Chapter 531 Legilimency!

Listening to Ivan's words, Docter was very disappointed.

Since Ivan asked this, it proved that he indeed wanted to recruit those pure-blood wizards, and it was basically inevitable for Rozier and others to form an alliance.

At this point, Docter can no longer express his objections clearly.

Because this is not all bad, with the help of these pure-blood wizards, many things will be much easier in the future, so Doggett said after thinking for a while.

"Rozier definitely has this ability. If you agree to his request, he can use this as a bargaining chip in front of those pure-blood wizards to ease the previous conflicts.

If he were smarter, it wouldn't be impossible to convince the captured pure-blood wizards to surrender and form a faction. As for him wanting to get rid of old Knott? That may be because Nott has a certain prestige among pure-blood wizards and will become an obstacle to him. "

Docter talked eloquently and guessed Rozier's thoughts.

Having said this, Docter hesitated for a moment, and then continued to make suggestions. "No matter what, Rozier is a rebel after all and may not be able to convince the crowd! You can stick a nail in them so that these people are under your control at any time."

Ivan nodded. Just as Docter said, some precautions are still needed.

Especially since Rozier and those pure-blood wizards had just joined, and they were enemies before, it would be bad if they colluded with each other to do something secretly.

Ivan, who has watched many Machiavellian dramas in his previous life, also understands the importance of mutual checks and balances.

However, Ivan did not agree to Doggett's proposal on the spot, and instead asked Doggett what he thought of Old Nott and how to deal with Old Nott.

After Doggett answered one by one, Ivan asked this guy to leave. He needed to think about it alone.

Although he didn't get an accurate answer from Ivan, Docter seemed very happy when he left. He knew very well that Ivan should have approved his proposal, and his anxious heart immediately felt more at ease.

As long as those pure-blood wizards cannot truly unite, Rozier's threat to his status will be greatly reduced.

"It's so hard for me!" After Docter left the room, Ivan muttered to himself with a headache.

He has never been very interested in things like managing his subordinates and power struggles. He is also a complete dabbler and only acts based on the fragments of words he read in books in his previous life.

So much so that every time I sit in the chair and arrange things, I feel nervous, for fear that I will say something wrong.

It would be great if the system could quantify favorability and loyalty, allowing him to know who is loyal and who is up to no good.

No matter how bad it is, just let yourself know what everyone is thinking.

Ivan thought greedily and shouted a few words in his mind, but the system ignored his meaning.

Fortunately, Ivan quickly realized another substitute, the magic that is comparable to mind reading - Legilimency!

As long as you learn this, you can easily see through other people's thoughts. In Ivan's opinion, it is simply a magic spell that superiors must learn, a cheating device for managing complex interpersonal relationships!

Of course, Legilimency is not without its weaknesses. Normally, it can only read the surface thoughts of the other person. If you dig deeper into the memory, it will be easily detected by the person involved.

And there is a corresponding method of resistance, which is Occlumency!

Ivan is deeply touched by this. Occlumency can not only place a protective layer deep in the mind to resist the invasion of Legilimency, but can also create some false memories to confuse the other party.

In the original time and space, Snape relied on his superb Occlumency to repeatedly jump in front of two Legilimency masters and become a double undercover!

This proves that if a person is too superstitious about the information obtained from Legilimency, he will be deceived badly when he meets a master of Occlumency!

However, there are very few wizards in the British magic world who can master these two kinds of magic, and it is likely that they require certain talents.

Otherwise, only a few people would be able to use such a practical magic, so there is no need to worry about overturning when dealing with ordinary wizards.

Thinking of this, Ivan left the Bojinbok store without hesitation and went straight to his home library.

Since the last time all the books were moved out of Borgin Bock Magic Store, the volume of books here has become comparable to some pure-blood family library.

It took more than an hour for Ivan to dig out several books about Legilimency from the vast pile of books, and then he sat in the pile and read through them one by one.

It was like returning to the days of studying hard. For three days in a row, except for eating and sleeping, and meeting with Rozier once and agreeing to his request, Ivan spent the rest of his time studying Legilimency. superior.

This kind of magic to peer into other people's minds is much more difficult than the practice of Occlumency!

There is a lot of high-end knowledge involved, and the relevant books are basically compiled from antiques hundreds of years ago. They are not professionally deleted and refined like textbooks. As a result, there is a lot of nonsense, and it is still very profound and difficult to understand!

Maybe those old-timers think it looks more high-end to say things in a more convoluted way?

Ivan really couldn't figure it out, but he was waiting for the book "Legilimency - The Magic of Peering into the Mind" in his hand! "Close it, and the system's beep will sound.

[Ding, after a period of careful reading, my proficiency in Legilimency has slightly improved. 】

[Legilimency has been upgraded to level one, current proficiency (1/200). 】

Ivan glanced at the extra magic spells in the magic column. According to convention, being promoted to level one means that he can already use this kind of magic initially, but the degree of mastery is not high.

