Chapter 146 Walpurgis

Dumbledore did not answer. He looked directly into Sherling's eyes and said, "Shelling, have you heard of the 'Walpurgis Knights'?"

Xie Lin was stunned for a moment, then nodded clearly. How smart he was, he had already guessed what Dumbledore meant in a moment.

"Professor, you mean..." Schelling said: "The Hohenheim family is related to the Walpurgis Knights?"

"As expected, you know the Knights of Walpurgis," Dumbledore's eyes sparkled. "I have been observing this organization for a long time. At first, I thought it was a follower of Voldemort because it is related to the pure-blood families of Great Britain. There are many unknown connections between them, but my intelligence network tells me——"

"The Knights of Walpurgis existed long before Voldemort was born, and they also left clues in the Global Wizarding War (led by Grindelwald) at the beginning of this century..."

"I pursued it relentlessly and found that it had its presence behind many major international events in the last century and even earlier...including the Goblin Rebellion in the 18th century, the Italian Civil War in the 17th century, and the Italian Civil War in the 15th century. The blood-sucking royal family's genocide war... It is like a poisonous snake hiding behind the scenes, with its fangs exposed, and can find the right opportunity to attack at any time. "

"Although I don't have strong and sufficient evidence, I have many reasons to believe it," Dumbledore said solemnly: "The pure-blood families in Great Britain are actually just the tip of the iceberg. In Europe, North America, and even Africa, Many ancient pure-blood families are likely to be members of it, and among them..." Dumbledore paused for a while before saying solemnly: "The Hohenheim family and the Monroe family are included among them..."

I see!

The pursuit of power and the Six Wonderful Books that the two of them just talked about were just appetizers.

The content of the conversation now is the reason why the old man with the white beard called him here today.

Schelling snorted coldly, "Professor, you know the 'Ghost Society' in Hogwarts, right? They are an underground student organization derived from the will of the Walpurgis Knights. Speaking of which, they are a bit like me. It’s a little holiday!”

Dumbledore's eyes suddenly became unclear. The name "Ghost Society" reminded him of Voldemort...

This organization was originally called the Walpurgis Knights at Hogwarts. It was Voldemort's organization that trained quasi-Death Eaters. However, it was later renamed the Ghost after being suppressed by Armando Dippet and his two principals. society. Over the years, he has disappeared, but he did not expect that he had taken action once without being aware of it.

He sighed.

It seems that he is indeed old.

He suddenly felt a little tired. Harry's growth was far less than expected - should he still insist on placing all his hopes on the prophecy?

"I haven't even gone to trouble them. I didn't expect them..." Xie Lin's voice suddenly turned cold, "Since they dare to come to us, I can also take advantage of this competition to let them know that our Malfoy family is not easy to mess with. …”

In Xie Lin's heart, he was 99% sure that these two beautiful female warriors were here for him. After all, the opponents mentioned in the original book are obviously Krum and Fleur!

And he himself is the biggest variable in this world. Unless there are other unknown time travelers in this world, the only one who can make the plot of the original work collapse is himself.

The question is, what is the purpose of the Walpurgis Knights coming for me?

The Ghost Club had done something to him, but he didn't fight back. It was Gemma who attacked him in the first place, but she was obviously merciful, and she deliberately revealed a lot of information before taking action. Although the two were no longer friends, Xie Lin didn't really want to seek revenge from her.

As for the Walpurgis Knights, who are spread all over Europe outside of Hogwarts, I have never touched them.

It was possible for these two families, who had been dormant for centuries and were used to keeping a low profile and being mysterious, to choose this moment to reappear in public. What had I done to attract so much hatred?

He thought of a possibility.

unless……

For Schelling at this moment, figuring out the other party's motives is a top priority. And he already had an immature guess in his mind.

"Shellin, don't be careless," Dumbledore said. "How many pure-blood families are involved behind Walpurgis and how powerful they are has always been a mystery. The Global Wizarding War that year involved at least Pure-blood families from Great Britain, France, Germany, and Austria..."

"If it weren't for the money and talents of these families with strong foundations, this war would not have become a protracted situation and spread to all of Europe and even North America..."

"Just after the Saints' power failed, I thought that the Walpurgis would be seriously injured, but I didn't expect that just a few decades later, they would reappear in the war launched by Voldemort..."

