Cannon Fodder Collection [Comprehensive]

Lin Ning didn't know whether Merlin had ever worn lace panties, but she knew she definitely didn't wear lace panties.

No!

It was Merlin who felt a little distressed and was regarded as "God" by the wizarding world.

In the wizarding world, wizards generally believe in Merlin, so that when they are emotionally ups and downs, they will always say: "Merlin's xx!"

Fill in "xx" casually.

Even Lin Ning used "Meilin's socks" as the Romans did when she wrote the novel she brought this time.After all, this lyric is very common, not as exaggerated as Mrs. Worm's.Just looking at Mrs Worm's appearance as if she was struck by the god of love, Lin Ning thought that Lockhart still has another advantage, that is, he does have a good appearance, no lady can not blush and heart beat This is probably one of the reasons why he can become a best-selling author.

The wizarding world also looks at faces.

Lin Ning thought so, but he couldn't see any signs of distraction from the outside, and he didn't seem to be bothered by Mrs. Worm's slight gaffe. The eyes were still rippling with a pleasant blue color, which made him After Mrs. Worm came back to her senses, she called Mr. Worm, who had already gone to work, to come back quickly through the fireplace call.

August Worm thought that something important happened at home, but when he hurried out of the fireplace, he saw his always dignified wife smiling wildly at a young man.

August Worm: "???"

Lin Ning stood up first.

It was only then that Mrs. Worm noticed him: "Honey, come and meet this talented and understanding young man. Merlin, he is so incredible, I think you will like him too."

August Worm: "???"

Lin Ning: "..."

Just smile at this time.

It can be said that before the formal acquaintance, August Worm's mood was very complicated, not to mention that when Lin Ning introduced herself and said her name was "Gideroy Lockhart", August Worm felt very complicated. Gust Worm could hardly contain his impatience and dismissiveness.Just as Lin Ning speculated, in the Three Broomsticks earlier, after listening to Mrs. Lockhart bragging about her precious son, August Worm's most primitive reaction was not to appreciate Lockhart together. Special, but heard the rhetoric in Mrs. Lockhart's words, and also thought that Lockhart was probably an arrogant young man who liked to brag. Creatures, ordinary wizards would not easily provoke them. In addition, if such a thing really happened, how come two months have passed and there is still no movement?

The initial impression was not good, but now seeing Mrs. Worm's exuberant appearance, and this person's behavior of coming to the door automatically, no matter how you look at it, it is all superficial.

Lin Ning blinked, and was not surprised by August Worm's reaction at all, and was not too worried about it. After all, because of Mrs. Worm's affection, August Worm would not just let it go She turned her down, and that was enough.

Half a month later, "My Night in Gaolin Mountain" was released.

At this time, it was the eve of the start of Hogwarts, and Diagon Alley was particularly lively. Parents could be seen everywhere buying school supplies for the children who were about to start school, including books needed for the new school year.Hogwarts is only responsible for sending the list of books in the notice to students, and will not buy them for students uniformly. Most students will choose to buy new books at Lihen Bookstore. For students who cannot afford it, Lihen Bookstores also sell second-hand books.

"Percy, keep an eye on George and Fred!" Mrs. Weasley told her third son, who was about to enter Hogwarts, to keep an eye on his twin brothers who came with him but were the most mischievous, and they would plunge into it later. Today's extremely crowded Lihen Bookstore, the target is the second-hand books of Lihen Bookstore, and for Mrs. Weasley, as long as the second-hand books are well restored, they can actually be regarded as new books.

It took a full half an hour before Mrs. Weasley squeezed out from the crowd.

George and Fred didn't know where they went.

Percy frowned and glanced at the only book in Mrs. Weasley's hand, "It's not listed in the book list, Mom."

Mrs. Weasley said with some embarrassment: "I bought it without knowing it."

"I see a lot of people are scrambling to buy this book, I think it must be very interesting."

Percy Weasley: "Really?"

Mrs. Weasley was a little cautious, so she told him to look at the others: "Look at each of them holding a book, right?"

Percy Weasley was still skeptical, he knew very well what was going on in their family, Mrs Weasley seldom spent money on unnecessary things, let alone she forgot to buy him books, just to Grab a book he's never heard of before.Look at the author again, Gilderoy Lockhart?Who is that?

