Chapter 166 Aunt Vida (Additional Update)
Xie Lin was secretly surprised. He had given up studying black magic for so long. Although the traces left by that time could not be completely erased, how could they be so easily seen? At least, he felt Dumbledore didn't see it.
What he didn't expect was that the black magic he learned were almost all secret spells of pure-blood families. They might not be visible to outsiders, but they fell into the hands of Veda Roach, who was also proficient in the family's secret black magic. In your eyes, she is such a shrewd person, how could you possibly hide it from her?
"Aunt Veda, to tell you the truth - yes, before enrolling in Hogwarts, I had read some magic research records of the Rochiel family here, and I did try to learn some of the magic in it... But after I entered school, I focused on the magic knowledge taught in the school and the Malfoy family’s own family magic, so I was already unfamiliar with the magic of the Rochiel family.”
"What a dishonest child!" Veda raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said with a smile: "It is a good thing to be cautious, but don't be nervous, my aunt is not here to cause trouble for this matter, I will watch your magic power fluctuate, You’re good at learning dark magic! Why haven’t I heard that Hogwarts now teaches dark magic?”
She paused and continued: "I won't beat around the bush with you. My aunt really doesn't mean any harm. Instead, she has a big gift for you. On the one hand, I want to repay Druella's kindness, and on the other hand, I want to see her. Considering your talent and potential, I haven’t seen a young wizard with such strong blood power for a long time. If it is you, you are indeed worthy of this gift from me!”
After saying that, Veda took out a small old wooden box from her pocket. From the magic eye, you can see the magic power fluctuations similar to space magic. Xie Lin can be sure that this is a box that has been cast with a traceless stretching spell. box.
She opened the box in front of Xie Lin. The first thing that came into view was ten bottles of colorful magic potions. Xie Lin only took a brief look and saw a lot of good things, all of which could not be bought on the market. Controlled products - Two bottles each of Felixir, Veritaserum, Polyjuice, Living Hell Potion, and Cupid's Heart Lock Potion.
Then there was a strange skull-shaped ring and more than ten thick magic books.
"Don't be so quick to surprise, Xie Lin," Vida said slowly: "These are the entire inheritance of my Rochiel bloodline. I know that you may have obtained part of the Rochiel family from Druela. The secret magic, but aunt can assure you that what I give you here will only be more complete and complete, after all-"
Her eyes were piercing, "I am the direct descendant of the core family of that generation... but... alas..."
Xie Lin probably guessed why she, a direct descendant of her core, was reduced to an unknown person. It was probably because she was dragged down by Grindelwald. He didn't want to mention her sad past, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Auntie, what's going on with this skull ring?"
After hearing this, Vida fell into a slight daze. After a long while, she finally said: "This ring... is... a legacy given to me by a great wizard. Wearing it, in addition to increasing the wearer's magical power, You should also know that the core inheritance of the Rochier family is elemental black magic, and Li Huo is one of them. Others include black water, purple thunder, dark cloud, etc., which are all extremely lethal elemental magics. This ring can help you master them faster."
These are all good things!
However, the cautious Xie Lin did not have the habit of accepting heavy gifts from people casually. He cautiously said: "Auntie, before I accept these things, if you don't mind, I have a few questions that I hope you can answer. ”
Vida said calmly: "I know that little guy like you is not that easy to fool. Tell me, do you have any questions?"
"These gifts are too valuable," said Xie Lin: "Let's not talk about the friendship between grandma and you. Even if you see any potential in me, shouldn't these core inheritances of the Rochier family be handed over to you? To someone named Rocher?"
"Even if for some reason, you can't hand it over to the French branch, how come I heard that Uncle Ivan has inherited blood in private and is an illegitimate son? Shouldn't you hand over these inheritances to him? Sorry, I I really can’t believe that such an important family inheritance can be easily passed on to someone with a different surname if you have a choice, even though I have a quarter of Rochier’s blood.”
At that moment, a glimmer of light flashed in Veda's eyes, and she slowly said: "Who said that Ivan has blood descendants? That's a rumor!"
"Auntie," Xie Lin smiled, "You said it yourself, we are all smart people, why bother wasting each other's time here! If you don't want to answer that question, forget it, I will replace you with another one. ——”
Xie Lin's eyes suddenly became cold, and he stared sternly into Veda's eyes, "The next question is more important, and it is the key to whether I can trust you. I hope you can answer it truthfully -"
"Just tell me! After I took these things from you, did you 'suddenly remember' that there were some things you wanted to ask me to help you do? What were those things?"
Veda's eyes began to flicker. She hesitated for a long time and finally sighed, "Little guy, I can't hide anything from you... Originally, my aunt didn't intend to tell you, but if I don't tell you the truth, I'm afraid You will never accept this gift no matter what."
"Auntie, tell the truth. Auntie does have some selfish motives for asking you to accept these gifts, but I don't need to do anything specifically for me, really." Veda sighed again, "Just now The reason why my aunt didn't say anything was because she was involved in some shameful secrets..."
"That boy Ivan did leave a bloodline, but it was not an illegitimate child, but a daughter, and the process by which he had this daughter was disgraceful. He used the Imperius Curse to forcibly possess a woman, which is very important to the family. It is a very shameful thing for me that a noble pure-blood descendant actually needs to use this method to get a woman..."
"Originally, the family did not intend to recognize the blood descendant. After all, the matter was not visible to the public, and the descendant was still a daughter who could not pass on the surname to future generations. However, later, Ivan and his old man, both father and son, participated in the food Dead Apostle camp, and died in the First Wizarding War. As a result, the British branch of the Rochiel family withered, and the status of this illegitimate daughter began to become important... After all, this branch of Rochiel She is also the last descendant with pure blood."
Xie Lin frowned, "You mean... you want me to help you take care of this descendant? Do I know her?"
Vida smiled, "More than just acquaintance, she is your girlfriend——"
"Murray McDougal."
"What rice!!!" Xie Lin exclaimed in shock.
Last summer, when sending Murray home after a date at an art exhibition, Xie Lin met Murray's parents, Mr. and Mrs. McDougal.
So it seems that Mr. McDoug was cheated? Does he know about this?
As if seeing the doubts in Xie Lin's heart, Vida explained: "McDoug knows about this, and the family has already compensated him. In addition, it is not his wife's fault, and the child is even more. They are innocent, so you can rest assured that he has accepted them."
"Then, I understand, thank you, aunt!" Veda was indeed right. Xie Lin did not need to make any extra effort for these gifts, because he would definitely take good care of Mo Rui with or without these gifts. only--
In this case, plus Mei, all four of his girlfriends are from the 28 holy pureblood families, right?
And what’s even weirder is that they all have the core blood of the family, so to speak—
Xie Lin had to give birth to at least three children to continue the bloodlines of these families... He suddenly had a strange thought, as if he had turned into a stallion...
