Chapter 78 Resurrection Holiday

After that day, Xie Ling pushed himself harder and harder. No matter where he was, he could be seen holding a thick book and reading it seriously.

He first finished "The Thousand Magics", and then read the black magic books "Dark Potion" and "Fallen Creatures" in Malfoy's secret room. These books are all ancient books with thousands of pages. Not only are the contents difficult to understand, but the length and words are boring. There are also some quick-success black magic that can shake the reader's mind and lure unsuspecting readers into depravity.

However, Xie Ling, who has set his goal, will not be distracted by boring words, will not let the profound content wear out his patience, and will not let the power of quick success and quick profit frivolously change his temperament-because in his vision that penetrates time and space, he has seen his future, and all he has to do is to move towards it step by step!

In the book "Fallen Creatures", he read about a certain unknown black wizard's research on the curse on werewolves. He had tried to break the curse. Of course, he did not want to turn werewolves back to normal people, but wanted to keep werewolves in werewolf form forever and under his control. His research ultimately failed.

Interestingly, the direction of his research was somewhat similar to the notes of the old Armenian wizard that Schelling got from Lockhart, both of which were inspired by the ancient magic handed down from the Seleucid Empire. Schelling realized that perhaps the breakthrough point of the "Human Form Restoration Spell" was here.

In the book "Dark Potion", he found a potion that might play a big role in his strength - Bafe Brain Refresher. Most of the raw materials needed for Bafe Brain Refresher are not difficult to find, but they are very expensive. He has already collected a lot of jumping toadstools in the Forbidden Forest for backup, and Dobby can collect frog brains and dragon claw powder from major pharmacies in Diagon Alley.

Only the Runesbane Eggs encountered a problem - Runesbane Eggs are Class C prohibited trade goods and cannot be found in ordinary pharmacies. Schelling can only hope to try his luck in the underground black market in Knockturn Alley or Nicholas.

As for why to refine the Barfe Brain Refresher? Barfe Brain Refresher is a potion that can significantly enhance the brain power of the user. Many wizards confuse it with intelligence enhancers.

Intelligence enhancers can only make the drinker's thinking clearer, but cannot make people smarter; but Barfe Brain Refresher can develop people's brains and improve their memory. Every year in Hogwarts, there are many examples of 7th grade students going to the black market to buy Barfe Brain Refresher to help themselves get good grades in NEWT.

But Schelling believes that these people do not realize the true value of Barfe Brain Refresher. The most valuable use of Barfe Brain Refresher should be to enhance people's mental power. Mental power determines how accurate a wizard's control over spells is. Many complex spells have quite high requirements for mental power.

Most importantly, in his experiments with the Mask of Pain, Schelling had discovered that the rate of increase in magic power was not fixed. There were two factors that could affect the rate of increase in magic power. As long as the soul strength and mental strength were enhanced, the rate of increase could be increased.

Schelling had no idea about soul strength for the time being, but taking the Buffy Brain Refresher was undoubtedly the most obvious and easiest way to enhance mental strength.

Soon, the Easter holiday arrived.

For most students, the Easter holiday was not really relaxing. Third-year students never had so much homework. Neville seemed to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and he was not the only one. Ron and others' shouting about doing homework in pain could often be heard in the Gryffindor Common Room.

Hermione was even busier. Even though there was no Divination class and Hagrid's affairs were handled by Schelling, she still took more classes than anyone else in her class. She was usually the last to leave the common room at night and the first to arrive at the library the next morning. She had dark circles under her eyes like Lupin, and she always looked depressed.

On the day Hermione beat Draco, Harry and Ron stood up and reconciled with Hermione. Ron also forgave Hermione for the incident with Scabbers, but they had not seen a smile on her face for a long time, as if the arrogant and innocent girl no longer existed.

Harry had to do his homework whenever he could after Quidditch training every day, not to mention discussing tactics with Wood endlessly.

