Chapter 168 Distribution of Bases
The two played in St. Catchpole Village for a few days (Schelin was home during the period, and he did not stay overnight at Luna's house). Luna took Xie Lin to catch the waterball fish in the stream near the valley bridge, and then Luna showed her cooking skills. After adding airship plums, pimple vine pods, etc. to the stew pot, the waterball fish was boiled into fish soup. Although the taste is very strange and unique, it is actually not bad.
"How does it taste?" Luna asked in a dreamy tone as she watched Xie Lin drink up the fish soup in the bowl with her bright eyes.
"Well, a very strange combination," Schelling said honestly: "The umami taste of the ball fish is not covered by the taste of the airship plum and the pimple vine pods, but it blends together to form a taste that I can't describe. But the taste is really good...I like it very much."
There was a bright smile on Luna's face, and a strange brilliance flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Since my mother passed away, I have basically been cooking at home. This is the masterpiece I am most proud of. I have tried at least 50 times to cook this taste..."
She paused, then continued to smile and said, "Dad likes the fish soup I cook the most. He said it has a soul-touching taste."
Touch the soul by the tip of the tongue?How did the style of gourmet literature and painting appear?
Xie Lin shook his head, dispelling these strange thoughts from his mind, and then solemnly said to Luna: "Luna, your cooking skills are unique just like your people... Your creativity, your eclecticism, and your unconstrained imagination are the most valuable things in you. As your friend, I want to tell you, I hope you..."
"Never lose your truest self."
"Yeah." Luna's eyes became brighter, she looked straight at Xie Lin, which made Xie Lin feel a little embarrassed, and hurriedly found a reason and changed the topic.
Schelling spent a few days of leisure in this way, and he cherished this short few days very much.
Luna's carefree, peaceful and natural character and temperament deeply touched Schelling, and it can even be said that it influenced Schelling, allowing him to let go of all kinds of defenses, calculations, plans, responsibilities and burdens in his heart, and let go of the heavy shackles that were oppressed by himself and the expectations of others, and feel a rare spiritual relaxation.
In his previous life, he was a somewhat disobedient and deviant adventurer who lived an unrestrained and free adventurous life (of course he still had to listen to his patron, but he was still relatively free compared to social animals).
In this life, he lived a completely different life.The moment he decided to change the fate of the family, he almost embarked on the road of no return for hegemony.It must be explained here that at that time, he was still a little naive and naive in character and thinking. Although he had already prepared himself, he never thought that the road to hegemony would be so difficult, full of thorns and difficulties, and he never thought that there would be enemies other than Voldemort.
In the first two years, the plot didn't deviate much from the original book, and he still gained a lot, gaining the Sorcerer's Stone, Basilisk materials, servant Dobby, the broom company, as well as practical experience and heroic prestige.
Who knows, the further the plot goes, the more plots that deviate from the original will appear.All of this changed even more after Meredith was kidnapped. Now, whether it is for Meredith or for the followers who have taken refuge in him, on this road to hegemony, There is no turning back.
He has set up a banner, and has set up an enemy for himself.At this moment, if he shrinks back because of fear of difficulties, perhaps his followers can still protect the family after paying the price, but he himself will definitely not end well.
Therefore, in this life, he has really shouldered too much.
Of course, the character has also grown a lot.
In his spare time, Schelling also pondered how to make good use of Ella's hut.
Now he has several strongholds.
The secret path of the mirror on the fifth floor is connected to the basement of the Miracle Alchemy Workshop in Hogsmeade Village. This is his main base. All the activities, magic guidance, and actual combat exercises of all members of the Sleeping Dragon Club are carried out here.However, Xie Lin knew the principle of the Three Caverns of the Rabbit very well. Although Xie Lin had used various means to ensure the loyalty of the members, in order to prevent the members from betraying due to some unexpected external reasons, Xie Lin did not share all the secret rooms he had with the members.
In his heart, he divided all the members of the Sleeping Dragon Club into three classes.
The first type is the people he is closest to or trusts, such as Daphne, Murray, house elves, etc. These belong to the "core members", and their loyalty is beyond doubt, so they have the authority to enter the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.Generally, as long as it is a major or confidential plan, they will choose to meet and discuss in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.
Although Narel, who was in grade 6, had been to this secret room before, she was directly transported by the elves, and she herself did not know where the secret room was or how to enter it.From Xie Lin's point of view, Zhang Qiu, Susan, and Luna also seem to be trustworthy. Although Xie Lin is still examining their ability and loyalty, he is already considering promoting them to the inner circle.
