Chapter 38 The 5-Spice Vinegar Was Spilled

In the Hogwarts auditorium, Tom and Elena were sitting together eating lunch. Tom frowned slightly as he watched the people coming and going in the auditorium.

"There seem to be more and more people there lately, and we have to fight for a seat at lunch!" Tom curled his lips and chatted with Elena about something while flipping through the potions book on his hand.

Elena also held a nearly thousand-page "Detailed Explanation of Magic Patterns" while stuffing things into her mouth and reading the book with relish. After hearing Tom's words, Elena raised her head and looked at the people in the auditorium and explained: "Two more groups of students from the other two major schools have arrived, so there are more people! In fact, it's okay now. When school starts, there will be more people. By then, it is estimated that the school will arrange to enter the auditorium in batches to eat, or use the extension spell to extend the auditorium space."

"Two more batches came. When did they happen?" Tom asked.

Recently, Tom has been busy dealing with the Rose Moon and Ghoul Brotherhood societies. In addition to holding meetings, he is recruiting new members.

It must be said that Tom is a natural leader. In just a few days, Tom expanded the number of the Ghoul Brotherhood under him by two or three times.

Originally, the Ghoul Brotherhood was a secret society, but in Tom's opinion, the so-called secret society in the school was not conducive to the development and growth of the society, so he found another way and started a strategy of casting a wide net, and began to attract some people with good magical talents and ambitions. Students enter the club.

Coupled with Tom's personal charm and strength far beyond his peers, he actually managed to capture these new members in a short period of time. What's more, all of them admired Tom extremely. The entire Ghoul Brotherhood was filled with resentment. Tom's cult of personality.

Of course, others don't know why these people admire Tom, but Elena knows it very well.

Tom looks like a good boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but in fact he has been too close to Qin Weijie over the years, and his heart has become dirty.

Since awakening the power of death, Tom's already powerful Legilimency talent has also made great progress. Sometimes even Tom himself is not aware of it, and there is always a surge of magic in him unconsciously.

The surge of magic power drives the magic effect to subtly release magic similar to Legilimency. In addition, Tom's grasp of people's hearts has reached an outrageous level, and he can always affect the people around him inadvertently.

With the blessing of magical effects and his own personal charm, Tom easily gathered a group of fanatical followers.

Elena also discovered the magical effect on Tom after observing for a long time. When Elena informed Tom of her discovery, both of them were shocked. Tom even wondered whether this uncontrolled surge of magic could be... A precursor to 'alienation'.

Tom was panicked for a moment. If Qin Weijie hadn't blessed Tom with several mysterious talismans before leaving, Tom would have been worried that he had been bewitched by the 'taboo' without knowing it.

Afterwards, Tom also informed Qin Weijie of the matter through mirror magic. After repeated confirmations by Qin Weijie and Elena, they determined that the surge of magic power in Tom's body should be the awakening of an innate ability similar to the 'spiritual inheritance'. There is no risk of 'alienation'.

With the confirmation of his two friends, Tom felt relieved. After that, he also deliberately observed and practiced his talent. In just two weeks, Tom could already control this power.

It was precisely with the blessing of this power that Tom allowed the Ghoul Brotherhood to expand rapidly, just in time to catch up with the merger of the three schools. Tom's absorption of Ghoul Brotherhood members was not limited to Hogwart. Nowadays, many students from the other two major schools have also been recruited.

Tom's unscrupulous expansion and absorption made Elena a little worried, but Elena couldn't say much. She only reminded Tom occasionally. It's a pity that Tom didn't take Elena's warning to heart at all and still went his own way. .

Tom has his own considerations. On the surface, Rose Moon and the Ghoul Brotherhood are two societies, but in fact, secretly, the two societies have already merged. This is a merger of societies with Qin Weijie as the core, but after the merger, the two societies are still the same. There are priorities.

The members of Rose Moon are powerful and have a good relationship with Qin Weijie. This leads to the fact that after the merger of the society, Rose Moon is basically the main group, and the actual say is mostly in the hands of the members of Rose Moon.

Especially Minsk, as the vice president of Rose Moon, Minsk can be said to have all the power when forming the force, which makes Tom very unhappy.

Tom is so anxious to expand the Ghoul Brotherhood largely because Minsk is the only place in the world. In order to prevent Minsk from usurping power, Tom can only accumulate his own team for himself and Vijay as soon as possible.

Only by controlling a large number of people can one have a certain right to speak, stand firm in the Rose Moon, compete with Minsk, and win the right to speak for Vijay.

Of course, all of the above are Tom's prejudices against Minsk. Minsk himself may not have any intention of usurping power, but Minsk's paranoid character and the things he does seem to be trying to ignore Qin Weijie. This makes Tom was extremely dissatisfied.

Despite his young age, Tom has profound knowledge and foresight. Although Vijay has explained to him many times that Minsk is only for better management of the society, Tom has his own thoughts.

At present, Minsk may indeed be just as Qin Weijie said, just to better play the role of personnel, but people will change. No one knows whether Minsk will have the intention to usurp power after being in the power center for a long time. People's hearts are complicated and changeable. Maybe there is no intention to seize power at the moment, but what about the future?

Let's take a step back and say that even if Minsk does not have the intention to seize power, when his achievements surpass his master, will his subordinates drag him to a further step? Tom has known Qin Weijie for so many years, and he has also learned a lot of Chinese history from Qin Weijie. Among them, what impressed Tom the most was "Chenqiao Mutiny, Yellow Robe", "Holding the Emperor to Command the Princes", and "Three Horses Eating Cao" and so on...

These are all naked lessons, so in Tom's view, Minsk must be guarded, but at the moment he can't really tear his face, he can only contain it in a roundabout way, so Tom has recently focused on scheming and accumulating a team for himself and Weijie.

If Qin Weijie knew what Tom was thinking, he would probably smile bitterly, and even complain with a bitter smile: "It turns out that Voldemort gathered his followers in school when he was young, and it was because of me, his good friend..."

"I have been busy with club affairs recently, and I don't know why two more groups of students came... Isn't it a holiday now, why are you here so early?" Tom put away his thoughts and turned to Elena to explain.

Elena glanced at the crowd and said: "There are more people coming this time, almost nearly 500 people. Due to the continuous war in Europe, many parents of students sent their children to Hogwarts in advance, so many people have come before school starts."

"That's the principle. It seems that the war situation in Europe is really tense..." Tom sighed.

Just at this moment, Tom suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder. Tom turned back abruptly with a little displeasure, and saw a sweet and fair-looking girl tilting her head and looking at him with a smile.

The girl had long light blue hair, two sweet dimples on her face, amber eyes flashing with a lively brilliance, skin as white as snow, slender arms, and was about the same age and height as Tom. She was a beauty no matter how you looked at her.

Tom's eyes were full of surprise, and then turned into surprise: "Carliss!? You are also in Hogwarts!?"

"Hehe, yes! I have been here for two or three days, and I have been looking for you... But I miss you perfectly every time." Carliss pouted her lips and said coquettishly, her natural charm made the boys eating around look like pigs, and even Tom was smiling foolishly at this time, just like a 1.6-meter-tall fool.

"Carliss?" Elena looked at Tom with a bad face: "You seem to know each other very well, won't you introduce me to her?"

For some reason, a sour smell came from the whole auditorium, maybe someone's five-spice vinegar was spilled.
