The two-week Easter break is quickly coming to an end, and little wizards and wizards suffering from procrastination can be seen everywhere in the library and common room starting to catch up on their homework.
In the past two weeks, Schelling and Sulf have perfectly mastered the six serpentine magics left by Slytherin.
Xie Lin's temperament is very different from before.
In the past, Xie Lin was like a cultivated, humble, courteous, and elegant nobleman. Although his reputation and strength made people awe and look up to him, this never diluted his approachable temperament in the slightest. I still remember how many girls plucked up the courage to ask him for dance partner invitations during the Christmas dance a few months ago. He never said anything harsh or showed any signs of impatience, but instead spoke softly and gently. reject.
At this moment, Xie Lin has practiced the serpentine magic that tends to be gloomy and dark, and the power that touches the highest level of the wizarding world - space magic. These two magics not only affect his character, but are also reflected in his external appearance. Temperamentally.
The aura that faintly exudes from him is a bit like the charm halo he implanted on the Supreme Wizard's robe long ago, which enhances his personal charm, but it is not the same. Even the girls closest to him couldn't accurately describe the changes in him in words.
To be honest, he has become even more "evil" than before.
His temperament makes everyone around him inexplicably feel like spring breeze and feel happy, making people unconsciously feel close to him, making people eager to get closer to him, to contact him more deeply, and to understand him more deeply. . If this is nothing, every word he said seemed to have some kind of magic power, making it sound reasonable and making people feel obedient. Once it appeared in their hearts, If you don't agree even a little bit, you will feel guilty inexplicably, and you will feel as if you have done a great sin. But once you follow Schelling's words, you will feel inexplicably happy.
To describe it in Daphne's words, just as a natural telepathic master regards "Legilimency" as a spontaneous passive skill, Xie Lin regards "Imperius Curse" as a permanent passive skill.
If he had been exposed to the "moon and star movement" before, Xie Lin would have been very distressed at this moment. Because this kind of temperament will definitely cause him great trouble. Not to mention Dumbledore, even Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick will most likely sense that something is wrong. No matter how much they liked Schelling, they couldn't let him be among the crowd. This ability, which is almost like a cult brainwashing, appeared in Grindelwald 70 years ago. No one can easily forget how much trouble his innate ability to easily "inspire people" brought to the wizarding world around the world. .
However, at this moment, Schelling no longer took it seriously.
It was an indescribably strange feeling.
On the day when Xie Lin realized that "the moon turns and the stars move", the moment he closed his eyes, he felt the call from the dark.
It was as if the power of fate had been forced upon him.
The destiny in the dark seems to be divided into two, causing the trajectory of fate to appear strange - fate is no longer a predetermined one-way, but depends on future changes. All the predictions that have appeared in the wizarding world in the past have changed. will be invalidated, and the time magic that peeks into the future will also fail...
His own destiny is finally in his own hands.
Even as wise as Dumbledore and as powerful as Voldemort, they cannot resist the advancement of the Wheel of Fortune. As they are not "children of destiny", they can only sadly and blindly believe in the vague so-called prophecies, but they are still unable to escape the mercy of fate. Schelling had surpassed them all at this point.
It’s time to advance Sleeping Dragon Society to the second stage.
In the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.
In a golden crucible, a large pot of light yellow potion is boiling.
The Crucible is Hufflepuff's magical crucible, which can increase the time and success rate of refining potions.
The magic potion is a magic-enhancing potion improved by Schelling. Refining the original magic-enhancing potion formula is not too difficult, but it requires the use of basilisk venom. As far as Schelling knows, basilisks have long been extinct, and the one in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets is the last basilisk in the world. And if you want to cultivate the next basilisk until it reaches adulthood, it is quite laborious and time-consuming work.
Not to mention whether it was worth it or not, Schelling was simply not allowed to do it due to time constraints.
Therefore, Xie Lin had to use his brain to improve the potion formula.
During the summer vacation in July last year, when Schelling had just captured the big snake named Nagini from Voldemort, he had already discovered that Nagini was different. Nagini, who turned into a snake due to a blood curse, does not belong to any known magical snakes. At least Schelling has never heard of poisonous pythons. It can even be said that there is no evidence of the existence of venom glands in any large snakes such as pythons and anacondas. , even the long-extinct "Titanoboa" is considered non-venomous.
Nagini's venom can make people's wounds unable to be sutured, but it has become one of the main raw materials for Voldemort to refine the "Shameless Potion", which shows how strange Nagini's characteristics are.
At that time, Schelling often conducted various dark and cruel experiments on Nagini. He discovered that Nagini's blood was another treasure worthy of its venom.
When he was in second grade, Schelling found a bloodline research note written by Merlin in the restricted area of Hogwarts. The note was a study on how to implant the bloodline of magical creatures into wizards to increase magic value. Later, Merlin had to give up because it involved a forbidden area. Although the research is incomplete, the notes still list many important discoveries, such as what conditions must be met for magical creatures to be implanted in a wizard's body, what kind of magical properties must be displayed, and so on.
