Chapter 155 Interesting List

The results of the competition are announced in real time across Europe.

On the day of the competition, the visiting media was not just the Daily Prophet - France's "Silver Bat", Germany's "Silver Bat Daily", Nordic "Viking Daily", gossip magazine "Confusion", women's The magazine "Witches Weekly", the curiosity magazine "The Quibbler", etc., as long as the media with some reputation in Europe are basically here, it is naturally Gulana's intention behind this. As the spokesperson of her organization, Schelling, of course, must Take this opportunity to build momentum for Xie Lin and build Xie Lin into a powerful and idol idol in the wizarding world.

After the competition, Schelling received letters like snowflakes. The senders covered almost every country in Europe, sending words of praise and appreciation in different languages. Some even organized events in their own countries at their own expense. In the fan club, there was a person named "Admiral Jaina" who also attached a reward to the letter - a cash roll stamped with the Gringotts seal, with a value of 115 Galleons written on it!

Xie Lin asked Daphne to gather all the members of Sleeping Dragon Society, and a group of people helped open, translate, and reply to the letters one by one in the secret room behind the large mirror on the fifth floor. A few hours passed like this, and when it was time for dinner, the members left first, leaving only the sisters Sherlin, Murray, and Greengrass continuing to open letters.

Of course, Schelling would not abuse himself and his three girlfriends. Dobby brought a sumptuous dinner to him, and even opened a bottle of Ogden champagne to celebrate Schelling's success in winning his first project.

That evening, when they entered the Slytherin common room, there was once again a roar of cheers and uproar. The tables and chairs were covered with mountains of cake, sizzling pumpkin juice and butterbeer.

Blaise Chabini set off some hard-drawn fireworks, and the air was filled with stars and sparks. Several eye-catching new banners were hung on the walls of the lounge. Most of the banners showed Schelling pointing his wand at the fire dragon, making it bow its head like a puppy, but there were also two that showed it. The scene where Lee's butt is on fire.

Draco came over, patted Xie Lin on the shoulder hard, and said with pride: "I really have you! Xie Lin, I have already written to tell my parents, and they are very proud of you!"

Xie Lin looked at Draco and finally said what he had been hiding in his heart for a long time: "Thank you, pig shit..."

"Don't call me that name!" Draco was a little "angry". This was the nickname the two brothers gave themselves when they were children, but they had never used it to each other since they were 9 years old.

The two brothers looked at each other quietly and laughed uncontrollably.

Draco stopped laughing and said in a ferocious manner: "Huh, you just won the first project. Let's not talk about that useless Potter. I think those two girls are really strong. You are the best." It’s better to be ‘careful’!”

Xie Lin's eyes and mouth were still smiling, but there was a faint light shining deep in his eyes. He said loudly: "I got it, you scumbag. Don't worry!"

"Ah!!! You're still talking!" Hearing the noisy laughter from the little wizards around him, Draco looked like he was about to go crazy.

Just when Draco picked up a piece of cake and wanted to throw it at Xie Lin, Xie Lin suddenly said softly: "Thank you, brother."

Draco paused for a moment and snorted softly, "I won't fight with you anymore, I'll go back to my room and go to bed!" Draco turned and left proudly, taking the cake in his hand with him. Before walking into the corridor of the boys' dormitory behind the cyan tapestry, he said softly without looking back, "As you said, we are brothers."

Seeing Draco's back disappear behind the tapestry, Xie Lin's lips curled up slightly.

Draco's departure did not cool down the atmosphere at the scene, but made the younger wizards even crazier. At this time, beer foam, food remnants, and colorful ribbons shot from various colorful cannons were everywhere on the table and on the ground.

Pansy walked over, followed by her three little followers - Audrey, Tracy, Millicent and others. She smiled and said: "Congratulations, Sherlin."

"Thank you, Pansy," Schelling responded politely.

"This celebration," Pansy said pointedly, "Draco organized it for you. It is said that he spent all his pocket money this semester."

Schelling said softly: "I understand, thank you too, Pansy."

