Schelling's laboratory is in the suitcase space. This was originally the place where Mr. Scamander did research on magical animals. Of course, his research direction was how to raise, care for and treat magical animals, which was in line with Schelling's direction. It's completely different.
Schelling is not a fan of magical animals, let alone a conservationist. From his point of view, whether it is magical animals or magical plants, they are essentially no different from spells, transfiguration, defense, and black magic. They are just tools.
Well, Silver Fang may be the only exception.
It represents the kindness hidden deep in Schelling's heart and the innocence sealed in the past by Schelling.
The laboratory, which was originally only the size of a Slytherin common room, has now been enlarged by Schelling using the Invisible Stretch Charm to the size of the Hogwarts Great Hall, which is at least ten times larger than it was at the beginning.
The laboratory is not dark and dark, but is brightly lit.
The ceiling is not embedded with flame-lit torches, because Schelling doesn't like the light created by flames. He prefers the white light of the LED lighting used in his previous life. So he asked the Greengrass family to help him collect a kind of bug called "Glow Bug" from all over Europe, and then asked the Hohenheim family to provide alchemy containers that were engraved with sealing techniques, and put the glow bugs into Put them inside and let the containers float in mid-air one by one.
(Note: The glowworm setting comes from the Fantastic Beasts movie and is used as lighting by Newt Scamander and is one of his suitcase pets)
The illuminator designed by Schelling is even more advanced than the Muggle LED lighting. A top-grade LED lighting can only be used for thirty or forty years.
Schelling's lighting lamp is eternal. This is because the sealing technique on the container completely seals the life of the fluorescent bugs. They can never grow old or die. They can only emit light forever in the container and contribute to the world. Contribute light.
In addition to an operating table for dissection and a long table used for various experiments, there are also cylindrical transparent crystal containers placed around the laboratory. All the animals in the laboratory are Luna. Never-before-seen creatures, or monsters.
Luna widened her already big and bright eyes, as if a Muggle had entered Diagon Alley for the first time, and everything seemed so novel.
"Ah, what is that?" She pointed to a dark black plant in a container that was very similar to a devil's net, but the vines were covered with little red spots that looked like blood.
"This is the man-eating vine, a variant of the devil's net. It likes to feed on human flesh and blood. It will actively wrap and strangle its prey with the vines, and then secrete a special mucus to digest the corpse." Xie Lin smiled faintly and said, this man-eating vine is not easy to cultivate, but it took several months of irrigation with human blood to evolve. I really have to thank...that person...
Schelling thought for a moment, ah, I remembered, Hector Foley, thank him for his selfless contribution of flesh and blood... Well, in order to preserve the magic power in the flesh and blood, Schelling also specially sacrificed the flesh and blood with an ancient ritual magic. , Foley also lost a leg forever.
What a great person!
"Ah, this isn't the Inferi, is it?" Luna pointed at a short humanoid creature in another cylindrical container. It looked like a dwarf that looked a bit like a human, but its appearance was ten times uglier. It looked like a humanoid and a dwarf. Like a hybrid of a pig monster. Luna does not reject black magic. In her opinion, the human heart is the most terrifying thing in the world. To put it bluntly, black magic is just a tool.
Well, there may be a subtle influence from Xuelin, but Xuelin can swear that he has never modified Luna's memory.
"My dear Luna," Sherin smiled, "Have you ever seen such an ugly Inferi?"
"Well, this is actually the offspring of a certain heavy-tasting witch and a dwarf pig monster who did some, uh, adult behavior."
"Ah!" Luna covered her mouth in disbelief. She blinked her big eyes, "How could there be such a person? How disgusting!"
"Isn't it?" Xie Lin replied lightly, "When I learned about this, I was quite surprised."
Well, Schelling didn't lie. He was really surprised at the time——
Human beings will do anything to survive. After Hector Foley's other leg was sacrificed for great research, Lucida Slahorn, who was watching everything, collapsed. In order to survive, in order to avoid the same encounter, she was able to resolutely choose to be with the pig monster... At that moment, Xie Lin was really shocked...
"I named this creature the Cursed Demon. They are inherently evil and contain powerful curse power. Once released into the community, they will bring disaster to the area within a hundred miles of where they are." Xie Lin's face was solemn. He added, "So we must be extremely careful not to let it escape from this laboratory."
"Okay, Luna, come here," Xie Lin waved to Luna, and the two came to the breeding tank where blood-sucking flying flies are cultivated.
"Ah!" Luna exclaimed again, this time not because of how ugly this thing is, not because of how scary this thing is, not because of how disgusting this thing is, but because -
She recognized this thing, this new species!
"The Harassment Fly!" Luna's face was full of surprise, "Where did you find the Harassment Fly?"
"I have my own way," Xie Lin raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Luna put her face against the transparent surface of the breeding tank and watched every move of the harassing fly.
She turned her head, her beautiful face flushed with excitement, and she said in a dreamy tone: "I must tell dad about this..."
She suddenly became quiet, looked at Xie Lin with her misty, protruding eyes, and said calmly: "Dad has been trying for many years, but he has never been able to prove the existence of molesting flies. I think, even you, want to It’s not easy to find this thing, right?”
