Chapter 338 Fulfilling the Promise

"I understand." Susan was about to leave, but she asked for some reason: "Do you have any other instructions?"

"No," Xie Lin shook his head gently and said softly: "Go and get busy, and don't forget to take care of yourself. The information of the Sleeping Dragon Society is far less important to me than your health."

Susan blushed, but said nothing, just nodded quickly, and then quickened her pace to leave.

As Susan left, the members of the Dragon Eye Group also left, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

Xielin turned to look at Joanna Devonte and said softly, "Jo, our intelligence network layout is almost complete - the only thing left is St. Mungo's Hospital for Magic. Although my father is one of the directors of the hospital board, he has always been responsible for donating money and knows nothing about the management inside... I don't have any talents who can help me infiltrate St. Mungo's for the time being. Can you help me persuade Principal Devonte?"

"President, I... I actually..." Joanna heard Xielin calling her nickname affectionately, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. "I actually told the ancestor portrait, she knows our situation, but there seems to be some kind of contract magic in the Hogwarts principal's office - every principal since the school was founded agreed to the conditions of the contract when taking the oath of office - they are obliged to serve the current principal."

"I understand that," Sherin asked, "Is it possible for her to pass on the news of St. Mungo's to both Dumbledore and us?"

"This is difficult..." Joanna said with some guilt: "She also has a general understanding of the situation of the Sleeping Dragon Society - of course, she promised me to keep it secret, not even Professor Dumbledore would tell it - mainly, she doesn't want to be caught between us and Dumbledore, you know... we and the headmaster will have a conflict sooner or later..."

"I understand," Sherin nodded, "I'm not the kind of person who forces others to do things. I'll think of another way to deal with the St. Mungo's Intelligence Network!"

Since Sherin founded the Sleeping Dragon Society, he has been making allies for the Sleeping Dragon Society. In his network of contacts, there are potion masters, divination masters, herbal masters, and alchemy masters, but there is no healer.

This is why his power has not been able to penetrate St. Mungo's.

Since Headmaster Devonte refused to help and he has no connections in the field of healers, he has to find another way.

Who said that only healers can stay in St. Mungo's?

Patients are also allowed!

Especially long-term patients who have to live in the hospital for a long time!

And Sherin just knew two such patients!

Neville Longbottom's silly face flashed through Sherin's mind, and he sighed in his heart, I'm really sorry, Neville -

Then, Sherin turned his head to look at Daphne who had been waiting beside him, and said softly: "Daphne, has Dobby and other elves sent any news?"

In addition to being the leader of the Dragon Head Group, Daphne also serves as Sherin's personal assistant. All information sent to Sherin by outsiders must be processed by Daphne, and the house elf errand task force headed by Dobby is responsible for delivering letters or oral messages.

Generally speaking, if it is just a small or medium-sized family like Vankanda and Warrington who wants to express their willingness to rely on Sherin, Daphne usually handles it herself.

Only the Holy 28 Pure Blood Family, or families with high power and real power in the magic field like Runcorn and McLaggen, are qualified to meet Sherin.

"That was a week ago. I saw you were busy preparing for the last project of the Triwizard Tournament and didn't tell you—" Daphne replied, "Dobby said that Gulana Cleopatra brought you good news. The Medieval Wizards Union has made a breakthrough in cracking the alchemical lock, and it is estimated that it can be unlocked within one to two months—"

It will take another month or two. Although it is a little longer than Schelling expected, it is still within an acceptable range.

"As for Durmstrang, Principal Karkaroff and Miss Hohenheim have urged Dobby to send several urgent letters, saying that they want to meet with you privately." Daphne said with a smile.

Karkaroff's reason for looking for her is obvious.

He just wants to seek her protection, such as a safe house protected by the Fidelius Charm to hide.

Karkaroff can become the principal of one of the three major magic schools in Europe. His comprehensive combat effectiveness cannot be worse than the four deans of Hogwarts.

However, he himself did not study much about spells that were not used for combat. In the original book, he did not cast the Fidelius Charm, but chose to hide in an unknown hut in the north, hoping that Voldemort would not chase him. In the end, he was killed.

The reason why he made such an unwise choice was that he was selfish and cold-hearted and could not find a trustworthy secret-keeper. With his spell level, he could not cast the advanced application of the Fidelius Charm, which was to set himself as a secret-keeper and hide in a secret place.

It can be seen from this that the study of magic should still be based on comprehensiveness and practicality. It is not advisable to immerse oneself in combat magic.

Schelling knew the Fidelius Charm. The two of them had made an "unbreakable contract" in Snape's potion classroom, which was to ask Schelling to guarantee Karkaroff's safety. At that time, Schelling's suggestion was the Fidelius Charm.

However, now Schelling has changed his mind.

First of all, Voldemort is now a true commander without troops. He has no manpower and time to deal with Karkaroff. Yes, it is true that Karkaroff's betrayal made Voldemort very angry, but Karkaroff's identity, strength, and importance made him a priority for Voldemort.

In addition, Schelling's attainments in curse magic are enough to be called the best in the world.

He has learned the knowledge in "Advanced Dark Magic Revealed" and "Abatail Volume 3 Curse". He has successfully sealed Astoria's blood curse, successfully cracked Shalph's blood curse, and successfully extracted Gorgon's curse and created the "Sleeping Dragon Mark".

He has absolute confidence that he can remove the Dark Mark that Voldemort planted on Karkaroff.

In this case, Voldemort will have to spend a lot of effort to find Karkaroff. After all, the location of Durmstrang itself is one of the biggest secrets in the magic world. Coupled with the special geographical environment of Northern Europe, there are too many places to hide.

Karkaroff can continue to stay at Termstrang as his headmaster and become one of the forces that Sherin can use.

It is a waste to leave an elite Auror-level wizard idle in a safe house.

There is a magic contract between Karkaroff and Sherin, and Sherin must meet him as soon as possible to complete the oath.