At this time, Mrs. Weasley slapped her forehead and said, "Ah, I forgot to buy you a book, please wait a little longer."

Percy Weasley subconsciously reached out to take the book to free Mrs. Weasley, but Mrs. Weasley stuffed the book into her pocket, then turned around and rushed into the still The crowded Lihen Bookstore.

Percy Weasley: "...??"

What is the situation?

This doubt came to light when he happened to see the poster hanging outside the door of Lihen Bookstore.In the poster, the blond young man is wearing well-tailored black trousers, a white shirt and a dark blue vest, which is a good counterbalance to the blue robe that most wizards would not choose, and he is sitting on the sofa Flipping through the book in hand left a feeling of tranquility.Of course, more people still feel the handsomeness of the blond youth at first sight. Just a side profile is enough to make people stop, especially for ladies.

It's no wonder that Mrs. Weasley rarely spends extra money to buy novels written by others.

No, Percy Weasley took a closer look and found that there were quite a few wizards who came to buy that "My One Night in Highwood Mountain". They couldn't just spend money just because the author was good-looking. Did you buy books?

Meanwhile, Xenophilius Lovegood, editor-in-chief of The Quibbler, slapped the table and said, "Why do I feel like we're being used!"

One editor, Colin Peddle, asked: "Did you buy My One Night at Highwood Hill too?"

"No!" Novelius Lovegood said categorically, but when he received suspicious looks from his colleagues, he curled his lips and said, "What kind of look is that from you? Well, someone called an owl to deliver it to you this morning. Give me a copy. Wait, what is 'also'? You bought that book too?"

Colin Peddle nodded: "Well, I really want to know what happened next, so after knowing that Lihen Bookstore released the book today, I couldn't wait to buy a copy. I think many people are hugging I went with the same mood, and I see that many people opened the book directly to read the follow-up after getting the book."

Novelius Lovegood: "Hmph!"

Colin Peddle took it very seriously: "Didn't we also not pay him the manuscript fee? Besides, the sales of "The Quibbler" have been higher recently than before."

Nofilius Lovegood was unimpressed: "If he dares to use the same drama next time, see if I don't send him a howler letter."

Colin Peddle thought about the scene when he went to Lihen Bookstore earlier, and heard from the clerk of Lihen Bookstore that they had asked the factory to send the second batch of reprinted books and periodicals, and felt that the editor-in-chief seemed very The cunning Mr. Lockhart has become an instant hit, and if he publishes a novel next time, there will definitely be no shortage of readers.Of course, the most important thing is that the writing style of the other party is really good, and the stories written are fascinating, and people have to read it in one sitting to be comfortable, otherwise he would not ask for leave to queue up to buy the book back.

Linning also spoke about the incident at his home in Cornwall: "I think it's a win-win."

It turned out that I went to visit August Worm, editor-in-chief of Moran Publishing House that day, and reversed his impression with real talents and knowledge, and successfully adapted her novel "I Am Here" based on the experience of their family of three in Gaolin Mountain. After "One Night in Gaolin Mountain" was sold to him, Lin Ning wrote a few other short stories in order to get off to a good start, so that he could take the royalties and dividends and go to Australia to eat Billywig bugs. sing a different tune".

These short stories are related to "My One Night in Gaolin Mountain". To some extent, they can be regarded as re-creations by intercepting key words in them, and they are also serialized.With these short stories, Lin Ning successfully attracted the attention of the readers of "The Quibbler", and cut it off at the climax. Of course, he did not forget to kindly remind them that if you want to read the full story, please visit Lihen Bookstore, buy "My Night in Gaolin Mountain".

It can be said that she put a weird advertisement for her own book in "The Quibbler", and she didn't pay the "Quieter" even a Galleon.

In contrast, "The Quibbler" didn't pay her a galleon.This is the consistent practice of "The Quibbler", which never pays the contributors.

The reason why it is a win-win situation is that, as Colin Peddle, the editor of "The Quibbler", said, these short stories have also slightly boosted the sales of "The Quibbler".

The White Queen: "That's true."

Lin Ning smiled and said, "Yes."

