Chapter 514 Docter: Hals’s Strength and Scheming Are Unfathomable (Two in One)
Speechless, Docter quickly accepted it.
He had also heard about special Animagus. He heard that a young girl who was participating in Auror training was a Disguise Magus that was different from ordinary people. She could change her appearance at will without the need for acquired learning.
Although Ivan's transformation seems to be more special than this
Asia was not too entangled in Ivan's transformation ability. After a brief surprise, she looked at Docter and asked about the business.
"Doggart, where is the wizard from the Nott family that we captured from the manor? Is he willing to tell us?"
"That guy was tough-talking and didn't want to say anything. I knocked him out and used Veritaserum to get him to speak." Docter sneered, explained, and then continued to add.
"But he still has a bit of use value. This kind of die-hard element can be used to establish power for little Ivan!"
I? Establish authority? Ivan was confused, and for a moment he had no idea what Docter was talking about.
"You did a good job before. You successfully shocked them as soon as you came back. This saved us a lot of worry." Doggett looked at Ivan with great appreciation.
In addition to planning how to crush the last resistance force in Knockturn Alley these days, he and Asia have been discussing the most about how to create an opportunity for Ivan to integrate into this group!
After all, Ivan is too young to convince the public.
No one is willing to obey the words of a thirteen or fourteen year old kid, let alone loyalty.
He and Asia even began to discuss whether to delay for a few years before bringing Ivan to the forefront.
However, Ivan's performance exceeded Docter's expectations. Before they could discuss a specific plan, Ivan did it on his own, and it was even better than they imagined!
The bloodstains on the ground, the four black wizards who were frightened to the point of collapse, and Ivan's immature figure, the shock caused by this contrast is enough to be remembered!
When he saw this scene, Docter suspected that this was done deliberately by Ivan to show off his power. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
The only thing that made Doggett feel a little regretful was that Ivan didn't let everyone see with their own eyes how he did it.
Although this adds a bit of mystery to him and makes people more fearful, there will always be people who doubt whether a young wizard can have such extraordinary strength, so strike while the iron is hot and establish your authority again. , it is very important to crush these people’s illusions.
While thinking about it, Docter took out a piece of parchment that had been prepared from the pocket of the wizard's robe and handed it to Ivan.
"I've written everyone's information here, you can take a look first!" Docter said.
Ivan took it and took a look and found that the parchment was full of names, thirty-seven in total. The general information of these people, either detailed or brief, is also thoughtfully marked next to the names, and the names of Fullen and others are also on it.
Ivan immediately understood that these people were Asia's team against the wizard market!
Although thirty-seven people are not many, you must know that even the Auror Department of the Ministry of Magic cannot gather a hundred people, and most of them are wizards who cannot even use the Iron Armor Curse freely.
In the entire British magical world, there are only about 3,000 wizards registered by the Ministry of Magic, and the number of unregistered dark wizards is less than 4,000!
Of course, this is mainly because the last Wizarding War lasted for more than ten years and too many wizards died.
Some pure-blood families that have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years have only a few living members, and even face the dilemma of extinguishing their heirs immediately after the death of their heirs, not to mention those wizards from mixed-blood and Muggle families, whose entire families have been eaten. It’s not like there weren’t all the Dead Apostles killed.
Thinking of this, Ivan couldn't help but shook his head. The number of wizards was really small, and the most critical replenishment was also very slow. One by one would die!
Ivan then turned to the back of the parchment. There were also several names written here, which should be the four surrendered dark wizards and the die-hard member of the Nott family.
What surprised Ivan was that in addition to these people, there was another person's name written in black ink underneath.
"Elver-Glint" Ivan read out. He remembered that Walker had called Elver before, so he looked at Asia and confirmed. "Is he the victim?"
"Yes, that's him!" Asia nodded, feeling helpless. This was already the third victim in the past few months.
If she hadn't equipped everyone with a protective ring, I'm afraid more people would have died.
"It says that he still has family members in Knockturn Alley?" Ivan noticed that it said that Elf Grint also had a mother who was over sixty years old.
"Well, this family has been living in poverty in Knockturn Alley, so when we recruited people, Elf was one of the first to join." Docter was not moved. Such people in Knockturn Alley are too too much,
"Is there a pension?" Ivan continued to ask.
"If the victim still has living relatives, we usually give 100 Galleons as a pension!" Asia explained.
"A little less." Ivan shook his head. After staying in the magical world for several years, he also had a general understanding of the prices here.
Judging from the information he learned from Lupin, the salary of a handyman like Filch at Hogwarts is ten galleons a week, which is about forty galleons a month.
The professor is higher, sixty galleons a month, and if you can become the dean, you can get another ten galleons a month!
In the original time and space, when Dumbledore hired Dobby, he initially planned to pay Dobby the same salary as Filch. This shows that the old professor really treated everyone equally and did not regard Dobby as an elf.
But these are very respectable jobs, the kind where you work in an educational institution and get food and accommodation included!
If it were in Diagon Alley, a normal employee would only have about thirty to fifty Galleons a month, and they wouldn't be able to save much money after excluding expenses.
The salary given in Knockturn Alley is even less. People can be hired for more than ten Galleons or even several Galleons. The compensation of one hundred Galleons is relatively saving in Knockturn Alley, which is enough for more than a year.
Flan and others are a good example. They are happy enough to find a relatively stable job of ten galleons per month, because it means they can eat several full meals every day!
But this little money is obviously not enough for a mother who has lost her child to survive in Knockturn Alley.
"Yes! It's a little less!" Docter nodded in agreement, and then suggested that Ivan could give double or even higher pensions this time.
After all, you can't just intimidate your subordinates. After giving them a blow, you should give them some sweeteners so that these people can see real protection.
