Chapter 1003 A New Beginning (2)

Hearing this, Ivan couldn't help but pause in his steps, with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

Grindelwald wants to turn Muggles into wizards?

Why?

Ivan was a little confused at first, but after thinking about the other party's situation, he quickly came up with a guess.

Since his resurrection, Grindelwald has always wanted to build a world where wizards are supreme. However, judging from the huge base of Muggles and their technological power, trying to achieve this simply by force is a fantasy. Crooked ways have become necessary.

If a potion could be developed that turned Muggles into wizards, then Grindelwald would be able to gain the support and recognition of most of the top Muggles, turning his most difficult enemies into allies that could be easily won over.

Although some of Grindelwald's ideas are too extreme for Ivan, it is foreseeable that the invention of this potion will certainly ease the conflict between wizards and Muggles to a great extent.

Because then the growth of wizards will not only rely on blood inheritance and accidents in the Muggle community, but will become a power that everyone can obtain!

Thinking of this, Ivan asked eagerly. "Did he succeed?"

Fulen hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say, but at this moment another voice rang.

"In fact we are half successful..."

Ivan turned his head and looked over. The person who spoke was a fat, bald old man. He was walking out of the room marking the research room with about ten people, with a kind smile on his face.

"Horace Slughorn?!" Ivan rummaged through Dumbledore's memories in his mind, and soon understood the identity of the man in front of him - one of the greatest potions masters in England, who was in the original time and space. In Harry's sixth year, he became the Potions Professor Horace Slughorn.

"Ah, what an honor! I didn't expect that the president would recognize me..." Slughorn was surprised and a little surprised that Ivan recognized him at a glance. He didn't expect that he was so famous in England. , even the newly appointed president of the League of Nations knows about it.

Of course, it is also possible that Ivan has read the information of these arrested persons, but the extremely vain Slughorn simply ignored this possibility and held Ivan's hand tightly with joy. grateful.

In his opinion, Ivan must have gotten the news and came to rescue them with so many Aurors in storming the French Ministry of Magic.

The remaining potion masters obviously thought so too, and expressed their gratitude to Ivan one by one.

This time it was Ivan who was embarrassed, because the goal of this operation was actually to destroy the Horcruxes and kill Grindelwald. Even before coming, he had never thought that Horace Slughorn and others would be killed. Locked up here.

Fortunately, after so many years of hard work, Ivan has already developed the ability to talk to people and talk to ghosts. He accepted everyone's thanks without blushing at all, and then pretended that he was collecting intelligence. , It took a lot of time to formulate tactics, so it was really hard for them to delay coming to rescue until now.

Horace Slughorn expressed his understanding.

They already knew how brutal this battle was from Foulen. In order to save them, nearly half of the wizards were injured and killed, and Grindelwald secretly captured and imprisoned them in the French Ministry of Magic. The only one who knew this information was Grindelwald. It is not easy for Ivan and others to find Wo's confidants.

Ivan exchanged a few pleasantries, but did not dare to talk more on this topic, lest he accidentally reveal his secrets. Then he turned to look at the Muggles who were lying on the hospital bed and kept wailing, and asked. "Tell me, what is that potion about?"

"This starts from when we were attacked half a year ago..." Horace Slughorn pondered for a while, then slowly started to explain. It was around the beginning of this year, when the news of Voldemort's death had just been confirmed. He happily returned home but was attacked by a group of saints who appeared out of nowhere.

These ungentlemanly bastards directly used magic spells to knock him out and carry him away. When he woke up, he appeared here and saw many of his colleagues who had also been kidnapped. Then Grindelwald ordered They conduct various cruel potion experiments, trying to create a potion that can turn Muggles into wizards.

"We naturally rejected Grindelwald's proposal without hesitation, but in the next month he used various means to torture us, even killing Master Goode, who resisted the most fiercely, and used his family as a threat , forcing us to do things for him..." Horace Slughorn spoke bitterly of his tragic experience during his imprisonment, repeatedly emphasizing that they had no choice but to join this kind of madness. Potion experiment.

Ivan looked at these potion masters suspiciously. They didn't look like they had been abused at all.

In addition, in his impression, Slughorn definitely did not have such noble sentiments, otherwise he would not have touched upon the taboo knowledge of Horcruxes in the first place.

However, since Grindelwald chose to put these people under house arrest in the research room, it at least shows that they have not completely surrendered to the Saints. Coupled with the identities of these human medicine masters, Ivan hesitated for a while and quickly made a decision. Patted Slughorn and said with a smile.

"I understand what you mean, Master Slughorn. The real murderer of these people is Grindelwald, and you are also one of the victims..."

With the assurance of Ivan's words, Slughorn and the others finally felt relieved, and then introduced their development results to Ivan.

After thousands of human experiments, they successfully developed a potion that allowed Muggles to obtain magic power at low risk, but the effect was not significant. The test subjects who took the potion performed almost like a squib, empty. He has magic power but cannot cast magic smoothly.

Ivan didn't care about this. Being able to achieve such results in just half a year was enough to prove that this path was definitely feasible. What was lacking was just a lot of research and experiments.

"What is the success rate of the experiment?" Ivan lowered his voice and asked directly. Although Grindelwald's research was cruel, he was not prepared to waste the research results now that he had them.

Slughorn glanced at Ivan in surprise, but immediately realized that the other person did not hate evil as much as the Daily Prophet said, so he simply stopped pretending to be a righteous person and spoke excitedly. "It's about 70%. If a wizard with healing magic is around, the success rate can be increased to 100%, and it will basically not fail."
