Chapter 158 The time is ripe
Schelling's excellent performance in the first project once again added a lot of popularity to him.
The number of members of the "Warrior Schelling Fan Club" has grown extremely fast, because Schelling has established a good reputation and a positive image in both Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, and many young wizards are proud to join the club.In their hearts, Schelling's achievements also belonged to the glory of Hogwarts, and they were also honored to be his classmates.This club has become the club with the largest number of people in Hogwarts, far ahead of No.2 "Gobstone Club" by three times.
Zhang Qiu, Marietta, Luna, and Susan, who are the cadres of the club, designed a badge of "Supporting the Warrior Sherin" and distributed it publicly in Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw colleges, and it turned out to be very popular!
The incident made Harry uncomfortable for a while.
Later, Hermione and Ron also designed the "Support Harry the Warrior" badge for him, which was very popular among Gryffindors, and Harry smiled again.But in fact, his badge has very few responders in the other three colleges.
Schelling saw the time was ripe for the next step in his plans.
On this day, Xie Lin asked Zhang Qiu and Susan to meet in front of the big mirror on the fifth floor, and read the incantation "Secret Mirror Appearance" to the mirror under the strange eyes of the two of them. The image on the mirror rippled and suddenly revealed a deep path.
"It's so cool!" Zhang Qiu's gaze was a little hot, "This is a secret passage? When did you find out?" She lightly touched the mirror with her hand, but she penetrated to the world on the other side of the mirror without any barriers.
Xie Lin said in a half-joking tone: "If I said that I knew it existed on the first day of school, would you believe it?"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiu nodded without hesitation, with a very serious expression on her face, she said: "As long as you say, I will believe it."
This made Schelling a little embarrassed.
Susan broke the awkward silence, "Schelin, you're so mean, you know such an interesting place but you didn't share it with us, you know we are your 'hardcore fans'! Oh, don't talk, let's take us in quickly, I'm looking forward to what secrets will be inside?"
Xie Lin stared deeply at the two girls, his eyes were shining brightly, not only Susan, but even Zhang Qiu couldn't help a faint blush on his cheeks.
"The secret of this secret path is just a trivial matter," he said softly, with a slight hook on the corner of his mouth, "There are more interesting things!"
The secret passage was very dark, Xie Lin waved his left hand forward lightly, there was a slight tremor in the air, and three light balls exuding a bright and gentle milky white halo appeared. The light balls seemed to have self-consciousness, staying on the petition of the three people, and following the steps of the three people.
"This is... an illusion spell?" After all, Zhang Qiu came from a family of transfiguration. Although he was only in the fifth grade, he was no stranger to high-level transfiguration.
"Well, it's an illusion spell. Speaking of it, I have to thank your uncle. It was his "Various Changes" that made me understand how to integrate the characteristics of the fluorescent spell into the illusion—" Xie Lin's tone was slightly sighed, "The mysterious and ancient oriental magic really has its advantages, which makes people yearn for it..."
"Xie Lin," Zhang Qiu blushed, although it was not obvious in this dark secret passage, "What my uncle said before was just a joke, don't take him too seriously..."
"Really?" Xie Lin's gaze was half a smile, "I was looking forward to the secret transfiguration he promised!"
The three of them walked for 15 minutes, and some strange-shaped marks began to appear on the stone wall of the secret passage, some of which were similar to ancient runic scripts, but not all of them—if I had to say it, they were more like the scribbles of a drunken person.
The two girls looked at these pictures and texts with fascinated eyes, as if there was some mysterious power in the pictures and texts that was deeply attracting them.
Xie Lin stood still, observing their performance steadily.
These magic marks are his masterpieces. They are the magic seals created by him after intensively studying spiritual magic and soul magic. They will arouse the temptation, greed and fear in the depths of the heart, and only a firm will can resist them.
Zhang Qiu replied relatively quickly, her eyes had just regained clarity, and then revealed deep fear again, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying.
She suddenly knelt down on the ground, covering her face and crying bitterly.
At this time, Susan just recovered from the obsession, she screamed immediately, rolled her eyes, and passed out.
