Chapter 2: Eye of Magic

As a traverser familiar with the plot, Schelling clearly knew that Voldemort had only briefly disappeared in front of the scene at this time, but his remnant soul was still hiding in a forest in Albania, waiting for the chance to make a living. Lucius’s wise protection at the moment is tantamount to Voldemort, and Schelling also knew that in the near future, Lucius would do a stupid thing, and because of this, Voldemort would lose a Horcrux. As a result, after Voldemort’s resurrection, Lucius not only lost his position among the Death Eaters, but even the whole family was severely punished by Voldemort because of this-Malfoy Manor was requisitioned, Lucius’ wand was requisitioned, Ko was assigned a mission to die...Even after Voldemort fell again in the original plot, Lucius was sent to Azkaban Prison. The Malfoy family has since been ruined and irreparably weakened, and has since been devastated.

Well, if you come, you will be at ease. Anyway, he is a traverser who is familiar with the plot, maybe he can change the fate of the family, Xie Lin thought optimistically.

It is rare to be able to live again, Xie Lin does not intend to follow the direction of the original plot and let his future be constrained by an invisible fate like this. What Schelling brought over from the previous life was not only the mature soul of an adult, but also the adventurer spirit that was burning in the blood of the previous life! To be able to live a lifetime again, even if you can’t dominate as the protagonist of many arrogant transcendence novels, but at least a stable and worry-free life, freedom without work, wealth enough to enjoy leisurely, and dignity without looking at human faces are the minimum, if It would be better to have two or three girlfriends. Now that destiny has allowed himself to be reborn in the Malfoy family, one more thing may be added-he also wants to try to change the family's destiny, protect the family's glory, and even bring the family to the next level.

Tell me about life in Malfoy Manor.

The exterior of Malfoy Manor is luxurious and grand and it occupies a very large area, but inside it is empty and only a few people live. In addition to himself and his father Lucius, there are also mother Narcissa, brother Draco, butler Kakaro, and a lowly domestic elf Dobby. Of course, the Malfoy family also has some collateral tribesmen, but these people are generally responsible for the family’s business on farms or mines, and only appear in the manor on festivals or when the family senator meeting is held. So these Although Xie Lin has met several times, he is not very familiar with it, so I won't mention it here.

As Xie Lin grows up, Xie Lin feels that he is completely integrated into this world. There are family affections he didn't have before, and he cherishes everything here. Narcissa, who is quite doting on herself and Draco; Draco, who loves to show off and is proud; Lucius who cares about his family but always maintains a cold expression. But Draco took this set, admiring his father's behavior, always trying to show the nobility of pure blood. These all made him feel close from the bottom of his heart.

The butler Kakaro is a capable middle-aged man, a capable man of his father, but Schelling doesn't like him. He is very paranoid about the tedious family rules and etiquette, and often reprimands Schelling for trivial matters. On the other hand, Draco was quite the opposite. He was very much loved and valued by Kakaro, because Draco inherited the arrogant and hypocritical spirit of the Malfoy family. He always combed his hair with meticulous care and even spoke. The nostrils are upside-down, and every sentence is slow to act.

Dobby the house elf has the best relationship with Schelling. Whenever Schelling made a mistake—such as accidentally destroying some precious items in the manor, Dobby would always try to help Schelling cover it, and escape the punishment of the **** Kakaro, whenever Schelling was hungry in the dead of night. At that time, Dobby would secretly deliver food to Schelling. Of course, Schelling is also very good to Dobby. When Schelling gets something new and delicious from Narcissa, Schelling secretly keeps a portion and waits for Dobby to come to his room at night to sit alone. Share together and feel the joy of sneaking snacks together.

As one of the 28 pure-blood families of the sacred, the Malfoy family is extremely paranoid about the concept of "pure-blood supremacy". It can even be said to be arrogant and domineering. As a traversing modern person, Schelling has deep in his bones the idea that everyone is equal, and has an irreconcilable and direct conflict with the family's core concept of "pure blood supremacy". Schelling had shown a little bit of harassment when he was a child. Lucius was denounced for Gua's friendly behavior. But Schelling didn’t take this to heart, and still went his own way, just to avoid stimulating Lucius’s nerves and had to reduce contact with Muggles, at least on the surface, when Lucius couldn’t see, Schelling He still likes to go to the Muggle world to try and use Muggle things. He even plays with Dobby the house elf.

As for Narcissa, although she is also a stubborn pure-blooded supporter, she has nothing to do with her son because of her spoiling. On the contrary, she thinks that her younger son has his own opinion, but now he is young and does not know the world. Also because of her maintenance and perseverance, Lucius didn’t say anything to Schelling. According to his character, he must always scold Schelling, brainwash Schelling more, and try to get deep in Schelling’s mind. Deeply implant the concept of pure blood supremacy.

Of course, there is another reason why Schelling can still live comfortably, leisurely and moisturized in such a pure-blooded family. Schelling is a genius. He has shown amazing language talent since he was one year old, and he can learn languages ​​much faster than his brother Draco. And Schelling’s genius is not limited to language ability. He showed extraordinary learning talent when he was four years old. Lucius bought a variety of text writing enlightenment books and digital calculation enlightenment books specially for his son. Thank you. Lin has all kinds of teaching skills, and can even learn by himself without a teacher-of course, this is actually because Xie Lin still inherits the memory of his previous life.

