Chapter 347: Three Vassal Clans

Seeing this horrifying and tragic scene, Peter Pettigrew and McNeill, who had been quietly standing by to witness the whole process, felt their lips dry and their tongues parched. They swallowed at the same time and looked at Schelling with eyes full of awe.

Although Xie Ling looked young, his vicious mind and cruel methods were no less than Voldemort's, and it could even be said that he was even more terrifying than Voldemort.

The glorious image he displayed outside was completely different from the dark image he displayed inside the Panlong Dungeon - just imagine how terrifying the scheming character, strategy and wisdom of a young man who could possess both the personalities of Dumbledore and Voldemort must be.

They all couldn't help but secretly rejoice that it was a wise decision for them to surrender to Xie Ling first.

Xieling snapped his fingers and untied the "snake binding technique" on them. They completely ignored the pain all over their bodies and dragged their weak and seriously injured bodies, crawling to Xieling and kissing the hem of Xieling's wizard robe.

Except for one person——

Troveen Selwyn.

It would be a lie to say that Selwyn wasn't afraid, otherwise he wouldn't have fainted from fright.

However, the hatred between him and Schelling was deeper than anyone else - his daughter mysteriously disappeared in Hogwarts a few months ago and there has been no news since. In his heart, she is in great danger, and it is obvious that Schelling is involved in this matter; his wife was burned to ashes in the battle with Schelling's puppet army last night, and no trace of her body is left.

The hatred for killing his wife and taking his daughter is irreconcilable, so even though his heart and will have been crushed by Schelling, the deep hatred still retains his last bit of sanity, preventing him from truly submitting to Schelling.

Schelling had anticipated this, and turned a blind eye to the hatred in Troven's eyes, pretending he didn't hear it, allowing him to sit on the ground and glare at him. Instead, he looked at the four Death Eaters who had surrendered in front of him.

"Coban, Claude, Squal, Bahaza, listen to me..." Xielin changed his previous cold tone and said softly: "I, Xielin, am not a tyrannical and bloodthirsty person. As long as they are loyal to me and useful to me, I will take them in regardless of past grudges. From today on..."

"As long as you work for me wholeheartedly and have no second thoughts, and prove your worth with your strength and talent, I will naturally give you certain benefits in return..." Xie Ling said calmly: "Even as for Voldemort, you don't have to worry about his revenge. I will take care of everything."

"Thank you, great master!" The four of them responded in unison. If someone didn't know, they would think this was a long-trained army.

"Corban Yaxley!"

"I'm here! What do you want from me, master?" Upon hearing his name, Yaxley responded hurriedly.

"From today on, the Yaxley family officially becomes a vassal of the Malfoy family, on par with the Goyle family and the Crabbe family. Do you have any objection?" Sherin asked coldly.

"I dare not have any objection. Everything is up to the master." Yaxley responded loudly without any hesitation. Avery's experience was still vivid in his mind. At this moment, he had already forgotten the family honor. In his heart, proving his loyalty to Sherin was the most important thing.

"Very good. I am very satisfied with your attitude now." Xie Lin raised his lips slightly, revealing a wicked smile. "Since you are so sensible, I will not treat my subordinates unfairly. You can keep all the wealth of your family, as well as all the titles and names of your family in the past - this includes all tangible and intangible assets. You can rest assured that I always keep my word and will never touch a single cent."

"Thank you, master! I will always remember your magnanimity." Yaxley said hurriedly with a look of joy on his face.

The Yaxley family is one of the 28 sacred pure-blood families. In today's world where pure-blood families are dying out, it is one of the few powerful families left in Great Britain. It belongs to the first echelon, and its history can be traced back to the Middle Ages. The wealth it has accumulated is quite astonishing.

Moreover, retaining the family title also means that he can maintain his original reputation and social status - after leaving here, he will still be the arrogant head of the Yaxley family in front of others, instead of being like Goyle and Crabbe, who are inherently inferior to others in social status. There is a reason why Schelling treats Yaxley so well. First, the power of the Yaxley family cannot be underestimated. It is unrealistic to directly swallow up the power of the entire family. Doing so will also waste Yaxley's reputation and status. These so-called fame and status themselves are invisible forces that can be used by Schelling;

Secondly, strictly speaking, the Yaxley family was the first pure-blood family to become a vassal of Shalling. Although Goyle and Crabbe were also vassals of the Malfoy family, they were dependent on Lucius, not Shalling. For Shalling, this made a difference, as he needed a subordinate who was loyal to him, not one who would blindly be loyal to the overlord family he was dependent on.

"But..." Sherin changed the subject and said softly, "Except for wealth and titles, everything else of the Yaxley family must be handed over, including the affiliated families that are attached to you... They must sign a new magic contract and swear allegiance to me again... And the Yaxley family is a traditional noble family among pure-blood families. There must be a lot of valuable books and precious magic collections in the family, especially books on dark magic and treasures with dark magic... And all the core inheritance of your family, whether it is secret magic, spells, or exclusive knowledge and technology, I want them all, do you understand?"

Yaxley was shocked when he heard this. Although the conditions sounded quite harsh, compared to Avery's tragic end, he could now not only retain his rights as a human being, but also retain his family's wealth and status. This was already a pleasant surprise, and he really didn't dare to ask for more.

"Yes! I understand!" Yaxley said, "I have two vassal families, the Quigley family and the Cadwallader family. I will write a letter to them today and ask them to swear allegiance to their master as soon as possible."

"Quigley... Cadwalladr..." Schelling had heard of these two families before. In his impression, they were not powerful families. Their power was even weaker than Goyle and Crabbe, probably between the third and fourth echelons. However, Schelling inexplicably felt familiar with these two surnames. He said casually, "Well, that's it for now - although they will be directly loyal to me and obey my orders, I will place them below you, on par with the Higgs family, the Warrington family, and the Montague family."

Speaking of Higgs and the others, Schelling suddenly remembered where that familiar feeling came from.

It's Quidditch!

Terence Higgs, Cassius Warrington and Graham Montague were all Slytherin Quidditch players.

Isn't the surname Quigley the surname of Finbar Quigley, the beater of the Irish Quidditch team in the 1994 Quidditch World Cup final last summer?

Finbar Quigley was also a professional player for the Ballycastle Bats. Later, in a media interview, when Gwenog Jones, the captain of the Holyhead Harpies, proudly mentioned to the reporter of the Daily Prophet that their fans were increasing, Finbar, who was also being interviewed, did not dare to disagree because he was afraid of being turned into a loser by Gwenog.

Of course, although he himself was afraid of Gwenog's power, it did not mean that his talents in Quidditch and flying should be denied. Otherwise, how could he be selected into the starting lineup of the Irish Quidditch team which was full of strong players.

As for the surname Cadwallader, it is also related to Quidditch.

Ulig Cadwallader of Hufflepuff is the Chaser of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. Schelling, who is familiar with all the plots of the original novel, remembers that in the description of the 2014 Quidditch World Cup on the original author's official website Pottermore, Ulig became the Seeker of the Welsh Quidditch team.

Uh……

In this way, the vassal families under Sherin can almost form a Quidditch team.
