When Xie Lin said that sentence, his original intention was just to show his absolute confidence in his own strength, and had no other intention.
However, he underestimated his attraction to women.
His family background and appearance are already extraordinary, and the powerful strength he displays is even more admirable. The confidence he inadvertently revealed in his understatement just now made Eleanor feel inexplicably at this moment. A sense of security.
Eleanor's eyes were extremely hot at the moment. She came from a well-educated family and her family had always placed high hopes on her as an heir. Therefore, she had been extremely strong since she was a child and had extremely high requirements for choosing a mate. Those pure-blooded dandies in Durmstrang She doesn't look down on any of her children. In her heart, she had originally planned to remain without a partner for the rest of her life, focus on inheriting the family, and become a strong woman who would lead the family to glory.
Because, in her heart, if she wants to be her partner, she must be able to act like a little girl, so that she can rely on her with peace of mind when facing the pressure and helplessness of life. To do this, one must be stronger than her in terms of mind, means, connections, and strength.
Although Xie Lin was 2 and a half years younger than her, Eleanor did not reject Xie Lin. Xie Lin's masculinity and mature male charm are definitely stronger than any 7th grade boy Eleanor has ever seen. When talking and playing games with Xie Lin, Eleanor sometimes even had the illusion that she was having a verbal test and confrontation with a high-ranking pure-blood family head.
Look at Poliarco, this best friend of the opposite sex who has a close relationship with her, actually comes from a famous family in Eastern Europe. There are various alliances with intertwined interests between the two families, so the two have known each other since they were children. Played together. However, he is a bohemian and disobedient person. In terms of personal strength and mental means, he is like a little brother. He can even have a meal or a drink with terrible manners, which makes the whole school almost useless. Several people looked up to him. If it weren't for Eleanor's relationship, it was still unknown whether he would be selected as one of Durmstrang's 12 representatives and come to Hogwarts.
Look at Krum, the big star in the school. He has a gloomy face all day long, as if the whole world owes him. He acts alone in the school like a lone wolf, let alone making connections and forming relationships. As a follower, he probably doesn't even have a close friend. In the eyes of pure-blood families, no matter how strong an individual's strength is, it is insignificant, and society's resources are often controlled by intricate small circles. Even someone as powerful as Voldemort had to use his personal charm to win over the first batch of most loyal followers when he was in school. Krum, on the other hand, relied on his own fame and Karkaroff's preference to protect him. No one in the school looked down upon him, and he really thought he was an extraordinary person.
The only problem that made Eleanor hesitate was that Schelling already had a female companion.
Although the wizarding world has a limited population, in order to encourage births, wizarding governments in various countries have adopted a very relaxed attitude towards marriage laws, especially for pure-blood families, the major taxpayers who are the main sponsors of the Ministry of Magic. In fact, polygamy is It is not uncommon among these families, but it is rarely made public in the eyes of ordinary wizards. (The world of the original book is always written from the perspective of Harry, a wizard born in the Muggle world. He has very little contact with the upper class of wizarding society. In his opinion, Auror may already be the highest-level profession in wizarding society. .)
However, what is Eleanor's identity? She is the legitimate daughter of the most powerful Hohenheim family in Germany and Sweden. She is the person designated as the next head of the family. If she is asked to share the same husband with other girls, it will undoubtedly be a setback. It would damage her prestige in the family, and even cause accidents in her original position as head of the family. She knew that several branches of the family, her cousins, also had many ambitious people.
unless--
Schelling can reach the height of disregarding all social rules, at least as powerful as Dumbledore in his heyday. In that case, even if he just becomes one of his lovers, this status is enough to become a strong support.
"Do you know..." Eleanor bit her lower lip gently, "When you said this, you were so powerful and domineering..." She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled mischievously. : "No wonder you can seduce so many girls and make them devote themselves to you..."
"Ah -" Xie Lin didn't expect Eleanor to suddenly change the topic here, so she could only say: "You said Daphne and the others..." Thinking of his girlfriends, Xie Lin's mouth curved up at a happy angle, "I thought The path I want to take is not worthy of any personal feelings, but they can tolerate me infinitely, even when I am at my most depraved... Hey, speaking of which, I am indeed very lucky, they are all very beautiful and good girls. , being able to win their love is the greatest blessing in my life."
"What about me?" Soon after speaking, Eleanor suddenly took a step forward, leaned her body gently against Xie Lin, and said in a charming and low-pitched voice: "You think I...beautiful ?"
Because Eleanor's clothes were very thin, after her plump and delicate body pressed against Xie Lin, the soft touch came through the thin gauze skirt, and a bright red appeared on her delicate face, and her bright and watery eyes Once again, a layer of water mist with a moving brilliance enveloped it.
Xie Lin subconsciously avoided her eyes. When he lowered his head, he saw a pair of snow-white peaks at the opening of her low gauze tube top. His heart began to beat wildly and uncontrollably again, and there was a burst of pain in his chest. Feeling depressed and empty, Xie Lin closed his eyes and said softly: "Of course you are beautiful, and you are no worse than any girl I know."
"Since you said that I am no worse than anyone else..." Eleanor seemed to have made up her mind to go all out. She reached out her hands and gently touched Schelling's face, and whispered: "Don't talk about human alchemy, all of Hohenheim's I can leave the inheritance to you, as long as you become my husband... I know you have other female companions, but I don't mind their existence. I can even promise you that I will never come to Great Britain to cause trouble for you. Focus on I will be your foreign lover in Germany, waiting for you to come to me and spend a good time together..."
To be honest, it would be a lie to say that Xie Lin was not tempted at this moment. There are few people in this world who can resist the combination of beauty and power.
