Before the establishment of Hogwarts, it can even be said that until the early days of the establishment of the school, the inheritance of the wizarding system was actually quite confusing, and there was no detailed classification system.
Slytherin is good at Legilimency and dark magic; Hufflepuff is good at healing magic and living magic; Ravenclaw is good at magic theory and space magic; Gryffindor is good at everything. The science is very complex, and even Muggle swordsmanship is involved.
Look, in the magic fields that the four of them are good at, there is no modern so-called transfiguration, charms, herbalism, potions, alchemy, history of magic, and Warcraft.
These branches of magical disciplines have experienced the first principal of Hogwarts (because the founders established the school equally, none of them elected a principal) to the third principal. They spent a lot of time and thought, It was only successfully divided against all opinions. Because they believe that these subjects are the cornerstones of learning magic and are the most suitable way to impart knowledge in the form of an "academy".
Before the magic disciplines of the academy system were divided, the inheritance of wizards had always been practical, mixed with magic from all fields. This was especially true in the era when wizards were still in the master-apprentice system. The wizard apprentices followed their masters, observing their every move, conversation and behavior, and learning the magic that the master cast casually every day.
(In fact, the same is true for the earliest knowledge inheritance in the Muggle world. A long time ago, liberal arts and science were not divided into disciplines. Neither liberal arts nor science can escape the category of philosophy.)
In that era, because wizards cherished their brooms for themselves, magic could not be popularized and the inheritance was lost.
Not many people remember it anymore——
In that era when hundreds of flowers bloomed, every wizard had his own unique skills...
The heritage of snake whisperers who use snake language to cast magic, the heritage of druids who worship nature, the heritage of necromancers who work with dead corpses and undead, the heritage of witches and Gu masters who mainly cultivate poisons and refining poisons, and control alchemy with spiritual diversion The inheritance of the puppet master, the inheritance of the insect master who mainly controls insects...
Most of these ancient inheritances have been reduced to oral legends in the wizarding world. Only in pure-blood families with ancient enough inheritance, there may still be some traces of records. Most of the other modern wizards have no idea of these words at all.
Of course, Schelling himself gathered the knowledge base of the four major families, and by chance, he also obtained the collection of books from Ravenclaw, the most knowledgeable of the four founders. Among the above-mentioned inheritances, the Snake Whisperer inheritance is already under his control; although the Druid inheritance has been lost, it is not without clues; he has also learned from Dumbledore about the Necromancer inheritance, which is in Tran. At the Necromancer Guild in Sylvania...
As for the inheritance of the Insect Master, he once obtained the book "The Book of Insect Masters" in Ravenclaw's collection, and read the entire book carefully. It was indeed as he expected. To control the magic of bugs. But the magic inside seemed to require the wizard's bloodline, so Xie Lin tried several times but couldn't figure it out, and finally had to give it up.
Let’s go back to Luna.
Luna awakened the complete blood talent of "Nature's Child" - after countless experiments, she can easily control all small magical animals, but she will be unable to deal with large magical animals.
Small magical animals, such as velvet velvet and bowtruckle, may have their own magical qualities, but they are not good at fighting.
As smart as Xie Lin, it was naturally impossible to waste Luna's talent. He quickly came up with an idea -
If you can't control large magical animals, then don't control large magical animals. Who says that small magical animals have no fighting power?
Among the small magical animals, the most powerful ones are of course the insects.
As far as Xie Lin knew, in the era when insect masters dominated the world, summoning overwhelming locusts at will to create the effect of an insect plague was not an impossible myth or legend, but a reality.
Moreover, don’t forget that the types of bugs are almost the most extensive among known biological categories. Some can fly, some can spin silk and weave webs, some can burrow into the earth and escape, some can swim in water, and some have amazing bite power. Some are horribly toxic...
This is simply an insect-level (i.e. Bug-level) ability!
Since the "Book of Bug Masters" was not of use to himself, and Schelling, as the sole descendant of Ravenclaw, had full authority over what to do with the collection of books, he generously gave the book to Luna, hoping that she would be able to use it as soon as possible. Master the magic inside.
The week passed quickly, and we came to the first weekend after the Easter holiday, which is also the last weekend in April.
Xie Lin once again convened a meeting of all members of Mianlong Club.
Although Sleeping Dragon Club regularly holds various activities during the daily semester, such as exchanges between wizards and Xie Lin's magic tutorials, these are not the kind that require all members to attend.
This kind of all-staff meeting, which all members must attend, has only been held twice in history - the one when it was founded, and the one when Zhang Qiu and Susan joined the meeting. This time, it can be considered the third time.
Since Daphne had always been responsible for the recruitment and list of members, Xie Lin knew for the first time that the Sleeping Dragon Club already had so many members. He still remembers very clearly that when the organization was first established, there were only 19 people. He did not expect that it had grown to such a scale in less than a year.
After Schelling subdued the six Slytherin prefects, almost 80% of the Slytherin children joined the Sleeping Dragon Club. For some unknown reason - maybe because he couldn't let go of the past, maybe because of her, maybe for other reasons, although Draco and his three followers (Pansy, Goyle, Crabbe) knew They learned about Mianlong Society, but they did not join.
However, the senior followers that Draco had previously conquered, such as Graham Montaigne and Cassius Warrington, turned to Schelling with Draco's own approval.
Two other examples who did not join the Order of the Dragon were Blaise Chabini and Theodore Nott. The former was not within the scope of Schelling's recruitment, and the conflict between Schelling and Madame Chabini was almost inevitable; while the latter was purely due to nature. Theodore's character was withdrawn, and he did not like to participate in these club activities. He prefers to hide and tinker with his own stuff alone.
Even so, the total number of members of Mianlong Club still reached 81.
"Good morning," Xie Lin cleared his throat. He did not use amplification spells, but his voice was naturally and clearly transmitted to everyone's ears. Several elite senior students who knew what they were good at suddenly showed expressions of awe. , "I called everyone here today because I have something to announce..."
"Everyone I see here today has some unfamiliar new faces and some familiar old faces. It doesn't matter, because we are different from other ordinary student clubs -" Sherling paused for a moment before speaking loudly: " we are Family!"
"Brothers, sisters," Xie Lin said slowly and in a deep voice: "I am really happy to see you today... Sleeping Dragon Society is an academic and magical exchange that allows us to love each other and help each other across blood, class and gender. It is not easy for the platform to grow from just 19 people at the beginning to today. This is the credit of each of you, and you deserve this honor!"
Several core members, such as 6 prefects and 6 girls, took the opportunity to take the lead in applauding, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
"However, I have to explain something to everyone," Xie Lin's tone turned solemn and serious, making all the young wizards' minds suddenly high. They all sat upright and listened attentively, "The Mianlong Society has developed so far. It has always been just a platform for our academic exchanges, allowing us to learn knowledge that is not taught in the classroom, and allowing us to conduct practical training, but——"
"Have any of you ever thought about what is the ultimate purpose of us learning these magics?"
"As the senior members graduate one by one, they will also leave this organization to pursue their future. One day, even as the founder of the organization, I will have to leave this organization and do what I have to do. This day may be two or three years from now, or it may be in the not-too-distant future, or it may even be tomorrow!" Xie Lin's eyes flashed with a sharp edge, "Then I think, everyone here, The same questions must have arisen in their minds——"
"Where is our future?"
