Chapter 127 Do Not Disturb the Sleeping Dragon
Go back to the dormitory.
Daphne and Astoria were both in their rooms.
"Xie Lin, in the name of Greengrass, I have summoned some junior classmates who are friends with my family. They are all from Slytherin. The prototype of the Sleeping Dragon Society has been established." Daphne reported first.
Astoria interrupted: "I have no problem here, Hestia and Flora from the Carlo family have also agreed to join."
Xellin valued the twin sisters Hestia and Flora very much. They had the blood of the Carlo family, and the Carlo family was also one of the 28 pure-blood families. Moreover, the wands used by the two people come from the same source of magical animal materials. If they cast spells together, they can produce a bonus effect of one plus one, which is greater than two.
This bonus effect is very amazing. Historically, the Bute brothers, the founders of Ilvermorny in North America, once joined forces. When the two were only 16 years old, they used the same wand to create a magic wand that could rival the famous black witch. Gormlaith Gaunt's strength.
Thinking of this, Xelling couldn't help but playfully imagine the scene of Harry Potter and Voldemort joining forces to fight against the enemy.
"Well done!" Xie Lin asked, "How many people are there in the organization now?"
"According to your instructions, I have not contacted the senior students for the time being. Even our current class has not let them know, so the main force is the third-year and second-year students." Daphne said.
Xie Lin, a senior student, planned to hand it over to Narelle of the Wankanda family. However, Narelle's loyalty and ability were still being tested, and he did not want to attract the attention of the Ghost Society, so Xie Lin planned to hand it over to Narelle. Let’s put the matter of recruiting them aside for now.
The students of the same class did it because Schelling noticed Draco's abnormality. Before the matter became clear, Schelling didn't want his plan to be exposed to their sight. What's more, Blaise's mother was still his enemy. !
As for the first-year students, they have just entered school and are not familiar with the daily life of the school. They may also have insufficient awareness of confidentiality, so Xie Lin will not consider it for the time being.
"There are only three students in the fourth grade, you, me, and Murray, there are six students in the third grade, and there are 10 students in the second grade, including Astoria." There are 19 students in total, which is more than Schelling expected. Be good.
Xie Lin carefully read the list that Daphne gave him and was very satisfied with her ability to do things. He praised her and asked: "Is there anything else? When will we hold the first all-staff meeting?"
Daphne frowned, as if she was trying to organize her words, and then said: "Shailin, have you ever heard of the student organization 'Ghost Society'?"
Xie Lin nodded. It seemed that even Daphne knew about the Ghost Society.
Daphne said: "This organization is very mysterious. I don't know much about it. I accidentally heard about the existence of this organization when I was recruiting people. I heard that your brother was invited... As for him Whether I accept it or not, I don’t know.”
"As long as you two are well aware of the Ghost Society's affairs, I will mention it to Mo Rui. You don't need to worry about their affairs for the time being... They need to hide more than us, so they will definitely not treat us arbitrarily. How about... we just need to be careful."
Schelling doesn't want to have any conflict with the Ghost Society for the time being. It's okay to deal with Lestrange and Selwyn's group, but if it's against the Ghost Society whose strength is unknown, it would be unwise in the early stages of establishing the organization.
Moreover, according to Xie Lin's previous life, he was accustomed to seeing Shuangwen's routine, and beating the younger ones would most likely attract the older ones. Behind the Ghost Society is the Walpurgis Knights who can use two generations of Dark Lords as spearmen!
In the following time, Xie Lin devoted himself to studying the "Book of Ancient Dragons", beauty potions, dwarf cultivation, and advanced application of the Iron Armor Curse.
Time flies and October 1st comes soon.
The Sleeping Dragon Society held its first meeting in Newt's suitcase space. The new members were full of curiosity about this mysterious space, and they also had more admiration for Schelling's magic.
The first is a self-introduction ceremony to allow members to get familiar with each other. Then Daphne reads out the pre-designed charter and rules. The most important rule is that the existence of the organization cannot be disclosed to third parties. Violators will be severely punished. As a result, Mianlong Society will operate as a completely secret underground student organization.
