Chapter 176
Although Daphne was still behind the group of "mermaids" and was still in a comatose state where she couldn't resist, Xie Lin didn't worry about her at all.
Dumbledore must have also thought about the safety of these hostages. After all, mermaids are not loyal comrades-in-arms of wizards, and it is difficult to guarantee whether there are some undiscovered creatures lurking at the bottom of this vast and boundless black lake.Therefore, Schelling can be sure that Dumbledore must have personally used protective measures on these hostages to prevent them from being harmed in their sleep.
In addition, don't forget the five protective bracelets worn by Daphne. These are all masterpieces of Schelling's painstaking efforts. All of them can be activated independently when the wearer is in crisis. Let's take "Guardian of the Gods" as an example-unless the elite Auror uses powerful magic similar to the death curse, it is possible to penetrate it at one time.
With Dumbledore's protective magic, coupled with the backup left by Schelling, it is enough to guarantee her life safety.
Therefore, what Xie Lin needs to worry about is actually only himself.
But is he worried?
The seven mermaids swung their long silver tails instantly, surrounding Xie Lin's left and right sides, and the expression on the face of the mermaid leader gradually became ferocious.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you, Mr. Malfoy." The face of the mermaid leader gradually faded, and slowly transformed into Katarin's appearance, but apart from the face, neither the mermaid's green hair nor the fish-shaped lower body changed.Katarin showed a girly sweet smile, "You know it's a trap but you forced your way in, I really have to admire your courage..."
Xie Lin looked at her with interest. This is not the effect that can be achieved by body transformation or compound decoction.Among the known magics, the magic that can transform a wizard into a magical creature is a taboo field. For example, if an Animagus becomes a magical creature, he will pay the price of being cursed; another example is the beast transformation in the blood curse, and he will lose the ability to transform back into a human form one day; except for one exception——
Schelling's original "Zengamagus"!
However, there is a very high threshold for the practice of morphing magus, and before Schelling, there has been no record of anyone using this magic for more than 1000 years.Schelling himself would not spread this original magic.
So, this is definitely not Transfiguration!
As for magic such as illusion, it is even more impossible, because illusion cannot deceive Xie Lin's magical eyes. The mermaid breath exuded by these people is genuine. Xie Lin has a feeling that in this state, their combat power in the water is likely to increase several times or more, which is not much different from his own "amphibious transformation" transformation mystery.
In just a short moment, Xie Lin's mind had already considered and ruled out countless possibilities.
Xie Lin thought about it, but could only think of one possibility——
He turned his gaze to the other merfolk behind Katarin.
At this time, the other seven mermaids also changed their faces one by one, revealing faces familiar to Schelling—Eleanor von Hohenheim, Hector Foley, the seventh-year Slytherin prefect Lucida Slughorn, Irina Selwyn, Miles Blake, the long-lost Gallup Lestrange...and the last one——
Draco Malfoy.
Well, almost all of them matched the list in Xie Lin's mind.
Even Draco's sudden appearance couldn't make even the slightest ripple in Xie Lin's peaceful heart.
He didn't look at Draco, but cast his eyes on Eleanor.
This is not transfiguration, nor illusion, but - alchemy!
The human body is made!
What a great deal!The eight of them must all be wearing some kind of legendary magical artifact refined by advanced alchemy. Schelling could even speculate that this magical artifact is specially used to refine human bodies of different types, and it is most likely not the right way.From Schelling's understanding of the Hohenheim family, it is more likely that this alchemy involved dark-type sacrificial magic.
That's why those mermaids showed such fearful expressions when they saw the wizard just now.
Schelling's conclusion is that this magical artifact that can transform into a mermaid most likely needs to sacrifice the flesh and soul of the mermaid!
It is not difficult to imagine the whole incident.
Just last night, six little wizards used unknown means to escape the surveillance of the staff of the Triwizard Tournament and hid at the bottom of the lake.Since Slytherin's dormitories are all single rooms, and there are no classes at Hogwarts today, it is almost difficult to detect.
The six little wizards spent the whole night controlling all the underwater creatures they could find with a spell similar to the Imperius Curse, ordering them to search for Schelling to attack.Then, as soon as the other two female warriors entered the bottom of the lake this morning, they joined them immediately, and gave a massacre to the mermaids, sacrificed their flesh and soul, activated the transformation artifact, and then turned into mermaids and waited here.
Schelling is very sure that his guess is close to the truth.
Xie Lin's eyes were piercing, and only those who were familiar with him, such as Draco, could clearly see the cold flames flickering in his eyes, which was fighting intent.
