Chapter 429: Phoenix Society Intelligence

Chapter 429: Phoenix Society Intelligence
August 8, early morning.

Today Xie Ling got up a little later than usual.

Schelling spent the whole day yesterday studying the newly acquired "Abataar" without sleep and food. It was not until late at night that he reluctantly put the book down and went to bed.

This volume of Abatyr mainly talks about curses - an extremely unpopular branch of magic, generally used to curse mortal enemies or control other wizards. The most famous example is Voldemort's Dark Mark. With it, Voldemort can summon the Death Eaters at any time, and track their location at any time, intimidating them so that they dare not betray.

Later, Schelling improved the Dark Mark and created his own "Mark of the Sleeping Dragon" based on the inspiration from the "Curse of the Gorgon" intercepted from Nagini's original body.

Xie Ling was very proud of his work - no matter where the person cursed by him was, Xie Ling could turn the cursed host into an irrational beast with just a thought. The deterrent power far exceeded that of the Dark Mark.

However, now that Schelling has read "Abatail", he realized how superficial he was before and how profound the art of spells is. It turns out that what he knew was just the basics.

For example, Xie Ling actually saw the long-lost "Magic Increasing Curse" in the book. The effect of this curse is similar to Xie Ling's "Fighting Will to the Sky", which can allow the host of the curse to forcibly stimulate the magic power in the body in a short period of time, and increase the magic power by a level. The duration of the effect depends on the physique of the host of the curse. The reference data given in the book ranges from five to fifteen minutes.

Unfortunately, this spell is ineffective for those above the level of Quasi-Mage, which means that Xie Lin and Sharfu are not eligible for this technique. However, the other members of the Sleeping Dragon Society meet the requirements. When Xie Lin returns to Great Britain, he can plant this spell on the other team leaders of the Sleeping Dragon Society, which is enough to raise the overall strength of the Sleeping Dragon Society to a higher level.

In addition, Xie Ling also saw several very practical seals in the book, such as "Blood of the Mad Beast", "Demon Servant Seal", etc., which will not be mentioned here for the time being.

It can be seen that the use of curse is not limited to harming or controlling others, it can also be used for assistance, improvement and so on.

This was something Schelling had never thought of before.

It can be said that this volume of "Abataar" opened the door to a new world for Schelling.

Since Sherin went to bed late, he had missed the breakfast time in the auditorium, but he found a nutritious breakfast already placed on the table in the guest room. It seemed that Karkaroff did not see him in the auditorium, so he specially asked the dwarf waiters to deliver it to his room.

He sat down at the table and was about to start eating when he caught a glimpse of a thick letter on the table. There was a black dragon head pattern on the envelope. Xie Ling recognized the letter at a glance.

The letter used a code designed by himself, indicating that it was a secret letter of "urgent notice" sent to him by the Sleeping Dragon Society. Usually, it would only appear for important events or intelligence. There was no doubt that Duobi must have taken the trouble to deliver it personally by Apparating many times in a row, and then put it on the table when he saw that he was still sleeping, so that he could open it and read it after he woke up.

Xie Ling didn't care about his rumbling stomach and the hearty breakfast. He quickly took out his wand and tapped the envelope lightly.

The black dragon head suddenly opened its mouth and swayed vividly, as if it was a sleeping dragon that was awakened. After the dragon's mouth circled along the edge of the envelope, the originally sealed envelope suddenly had a gap, and the black dragon head returned to its original position.

Xie Ling took out the letter and read it quickly.

The letter first mentioned that Harry was attacked by Dementors on Privet Drive in Little Whinging. Harry used the Patronus Charm to repel the Dementors, which triggered the Trace alarm and alerted the Ministry of Magic.

Schelling, who was familiar with the original novel, actually knew that the Dementor was originally sent by Fudge or Umbridge to attack Harry. Now that they had caught Harry, they would definitely make a big fuss about it. Harry was only secondary. Their real target was Dumbledore behind Harry. As long as Harry was successfully expelled, it would basically prove to the public that Harry was just a brat who didn't follow the rules and intended to destroy the order of wizard society, and Dumbledore, who insisted on trusting him, was an old fool.