Immediately Lin Ning asked casually, "Is there no news from Bloomberry Publishing House?"

White Queen: "Not yet."

"I don't know the process very well. Let's analyze it carefully when we come back from Australia." Lin Ning said not very concerned.The Bloombury Publishing House they both mentioned was not a publishing house in the wizarding world, but an independent publishing house that was relatively well-known in the field of popular publishing on the Muggle side.Lin Ning had previously intended to contribute to the Muggle Publishing House. For this reason, she also made a systematic analysis of the novels published by the major publishing houses in the past ten years with the White Queen, extracted the popular elements, and combined them with their own. Due to the situation, Lin Ning wrote another novel and submitted it to Bloomberry Publishing House.For this reason, Lin Ning also compiled a set of identities for their family, and temporarily rented an apartment in the Muggle world, and placed a door key in the inbox of the apartment. Once a letter is delivered, the door key will be triggered , transfer the letter to their home.

It's just that two weeks have passed since she submitted the manuscript, and there is still no news from Bloomberry Press.

Lin Ning is not very clear about the reason. He just wants to know and he has to wait until after their trip to Australia. You must know that the trip to Australia was agreed upon when they first came to this parallel world.

Nepenthes: "Aww!"

Lin Ning: "Wait, what are you doing?"

Nepenthes about to drill into the fireplace: "Wow?"

Lin Ning: "When did I tell you we're leaving as soon as we say it? We have to prepare in advance."

The pitcher plant spread out on the floor with a "slap".

Lin Ning shrugged.

They really can't just leave. The herbs in the greenhouse have to be settled, and all kinds of supplies have to be brought. At the same time, they have to communicate with Moran Publishing House. "My Night in Gaolin Mountain" is very good-looking because of "The Quibbler" and the author, and the sales volume is very gratifying for Moran Publishing House. They are naturally willing to cooperate with Lin Ning again, and they are also willing to give priority to part of the gold plus Long Lai as an advance payment for the next novel.

Lin Ning has no objections, but she will not finish her second novel so soon, and even if she wants to calm down and start typing, she feels that the pitcher plant will eat her typewriter if she disagrees.In order not to break the promise of their dog, Lin Ning did not give Moran Publishing House the time for submitting the manuscript of the next novel, but indicated that the next book will also be published by their publishing house.

After collecting the rest of the miscellaneous things, the family of three embarked on the international flyway network to Australia.

The Billywig is an insect native to Australia. Anyone who is broken by it will first be dazzled and then float.Because of this magical phenomenon, many young Australian wizards will deliberately catch Billywig bugs to sting themselves.It is precisely because of this that Lin Ning said before that Billywig secretes a psychedelic substance, which will penetrate into the body of the stinger along with its sting needle, making them feel erratic .Of course, this kind of erratic feeling is not only reflected in the psychology of the stung, but also reflected in their physiology. It can be said to be a kind of "psychedelic drug" with all-round three-dimensional effects.

At the same time, once someone is stung too much, he will float uncontrollably in the air for several days in a row, and if there is a severe allergic reaction, permanent floating will follow.

This is the so-called happy feeling of the little sting, and the hurt of the big sting.

For this reason, Lin Ning quietly said to the White Queen: "We haven't tested it yet, what if the pitcher plant has adverse reactions?"

White Queen: "This is indeed a problem, but are you going to tell it?"

Lin Ning said with a sad face, "I'm afraid it won't listen."

The White Queen said slowly, "I think if something goes wrong then, I can treat it."

Lin Ning still didn't get used to the white queen's current status as a therapist. After what the white queen said, she came to her senses, nodded after thinking about it, and finally said: "If it's just a small problem like a sting, Then forget about it."

White Queen: "Okay."

The pitcher plant didn't notice this at all, and it still walked in the front with arrogance. It didn't stop until it realized that it didn't know where the Billywig was. The queen let out a "woof".

Lin Ning said confidently: "It's in Australia."

Nepenthes: "..."

