Chapter 89: Nott's Gift

Schelling left the Ravenclaw chamber and returned to the Slytherin common room after a long absence.

It just so happened that my friends were all here, discussing the events of the past two weeks.

"Hi, everyone," Sherlin greeted and casually sat in the seat between Daphne and Meredith, "Has anything happened recently?"

Draco smiled and said: "What else can happen? Ever since the Dingo incident, the Gryffindor kids have all stopped and dare not come out to play. I heard that Potter seems to have lost something. The incredible item hit him hard. I wonder if it was something left to him by his Muggle relatives..."

Xie Lin naturally knew what he was referring to, and the invisibility cloak was in his hand. He smiled and said nothing, then turned to look at Blaise, "Brace, how is your mother doing? Do you still plan to pursue Hagrid?"

Blaise frowned when he heard this, "Mom said let's just forget about it... This is very strange... It's very unlike my mother's character..."

Draco interrupted: "You're right! Now the students also know that Lupin is actually a werewolf! In my opinion, if we can take this opportunity to kick the old man with the white beard away from Hogwarts, then Perfect!”

Xie Lin shook his head, "Brother, you think about things too simply. The school board is almost all Dumbledore's people, and Fudge now needs to rely on Dumbledore for many things, and he won't agree to it, but - —”

He sneered, "This is just the beginning. Because of Dumbledore's hiring of werewolves, Fudge has been questioned and criticized by the public. The relationship between him and Dumbledore has already cracked. I dare say that given Fudge a few more years, he will I dare to fall out with Dumbledore."

"Where have you been recently? I feel like you've changed a lot recently." Pansy didn't care about these things and looked at Xie Lin up and down.

"Huh? What change? I'm just the same as before, sitting in the dormitory and reading." Xie Lin said with a nonchalant smile.

"No, no, that's definitely not the reason. I feel you are more confident and more handsome." Audrey Runcorn said with her chin on her hands and staring at Xie Lin.

Daphne and Meredith snorted at the same time, and moved closer to Xuelin, as if they couldn't wait to squeeze their delicate bodies into Xuelin's body.

Xie Lingan smiled and said: "You are overthinking it. I just stayed at home for two weeks. What changes can be made?"

Xie Lin suddenly realized that after receiving the Ravenclaw inheritance, his magic level had not changed on the surface, but his knowledge level had far surpassed most wizards in the wizarding world, and he had mastered many inexplicable skills in his hands. His well-known secret skills and killer skills gave him confidence.

Even Voldemort and Dumbledore probably only have this amount of knowledge. Maybe Schelling is a little inferior due to his age, but he is no longer something he can only look up to!

What changed next was his mentality. Yes, he no longer regarded himself as an ordinary student, but took a solid step towards the road of becoming a strong man. He already had the consciousness of being a strong man. The confidence of the strong!

This confidence is directly reflected in his temperament, like a sharp blade that has just emerged!

At this time, Nott, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "Xie Lin, my father said that he wants to establish exchanges with you in alchemy and even establish a cooperative relationship in business. What do you think?"

The Nott family and the Burke family are the two major alchemy families in the UK, and they have a very deep foundation in alchemy. However, when Schelling was attacked by Gemma Farley, the Nott family chose to side with the Lestrange family, so the relationship with the Malfoy family was somewhat awkward.

Theodore Nott was born in a single-parent family. His mother died when he was very young, leaving him and his elderly father to depend on each other. This created his quiet, low-key, unsociable character. His father Nott Sr. was one of Voldemort's first followers, and he was more than ten years older than Lucius (Lucius was born in 1953, while Nott had joined the Death Eaters in 1965).

(Note: Theodore Nott’s family background is official and comes from Rowling’s manuscript)

(Note: Voldemort’s first followers were Antonin Dolohov, old Mulciber, old Rochiel, and old Nott; old Nott and Antonin are the only two remaining)

The Nott family and the Malfoy family have never had any grievances, and they have a lot of business dealings. The reason why he stood against the Lestrange family before was purely because the old Nott did not want to see the Malfoy family grow bigger.