Sure enough, the content of the letter later mentioned that Harry had been sued by the Ministry of Magic for violating the "Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards Act". The Ministry of Magic had originally decided to expel Harry from Hogwarts and even sent representatives to destroy his wand, but after Dumbledore's extremely quick and powerful intervention, the Ministry of Magic had no choice but to postpone the punishment of Harry and chose to let Harry keep his wand and student status until the trial scheduled to be held at the Ministry of Magic on August 8.

Tsk tsk, Schelling curled his lips. He could only say that he was worthy of being Dumbledore. Dumbledore's power in this world had been weakened a lot by Schelling's many plans. He didn't expect that he still had such influence on the Ministry of Magic.

This is fine, let him and the Ministry of Magic continue to tangle and consume each other. This is the end of the information about Harry.

The following is the information about Mundungus sent by Nightmare.

The plan to capture Mundungus went very smoothly. As expected, Mundungus left his post guarding Harry for the sake of a batch of cheap cauldrons and sneaked to Knockturn Alley alone, where he was easily captured by Bathory and Annis.

This person's spiritual cultivation and willpower were extremely weak, and Anis didn't have to spend much effort to use nightmare magic to dig out all the information in his mind -

Afterwards, they followed Xie Ling's instructions and erased all his memories. Then Night Cat arranged for a smuggling group to secretly send him to North America.

The information about Mundungus mentioned in the letter made Schelling frown deeply, and his expression became unusually solemn.

Not only did he leak the complete list of members of the Order of the Phoenix, but he also included their names, genders, appearances, specialties, and addresses. This made Schelling quite satisfied.

In addition to the characters whose names are mentioned in the original work, there are 6 members of the Order of the Phoenix that Schelling is unknown to.

Schelling had been prepared for this, and the actual number of members of the Order of the Phoenix was just as he expected, a little more than mentioned in the original book. One of the names on the list, Oakden Hobden, caught Schelling's attention. This guy had been the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts for a year. Because of his profound magical skills and cautious personality, he was one of the few people who escaped from this position unscathed.

But no matter what, now all the information about the Phoenix Society has fallen into Xie Ling's control. Moreover, just these words are not enough to make Xie Ling so surprised.

What really surprised Schelling was another piece of information about the Order of the Phoenix from Mundungusrie - in order to deal with the current chaotic situation, Dumbledore actually reconvened the first generation of the Order of the Phoenix, and in it were all famous wizards from the 1930s - Newt Scamander, Theseus Scamander, Tina Goldstein, Queenie Goldstein, Eulalie Hicks, etc. Schelling, who had watched the Fantastic Beasts movie in his previous life, knew that these people had participated in the war against Grindelwald, each of them had his own area of ​​magic, and were battle-hardened. Although they might be old, they were still opponents that should not be underestimated.

This is not the end. What makes Sherin even more concerned is that in Mundungus' memory, he seems to have seen the branch of the Potter family, which is very low-key in the British wizarding world, and Liu Tao, a famous battle wizard who is respected as one of the two great war gods in Asia.

This was completely beyond Schelling's expectations.

He never imagined that after his many plans, he had finally managed to severely weaken the Order of the Phoenix, but this time the Order became even stronger than what was shown in the original book.

Newt is a master in the field of magical creatures, Theseus and Tina are both elite wizards who once served as Auror Directors, Queenie is also a natural telepath, and Eulalie is a spell master who once served as Professor Ilvermorny...

None of these people are simple characters.

Not to mention the mysterious and low-key Potter family, and the famous Liu Tao. Xie Lin only knew about the existence of these two forces. He knew nothing about their strength and power.

Two brief messages were included at the end of the letter:

The first is the information from Furong. The search for the giant has yielded results. Hagrid and his team have camped in a cave near the giant's territory and will make contact with the giant early tomorrow morning.

The second one was a summons from the Ministry of Magic to Schelling, mainly to inform Schelling to fulfill his duties as a youth representative of the Wizengamot and attend a trial of Harry Potter for violating wizard law held at the Ministry of Magic on August 8.

It seems that my trip abroad is finally coming to an end, and it is time for me to return to Great Britain.
