Xie Lin wandered around first, and then went to Lihen Bookstore to buy the textbooks needed for this semester. Xie Lin took two copies of all the textbooks first, and even Draco’s copy was done. Xie Lin saw that his parents and brother hadn’t arrived yet, so he took a leisurely look at the book in the bookstore. In the meantime, he helped the bookstore manager to deal with it. The violent biting of "The Monster Book of the Monsters" and the rebate coupon for buying the book saved Schelling 10 gallons of pocket money.

   These 10 gallons can just be used to offset the amount used to bribe Draco to keep him secret this morning.

   After a while, when the parents and brother arrived late, the family got on the night carriage and returned to Malfoy Manor.

On the way, Narcissa asked about Xie Lin’s experience in Diagon Alley today. Naturally, Xie Lin didn’t confess that she sneaked into Knock Down Alley. Instead, she pulled the topic away: "I went to Austria again today. Rivand’s wand shop, let him take care of my wand..."

Schelling organized a language and asked his doubts: "I found out that his business is actually not very good-his wand only sells 7 gallons. You must know that the wand is not a consumable. It is a wizard who enrolls every year. There are only 80 people at most, even if you add little wizards from foreign countries, there are only 100 people at most; if you are lucky, there were about 50 adult wizards that year need to buy a new one because the wand was damaged— -The magic wand is the second life of the wizard. There are already a lot of 50 such idiots. I am full of calculations, which is 150 people, which is equivalent to 1,050 gallons. Assuming that half is used as the cost of making the wand, he will only make a net profit of 525 gallons throughout the year. , This does not include the rent, maintenance and other expenses needed to open the shop, I feel a bit unbelievable..."

(Note: According to the advertisement in the Daily Prophet, the monthly salary of the striker of the Ministry of Magic is 700 gallons, and the monthly salary of the assistant manager of Lihen Bookstore is 42 gallons, which means that the monthly income of a big boss in Orivand is more than one. The bookstore wage earners are still poor)

Lucius nodded with satisfaction, "Schelling, you really inherited the family's excellent business talents, and you can think of this level so quickly. In fact, there are many unspoken rules in the wizarding business world. Take Olivande As an example, the greatest significance of the existence of this magic wand shop is a sign that allows him to maintain the reputation of the family. It is not so important to him whether the magic wand shop makes money or not. There are many cooperative research projects between him and the Ministry of Magic. Most of them are about the study of magic wands, and the research funds are the big ones. Of course, if it were not for the fame of this long-established magic wand shop, those cooperation opportunities would not necessarily fall into his hands..." , He snorted coldly.

"Don't look at this old man who seems to be polite. In the past thousand years, there have been few talented new staff makers who want to set up businesses in the UK, but without exception, they can't apply for the certification license from the Ministry of Magic—— I dare say that behind this is definitely the old guy Orivand’s method. This trick is famous in the business world, called the "competitive moat", and its significance is to establish a barrier that prevents newcomers from joining. You can maintain the effect of monopolizing the entire industry. How about, is it eye-opening to the dark side behind the business world?" Lucius finished with a sneer.

(Note: According to the Daily Prophet, Willie Wagstaff was warned by the Magic Equipment Control Bureau for selling wands without a "Ministry of Magic Certification Stamp", so legally sold wands require a Ministry of Magic authorization stamp. )

   Schelling fell into contemplation. It turns out that there are also these doors in the wizarding business world. It seems that I was able to enter the flying broomstick market before and made a fortune because of the benefits that can predict the plot, and no small luck!

Huh? Wouldn't the other traversers predecessors be able to easily monopolize the entire wizarding business community once they come out, raise their arms and shake their bodies? Are they all born with a bitch? Or is it a halo that allows other wizards, merchants, and pure-blood families to automatically lower their wisdom? Schelling fell into envy, jealousy and hatred...

At the family dinner that evening, Lucius once again sternly urged the two sons to remember the glory of the family and put forward his requirements for academic performance, and said: "Especially you, Draco, concentrate on studying. , Don’t provoke Potter’s people. You should also know that Hogwarts will not be peaceful this semester. Now I will tell you some inside stories that the newspapers didn’t mention. The real purpose of Blake’s escape is to kill Harry Po. special!"

   "What?" Schelling, who had known the plot for a long time, looked calm, but Draco, who had fallen in love with Harry Potter all the way, cried out in surprise.