I thought it was a good move, but I didn't expect that less than a month had passed, and various news came one after another - Schelling became the youth representative of the Medieval European Wizards' Federation, and the Merlin Jazz Order announced that it would be awarded the third level. Medal, rumors that the Ministry of Magic was even wooing him to join the Wizengamot, gaining the power to influence the hiring of teachers at Hogwarts, and even Lucius returned to the power class of Hogwarts, and invented the well-known anti-sickness bracelet. , I heard from my son that I also learned the technology of disappearing cabinet under the care of Professor Bock...

After Voldemort lost power, Old Nott was able to escape safely like the Malfoy family, the Avery family, and the Carrow family. He was obviously not a stupid person. Yes, he is planning to change sides and change sides.

Lestrange is a thing of the past. Although the Selwyn and Rowle families are not weak, they are obviously not as powerful as Malfoy at the moment! There is no need to hesitate about how to choose. Fortunately for him, his son seems to get along well with the Malfoy twins at school, which gives him a breakthrough.

Old Nott's attitude did not surprise Sherin. In fact, Sherin knew exactly what Old Nott was thinking.

Sherin said lightly: "Theo (Theodore's nickname), considering our friendship, there is no problem with communication and cooperation, but should we show some sincerity?" Sherin did not mind accepting the Nott family as an ally. After all, the Nott family's foundation is there, and their family's secret alchemy may be useful to Sherin.

But if you want to write off the previous things with just one sentence, of course it is not so easy.

(Note: Friends usually like to call each other by nicknames. For example, in the Wesley family, Ronald is called Ron, Ginevra is called Ginny, Charles is called Charlie, and William is called Bill. If William appears in fan fiction, he must not understand British culture.)

Nott was well prepared. He took out a simple black chisel and a white jade gourd with a fine jade color from his pocket.

"My father asked me to pass it to you. He said it would satisfy you. This chisel is made of black dragon crystal. After a special method, the blood of the Hebridean black dragon was poured on it for many years. It took 30 years to complete. My family has poured a lot of effort. It is said that using this chisel to engrave the ancient rune magic symbol can achieve twice the result with half the effort, which will definitely be a great help to your alchemy."

"This white jade gourd was purchased by my grandfather from a traveling merchant in the Far East. It is actually a sealer. It can seal a magical animal inside. This is not It's just a simple space magic-"

"The white jade gourd is also engraved with magic conversion magic. The person who holds the white jade gourd can use the gourd to perform the abilities of magical animals. Suppose you seal a fire dragon in it, then you can spit dragon breath from the gourd at any time; if you seal an invisible beast, you can make yourself invisible... It should be noted that once a magical animal is sealed, it cannot be released. If you want to replace the magical animal inside, you must chant a spell to kill the original sealed beast first, and then you can capture a new magical animal. "

Wow! It sounds like a good thing. Xie Lin is very satisfied and naturally refuses it. So, under the envious eyes of everyone, Xie Lin accepted the two gifts.

[The black dragon chisel is obtained! The white jade gourd is obtained!]

[The "ally" Nott family is obtained! 】

Daphne, Meredith, and Pansy were fine, as the three girls were already close to the Malfoy twins. The rest of the little snakes, such as Millicent Bulstrode, Tracy Davis, and Audrey Runcorn, could not help but show a thoughtful expression at Nott's behavior.

Millicent was born in the Holy 28 pure-blood family, but her family power was at the bottom of the list. In addition, Millicent's appearance and figure - well, how should I put it? Only suitable for professional tank drivers, so she had very little contact with Sherin of the Appearance Association in the past three semesters.