That's what it says in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which author Newt Scamman only has so much to say about Billywigs.After reading this book carefully, Lin Ning also integrated other related books, such as listing the potions that need to use the Billywig sting needle, and the dryness of the Billywig worm What role does the stinging needle play in these potions.Also, I went to the candy shop in Hogsmeade Village and bought zizi honey candies, piles of cockroaches, ice mice, jelly slugs, etc. Nepenthes can't eat candies, but the latter types The candy was collected by it, and it usually licked and couldn't finish it all at once, so it ate them up slowly, and it was also persistent.

Anyway, now they were looking for Billywig bugs, and not knowing where they usually haunt, they went to a pub called Kangaroo Pocket in Australia's wizarding community.Many young Australian wizards gathered there. During the conversation with them, Lin Ning found out where they usually chased Billywig bugs, and she also noticed that when they came in, the bar owner was on guard. After she and the local young wizards inquired about the Billywig bug, the bar owner relaxed his vigilance a little.At the same time, this kind of vigilance was not aimed at them alone, but against the unfamiliar faces, and this kind of vigilance reached its peak when the two wizards came in.

It was a man and a woman.

Most of the man's head was wrapped in dirty bandages, and the woman wore a black sand towel that hung down to her feet. The occasionally exposed hands were pale, with pointed nails, and painted with black and red paint .These two people seemed out of place in the Kangaroo Pocket Bar, and the guests in the bar were quiet for a moment because of their entry.

The man and the woman turned a deaf ear to this, and went to a corner and sat down.

And when they passed by Lin Ning, Lin Ning keenly smelled the smell of blood on their bodies. The smell of blood was still strong, and it seemed that they had been contaminated not long ago.It's just that the smell of blood doesn't quite resemble the smell of human blood. Look carefully at their attire, especially the woman wrapped in a thick black scarf. Her black robe is still stained with blood, and the black sand scarf covering her face There are also a drop or two on it.Thinking about her pale skin and sharp nails, is she a vampire?

There are indeed vampires in this world, which can be seen from the original book "Traveling with Vampires".However, vampires in the magic world are not like those described in Muggle novels, with characteristics such as fast movement, immortality, and invulnerability. Vampires in the magic world are more like magical animals, like centaurs, mermaids, etc. like that.Of course, centaurs and mermaids are classified as magical animals because they have a bad relationship with wizards. They declined the status of "human" and chose the status of "animal".There is also a vampire in the magic world, strictly speaking, it is a general term for monsters who drink human or animal blood.

In the end, vampires in the magic world don't have high force values, and they don't have any "special abilities". Even an ordinary wizard or a muggle with a weapon can subdue a vampire.

Lin Ning naturally looked back, turned around and continued talking with the local young wizards around her.Soon, she found out that kangaroos had been brutally killed here one after another recently, and a wizard reported to the Australian Ministry of Magic that he had seen a rune snake.The rune snake is a large three-headed snake with bright orange and black stripes, and because of its eye-catching and frightening appearance, it has become the favorite of dark wizards, who often regard them as pets.

And this kind of snake was originally only found in Africa, but now that it appears in Australia, it means that it was most likely brought by a black wizard.The successive murders of kangaroos were most likely committed by the black wizard, and because the black wizard is known to be cruel, maybe the black wizard will bring further bloodshed and tragedy.

It's no wonder that bar owners are wary of new faces.

Lin Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, and before she could think about it, the pitcher plant patted her calf.

Lin Ning: "...I see."

The White Queen knelt down and hugged the pitcher plant. She was wearing a long robe now. If you didn't look carefully, you would just treat her as an ordinary child. She was not noticeable in the bar. After all, there were no rules in the magic world. Little wizards can't drink.What's more, the White Queen can touch objects, so no one will doubt her identity. However, when the pitcher plant is picked up by her, it is still a bit uncomfortable. It didn't know how many times it passed through before. Second projection of the White Queen.

Lin Ning paid the silver Sickles and left the Kangaroo Pocket Bar. Before leaving, he waved to the group of young wizards he knew.

After leaving the Kangaroo Pocket Bar, Lin Ning briefly told the White Queen what she knew.

Nepenthes: "Wow!"

Lin Ning: "You have to know that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, Nepenthes."

Nepenthes has an indifferent face.

