Chapter 151: Guardian of the Gods

At 11:30 pm, Shaylin cast an invisible illusion spell on himself and left the Slytherin common room quietly.

Shaylin's destination was Hagrid's hut.

If the original plot was not broken, today would be the day when Charlie Weasley and his team would transport the dragons from the Romanian dragon farm to Hogwarts. As the gamekeeper, Hagrid would be responsible for dividing an area as a temporary place for the dragons, so he had to be responsible for welcoming the Romanian visitors.

The field was pitch black. Shaylin walked along the lawn towards the light coming from Hagrid's hut. The huge carriage in Beauxbatons was also brightly lit. When approaching Hagrid's hut, he could hear Ms. Maxime talking in the carriage.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, Hagrid walked out of the door, stepped briskly, hummed an off-tune tune, and walked towards the Beauxbatons carriage.

Hagrid knocked three times on the door with two crossed golden wands printed on it.

Ms. Maxime opened the door. A silk shawl was wrapped around her extremely broad shoulders. She smiled slightly when she saw Hagrid.

The two exchanged a few meaningless greetings, then walked side by side to the edge of the temporary enclosure. As they walked, they had walked a long way around the edge of the forbidden forest, and the castle and the lake were no longer visible.

Suddenly, several men shouted loudly in front of them.

Four huge dragons came into view.

Yes, it was a dragon, the plot remained unchanged.

And the dragons were sent from the Romanian dragon farm. As the second largest shareholder of the dragon farm, Sherin knew most of the employees there. This meant that the possibility of these dragons being replaced or even tampered with was extremely low, because if the dragon farm had any abnormalities in the past few months, there was no reason for him, the major shareholder, not to know.

By the way, the leader of the dragon farm was an acquaintance of Sherin, a Malfoy family descendant who was introduced by Sherin and was placed there, and Charlie Weasley served as the deputy leader.

Although the Weasleys were not in harmony with him and their positions were not the same, Schelling still recognized Charlie's ability to raise dragons. Schelling was tolerant of others. Of course, he could keep his job and position, but if he wanted to be promoted to a key position, that was impossible.

Schelling saw Karkaroff, who was also following the two of them, but he didn't care.

These people knew the question, so what?

The magic confidentiality contract set by Dumbledore himself could never be cracked with their strength.

Didn't you see that even Hagrid didn't dare to invite Harry to watch this scene? Schelling dared to bet that Hagrid had this idea, but once he revealed this idea, he would be bound by the power of the contract and couldn't move.

Schelling was very happy about this situation. He didn't make this proposal for the sake of winning the game. This was actually his first move against Barty Crouch Jr. It depended on how he cracked it and helped Harry win the first level. At the same time, he was also looking forward to what kind of performance they would have when all the warriors didn't know what they would face.

The next day, November 22, morning.

Knowing the question, Sherin was confident. He hid in the Slytherin's secret room, practicing his Transfiguration, and reviewing the strategy to defeat the dragon.

He had more than five ways to deal with the dragon, but he couldn't just be satisfied with winning the game.

He must show his potential and win cleanly.

He wanted to win this level in the coolest and most dazzling way!

Then, the Eye Sickness Curse was ruled out first - Eleanor and Katarin were both direct descendants of family learning, how could they not understand the principle that the Eye Sickness Curse could break the dragon.

Use Transfiguration to create a puppy to lure the dragon away? - This won't work, what if the dragon roasts the puppy with a dragon breath?

Use hypnosis magic to put the dragon to sleep? ——Don't be silly, the fire dragon has extremely high magic resistance, and I don't have the bonus of Veela blood...

Use sonic boom spell and flash spell to shock the fire dragon, and then quickly grab the golden egg? ——This is an idea, but it doesn't seem dazzling enough.

Fire spell, continuous explosion spell, soul attack? ——This may even kill the dragon.

Huh? Can killing a dragon be considered a victory?

Xellin fell into distress. He finally realized that even killing a dragon is not as difficult as being handsome!

He looked at the books he had placed on the table. These were the books he thought might help him in the first project: "The Secret of Human Transfiguration", "Abatail Volume 4", "Forbidden Transfiguration", "The Secret of Space", and that...