He hadn't experienced this feeling for too long—the magic power suddenly seemed to come alive, running happily in his body, and he could even hear the joy hidden in the fluctuation of the magic power.At this moment, his spirit has reached a strange balance. The eager and exuberant fire-like fighting spirit and the clean ice-like calm coexist in his body, making his whole body feel more comfortable than ever before.
These changes are actually faintly reflected in his exposed temperament.
None of the wizards on the opposite side were mediocre, and they all noticed the change in Xie Lin almost instantly - one second, he was clearly a gentle and gentle prince of the sea, and the next second he suddenly turned into a sea overlord who is decisive, disregarding life, and taking life and death.
Gallup, who had suffered a great loss from Schelling, originally planned to take revenge on Schelling. At this moment, for some reason, he had dismissed that idea, and at the same time, an extremely absurd idea appeared in his mind. There were eight of them, and there were so many people, why did they feel as if they were surrounded by the other party alone?
"It seems—" Xie Lin showed a harmless smile and said, "You and Eleanor didn't come here to participate in the triwizard hegemony. You didn't come here to win the championship. Your goal was me from the beginning, right?"
Seeing that the other party didn't intend to answer at all, Xie Lin had no choice but to ask himself and answer: "Then I'm curious. I'm just a little wizard in the fourth grade, and at best I have a bit of fame. What exactly do you want from me?"
"When I was in the second grade, I did have—" Schelling glanced at Irina, Miles, and Gallup one by one, "Some of the pure-blood family disciples between you had a small conflict... But I think, this kind of kid-level squabbling won't lead to your ghost club's action?" At this time, he cast his meaningful gaze on Hector Foley.
"Hmph!" Hector snorted coldly, "Don't pretend that we don't know, that traitor Gemma is out to deal with you on the surface, but in fact, he is lenient, and even revealed our purpose of controlling you—you already know the existence and purpose of our Ghost Society, do you still need to pretend here?"
"Listen to your tone..." Xie Lin's voice suddenly turned cold, as if he was suppressing his anger, the cold flames in his eyes became more intense, "Did Gemma encounter misfortune?"
"Betray the organizer, the only end is death!" The corner of Hector's mouth curled up, and a trace of perverted madness appeared in his pupils, "Hahaha, she deserved what she deserved!"
"Very well, I'll settle this account with you later..." Sherin said indifferently, as if Gemma's life and death had nothing to do with him anymore, and had no effect on his state of mind. "Let's go back to the topic just now. For the sake of the organization's inheritance, the Ghost Society wants to control me to achieve the purpose of effectively controlling Slytherin House. Then—"
"What does this have to do with you?" This time, he turned his attention to Katharine and Eleanor, "The dignified French family, the dignified European first alchemy family..."
"What on earth did I do to attract your two big families..." He paused, showing a mocking smile, "Where's Walpurgis behind you?"
Katarin's face changed slightly, although it was not obvious, but it was still noticed by Schelling.Still maintaining a sweet smile, she said, "I can only say... you are indeed Mr. Malfoy! You know a lot... at least you know a lot more than I expected..."
"Although I don't know how you learned about Walpurgis..." She smiled, "But none of this is important anymore..." Her eyes flashed a cold light, "Everything will end today..."
"Is it time to do something?" Xie Lin smiled lightly, his face was still so calm, but a cold light was already looming in those shining eyes.
"It's really boring! It's obviously an angelic face..." Xie Lin said, "but he doesn't even have the heart to make me understand..." The corners of his raised mouth suddenly smoothed, and he said coldly: "It's not a secret—"
"Walpurgis came to me because of the crime square?"
Ever since Schelling learned from Dumbledore that Walpurgis had participated in this Triwizard Tournament, he hadn't thought much about why Walpurgis came to him, and how much hatred it was for a powerful organization that used to hide behind the scenes to take the risk of being exposed to find fault with him.
The reason was on that interesting list he had received from Alvin Carroll.That's actually the list of members of Walpurgis in Great Britain!
If this list falls into the hands of ordinary people, at first glance, they will only think it is the list of the heads of powerful pure-blood families, and may even be mistaken for the list of Death Eaters. However, after careful comparison by Schelling, it is not difficult to find that many of them are the heads of the families who contributed funds but did not personally participate in the first wizarding war, such as Alvin Carlo, Leobold Slughorn and so on.
What's interesting is that these patriarchs all have inexplicable relationships with Black Sin Square. The evidence obtained from a large number of Auror searches shows that if you want to participate in the auction in Black Sin Square, you must have the recommendation of the head of the pure-blood family on the list!
The fact that the two lists completely overlap each other is enough for Schelling to deduce that the whole matter is almost inseparable.
Katarin froze for a moment, then recovered in an instant, her face was icy cold, "I didn't expect you to know this, so I can't tolerate you...do it!"
