Chapter 442 Dark Night Maid

Chapter 442 Dark Night Maid
All of this is still in the planning stage, and Xie Ling does not intend to interfere too much.

After Schelling arranged everything, he left with a Disapparation, like a hands-off boss, and with him also left Sharfu, Savannah, and Latifa. Although there were few people on the street at night, it was not suitable for him to stay in Knockturn Alley for too long, and it was best not to let anyone implicate him in any connection with this war.

When he returns, he will arrange for Dobby to deliver the necessary money and supplies, and the rest of the matter will be left to Night Cat who stays here. With Night Cat's ability and the assistance of old Borgin, even without Sherin, the reconstruction of Knockturn Alley and the reorganization of various forces should not be too much of a hindrance.

Moreover, with his current reputation and the thunderous means he had shown before, he believed that it was enough to intimidate all his alien allies, including the newly joined goblin subversion group "Green Devils" and the newly subjugated werewolves. As long as they did not have any improper thoughts, but loyally assisted Night Cat, and did their best to implement every short-term and long-term plan that Sherin gave them, and moved unswervingly towards the ultimate ideal blueprint, then Sherin basically no longer needed to worry about Knockturn Alley.

……

Late at night, Xie Ling took a shower, changed into comfortable casual clothes, and lay down in the rocking chair in the hall to take a rest. He held the armrest of the recliner with his left hand and rested his chin with his right hand, lost in thought.

Latifa had fallen asleep. Savannah and Sharf said goodbye and went to sleep, but in fact, Sherin knew that these two crazy women were still excited about the previous battle. How could they sleep? It was more likely that they were tinkering with their new gadgets in the suitcase space.

Sharfu took a fancy to the bodies of the werewolves who died in the battle today, and also wanted to turn them into Inferi. Although Xie Lin felt that haste makes waste and she should focus on the giant Inferi first, he wisely did not say anything and let her do what she wanted.

Savannah was interested in the magic of Black Magic Blood Transformation and wanted to use it to transform her corpse. She had consulted Xie Lin for this, but Xie Lin did not understand this magic either. After all, it had been lost for nearly a thousand years and it was a forbidden black magic. Even though Xie Lin had thousands of books, he still did not have many clues about this technique.

He could only provide Savanna with ideas and thoughts on blood transformation based on the knowledge he had learned from different blood research notes in the past, and gave her all his blood research notes to study blindly. Xie Ling had no idea what he would eventually come up with.

As for Nymphadora, who used to come every night, she would not come tonight. She was carrying out Sherin's mission, using some tedious affairs within the Order of the Phoenix to keep Lupin in Grimmauld Place, preventing the latter from having the opportunity to participate in the previous war.

Xie Ling, who was used to being surrounded by beauties, was suddenly greeted with a rare tranquility.

He took advantage of this quiet moment without being disturbed to calmly review everything that happened in the past few days, carefully considering every detail to ensure that there were no mistakes in the execution of his plan. At the same time, he also had to think carefully about the future development path of the Mianlong Society, and carefully deduce every detail of every step.

Now that Knockturn Alley was under his control, and he had deployed the Longbottoms at St. Mungo's, that meant that in his intelligence network in Great Britain, the only two wizarding business districts that had not yet reached his satisfactory standards were Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade.

At this moment, his thoughts were interrupted by the unexpected sound of footsteps.

"Come in!" Xie Ling said in a deep voice. He was not worried that the visitor was an enemy. This house was protected by the Loyalty Spell. The fact that the visitor could find this place meant that the visitor must be someone Xie Ling trusted.

Night Cat appeared silently in front of the door, her figure still hidden under the black cloak. The hood covered her face, but the deep night could not hide the emotions surging in her eyes.

Xie Lin had already noticed her arrival and was leaning lazily in his seat, with a faint smile on his lips and a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"You came to see me so late at night?" He asked softly, with a tone that seemed to carry some understanding. "Why? Do you want a reward?"

Night Cat stared at him with eyes as bright as gemstones, silent. She breathed lightly, but could not hide the ripples in her heart. The battle in Knockturn Alley was over, and she had taken control of that dark corner, so why did she still come here involuntarily?

Ye Mao's throat tightened slightly. He suppressed the strangeness in his heart and asked in a low voice: "You already knew I would come?"

Xie Lin ignored her and reached out to the wine cabinet. A silver wine glass filled with red wine suddenly appeared in his hand. He shook the glass gently, and a meaningful light flashed in his eyes: "Of course. Because your heart no longer belongs to you."

