Chapter 155 Interesting List
The results of the competition are announced in real time throughout Europe.
On the day of the competition, the visiting media were not just the Daily Prophet—the French "Stone Winged Demon", the Nordic "Viking Daily", the gossip magazine "Insanity", the women's magazine "Witch Weekly", the hunting magazine "The Quibbler" and so on. As long as the media with a certain reputation in Europe basically came, this is naturally the meaning of Gurana. Pie and idol pie Idol.
After the competition, Schelling received a snowflake of letters. The senders covered almost every country in Europe, and they all sent words of praise and appreciation in different languages. Some even set up support fan clubs in their own countries at their own expense. There was a pen name "Admiral Jaina", and a reward was attached to the letter-a cash roll with the seal of Gringotts, with a value of 115 Galleons written on it!
Xie Lin asked Daphne to gather all the members of the Sleeping Dragon Society, and a group of people helped to open, translate, and reply letters one by one in the secret room behind the big mirror on the fifth floor.Several hours passed like this, and when it was time for dinner, the members left first, leaving only Schelling, Murray, and Greengrass sisters continuing to open and read letters.
Of course, Schelling would not abuse himself and his three girlfriends. Dobby brought over a sumptuous dinner, and opened a bottle of Ogden champagne as a celebration for Schelling's success in winning the first project.
When they entered the Slytherin common room that night, there was another round of cheering and uproar.There were mountains of cake on the tables and chairs, and there was fizzy pumpkin juice and butterbeer.
Blaise Zabini set off some Faliba fireworks, and there were many stars and sparks in the air.There were also several new, bold banners on the walls of the lounge, most of which showed Schelling pointing his wand at a dragon, making it bow its head like a puppy, though two showed Harry's ass on fire.
Draco walked over, patted Xie Lin on the shoulder, and said proudly: "You really have! Xie Lin, I have already written to tell my parents, and they are very proud of you!"
Xie Lin looked at Draco, and finally said what had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "Thank you, pig shit..."
"Don't call me that name!" Draco was a little "hateful", which was a nickname the two brothers had given themselves when they were children, but they hadn't called each other since they were nine years old.
The two brothers looked at each other quietly, and laughed uncontrollably at the same time.
Draco stopped smiling, and pretended to be vicious and said: "Hmph, you just won the first project, let's not talk about that trash Potter, I think those two girls are really strong, you'd better be 'careful'!"
Xie Lin still had a smile on his eyes and the corners of his mouth, but there was a faint light in the depths of his eyes, and he said loudly: "Got it, pig shit. Don't worry!"
"Ah!!! You're still talking!" Hearing the loud laughter of the little wizards around him, Draco showed a look of going crazy.
Just when Draco picked up a piece of cake and wanted to smash it on Xie Lin, Xie Lin suddenly said softly: "Thank you, brother."
Draco paused for a moment, and snorted softly, "I won't quarrel with you, I'll go back to my room to sleep!" Draco turned and left proudly, even taking the cake in his hand.Before walking into the corridor of the boys' dormitory behind the blue tapestry, without turning his head, he said softly, "As you said, we are brothers."
Seeing Draco's back disappear behind the tapestry, the corners of Schelling's mouth curled up slightly.
Draco's departure did not cool down the atmosphere at the scene, but instead made the little wizards in the lower grades even crazier.At this time, on the table and on the ground, beer foam, food residues, and ribbons shot from various colored cannons can be seen everywhere.
Pansy came over, followed by her three little followers—Audrey, Tracy, Millicent and the others. She smiled and said, "Congratulations, Schelling."
"Thank you, Pansy," Schelling responded politely.
"This celebration," Pansy said meaningfully, "Draco organized it for you. It is said that he spent all his pocket money this semester."
Sherin said softly, "I see, and thank you, Pansy."
At this time, Terrence Higgs appeared out of nowhere, holding a large glass of butterbeer in his hand. He raised the glass and said loudly: "To our Slytherin warrior—Sherin!"
All the little wizards raised their glasses at the same time, shouting Sherin's name.
After putting down the cup, Terrence said: "You are amazing, Schelling! It's incredible! You broke the iron rule of 'fire dragons cannot be domesticated'! As far as I know, in the past 100 years, only you and Scamander, the master of magical beasts, have been able to do this!"
Schelling has also heard about Scamander's deeds. It was the period when Muggles launched the First World War (1914-1918). Scamander participated in the Ministry of Magic's top-secret plan to domesticate Ukrainian Iron Belly. In the end, this plan was terminated because the fire dragons only listened to Scamander, and they still followed other dragon trainers.
Regarding this strange phenomenon, Schelling speculates that Scamander's family may have a blood talent similar to being close to magical animals, and because of his slightly autistic personality, he forced this talent out.
Nott also came over and handed a package to Schelling, "This is what Dad asked me to give you, saying it is a gift to congratulate you on your successful start today."
Schelling and Nott exchanged a look, and nodded tacitly.
Sister Carlo touched the shiny golden egg, "My God, it's quite heavy. Is this the clue to the second level?"
At this time, other people also began to pay attention to the golden egg, Blaise said: "What will be inside?"
"I don't know, I haven't studied it yet," Xie Lin showed a cheap smile, "But, can you open it and have a look?"
Blaise handed the golden egg to the strongest Goyle, who dug his fingernails into a circle of grooves on the golden egg and pried it open.
It was empty, and there was nothing there—but the moment it was opened, a terrifying, shrill scream filled the room.
"Shut it!" Pansy yelled, covering his ears with his hands.
Goyle slammed the golden egg shut. "What's that?" Blaise asked, staring at the golden egg. "Like a banshee scream...but also kind of like a mandrake scream, anyway it makes me feel bad..."