At this time, Terrence Higgs appeared out of nowhere with a large glass of butterbeer in his hand. He raised the glass and said loudly: "Here's to us Slytherins." The brave man - Schelling!"

All the little wizards raised their cups at the same time and shouted Schelling's name.

After putting down the cup, Terence said: "You are so awesome, Sherlin! It's incredible! You broke the iron rule that 'fire dragons cannot be tamed'! As far as I know, in the past hundred years, no one has been able to do this." Yes, it’s just you and Scamander, the Master of Fantastic Beasts!”

Schelling had also heard about Scamander's deeds. It was the period when the Muggles launched the First World War (1914-1918). Scamander participated in the Ministry of Magic's top-secret plan to tame the Ukrainian Iron Belly, and finally This plan was terminated because the fire dragons only listened to Scamander and continued to obey other dragon tamers.

Regarding this strange phenomenon, Sherin speculated that Scamander's family might have a similar blood talent of being close to magical animals, and because of his slightly autistic personality, he forced out this talent.

Nott also came over and handed a package to Sherin, "This is what my father asked me to give you, saying it's a gift to congratulate you on your victory today."

Sherin and Nott exchanged glances and nodded in tacit understanding.

The Carol sisters touched the golden egg that was shining with golden light, "Oh my God, it's quite heavy. Is this the clue to the second level?"

At this time, others also began to pay attention to the golden egg. Bryce said, "What will be inside it?"

"I don't know, I haven't studied it yet," Sherin showed a mean smile, "But you can open it and take a look?"

Bryce handed the golden egg to the strongest Gower, and he dug his fingernails into a circle of grooves on the golden egg and pried the egg open.

It was empty, nothing inside - but the moment it was opened, a terrifying, sharp and piercing scream filled the room.

"Close it!" Pansy shouted, covering her ears with her hands.

Goyle slammed the golden egg shut. "What is that?" Blaise asked, staring at the golden egg, "It sounds like the cry of a banshee... but it also sounds a bit like the scream of a mandrake. Anyway, it makes me feel bad..."

"What are you afraid of?" Terence said, "Xellin has tamed even a fire dragon, so how could he be afraid of these?"

Everyone hurriedly agreed.

When Xielin returned to the dormitory, it was almost one o'clock in the morning. He opened the package that Old Nott gave him, and inside was a book called "Alchemical Lock Encyclopedia", which contained all the methods of making and cracking alchemical locks from ancient times to the present.

Very good, this is exactly what Xielin needs.

Xie Lin deeply felt the importance of building power. In his previous life, many fan fictions liked the protagonist to be strong alone in the wind. They never thought that everyone has their own areas of expertise and weaknesses. No matter how powerful a person is, even if he is as talented as Voldemort, he cannot dominate the world by himself. Only by gathering the power of everyone can more things be done.

He took out a few more objects from the suitcase space and placed them on the bed one by one. These were all gifts sent to him by his allies. It took a lot of time to sort them out today. Now that there is no one around, it is just right to take them out for research.

Sister Gulana sent him a dragon-shaped specimen sealed in a transparent container. According to her letter, the one inside was a specimen of an ancient dragon cub excavated by an archaeologist in the organization in a certain ruins. The organization's secret sealing technique was used, and it also attached a little magic power of the ancient dragon, that is, the blood power of the ancient dragon.

Mr. Slughorn gave him a potion, and it was extremely precious. In addition to a bottle of Felixir, there was also a large bottle of dragon's blood. Pure dragon's blood extracted from an adult dragon is very expensive, and its trade has almost been monopolized by the Ministry of Magic, and it is almost impossible to buy it on the market.

And the bottle that Slughorn gave was not an ordinary adult dragon's blood, but a bottle of activated dragon's blood, which requires many complicated ritual steps and precious magic materials, and takes several months to make.

Because of Dumbledore's relationship, it is well known that ordinary dragon's blood has twelve uses (this research was published by Dumbledore when he was young), although most of them are quite useless, such as cleaning the oven, removing spots, treating plantar warts, etc. In his previous life, Schelling often wondered why dragon's blood could be sold at such a high price.