Lin Ning didn't continue to whet his appetite anymore, so he used a guiding spell, and let the guiding spell lead them to places where Billywigs usually haunt.Soon after arriving, they caught several Billywigs, which were about [-] cm long, about the same size as the original pitcher plant.What is more peculiar is that the wings of the Billywig grow on both sides of the top of the head, flapping very fast, but its movements are not agile enough, Muggles seldom notice them, and even wizards seldom see them They, unless stung by them.

Lin Ning and the others were not stung, but cast a holding spell on them after using the Flying Curse to attract the Billywig worms.Then Lin Ning pinched one of them and put it in front of the pitcher plant.

Nepenthes: "Ah——"

Lin Ning: "...not for you to eat. No, you think you can eat it?"

Nepenthes nodded without hesitation.

Lin Ning raised his eyebrows.

After sniffing carefully, the pitcher plant nodded again.

Lin Ning then fed the Billywig worms to it. Seeing that there was no abnormality after eating it, he also fed the remaining Billywig worms. After a while, the pitcher plants were still alive. alive and kicking.Lin Ning turned his head and said to the White Queen: "It seems that we are too cautious."

Think about what the pitcher plant has eaten before. It is a dog that has eaten the queen of the Zerg, and it has a stomach and digestive system at the cosmic level.

White Queen: "Emir, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Ning lowered his head in shame: "I'm actually interested in the stomach of the pitcher plant."

White Queen: "..."

Fortunately, the pitcher plant didn't hear this. After it was relaxed by Lin Ning and the White Queen, it slammed towards other Billywigs.Although Billywigs fly very fast, even if their agility is not that high, they are not bad, but they are still not enough for the little insect catcher of the pitcher plant, and they are not sitting still, no, just One billywig managed to sting a pitcher plant.

Nepenthes flew.

Lin Ning: "!"

Lin Ning quickly fished it over.

Nepenthes: "Wow, woof~"

The corner of Lin Ning's mouth twitched.

Apparently, the pitcher plant likes the feeling of flying without wings. As a last resort, Lin Ning transformed a branch into a rope, tied one end of the rope around the neck of the pitcher plant, and tied the other end around her wrist. A dog-shaped balloon.She then captured dozens of Billywigs alive and placed them in her carry-on luggage.The suitcase is superimposed with magic, which can temporarily simulate the living environment of Billywig bugs to achieve the effect of freshness.

no……

But when they returned to England, they were still alive and kicking.

White Queen: "Do you want to be stung by a Billywig too, Emile?"

Lin Ning thought for a while and said, "I kind of think about it, but I don't want to try it now," she said as she shook her wrist. The pitcher plant floating on it was really excited, and it was acting like a dog in mid-air Plane, "Let's try again when we get home."

The White Queen: "At that time, I can also drag you like this."

Lin Ning: "...well."

It's just that unforeseen circumstances prevented them from returning to Cornwall so soon.They originally planned to watch the Australian opal-eyed dragons (Australian opal-eyed dragons are called opal-eyed because their eyes have no pupils), but they learned in the Kangaroo Pocket Bar that because there was a male a few years ago The fire dragon was driven out of the territory and attacked a large number of kangaroos under the extreme hunger. It was also seen by many Muggles. The Australian Ministry of Magic set up a quarantine area and was guarded by a special department.Lin Ning is not so good to go to watch in such a naked way. Besides, the fire dragons like the Australian Opaleye are not only found in Australia. There are all kinds of fire dragons in the fire dragon sanctuary in Romania, where wizards can get up close Research all kinds of dragons.

Lin Ning thinks she can go there, and maybe she can cooperate with the person in charge of the Fire Dragon Reserve.

And the accident happened when they were about to go home.

"Look what we found, a fat sheep."

The man with the dirty bandages on his head from the Kangaroo Pocket Bar appeared in front of Lin Ning and the others, and said very maliciously.The eyes under the bandages revealed thick malice, the woman who was suspected of being a vampire with him before disappeared, and was replaced by another man wrapped in black. He did not cover his face, but his arms Wrapping around a big snake with three heads is enough to show what kind of guy he is.

Lin Ning: "No."

The White Queen just glanced at them and then looked away.

As for their "t"?The pitcher plant has let itself go.

The man with the straps opened his mouth again: "Little white face, are you scared out of your wits?"

