v4 Chapter 26: Black Panther

The first week after school starts. The little wizards ushered in their first Saturday.

Slytherin's secret room.

This secret room is different from the last time Xie Lin came. During the summer vacation, Schelling sent Dobby here for renovations.

Under the statue of Salazar Slytherin, a newly built high platform appeared. In front of the high platform was a seven-tiered red carpet paved with a red carpet, on which a solitary throne was placed.

At this moment, Xie Lin is sitting on this throne. The back of the throne is inlaid with a bead shining with a light green halo. Under the shroud of green brilliance, Xie Lin's face looks both mysterious and evil.

On the stairs, on the first floor counted from above, there are two people. Standing on the left is Daphne Greengrass, the eldest daughter of the Greengrass family; standing on the right is a fourth of Ravenclaw. Grade girl student-Murray McDouger.

At this moment, standing in front of the high platform is Dobby the house elf and a female student in the 6th grade of Slytherin. They had to raise their heads to meet Xie Lin, and they were suppressed first in their mentality and momentum.

"Master, Dobby has brought people to you." Dobby's voice is no longer frivolous, but calmer.

"Good job." Xie Lin's voice came from the high platform.

"This is what Dobby should do. Dobby doesn't dare to take credit." Dobby lowered his head and said seriously.

"Are you from the Wakanda family?" Schelling asked the female student.

The female student proudly held a full breast, and revealed the clan emblem on the robe. It was the head of a black panther with fangs and "WakandaForever" was written under it.

"I'm Narel of the Wakanda family, I'm here to greet you, Mr. Malfoy." Narel Wakanda said.

"Are you here to represent yourself or your family?"

"Narel is the only daughter of the family's direct line, and has been authorized by the family. This time, I came here with sincerity and sincerely hope to form an alliance with the noble family."

The Wakanda family is not on the list of the 28 holy pure-blood families, and the power is not too weak, probably similar to the Gore and Crab family. Mrs. Wakanda works in the Ministry of Magic and is a member of the Law Enforcement Department. Her position is not low. After Umbridge was promoted to Senior Deputy Minister two years ago, she also took over as the director of the Office of Prohibition of Abuse of Magic. Position.

(Note: Mrs. Wakanda’s department is not directly mentioned in the seventh book, but she and Mr. Wesley got on the elevator from the same floor, indicating that she belongs to the Law Enforcement Department)

This position is not very powerful, and most of its daily operations are to send warning letters to minor wizards who secretly release magic during the summer vacation.

Theoretically, this position can control and prosecute all wizards who violate the wizard secrecy laws, but adult wizards generally have a backstage at the Ministry of Magic. The various departments are protected from each other and restricted each other, resulting in a very limited space for real use.

For example, the day before school started (September 1st), it was only a few days ago. Mrs. Wakanda received a report that Mad Eye Moody violated the secrecy law and his trash can was triggered in Muggle’s sight. The movement even attracted Muggle law enforcement officers.

This was originally not a small matter, but because someone in the department whispered the news, as a result, as soon as the talents in Wakandaf had assembled, they were preempted by Arthur Wesley from the office next door, the Office of Prohibition of Muggle Abuse. Things are settled.

Arthur Wesley seems to have no desire for power on the surface, and he always stays honestly away from the center of power and no one cares about the Muggle Abuse Office. But in fact, his popularity is good, and he always spares no effort to help his colleagues around him to create an image of a good husband.

Not long ago, he helped Ludovic Bagman settle the troubles of his brother Otto Bagman, and was sent the first-class admission ticket to the World Cup. Not only did he camp in the first camp, but also Sit in the VIP seats to watch the game.

Vakandaf talent does not believe that Arthur is really as simple as it seems on the surface. He is a real honest person and good gentleman. So obviously Arthur had crossed the line on Moody's matter, and she chose to keep silent.

Although the prohibition of misuse of the Magic Office has many controls in reality, for Schelling, this is a position that he is very greedy. The person who controls this position is equivalent to controlling the map-like monitoring tool of Zongsi. At the same time From then on he was able to cast spells outside the school.

Schelling did not see the joy or anger on his face, he said: "The Wakanda family is so knowledgeable about the current affairs, I sincerely welcome you to join, but—"

Na Leier frowned and said, "But what?"

"I think there is no doubt that the Malfoy family is stronger than you. It is said to be an alliance, but in fact it is almost the same as your request to be attached to the Malfoy family -" Seeing Narel hesitated to speak, Xie Lin said in a strong voice. : "You don't need to refute, the elders behind your family must have noticed something, so they sent you. I think, this alliance, should you show more sincerity?"

"Mother has agreed, and I can cooperate with you in the Ministry of Magic to shield all the little wizards in the list of characters you listed from Zongsi's induction," Narel said, "Isn't that enough? You still want it. What sincerity?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm very satisfied with these conditions, but I personally want to add one more." Xie Lin's eyes were bright, as if a kind of strange magic directly pierced into Nariel's mind and made the latter's heart. The will is invisibly disintegrated, and the thought of resistance can no longer be lifted.

"I heard--you and Irina Selwyn in your class were good friends and sisters?" Schelling's voice sounded very gentle, but Narel felt the coldness hidden in her tone. chill.

The thing that feared the most came after all. Nariel gritted her teeth and replied: "Yes, I have known each other since childhood, and we have a good relationship." Facing the double pressure of Xie Lin's eyes and momentum, she felt in her heart. I can only say sorry to Irina.

