At this moment, Schelling's brain was like an overclocked computer, accurately listing dozens of possibilities in his mind within a few seconds, and eliminating these possibilities one by one within a few seconds.
This is Hogwarts, where Dumbledore is based, and has countless ancient protective magics. Even though the number of outsiders in the school has increased due to the Triwizard Tournament, not everyone can You can sneak in easily.
Not to mention, the Durmstrang ship Schelling was on was one of only two ghost ships in the world. The defense mechanism and naval combat capabilities on the ship were enough to allow them to roam the seas for centuries. Ministry of Magic all over the world are in the same situation.
According to Karkaroff, this large ship was built by Durmstrang's founder and first principal, Narida Fukanova, in the 10th century. Later, in the 15th century, it even received the title of With the assistance of a team of alchemists serving the Holy Roman Empire, a large amount of imperial resources were spent and a large number of improvements were made. Finally, the famous female alchemist Tess Barbara of Oettiingen personally made this The ship is engraved with water mirrors to transmit magic.
There are at least more than 600 magic spells arranged on top and bottom of this big ship for warning and defense. It can be said that the defense in every corner is airtight. Karkaroff even proudly said that this big ship Even if compared to the likes of Hogwarts and Nurmengard, its own defense is not much inferior. Since the ship was built, there have been countless powerful dark wizards who have coveted it, but there has never been a precedent for it being breached or infiltrated by outsiders.
It cannot be broken by ordinary outsiders.
Not Eleanor.
Not Karkaroff.
Not other Durmstrang students.
Since Voldemort was able to sneak into Nurmengard in his heyday, he naturally had the strength to sneak into this ship, but now he is just a lingering soul; Dumbledore certainly has the strength, but he does not have the motivation to deal with it. Himself, and using a female student who has just grown up to perform a honey trap is not his style.
After all impossibilities have been eliminated, the only remaining option, no matter how ridiculous it sounds, will undoubtedly be the closest to true inference.
Xie Lin gently touched his forehead, shook his head helplessly, and showed an extremely bitter smile.
It’s here again, it’s here again, it’s here again, what’s wrong with this world, what has he done to offend someone, how come he always encounters trouble wherever he goes!
Xie Lin just wants to make some investment to make some money, get a few beautiful girlfriends, and get a few reputations as capital to brag to his children and grandchildren in the future, and by the way, he also wants to maintain the glory of the family. Except for those who stand in his way. Apart from Voldemort, he never wanted to cause any trouble, but why did trouble always come back to him?
Xie Lin sighed heavily, and in the blink of an eye, the wand appeared in his hand, as fast as if the wand was already there. The wand was raised with his arm and pointed at the only source of light in the room, the round porthole with a screen.
"Should I be happy or unhappy..." Xie Lin's eyes flashed with a captivating light, and he said coldly: "I don't know what honor I, Xie Lin, have, to be able to meet the rumored Your majesty, forever hidden in the mist, leaving only his name and legend—"
"The captain of the legendary ghost ship Flying Dutchman, the leader of the pirate family alliance that dominates the seven seas, the emperor who is titled the contemporary 'Pirate King'——"
"His Excellency the Pirate King Barbarossa."
A figure slowly emerged in the dim light. This is a tall and burly man with bronze skin, short black greasy hair, and a small braid at the back. He is wearing a short-sleeved leather vest with a large number of tattoos on his exposed arms and face.
"How did you know it was me?" The man confessed his identity. His English has a thick Latin American accent.
After confirming the identity of his opponent, Xie Lin's face became more solemn. The man in front of him had a terrifying record of defeating dozens of elite Aurors in the United States at sea a century ago. What's even more terrifying is that this man's character, magic, and His fighting style, magic level and other information are all mysterious and unknown. Everything about him seems to be hidden in the mist, and no one has ever known it.
If it weren't for the fact that the head of the Carlo family had given Schelling a list of pure-blood families involved with Walpurgis, Schelling might not have even heard of his name.
The Pirate Family is a very special pure-blood family. It is actually an alliance of several European and American pure-blood families, so they do not have a unified surname. The seven sea areas are controlled by seven pirate lords, and the seven sea areas are controlled by seven pirate lords. The strongest one among them will inherit the title of "pirate king".
"The people of Durmstrang will not be my enemy," Schelling said calmly. Three rings appeared from the void on the fingers of his right hand holding the wand, each of which triggered invisible magic power under the infusion of magic power. Fluctuating, "It is impossible for the two contemporary wizards who have become great magisters to appear on this ship at this moment. Then, there is only one person left in this world who has the ability to board this ship without alarming anyone. ——”
"You also own a ghost ship. You are well aware of the ghost ship's defense weaknesses and can easily break through the ghost ship's defense."
"So," Barbarossa's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "A traitor has appeared in the organization, leaking my existence, and you already know about my relationship with Walpurgis."
"Tsk tsk," Schelling smiled, "As expected of the Walpurgis. Being able to recruit the first family of France and the first family of Germany to serve it is enough to open my eyes. Now even the pirate family is willing to do so. The ground surrendered to it, and I had to wonder if—"
Xie Lin's voice suddenly turned cold, "After defeating you, the real master will die personally?"
Barbarossa shook his head gently, "You don't have any chance. Although you have seen through the trap here, you should have thought that in such a small space, I cannot give you a chance to escape alive. .”
Xie Lin frowned, seeing what he meant, he didn't take himself seriously at all. With the strength he showed in the Triwizard Tournament, even an elite Auror would not be able to despise him so much. Could it be——
No way?
Besides Voldemort and Dumbledore, is there a third great wizard in the world?
While Xie Lin was still thinking about what the other party meant, Barbarossa snorted coldly, and the magic power in his body surged out. Under Xie Lin's observation with his magic eyes, the magic power in Barbarossa's body was like a rough sea. The turbulent waves with astonishing momentum climbed steadily, and did not stop until they approached the threshold of the Grand Mage. He was actually at the level of a quasi-magister!
A quasi-magister, that is about the same level as Armand II, but firstly, the body of Draco he possessed at the time restricted his performance, and secondly, he was there because he was worried about hurting Schelling's body. If you hold back during the battle, the enemy in front of you will not have the same concerns as before, which means that this battle will be more difficult than before.
But at the same time, Xie Lin had just harvested Salv's innate abilities, and had also concluded a magic contract with her to share magic power. In other words, Xie Lin was much more powerful than before.