Then Daphne read out the three major purposes of the Mianlong Organization:
First, to increase the cohesion of the organization, every senior member is obliged to give guidance to the junior members in the organization, and members of the same grade must help each other, communicate with each other, and maintain a good interactive relationship.
Second, the organization will hold regular duel training to cultivate members’ practical combat capabilities. This activity will be personally supervised by Xie Lin. At this point, many members couldn’t help but cheer;
Third, resource sharing. The organization must pool its efforts to build a shared library in the suitcase space so that every member can contribute and share knowledge - the current members are all from Slytherin, and almost all of them come from wizarding family backgrounds. Contributions can be made by copying family collections. When members with Muggle family background appear in the future, they can conduct research for the organization or complete the organization's tasks. At that time, there will be a fair charter to calculate their contribution value in exchange for equal resources in the library.
There is no need to worry about the initial resources of the shared library. The collections of Schelling himself and the Greengrass family - even if some private collections that are not suitable for public disclosure are subtracted, there are more than 500 books.
Schelling referred to the practice of Hermione in the original book to create Dumbledore's Army and issued a gold Galleon with a multi-change spell as a membership card to each member. Whenever members were summoned, whether it was a general meeting or practical training, the gold coin would change, indicating the time and place of the meeting.
After doing this, the Sleeping Dragon Society officially adjourned.
[The "protagonist force" Sleeping Dragon Society was established! ]
The next day, before dawn, Schelling had already gotten up and explored the castle dungeon - the target kitchen!
Schelling came out of the Slytherin lounge, walked through a wide stone corridor, and found pictures of various foods decorated on the surrounding walls.
"Good luck." Schelling quickly found a large portrait of a huge silver bowl filled with fruit.
Xie Ling gently touched the big green pear in the silver bowl, and the pear actually squirmed, giggled, and suddenly turned into a big green door handle. He reached out and grabbed the door and pulled it, and came to the legendary kitchen.
The kitchen was as big as the auditorium above. There were many tableware on the cabinets around. There were also four long wooden tables in the auditorium. The positions of these tables were exactly the same as the tables of the four colleges in the auditorium above.
Some food had been placed on the table, which should be the students' breakfast. When it was time for dinner, the house elves would use magic to teleport the food to the opposite table above.
"Sir, is there anything?" An elf found Xie Ling and trotted towards him.
"The restaurant hasn't opened yet, so I came to the kitchen to take a look." Xie Ling smiled politely at them.
"Please follow me, sir." The house elf grabbed Xie Ling's hand and pulled him to sit at the table. Six house elves hurried up, carrying a large silver tray with a pot of milk, ham, fried eggs, toast, salad, and pumpkin porridge on it.
"Thank you, little guy." Xielin poured himself half a cup of milk, and asked after a delicious meal, "This is my first time here. Can I walk around and explore here?"
"Of course, sir!" The house elf nodded hurriedly.
Xielin was most interested in the food refrigerator. After all, wizards don't use Muggle refrigerators, and as far as Xielin knew, there was no spell to cool objects in the magical world. The so-called "Freezing Spell" is actually a spell that freezes the target and stops moving.
(Note: This book translates Freezing Spell as the immobilization spell, but Renminshe translates it as the freezing spell)
Xielin walked around slowly.
There were hundreds of elves in the kitchen. They skillfully waved their long fingers, used magic to command kitchen knives, spatulas, soup spoons, and stew pots, and carried out various cooking procedures in an orderly manner.
Coming to the end of the kitchen, Xielin finally walked to the small room where the ingredients were stored. On the door of the room was engraved a rune - Xielin recognized the rune as "Isa", which means "ice" and "stillness".
The rune exuded extremely powerful magic fluctuations.
At this time, Xielin had already mastered the ancient rune spells, and he knew the difficulty of the ancient rune spells.
