Chapter 233 Dragons Are Divided Into Five Groups
While everyone was in high spirits, Xie Lin announced his plan for the Sleeping Dragon Club.
The Sleeping Dragon Club was divided into five groups, which could help each other and complement each other while operating independently.
The first group was the combat group, also known as the "Dragon Head".
Daphne was given the responsibility of the leader of this group. Most of the members of this group were students in the fourth grade or above. They would be responsible for the frontal combat of the organization, so they had to focus on learning practical skills and offensive evil spells on weekdays.
Although Daphne was only a fourth-grade student, she mastered all of Xie Lin's unique spellcasting skills, including two-handed spellcasting and curved shooting, and under Xie Lin's deliberate training, she had practical experience far beyond that of senior students. Her only shortcoming was that her magic power level was not as good as that of students in the sixth and seventh grades due to her age, but all this was no longer a problem after she took the magic blood potion.
Whether it was her strength or her prominent family background, she was convincing as a team leader. Daphne would be responsible for conducting practical training for her team members every week. Later, Xie Lin also planned to let Sharf use human body transformation to become a student, infiltrate the organization, become the shadow leader of this group, complement Daphne, or secretly assist Daphne.
Sharf is stronger than Daphne, and is proficient in the long-lost snake language magic. Her comprehensive combat ability is comparable to that of the top Aurors. If she cooperates with Daphne, the members of the combat team will definitely not cause any trouble. Of course, Xie Lin privately hopes that the two women can take this opportunity to cultivate feelings and tacit understanding.
The second group is the surprise attack group, also known as the "Dragon Wing".
Luna will serve as the leader of this group. The members of this group are composed of students who are good at magical zoology and herbology. They will mainly fight at a long distance and assist the combat team members from the side. Therefore, they will be responsible for cultivating magical animals and plants that can be used on the battlefield in the suitcase space on a daily basis, such as Devil's Snare, Mandrake, Poison Tentacles, Pimple Vine, etc.
Although Luna is only a third-year student, she is the top student among the third-year students, better than Ginny Weasley of the same period, and she is also good at knowledge of various exotic flowers and magical animals. After showing the skills of using the pods of the knot vine in actual combat, she easily convinced everyone's doubts about her.
Of course, at this time, everyone didn't know that Luna herself had the blood talent of "Son of Nature" and had also obtained the inheritance of the insect manipulator. All she needed was more time to get familiar with the new power.
The third group is the logistics group, also known as "Dragon Tail".
Astoria was entrusted with an important task. The members of this group are composed of students who are good at healing magic and potions. This group does not participate in combat at all, but their importance is not low at all. They are usually responsible for refining potions in a secret classroom arranged for them by Professor Snape.
As we all know, although potions are extremely magical and much more advanced than the drugs in the Muggle world, they have a big drawback. That is, it cannot be produced on an assembly line, and it takes a long time to make potions. For example, Polyjuice Potion takes two months, Truth Serum takes at least one month, and Felix Felicis takes at least six months to make. Therefore, the logistics team has a very important responsibility. They will be responsible for ensuring the inventory and supply of various potions.
Since Astoria's daily personality is a well-behaved and cute little girl, Sherin is worried that her majesty is not enough to convince the public, and he specially appointed the Carol sisters, Joanna Devonte and Melinda Bobin as deputy team leaders to assist her in coordinating the operation of the team.
Although the Carol sisters are not very old, their wands come from the same source. If they work together to cast spells, their power can almost match that of adult wizards. Joanna is a descendant of Principal Devonte and is proficient in many family secret healing magics. Melinda comes from a family that owns thirteen chain drugstores and is proficient in potion science and various unpopular potion formulas.
These four people have their own strengths. If they can ensure their loyalty, it should be foolproof for them to assist Astoria. As for how to ensure loyalty, Xie Lin has his own methods, so there is no need to waste words and ink here.
(Note: The time for refining the truth serum is a full moon cycle. If a full moon does not appear due to weather reasons, it will fail and have to start over.)
The fourth group is the research group, also known as the "Dragon Soul".
Morry will serve as the leader of this group, and Zhang Qiu will serve as the deputy leader of this group. This group does not have dedicated members, but academic elites are selected from the previous three groups to serve concurrently. The members are responsible for researching magic theory, developing advanced applications of spells, and improving the formula of potions. After the members have accumulated enough experience, they can even invent dangerous new spells and new potions.
