Chapter 28 Bloodline Research

After class, the Slytherins were still happily discussing what happened in the previous class in the corridor. This time, Slytherins made a big splash and earned a full 60 points for the college.

Schelling gradually established prestige in the hearts of Slytherin classmates.

Among the boys in Slytherin, the two brothers of the Malfoy family and Theodore Nott of the Nott family were the most distinguished. After experiencing the last semester, Schelling was invited to join the Transfiguration Club, the Spells Club, and won the Most Promising Newcomer Award of "Today's Transfiguration". These achievements all show Schelling's excellent strength. Even the unruly Theodore Nott had to recognize Schelling as the leader among Slytherin students at this moment.

Several Slytherin girls in the same class began to look for opportunities to get close to Shaylin, such as Tracy Davis and Audrey Runcorn, who often hung out with Pansy. Sometimes they would talk to Shaylin under the pretext of asking for help with homework, and sometimes they would wait for Shaylin in the lounge to go to the Great Hall for dinner together. Unfortunately, Daphne and Meredith would become kittens whose territory had been invaded at such times, guarding Shaylin tightly and not letting them get close to him.

Shaylin was not a person who liked to show off. His earlier actions in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class actually had other purposes.

The first week of school passed quickly.

During the first week of school, Shaylin had a total of three Defense Against the Dark Arts classes. Although there was no more practical content like the Little Green Fairy in the subsequent Defense Against the Dark Arts classes, Shaylin, who could recite Lockhart's works by heart, could still often add points for Slytherin in the daily questions and answers in class, winning Lockhart's goodwill.

On the weekend of the first week of school, Draco passed the Quidditch team selection without any surprise and became a seeker.

Harry Potter also became a seeker for Gryffindor in the second grade according to the original trajectory in the original book. The only difference is that Professor McGonagall did not give him a flying broom in this world, so he bought a sweeping seven stars with his own money.

Sherin didn't take it too seriously. Draco was different from the lazy and careless in the original book. Because he couldn't compare with Sherin in academic performance, Draco felt that he only had flying to show off, so Sherin witnessed Draco's hard training day and night for the whole summer vacation.

According to Sherin's estimation, Draco's strength would not be much worse than that of the gifted Harry. If the difference in flying brooms is taken into account, it is not impossible for Draco to crush Harry.

(Note: Oliver Wood once suggested buying Harry a Nimbus 2000 or a Crossbow Seven, which means that the craftsmanship of these two brooms is similar, but the Nimbus 2000 is known as the fastest broom at the time, so it should be faster than the Crossbow Seven; the Nimbus 2001 used by Draco is faster and more optimized than the Nimbus 2000, so it can be determined that the craftsmanship is at least one level higher than Harry's Crossbow Seven)

It is worth mentioning that on the day of the selection, his worrying brother had a conflict with Harry and his trio again.

Hermione sarcastically ridiculed Draco for having to spend money to join the Quidditch team. The furious Draco said "mudblood" to Hermione in public as a humiliation, which resulted in a big fight between Slytherin and Gryffindor.

Ron overestimated his ability and cast the "Slug Vomiting Curse" on Draco, but his broken wand went off and shot the curse at himself, causing him to vomit slugs from his mouth all day long.

After hearing about this, Sherin could only shake his head and express his speechlessness at his brother's suicidal behavior.

In his opinion, his brother's behavior of imitating his father and always talking about "mudbloods" was very stupid. Hogwarts was now ruled by Dumbledore, who favored Muggles. Doing these things that made him hate under his nose was not suicidal.

In the second week of school, Sherin asked Dobby to buy a bottle of Ogden's Aged Fire Whiskey for him and took it to Lockhart's office in person. As soon as Sherin knocked on the door, it opened immediately. Lockhart stood at the door and greeted Sherin with his signature smile. "Ah, it's Mr. Malfoy, my best student, welcome, come this way."

In Lockhart's office, there were countless frames of Lockhart's photos hanging on the wall, which were illuminated by many candles. There was also a large stack of photos on the table, and the portraits in all the photos showed white teeth and deliberate smiles.

Schelling first gave Lockhart a bottle of Ogden Aged Flame Whiskey, saying that he was a fan of Lockhart's books and admired Lockhart's adventures, which made Lockhart's vanity burst.

After a round of greetings between teachers and students, Schelling saw that the atmosphere was almost right, so he proposed the purpose of today's visit: "It's like this, Professor. I have finished reading your books and encountered some problems. For example, I didn't quite understand the chronic ghoul venom mentioned in "Traveling with Ghouls"; and the method of resisting the mental control of the hag in "Holidays with Hags"; and the spell that finally restored the werewolf to human form in "Wandering with Werewolves"..."

