Chapter 347: Three Vassal Clans

Seeing this horrifying and tragic scene, Peter Pettigrew and McNeill, who had been quietly watching the whole process, felt their lips dry and their tongues parched. They swallowed their saliva at the same time, and looked at Schelling with eyes full of awe.

Schelling looked young, but his vicious mind and cruel methods were no less than Voldemort, and it could even be said that he was even more terrible than Voldemort. And what made him more terrifying than Voldemort was that -

The glorious image he showed outside was completely different from the dark image in the Dragon Dungeon - just think about it, a teenager who could have both Dumbledore and Voldemort's personalities, how terrible his scheming character, strategy and wisdom were.

They couldn't help but secretly rejoice that it was a wise decision for them to surrender to Schelling first.

Xielin snapped his fingers and untied the "snake binding technique" on them. They didn't care about the pain all over their bodies. They dragged their weak and seriously injured bodies and moved to Xielin, kissing the hem of Xielin's wizard robe.

Except for one person -

Trovain Selwyn.

It would be a lie to say that Selwyn was not afraid, otherwise he would not have fainted from fear.

However, the hatred between him and Xielin was deeper than that of others - his daughter mysteriously disappeared in Hogwarts a few months ago and there has been no news since then. In his heart, it is very likely that she will die. This matter is obviously related to Xielin; his wife was burned to ashes in the battle with Xielin's puppet army last night, and her body was not left.

The hatred of killing his wife and taking his daughter is irreconcilable, so even if his heart and will have been defeated by Xielin, the deep hatred still maintains his last sanity, making it impossible for him to truly surrender to Xielin.

Schelling had anticipated this, and turned a blind eye to the hatred in Troven's eyes, as if he had not heard it, and let him sit on the ground and glare at him, instead looking at the four Death Eaters who surrendered in front of him.

"Coban, Claude, Squal, Bahaza, listen to me--" Schelling changed his previous cold tone and said softly: "I, Schelling, am not a tyrannical and bloodthirsty person. As long as you are loyal to me and useful to me, I will take you in regardless of the past. From today--"

"As long as you work for me wholeheartedly, without second thoughts, and prove your own value with strength and talent, I will naturally give you certain benefits in return..." Schelling said lightly: "Even, you don't have to worry about Voldemort's revenge, I will take care of everything."

"Thank you, great master!" The four people responded in unison, and those who didn't know would think it was a long-trained army.

"Corban Yaxley!"

"I'm here! What do you want from the master?" Yaxley hurriedly responded when he heard his name.

"From today on, the Yaxley family officially becomes a vassal of the Malfoy family, on par with the Goyle family and the Crabbe family. Do you have any objections?" Sherin asked coldly.

"I dare not have any objections. Everything is up to the master." Yaxley responded loudly without any hesitation. Avery's experience was still vivid in his mind. At this moment, he had already forgotten the family honor. In his heart, proving his loyalty to Sherin was the most important first thing.

"Very good, I am very satisfied with your attitude now--" Xie Lin raised his mouth slightly, revealing a wicked smile, "Since you are so sensible, I will not treat my subordinates unfairly. You can keep all the wealth of your family, as well as all the titles and titles of your family in the past-including all tangible and intangible assets. You can rest assured that I always keep my word and will never touch a single bit."

"Thank you, Master! Your magnanimity will be remembered in my heart." Yaxley said hurriedly with great joy on his face.

The Yaxley family is one of the 28 sacred pure-blood families. In today's declining pure-blood families, it is one of the few remaining powerful families in Great Britain. It belongs to the first echelon. Its historical heritage can be traced back to the Middle Ages. The wealth it has accumulated is quite amazing.

Moreover, retaining the family title also means that he can maintain his original reputation and social status. After leaving here, he will still be the arrogant head of the Yaxley family in front of others, instead of being a vassal of the family like Goyle and Crabbe, who are inherently inferior in social status.

There is a reason why Schelling treats Yaxley so well. First, the power of the Yaxley family cannot be underestimated. It is unrealistic to directly swallow up the power of the entire family, and doing so will also waste the reputation and status of Yaxley. These so-called fame and status are also invisible forces that can be used by Schelling.

Second, strictly speaking, the Yaxley family is the first pure-blood family to be a vassal of Schelling. Although Goyle and Crabbe are also vassals of the Malfoy family, they are attached to Lucius, not Schelling. For Schelling, this is different. What he needs is a subordinate who is loyal to him, not blindly loyal to the suzerain family he is attached to.

"But——" Sherin changed the subject and said softly: "Except for wealth and titles, everything else of the Yaxley family must be handed over, including the affiliated families that are attached to you... They must sign a new magic contract and swear allegiance to me again... And the Yaxley family is a traditional noble family among pure-blood families. There must be a lot of valuable books and precious magic collections in the family, especially black magic books and treasures with black magic... And all the core inheritance of your family, whether it is secret magic, spells, or exclusive knowledge and technology, I want all of them, understand?"

Yaxley was shocked when he heard it. Although the conditions sounded quite harsh, compared with Avery's tragic end, he can now not only retain his rights as a human being, but also retain the family's wealth and status. This is already a pleasant surprise. He really dare not ask for more.

"Yes! I understand!" Yaxley said, "I have two vassal families, the Quigley family and the Cadwallader family. I will write a letter to them today and ask them to swear allegiance to the master as soon as possible."

"Quigley... Cadwallader..." Schelling had heard of these two families before. In his impression, they were not powerful families. Their power was weaker than Goyle and Crabbe, probably between the third and fourth echelons, but Schelling inexplicably felt familiar with these two surnames. He said casually, "Well, for the time being, this is it - although they will be directly loyal to me and obey me, I will arrange their status below you, on par with the Higgs family, the Warrington family, and the Montague family."

Speaking of Higgs and others, Schelling suddenly remembered where the familiarity came from -

It was Quidditch!

Terence Higgs, Cassius Warrington, and Graham Montague were all Quidditch players of Slytherin.

Isn't the surname Quigley the surname of Finbar Quigley, the batsman of the Irish Quidditch team in the 1994 Quidditch World Cup final last summer?

Finbar Quigley is also a professional player of the Ballycastle Bats. Later, in a media interview, when Gwenog Jones, the captain of the Holyhead Harpies, proudly mentioned to the reporter of the Daily Prophet that their fans were increasing, Finbar, who was also being interviewed, did not dare to disagree because he was afraid of being turned into a country bumpkin by Gwenog.

Of course, although he himself was afraid of Gwenog's power, it did not mean that his talent in Quidditch and flying should be denied, otherwise how could he be selected into the starting lineup of the Irish Quidditch team with so many strong players.

As for the surname Cadwallader, it is also related to Quidditch.

Urig Cadwallader of Hufflepuff is the Chaser of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. Schelling, who is familiar with all the plots of the original novel, remembers that in the description of the 2014 Quidditch World Cup on the original author's official website Pottermore, Urig became the Seeker of the Welsh Quidditch team.

Uh...

In this case, the vassal families under Schelling can almost form a Quidditch team.
