Chapter 522 Conquering the Rozier Family (2 in 1, 4000 Words)
Ivan looked at old Rozier playfully, knowing his plan clearly.
The so-called obsession with powerful magic is just an excuse. The other party's real intention is probably to verify his own strength. Obviously Doggett had boasted before, and Rozier Sr. was skeptical.
Although he knew this, Ivan held the wand and did not move, looking at old Rozier with an increasingly evil look.
"Sir Hals, I know that my request was very unexpected, so in order to express my apology, I am willing to offer some amends!" Old Rozier still looked humble and turned his head to glance at the house elf beside him. .
Under the signal from his eyes, the house elf took out a heavy bag and walked towards Ivan step by step. The bag shook and made a sound of metal collision. Apparently it contained gold Galleons.
Old Rozier's face was full of apologies, but his eyes were fixed on Ivan, observing his every move.
Naturally, he asked Ivan to show his magic because he wanted to see the little wizard's strength with his own eyes. After all, he was not a fool and could not be fooled into believing it after just listening to a few words from Doggett.
Moreover, he has been watching the actions of Doggett and others in the past few months. Old Rozier guessed that the other party's purpose is not just to control the wizard market, but may also have a bigger conspiracy!
Once the opponent's goal of rectifying Knockturn Alley is achieved, the Ministry of Magic will never sit idly by, so it becomes very important to confirm Ivan's strength.
If Doggett had not deceived himself before, and Ivan's strength was indeed comparable to that of the Dark Lord, then the magic world would definitely undergo a major reshuffle. As the first batch of veteran members of the Rozier family to join the other side, they would definitely be able to Hence the profit.
If Ivan was not as powerful as Docter said, and was just a young wizard with some talent, he would not be with him. Even if he lost the properties in the wizard market, it would still be better than losing his fortune and life in the future!
Of course, this temptation is not without risks, and it is very likely to anger the little wizard in front of you.
This is why he put down his face and negotiated in a low profile. Coupled with the apology and the information in his mind, he was more than 70% sure that the other party would not kill him!
If he is unlucky and encounters the remaining 30% chance, then he will have no choice but to run away!
Only in this regard, old Rozier was extremely confident. He had practiced phantom transference very well and could successfully perform it in various extreme situations.
And he was prepared from the beginning. While complying with the rules and coming alone to show his sincerity, he also brought a house elf with him!
In the general view of wizards, house elves are just slaves and do not count as heads. They will not arouse the other party's dislike. This is considered a loophole in the rules.
In a crisis situation, this house elf can resist him for a while, leaving him enough time to cast spells.
Old Rozier was making calculations in his mind, calculating everything clearly and feeling complacent.
However, things would not develop as he expected. After the house elf had taken a few steps holding the purse, Ivan's indifferent voice suddenly rang out.
"Mr. Rozier, I think you may have forgotten something. Not everything can be measured by money. But if you want to see it, it's not that I can't satisfy you."
Ivan's face turned cold, wondering if the other party had lost his mind, or did the pure-blood concept really mean that money could solve everything?
Do you have the guts to try it in front of Voldemort? Pay a sum of money for the Dark Lord to perform a spell on you?
My head has been blown off your head!
From this point, he was sure that old Rozier had never seen Voldemort, otherwise he would not have said such a stupid thing.
Ivan is not that cruel, and he doesn't care about using high-intensity magic to intimidate, but he understands that he must take the initiative and not act according to the other party's requirements.
While speaking, Ivan had quietly activated the enhanced magic text sequence in the wand, holding the wand in his right hand and slashing it through the air!
An invisible magic blade extended forward like a broad scimitar.
Ivan didn't recite the spell because he didn't need it. After years of practice, Shen Feng Wuying had already been promoted to level six. Casting spells silently was easy for Ivan.

Along with a slight sound,
Not far ahead, the bag that the house elf had been holding was cut open by something. The gold galleons inside were scattered around, and some of the gold coins could be vaguely cut into two pieces.
Before these heavy gold galleons landed, the magic blade crossed a distance of several meters and arrived in front of old Rozier.
As early as when Ivan said those words, old Rozier's expression changed. He knew that he was self-defeating, and he immediately wanted to use phantom to leave here.
But he obviously overestimated his ability to escape. When old Rozier raised his wand, the magic blade had already passed by him, and there were bursts of pain in his abdomen, as if he had been stabbed by a needle. generally.
"Apparition!" Old Rozier roared, waving his wand regardless, and chanted the spell as fast as he could.
However, nothing happened. Old Rozier still stood where he was, with only the sound of jingling gold Galleons scattered on the ground echoing in his ears.
He looked down dullly, and then he was horrified to find that the wand in his hand had been cut into two pieces at some point. The cut was smooth and round, as if it had been cut open by a sharp blade and carefully polished.

At this time, there was a heart-wrenching sound of cutting again from behind. Old Rozier subconsciously turned his head and looked over. A large section of tall bushes had been cut off, and a thick tree next to it had also been cut off. After a moment, he staggered and fell to the ground, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust.
Wherever he could see, it was about a fan-shaped area, and the heights of all objects were surprisingly the same, so flat that it was a bit scary.
Old Rozier swallowed hard. He understood that Ivan did not miss the target, but deliberately let him go. If this attack was aimed at him, he would fight with him before he could react. The tree was also cut into two pieces.
What frightened old Rozier even more was that such an attack could not be seen or touched at all, and its penetrating power was extremely wide. He was very sure that even if he had prepared protective measures in advance, it would be penetrated instantly and there would be no way to resist it. !
With just this blow, Old Rozier confirmed that what Doggett said was true. He had never seen the Dark Lord cast a spell, but thinking about it, it was probably not too far off.
