Chapter 357 Bounty Hunter

Xie Ling exhaled softly, massaged his temples on both sides of his head with his fingers, closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair with a tired look on his face and rested.

At this moment, my eyes, which were still cooling down, felt a slight stinging sensation.

The effect of the secret of "Absolute Domination" is truly amazing. Even Selwyn, who is full of hatred and vigilance, can have his personality and memory rewritten by Schelling, turning his mortal enemy into a loyal follower.

However, everything has a price - the more powerful and domineering the magic, the more dangerous its side effects will be.

This secret requires too much energy and eye power.

Although this was not the first time that Schelling had used "Absolute Domination", he usually only used it to implant fragments of memory, or to plant an idea in the recipient's spiritual world, thereby influencing the recipient's thoughts and ideas.

To transform a person's long life trajectory into memory fragments and reconstruct them according to one's own ideas, this level of loss is still not to be underestimated for Schelling.

Even though Xie Ling's mental power has reached the pinnacle of the contemporary wizarding world today, with his mental power and pupil power, he can only perform this skill once in a month without causing permanent damage to his pupils.

This is why, even though he possesses such a unique skill, he has only used this secret twice so far - once against Rita Skeeter, who is proficient in brain occlusion, and the other time is today's Troveen Selwyn.

These two people are an indispensable part of Schelling's plan and play extremely important roles.

Rita is the talent that Schelling needs most to lead the intelligence network, while Selwyn is the benchmark of the extreme faction of bloodline theory in the pure-blood family.

To win over the two of them would basically mean occupying a whole new level in the intelligence network and the pureblood family.

As for the other Death Eaters, they were obviously not qualified enough for Schelling to perform this secret, so Schelling chose to make complicated preparations in advance, and spent a lot of effort to defeat their minds with fear, and finally subdue them with words, instead of directly brainwashing and subduing them with the simple and easy method of "absolute domination".

At this moment, Peter Pettigrew was the only one left in the Panlong Dungeon. He looked a little frightened because he didn't know why Schelling asked everyone to leave and left him alone here.

Xie Ling still kept his eyes closed and said, "Peter Pettigrew..."

"I'm here," Peter Pettigrew replied hastily, "What do you want, Master?"

"Do you know why I kept you here?" Xie Ling's mouth corners slightly raised.

Peter Pettigrew's expression was confused and a little nervous. He shook his head and said, "Please forgive my ignorance. Master, please explain clearly."

Xie Ling raised two fingers of his left hand and said softly: "There are two main reasons for keeping you here. First, what is Voldemort's Horcrux?" After saying that, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp edge flashed in his deep eyes.

Peter Pettigrew didn't expect Schelling to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment, and a disgusting, horrible, and cruel memory gradually emerged in his mind...

After a long while, he came back to his senses and said hesitantly, "It was his yew wand, which was lost in the Potter's house. Later, I found it and gave it to him..."

It's a magic wand!
A gleam of light flashed in Xie Ling's eyes. Xie Ling had actually thought about this possibility, but he found it hard to believe that Voldemort would make this choice. After all, the wand itself is spiritual, and if it is made into a magic wand, many unknown changes will occur.

Now that we can confirm Voldemort's Horcrux, we will be more confident in dealing with him next time.

"The second thing is the unique skill of the Dark Queen Morgan le Fay. I seem to have seen you use it before... when you were at Hogwarts against Sirius and Lupin... it was the black hole magic that released the magic that could devour other magic..." "Yes, that move is called the Magic Swallowing Vortex. It is the core secret of the Avalon School. If you practice it to a high level, it can devour all magic..." After saying that, he gently waved his wand, and a black mist gushed out, quickly spinning clockwise in the air, forming a small vortex.

"What an amazing magic!" Xie Ling stood up, walked closer to the vortex, looked at and observed the magic very carefully, and exclaimed with great admiration.

After careful observation, he discovered that this secret was not to directly devour the magic and decompose it into magic power, but was more like some kind of cross-space magic that transferred the magic directly to another dimension.