The match between Gryffindor and Slytherin will be held on the first Saturday after Easter. Slytherin is leading by 200 points in the league, which means that Harry and his team need to win by more than 200 points to win the cup. In this case, Harry's task becomes that he must first stop Draco from catching the Golden Snitch, and then he can catch the Golden Snitch after the team leads by 60 points. The difficulty is several times higher than before.

The most leisurely person is Sherin: his holiday homework has been completed long ago, and he does not need to participate in Quidditch training. On the second day after Easter, he moved from the Floo Network specially connected to him by Hogwarts to Sardinia, Italy.

Sardinia is an island located southwest of the Italian peninsula and is the second largest island in the Mediterranean.

Sardinia is a great gathering of cultures. Sardinian, a language derived from Latin, is still used on the island. However, in the north of the island, Catalan from the Iberian Peninsula is used. In the south of the island, the "Lycian" dialect is used. Therefore, even native Italians may not understand the meaning and cannot communicate.

In Muggle history, Sardinia has always been a battleground for military strategists. It was successively occupied and colonized by the Phoenicians, Romans, Vandals, Goths and Byzantines.

However, in the world of wizards, this has always been the headquarters of the European Wizards' Federation in the Middle Ages. Before the establishment of the International Federation of Wizards, the International Wizards' Congress was held here.

Even today, the International Confederation of Wizards has completely replaced the role of the former, and is more widely recognized by the international wizarding community. The Medieval European Confederation of Wizards still has considerable influence.

This is because there is also a collection of books handed down from the Middle Ages, which contain many studies and records of precious and rare ancient rune magic. Moreover, this organization is also closely related to the Silver Spear, which is responsible for organizing the "European Duel Competition".

When Xie Lin walked out of the fireplace, although his body was covered with ashes, he did not feel any dizziness or discomfort. He looked at the intact anti-sickness bracelet on his wrist with satisfaction - it had been improved countless times. , the anti-sickness bracelet can already withstand such a long distance transmission without breaking.

[The invention of the anti-sickness bracelet is completed! 】

Xie Lin cast a descaling spell on himself, and then observed the tall and spacious auditorium where he was.

The decorations and carvings in the auditorium are all in medieval style. The walls are covered with portraits of well-known European wizards from the medieval period. Schelling could recognize many of them - the German magic theorist Cornelius Agger. Reba, the Swiss alchemist Pallas, the famous Irish female Truikliona, etc., and of course the most proud representative of Slytherin - Merlin!

These portraits have inherited most of the memories of these characters (from birth to painting). When Schelling arrived, they gathered in small groups and whispered about Schelling's identity. Xie Lin couldn't help but smile. It seemed that there were very few visitors here on weekdays, making these portraits very boring.

Xie Lin walked to the reception desk. The table at the reception desk was filled with all kinds of silverware. There sat a middle-aged witch dressed in medieval times. The collar and cuffs of the wizard's robe were all extremely fluffy. Xie Lin couldn't help but smile to himself when he saw the lace and pleats. When he was in fourth grade, he could appreciate this design again on Ron.

Schelling showed the perfect accomplishments of a nobleman and asked politely: "Hello, madam. I am Malfoy, from Great Britain. I have an appointment with your chairman, Ms. Cropatra, today. Please pass the news on my behalf."

Seeing Xie Lin's impeccable etiquette, the witch knew that he must be from an ancient European family. She did not dare to neglect him. She only asked Xie Lin to wait for a moment, and then hurriedly wrote Xie Lin's name on a small piece of paper. Name, roll up a small piece of paper and put it into the mouth of a silverware that looks like a mouse. After the paper was put in, it turned into a streak of fire, as if it was burned.

Seeing Xie Lin staring at the silverware with interest, the witch explained: "This is a transmitter that can directly transmit the note to another silverware that is connected to it."

Not long after, a piece of paper spat out from Silverware's mouth with a spark.

The witch took a quick glance, then stood up and led Xie Lin to a side hall, and then walked up a long spiral staircase from the side hall. This spiral staircase was released with automatic rotation magic, just like in the Muggle world. Just like an escalator, as long as you stand on it, you will automatically rise step by step.

Arriving at a door with "Gulana Kropatra" written on it, the witch bowed and left Schelling behind.

