Chapter 230 The Sleeping Dragon Awakens

Schelling's words made all the young wizards fall into deep thought.

Yes, unlike most student clubs, the operation of the Sleeping Dragon Club and the core of the Sleeping Dragon Club cannot be without the soul figure of Schelling.

For example, the Gobstone Club is composed of a group of enthusiasts who love Gobstones. Everyone gathers together just to find like-minded playmates. Even if the leader of the club leaves one day, as long as the Gobstones are still there, the club will elect a new leader and continue to operate as if nothing has changed.

The Wizard Chess Club, the Crackle Explosion Card Club, the Backgammon Club, the Ten-Pin Bowling Club, the Mad Muggle Comics Club, the Chocolate Frog Picture Collection Club, etc., all these clubs are like this. To put it bluntly, those who choose to join these clubs are for the activities of the clubs, not for the leaders of the clubs.

However, among the young wizards who choose to join the Sleeping Dragon Club, how many people join for Schelling's charm and reputation? To be frank, almost all of them.

Some of them are fanatical admirers of Xie Ling, some of them become natural allies in Xie Ling's slogan because of their weak family background, and some are young wizards from powerful families. They are forced to show goodwill to Xie Ling and make friends with Xie Ling, or at least get to know him.

It is certain that if Xie Ling is gone one day, at least 80% of the members of the Sleeping Dragon Society will run away.

The young wizards looked around at each other, but they all looked at each other in bewilderment. No one dared to speak without authorization.

In the end, it was Daphne, the leader of the organization and the actual second-in-command, who spoke.

"Xie Ling, you must have an idea in your mind," Daphne stood up and said loudly, "I believe that after such a long period of running-in and development, everyone here has already developed feelings and a sense of belonging. We all believe in your judgment. If you have any ideas, just say them directly. We all listen to you."

"Yes!" A new-looking little boy in the second year of Slytherin shouted.

"We all believe in you!" said Melinda Bobin, a second-year student from Ravenclaw.

The other little wizards also began to slowly echo.

"Since you all want to listen," Xie Lin's mouth curled up slightly, revealing his signature smile, "Then I can give you a shot of prevention first. What I am going to say next will be a bit alarmist and even make people feel uncomfortable..."

"But if each of you really believes in me from the bottom of your heart, you should all know that I won't joke about this kind of thing..." Xie Lin's eyes swept around, his gray pupils gradually became sharp, and a gloomy black shadow loomed behind him.

"Based on the reliable information I have, I have every reason to believe that the person whose name cannot be said is about to come back!" The hissing sound of air conditioning sounded everywhere, and many little wizards' faces flashed with fear and uneasiness, but the rules of the Sleeping Dragon Society were very strict, and no one dared to make any noise to interrupt Xie Lin's speech or whisper at this time. Although the atmosphere seemed a little restless, the scene was still in a controllable calm.

"Time and peace are about to go away, darkness and strife are about to come..." Xie Lin chanted in a low voice like singing, "In the chaotic world accompanied by death, there is no pure land in the world, even Hogwarts will become a battlefield..." I don't know why, although this topic is very dark and heavy, it was expressed by Xie Lin in this way, but it did not cause greater fear.

"Opposing camps, conflicting interests..." Xie Lin stopped chanting, he paused, and then said seriously: "Everyone on this land, even me, can't stay out of this chaotic world. So, tell me, what is your choice?"

"Join that person's command and use force to rule this land? Or choose to stand with the so-called righteous side? Or find a place where no one is hiding? Or flee to other countries that that person can't reach?"

No one dared to answer.

Everyone held their breath and looked for the answer in each other's eyes.

Wizards from noble families, such as the Carrow sisters, are not really afraid of that man. After all, no matter how powerful that man is, he still needs people and resources under him, and the powerful pure-blood family is his base. No matter how dissatisfied he is, he will not really turn against the pure-blood family. Otherwise, he will really be a commander without troops.

But the little wizards from weak families in Slytherin College are different.