Lin Ning said slowly: "Can I ask you a question? Don't all of you black wizards want to write 'Dark Wizard' on your face?"

Bandage man: "What?"

The man who kept the rune snake as a pet was also taken aback. Before he could say anything, the rightmost head of the rune snake hissed impatiently.

Lin Ning said naturally: "It is saying that it is fed up with the garlic smell on your body, you body odor man. Wait, you don't dislike his body odor, only the garlic smell on him. Or do you dislike his fox odor? The smell, and the smell of garlic on his body?"

Bandage man: "!!"

The snake man: "!!"

The White Queen glanced at the rune snake, then looked up at the pitcher plants still floating in the sky, pursed her lips slightly.

Barry McMillan is an editor at Bloomberry Press who has been employed for less than three years. His usual job is to find manuscripts with publication value and potential for publication from a large number of submissions.He likes this job very much. It feels like panning for gold in the waves. Of course, most of the time he goes back and forth in the waves. There are only so many new books published, and their publishing house can only be said to be famous in the local area.Above them are big publishing houses such as Hachette Publishing Group and Random House UK, etc., which occupy a relatively large market share. Generally speaking, Bloomberry Press can only be said to be the second echelon. .

But this does not affect Barry McMillan's love for his job.

Especially lately he felt he had struck gold in a manuscript titled The Adventures of Greenwood by its author.At first Barry McMillan thought the title was really "plain" and was not shocked at all. Nevertheless, Barry Macmillan showed his professionalism and prepared to read the first two chapters first.For an experienced editor like him, most of the time, the quality of a manuscript can be seen in the first two chapters, no, Chapter 1.Only the first two chapters can attract editors to continue reading, then this manuscript has passed the "primary selection", and then there will be editor-in-chief and even marketing manager to check it. After all, the most important thing for their publishing house is to improve Turnover, strive to occupy more market share, so as to be able to develop in a good direction.

Having said that, Barry McMillan opened the "Adventure Green" (Adventure Green) under such a situation of mixed thoughts, and then the speed of flipping through it became slower and slower, and his attention became more and more concentrated.When he was called back to his senses by his colleagues, he realized that the off-duty time had come, and the other editors in the office were basically gone.

"Are you okay?" the colleague asked.

"I, I have to go to the toilet." Barry McMillan picked up the book and moved into the bathroom with difficulty - he didn't move much, and it's good that he didn't have "whole body paralysis".Then Barry McMillan stayed in the toilet for 10 minutes. During these 10 minutes, he quickly read the whole book again. It's perfect, no grammatical errors, no seemingly misspelled words, doesn't look like it was written by a novice.

It's just that the author's name is "g.rlkhart", and Barry McMillan didn't think of any well-known author with such an abbreviation.However, in any case, this book is definitely worthy of publication, and seeing that the protagonist Greenwood in the last book embarks on a journey again, we know that the author wants to write this story as a series of stories.

The series of stories is good, and the series of stories is wonderful.

Barry McMillan lifted his pants and came out of the bathroom. He didn't care too much, and went directly to the marketing manager, only to find that he had left work early because of something.Barry McMillan thought about it and went directly to other people's homes, no, no, he had to contact the author first, knowing that many authors would oversubmit a manuscript!

He has to hurry up!

Barry McMillan was unable to find a contact number on the manuscript, only an address.He scratched his head, and could only write to the address. While waiting for a reply, Barry McMillan sent "The Adventure of Greenwood" to the marketing manager while anxiously waiting for a reply. In the end, he couldn't wait any longer, so he drove to the contact address on the envelope, 12 Wigmore Street.

Coincidentally, Barry McMillan drove to Wigmore Street and saw the postman drop the letter into the mailbox of No. 12 apartment building from a distance.He recognized that it was a letter written by him. It seemed that it was delivered only after a day, and he should have come here in person if he knew it earlier.After thinking about it, it is true that he came here in person to show his sincerity.

After thinking this way, Barry McMillan parked the car and thought about opening the mailbox and taking out the letters inside.What made him dumbfounded was that the mailbox was empty.

Barry Macmillan: "???"

Looking again, there was still nothing, but he clearly saw the postman delivering the letter.

Barry Macmillan: 'Who am I?where am iwhat am i doing '