Xielin himself had a rich and profound knowledge of ancient magic. Even he spent so much time and energy to master the ancient rune spell of "guardian" - from the first contact with the silver spear test level to when he helped Astoria expel the curse, he could only cast a half-finished ancient rune magic.
It was not until the moment when Lockhart exploded that Xielin successfully made the magic concrete in a hurry, completing the entire ancient rune spell process. This achievement may seem amazing today, but in fact he only mastered a single ancient rune spell among the countless runes.
It is said that wizards in the Middle Ages all knew how to cast spells with the Ancient Runes, which made him full of admiration and yearning for the wizarding world of that era.
Whether it was the four founders of Hogwarts or the three Peverell brothers who invented the three artifacts of the God of Death, their use of the Ancient Runes Talisman was superb, and Schelling himself could not compare. Whether it was the invisibility cloak of the God of Death or the door of the kitchen freezer, it was undoubtedly amazing that it could still emit such powerful magic fluctuations after nearly a thousand years, and it was also the goal that Schelling would pursue in the future.
Schelling pushed the door open and walked in.
The moment Schelling stepped into the freezer room, the "Isa" Talisman emitted a dazzling white light, turning into a pure white light and shooting at Schelling!
Schelling knew the power of the Ancient Runes' spells, and he did not dare to use the Armor Spell to take on this attack.
He raised his right hand and quickly drew the rune "Eihwaz" with his index finger. A small palace shadow suddenly covered Xielin, and the two ancient runes collided with each other, making a sizzling sound and canceling each other out.
This was a big noise. All the house elves ran over to see what happened.
Suddenly, the elves pushed to the left and right, revealing a walkway. A house elf who looked very old, leaning on a cane, walked towards Xielin step by step, and said in an old voice: "The person in the prophecy, you finally appeared..."
This old elf introduced himself as Guber, the most senior elder among the more than 100 house-elves in the Hogwarts kitchen. He had lived in Hogwarts like other house-elves since he was born. Until the day he was elected as an elder, he inherited a prophecy from the previous elder.
In the prophecy, a Hogwarts student would come to the kitchen, trigger the magic on the freezer, and successfully resist it on the spot.
Over the years, there have been countless students who broke into the kitchen, but the person who triggered this magic has never appeared.
In fact, all the students came to get food, and no one showed any interest in anything else in the kitchen.
Guber raised his cane and released a magic unique to elves to an inconspicuous corner in the freezer. Suddenly, a simple-style stew pot with a faint silver glow appeared in the corner.
"The man in the prophecy, you are the heir chosen by Hufflepuff. Take this stew pot. This is Hufflepuff's most precious collection. When you use it to cook food, it can make the food more delicious..."
What? What is the use of this stew pot? As the young master of the Malfoy family, when does Sherin need to cook in person? Not to mention that he now has three house elves under his command.
As if sensing the disappointment on Sherin's face, Goober smiled and said, "Don't underestimate this stew pot. Hufflepuff was one of the most powerful wizards at the time. How could the treasure she left behind be so simple?"
What? Old man, don't speak halfway!
Goober gently touched a pattern on the front of the stew pot with his finger, and the stew pot suddenly changed and turned into a crucible!
"As long as you inject a little magic power here, it can become a crucible. If you use it to make potions, it can increase the success rate of refining and shorten the refining time of potions..." Goober said.
Xie Lin was surprised when he heard this. Advanced and complex potions such as Polyjuice Potion, Veritaserum, Felix Felicis, etc., even if made by a potion master himself, have a high risk of failure, not to mention the long weeks or even months of refining time. If the success rate can be improved and the refining time can be shortened, then the value of this crucible is simply immeasurable!
[Hufflepuff's Crucible Obtained! ]
I originally wanted to write about the protagonist's impassioned speech when establishing the club, but then I thought about it and realized that it was actually not necessary. The protagonist's reputation in Slytherin was already high enough. Perhaps this speech can be saved for the expansion of other colleges in the future.
