After conquering this beautiful female subordinate, and there was no need to use her for the time being, Xie Lin arranged for her to enter Ravenclaw's secret room, read Ravenclaw's rich collection of books, and Xie Lin had asked her in advance. The house elf has collected mainstream newspapers from various European countries in recent years, allowing her to grasp the latest situation in the wizarding world as quickly as possible, increase her magical knowledge, and pass her time.
The last point was especially important. Thinking of the strange look in her eyes with strong emotions when she looked at him, Xie Lin made up his mind not to have frequent contact with her for the time being. Food, daily necessities, etc. are delivered to her regularly by house elves.
Sulf still lacks a wand, but as a person of unknown origin, there may be some problems if she wants to buy a wand from public channels. After all, Xie Lin does not want to expose her existence too quickly.
Fortunately, when Schelling was in second grade, he once seized a basilisk horn from the corpse of a basilisk, and he also owned an herbal medicine trading company that held an international trade permit approved by the Ministry of Magic. Under the Apparition led by Dobby, he found his partner Ali Bashir, whom he had not seen for a long time, and had a meeting with him.
Ever since Ali and Xie Lin got together, with a steady stream of financial support and the green light from the Department of International Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic, he could be said to be prospering and living a comfortable life. Compared with the depressed mood in the original work (the introduction of flying carpets was blocked and failed), in this world he has successfully opened up the situation in the international trade world. He is already considered a celebrity in various European countries, even as far away as Africa, North America and South America. , he is also somewhat famous.
Ali was extremely grateful to Schelling. Although he had a unique business vision and a keen sense of future trends, he lacked political means and the wisdom to make connections, which led to his failure in the past. In his experience, he often encounters a dilemma like this - he clearly has his sights on a lucrative market, but is often stuck in the legal provisions of the authority that do not allow it to be released, and can only watch the business opportunity slip away from his hands. .
Since reaching a cooperation agreement with Xie Lin, he felt that it was the wisest decision he had ever made in his life. It was a turning point in his destiny and the cornerstone of his steady rise to success. So when he knew that Xie Lin had something to do for him, he made Xie Lin's matter his first priority without saying a word.
Xie Lin asked him to do two things. They were not difficult, especially for him today. They just required him to travel across continents, which was quite time-consuming.
The first thing is to go to North America to collect the best snake wood for him to use for making staffs. Yes, since Sulf is a snake whisperer, then obviously, the wand made of snake wood and basilisk horn will be the most suitable for her. From the history of Hogwarts, we can know that one of the four founders of Hogwarts was The first Slytherin used a snake-wood snake-horned wand. When paired with his use of snake language to cast snake language magic, he was simply invincible. The snakewood used by Slytherin to make his staff was found by him across the Atlantic Ocean in North America.
The wood used for making canes is actually different from ordinary wood. In addition to the requirements for the age of the tree as the source of the wood, a skilled staff maker can even infer its magical conductivity from the lines on the wood, so not every branch growing on the snakewood tree is suitable for use. To make the stick body.
For example, there is a snakewood tree within the grounds of Ilvermorny School. This snakewood tree was planted unintentionally by the founder with Slytherin's wand in the early 17th century. The tree is less than 4 centuries old. , it can only be considered barely qualified when used to make a staff body.
The snakewood that Xie Lin entrusted Ali to collect must have dark golden lines on it, which means that the tree must be no less than 6 centuries old, and the quality of thousand-year-old snakewood is the most ideal.
The second thing is to go to South America and sign an exclusive European agency agreement with the Pollachi Alchemy Factory in Peru, specifically responsible for the sales of Peruvian dark powder in Europe.
This product was eventually introduced by the Weasley twins in the original work. Because it was very suitable as a tool for escape, it became a hot-selling product during the period when Voldemort and Death Eaters were raging. As long as Alibaba signs the exclusive agency rights before the war starts and eliminates all competitors, then this will be a hugely profitable business.
After bidding farewell to Ali, Sherrin returned to Hogwarts, but received a report from Daphne. Since the head of the Ghost Society and the children of several pure-blood families disappeared, and Draco deliberately faded out of the public eye, There is almost a consensus within Slytherin - Schelling must be respected!
Even if there are still a few students who are loyal to the Selwyn family, the Foley family, etc. and form another faction within Slytherin, with their meager number and appeal, they can no longer make a difference. It can be said that more than 80% of the students in Slytherin House have followed Xie Lin's lead.
In the Slytherin chamber, Xie Lin sat firmly on the throne on the seventh-step high platform, like a powerful king, looking down at the six people standing under the high platform with indifferent eyes.
Under the high platform, three men and three women stood upright and respectfully, with their heads lowered and their eyebrows lowered. If anyone else were here, they would be surprised to find that all the prefects of Slytherin House are gathered here. Some of them were originally prefects, and some were new prefects who replaced the students who disappeared recently.
The new ones are Guile Pisgood, the 7th grade male prefect, Venia Pillsworth, the 7th grade female prefect, and Narelle Wankanda, the 6th grade female prefect.
The original prefects were Cassius Warrington, the 6th grade male prefect, Terrence Higgs, the 5th grade male prefect, and Serona Osbot, the 5th grade female prefect.
Guile's father, Arnold Peacegood, was originally a memory canceller in the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters. He had recently been miraculously promoted successively and was now the captain of the Law Enforcement Reconnaissance Team, with control over the reconnaissance team and the strike force. Two powerful hands.