Members of this group also have access to the shared library and can freely browse the collection of the Sleeping Dragon Society, so the conditions are very attractive. Of course, Xie Lin also set very strict standards for entering this group. If you want to enter the fourth group, you must work very hard to improve your academic ability.
Murray is very good at spells, and she has an extraordinary fit with elemental magic; Zhang Qiu is very good at transfiguration, and has begun to practice the family's secret paper transfiguration. Xie Lin is very confident that the two of them can do things.
The fifth group is the intelligence group, also known as "Dragon Eye".
The leader of the group is Susan. This group is responsible for hiding behind the scenes, analyzing and compiling the intelligence collected by the house elves from all over Europe.
As time went on, Schelling's intelligence network layout was slowly spread out. He had already planted the Miracle Alchemy Shop in Hogsmeade Village and the Malfoy Armor Shop in Diagon Alley. The two most densely populated commercial areas in Great Britain were thus covered by his intelligence network.
In addition, in Great Britain, he also had pure-blood families such as Greengrass, Nott, Vankanda, Runcorn, etc. as allies, and they also had their own intelligence networks. With Fudge's deliberate indulgence and Amelia Bones' full help, the British Ministry of Magic had long been infiltrated by him like a sieve, and almost every important department was planted with Schelling's eyes.
In the business world, Ali Bashir had a wide range of friends, and he had to face many business elites every day. The intelligence from these people was like the heavyweight stock market insider information in the Muggle world, which was very important. In the sports and entertainment circles, Horace Slughorn's Slug Club and Filbert Deverill's Puddlemere United also spread a large network and tried their best to collect useful information for Schelling.
In addition to human wizards, large-scale personnel movements and even subtle resource mobilizations of various alien races could not be hidden from Schelling's eyes and ears. The werewolf tribe headed by Greyback had been severely damaged by Schelling. After the prevalence of the human form restoration spell, many werewolves knew that their own defects could be overcome, and they began to want to get rid of Greyback's control and no longer follow him to commit crimes.
As for goblins, ogres, dwarfs, and trolls, they are all under the manual monitoring of Schelling's alien allies, the six tribes of female nightshas and the vampire royal family. Although it is unlikely that they will suddenly appear and cause trouble in violation of the original trajectory, the meticulous Schelling will not take it lightly. Only by arranging all forces properly and taking care of everything can a qualified contender have the cultivation that he should have.
Schelling also has allies and forces in foreign countries.
The Hohenheim family in Germany and Switzerland has received Eleanor's notice and is mobilizing all the forces of the family to operate at full capacity, continuously delivering intelligence to Schelling's forces. In France, the "Veela network" centered on the Delacour family has also been convinced by Schelling's performance. All families who have married Veela wives, like the Hohenheim family, have continuously delivered all the big and small things in every corner of France to Schelling's forces in a confidential manner.
At the same time, Schelling has also established a relationship with the Vongola family in Italy. In the next semester, the next generation heir of the Vongola family, Suthers Vongola, will transfer to Hogwarts in the name of training to cooperate with Schelling's actions.
Not to mention that the Medieval Wizards' Union, which has been gaining momentum in recent years, has the best eyes and ears of the media they have planted in various countries. As Schelling's status in the international community grew, the Medieval Wizard Union also seized this golden opportunity and grew rapidly, extending its influence to more countries, regions and corners in Europe.
These families and organizations in various parts of Europe, these contacts and spies in various industries and corners of Great Britain, are all connected by the "House Elf Runners" led by Dobby.
In the next semester, the seventh-grade students headed by Gulli Peasegood and Vinia Piersworth will graduate, and then they will become Schelling's new eyes and ears, infiltrating various political and business organizations in Great Britain.
It can be seen that the responsibility of the intelligence team is not light. They almost receive millions of pieces of information every day, and decrypt, analyze, organize and arrange them before integrating them into truly useful content to present to Schelling.
Under Schelling's prominent reputation and personal charm, the plan of grouping was implemented without any resistance.
From this point of view, the Sleeping Dragon Society is many times stronger than Harry Potter's Dumbledore's Army in the original book.
Harry's organization is loosely disciplined. There is not only a weak-willed traitor, Marietta Edgecombe, but also a thorn who questions the leader, Zacharias Smith. Not to mention that the entire organization does not even have a clear purpose as a cohesive force, nor a hierarchical organizational structure. Everyone just gets together to practice some spells.
I talked to a reader yesterday, and it seems that the biggest problem with this book is that this chapter is not enough to stimulate the reader's desire for the original version, so I'm asking for comments here~~~ Thank you all in advance.