Docter was surprised that Ivan could quickly realize this. He originally thought he needed to be reminded.
Asia didn't mean to object. She deliberately didn't deal with Elf before just so that Ivan could show her favor.
While the three of them were chatting, there was another knock on the door. This time it was Fulen, who came to inform them that all the people had arrived and were waiting in the meeting hall.
"Okay, we'll go down right away!" Doc nodded, then turned his head to look at Ivan and Asia and said softly. "If you have anything to say, it's best to hurry up and don't keep them waiting for too long."
After saying that, Docter followed Fulen downstairs.
After a few words of advice, Asia also pulled Ivan and walked away.
"Mom, are you going to let me manage these people?" While going down the stairs, Ivan hesitated for a long time and couldn't help but ask.
He is not a fool. The underlying meaning in the words of Asia and Dogget just now is very obvious, without any concealment. Ivan can naturally see that Asia intends to let him manage and command these more than thirty subordinates.
But Ivan is more aware of how little he weighs. In his previous life, apart from being a class cadre when he was in school, Ivan had no experience in managing people at all.
Now I suddenly need to manage more than thirty people, most of whom are restless wizards, which makes Ivan a little overwhelmed.
"Relax, just do what you want, it will be great like what you did before!" Asia saw Ivan's nervousness and couldn't help but comfort him.
If possible, she didn't want to put too much pressure on Ivan, but since her child had such thoughts, she could only give encouragement.
But Asia believes that these small scenes are nothing to Ivan. He is always so smart!
Just like that, he walked all the way downstairs to the outside of the meeting hall. Aisia let go of Ivan's hand and reminded him softly in a lowered voice. "We're going in!"
Ivan felt very anxious and worried that he would mess things up.
Especially after entering the meeting hall, more than thirty pairs of eyes looked at him with surprise, doubt, amusement, gratitude, etc. Ivan's pressure became even greater.
This was different from when he was pretending to be Dumbledore, when he had to face some young children and professors he was very familiar with.
The slightly more troublesome Fugui also knew how to deal with the Minister of Magic, but this time it was different. He had to put himself on the level of a leader to deal with these strange wizards.
Fortunately, the acting skills he had practiced for many years came into play. Ivan was nervous but did not show any timidity on his face. He walked straight to the main seat and sat down.
What should I say now? Want to say hello? How to say it specifically?
After Ivan sat down and faced everyone, he didn't know how to speak for a while. He tried to think about what Dumbledore and Voldemort did in the original time and space, but in the end he found that there was no corresponding scene.
Ivan slowly tapped the armrest of his seat with his fingers. He was silent for a while, and his eyes involuntarily swept over everyone on the field.
Combined with the parchment he had seen before, Ivan vaguely discovered that the more than thirty people in front of him could be divided into three camps.
The first is the werewolf wizard headed by Fulen. There are seven people in total. They rely on the improved wolfsbane potion. They are the most trustworthy among those people!
Then came Docter and his friends, eleven in all. Most of these people are not short of money. They may come here just for Docter's sake and may not necessarily follow orders. They may be the most difficult group of people to deal with.
Finally, there are the people that Asia has recently recruited in Knockturn Alley. They have the largest number, and a few months are not enough for them to have a sense of belonging. They are more like mercenaries who are paid to do things, and are very unstable.
Ivan couldn't help but feel worried when he saw this. He didn't know how powerful the wizard market and those pure-blood families were, but Asia needed to summon so many people to fight against it, so it must not be easy to deal with!
No wonder Asia needs her own help to establish her power, it's probably because she is powerless and unable to integrate them.
While Ivan was thinking in his mind, more than thirty wizards below were also looking at Ivan who was sitting in the main seat.
From time to time someone lowered their voice and whispered.
"Doggart, he is the Ivan Hals you told us about. He looks younger than you said!" A wizard in his thirties glanced at Ivan for a few times and then turned his head. Come and say to Docter.
"I think you should know that age is not a problem, Gleason!" Docter glanced at him, and then continued sadly.
"Hals's strength and scheming are unfathomable and even far surpass that person! As long as you have been in contact with him for a period of time, you will be glad you made your choice."
Docter looked at Ivan in the main seat and sighed with emotion. This child was really elusive. He exceeded his expectations every time he met, and his strength remained the same every year.
He previously thought that it would take at least ten years for Ivan to become a powerful wizard like Voldemort. Now that he thinks about it, he may have underestimated this child. Maybe when he reaches adulthood, he will be as powerful as the Dark Lord!
After listening to Docter's words, Gleason immediately planned to refute. He had experienced the Wizarding War fourteen years ago and knew very well how terrifying the mysterious man was.
It is ridiculous to say that a little devil can defeat Voldemort!
But before refuting, Gleason suddenly remembered what he had just learned from several friends. If the little wizard in front of him could really defeat a group of dark wizards by himself, then what would Doggett say? It's not wrong either.
At least Ivan has the potential to rival the Dark Lord!
In the conference hall, the voices of whispering became louder and louder.
Ivan frowned, and just as he was about to use the topic as an excuse, the side door of the conference hall was opened again.
Everyone's attention was attracted for a moment, but it was Walker who walked in with several surrendered dark wizards and another wizard wearing a gorgeous robe.
After the black wizards saw Ivan, they knelt down in fear, tearfully accusing themselves of their sins and trying to beg Ivan for forgiveness.
The wizard stood there proudly, with a very disdainful expression. He was slightly surprised when he looked at Ivan sitting on the main seat. He opened his mouth to say something but couldn't make a sound.
Ivan could tell at a glance that he was under a forbidden spell, so he motioned to Doggett to unlock the spell. He was actually interested in hearing what the other party had to say.