"The foundation of this force is probably much stronger than we imagined," Dumbledore's eyes flashed brightly, "Even if one day, its historical foundation can be traced back to the era before the establishment of Hogwarts, I will not feel that Accident."

"But what's more important right now is for you to understand the current situation first." Dumbledore said, "Now that you know the details of the other two warriors, I feel relieved. Don't be careless. Don’t be brave. If you encounter danger during the game, you must get out of the way in time to protect yourself..."

"Don't worry, Professor," Xie Lin said with a smile: "You can leave these words to Potter! I feel that he needs to understand this more than me."

Dumbledore did not take up the topic of Potter, his expression was still so dark that it was impossible to see what he was thinking.

He blinked, "Back to the topic just now," Dumbledore said, "Most of the other six wonder books are missing..."

"The Book of Druid was also lost when the Druid civilization disappeared," Dumbledore said. "The Book of the Dead mainly talks about the magic of the undead. I suspect that this book is in Transylvania." The Necromancer Guild in Asia is a mysterious organization that lives underground and only recruits wizards who practice necromancy magic. Many of its members are vampires and living zombies. "

"Abatail is divided into eight volumes. Except for the volume in my hand, I don't know where the other volumes have gone, but I heard that the hidden family Witte family who has been hiding from the world for centuries seems to hold two volumes. Batel, they seem to be following some kind of ancestral precepts and trying to complete the collection of eight volumes."

"The Book of the Phoenix is ​​in my hand. It is the core inheritance of my Dumbledore family. It is because of it that I was able to gain Fawkes' allegiance."

Fawkes is the name of the phoenix raised by Dumbledore. Dumbledore is the only wizard known in the wizarding world to have a phoenix as a pet. It is precisely for this reason.

"The last book - Dark Apocalypse, I have never found its whereabouts, but I have a big suspicion in my heart... I suspect that it is with Voldemort. The strange and unpredictable skills that Voldemort learned may have come from This book... As for where he got this book, I really have no idea..."

interesting.

Are there new forces and new families on the scene?

The Dumbledore family...the Witte family...the Necromancer Guild...

Perhaps it was because he was used to it, but this time, it was hard for Xie Lin to have any trouble in his heart.

Xie Lin, who is well-informed, certainly knows that the long-standing wizard family is not limited to the Holy 28 pure-blood family.

He has always known that there must be some low-key and mysterious families in the wizarding world that are not well known to the world. Although these families are not well-known, their heritage is not bad at all.

For example, the Dumbledore family actually has the heritage of taming phoenixes, which is already very enviable.

Xie Lin, who is familiar with the plot, even knows that Dumbledore may have something to hide - the inheritance of the Book of Phoenix is ​​much more than that. In the second part of the Fantastic Beasts movie, Dumbledore clearly said that his family's blood inheritance is He is born with the ability to form a close bond with all magical birds, including the powerful Phoenix, Thunderbird, and Color-Winged Bird, as well as the weak but uniquely capable Ball Escape Bird, Golden Flying Man, Silent Bird, Oracle Bird, and Evil Woman. Birds and more.

For example, the Potter family, inherited from Linfred in the twelfth century, apparently invented the bone spirit (the one that regenerates bones), the refreshing potion (the one that cures flu that makes smoke), the speed The family of potions that smooth hair (the one Hermione used at the ball). Although those patents allowed their family to accumulate a lot of wealth, these patents were either sold or had expired long ago, making outsiders think that the family could only sit back and have nothing.

But actually? Linfred's eldest son, Hadwin Potter, quietly married the granddaughter of the third of the three Peverell brothers, and has since inherited the invisibility cloak of Death.

Therefore, it is not surprising at all that there are some hidden families in the wizarding world.

"Okay," Dumbledore handed the book to Sherling, "take it, kid! You need it, and I need you to trust your headmaster -"

Dumbledore winked mischievously and said, "Let this book be the beginning of building trust between us!"

Schelling accepted this book. "Abatail" was of great help to him. The first three volumes in his hands alone were enough to increase his strength to where it is today, not to mention that he is now in What I am studying is the art of transformation, so "Abatail's Transformation" can be said to be very timely.

["Abatail Volume 4" obtained! 】

"I came to you today, and there are only so many things I want to tell you," Dumbledore concluded: "Is there anything you want to ask me?"