"I think you should have guessed it too--" Schelling sneered, "Yes, that guy Lestrange is my hand... Your family is not too stupid, knowing you and the Selwyn family I’m too involved and don’t want to be the next victim in this dispute. I also know to surrender to us in advance. I advise you to put aside your personal feelings and put your family first!"

The careful thoughts behind the Wakanda family can't hide it from Schelling. They are nothing more than fear of Schelling's reputation and methods.

This is why Schelling kept trying to improve his reputation at the beginning of the game.

Prestige seems useless at ordinary times, but it can grow bigger and bigger like a snowball. When the entire wizarding world is in turmoil, no one can be alone, every power, every one unless you flee abroad. The family, and even everyone, must choose a side.

Schelling’s current momentum is booming, not only has he manipulated public opinion and successfully shaped the image of a future powerhouse, but also appropriately exposed his influence in business and politics. Just look at the well-known companies in the wizarding world. When they need financing, they will take the initiative to find Schelling; and those politicians who deliberately draw in and make friends, you can see how his momentum is.

Under the circumstances, the Selwyn family, which is blindly engaged in mysticism, lost a lot of momentum. Coupled with Schelling's radish and stick method, it is no surprise that the Wakanda family will have this choice after he regards Lestrange as the chicken that kills the chicken and the monkey.

The Wakanda family, the Knot family, and the Greengrass family are just the beginning.

When the troubled times begin, many neutral forces who are watching, testing, and waiting will definitely choose their sides. Who will they choose? Isn’t there a stronger momentum to see where? Where is the greater benefit? Once the gathered forces are large enough, it becomes the climate, and neither Dumbledore nor Voldemort can be treated lightly.

Schelling’s eyes flashed with cold light, "You’re right, I just want to deal with the Selwyn family. So I need you to be my internal correspondent to monitor all Miss Selwyn’s actions at Hogwarts for me, and then Waiting for my next instructions, do you understand?"

"Ming, I understand." It's all about it, and Nariel can't say it even if she wants to regret it.

"Remember, your performance determines the destiny of your family. Don't do stupid things that you can't regret because of your momentary softness." When Schelling said this, the chill in his tone was gone, and he said gently: "Don't forget. Now, if Irina has anything to do, her prefect position is probably yours..."

Both Schelling and Narel knew that among the Slytherin girls in the 6th grade, only Irina and Narel were the most qualified to be prefects. The others were far worse in terms of family background and strength. cut. When Nariel heard these words, her body visibly quaked, and some long-lost thoughts slowly grew in her heart.

She nodded, "I know. Then, Nariel has resigned." Dobby took Nariel's hand at Schelling's sign, and the Apparition moved away.

["Allies" Wakanda Family Acquired! 】

Xie Lin snapped his fingers, and with a crackle, a house elf appeared from the air.

"Dino, you are watching Nariel for me, I don't worry about her. If there is something wrong with her, immediately join forces with Dobby and Shining to catch her and see me." Dino took his orders and left.

There are only three people left in the secret room: Schelling, Daphne and Murray.

The three of them had their own thoughts, and for a while, the scene fell silent.

Xie Lin took the lead in breaking the silence and said: "Daphne, Murray, this is the way I want to go. The road to glory is watered by sacrifice and blood, and conspiracy and betrayal will also be along the way. The accompanying music..." At this point, Xie Lin's voice couldn't help but show a slight tremor, "If you can't accept it, I can understand..."

"Stop talking, Schelling!" It was not Daphne that was the first to interrupt, but Murray, her eyes flashed with unquestionable firmness, "Since I have decided to support you, I will definitely accompany you. Finally. Maybe these things, these struggles for power, these conspiracies and tricks make me unhappy, but I will never leave you-absolutely not!"

Daphne smiled and said: "Schelling, my entire family is focused on you. I just want to look back and it's too late-I know I can't misunderstand people, I believe my vision, and I believe you won't Let us down." She showed a mischievous expression, "I just hope you remember our good, don't increase the number of sisters for us!"

"Ah!" Schelling stammered No, it won't! I have you enough, really! "

Fortunately, this embarrassing topic was interrupted by a crackle.

is Shining, she appears in apparition, and respectfully presents today's latest "Prophet Daily" to Xie Lin. The caption on the cover reads "Puddermere United team chaser mysteriously disappeared during the game".

"Master, the result of the game this morning has come out. As you might expect, the newly recruited chaser of Puddermere United, Verda Griffith, suddenly disappeared mysteriously in the middle of the game. The captain of the Holyhead Hobbi team, Gwenog Jones, once issued a death threat to Verda because of her betrayal and leaving the team, so Gwenog has been taken into custody by the Ministry of Magic to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic to assist in the investigation. "

Verda Griffith is the big-name star that Puddermere United has dug up after Schelling's capital injection. The transfer fee alone broke the historical record of the British and Irish League, reaching as much as 1,000 gallons.

The mysterious disappearance of a player like this is bound to cost the team a lot. It seems that Philbert Devrill is troubled. Since Schelling has signed an insurance agreement, he does not need to pay for the accidents that occur to the players, and most of the losses suffered by the team will fall on Devril, who is suffering.

Another person to worry about is Hores Slahorn. His lover was taken into custody by the Ministry of Magic, and Devril, who suffered a heavy loss, would obviously not let her go easily. There would definitely be a dispute between the two sides.

Xie Lin thought for a while, and he had a plan.

He wrote two letters and sent them to Slughorn and Devril respectively, asking them to put aside the fight for a while, and let Schelling try to find the missing Verda Griffith.