Lockhart froze there, and seemed to be speechless. Schelling's questions seemed to be a bit beyond the scope for him.

"Of course, I'm not here to ask you!" While his eyes were rolling, Schelling said hurriedly: "I think you can easily answer these simple questions, but you didn't write them in the book, so you must want us to explore these questions ourselves..."

"Really?" Lockhart blinked. "No, I mean you are right, Mr. Malfoy. I really want you to explore the answers to these questions by yourself. You are indeed my best student!"

"So I want to find some books from the library, hoping to solve my doubts. But the problem is that these books are in the restricted section of the library, so I need a restricted section permit signed by a professor."

Lockhart nodded. "Of course, I can't stop a seeker from exploring the truth." He signed a big, cursive name on a piece of paper with flowing letters: Shaylin Malfoy is allowed to enter the restricted section of the library. Gilderoy Lockhart.

"Thank you, professor!" Shaylin quickly took the note.

"You're welcome, Shaylin..." Lockhart waved his hand generously. "Study hard, you may achieve something close to me in the future!"

[Restricted section permit obtained! 】

Yes, the purpose behind all that Shaylin did was to enter the restricted section of the library!

Sherin has the books of the Malfoy and Black families, the family spells of the four major families, Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration experience, Nicolas Flamel's alchemy experience, and he does not lack any powerful magic. He is very clear about the problem he is facing now, that is, his magic power is not enough for him to learn high-level magic that consumes a lot of energy and has strong power. Insufficient magic power is the biggest bottleneck for him to learn magic.

There are very limited ways to improve magic power. In addition to relying on the natural increase of wizards as they age, the other three known methods are:

First, collect legendary magic artifacts such as the Elder Wand, but legendary magic artifacts are very rare and difficult to obtain. Many wizards have never seen one in their lives;

Second, use black magic to transform your body like Voldemort. It is said that Tom Riddle was very handsome in his school days, and he was completely different from the ugly and terrible Voldemort later. This method is easy to gain powerful power, but Schelling does not want to become a monster without a nose like Voldemort;

Third, use various potions and alchemical items to stimulate the wizard's magical potential. This potential is generally hidden in the wizard's blood power.

Although Schelling has read the collections of several families, he did not find any records about blood power in them, so he set his sights on the restricted book area of ​​the Hogwarts library, hoping to find useful information for his research on blood power here.

In the following time, Schelling often spent time in the restricted book area of ​​the library. The restricted book area was filled with a chilly atmosphere. When Xie Lin walked in gently, he felt a chill seeping through his pores.

Xie Lin looked through the books on the bookshelf one by one, such as "The Most Poisonous Magic", "The Wizard's Sonnet", "The Book of Spells", "Powerful Potion", "The Secret of the Soul", "The Demon Code", etc. The titles of the books were chilling at first glance, and the covers were even more terrifying and gloomy. For example, the cover of "The Wizard's Sonnet" was a skinny wizard with blood coming out of his seven orifices, with his head raised and chanting something.

Xie Lin curiously opened a copy of "The Secret of the Soul". The texture was soft and smooth, but when he opened it, a roar came. A skull made of light mist rushed towards Xie Lin ferociously, but he was alert to avoid it and it floated into the air and turned into nothingness.

Xie Lin did not open the book again. He was not interested in the overly advanced soul magic now. The most urgent thing was to find a book about blood magic first.

Schelling hurriedly scanned the names on the spines of the books one row after another. After the incident with Voldemort, Dumbledore would not allow books like "Secrets of Advanced Black Magic" to exist in the restricted area. Schelling was more confident about the danger of accidentally touching a black magic book.

After three weeks of hard work, Schelling successfully collected all the information he needed.

Even with the rich collection of books in the library, there is still not much information about blood magic. The most helpful of the many materials is the research notes of the legendary wizard Merlin on blood transformation. Merlin wanted to increase the magic value in the human body by implanting the blood of magical creatures in the human body. Unfortunately, this research touched the taboo area and had to be abandoned.

Although he was a little disappointed that he could not find a specific way to help him stimulate the power of his blood, Schelling was not discouraged. Magic research is a step-by-step process that cannot be accomplished overnight. He was indeed very lucky to have been able to go smoothly all the time. Now he encountered setbacks, which could be used as a sharpening for himself.
