Chapter 346 The Increasingly Thinning Bock

"I'm really starving to death!" Docter hurried to the round table, grabbed a piece of bacon and fried egg and stuffed it into his mouth, and then drank a large bowl of polenta.

Ivan didn't care to talk to Walker anymore and asked aloud.

"Dean Docter, how's it going?"

"It's pretty much what I expected! Although the Ministry of Magic attaches great importance to this incident, it is just a show and cannot cause any trouble. They are still having a headache about how to deal with the account book. Maybe they are just discussing and holding a meeting. Just a month or two," Docter waved his hand casually and explained.

Ivan was completely relieved. He didn't know when the Ministry of Magic had finished its meeting, so there would be no time to track them down.

But Ivan was very curious about Doggett’s source.

They raided the Borgin Burke Magic Shop late last night. Even if the Auror stayed up all night and rushed to the scene of the incident, it would only have taken less than half a day.

Docter was able to get accurate information so quickly, and he didn't know which high-ranking official from the Ministry of Magic he had bribed.

"By the way, what about Borkin's Magic Store? What are the Ministry of Magic going to do with it?" Ivan asked, remembering that Borkin's Magic Store seemed to be vacant now.

He felt that the location of Bojin Bock's store was quite good. It was at the junction of Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, and it was also the transit point of Knockturn Alley.

More importantly, Ivan knew that there was a damaged disappearing cabinet in the Bojinbok Magic Shop, from which he could be teleported directly to Hogwarts.

In the original time and space, a large number of Death Eaters entered Hogwarts Castle through there, triggering the Battle of the Astronomy Tower.

If possible, Ivan still hopes to control this place.

Docter saw Ivan's thoughts, hesitated, shook his head and advised.

"Don't think about that magic shop. Many people are plotting against it now! It's just that in their opinion, Bock is missing instead of dead, so they haven't taken action yet. We can just watch the battle and let them go dog-eat-dog!"

Ivan felt a little pity, but he didn't care too much. After all, the most valuable thing in the magic shop was the knowledge about making magic items, and they could still get this.

After a hurried breakfast, Ivan sneaked away while Asia and Hermione were still chatting, so as not to be caught and severely criticized by Asia. By the way, I went to the market in Diagon Alley to buy some potion ingredients and a crucible, and started brewing a veritaserum.

As a high-level magic potion, Veritaserum is not easy to make.

Fortunately, Ivan's potion level has now been raised to a very high level, and this is not the first time he has made truth serum, so he can naturally ensure the success rate of potion brewing.

After carefully grinding various potion materials with familiarity, Ivan added these processed potions one by one to the crucible, stirred and mixed them, and finally covered the crucible.

The brewing of high-level potions usually takes a long time, which cannot be rushed.

During the few days waiting for the Veritaserum to be completed, Ivan was not idle and began to study the "Decryption of Dark Arts" that Hermione had brought.

At the same time, he did not forget to remind Doggett, Fulen and others not to approach their magic shop at will, lest they be seen by Dobby and cause historical fluctuations.

It is also worth mentioning that the captured Bock behaved extremely toughly in the past few days. He said firmly that he would rather go on a hunger strike and starve to death than reveal any information!

Ivan would not be able to think about committing suicide when he was awake, so he could only refill Bock with a coma spell every day and let him sleep like this.

But Ivan has no good solution for the hunger strike.

After not eating or drinking for many days, Bock's body became thinner and thinner. Fortunately, just when he was about to starve to death, he finally finished brewing the truth serum.

Just when the potion was finished brewing, the system's beep sounded simultaneously.

[Ding, after a period of practice, your potions proficiency has improved, currently level 5 (1690/3200)! 】

Ivan glanced at his system bar. Because he had frequently used the time turner to study various courses and practice common spells, most of the spell levels displayed in the status bar had been raised to level five.

This means that even if the special blood magic is not included, his spell level is stronger than that of ordinary adult wizards. As for the strongest transformation spell, it is already close to level six.

Ivan took the boiled veritaserum and found Bock, who was locked up in the storage room and tied up tightly.

Over the past few days, Bock has long lost the charm he had when he first met. He is dirty, covered with dust and dirt, his cheeks are blue, and he is so thin that the outline of his face bones can be clearly seen. He lies there doing nothing but breathing. Besides, it is no different from a corpse.

Ivan pulled out his wand and lifted the coma spell on Bock. After waiting for a while, Bock's body moved and he opened his eyelids with difficulty.

Bock opened his eyes and looked around. A feeling of weakness enveloped his whole body. His stomach was empty and he felt very uncomfortable with hunger.

When he saw Ivan, there was a burst of hatred in Bock's eyes. At the same time, he also understood why Ivan still kept his life. It was just for the knowledge of alchemy.

Thinking of this, Bock glanced at Ivan weakly and said forcefully. "You'd better give up! I won't say anything!"

"Really?" Ivan curled his lips in disbelief, took out the Veritaserum from the wizard's robe, and in Bock's horrified eyes, opened his mouth and dropped a few drops of the potion on it.

Bock's frightened face slowly became calm, and his eyes lost focus.

Ivan tried to ask a few questions, and Bock answered them one by one, and also explained clearly the causes and consequences of the attack. It seemed that the Veritaserum was indeed working.

"Where is the library? I mean the books on the production of magic items." Ivan then got to the point and asked aloud.

"It's in the secret door in the right corner of the basement. The key to open it is the pendant hanging around my neck." Bock said blankly.

Ivan opened Bock's collar, and sure enough he saw a shining silver pendant around his neck, which looked like a small seal.

Ivan took off the pendant, then hesitated and continued to ask. "Is there anything I need to pay attention to when going there?"

Bock replied with a dull look.

"The library has been set with a light-avoiding spell, making it extremely dark inside. Once someone attempts to release lighting magic inside, the secret door will close in thirty seconds, and the interior of the library will turn into a sea of ​​fire, swallowing everything!"