Schelling drew out his wand and cast "All Curses" on the two girls, and they slowly woke up, or came to their senses, but couldn't remember what happened before.
Susan rubbed her sore eyes, and said doubtfully, "What happened just now?"
Xie Lin said: "There are magic marks engraved on this stone wall that can temper your will and soul. As long as you pass its test successfully, you can strengthen your will and soul strength, which is extremely beneficial to your magical strength, but..."
"Just what?" Susan asked hastily.
"You two," Xie Lin said indifferently, "you both failed the test just now."
"Ah!" Both girls exclaimed at the same time, showing extremely disappointed expressions.
"To be honest, it's nothing," Xie Lin said in a deep voice, "You are all my friends, as long as you are ready, you can tell me at any time, and I can bring you here to try again."
"Really?" Zhang Qiu showed a surprised expression, and Susan beside her also had an expression of anticipation and excitement.
"Of course it's true," Xie Lin smiled. "After all, Mr. Zhang and Aunt Liya have given me a lot of help and advice. Let this be a reward for their kindness! However, you must promise me not to reveal the secret of this secret passage to anyone else!"
The two girls nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, that's the end of today's adventure!" Xie Lin continued, "I'll send you back first, Daphne and the others are still waiting for me!"
The two girls seemed to have guessed something. They looked at each other tacitly, but they didn't have any intention of turning around.In the end, Zhang Qiuxian summoned up his courage, "That—"
"What's behind the secret passage? Can we participate in the past?" Although they knew that the so-called "Daphne and the others" were most likely the Slytherins that Sherin was closest to, they still couldn't restrain the discomfort that emerged in their hearts. This feeling of being excluded was really uncomfortable, especially after knowing that the contents of the secret passage were likely to be beneficial to their strength growth.
"Knowing too much may not be a good thing." Xie Lin glanced back and forth between the two of them, and said meaningfully: "Behind the secret path is my greater secret. So far, the people who can participate in it are my closest and most trusted people. Once you know this secret, you will inevitably be involved. There is no turning back. Have you figured it out?"
Xie Lin's gray pupils were shining brightly, especially in this somewhat dark secret passage, which seemed a little permeable. I don't know if it was due to psychological effects. Both girls could feel the gusts of wind in the dark passage, and the temperature in the air seemed to have dropped. Even the milky white brilliance emitted by the three light balls floating in the air seemed no longer so soft and warm...
There was an inexplicable chill behind the two girls.In the shadows, the usual gentleness on Xie Lin's face in front of him gradually became blurred, making people feel a little strange and strange.
Zhang Qiu was a little hesitant and flinched at first, but when she thought of Xie Lin's consistent gentlemanly demeanor and gentle style, his good reputation for being friendly to other academies, and most importantly, her uncle Zhang He's evaluation of Xie Lin, she couldn't help but think of the process of Xie Lin helping her master the Patronus Charm during the summer vacation. A faint blush appeared on her face, and she suddenly had a decision in her heart.
She gritted her teeth secretly, forcibly suppressing the uneasiness in her heart. She stared closely at Xie Lin's eyes with a hint of firmness in her eyes, and said, "Whether it's the magic marks just now or your question now, it's a test, right?"
There was a hint of admiration in Schelling's eyes, but he said nothing.
Seeing Xie Lin's eyes, Zhang Qiu confirmed what she thought in her heart. The hesitation in her heart disappeared, and a strange look glowed in her eyes. Her voice was low and powerful: "I failed the test just now, I lost to fear—"
"This time, I won't make the same mistake again—"
"I've decided—I want to participate in your so-called secret," Zhang Qiu's tone became firmer, "I've made it clear that even if I can't turn back, I will never regret it."
With Zhang Qiu taking the lead, Susan also nodded and joined the ranks of agreeing.
"Don't worry!" Xie Lin's usual gentle smile returned to his face, which made the atmosphere in the secret passage much warmer, and even the three light spheres seemed to become brighter than before.
"You won't regret today's decision," Xie Lin took the lead and stepped forward, then waved his hand to signal the two to follow. "What you will come into contact with is—an opportunity to determine the future destiny of the world!"