Venia's father, Bernie Pillsworth, was originally a staff member in charge of weather spells in the maintenance department of the Ministry of Magic (each window and ceiling in the Ministry of Magic can display a different climate, which is actually the effect of weather spells), and also Suddenly he was promoted to the head of the intelligence department in the Auror logistics force, and had control over all the investigators, informants and intelligence sources in the Auror department.
Mrs. Wankanda's position in the Ministry of Magic has not changed as before. She is still the director of the Office for the Abuse of Magic. However, with the deliberate support of some senior officials in the Ministry of Magic, the power of this office has become more and more powerful. Young wizards who violated the International Secrecy Law and the Trace Alert were warned. She heard that Willy Widdershin, who had caused many incidents of toilet sewage backflow, had been sent to Azkaban by her. It is said that Mrs. Wankanda's former boss, Umbridge, tried to intervene in the matter in order to exonerate Widdershin, but in the end Mrs. Wankanda sternly refused.
The Warrington family had fully surrendered to the Malfoy family very early on (when Cassius attached himself to Draco). After Schelling resolved his differences with Draco, Cassius, who had the power of a prefect, also turned to Schelling under Draco's arrangement. The strength of the Warrington family is only at the bottom among pure-blood families, but Cassius's own strength is not bad, which can be seen from the fact that he was selected as the Slytherin representative to participate in Merlin's test a few years ago.
Terrence and Schelling first established a relationship. His father was originally the director of the Pest Consultation Division of the Department of Biological Management and Control. Now he has been promoted to the position of director of the exotic branch. All exotic creatures in the UK are under his control, such as horses. He manages the Human Liaison Office, Goblin Liaison Office, House Elf Resettlement Office, Werewolf Registration Office, and Vampire Registration Office. Under his arrangement, all the information and records of Schelling's house elves, werewolves, vampires, and hags were destroyed, as if they no longer existed in Great Britain.
(Note: The Department of Biological Management and Control is the second largest administrative agency of the Ministry of Magic. There are three levels of job levels: the Director has the most power and leads the entire Department; the three Directors are ranked second and each supervises a branch; the following are the turns. to directors of major offices)
The Osbot family from which Serona was born was originally a subsidiary family of the Malfoy family. Her great-great-grandfather, Onckesus Osbot, served as Minister for Magic from 1789 to 1798, but in fact he was just a puppet of Schelling's tenth-generation ancestor, Thaddeus Malfoy. At that time, many people in the wizarding world believed that Osbert was just a puppet of Malfoy, and that Thaddeus Malfoy was the de facto leader of the Ministry of Magic.
Now, as the Malfoy family rises again in the political world, the Osbot family, which has gradually faded out of politics, has once again entered the public eye. Serona's father, Onksos II, has entered the Department of Biological Management and Control and became a beast. As the director of the animal branch, he is responsible for the breeding, research and trade of all animal species in the UK. Under his arrangement, the Greengrass family was approved for several projects to cultivate new species of magical creatures, including the pygmy cattail.
The purpose of these six prefects coming here this time is self-evident. They represent not only themselves, but also the attitudes of their families.
After they swore allegiance to Schelling, Schelling planted a seal of magic on each of them. A pure black dragon-shaped coat of arms was engraved on each of their arms, and the sculpture on it was lifelike. The black dragon spread its wings, opened its teeth and claws, as if it was about to fly.
The basic principle of this curse seal magic was learned from "Advanced Dark Magic Revealed", and it was originally the same magic as Voldemort's "Dark Mark". However, Schelling was not satisfied with the function and deterrence of the Dark Mark, which is why he put aside what he was doing and chose to intercept the curse on Sulf first.
In his opinion, the blood curse on Sulf was much more intimidating than the Mark of the Dark Devil. According to Schelling's guess, Salf's predecessor, Nagini, was probably a subordinate of a dark wizard hiding in Borneo in Southeast Asia. The blood curse on his body should be just a means for the dark wizard to ensure the loyalty of his subordinates, because Nagini Gini left Borneo privately, so he could only rely on his own magic to suppress the onset of the curse, but in the end he failed and turned into a snake.
After he studied the "Gorgon's Curse" intercepted from Sulf, he merged the characteristics of the two magics into one and created this new curse seal magic, which he named "The Mark of the Sleeping Dragon" ".
In addition to being able to track the location of the curse holder at any time and using specific spells to summon all the curse holders to gather together, the Mark of the Sleeping Dragon can also be used as a spell caster like the Dark Mark. Schelling took control of their lives and deaths. No matter when and where they are, a single thought from Schelling can completely turn them into beasts, turning them into irrational and inhuman beasts. This almost eliminates the possibility of betrayal by these people.
Xie Lin also knew that he was not omniscient and omnipotent, and the possibility of a traitor who was lucky enough not to be discovered still existed, so Xie Lin also put in another layer of insurance - the forbidden word curse. If anyone outside Xie Lin's secret base utters the word "Sleeping Dragon", Xie Lin will sense it, which means that there is a leaker in the organization.
Of course, these are just additional means. Xie Lin knew very well that the most reliable method is often a close relationship of interest. Only by tightly tying the interests of these people's families to their own chariots and forming an alliance in which everyone will be prosperous and everyone will suffer losses, then unless these people Be willing to sacrifice your entire family, otherwise the chance of betrayal is slim.
Although these prefects are only six people, they each have their own connections and supporters. Their submission also marks that Slytherin has officially entered an era dominated and controlled by Schelling.
Xie Lin arranged for them all to enter Mianlong Club and began to recruit senior students for him. These students will graduate in a few years. At that time, they can be arranged to enter various corners of the business and political circles for internships and become Xie Lin's mentor in the world outside school. Help.
