Although Daphne was still behind the group of "merfolk" and was still in a comatose state that could not resist, Xie Lin didn't worry about her at all.
Dumbledore must have thought about the safety of these hostages. After all, the mermaid is not a loyal comrade-in-arms of the wizard, and it is difficult to guarantee whether there are still hidden creatures at the bottom of this vast black lake that have not been discovered. Therefore, Schelling can be sure that Dumbledore must have personally used protective measures on these hostages to prevent them from being harmed in the lethargy.
In addition, don’t forget the five protective bracelets that Daphne wears. These are all Schelling’s painstaking masterpieces, all of which can be independently activated when the wearer is in crisis. Take "Guardian of the Gods" as an example. Right—unless it is an elite Auror who uses a powerful magic similar to a life spell, it is possible to penetrate it all at once.
With Dumbledore's protective magic and the back hand that Schelling left her, it is enough to ensure her life.
So, what Schelling needs to worry about is actually only himself.
But, is he worried?
The seven merfolk swung their long silver tails instantly, surrounding Xie Lin's left and right sides, and the expression on the mermaid leader's face gradually became hideous.
"I know I can't hide it from you, Mr. Malfoy." The mermaid leader's face gradually faded, and slowly changed to the appearance of Kata Lin, but apart from the face, whether it was the green hair of the mermaid or the fish Xing's lower body has not changed. Katalyn showed a sweet smile like a girl, "I know it's a trap but I forcibly break in, I really have to admire your courage..."
Xie Lin looked at her with interest, this is not the effect that can be achieved by body transformation or compound decoction. Among the known magic, the magic that can change the voice of a wizard into a magical creature is a taboo area. For example, if Animagus becomes a magical creature, it will pay the price of being cursed by the soul; another example is the beastization in the bloodline curse. Transfiguration will one day lose the ability to transform back into a human form; with one exception—
Schelling’s original "Kansha Magus"!
However, the practice of Kanazawa Magus has a very high threshold, and before Schelling, there has been no record of anyone using this magic for more than a thousand years. Schelling himself would not pass this original magic to the outside world.
So, this is definitely not a transformation technique!
As for illusion, it’s even more impossible, because illusion can’t fool Schelling’s eyes of magic power. The mermaid aura that these people exude is genuine. Schelling has a feeling that they are in this state of being in the water. Its combat power is likely to surge several times or more, which is not much different from its own "amphibious deformation" deformation.
In just an instant, Schelling's mind had already considered and eliminated countless possibilities.
Xie Lin thought about it, but could only think of one possibility—
He cast his eyes on the other mermaid behind Katalin.
At this time, the other seven human fish also changed their faces one by one, revealing faces that Schelling was familiar with—Eleanor von Hohenheim, Hector Foley, 7th grade Slytherin girl Prefect Lucida Slahorn, Irina Selwyn, Miles Blake, the long-lost Gallup Lestrange...there is one last person—
Draco Malfoy.
Well, almost all of them match the list in Xie Lin's mind.
Even Draco's sudden appearance could not make Schelling's heart calm, even the slightest ripple.
Instead of looking at Draco, he cast his eyes on Eleanor.
This is not a transformation technique, nor an illusion technique, but—alchemy!
The human body is made!
is really big! All eight of them must have worn some kind of legendary magical artifact refined with advanced alchemy, and even Schelling could speculate that this magical artifact was specially used to refine a different kind of human body, and it is very likely that it is not a right way. . From Schelling's understanding of the Hornheim family, it is more likely that this alchemy involves dark sacrifice magic.
So when the mermaids saw the wizard, they showed such a scared expression.
Schelling's conclusion is that this magical artifact that can transform into a mermaid will most likely require sacrifice to the flesh and soul of the mermaid!
It is not difficult to imagine the whole incident.
Just last night, six little wizards escaped the surveillance of the Triwizard Tournament staff by unknown means and hid in the bottom of the lake. Since Slytherin's dormitories are all single rooms, and there are no classes at Hogwarts today, it is almost difficult to be noticed.
