Chapter 358: Ego's Appointment

Chapter 358: Ego's Appointment
After leaving the Panlong Dungeon, the two returned to the secret room behind the mirror on the fifth floor.

Xie Ling took out a pen and paper from his pocket space, quickly wrote a letter, gave it to Peter Pettigrew, and then called a young wizard from the Sleeping Dragon Society to lead Peter Pettigrew through the secret passage to Hogsmeade village - and then from there to the Silver Spear's office in Diagon Alley.

As one of the founders of the Marauder's Map, Peter Pettigrew naturally knew about this secret passage. However, the Miracle Alchemy Workshop, which served as the exit of the secret passage, was one of Schelling's bases. Schelling himself had set up extremely complex warning magic above the hole in the ground at the exit, so a young wizard who knew how to get through had to lead the way.

After arriving at Diagon Alley, Sherin believed that after reading Sherin's letter, the clerk of Silver Spear would know how to make arrangements for Peter Pettigrew that would satisfy Sherin.

After getting everything done, before I knew it, it was already night.

Xie Ling looked at his watch and couldn't help but sigh. It really took him a lot of time and effort to subdue this group of Death Eaters. Fortunately, everything finally developed according to the direction he had planned.

He didn't even have time to eat dinner before setting off for Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

When he arrived, Karkaroff and Daphne were already waiting there.

Karkaroff's face was full of impatience, and he kept pacing back and forth in the secret room. When he saw Xie Ling, his face suddenly looked relieved.

"Master Malfoy, look here," Karkaroff lifted the left sleeve of his robe and stretched out his arm. The Dark Mark, which was supposed to be a skull, was now burned into a blurred charred black. He said in a hoarse voice, "The Dark Lord is really resurrected. This is his secret signal to summon the Death Eaters back to him. I could already feel the mark burning last night - I knew he was back."

Xie Ling squinted his eyes at Karkaroff and said jokingly: "So... you are scared?"

"Of course I am afraid," Karkaroff was so flustered that he didn't even have the energy to retort. "I say, that's the Dark Lord - the most powerful dark wizard of all time. Who dares to say that they are not afraid of him?"

Xie Lin sneered disdainfully, "Just him? The strongest person in history?"

Karkaroff looked at Sherin with an expression of incomprehensible shock, as if he was looking at a madman. "Is it... not true? I remember Dumbledore said this himself. Even Grindelwald, who wreaked havoc across the world at the beginning of this century, could not match his power!"

"Uh..." Xie Ling shook his head. "I have never seen Grindelwald, so I won't comment on how powerful he is. I can only say that I saw Voldemort last night..."

"What? You really saw him? Is what Potter boy said true?" Karkaroff said doubtfully. He was of course sure of the fact that the Dark Lord had been resurrected, but he still found it hard to believe that three underage wizards, Shaylin, Harry and Hermione, could escape from Voldemort safely.

"Not only did I meet him, I almost got rid of him..." Xie Ling sighed, "Unfortunately, things took a turn I didn't expect. Voldemort joined forces with others."

What and what is this!

What does it mean that Voldemort was almost defeated by Schelling, and then had to join forces with others to fight against Schelling?

Karkaroff felt that his brain was not enough.

Xie Ling looked at Karkaroff's face and could guess what he was thinking. He said helplessly, "I knew you wouldn't believe it so easily. I'm too lazy to tell you the details again, Daphne..." Knowing his intention, Daphne immediately brought out a silver basin with strange alchemical runes engraved on it. It was a meditation basin.

The Pensieve is an extremely rare alchemical item. This is not because it has been lost like the Vanishing Cabinet and the Mirror of Erised, but because there are not many wizards who can use the Pensieve.

Yes, using the Pensieve is not like those nonsensical fan fictions about Schelling's past life, where you can just stick a magic wand into your temple to extract relevant memories.

In order to use it, the user must first have the ability to summarize and organize memories so that he can accurately extract the required memory fragments.

After extracting the memory, diving into it headfirst and foolishly watching it as if it were a movie will not bring you any inspiration.

What really needs to be done is to look at, think about, and analyze that memory from different angles over and over again. Memory is essentially a person's experience, full of personal emotions and style, and the user of the Pensieve must separate the facts from the noise.

Therefore, those who choose to use the meditation bowl are generally people with extremely high IQs.

Currently, there are only two known Pensieves in the British wizarding world. One is in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts. It is a special item for the current headmaster and has been passed down from generation to generation. The other is in the Ministry of Magic, kept in the interrogation room, and used by experienced telepaths to extract the memories of criminals.

The treasure in Sherin's hand was the third one, unknown to outsiders. It was the treasure he found in Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets.

He gathered his thoughts, gently inserted the magic wand into his temple, and then drew out a wisp of silver-emitting gas, put it into the meditation basin, and said, "Here, everything you want to know is here, go and see for yourself!"

About ten minutes later.

Karkaroff regained consciousness from the Pensieve, gasping for breath, looking at Sherin with endless awe in his eyes.

After subduing a group of Death Eaters, Schelling was actually a little tired, and at this moment he had no intention of teasing or mocking Karkaroff.

He sealed the Dark Mark directly, and then implanted the Mark of the Sleeping Dragon in Karkaroff.

"Just go back and be your headmaster!" Xie Ling said in an unquestionable tone, "Voldemort won't bother you - he has enough things to worry about, it's not your turn. Besides, with the Mark of the Sleeping Dragon, you can inform me in time if anything happens -"

"Even if he really appears in front of you, you don't have to be too afraid of him," Xie Lin seemed to have thought of something. After pausing for a moment, he sneered, "If he really dares to come, I won't let him get away so easily next time!"

Karkaroff's eyes suddenly widened. He was a smart and quick-witted man, and he immediately understood the meaning of Schelling's words - Schelling seemed to have mastered the method to defeat Voldemort, and from his tone, he was very confident that he would succeed.

He couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that he had followed the right boss...
