Chapter 384: Evil Spirit Battle Chess

Kneeling below the platform were Coban Yaxley, Claude Foley, and Squire Slughorn.

The pressure from the platform was so strong that the three felt an invisible pressure in the air pressing on them, and their muscles and bones were tightly pressed, unable to move.

Sherin was very satisfied with the effect. The three of them were actually quite powerful in magic, and Yaxley would not lose to any elite Auror, but under the pressure of him, the True Dragon Throne, and the four team leaders, he did not even have the strength to resist.

Before this meeting, Sherin had received intelligence from Susan that the battle against the Avery family was a great victory, and the direct descendants of the Avery family were wiped out without a single one left. All of their family businesses were changed hands without knowing it, and were divided up by Coban, Claude, and Squire. Coban himself was a wealthy pure-blood patriarch, so it was not necessary to mention that the other two had skyrocketed in value, and they tasted the sweetness for the first time under Coban's command.

Hearing that the direct lineage of their family had begun to look at them differently, several elders used various means to win them over, not only significantly improving their status in the family, but also allowing them to get in touch with the core circle within the family.

This is exactly what Xie Lin wanted.

Xie Lin waved his hand gently, and a mysterious invisible force swept down from the high platform, wrapping the three people's bodies, making them feel unprecedentedly comfortable physically and mentally.

"I've heard everything, you did a good job this time." Xie Lin said in a deep voice.

Coban bowed respectfully and said, "We dare not disappoint the master's trust and expectations. We have made a lot of gains this time. The Avery family doesn't look good at ordinary times, but they are really good at making money. They have a lot of industries in Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley. We have already divided them among the three parties according to the master's instructions."

"Well, I have no problem with this aspect. You can make it satisfactory to all three parties."

"We are all very satisfied with Yaxley's distribution. Thank you very much for the master's reward!" Claude and Squire said hurriedly. The two of them already knew that Yaxley had actually become Sherin's core staff. How could they dare to complain? They were just afraid that they would not express their feelings and prove their loyalty quickly enough.

Sherin nodded. He was not surprised by their obedient attitude. After the extreme intimidation, they were supplemented with benefits. In addition, with Yaxley's proper operation, the two of them had gradually integrated into the role of Yaxley's subordinates.

"Coban, stand up and talk!"

"Thank you, Master." Coban stood up slowly, ignoring the two people who were still kneeling, and continued: "We have searched Avery's ancestral home and the estates of other major family members very carefully. A total of 52 ordinary magic books were seized, and there were three books involving black magic and forbidden magic, which are..."

"The Avery family's Gringotts vault has also fallen into our control. In addition to money, there are also many alchemical items. After our sorting, they can be mainly classified into living, leisure, medical, auxiliary, weapons... A total of two large boxes, I have made a list of the items, please take a look, Master." After saying that, he held a roll of parchment in both hands and presented it.

Without seeing Xie Ling do anything, the parchment suddenly fell into Xie Ling's hands. Everyone, including Daphne and the other girls, was shocked. Xie Ling's spatial magic attainments had reached such a high level without him noticing. Xie Ling's progress was so terrible that even Daphne and Salfu, who accompanied him almost every day, did not understand how his magic skills could progress so quickly.

Xie Ling had divine insight into Amaterasu, so how could he not understand the thoughts of several people?

He sighed in his heart. Others did not understand his difficulties at all. He did not want to improve so quickly. In the final analysis, the most fundamental motivation for his progress was actually the pressure from others!

The extremely powerful enemy, the mysterious force hidden in the dark, the shrewd Dumbledore, the girlfriend who needed to be rescued or the curse was removed, the family and companions who needed to be protected... These were the real reasons why he dared not relax at all times and could only move forward bravely. If he did not advance, he would retreat.

Of course, the experience and understanding he gained from almost uninterrupted actual combat training is also the main reason for his increasingly profound understanding of magic and control of emotions.

In this peaceful era, few wizards have experienced actual combat that can compare with Schelling. Even those experienced and battle-hardened old Aurors cannot face lost black magic creations, ferocious plants from ancient times, man-eating beasts ten times their size, and face the siege of three magicians at the same time...

Perhaps, in today's world, in terms of actual combat experience, only Dumbledore can be better than Schelling.

"Well, put these treasures and books here first, and I will ask Latifa and the house elves to come here to sort them out later. As for the three black magic books, I will take them away directly. I have obtained a lot of good books recently, and it is time for me to spend some time to study for myself." As soon as he finished speaking, three black magic books as thick as bricks suddenly appeared in his hands, and then disappeared from his hands like a magic trick. No one could see clearly how he did it.

(A large number of magic books are obtained!)

(A large number of alchemical items are obtained!)

(Three black magic books are obtained!)

Today, Xielin has long passed the stage of being hungry for books and swallowing them whole. Those ordinary magic books are learning resources prepared for members of the Sleeping Dragon Society. Xielin will not spend more time on them, even if he has a time converter.

Only these three black magic books, plus the six black magic books that Yaxley and Selwyn brought from their respective families earlier, are the things that can really interest him to study.

Don't forget that he still has Yaxley's family magic, Lestrange's family magic supplement, and Selwyn's family magic to study and master. These are the ultimate skills and ultimate killers that the pure-blood families have accumulated and refined over the years, which can definitely help his strength.

"Are there no black magic items in those treasures? Also, does the Avery family have no family secret magic?" Xielin asked calmly, without any joy or anger in his voice.

"Master, the Avery family doesn't actually have many black magic items in their collection, and when we suddenly launched an offensive, some of them who reacted quickly used some black magic items on us, such as the flying knife that can automatically aim at the heart... During the battle, many black magic items were used up as disposable consumables..."

"But the good news is that, in my opinion, most of their black magic items are not rare treasures, and most of them are not as good as those in Borgin and Burke's," Coban said, "Later, Avery's youngest son tried to sacrifice the flesh and blood of other family members to activate their family treasures, but thanks to the master's blessing, he didn't have this opportunity. He was killed by Claude before he took action."

"Well done, Claude, I will remember your contribution this time." Sherin said.

"I dare not take credit for it. Everything was arranged properly by the master, and Yaxley led and managed well, so Claude was able to have this opportunity to contribute to the master." Claude said loudly.

"Well, you two stand up too!"

Claude and Squire looked at each other, both of them were happy, and hurriedly stood up, bowing their heads respectfully.

Coban spoke again: "The last treasure of the Avery family has finally fallen into our hands, and now it is just right to present it to the master." After that, he carefully took out something from his pocket, which turned out to be a set of wizard chess.

Before Sherin spoke, Coban had already spoken first. He explained solemnly: "Master, this is not an ordinary wizard chess. This chess set was quite famous in the wizard world a few centuries ago. It has a name that resounds throughout the world, called-"

"Evil Ghost Battle Chess."
