Chapter 111
Schelling and Dino returned to camp.
As soon as the Greenglass sisters saw Sherin's livid face, they knew that his back and forth was fruitless.
"Xie Lin," Daphne plucked up her courage, walked towards Xie Lin, and hugged Xie Lin into her arms, "Don't be like this, okay? You still have us, together, we can definitely save Mei."
Astoria bit her lower lip, leaned on Xie Lin's back obediently, put her hands through Xie Lin's waist, and hugged Xie Lin quietly, "Brother Xie Lin, and me, I will definitely study hard, and I will not be your burden anymore..." After she finished speaking, her voice even carried a little crying tone.
"Daphne... Tori..." Xie Lin felt pity, "I don't blame you, I only hate myself for not being more decisive...I should have used the forbidden spell on them..."
A coldness flashed in Xie Lin's eyes. Lockhart was dead, and the other two men in black were dead as well, but the clues did not stop here.The woman among the three who ran away already had an object of suspicion in his heart, and he just needed to be confirmed.
Next time, he won't hold back anymore, he will make Shadow of the Demon Dragon regret provoking him, and let him experience his anger!
After an unknown amount of time, Gareth returned to the camp with a tired face.
The Ministry of Magic has already set up a file for this matter, and handed it over to the Auror Office to investigate. Gareth also promised to mobilize all the forces of the family to investigate, after all, Meredith is also his daughter.But he is not optimistic about the results of the investigation. The Shadow of the Dragon is an organization that is too low-key and mysterious. Gareth has never heard of this organization before.
The butler of the Greengrass family, Mogaton, has served the family for 20 years. Before that, he never thought that Mogaton would be a spy.
Thinking of Gareth's trust in him in the past, Gareth confided in him, which caused Morgan to grasp a lot of family secrets, and now Gareth is also very distressed.
According to Gareth, Morgatton was a young man who accidentally saved his life when he went out many years ago, and then stayed in the Greengrass family to serve him in order to repay his kindness. Over the past 20 years, he has been conscientious and loyal, which is why he was able to win Gareth's complete trust.
If the encounter between Morgarden and Gareth was not accidental, this would represent a terrible fact: the power of the Shadow of the Dragon is greater than imagined, and its layout is longer than imagined. I am afraid that not only the Greengrass family, but all the famous wizard families may have been infiltrated by this organization.
This is by no means the two of them worrying about nothing.The other two dead people were all figures with certain status in well-known wizard families.
This enemy, which did not appear in the original book, is more difficult than imagined, and may even be more difficult to deal with than Voldemort.
But the big question is, why did they kidnap Meredith?
Meredith's family didn't have any profitable interests at all—after attaching to the Greengrass family, Gareth once visited Shafiq's ancestral house, and there was almost nothing of value in it, not even a secret room.As the last descendant, it is impossible for Meredith not to know if there is a secret room, and based on what they know about her, it is very unlikely that Meredith will deceive them.
"Unless..." Gareth and Schelling thought of a terrible conjecture at the same time.
Daphne said anxiously: "Unless what?"
Gareth and Schelling looked at each other, and finally Schelling said, "The most valuable thing about Meredith has never been a family treasure, inherited magic, let alone a precious magic book—" Schelling swallowed, and he was also terrified of his guess, "The most precious thing about her is herself!"
"I don't understand—" Daphne shook her head, "She's just a little witch with decent talent. In terms of talent, she's far inferior to real geniuses, like you, Schelling. Are they coveting her because of her body?" Daphne said with an unbelievable expression.
"Yes, it's for her body," Xie Lin explained, "but it's not what you think (Author: What is she thinking?), to be precise, it's for the blood in her body!"
"Bloodline?"
Gareth sighed, "Schelin, I usually dote on them too much, I never told them about the wizard's blood..."
Xie Lin said lightly: "It's okay, it's the same to tell them now. The power of wizards actually comes from our blood, which determines whether we can learn magic, and also determines our talent and potential. This is why pure-blood families have always considered themselves noble..."
"But... didn't you say that among the many qualities of a person, character, talent, will, and choice are more important than blood?" Daphne asked.
"That's right. That's because Muggle wizards actually have the power of bloodlines. Although the pure-blood families deliberately conceal this - the so-called Muggle wizards actually come from pure wizarding families like us. It's just that a certain generation of descendants among them has a squib, which caused a fault. However, the power of bloodlines is still latent, and it only waits to be reactivated in a certain generation of descendants at a certain moment."