Lucius stared at Draco indifferently, and said, "Blake was my junior. He and Harry Potter's father, James Potter, were good friends, but in the end he gave his best friend to the Dark Lord. The betrayal led to the tragic death of James Potter. His escape from prison was obviously to eliminate the roots and kill Harry Potter. Although I wish this **** kid died tragically, I don’t want you two for some stupid reason. Being implicated by him, he also trapped himself."

Lucius paused for a while, then continued, "Although everyone says Blake is crazy, he may be crazy, but he is smart enough to escape from Azkaban-this is something ordinary people can't do. If Black can escape from Azkaban, I think he can rush into Hogwarts. Black once brutally killed a dozen innocent passers-by on the street, if you meet him unfortunately, I don’t think he Will show mercy to your subordinates, and it is more likely that you will be killed by him to avoid revealing his whereabouts. Do you understand?"

   Schelling and Draco both nodded quickly to express their understanding.

   That night, Xie Lin took out the pain mask he bought today in the bedroom, slowly put the mask on his face, used magic to stimulate its effect, then took it off and looked at it. In Xie Lin's eyes, the mask seemed to turn into a black hole and a whirlpool, slowly pulling Xie Lin's gaze in. An unreasonable sense of fear appeared in Xie Lin's heart, but within a few seconds, Xie Lin broke free from this weird state.

"Is it only to this degree? Or is it only effective for people with low magic power?" Schelling muttered dissatisfied, but there was a sense of absurdity in his heart. I didn't expect this mask to be bought back, and the first one to deal with It's oneself. Xie Lin lifted the eyes of magic power and concentrated on feeling the fluctuations of magic power from the mask. Unlike the magic power used to release ordinary spells, it seems to be guided by another invisible force mobilization. It was an indescribable mysterious power. It revolved around the magic power on the mask. It was invisible, bodyless and weightless, but it seemed to act directly on the soul.

"If this is soul magic, it is tantamount to temporarily stripping off part of the consciousness and attacking other people's souls?" Schelling felt as if he had grasped the essence of soul magic. He tried to use Occlumency to clear all his thoughts, and then tried Splitting his consciousness into a little bit and blending it into magic power, the magic power he can feel suddenly increases after blending into his split consciousness body. He concentrates on condensing the magic power into needles, slowly moving towards The mask pierced off, as if it had made a strong collision with a solid wall. Xie Lin felt dizzy. After recovering, he realized that his forehead was all wet with sweat, and the pain mask had been split into two pieces.

   Xie Lin thought for a while, and suddenly understood the principle of soul attack. It was just a simple and rude contest between him and the consciousness in the pain mask. The soul power of the pain mask was not strong, so the mask was easily broken by him. If you replace the mask with a Hogwarts sorting hat, there are four founders in it that can sustain the consciousness for thousands of years. With the meager soul power that Schelling has never exercised, he must have fallen into a fiasco and turned into an idiot. End.

Schelling suddenly thought of the essence of magic power~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The so-called magic power should be determined by the strength of the soul, and the strength of the spiritual power determines the magical power and magic power of the wizard. The output rate of the stream. From this Schelling can be sure that magic is by no means like most wizards think, it will increase naturally with a fixed growth rate over time. After all, the two evil spirits of Grindelwald and Dumbledore dominated European magic in their forties. World, those wizards of the older generation are far from opponents.

   Schelling turned various thoughts in his mind, his eyes flashed with an imperceptible light, he seemed to have discovered the most amazing secret in the magic world: the secret of how to enhance magic power.

   Grindelwald and Dumbledore did not use black magic to transform themselves beyond recognition like Voldemort did. Therefore, their magic power can grow faster than others, and there must be an unknown reason behind them. This is not mentioned in the original work. This may be because the two of them did not know the underlying principle. The two of them were born with a soul strength and powerful mental power far beyond that of ordinary people, which caused the growth rate of their magical power to be in these two. With the addition of factors, you can get amazing gains.

  In other words, a powerful soul and mental power can't suddenly increase your magic power like a magic potion, but it can increase the rate of magic power. If you want to catch up with the strength of Voldemort and Dumbledore before the troubled times come, you will definitely need to find a way to strengthen your soul and strengthen your mental power.

   was able to discover such an amazing secret, even if the pain mask worth 29 gallons was so scrapped, Schelling didn't feel distressed at all. Schelling checked the fragments of the pain mask again, but found that the magic wave attached to it had dissipated along with the collapse of the consciousness. The mask had become two ordinary fragments, so he didn't hesitate to throw the pieces in. In the trash can.