However, whenever Sherin thinks about adding the role of a girlfriend to his already complicated emotional world, the figures of Daphne, Maury, Astoria, Meredith, and others will flash in his mind. The unquestionable trust on their faces.
Each of them got to know Xie Lin when he was still a young man. They accompanied Xie Lin all the way and they could be said to never leave him. Meredith even didn't know whether she was alive or dead, waiting for Sherlyn to save her. It would be extremely unfair to each of them if he easily allowed a new woman to get involved in his emotional world.
Xie Lin sighed heavily, reached out and gently pushed Eleanor away from his arms.
"Eleanor, thank you very much for your love for me," Schelling looked directly into her eyes and said unwaveringly: "You are a good girl, and you deserve a better partner than me."
"I can share the Book of Truth with you," Xie Lin said slowly: "As for your family's core inheritance, it would be best if you could exchange it. If it really doesn't work, I won't force it. I just hope you can keep in mind our relationship. We have made a covenant not to do anything that harms the interests of the Malfoy family..."
Eleanor bit her lower lip tightly. She finally got the Book of Truth promised by Xie Lin. She also knew that there was no need for someone with Xie Lin's status to lie to her about this matter, but for some reason, she didn't have that feeling in her heart. The excitement of getting what you want is filled with bitterness and loss. But she was worthy of being a strong woman who wanted to be the head of the family. She took a long breath and tried her best to calm down, and her eyes regained their former shrewd look.
"Okay," Eleanor said solemnly: "I can make a contract here. As long as it does not harm the interests of the Hohenheim family, the Hohenheim family will form an alliance with the Malfoy family from generation to generation. The Malfoy family is the leader. Zhan, use the family’s manpower and material resources to coordinate all actions of the Malfoy family without limit.”
The two of them each stretched out a hand and held it together. Both of them were at the level of high-level alchemists, so naturally they had to use the unique method of alchemists to form an alliance.
An alchemical formation in the shape of an eyeball first appeared on the back of Eleanor's white hand, flashing with dazzling golden light. Xie Lin recognized it as the famous "Eye of Horus" in the Egyptian alchemy school; Xie Lin Lin smiled, and not to be outdone, a black dragon head pattern with red outside and black inside appeared on the back of his hand, with a faint violent aura flowing on it.
The Eye of Horus and the black dragon head seemed to come to life at the same time, "swimming" towards the place where the two shook hands, intertwined, and burst out with a bright light, causing the surrounding area to suddenly fall into a blinding white.
"Ah," Eleanor exclaimed, and an extremely strong suction force suddenly appeared at the handshake between the two, causing Xie Lin and Eleanor to hug each other in a somewhat awkward position.
The bright light dispersed.
The two separated again.
Eleanor's face was blushing shyly, and Schelling's face was also burning.
This was definitely an accident.
This was supposed to be just a battle of alchemy in showy form. Neither of them thought that the encounter between their alchemical skills would produce such an embarrassing effect.
Xie Lin looked at the back of his hand, and a black dragon-head-shaped key appeared on it, while a lock appeared on the back of Eleanor's hand. On the lock was the Eye of Horus, which was strange. The overall shape of the entire lock is heart-shaped.
Xie Lin coughed twice and said: "The contract is established. From now on, Malfoy and the Hohenheim family will enter into an alliance to advance and retreat together and protect each other."
[Acquired by the "ally" Hohenheim family! 】
Eleanor seemed a little distracted and she said a soft "hmm" in an almost inaudible voice.
"Then..." Xie Lin looked at her face and made up his mind to leave here as soon as possible, "Since everything has been resolved and your people are not feeling well yet, I'd better leave without disturbing you and you can have a good rest. I wish you a speedy recovery."
"Wait a minute," Eleanor said hastily when she saw Schelling was about to leave.
"What's wrong?" Schelling asked.
"Our covenant has been concluded, but I have not yet thanked you for your kindness in rescuing me and your kindness in giving me such a precious potion."
"Aren't they all the same?" Xie Lin raised his eyebrows.
"It's different," Eleanor shook her head lightly, "The family is the family, and I am me. Although you said you would save me for the sake of the friendly alliance between the two families, I still want to thank you in my own name. Thank you, Sherin."
"Okay, I accept your thanks," Xie Lin said with a smile, "To be honest, even if we didn't join, we don't need to be so polite. We are friends, right? On the day of the battle at the bottom of the lake, I already Treat you as a friend."
Eleanor did not answer, but lowered her head and stared at the heart-shaped lock pattern on the back of her hand, as if thinking about something. She suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashing with determination, "I understand-"
"I like you, even though it's inexplicable, but I just like you. It's your right to refuse to be with me, but you don't refuse my right to like you -"
"I want to tell you now that I want to pursue you. This has nothing to do with family, inheritance, or alliance. At this moment-" Eleanor's eyes were shining, and even Xie Lin had to be attracted by her. Shaken by the momentum, "I'm just a little girl who wants to take control of her own happiness. I don't want to miss it, and I don't want to regret it for the rest of my life -"
"So -" Eleanor showed a sly smile, "Whether you like me or not, I am determined to pursue you!"
After saying that, without waiting for Xie Lin to recover from this domineering confession, she took the initiative to greet Xie Lin, kissed Xie Lin hard on the lips, then quickly turned around and jumped back to the bed, Pull up the quilt and cover your whole body including your head.
Xie Lin touched his lips that were a little sore from being forcefully kissed, and then looked at the culprit who was already hiding under the quilt without showing his face. He could only helplessly smile bitterly, leave the words "I'm leaving", and then closed the door. Come and leave.