Nagini's blood undoubtedly met all the conditions for the bloodline of a magical creature envisioned by Merlin.
Although Nagini can be said to be rarer than the Basilisk to a certain extent, the Basilisk is much stronger than Nagini in terms of the ferocity of its venom and the power of the dark curse attached to it. It can be inferred from this that if Nagini's blood is used to replace the basilisk venom, the effect of this magic-enhancing potion will be greatly reduced.
However, this does not prevent Schelling from finding new paths elsewhere.
The potential of a wizard is determined by his bloodline. Whether it is the venom of the basilisk or the blood of Nagini, the role they play in the magic potion is to stimulate the power hidden in the wizard's blood.
In addition to blood, a wizard's magic power is actually determined by the wizard's soul, spirit, and body.
The current consensus among most wizards is that the lower limit of a wizard's magic power is determined at birth, and then slowly increases with age. But in Schelling's personal experience in the past few years, he discovered that wizards' magic power does not increase at a fixed growth rate. Instead, it is similar to the so-called "use it or lose it" in the Muggle world. A powerful wizard has a higher demand for magic power, and this demand can often in turn stimulate the growth of magic power.
Unless there is a creation similar to the "Essence of Wisdom", the soul and mental power can only be improved by continuous training on one's own, which will not be mentioned here for the time being. But when it comes to improving physical fitness, wizards simply don’t have too many methods - magical potions, agility potions, body-building potions...
Of course, no matter what kind of medicine is used to improve physical fitness, its effect cannot exceed the same thing——
Schelling's blood.
Since obtaining Hufflepuff's "Source of Life", Schelling's blood has been filled with strong vitality. This rare and powerful energy is very helpful for the evolution of the species. Not to mention, Xie Lin’s blood also contains extremely strong blood power——
When he was 4 years old, Schelling had already activated the "Magic Eye", the innate ability of the Malfoy family in his bloodline; after the magic was activated, Schelling also activated the "Disguise Magus", the innate ability of the Black family in his bloodline. ; After receiving the Slytherin inheritance, he further purified his bloodline through the "blood boiling" ritual, allowing the bloodline to return to its ancestors and get closer to the wizard's most primitive "power of chaos."
In addition, there is an unknown "pure blood" in his heart, nourishing his flesh and blood body all the time. At this moment, he didn't even know what kind of power his blood contained, but what he could be sure of was that his flesh and blood could definitely be regarded as the best among the many treasures in the world. One of the treasures.
"It's time." Schelling said softly as he watched the liquid in the crucible slowly change from light yellow to light green.
Sulf walked to the crucible, with no expression on her cold face. She raised her wand and lightly scratched her other white wrist. A large amount of blood came out of the wound and flowed into the crucible. In the crucible.
Seeing that Sulf's blood was almost gone, Xie Lin whispered: "It's my turn." Then he followed the same pattern and put his own blood into the liquid in the crucible.
The liquid in the crucible seemed to suddenly come to life, rolling up and down in the crucible. Sometimes it looked like a giant liquid snake flying up, sometimes like a furious liquid fire dragon roaring, and sometimes it even turned into a liquid. A strange and terrifying human face was looking into the air, letting out a low groan. However, no matter how the liquid rolled and struggled, it could not escape the confines of the crucible. This crucible passed down from the legendary wizard Hufflepuff seemed to have some kind of mystery. The ability tightly bound the contents of the crucible.
Suddenly, the crucible gave out a strong vibration, as if it could no longer withstand the power contained in the potion in the crucible and was about to explode.
"Do it!" Xie Lin shouted.
Daphne, Murray, Astoria, Luna, Susan, and Zhang Qiu stood in six directions respectively, pointing their wands at the crucible and chanting: "Invulnerable!". Six streams of magic spells shot onto the crucible at the same time. The alchemical runes engraved on the exposed surface of the crucible lit up one by one. While a sacred and solemn aura was revealed from the crucible, the magic medicine in the crucible also stopped. The riot slowly calmed down.
The potion turned into dark green, and a strange fragrance spread out, filling the entire secret room.
Xie Lin smelled it carefully, dipped a finger into it and put it on his tongue to taste it carefully to confirm that there was nothing wrong with the potion. Since this magic-enhancing potion has been improved by him, it may not be appropriate to continue to call it a magic-enhancing potion. Schelling gave it a new name——
"Demon Blood Potion".
Daphne took the initiative to take over the task of distributing potions. She saw with her own eyes that Xie Lin and Sulf added their own blood to the potion. Of course she knew how precious the potion was. She carefully used her wand to control the potion to float and flow into the bottles without even a drop. Being spilled.
There are nine bottles of potion in total.
Sulf and Xie Lin did not need the magic-enhancing potion. With their current strength, the magic-enhancing potion would have little effect on them. In addition, the potion was originally made from the blood of the two of them, so their bodies must be quite resistant to the potion.
Xie Lin put away the three extra bottles of magic potion, and then let each of the six girls drink one bottle.