The last time Voldemort wreaked havoc, although he targeted Muggle wizards, many pure-blood and half-blood wizards were also affected in his attempt to gain power. Those who work in the Ministry of Magic live in fear every day, fearing that they will become Voldemort's target because of their work and position-

In the best case, they will be controlled by the Imperius Curse, but at least they can survive; if they are unlucky, they are often tortured by the Cruciatus Curse and their minds are eroded by black magic. It is not impossible to be sent to see Merlin directly by a killing curse.

There are also Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw wizards in the Dragon Society, some of whom are from Muggle families, which makes them even more of a target for Voldemort.

Their chances of even choosing to join Voldemort are almost zero.

Hide somewhere where no one is around? This is a bit self-deceptive. Great Britain is such a small land that it is not practical to isolate yourself from the world. What needs to be explained here is that it is not difficult to hide from Voldemort alone. Voldemort does not have the leisure to pull out those obscure and unimportant extras from hiding one by one.

The real biggest problem is that when Voldemort comes to power, the Death Eaters who are attached to him will inevitably launch a new wave of plunder. When these people see wizards, they will pounce on them like hyenas see prey and bite off a piece of meat. They will not care whether you are pure-blood, half-blood, traitor, or Muggle, as long as you have "meat" on you. This is just like the doomsday movies that Schelling has seen in his previous life. When morality and law lose their binding force, the sinister nature of human nature will be revealed without limit.

Escape abroad? It sounds feasible. Just last month, on March 26, to be exact, the Muggle governments began to implement the Schengen Agreement, and the Schengen Area was established. Border controls between Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg were officially abolished, greatly facilitating the mobility of wizards.

But where to escape to? Last time, although Voldemort's activities were apparently limited to Great Britain, it was because he was firmly restrained by Dumbledore. Even so, he still launched sporadic activities in the Slavic region of Eastern Europe, and his notorious subordinate Antonin Dolohov was recruited from there.

(Author's complaint: Many fans say that Voldemort's sphere of influence is limited to Britain, but no author has ever explained where Dolohov and Karkaroff came from. How could Voldemort not have power outside Britain? At most, it is not strong.)

It is certain that in other territories controlled by the Ministry of Magic, as long as there are classes, high-ranking pure-blood families, and supporters of the theory of bloodline, there must be supporters of Voldemort in that place. They are just waiting for Voldemort to unify Great Britain and then extend his claws out.

Schelling asked everyone to think quietly for a while.

Then, he spoke.

"Now, as the leader of the Sleeping Dragon Society, as your leader," Xie Lin raised his right hand high, "I can give all of you a chance to choose-"

"In this chaotic world, the man whose name cannot be said will start a war..." Xie Lin's eyes were bright, and he said in a deep voice: "He will bring chaos, disorder and terror to this world. Disorder is the most terrible... Because everyone is no longer safe when they go out, even if they hide at home, they may not be safe..."

"People with evil intentions will take advantage of the fire and fish in troubled waters in the chaos. The darkest side of human nature will be bloody exposed..." Xie Lin changed the subject, "So, we need to have the ability to protect ourselves. If one person's strength is not enough, then find a group of people to stick together and protect each other-"

"The Sleeping Dragon Society was established for this moment," Xie Lin looked at everyone's face with a sharp look Scanning upwards, the young wizards present all had a strange feeling that Xie Ling was looking at them alone. "Like I said, the Sleeping Dragon Society is actually a family. Here everyone is a brother or sister, and I--"

"As one of you, I am no exception." Xie Ling said lightly: "I will be with you, whether there is hell or fire ahead..."

"Now I need you to ask yourself--" Xie Ling paused and said the key point of today: "Troubled times are opportunities. The Sleeping Dragon is about to wake up. Are you willing to follow me, work with me to overcome this difficulty, and create a future with me!"

As soon as the voice fell, the black shadow behind Xie Ling swelled wildly with a bang. It looked like a king cobra that was even bigger than a basilisk, more than 60 feet long. The blurred outline seemed to be hidden in the mist, making it difficult to see clearly, revealing only two snake eyes flashing with terrible red light. At the same time, Xie Ling's pupils also stood up into snake pupils, flashing dazzling red light. He launched the secret inherited from Slytherin for the first time--

Absolute Domination!
