Hogwarts Fire and Ice

As the pleasant afternoon tea time passed, the Christmas dinner that had been carefully prepared for a long time finally arrived.

With the help of kitchen magic, Gail cooked delicious dishes and served them to the table.

Considering that the guests at this Christmas dinner included Mr. and Mrs. Lemay and Greene from France, in addition to cooking British dishes such as grilled steak, potato braised lamb, chicken diced salad, and fried fish fillets, Gale did the same as previous Christmas dinners. , and also cooked many French dishes.

For example, foie gras, oyster cups, baked snails and Marseille soup, etc., were all brought to the table by Gail.

What surprised Irina the most was the several oriental delicacies that Linn specially ordered Gale to cook, such as Dongpo pork, Mapo tofu, spicy chicken and dumplings with various fillings.

These oriental delicacies are not only loved by Lynn and Irina, but also by guests such as Green, Newt and Tina.

After taking a bite of Dongpo Pork, Nico said happily: "This is exactly the same as the local food I tasted when I traveled to the East more than two hundred years ago!"

"You're interested, Lynn," Irina took small bites of these long-lost delicacies, and she narrowed her eyes in enjoyment, "and Gale's craftsmanship is indeed not bad!"

In Irina's opinion, although the dishes prepared by Gale still lack some charm, in terms of taste, they are no less than those of chefs in five-star hotels!

"Thank you for the compliment, it's Gale's honor!" Gale said happily as he put a plate of egg pudding on the table.

This Christmas dinner can be said to be a joy for both guests and hosts. After the dessert session, not only Lynn and Irina, but also Nico opened the colorful firecrackers hanging on the Christmas tree with childlike interest. .

After opening some interesting gadgets from these colorful firecrackers, even if these gadgets are alchemy products that can be made by underage wizards without any technical content, Nico can also do this. Laughed.

There is no such thing as a vigil at Christmas in the magical world, so Linn climbed into bed early after asking Gale to deliver the Christmas gifts for him on time.

Irina, Green, Mr. and Mrs. Lowell, Mr. and Mrs. Scamander and Mr. and Mrs. Flamel also rested early in the guest room on the third floor.

The night passed quickly, and when Lynn woke up from bed, the foot of his bed was already piled with Christmas gifts.

This school year, after having the DA army, the number of young wizards willing to give him Christmas gifts has multiplied exponentially. The Christmas gifts that could only be piled up on one side of his bed now cover the floor. He had no idea where to start.

After seeing so many Christmas gifts, Lynn was moved and wanted to laugh.

"Gail, please help me sort my Christmas gifts into categories. Just leave the Christmas gifts for a few of my closest people for me to open."

Linn snapped his fingers and called Gale out, he said to Gale.

Gale agreed, he snapped his fingers, and the gift box in the room disappeared at an extremely fast speed.

When these Christmas gifts were delivered to Lynn's room, Gail had already checked them one by one. As the house elf of Rolle Manor, Gail was naturally obliged to check whether these Christmas gifts were safe.

Things like a gift box containing chocolates mixed with love potions will never appear in the Christmas gifts sent to Rolle Manor, because such gifts will be detected by Gale in advance using detection magic, and then Pick it out and throw it away. Therefore, it was very easy for Gale to sort and pack the Christmas gifts that he had placed in Lynn's room.

After Gail's screening, 90% of the Christmas gifts in the room had disappeared. Only a dozen Christmas gifts were left in the room, and only a few were placed in front of Linn. Five more Christmas gifts to go.

The five Christmas gifts come from Rowena, Irina, Irwin, Green and Nico Flamel.

Lin En first opened the Christmas gift Rowena gave him. Rowena's gift was a scarf knitted by her own hands. Although it was not expensive, it was thoughtful.

What Irina gave him was a belt with ten leather pockets on the side. The pockets were so small that they could only be used to insert a quill from the outside.

But these ten small pockets were all cast by Irina with a powerful traceless stretching spell. This made the small pockets that were originally difficult to insert a quill now have a space equivalent to a small room!

This means that Linn can store things equivalent to the size of ten small rooms in this belt, and these things include but are not limited to alchemy materials, weapons, medicines, etc.!

This is definitely a very convenient piece of equipment, even compared to the alchemy equipment that Lin En refined himself!

The most important point is that Lin En can perform secondary processing on this belt, strengthen its various functions through alchemy, and even add new functions to it!

What Irwin gave Linn was a copy of a magic book that recorded ancient magic. The cover of this copy was very familiar to Linn.

He vaguely remembered that when he was studying the ancient magic of Purgatory Demon Puppet in Forlì Castle, he had seen such a cover in the crystal cabinet that contained thirteen magic books recording ancient magic!

The thirteen magic books in the crystal cabinet of Forlì Castle all carry special magic and can help readers understand and learn the ancient magic recorded in them.

But this copy has no such function.

However, this does not mean that wizards cannot learn the ancient magic recorded in this copy.

It’s just that the difficulty and cost of learning will be much higher.

"The name of this ancient magic... is called "Blood Curse Killing"?"

Linn gently rubbed the cover of the copy, and he read out the name of the ancient magic on the cover.

After reading the name of this ancient magic, Lin En had some guesses in his mind.

Perhaps, Irwin's purpose is not to let himself learn this ancient magic, but to use his own hands to let people who are more suitable for this ancient magic learn it.

Or perhaps, Irwin already had a candidate for this ancient magic, and he just followed along. Irwin hopes that he can also learn this ancient magic, so as to complement each other, and let Irwin choose That person can also learn this ancient magic faster.

Lin En's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he opened the copy of the ancient magic called "Blood Curse Killing" and read the introduction to this ancient magic on the first page, his guess was finally understood. Confirmed. (End of chapter)