Thinking of this, old Rozier was ready to give in. If Ivan didn't kill him immediately, it meant that there was still a chance for things to ease. The question was how much price it would cost.
But when he turned around, he saw the house elf he had brought brazenly attacking Ivan.
"Stop! You idiot!" Old Rozier was stunned and let out a heart-rending cry.
His wand had just been cut off by Ivan, which meant that he had completely lost the ability to resist. If the house elf he brought accidentally hurt the little wizard in front of him, he would be dead!
There was no possibility of escape.
But Old Rozier was obviously a step slower. The house elf had already stretched out his hand, and a dazzling beam of light flew out from his fingers and struck directly towards Ivan.
Ivan's expression did not change, and he instantly activated the protective ring on his right hand. Without any movement, the magic beam returned the same way and knocked away the house elf standing there.
Before Ivan could continue to punish him, old Rozier pounced forward, strangled the house elf's neck with both hands, and said in a mad rage.
"You despicable bastard, who gave you the courage to attack Mr. Hals?!"
Old Rozier's face was extremely ferocious. He didn't spare any effort and wanted to strangle the house elf to death to calm Ivan's anger.
Without the magic wand, he could only use this most primitive method!
Although old Rozier was old and frail, he still had strength. The house elf had been rebounded by his own spell, and now it was strangled by the neck. His face was blue and purple, and his eyes the size of light bulbs were about to stare. Out.
And that ugly, wrinkled face was filled with confusion and confusion.
The house elf obviously didn't understand what it had done wrong. It acted completely according to Old Rozier's instructions. Before coming, Old Rozier had ordered it to attack the enemy in times of crisis in order to fight for its master's escape. some time.
At this moment, old Rozier had obviously forgotten his original instructions, or he simply didn't want to think about it and blamed all the blame on the house elf.
Just when the house elf was about to lose his voice, Ivan's voice came again.
"Stop it! What a clumsy trick!"
Old Rozier's hands trembled, and he did not dare to disobey Ivan's instructions. He let go of the fainted house elf, and then he did not dare to stand up, so he knelt and crawled in front of Ivan, begging.
"Sir Hals, please give me a chance. I am willing to pay enough to exchange for your understanding."
"No need to talk nonsense. Where is the information I want?" Ivan interrupted old Rozier. This kind of person has too many thoughts and is not easy to control.
If that information was useless, old Rozier would have no need to live.
Old Rozier's body trembled and he quickly continued.
"Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, a secret meeting will be held in the underground secret room of the Wizard's Market. All of us will be there by then. Anti-Apparition magic has been cast there. As long as you can seal the entrance and exit, no one can escape. !”
"Are you sure?" Ivan raised his eyebrows. If this is really the case, it is a good piece of information.
The fact that the wizard can apparate gives him a headache, because it means that it is difficult to capture. Even if he finds the opponent's location, the opponent may have escaped before he can break in.
It is not impossible to forcefully invade the wizard market and occupy it, but it may cause some damage. Secondly, the members of the pure-blood families who have not completely solved the problem may cause some trouble in the future.
"Tell me what the purpose of your gathering is? Why did you choose that place?" Ivan asked.
Although old Rozier seemed to be very frightened and there was no possibility of lying, Ivan had to act cautiously. What if this was a trap?
No matter how small the possibility is, he still has to be on guard.
"This gathering was proposed by the Nott family. We have lost too many people in the past two days, which is completely beyond expectations, so this time Old Nott wants to bring us all together to discuss the next response strategy.
The location was chosen in the underground secret room of the wizard market because it was safe enough and heavily protected. Coupled with the anti-Apparition magic, there was no need to worry about being suddenly broken in. "
Facing Ivan's inquiry, old Rozier did not dare to hide anything. He told everything he knew like pouring beans into a bamboo tube. He also tremblingly took out a map from his arms and trembled slightly. handed it over
"This is a map of the underground secret room. It was built by several of our families together. All the secret passages and entrances and exits are drawn on it." Old Rozier added.
Ivan took a look at the map and found that this underground secret room was quite large. It had complete lounges, meeting rooms, and residences. It also had many passes. It was like a small fortress. No wonder I will choose to hold the rally here.
Without the traitor Old Rozier as an internal agent, it would not be easy to capture them, and catching everyone without missing a beat would be impossible.
"Very good, yes, I feel your sincerity." Ivan put the map away and looked at old Rozier with a gentler gaze.
What he lacks most now is time. Soon he will leave Knockturn Alley for an appointment to meet Nick LeMay. It is impossible to stay here for a long time. Old Rozier has now given him a way to completely eliminate those pure-blood families. It's a great opportunity, and you don't have to worry about subsequent troubles.
Hearing what Ivan said, old Rozier finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his life was saved.
However, Ivan had no intention of letting him go so easily, and forced old Rozier to make a magic contract to ensure that the other party would not suddenly regret it or make any small moves.
For such a cunning coward, Ivan feels that only a magical contract can make the other party more reliable.
Old Rozier didn't have the guts to refuse. His life was now entirely in Ivan's hands, and he had no bargaining power at all.
After explaining some things and agreeing on a time for the raid, Ivan glanced at the golden galleons scattered on the ground.
There seemed to be at least five hundred of them, and they were so golden that they were dazzling in the sun.
Ivan never thought that old Rozier would be willing to pay five hundred galleons to watch him perform magic once. This is really "sincerity".
Theoretically, he had satisfied Old Rozier's second condition, and the money was already his. However, in order to maintain his aloof image, Ivan could only sadly give up this plan.
There was no way anyone could make him lose the dignity to pick it up!
