Chapter 251 Batty's Mission
"The McFasty clan?" Old Batty asked suspiciously, "The dragon raising clan? What happened to them?"
Xie Lin smiled but did not answer, his smile became more and more incomprehensible and unpredictable in Old Barty's eyes, "I need their strength, for this reason I want you to go through this for me, and find a way to get them to join our camp."
Old Batty remained silent. The McFasty clan had always lived far away in the uninhabited and wild mountains of the Hebrides.
Old Batty's knowledge of it mainly comes from the Ministry of Magic. Every year, the Ministry of Magic's Taxation Bureau and the Department of Magical Beasts Control routinely send people there to inspect the dragon's breeding situation, mainly to ensure that there is no risk of exposing the dragon to Muggles, strictly abide by the provisions of the International Statute of Secrecy, and collect the tax payment for that year.Besides, he didn't know much about this mysterious clan.
However, this does not mean that this clan is easy to mess with.
Today, at the end of the twentieth century, the word "clan" has almost become a thing of the past.Even the most powerful pure-blood groups only dare to call themselves "family" rather than clan.
The biggest difference between a clan and a family is that a clan is a large clan with the same ancestor and the same surname. On the basis of common economic life, a clan has formed a common language, habits and primitive religious beliefs.Their leaders are called patriarchs, or patriarchs, rather than patriarchs.It can be said that the so-called families are actually split from the ancient clan.
A family can have as few as four members like the Malfoy family, or it can be as sprawling as the Black family, but the number of people will never exceed 100, and even 50 people are very difficult.And the clan, even if it is the smallest clan in the history of Great Britain, must have one or two hundred members.
According to a secret report from the Ministry of Magic, there are at least 100 members of the McFasty clan on the surface, most of them are wizards, and less than [-]% of them are composed of squibs. Squibs are generally assigned to plant crops, repair and clean the clan castles, and have no status in the clan.
Old Batty can safely assume that there are at least seventy to eighty adult wizards in this clan, and it would not be a problem if the number of underage wizards is over a hundred.
But such a number of people is almost equivalent to the sum of the number of Aurors, strikers, and reconnaissance teams of the three major military forces of the Ministry of Magic.
How easy is it to recruit them?
"Don't worry," Schelling's tone was so calm that he couldn't hear his anger. "Since I entrusted you with the task, it means that I think you are capable of completing it for me. I will not give you an 'impossible task'. I will assign you a helper." He paused and crossed a small island on the map. "You should go to this place first. This is the island of Hemetra, where Sigismund Bach lived in seclusion. Now it is an uninhabited desert island. Someone will come to meet you there yours."
Xie Lin showed a confident smile, "In any case, with your current situation, it is not suitable for you to appear in the public eye. This will make you a target of mysterious people." He continued, "Going away from the British mainland and going to isolated islands overseas is extremely beneficial to hiding your existence, and I just need someone who can speak well and understand people's hearts to do this for me. Letting you do it is just a win-win situation that is beneficial to you and me."
Seeing Xie Lin's confident smile, for some reason, Barty's inner worries and uneasiness suddenly faded a lot, and he felt that this task would not be too difficult.The wisdom and skills that Xie Lin had shown before were also one of the factors that gave him strong confidence. After all, Xie Lin did not seem to be someone who would do stupid things like sending his own people to die.
Schelling was, of course, quite sure.
The so-called dragon-raising clan is actually just a large number of people. In such a group with a common economic life, everyone revolves around the dragon-raising industry, which is doomed to the singleness and predictability of their magic.As Schelling got involved and deepened in different fields of magic, he realized more and more that complex means combined with sophisticated tactics are the kingly way of actual combat.
Rather than being proficient in a single magic, Xie Lin prefers to let Sleeping Dragon Club absorb talents from different fields, and develop in the direction of diversified magic.
This can be seen from the various arrangements he has made for the strength training of the six girls under him - Daphne is good at offensive spells and frontal combat, Murray is good at analyzing and cracking magic spells (such as studying the Fidelity Curse), Zhang Qiu is good at transfiguration, Luna is summoning flow, Astoria is potion, Susan is good at defensive magic...
The helpers Xie Lin arranged for old Batty were naturally able to restrain the characters of the Dragon Clan——
Germany's first pure-blood family, the Hohenheim family.
The alchemist team led by the current owner, Cordes von Hohenheim, will set up a dragon seal around the island where the McFasty clan castle is located, limiting their combat power to the greatest extent.
As for the terrain around the castle, traps, detection and defense magic, and even evil curses against foreign invaders, Schelling also arranged another group of helpers for him——
Professional adventurers, spellbreakers and wilderness survival fighters of the Medieval Guild of Wizards and Silver Spears.
Led by the "clown" who is one of the four great witch masters of the Silver Spear, these people will serve as the main frontal combat force after the dragon seal takes effect, cracking the various defense mechanisms and settings on the island, and then serving as a frontal deterrent.
Just in case, Schelling also asked the Romanian dragon farm to send several experienced pyromologists and dragon trainers to accompany him. Besides serving as old Batty's bodyguards, he could also increase the negotiation chips between old Batty and the McFasty clan, and let them know that even if their entire clan was wiped out, Schelling was not incapable of taking over the business of the Hebrides black dragon breeding area.
Of course, if possible, Xie Lin would not want to launch a war against such a powerful force, and the most ideal situation would be to subdue them peacefully.
Xie Lin believed in his allies, and in the survival wisdom of such an ancient clan. In the face of absolute power, they would know how to choose.
The conversation between Batty Sr. and Schelling ended here.
Schelling handed old Batty a special alchemy bracelet. The bracelet was made of strong black gold forged by goblins. It was engraved with mysterious magic marks, including spiritual magic that could resist the Imperius Curse, and magic that could shield his name, making it impossible for owls and most known tracking magic to track his whereabouts.
In this way, there is no need to worry about the safety of old Batty.Anyway, Barty Jr. thought he was dead, and it was unlikely that he would continue to take other actions against him.This alchemy bracelet is just that Xie Lin, who is cautious by nature, wants to add an extra layer of insurance to his plan.
Schelling returned to Hogwarts Castle through the secret passage again, while Old Barty took a rest in the basement of Miracle Alchemy, then passed through the one-time floo network specially opened for him by Schelling's internal line in the Ministry of Magic, and left through the stove.
[The "Allies" Crouch family got it! 】
After doing so many things, Xie Lin no longer has any sleepiness.After returning to the quiet dormitory bedroom, he first sat on the bed and read a book for a while, then thought about it, and decided to enter the suitcase space since he couldn't fall asleep anyway.
In the suitcase space, in addition to the private laboratory that Xie Lin showed Luna not long ago, he also expanded a dungeon on the basement level.It was the four Hogwarts students who were captured by him during the battle at the bottom of the lake in the second project.
For setting readers: The plot line of the Silver Spear has been deleted (that is, the Silver Spear test in Diagon Alley), and the setting of the Silver Spear organization is revealed here. The four major wizards are "bishop", "knight", "killer" and "clown".The author will give it a try and see if they can make their appearance in the duel contest,