Xie Lin opened the door and saw Ms. Cropatra, who had been communicating with him frequently this semester. To Schelling's surprise, Kropatra was very young. According to Schelling's guess, she was probably between 29 and 32 years old.

She wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, but she couldn't hide the shrewd and sharp eyes behind the lenses.

However, what attracted Xie Lin's attention more than her intellectual and elegant facial features was that she wore rings of different shapes on each finger. Without exception, a Guruni demon was engraved on the ring surface. Talisman, under the effect of the Magic Eye, each exudes completely different magic fluctuations.

A smile appeared on Cropatra's lips, "Xie Lin, you don't mind if I call you that? It's true that a hero comes from a boy, and you look like a talented person."

Xie Lin exclaimed in his heart, very few people would abandon etiquette and directly call others by their names. If it were another person, it would definitely be a very rude behavior.

However, I don’t know why, but when it comes from such a beautiful and well-established lady, it only makes people feel flattered. In addition, the age difference between her and Xie Lin is not too big (in the wizarding world, there is a difference of more than ten years). It’s not that big at all), calling them by name directly will create an atmosphere between siblings of the same generation, making people feel more cordial.

Xie Lin carefully worded his words: "Thank you for your compliments, Ms. Kropatra. Your grace and achievements are admirable. You are in a high position at such a young age and you are so beautiful."

Cropatra covered her mouth and chuckled, lazily raised a jade hand to gently pull the hair around her ears, and gave Xie Lin a charming look, "Oh, your mouth is so sweet. But, You should call me Sister Gulana! It’s more affectionate.”

Xie Lin called "Sister Gulana" obediently.

Cleopatra smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I believe you have read the proposal I made in the letter. Sister, I see your potential, and I would like to invite you to join the Medieval European Wizarding Federation on behalf of the Parliament, and become the youth representative of the Parliament - in short, to be our spokesperson. This spokesperson does not have many actual obligations, as long as you link all your personal achievements to the Parliament - for example, the combination of the Happy Spell and the Patronus Spell you developed, the identity of the inventor still belongs to you, but you must add the prefix of 'Youth Representative of the Medieval European Wizarding Federation' in front of your name."

"Of course, in return, the Parliament will also give you corresponding benefits - knowledge, power, wealth, status, honor, our library that has never been open to the public will be open to you personally; we will also give you convenience at the Silver Spear, so that you can come at any time Go in and participate in dueling activities; as for wealth and status, I don't think you need them for the time being; and as for honor - about this point, I have to explain that the British Ministry of Magic is secretly controlling the Daily Prophet, and we can't reach there, but - "

Cleopatra's sharp eyes sparkled, "At least 70% of the media in Europe are our industries, including the French "Stone Statue Winged Demon Newspaper", the German "Silver Bat Daily", the Nordic "Viking Daily", the gossip magazine "Confusion", the women's magazine "Witch Weekly", the curiosity magazine "Singing the Quibbler", the sports magazine "Quidditch Times", the broom guide magazine "Flying Broom Encyclopedia" and so on. You might as well imagine that these media controlled by us are standing behind you, saying good things about you, building momentum for you, and what kind of reputation they will create for you in public opinion..."

(Note: Stone Statue Winged Demon NewspaperLe Cri de la Gargouille is the author's own translation, and the full French meaning is "The Call of the Stone Winged Demon". The translation of the Stone Winged Demon in People's Publishing House is Stone Monster, which is the statue guarding the door of the principal's office)

(Note: Die Silberne Fledermaus is the author's translation, which literally means "Silver Bat")

Extracurricular knowledge: The so-called "smart drugs" in the Muggle world, such as amphetamines, Ritalin, and Vyvanse, are actually like intelligence enhancers, which can only make the mind more focused and increase "short-term memory". These drugs cannot increase a person's IQ, nor can they be used for learning, because the knowledge learned cannot be converted into "long-term memory" and can only be used to prepare for exams at best.

In contrast, Bafe Brain Awakening Agent truly permanently improves the ability of the brain in all aspects, that is, permanently improves IQ.