These six little wizards spent the whole night controlling all the underwater creatures they could find with a spell similar to Imperius, and ordered them to search for Schelling to attack. Then, as soon as the other two female warriors entered the bottom of the lake this morning, they immediately joined them and brought a massacre to the mermaids, sacrificed their flesh and blood souls, activated the transfiguration artifact, and then became a mermaid here. Sit back and wait for the rabbit.
Schelling is very sure, his guess is close to the truth.
Schelling’s eyes are piercing, and only people who are familiar with him, such as Draco, can clearly see the cold flames flashing under his eyes, which is the intent to fight.
He hasn't experienced this kind of feeling for too long-the magic suddenly seems to come back to life, happily running in his body, and he can even hear the joy hidden in the fluctuations of the magic. At this moment, his spirit reached a bizarre balance. The eager and vigorous fighting spirit and the clean ice-like calm coexist in the body, giving him a burst of comfort that he had never had before.
These changes are actually faintly reflected in his exposed temperament.
None of the wizards on the opposite side was a mediocre generation. They all noticed Xie Lin’s changes in an instant—the last second was clearly a gentle, gentle and jade-like prince in the sea, the next second suddenly became a killing decision. The overlord of the sea who ignores life and kills life and death, at this moment, no matter who it is, he can't control himself and cast a shadow in his heart.
Gallup, who had suffered a great loss from Schelling, originally planned to retaliate against Schelling's original grudges. At this moment, for some reason, he has dispelled that idea, and at the same time an extremely absurd idea emerged in his mind. , They obviously have eight people, so many people, why do they feel like they are surrounded by the other side alone?
"It seems—" Xie Lin showed a harmless smile and said: "You and Eleanor are here to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. They are not here to win the championship. Your goal is from the beginning, is it me?"
Seeing that the other party didn’t mean to answer at all, Xie Lin had to ask and answer: “Then I’m curious. I’m just a 4th grade wizard, and I’m a bit famous at best. What do you want from me?”
"When I was in the second grade, I did and—" Schelling glanced over Irina, Miles, and Gallup one by one. "Some of the pure-blood disciples between you have had a small conflict...but I think , This kind of kid-level little play, won't it lead to your ghost society's action?" At this time, he cast a meaningful look at Hector Foley.
"Huh!" Hector snorted coldly. "Don't assume that we don't know. Gemma, the traitor, is apparently going to deal with you, but in fact he is merciful, and he also took our intention to control you. Let it be revealed—you have already known the existence and purpose of our ghost society, right? Do you still need to pretend to be here?"
"Listen to your tone..." Xie Lin's voice suddenly fell cold, as if suppressing his anger, the cold flame in his eyes became more intense, "Jema she has suffered misfortune?"
"Betrayal of the organizer, only death will end!" Hector's mouth curled up, and a trace of perverted madness emerged in his pupils, "Hahaha, she deserves it!"
"Very well, I'll calculate this account with you later..." Xie Lin said lightly, as if Gemma's life and death had nothing to do with him, and it didn't affect his mood in the slightest. "Let me return to the topic just now. , That is to say, in order to organize the inheritance of the ghost society, it wants to achieve the purpose of controlling Slytherin College by controlling me, UU Reading , then—"
"What does this have to do with you?" This time, he set his sights on Catalyn and Eleanor, "The first family of France, the first family of alchemists in Europe..."
"What the **** did I do to bring out your two big families..." He paused, showing a mocking smile, "And what about Walpurgis behind you?"
There was a slight change in Katalin's face. Although it was not obvious, it was still seen by Schelling. She still kept a sweet smile and said, "I can only say...Mr. Malfoy! You know so much... at least you know so much more than I expected..."
"Although I don't know how you learned about Walpurgis..." She smiled, "But it doesn't matter anymore..." A stern light flashed across her eyes, "Everything, everything Will end today..."
"Do you have to do it now?" Xie Lin smiled faintly, his face is still so unhurried, but the pair of shining eyes is already cold.
"It's really boring! It's obviously an angelic face..." Xie Lin said, "but I don't even have a heart to make me understand..." The corners of his mouth suddenly smoothed, and he said coldly: What secret—"
"Wolpusi came at me because of the Black Crime Square, right?"
Kata Lin was taken aback, and recovered in an instant, her face was cold, "Unexpectedly, if you even know this, then you can't tolerate you even more... do it!"