Scanning the book in the corner of the table, a bold idea came to his mind. This plan might work, but the premise is that he must be able to ensure that the fire dragon cannot attack him.

He gave up the idea of ​​relying on Transfiguration and practiced the protective magic he had studied for some time.

He already knew the three spells of Armor, Total Protection, and Invulnerability. The stronger the effect, the more restrictions there are.

Similarly, he also knew how to use the ancient runes to release Eihwaz.

Eihwaz was the most powerful protective magic he had mastered, but it lasted too short. It was fine to deal with a wave of attacks from Peter Pettigrew, but it would definitely not work if he had to deal with the continuous attacks of the fire dragon.

However, this did not stop him from finding a new way.

First of all, he must find the optimal point among the three variants of the Iron Armor Curse, that is to say - the effect must be stronger than the Iron Armor Curse, but the spell cannot be too complicated. At the very least, the duration of the spell cannot exceed Wanxie Bu. invade.

In his opinion, the speed of casting spells is the key. If the magic cannot be fully released, no matter how powerful the magic is, it will be empty talk.

Here he has an advantage.

He can cast spells with both hands.

As long as he casts this new protective magic, and at the same time uses Guruni to cover Eihwaz, the two layers of protective covers will be superimposed, and everything will be safe.

The reason why the Guruni Talisman lasts so short is because the magic power of the outlined symbol cannot be carried in mid-air - if it can be attached to other magic spells and use other magic spells as a carrier, it will extend its effectiveness, which is not that easy. disappear.

Just do what comes to mind. Anyway, I have a time hourglass and enough time to tinker with this magic.

He began to unravel the incantation against all evil. Even Professor Flitwick recited the incantation for nearly five minutes, which shows how long the complete incantation is.

The first change Schelling made was to eliminate the most unimportant spell syllables one by one. These pronunciations did not contribute to the process of converting magic power into magic. They were purely for the convenience of the spell caster and improved the fluency of the spell. , it is already redundant for a spell caster of Schelling’s level.

The second point of improvement was to sacrifice part of the protection range. He picked out those spell syllables that specifically expanded the protection range and eliminated most of them. As long as the protection range was enough to cover him alone, he would be able to cover him 360 degrees without blind spots. OK.

Finally, he used the Iron Armor Curse and the Impregnable Poison Curse as a reference, specially selected the syllables of the spell to increase the strength of the protection, and added these pronunciations one by one into the spell.

In this way, Schelling tinkered with concentration for several hours.

Finally, he picked up a piece of parchment with messy graffiti, a look of satisfaction on his face, "It's done!"

"Let's call this newly created magic combination 'Guardian of the Gods'!"

By chance, Xie Lin had just put down the parchment, and there was a crackle, and Winky and Dobby appeared at the same time.

Dobby bowed his head respectfully and said: "Master, according to your instructions, we have been monitoring Moody and Hogwarts with a spyglass, and we have not seen any suspicious people. However, there is a signal coming from the Alchemy Workshop. Information, a group of strange faces have appeared in Hogsmeade Village recently, about five people.”

Xie Lin's eyes sparkled, are you coming? These monsters and monsters!

He said solemnly: "Well done! Do you know where they settled?"

"It's an old vacant house on the edge of the village. Dobby has contacted Director Bones on behalf of the owner and obtained the Hogsmeade village records from the Magical Land Deeds Registration Branch. Master, please take a look." After saying this, he said respectfully He handed over a parchment scroll sealed by a secret spell.

Xie Lin nodded, approving of Dobby's intelligence and cleverness. He knew how to get things done without having to ask for his own instructions. He was becoming more and more effective at doing things.

Xie Lin pulled out his wand and touched the scroll lightly with the tip of the wand. He saw the name on it and showed an evil smile. Just as he finished reading it, the parchment scroll suddenly spontaneously ignited and soon turned into nothingness, not even ashes. Leave.

"Dobby, please contact Bathory. She can transform into bats and shadows and is suitable for sneaking. Ask her to help me find out the identities of these people."

"Yes!" Dobby took the order and left.

