Hogwarts: Bloodline Legend

Chapter 661 186: Merlin Medal! Harry's Anomaly! (Part 2)

In the glazed cup emitting cold air nearby, there was frosted blueberry jam, so icy that even a lion would probably lose a few teeth.

The smoked salmon closest to the cup was frozen solid and doing the waltz.

"The house-elves have obviously gotten creative..." Ian felt a bit guilty about the scene, as he often encouraged the house-elves to innovate.

The dinner last night was still quite traditional, but today these house-elves have let loose, perhaps wanting to show the little wizards their holiday achievements.

The clever William had already put down his utensils.

"Maybe I could write a letter to inquire with my family." He took out a magic camera Ian had given him and snapped several photos of Ian's crystal ball.

Ian didn't stop him.

However, he didn't think it was a good idea either.

"It seems I'll have to wait until the lunch break to ask Professor Nicolas Flamel." Ian tried injecting some magic power into the crystal ball.

But this only made the ball glow a bit brighter.

Just as he stopped trying.

"Flap~ flap~"

The hall was suddenly filled with the sound of wings flapping.

Hundreds of owls swooped down through the magical sky.

"Oh no!"

Michael, who had finally chosen the only tasty red date bread, had it smashed by a greyish package, letting out a desperate cry.

William hurriedly protected his oatmeal.

However.

This was clearly unnecessary.

He didn't receive any package.

Instead, Ian, who believed he wasn't likely to receive any package, found a snowy owl hovering above the Ravenclaw table.

In its beak was a gold-plated envelope, dripping crimson wax.

Seeing the letter being dropped.

Ian swiftly reached out and caught it, preventing it from falling into the dish and being contaminated by the burnt chili oil—those house-elves had definitely overcooked the chili oil.

"This envelope is really gold-plated."

Ian turned the letter over with interest.

Beside him.

William's eyes widened.

"Holy moly! It's a letter from the Merlin Knight Order!" His voice was loud, surpassing the surrounding chatter, causing many to hear his exclamation. Instantly, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes were on Ian. Suddenly, gasps ensued.

"By Merlin's beard! That's a letter from the Merlin Knight Order!" A little wizard's eyes widened, his fork unconsciously falling onto the plate with a clear sound.

"What exactly did he do? To warrant attention from the Merlin Knight Order!" Another little wizard, full of envy, spoke with curiosity and admiration for Ian.

"Didn't you keep up with the news during the vacation?"

A senior began explaining to the little wizard, clearly one of Ian's fans, using various words of praise without any repetition.

This is absolutely hell-level difficulty in English structure.

"Oh my God! He didn't even brag! Instead, he was humble!" At the Gryffindor table, Hermione's mouth formed an O shape after hearing a vivid recount.

The disbelief was almost palpable.

"Uh..."

Truth be told.

Even with Ian's thick-skinned nature, being stared at by a crowd made him feel a bit uneasy, though not to the point of embarrassment, it did make him feel a tad uncomfortable.

[Dear Mr. Ian Prince:

As the morning light sweeps over the scales of the Black Lake for the third time, we are honored to inform you that the Merlin Knight Order's Special Review Committee has unanimously decided to award you the Level 1 Merlin Medal.

In the early spring of 1991, with extraordinary wisdom and fearless courage, you confronted the evil Dark Wizard. In that thrilling encounter, you excelled with superior magic skill and unwavering faith, successfully defeating the Dark Wizard, saving the school from significant losses, and preventing potential casualties.

Under the awarding clauses of the Merlin Code, this noble honor is a high recognition of your extraordinary courage and outstanding magic talent, as well as an encouragement and support for your heroic actions.

This nomination was personally proposed by Hogwarts' headmaster, Sir Albus Dumbledore.

Moreover, during the review process, a person of considerable importance in our Knight Order took particular note of your achievements and approved them. Although his identity cannot be disclosed at this time, it is fair to say that his support added considerable weight to your nomination.

The Merlin Medal is not only a personal honor but also a remembrance of your contributions to the Magic World. We hope you will continue to uphold the spirit of justice and bravery, contributing more to the peace and prosperity of the Magic World in the future. In seven days, we will send representatives to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to present you with the medal.

Merlin Knight Order Chief: Richard Goshak (Grand Chief of the Merlin Knight Order, Vice President of the International Magic Federation, Level 1 Merlin Medal holder)

Yours sincerely!]

The content of the letter was quite lengthy.

And it was deliberately written to include the review process.

Which is slightly different from the usual procedure.

It's as if someone was forcing Richard Goshak to write this way.
