Chapter 191 Brotherly Blood Alliance

Armand was lying motionless on the ground, apparently in a coma. The black energy slowly dissipated from his body, leaving only the Ring of the House Master on his left index finger still shining with a strange black light.

This battle was quite difficult, but Xie Lin also gained a lot. After all, the other party is also a person who is proficient in ancient black magic and has a level of magic power reaching the level of a quasi-mage——

Even if he is limited by Draco's body and cannot exert his maximum strength, even if he is merciful because he wants to take away his own body, his ability to defeat the opponent by relying on layout, strategy and the trump card at the bottom of the box speaks for itself. . In addition to gaining practical combat experience, Xie Lin also gained a deeper understanding of his actual combat power.

He believes that now, even if he meets Voldemort in his heyday, or other great magisters, although he will most likely be defeated, he should still be able to survive a few attacks, and even cause some trouble for the opponent. .

What's more, there is actually a lot of time before the advent of troubled times. Before that time comes, I am afraid that I still have a lot of room to grow.

Xie Lin came to Draco, leaned down, and lightly pricked Draco's palm with the wand. A slight wound appeared on the palm. Xie Lin used the wand to pick out a blood droplet from the wound and manipulated it. The blood droplets floated in mid-air, and then were put into a special container.

As soon as Xie Lin put away the container and wand, Draco's eyelashes moved slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a somewhat confused look. Well, his pupils are gray, no longer the scary red. When he saw Xie Lin, who looked concerned, he suddenly showed a very complicated expression.

"Xie Lin..." Draco sat up with his upper body on the ground, hesitated for a long time, and finally said with a trembling voice: "I'm sorry..."

"My stupid brother!" Xie Lin smiled, "What are you talking about, remember? We are brothers!"

Draco pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't. He shook his head, took off the Ring of the House Master, and stuffed it into Xie Lin's hand, "You should keep this thing. ! You are the most suitable next head of the family!"

Xie Lin smiled, looked directly into Draco's eyes, and said softly: "Both you and father think too much."

"I am ambitious and have ideals, but the position of head of the family has never been in my plans," Xie Lin said lightly, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter, "The world I want, The family can't give it back to me... don't worry! You can inherit the position of family head with peace of mind, and as your brother, I will do my best to support you and maintain your majesty and status in the family. I can guarantee you now. , although our concepts are different, I think that at the end of the two different routes, we can create new brilliance for the family.”

"I promise you that I will not do anything that harms your interests, nor will I do anything that harms the interests of the family." Xie Lin looked directly into Draco's eyes and said solemnly: "As long as you and your father also promise Me, don’t be my enemy. In addition to my family, there are many people and things that I cherish. They are my bottom line. Whoever hurts them will be treated as my enemy!”

Draco fell into silence. He shook his head first, and then nodded. After experiencing the nightmare of almost being taken away by his ancestors, many of his original views on his family had also changed.

"As long as you can understand this, based on this, I think I can make you feel more at ease..." Schelling said.

Draco's eyes lit up slightly, "What should we do?"

Xie Lin said slowly: "Brothers' blood alliance!"

"The brotherly blood alliance is a highly binding magical contract like the Unbreakable Oath. We each give a drop of blood and merge together. From now on, we can no longer hurt each other. In other words, you can continue to protect the family in your own way. Glory, and I can pursue my ideals with peace of mind. In the process, we will be bound by magic and cannot fight each other. In this way, we no longer have to worry about the drama of brotherly battle between us, and you don’t have to worry about it. And eager for quick success to practice black magic in pursuit of power..."

Draco nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay."

Of course, Xie Lin actually had some reservations in his words. What he didn't say was that the effect of the brotherly blood alliance is that "you cannot harm the other party with magic." Magic is not the only thing that can hurt people in this world.

Before Schelling traveled back in time, only the first two Fantastic Beasts movies were released. Although he had chatted several times with Rowling, who wrote the script, he didn't know much more than other readers except for some insider information about other magic schools. So he only knew that Dumbledore was unable to fight Grindelwald due to the Blood Pact in the early days of the Saints' Uprising, but he didn't know how Dumbledore finally cracked the Blood Pact and defeated the latter in 1945.

Could it be that the so-called battle of the century between the two was actually a hand-to-hand fight? Melee wizard?

Seemingly going too far, Xie Lin quickly retracted his thoughts and took out his wand.

Xie Lin tapped the palms of the two people with his wand. Two small red blood beads circled each other, slowly rose into the air, and finally merged in mid-air, turning into a beautifully shaped container. It looked like a diamond-shaped pendant with an inlaid in the middle. Got a round bead.