Xie Lin thought seriously for a while and then said: "Professor, I would like to ask you, is there a way to break the Loyalty Curse?"

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, and then said after a moment: "Yes, unless the secret keeper leaks the secret, it will never be cracked. Why do you suddenly ask about this?"

Xie Lin replied seriously: "I found out the truth about Meredith's abduction. The Shadow of the Dragon is actually an organization retained by the black witch Morgan Le Fay in the tenth century - I already know that Le Fay practiced A magical creature, Animagus, so her soul cannot be extinguished, and Meredith is technically her descendant and can be used as a vessel for her resurrection."

Dumbledore frowned tightly and said, "Is it the magic of resurrecting the body? This..."

"This sounds quite tricky!" Dumbledore said seriously. "There are many dark magics that can possess people, but most of them can only be attached to the container temporarily, because it is extremely easy for the container and the soul to not match. Produce repulsion... As far as I know, there is only one way to truly fuse the host's soul - "

"Bloodline fusion."

Xie Lin asked anxiously: "So, Professor, what will happen after being fused? Will Meredith's soul still exist?"

"I'm sorry, Sherlin," Dumbledore's eyes showed a trace of unbearability, and he said softly: "The soul of the strong will devour the soul of the weak. If your intelligence is accurate, if the other party is really from a thousand years ago, The words of the Black Witch - there is no doubt that Meredith's soul will be devoured..."

Although he was mentally prepared, Dumbledore's answer still hit Sherrin's mind like a bomb. His heart immediately felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

Dumbledore looked at Xie Lin's extremely ugly expression, and couldn't help showing extremely complicated eyes. He could see it, and he was confident that he had seen it correctly. Although Xie Lin's face was expressionless, there was a flash of grief in his eyes. Not fake.

This child is not Voldemort.

No matter how amazing this kid acts, he is still just a kid.

At the same time, he also had other doubts, how did Xie Lin take that step... Could it be... that he had guessed completely wrong...

He didn't cut off the bonds in his soul at all?

Another, more ridiculous thought arises uncontrollably. Has this child embarked on another magical path? is it possible?

"The good news is," Dumbledore comforted Sherlin in a warm voice: "Bloodline fusion magic is a very time-consuming magic that requires two processes: body transformation and soul fusion..."

"Body transformation means to let the body adapt to the new soul. At this stage, the body will continue to change, and the appearance will be closer and closer to the appearance of the resurrected person, but it will not be exactly the same, but will become something in between the resurrected soul. The stage of soul fusion requires the resurrector to devour the host’s soul and borrow the power from the soul to take over the host’s body.”

Xie Lin spoke with difficulty: "Professor, you can just tell me, how much time do I have?"

Dumbledore shook his head, "I'm afraid I'm not sure about this. It also depends on how long Meredith's will can resist her -" As if he couldn't bear to see Sherrin again, he looked up at the small figure on the ceiling. Deng, "But I think you still have several months left!"

Xie Lin didn't know how he said goodbye to Dumbledore and how he walked back to the dormitory.

He, who had always been wise and calm, seemed to have lost his soul and was completely confused.

He didn't change his clothes. He lay on the bed with his eyes empty, staring at the ceiling blankly.

He didn't dare to close his eyes, he was afraid that if he closed his eyes, he would see Meredith's heartbroken face.

Suddenly, his magic power seemed to come alive, flooding into his brain, causing his brain to suddenly become cold and his whole body to wake up.

Xie Lin had to marvel at the magic of this magic power. This magic power could actually protect and remind the host on its own. A similar situation had happened when Merlin tried to amplify his greed and tempted him to obtain the magic weapon.

He clenched his fists and said to himself: "Meredith still has time, I can't give up!"

He gathered his thoughts.

Meredith's location is most likely in Shafik's old house, and there is no solution to that place unless the Secret Keeper leaks the secret - this has been confirmed by both Dumbledore and Voldemort.

If you can't go in, you have to lead people out.

There are currently three known members of the Shadow of the Dragon: Moody, Madame Shabini, and Madame Selwyn.

Moody cannot be touched, because Moody may be involved in Voldemort's plan, which will complicate things.

"Then," Schelling's eyes sparkled, "that's Madame Chabiny and Madame Selwyn..."

He suddenly had a plan in his mind.

But before that, he needs to make sure he's strong enough to deal with an unknown enemy.

After all, the strength needs to be enhanced!