Xie Lin feels very embarrassed for his genius title in private, and the learning content is simply boring to him. Not to mention these simple enlightenment content for young children. In his previous life, he was an out-and-out academic bully. He was ranked first in the country in the A-level national examination in the United Kingdom, and then received a scholarship to enter the University of Cambridge for further study. With excellent grades, he received a double doctorate degree in archaeology and ancient anthropological linguistics, and he was proficient in English, French, Spanish and other Latin languages. After the rebirth journey, it seems that because of re-experiencing brain development, he found that his memory and comprehension were even stronger than in his previous life. No matter what he read, he can remember everything, no matter what he learns, he can quickly understand and get started, Xie Lin Can’t help sighing, “Isn’t it a kind of golden finger if I’m not forgetting my eyes, and I’ve heard a thousand enlightenment? Is this the benefit of crossing?”

When he was 4 years old, Schelling successfully caused a magical riot and stunned the old butler of Kakaro who was constantly teaching him with a powerful mind. He was confirmed to have the potential to become a wizard. He could have his own magic wand when he was only 11 years old, and he had the qualifications to enroll in a magic school to systematically learn how to become a wizard. I have to say that Xie Lin is really relieved about this. After all, he has never appeared in the original book. He is not sure whether he must have the potential to learn magic, and he knows that the wizarding world cannot learn magic for this kind of— The people commonly known as "Squib" (Squib) are so severely discriminatory that he can't imagine that he will end up as a Squib.

On the day of the magical riot in Schelling, Narcissa was so excited that she hugged and kissed Schelling. Lucius still had such a cold expression as it should be, but what about his slightly raised mouth? Can't conceal the joy overflowing in his heart. Draco watched all this, only envious. As for the stunned butler, after being sent into the room by the elf, no one paid any attention.

Lucius and Narcissa prepared a simple celebration for Schelling, but Schelling cared more about his own eyes than the cakes and desserts in the celebration. Xie Lin found that when he was looking at his family, they were covered with a faint white light. Xie Lin once thought that there was a problem with his eyes, but after several attempts, Xie Lin found out the cause-he found that his eyes only showed white light when looking at wizards, magical creatures, or magical objects. If you look closely, The white light is like a stream, flowing slowly over the wizard or magical object following a strange pattern.

Schelling suspected that the so-called white light was actually the magical power in the legend. This speculation was confirmed by Schelling in a family document not long after.

In the Middle Ages, the concept of "pure blood supremacy" was deeply ingrained in the wizarding world, and it does have a certain truth. At that time, the number of wizards was sparse, and they were often persecuted by ignorant Muggles. The pure-blood wizards led by Salazar Slytherin used the protection of pure-blood wizards as a slogan to unify the power of the wizarding world. The inheritance of the wizard protected in the persecution. Later, the great Slytherin and his three partners founded Hogwarts, one of the greatest magic schools in the world, and opened up to the vast community of wizards to teach all kinds of magic knowledge for generations. This is not to mention. At that time, the bloodline of the pure-blood family was very pure, and the bloodline also carried the mysterious power that was the origin of magic. In order to ensure the inheritance of the bloodline power, it was necessary to rely on intermarriage of close relatives to ensure the purity of the bloodline.

It’s a pity that in those turbulent times, every Muggle witch hunt will bring about a rapid reduction in the wizard population, and even the demise of some well-known wizard families. Relying on the means of intermarriage of the same race has become more and more impractical. The wizard families began their cross-family marriages. Although they still wore the title of "pure-blooded family", in fact, under the continuous dilution of the blood line from generation to generation, the blood line power has long since disappeared, and it has become an ancient legend passed down by the family. The so-called pure-blood families in modern times, and the pure-blood families in the Middle Ages, have actually withdrawn from the south to the north.

In the original book, there are only a few people who have awakened the power of blood. In Schelling’s memory, there are only the snake-speaking Voldemort, the Tonks who is naturally susceptible to Magnus, and Trelaw, who has a thin line of prophet but has been pretending to be a ghost. Professor Ni. Harry Potter's snake language talent was passively acquired because of his attachment to Voldemort's soul fragments, and was not a natural blood force.

As one of the oldest families inherited from the Middle Ages, the bloodline of the Malfoy family also contains mysterious powers. However, according to the historical documents of the family, the Malfoy family has never had a precedent for awakening blood power since the seventh generation descendant-Almander II Malfoy, so Schelling is different. The magic riot phenomenon of ordinary people did not attract the attention of Lucius and Narcissa. For unknown reasons, Schelling was lucky enough to awaken the bloodline power of the Malfoy family. This bloodline power is called the "Eye of Magic" in family records, and can see through the flow of magic power in himself and others with the naked eye. There are records in the family history that Almander II Malfoy once used his special ability to communicate with magic, creating an exclusive magical meaning, and writing a glorious page in the history of the Malfoy family. It is a pity that the record of this legendary Malfoy wizard has only a few words for unknown reasons and is very vague.

The fact that Xie Lin awakens the "Eye of Magic" is a little secret that belongs to Xie Lin alone. It's not that Schelling doesn't trust his relatives, but Schelling, an adult soul, knows the importance of low-key life and assassin. This special ability may come in handy in some unexpected situations.

Through the eye of magic, Schelling can observe the magic value of everyone in the range of sight. As we all know, a great part of the power of a wizard depends on the magic power he possesses. The most obvious example is in the original book, Fake Crazy Eye Moody said when uploading the killing curse in the classroom, the killing curse is a very expensive curse. If you use the poor magic power of the students to use it, at most It can only make him bleed. Xie Lin quietly observed everyone in the family. Lucius' magic power was mixed with weird gray and black. The total amount of magic power was quite strong in the family, but because Xie Lin lacked comparison with outside wizards, the exact strength was temporarily difficult to estimate. As for the mother Narcissa and the butler Kakaro, the magic in the soul is very lackluster.