It turned out that what ordinary wizards and civilians didn't know was that those were the uses of ordinary dragon's blood.

The real value of dragon's blood lies in the fact that it can be made into active dragon's blood.

Active dragon blood can stimulate the body's functions and potential, and the effect varies slightly depending on the type of dragon used. However, the production process is very difficult, and even the top potion masters have few opportunities to refine active dragon blood.

Take the bottle that Schelling received as an example. This is the black dragon blood extracted from a living Hebridean black dragon. Then Slughorn added the belly skin of the Ukrainian Iron Belly, the fangs of the Peruvian Venomous Dragon, the black ridges of the Norwegian Ridgeback, the pointed tail sting of the Hungarian Horntail, the golden tassel-shaped spikes of the Chinese Fireball Dragon (similar to the sideburns of a lion), the golden horns of the Romanian Longhorn, and the eyes of the Australian Egg White Eyed Dragon...

These materials are very expensive and rare, and the ceremony also has many requirements for them, such as the horns of the longhorn must be three feet long, the fangs of the Venomous Dragon must not have sprayed venom for at least three months, and the eyes of the Egg White Eyed Dragon must be at least larger than a watermelon...

After completion, it needs to be sent to the Star Gathering Platform under the control of the Ministry of Magic, where there is a magic circle that gathers the moonlight and starlight, so that this dragon blood is illuminated by the strongest starlight and moonlight, so that the power in the blood will mutate.

It was not surprising that Xie Lin received gifts from these three people. As his fame grew, sister Gulana's interests became closer to his, so she would definitely not hesitate to show her favor to Xie Lin. Similarly, for Slahoen, famous people are like honey to bees, and they are the ones he is most keen to win over and make friends with.

What surprised Xie Lin was the fourth gift.

The sender of this gift was the father of the Carlo sisters, the current head of the Carlo family, Alvin Carlo.

Alvin Carrow is a man with a dignified appearance. Although he is not as famous as the heads of other pure-blood families, he is not an easy person to deal with. In the original book, the Carrow family is a fanatical pure-blood supremacy family, but he himself did not personally take action like Lucius, but sent his useless brother Amycus and sister Alecto to join the Death Eaters.

Amycus and Alecto are obviously not very strong, even the newly adult Harry and the underage Luna can knock them down, but they are entrusted by the Death Eaters to infiltrate Hogwarts and serve as Hogwarts professors. In fact, behind this, more or less, it is because of Alvin Carrow's face.

Let's not talk about what the gift is, just the act of giving a gift actually means a lot of things.

The Carrow family's outward support for pure-blood supremacy is probably just a pretense. After all, Schelling's style of doing things in Hogwarts is no secret. If you are willing to check, you will know that Schelling is probably not a pure-blood supremacist. Mr. Carrow's two daughters are studying in Hogwarts, so there is no reason for him not to know.

In this way, the meaning behind Alvin Carrow's move is not difficult to understand - this is a family that puts interests first. Amycus and Alecto will join the Death Eaters only for the interests of the family. This does not prevent Alvin himself from betting elsewhere. If he can gain Schelling's friendship and make the family's choices wider, he will do it without hesitation.

In other words, this is an object that can be fought for!

The value of the gift is not light. After all, it was given by the head of the sacred 28 pure-blood family himself. It was a simple list, but there were some names that were not simple at all.

Thorfinn Rowle, Coban Yaxley, Troven Selwyn, Archibald Avery, Sebastian Rochiel, Leobold Slughorn...

The names of Old Nott and Alvin Carrow were also seen on it...

Some of these people are recognized Death Eaters, and some are pure-blood family heads who provided funds and people but did not personally participate.

This is a very interesting list!

Schelling's pupils flashed with a shrewd light, and the corners of his mouth raised a wicked arc. If he guessed correctly, this list confirmed a certain conjecture he had always had.

It seems that Mr. Carrow really gave him a great favor!