"Twinkle, how is Harry Potter's place?" Xie Lin asked in a deep voice.

"Master, because of all kinds of rumors attacking him these days, Potter seems to have given up on himself. He has hardly done any practice for the competition, and even his daily studies have been abandoned. His Charms class was originally due to the summoning curse. He failed and was detained by Flitwick. Fortunately, Moody took him away and said he wanted to give him private tutoring to help him master the summoning spell. "

Ah, I see. Even if he couldn't tell the Warriors about the competition, Barty Jr. could still prepare all the magic spells and tools that could be used for Harry in advance?

It seems that you really can't underestimate these people, they are smarter than you think!

"Very good, you haven't been discovered by Moody, have you? His prosthetic eye is quite troublesome."

Twinkle said respectfully: "No problem, the master's invisible phantom spell is indeed powerful, and it is also effective on us elves. Even if I stand in front of Moody, he will not notice it at all."

Xie Lin nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Where are those families in France? How are your contacts?"

"We have already contacted the Delacour family. Mr. Delacour has agreed to your proposal and conditions. He will lead several families who are related to him to form an alliance with the master. The details are all written in this confidential letter. ." After saying that, Shining respectfully took out a crimson envelope, which exuded extremely obvious magic fluctuations.

Schelling recited the French version of the incantation: "All curses end!"

After a while, the magic wave on the envelope slowly dissipated. According to the pre-arranged code, if the letter accidentally falls into the hands of others, if that person reads out the curse in English or Latin, the letter will explode, giving that person a big surprise.

Xie Lin read the contents of the letter, and after reading it, he put the letter into his locked folder, in the French category.

This letter is mainly a magically binding alliance agreement, which lists in detail every family that has a close relationship with Mr. Delacour. They will all form an alliance with Schelling in accordance with the agreement.

Although the Delacour family is a mixed-blood family, Mr. Delacour's mother-in-law is a pure-blooded Veela, so through his wife Apolline Delacour, the Delacour family has a very close connection with the Veela tribe in France.

Veela is a kind of alien with natural charm. They usually show themselves as beautiful women, but when they are angry, they look like harpies. Although they are rare in number and have no other powerful magic except charm, they have had marriages with many wizards and have given birth to many mixed-blood offspring.

With the Veela tribe as the center, a huge and complex network of interpersonal relationships can be derived. The Delacour family has also taken advantage of this and has a great network of connections in the French wizarding world.

Of course, he claimed that those were all his cousins.

The Evreux family, the Bonacourt family, the Amorinu family...

These families are all mixed-blood families, but each has expertise and achievements in various fields in France. Through marriage with the Veela, they secretly formed a network of contacts that is no less than that of the pure-blood families - the Evreux family is a herbal family, Mr. Evreux holds a senior management position in the magic garden in the Pyrenees (the owner of the magic garden is the Ministry of Magic of various European countries); Mr. Bonacourt is the French representative of the International Confederation of Wizards; Amorinu is the editor-in-chief of the Stone Winged Magic Newspaper...

The letter also stated that his daughter Fleur Delacour has learned about the alliance between the two families, and she will unconditionally cooperate with all of Schelling's actions during her stay at Hogwarts.

Very good! This time, even the matter of planting spies in the Beauxbatons carriage has been solved.

(1) Instant Curse and End of All Curses are the same spell Finite Incantatem. The former is the official translation of People's Publishing House, and the latter is the translation of the movie subtitles. Don't be misled by other fan fiction.

(2) The spell can be read in French. The French version of "Quidditch Fantastic" mentions that Archibald Bienbon, a spell language scholar, is responsible for studying the translation of spells between different language systems.

(3) Fleur has a Veela cousin. In the original book, two beautiful half-blood Veelas attended her wedding. However, since Veelas can only be female, they can only be cousins ​​with different surnames, not first cousins. There is a very famous fan fiction (I won't write it in writing) that writes about a beautiful half-blood Veela with the surname Delacour, but that is actually wrong.

(4) Bonaccord’s last name comes from the first president of the International Confederation of Wizards; Amorinus’ last name comes from the editor of the Stonehenge newspaper in the Fantastic Beasts movies.