Tracy was born in a mixed-blood family, and she had always been Pansy's little follower in Slytherin, and her presence was not high. Her appearance was not bad, but in the past three semesters, no matter how she tried, she could not break through Daphne and Meredith's tight defense around Sherin.

The Runcorn family, from which Audrey came, was no small family. Although its historical background was not enough to be included in the list of the 28 holy pure-blood families, the current head of the family, Audrey's father, Albert Runcorn, was a man with great connections in the Ministry of Magic.

In the original book, after the Ministry of Magic fell under Voldemort's control, he was the one who rose to prominence the fastest. When Harry used the Polyjuice Potion to impersonate him, all his colleagues in the Ministry of Magic were very afraid of him. Even the Death Eater Coban Yaxley and the puppet Minister Pius Thicknesse were respectful to him in their words, which was rare among non-Death Eaters, showing how powerful he was.

Of course, Sherin didn't know what they were thinking, and he didn't care at all. He just wanted to go back to his dormitory and have a good sleep.

Back in the dormitory, Sherin slept soundly. He hadn't closed his eyes for two weeks...

The next day, there were still two days before summer vacation.

Schelling began to pack his luggage. He had to take the Ravenclaw books with him. He planned to finish the remaining unread books during the summer vacation. In addition, he also had to sort out the dark magic books he had obtained from the Black family's secret room and take them away.

While looking through these dark magic books, Schelling got a big surprise. He actually found "Advanced Dark Magic Revealed" written by Egbert the Egregious!

(Note: The official did not give an author to "Advanced Dark Magic Revealed". This setting was made up by the author)

This book can be said to be the beginning of Voldemort's enlightenment to make Horcruxes. It is said that there are only three copies of this book in the world, and it is also set with a ban that cannot be copied and reproduced. One of them was originally collected in the restricted book area of ​​​​the Hogwarts Library. Later, it was hidden in the principal's office by Dumbledore because of Voldemort's accident. Unexpectedly, the Black family also had one.

Schelling couldn't help but think that perhaps Sirius's younger brother Regulus Black relied on this book to guess Voldemort's biggest secret.

["The Secret of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" is obtained! ]

The book "Secrets of Advanced Black Magic" records many extremely evil taboo black magics, and Horcruxes are just one of them, and may not even be the most evil.

The first black magic introduced is the Horcrux.

At the top of the page is a portrait of a man with a hideous and distorted expression. His soul is being separated. He seems to be in great pain, but there is a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth. The book introduces the principles and production methods of Horcruxes. The content is very detailed. Not only are there test records of several different environments and objects, but also detailed notes on the details that need to be paid attention to in each step.

The first step in making a Horcrux is to split the soul, relying on killing to split the soul. Then, through a series of very complicated steps, the split soul is separated from the main soul.

According to the annotations at the bottom of the book, Schelling learned that not every murder can split the soul once.

Splitting the soul requires very strong power, and this power comes from the evil thoughts and evil thoughts in a person's heart. So it can be said that the key to success is not killing, but whether the process and means are cruel and evil enough.

This is why, with the same Killing Curse, Voldemort could create so many Horcruxes, but when Snape killed Dumbledore, there was no phenomenon of splitting the soul.

This is because Dumbledore's life was already very short at that time, and Snape's act of killing Dumbledore was not murder at all. He did not have any evil thoughts of killing in his heart, and it was more like helping the latter to be relieved.

From this point of view, the so-called Killing Curse needs to be driven by killing thoughts, which is actually just a secondary setting of many fan fiction authors in the previous life.

The first group of Voldemort's followers came from Dumbledore's memories, when they were waiting in Hogsmeade for the result of Riddle's application for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Antonin and Old Nott need to be said.

Old Mulciber is the father of Mulciber, a Death Eater of the same class as Snape and Lily in the original book. Since Rowling did not give a name, "Old Mulciber" and "Mulciber" are used to distinguish in this book.

Old Rochiel is the father of Ivan Rochiel, who died at the hands of Mad-Eye Moody.