"It's done," Xie Lin put the container into the suitcase space, looked at Draco who was hesitant to speak, and then said: "What's wrong? Don't worry, this blood alliance container cannot be easily destroyed, and if it is destroyed by force There will also be backlash. As for the Ring of the Patriarch, you can take it back. After all, it is something entrusted to you by your father, and you cannot transfer it to others at will. Anyway, that guy Armand was hit hard by me and he wants to accumulate enough strength again. I’m afraid it will take several centuries to seize the house.”

"No, I absolutely believe you. That's not what I want to say..." Draco shook his head, "Actually... I will be taken away from you, not because I want to compete with you for the position of head of the family-"

"Indeed, I am jealous of your talent. I am envious that you can easily get the attention of your parents. I long for your demeanor that is admired by thousands and supported by thousands of people. But these can only be regarded as fuses at best. The real reason - —”

"Okay! Stop it!" Schelling interrupted Draco, "Some things don't need to be said-"

Xie Lin's eyes were shining brightly, and he whispered: "I promise you, I will cherish her."

Draco was stunned, and at the same time there was a hint of bitterness in his heart. He didn't say anything, but Xie Lin already knew everything. Is the gap between the two really that big?

Draco nodded, but couldn't help but sigh, "I really envy you, brother..."

"Envy?" Xie Lin smiled brightly and said, "As long as you observe the world carefully, you will know how happy you are -"

"Muggles live in confusion every day, toiling away at school, work, and family every day, but what they want to get with all their efforts may only require a simple transfiguration here... ...The squibs are even more miserable. They know the existence of magic, but they can only watch it from a distance and have no chance to touch it...On the surface, Muggle wizards seem to have been rewarded by God and can enter the magical world, but they have to start after graduation. Worrying about finding a job, running for a living..."

"As for us, both of us were born into pure-blood nobles. Perhaps we were born to bear the responsibility and honor of our family, but at the same time, we also gained the family's abundant resources, which allowed us to save the time of those people just mentioned. troubles, but at the same time it puts new shackles on our shoulders.”

"People are rare enough to come into this world, so they should live straightforwardly and bravely live out themselves, instead of caring about other people's eyes and making meaningless comparisons between themselves and others... Look at Potter and Weasley, Although one of them has no father or mother, and the other has to tighten his belt to live, they will never belittle themselves because of this..."

Draco nodded, but then shook his head. He seemed to have grasped something vaguely, but felt it was unclear. He said, "You mean... everyone has his own destiny? "

Xie Lin couldn't help but smile, "Don't use such mysterious words as fate. Let's put it this way. Everyone should have their own purpose for survival, be able to find their own position in this world, and work hard to fulfill the responsibilities they have given themselves. , it is already worthwhile for us to come to this world and live once.”

Seeing Draco's hesitant expression, Schelling said: "Don't ask me what you should do, what is the meaning of your existence, the answer to this question should be found by yourself."

"Then..." Draco seemed to have made up his mind, "What about you? What is your mission? Since the position of head of the family is dispensable in your eyes, it is obvious that becoming the Minister of Magic, or Dominating the magical world is not your goal. What are you pursuing?"

Xie Lin smiled and did not answer, but said: "Draco, maybe you can't believe it, this world is not as simple as we imagined. Each of us will rely on our own knowledge and understanding, and be bound by these things. We also call these things reality. Knowledge and cognition are very ambiguous things, and what we think of as reality may be just an illusion——"

"There is a kind of fungus that lives at sunrise and dies at sunset, and does not know night and dawn throughout its life; the cicada lives in spring and dies in summer, and does not know that there is autumn and winter in its life; Muggles live in mediocrity for decades , maybe rich, maybe powerful, but they never know the existence of magic, wizards and truth..."

"Then, why don't we wizards live in the reality we imagine?"

"We wizards claim to be the most powerful beings. Are we too arrogant?"

"Yes, we have put down several goblin rebellions, but why have we never been able to master their secrets of forging metal?"

"Yes, house elves are obedient to our orders. Without our wizard's orders, they can't even leave the house where they are trapped. So how do they reproduce?" (This refers to each family. Only one house elf, such as Malfoy, Crouch, and Black, is common knowledge in the wizarding world, so Draco can understand)

"Whether they are goblins or house elves, they are not allowed to hold wands, and there is no way to pass on knowledge similar to Hogwarts. So where did they learn their spells?"

"We learned in astronomy class that the earth we live on is just a drop in the ocean of stars. So is it possible that there are beings more powerful than wizards on other planets?"

"I have learned space magic. Outside the space we are in, it is actually connected to a chaotic void space. So what is the other end of the void space? Could it be that the space we are in is just one of many spaces? Will those so-called different dimensions have a power more powerful than magic?"

"In my opinion, whether it is Grindelwald's so-called wizard supremacy or the pure-blood supremacy advocated by the Dark Lord, they are just based on their own cognition... and I--"

Xellin's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "The path I want to take is nothing more than breaking these fantasies of wizards..."