Schelling went on to say: "Bloodline determines our talent and potential, but not our upper limit. What really determines the upper limit of our magic power is the strength of our soul and the strength of our spiritual power. These two factors can determine how strong our magic power is and how powerful the spell we release is. For the same spell, the power released by the great magister is very different from ours. It is because of the difference in magic power. Of course, the bonus of spellcasting skills and emotions cannot be ignored."
Not only Daphne and Astoria felt that their three views had been refreshed, but even Gareth listened with gusto. He didn't expect that Schelling had already understood the essence of blood and magic power to this point, much more profound than himself.
"Let's talk about Mei!" Xie Lin's heart was throbbing, but he still said blankly: "The power hidden in the blood of every wizard is different. For example, if you look at the Weasley family——"
"Ah," Daphne said, "You also know the power of their blood?"
"That's not true," Schelling shook his head. "There is a profound knowledge in Muggle science called genetics. According to genetics, red hair is actually a recessive gene, so everyone in the family has red hair. How should I put it, it is very unscientific."
"Their red hair," Xie Lin's eyes were full of confidence, "I'm afraid it's a physical manifestation of a special magic power. The magic power of their family has affected their hair color—"
"Interesting point of view," Gareth agreed. "Magic power can affect appearance. How come I never thought of it before?"
Schelling continued: "According to my observation, Weasley's magical power is likely to be 'innovation'. You can see that Arthur Weasley can transform a Muggle car into that way, which is a kind of innovation. I heard that his dead brother Bilius is also a person with eccentric interests and is good at creating all kinds of surprises."
(Note: Bilius is from the original book. The twins described him as being mischievous. During parties, he often took out flowers from his private parts and gave them away. In 1993, Ron mentioned that he died within 24 hours of seeing the ominous situation.)
"William Weasley, the eldest son of the family, is famous for his weird costumes. The Weasley twins invented a lot of weird gadgets in school. Everyone in their family probably has a different talent for innovation."
Daphne stared at Xie Lin's eyes and asked, "So... Xie Lin, has some kind of blood power awakened in your eyes?"
These are the people Xie Lin trusted the most. He didn't think about hiding them, and in fact he couldn't hide them. He exposed the abnormality of his pupils in front of them at least twice, so he nodded.
"Taking the Wesley family and me as an example, you should realize that different family bloodlines correspond to different talents. From this, we can guess that Mei's bloodline must also have her special features..."
"To sum up, I think that the Shadow of the Demon Dragon organization has been dormant for so long, and they must have a big plan - they can make them expose their existence and capture Mei away, which shows that Mei has at least played a pivotal role in their plot. I think - Mei should not be harmed in the short term, so we must seize the opportunity now and desperately increase our strength..."
Xie Lin is still not satisfied with his own strength. His magic power is still at the level of senior students. Although in this battle, he used multiple and complicated attack methods and precise tactics to fight against six adult wizards, but that was because he took advantage of surprise.
After this battle, many of his hole cards were exposed. The next time he encounters the same situation, as long as the opponent is prepared, he will not be so easy again.
Xie Lin looked at Dino, and asked in a deep voice: "Dino, now your master's life or death is uncertain, what are your plans?"
Dino's face was blank, and his eyes lost any sparkle. In the eyes of others, he was no different from a standing corpse.Having lost his master as his backbone, and lost the habit of always obeying his master's orders, he was devastated, as if he had lost the meaning of life, and didn't know what he should do.He didn't know how to answer Xie Lin's question, so he could only lower his head and keep silent.
"In this case, follow me! I can promise you that I will never give up on rescuing your master, no matter what!" Xie Lin's eyes sparkled, "I need more helpers, are you willing to help me, Dino?"
Dino seemed to have recovered his lost soul. He raised his head and looked at Schelling's steadfast gaze. For some reason, a small flame called "Hope" was ignited in his heart. He opened his eyes wide and nodded vigorously, "Yes! Master Malfoy, from today on, Dino will be your most loyal servant! As long as you give an order, Dino will be smashed to pieces, and he will do it for you."
After swearing the master-servant contract, Dino felt warm in his chest, as if he had broken free from the shackles and was reborn, full of fighting spirit. He only felt that being able to follow Xie Lin, the master, was the greatest reward from the heavens. He wished to take out his heart and lungs and dedicate them to this new master to express his loyalty.He completely surrendered to Schelling from body, to spirit, to soul.
["Servant" Dino got it! 】
According to JKR.com, JKR.com, Rowling's official website, Arthur has two brothers, besides Billius, the other brother did not give his name, but he attended Bill's wedding, got drunk and mistook Harry for his son