Nightmare's body stiffened slightly. His words were like a sharp knife, piercing her already broken heart. She instinctively wanted to refute, but she could not deny that from the day she was "conquered" by Xie Lin, her will was no longer her own. The feeling of being unable to disobey and willing to surrender made her afraid, but also made her... extremely eager. Xie Lin smiled, with an indescribable carefree look in his eyes, and said: "You should have known that your father Trowen Selwyn is still alive, and he has surrendered to me, and is now going to France to work for me. In view of the great contribution you have made to me today, I can restore your original identity, let you regain your freedom, return to your family to reunite, and live your life as a rich lady again. What do you think, Irina Selwyn?"

Irina Selwyn was Nightcat's original name. She used to be the eldest daughter of the Selwyn family, the apple of their eye, and a noble lady. But later, she was captured by Shelin because she participated in the battle at the bottom of the lake and attacked Shelin. She was imprisoned in the Panlong Dungeon with others. Eventually, she lost her mind and personality under Shelin's various terrorist methods. From then on, she voluntarily served Shelin as her master and became Shelin's maid. She was given the name "Nightcat".

Hearing this long-lost name, a painful memory suddenly came to her mind. Nightmare trembled visibly. She gritted her teeth, slowly knelt down, crawled to Xie Lin, and kissed the hem of the wizard's robe.

Xie Lin raised his eyebrows and smiled with interest: "Oh? You want to stay?"

Night Cat took a deep breath, remained on her knees, and looked up at Xie Lin. Her voice was a little hoarse, but firm: "Master... please don't let me go. Whatever you want me to do, I am willing to obey. I am willing to take charge of Knockturn Alley for you, and I am willing to clear obstacles for you... Even if you let me die, I will not have any complaints."

By the end of her speech, her voice was tinged with fanaticism. It was not just ordinary loyalty, but a kind of complete submission, a belief that could not be broken free of.

Xie Lin did not respond immediately, but stood up and looked down at her. Night Cat's back shivered slightly, but she was not shivering because of fear, but because of awe.

Finally, Xie Lin reached out his hand, gently lifted her chin, and let her look directly into his eyes. Those eyes were as deep as a bottomless abyss, as if they could swallow her whole.

Night Cat stared at him with bated breath, her mind gradually went blank, Xie Ling's handsome appearance was deeply engraved in her mind, she trembled slightly, her fists slowly clenched, and then slowly loosened, as if several centuries had passed, and as if it was just a short moment, the struggle in her eyes had disappeared, and only indescribable enthusiasm remained in her eyes. It was a belief that went beyond loyalty, as if the existence in front of her had become the meaning of her life and the only belief of her spirit.

"Master, from today on, I will completely forget the name Irina Selwyn, and concentrate on being your servant Night Cat, with serving you as the only meaning of my life..." She said with a pleading look in her eyes: "Master, please agree to my request and let me follow you forever."

Xie Lin looked at her quietly, the smile on his lips deepened a little, but his eyes were still as calm as a lake, as if he was examining something.

Night Cat bowed his head deeply, his voice pious and resolute: "I will run the casino of 'Rose Court' in an orderly manner, and the Black Rose Society will definitely become the most powerful ruler of Knockturn Alley, a force you can command... But what I desire is not these powers, but to gain the master's favor, to accompany the master, or even just to let the master look at me more..."

"Oh?" Xie Ling said, "It's that simple? Is this the reward you want?"

"Yes," she said firmly, looking straight into Schelling's eyes, "this is all I want."

The candlelight in the room flickered gently, reflecting Xie Ling's strange expression. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was weighing something. After a moment, he sighed and said, "Since you are so sincere... then let it be as you wish."

Nightmao's heart seemed to skip a beat, and a hint of ecstasy flashed in her eyes, but she quickly lowered her head and prostrated herself on the ground, her voice trembling but firm: "Thank you, Master, for your gift..."

Xie Ling slowly extended his hand to Ye Mao. A flash of ecstasy flashed across Ye Mao's face. She carefully leaned over and kissed the back of his hand. From Xie Ling's perspective, he could see a contented expression on her face with her eyes closed.

"As far as I know, because you were still a minor before you disappeared from home, your father had not yet taught you all the secret magic of the Selwyn family, so the family magic you learned was incomplete," Xie Lin said slowly. "As a reward, from now on, you can come here at this time every night, and I will personally teach you magic, especially the secret magic of the Selwyn family that I just mastered not long ago. It will definitely make you stronger, so that you can serve me better."

Yemao's heart suddenly trembled, and the ecstasy in her eyes became more and more intense. Without any hesitation, she leaned over again and kowtowed deeply, her voice trembling and pious: "Thank you for your gift, Master! I will definitely prove myself to be your most loyal and trustworthy subordinate!"