"What are you afraid of?" Terence said, "Sherin has even tamed the fire dragon, so why should he be afraid of these things?"
The crowd quickly said yes.
It was almost one o'clock in the morning when Xie Lin returned to the dormitory.He opened the package given to him by Old Nott. Inside was a book titled "The Encyclopedia of Alchemy Locks", which contained all the methods of making and cracking alchemy locks throughout the ages.
Well, that's exactly what Schelling needs.
Xie Lin deeply felt the importance of building power. In the previous life, many fan fictions liked the protagonist to be strong alone. They never thought about it. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.Only by gathering the power of all people can more things be done.
He took out a few more items from the space of the suitcase, and arranged them on the bed one by one. These were all congratulatory gifts sent to him by his allies. It took a lot of time to sort them out today. Now that there is no one around, he just took them out to study.
Sister Gulana sent herself a dragon-shaped specimen sealed in a transparent container. According to her letter, the one inside was a specimen of an ancient dragon cub unearthed in a ruin by an archaeologist in the organization. The secret sealing technique of the organization was used, and a little magic power of the ancient dragon was attached to it, that is, the power of the blood of the ancient dragon.
What Mr. Slughorn gave him was potions, and they were all extremely precious. In addition to a bottle of Felix Elixir, there was also a large bottle of dragon's blood.The pure dragon blood extracted from adult dragons is very expensive, and its trade is almost monopolized by the Ministry of Magic, and it is almost impossible to buy in the market.
And the bottle that Slughorn gave was not an ordinary adult dragon's blood, but a bottle of activated dragon's blood, which required many complicated ritual steps and precious magic materials, and took several months to make.
Because of Dumbledore's relationship, it is well known that common dragon's blood has twelve uses (this study was published by Dumbledore when he was young), although most of them are rather tasteless, such as cleaning the oven, removing spots, treating plantar warts, and so on.Xie Lin in his previous life was often puzzled, why was dragon's blood being sold at such a high price.
It turns out that what ordinary wizards and common people don't know is that those are the uses of ordinary dragon blood.
The real value of dragon blood is that it can be made into active dragon blood.
Active Dragon Blood Dragon blood can stimulate the body's functions and potential, and the effect varies slightly depending on the type of dragon used.However, the production process is very difficult, even the top potion masters, few have the opportunity to refine active dragon blood.
Take the bottle Schelling received as an example. It is black dragon blood extracted from a live Hebridian black dragon. Then Slahorn added the abdominal flesh of Ukrainian iron belly, the fangs of Peruvian Vipertooth, the black ridges of Norwegian Ridgeback, the pointed tail spines of Hungarian Horntail, the golden tassel-shaped spikes of Chinese Fireball Dragon (similar to the hair of a lion), the golden long horns of Romanian Longhorn, and the longan of Australian Opaleye...
These materials are very expensive and rare, and there are many requirements for them in the ceremony. For example, the horn of the Longhorn must be three feet long, the fangs of the Vipertooth must not have been sprayed with venom for at least three months, and the longan of the egg eye must be at least bigger than a watermelon...
After the completion, it needs to be sent to the Gathering Terrace under the control of the Ministry of Magic, where there is a magic circle that gathers moonlight and starlight, so that the dragon's blood can be illuminated by the most intense stars and moonlight, causing the power in the blood to mutate.
It's not surprising that Xie Lin would receive gifts from these three people. As her fame grew, sister Gurana's interest relationship with her became closer, so she would definitely not be stingy with showing favor to Xie Lin; and similarly, famous people, to Slughorn, are like bees seeing honey, and they are the objects he is most keen to win over and make friends with.
What surprised Schelling more was the fourth gift.
The giver of this gift is Alvin Carlo, the father of the Carlo sisters and the contemporary head of the Carlo family.
Alvin Carrow is a man with a very dignified appearance. Compared with the heads of other pure-blood families, although he is not well-known, he is not easy to get along with.In the original book, the Carlo family is a fanatical pure-blood supremacy family, but he himself did not end himself like Lucius, but sent his ineffective younger brother Amycus and younger sister Alecto to join the Death Eaters.
Amycus and Alecto are obviously not very strong, even the newly grown Harry and the underage Luna can knock them down, but they are entrusted by the Death Eaters to infiltrate Hogwarts and serve as Hogwarts professors.In fact, behind this, it is more or less because of Alvin Caro's face.
Leaving aside what a gift is, the act of giving a gift actually means a lot of things.
The Carlo family's support for pure blood supremacy is probably just a show. After all, Schelling's behavior in Hogwarts is not a secret. As long as you have the heart to check, you will know that Schelling is probably not a supporter of pure blood supremacy. Mr. Carlo's two daughters are studying at Hogwarts, so there is no reason not to know.
In this way, the meaning behind Alvin Carlo’s move is not difficult to understand—this is a family whose interests are paramount. Amycus and Alecto will join the Death Eaters for the benefit of the family in the final analysis. This does not prevent Alvin himself from betting elsewhere. If he can gain Schelling’s friendship and broaden the family’s choices, he will do it without hesitation.
That said, this is one to fight for!
The value of the gift is not light, after all, it was given by the patriarch of the dignified and holy 28 pure-blood family himself.It was a simple list, but there were some names that were not simple at all.
Dolphin Roll, Cobain Yaxley, Trovan Selwyn, Archibald Avery, Sebastian Rocher, Leobold Slughorn...
I also saw the names of Old Knott and Alvin Carroll himself...
Some of these people are recognized Death Eaters, and some are pure-blood patriarchs who contributed money back then but ended up personally.
This is a very interesting list!
Xie Lin's pupils shone shrewdly, and the corners of his mouth curled into a sinister arc. If he didn't guess wrong, this list confirmed what he had always guessed.
It seems that Mr. Carlo really gave himself a great favor!