The other dimension mentioned here refers to a space similar to the "void space" connected between disappearing cabinets, which does not directly belong to this world.

Although Xie Ling also knows similar magic, his unique secret "Moon Turning and Star Shifting" which he comprehended from space magic is a skill that can transfer the enemy's attack to other places, but the "Demon Swallowing Vortex" has a mysterious suction force that can suck everything around it into a black hole.

The version performed by Peter Pettigrew was obviously a weakened version, with only a faintly noticeable suction attached to it. But Schelling clearly remembered that the black hole created by Morgan le Fay, Barbarossa, and Voldemort was like a giant beast in the universe. Its powerful suction made it impossible for anything around it to escape and swallowed it all up.

"Tell me everything you know about this magic!" Xie Ling said immediately.

"Yes," Peter Pettigrew began to explain in detail: "First, the magic power must be precisely controlled..."

[The secret magic of the Shadow of the Demonic Dragon, "Demon Swallowing Vortex", is learned! ]

An hour passed and everything was over.

The next step is to arrange Peter Pettigrew's destination.

Although Schelling is currently in short supply of personnel in intelligence, management, politics, and business, Peter Pettigrew is not good at these and has no experience in this area, and is obviously not suitable for these positions.

His only skill worth mentioning is that he can transform into a rat through Animagus - this skill greatly facilitates his lifestyle of hiding and fleeing. In addition, through communication with other rats, he has some advantages in finding lost treasures and tracking down the whereabouts of hidden people.

certainly--

Schelling knew that Peter Pettigrew was a coward and was better at escaping, hiding, and saving his life than fighting. In fact, his Animagus was the most suitable for concealment, stealth, and assassination in actual combat.

Moreover, Peter Pettigrew had just inherited the Hand of Evil, and needed a period of adaptation to become proficient in casting spells. Fighting and killing could also enhance the power of the Hand of Evil - the fastest way to adapt to the Hand of Evil and grow in strength was to participate in the most brutal actual combat and initiate the bloodiest killings.

Xie Ling pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered the "Bounty Hunter Guild" - this organization is a bit like a mercenary organization. As long as you are willing to pay enough, there will be people willing to do any job, including theft, kidnapping, murder, tracking, etc. There is almost no moral code.

Gunnar Grimsson in the second Fantastic Beasts movie is a bounty hunter who specializes in hunting dangerous magical animals. He is extremely despicable and unscrupulous, and is especially cruel to magical animals. He is at opposite ends of the spectrum from Newt Scamander, who loves magical animals, and there are many grudges between the two. Unfortunately, due to the length of the film, his role was drastically cut by the director, and even the scene of how he died was deleted, which is something that Schelling, as a fan of HP in his previous life, felt extremely sorry for.

The Duelist Guild "Silver Spear", which has some friendship with Schelling, actually has a similar organization inside it, called "Silver Shield". It is similar in nature to the "Adventurer's Guild" often mentioned in the Muggle world and can accept commissions from the outside world. However, this organization has a much stricter moral bottom line and is limited to activities such as vigilance, escort, bodyguard, and ruins exploration. If you have to say that there is an activity that is somewhat illegal, the only one is tomb robbing.

Of course, the two mercenary organizations, the Bounty Hunter Guild and the Silver Shield, actually have quite a lot of overlapping functions, so some members, even core members, hold membership in both sides at the same time. For example, "Killer", one of the four wizard masters of Silver Spear, is one of the best among them.

Although Xie Ling had no dealings with the Bounty Hunters Guild and did not know where their base was or how to contact them, Xie Ling had connections - he believed that as long as he informed Silver Spear, Silver Spear would be able to help him act as an introducer so that Peter Pettigrew could join the Bounty Hunters Guild and participate in various dangerous and brutal missions. It would be best if he could join a powerful team and take the opportunity to accumulate new connections.

Thinking of this, Xie Ling immediately waved his hand and put the True Dragon Throne into his pocket space, and then led Peter Pettigrew out of the Panlong Dungeon. (End of this chapter)