"Uh..." Xie Lin could only nodded dully. He looked at Luna's unusually serious expression and wanted to make a joke, but suddenly he seemed to be hit by a tongue expansion spell and couldn't say anything. Seriously speaking, it is indeed not easy to create a harassing fly. Think about it, how much blood Xie Lin and Sulf lost in order to cultivate this thing. They have to take blood supplements every day to recover. Do you think it is hard or not? ?
Luna bit her lower lip (surprise! This action happened again), quickly ran to Xie Lin, and kissed Xie Lin on the lips like a dragonfly.
! ! !
what happend?
"Luna, I..." Xie Lin hesitated.
Luna couldn't help but smile when she looked at Xie Lin. She tilted her head, showed a naughty smile, and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just thanking you for everything you have done for me."
"Ah?" Xie Lin raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then smiled, "I don't know, when did we start expressing gratitude in this way?"
"Hmm... It seems I'm a little behind the times. No, I still have to go find Murray and ask..." Xie Lin said as if talking to himself.
"Come on," Luna had a faint smile on her face, an inexplicable light flashed in her eyes, and her voice was no longer trance-like, "You don't need to ask Murray, I can tell you the answer right now. .”
The two stared at each other without saying a word.
The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence, as if even the surrounding air had stopped flowing.
"I can thank you one more time..." Luna's voice sounded softly, and Xie Lin suddenly noticed that he had ignored it, but Luna's voice was actually very nice.
Xie Lin no longer remembers what happened in the middle. He only knows that his lips were suddenly blocked by two soft pieces, and a pair of arms hugged his neck tightly. This time, the two never separated again...
ten minutes later.
Luna lowered her head slightly and fiddled with her golden hair unconsciously. Xie Lin coughed lightly to ease the awkward atmosphere. In fact, he had never regarded Luna as his target.
This girl Luna has a very special place in his heart. She represents Schelling's own yearning and a dream that he cannot realize in this life.
She is a free elf and an unfettered soul; while Xie Lin is burdened with the missions of his family, Meredith, Sleeping Dragon Society, etc., he can only move forward hard and never dare to slack off.
Xie Lin liked Luna, but he never wanted to get her or possess her. What he wants to do more is to become Luna's good friend and protect her rare innocence.
What he didn't know was that at this moment, in a family secret room called Scamander in distant London, a strange-shaped bird egg suddenly cracked open, and a green bird with a crooked beak fluttered its wings with some sparse feathers. flew away.
The observers who saw this scene rushed to the head of the family's office as quickly as possible and reported this abnormal phenomenon that had not been seen for a long time to Herman Scamander, the contemporary head of the Scamander family.
Half an hour later, the summoning order for the most senior members of the Scamander family was officially issued. All important members of the Scamander family must gather together to discuss major issues that affect the entire family.
Accompanied by Xie Lin, Luna carefully controlled the harassing fly. Although Luna looked carefree, Xie Lin did not dare to treat her lightly. He stayed close to Luna and observed Luna's performance. The art of controlling insects. As the person who created this species, no one knows the power of these harrassing flies better than him, and no one is more alert than him to the serious consequences of harrassing flies out of control.
These blood-sucking flies like to suck human blood and are extremely aggressive. As long as they bite humans, they can cause mental confusion, emotional irritability, loss of reason and other effects. If there are too many bites, the person will most likely become insane and completely crazy. If there was any problem with Luna's insect-manipulating technique, Xie Lin must completely eliminate them as quickly as possible before they go berserk.
What Schelling feared did not happen. After Luna's blood power awakened, she had an unimaginable affinity for these small animals. She moved her fingers in the air and uttered a mysterious language similar to the buzzing sound of insects. The harassing flies were like a well-disciplined army. The army, following her command, formed various formations in mid-air——
There is a trident formation for attack, a half-moon formation for defense, and a long snake formation for assault... In short, it is similar to the ancient war art that Xie Lin has seen in the Muggle world, and it is extremely unpredictable.
After watching the thirty-three different formations demonstrated by the harassing flies, Xie Lin felt that he had seen enough, and decided that it was time to put them away. He took out a very small pendant box from his arms and placed it in his open palm. Although this pendant box looks small, its appearance is very exquisitely handmade. Not only does it have lifelike carvings, but it is also inlaid with several precious gems. It is more than enough to be used as a pendant jewelry for a beautiful lady.
Xie Lin whispered: "The worm comes out of the box", and the lid of the pendant box suddenly opened.
At Xie Lin's signal, Luna directed all the harassing flies to fly into a very small pendant box. After the last harassing fly also flew into the box, Xie Lin whispered "All insects return to the box", and the box suddenly closed with a loud bang.
Xie Lin walked up to Luna, and under the gaze of Luna who blushed like an apple, he carefully put his hand through Luna's snow-white jade neck and helped her put on the necklace hanging the pendant box.
"I customized this box specially for you, and it will be yours from now on," Xie Lin smiled gently, "I gave it a name, let's call it -"
"Pandora's Box."
