. (This means that her magic power is not enough to reach the Auror level, so it can be called "quasi-Auror level" for the time being)
"Ahem, here we must first explain the rules between our master and servant," Xie Lin calmed down his expression and said seriously: "Although the master-servant contract just made is not as strong as the 'Unbreakable Contract' , but you'd better not underestimate its backlash. The ring that appears on your finger is a bridge connecting our master and servant, and you cannot take it off."
"This ring allows me to locate your position at any time, and it also forces your heart to be open to me without any defense. It allows me to see into all your thoughts and sense all your emotional changes at any time, and it also allows me to ignore it. Any distance in space, conveying my thoughts or orders to you through telepathy."
"Because of the master-servant oath, you cannot disobey my will or my orders. If you forcefully do something that violates the order or you know that it will be detrimental to me, then you will be repulsed by the oath. Humph, trust me, you don’t want to know the taste of backlash..."
Schelling's inspiration for creating this contract magic actually came from the connection between Voldemort and Nagini in the original work. In the original book, after Voldemort made Nagini into a Horcrux, he could not only share Nagini's perspective, but also order it from a distance to assassinate Arthur Weasley at the Ministry of Magic and ambush Harry at Bagshot's house. This ability was revealed by Schelling But I was very greedy. This is almost equivalent to having an unlimited time limit to deal with things.
"If I'm not wrong," Schelling said slowly: "Because of Gorgon's serpentine curse, although the power of the curse on you has been removed by me, I guess the abilities conferred by the curse are not It didn’t disappear, right? You don’t have to hide it from me, as I just said, your thoughts and emotions are clear to me, there are no secrets. "
"Huh," Sulf pouted her cute little cherry lips with some dissatisfaction, "I didn't mean to hide it from you at all, it's just you who thinks so. I'm just not sure about the magic ability I have now... Well, let me try first..."
After saying that, she closed her eyes and carefully sensed the magic power in her body. After a while, her whole body suddenly shrank and turned into a giant green snake that was twelve feet long and as thick as an adult man's thigh.
Sure enough, as Xie Lin expected, she received the Animagus talent of turning into a giant snake without studying.
After Sulf returned to her human form, she showed a proud expression to Xuelin, opened her mouth and let out bursts of hissing sounds. It turned out that she had also mastered the talent of snake whisperer!
"Very good," Xie Lin nodded with satisfaction, "Your talent is very valuable to me, by the way -"
Xie Lin showed a conspiratorial smile, "This master-servant contract allows me to share your magic and talent regardless of distance, so as long as I need it, I can call on your magic at any time, and I also own you. Animagus and snake whisperer abilities!"
This is Xie Lin’s biggest gain today!
Not only did he directly obtain two rare and profound skills for nothing (Snake Whisperer and Animagus can actually be acquired by spending time and energy, but it is quite time-consuming and laborious), but also after he invoked Sha After Alf's magic, his magic will directly step into the level of Auror! If he had been prepared in advance and had the right tactical combination, he would even dare to face elite Aurors head-on, and he would still have a good chance of winning!
["Servant" Sulf is obtained! 】
["Snake Whisperer Bloodline Talent" obtained! 】
[Acquisition of "Serpentine Animagus"! 】