The second is the little wizards of Slytherin, who are full members.It's not that he discriminates against young wizards from other colleges, but that Slytherin, who is the initial team member, has followed him the longest and already has a sense of belonging to the organization. Moreover, in terms of pure interest, those snakes from mixed blood or weak families are natural allies of Xie Lin. As long as there are no uncontrollable factors, their chances of rebellion are extremely low.
In addition to knowing the secret path of the mirror on the fifth floor, these little snakes can also use Daphne or Astoria to take advantage of the opportunity to contribute to the organization in exchange for access to the organization's library or personal advice from Schelling.
The third is the newly added Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw little wizards, who are peripheral members.In this case, they must contribute to the organization to demonstrate their loyalty and worth.
This requires a long period of investigation.If a traitor really appeared and leaked the existence of the organization, what Schelling lost was actually just a secret passage on the fifth floor, and he still had three backups: suitcase space, Slytherin secret room, and Ravenclaw secret room.
The significance of Ella Cabin to Schelling is that it gave Schelling a secret base to act outside the school.
According to the development of the plot, there is a high probability that Schelling will not stay at Hogwarts until the 7th grade graduation.So an off-campus stronghold will come in handy then.
The existence of Ella's cottage is no secret. Almost all the guests who have attended Druella's funeral know that Schelling inherited this small house.To transform it into a secret stronghold, there is only one way——
Crazy Loyalty Curse.
The Fidelity Charm is an extremely complex spell with many restrictions.This spell is extremely demanding.
First of all, wanting to transform a secret into an invisible imprint into the soul is a step that requires extremely high magic power of the caster.Without Auror-level magical power, it is basically impossible to pass this threshold.
Second, if the secret is not just a simple place name, but involves the caster himself, or the keeper himself, then there is a very high demand for an understanding of the nature of the spell.In the original book, Bill, the eldest of the Weasley family, can cast this spell, imprinting the location of Shell Cottage, his married residence, on his own soul, making himself a secret keeper.
In fact, Bill's approach is the most reasonable, optimal, and safest approach for the Fidelity Curse—the secret keeper himself hides in the secret, invulnerable and unbreakable.
However, this is actually due to Bill's many years of experience as a spellbreaker in Egypt, which gave him a very high level of attainment in Charms.
In contrast, although James Potter, who has just graduated, is quite talented in transfiguration, his level of magic spells is mediocre.Otherwise, he could have set the secret keeper as himself, or Lily, and the whole Harry Potter storyline would never have started.
Xie Lin is confident that his magic power must be enough. If it is really not enough, he can also borrow the Philosopher's Stone to increase his magic power.So there is absolutely no problem for him to cast the Fidelity Curse, but if he doesn't want to repeat James' mistake, then he still needs to find ways to improve his understanding of the spell.
There are not many books about the Fidelity Curse, but there are several in Xie Lin's collection, and Xie Lin has read all of them, and he has mastered all the basic theories.However, in order to be safe, he still intends to look for higher-level and more esoteric shielding magic materials, and it just so happens that there is such a book in the black magic book inherited from Druella's inheritance-"Cracking the Shadow" The Secret in ".
This book is written by a senior tomb robber black wizard, and it is full of information on how he uses black magic, soul sacrifice, and life sacrifice to decipher the shielding magic and defensive magic in various ancient tombs.
It also mentions the Fidelity Curse, and believes that although this spell cannot be broken, it is not suitable for protecting secrets such as ancient tombs, because this spell is too dependent on the Secret Keeper. Once the Secret Keeper passes away, everyone who knows the secret will automatically become the Secret Keeper. If there is no one who can inherit the secret, then the magic will fail and the secret will be automatically revealed.
Of course, the value of this book is not in the description of the Fidelity Curse, but in the cracking and nature of other shielding magics that appear in the book. These are all knowledge that Schelling can refer to to enhance his understanding of the Fidelity Curse.
Having said that, Schelling discovered that Lovegood's family also had a lot of precious magic books.Most of them are the spell notes of Luna's mother Pandora. She is an excellent spell master and has created many special spells. Even Miranda Gosak, the author of "Standard Spells", has publicly expressed her appreciation for her.Her notes on creating spells were also quite instructive for Schelling.
Seeing Xie Lin looking through Pandora's notes as if they were treasures, Luna gave Xie Lin the entire set of notes after obtaining Xenophilius' consent.
[Pandora's spell notes obtained! 】
Time passed day by day.
Fast forward to January 1th and Hogwarts begins.
James explained why he did not choose himself and Lily as the secret keeper. As for why he did not choose Dumbledore, the author believes that it is because Dumbledore is old and at risk of dying from natural causes or illnesses;
Choosing Sirius was actually his best choice at that time.