Being able to achieve this within three days was largely due to his superb level of Occlumency. The two magics have many similarities and are both related to memory and the mind.

The difference is that one is used on yourself and the other is used on others!

However, it is not that easy to continue to improve such a special magic. Just reading books will have little effect, and it requires a lot of practice!

Ivan eagerly put down the book in his hand, ready to try the effect of this magic. When he happened to turn his head, he saw a thin mouse sneaking through the library.

squeak squeak

The black-furred mouse was very keenly aware of Ivan's gaze, and its hair suddenly exploded, and it turned around quickly to escape.

"The mouse is flying!" Ivan slowly pulled out his wand and tapped it gently in mid-air.

The fleeing black mouse soon found himself flying suddenly while running, and then the surrounding scene quickly moved backwards.

It let out a piercing scream, and its limbs kept scratching in mid-air to no avail. After a moment, a big face appeared in front of it.

Ivan maintained his magic power to suspend the mouse in mid-air. In order to avoid contamination with germs, he did not touch it with his hands. He slowly used his magic power to rotate its body, keeping it looking at him.

Legilimency!

Ivan stared at the mouse and activated the magic. Slowly, some chaotic emotions appeared in Ivan's mind.

Afraid, nervous, fearful, confused

Although Ivan could analyze these from the mouse's curled up and trembling body, this time it was different. He seemed to really feel the other person's emotions.

"Legilimency! (Legilimency)"

Ivan directly recited the spell, increasing the intensity of the magic, and these emotions became clearer.

Unfortunately, it was limited to this. He could not directly see what the mouse was thinking by looking at each other, nor could he browse the other person's memory.

Ivan didn't know whether this was related to the person he chose, or whether it was because he was not good enough.

To confirm this, Ivan tried waving his wand and shouted again.

"Legilimency! (Legilimency)"

The moment Ivan recited the spell again, the black mouse's eyes suddenly widened and became extremely dull, and some incoherent memory fragments appeared in Ivan's mind.

No, he even felt like he had become that mouse, emerging from a dark, moist hole. He was very hungry and crawled out to find food.

Ivan stumbled suddenly and bumped into the cabinet at the back. The magic was immediately interrupted, and only some memories remained.

Ivan pressed his forehead, which was a little strange. According to the records in the book, Legilimency looks at a memory from the perspective of a bystander, and has minimal impact on himself, unlike himself.

Is it because I am very talented?

Ivan thought this way, Legilimency has the ability to perceive emotions and explore memories. When the two are mixed together, information can be obtained from the perspective of the subject in the scene constructed by memory.

But this is not a good thing. If you explore the memory too frequently, it will easily affect your emotions. If you have poor willpower, you may not be able to tell which memory is yours.

Ivan sighed. The magic of Legilimency might be more difficult to control than he thought.

What also disappoints him is that judging from the experiment just now, when Legilimency is not at a high level, if you want to explore the other party's thoughts and memories, you must use a wand and recite a spell!

This was completely different from his previous expectation of being able to know what the other person was thinking at just one glance.

But that's right, he remembered that in the original time and space, only Voldemort and Dumbledore were the only ones who could actually use Legilimency at will.

A novice like him is far from achieving this level.

Ivan shook his head. It seemed that before Legilimency was accomplished, he would no longer be able to rely on it to judge what Rozier and others were thinking.

He couldn't just wave his wand and recite a spell at them openly, could he?

That's stupid!

No wizard would want his thoughts to be spied on, and all his secrets to be exposed in front of others. Even when Voldemort used Legilimency on his subordinates, no one would notice, lest the other party would be dissatisfied.

The only thing that makes Ivan happy is that they captured a lot of prisoners when they attacked the wizard market. After torture, they found that some of them were extremely vicious people, just enough for him to practice his new magic!

In the evening, in the basement of Bojinbok's store, Old Rozier, led by two werewolf wizards, walked deeper.

In the past few days, in order to meet the needs, the basement here has been transformed into a temporary prison to house more than 20 prisoners.

Important pure-blood wizards such as Parkinson and Abbott are imprisoned in the deepest part of the basement.

One of the werewolf wizards took Old Rozier to a converted storage room and opened the door lock. The other werewolf wizard said to Old Rozier.

"They're locked up here, go in!"

"Well! Thank you for your hard work! Thanks to the two friends who took care of me during this time."

Old Rozier smiled and said a few words, then took out a small bag from his pocket, handed it over with his sleeve, and continued in a low voice. "I want to talk to some old friends alone. I wonder if it can be convenient for me. I'll be fine in a minute!"

"We must listen!" The werewolf wizard did not take it, but looked at him coldly, unmoved.

They are living a good life now, and they are very grateful to Ivan, but they will not disobey orders for some money.

If Fulen found out about collecting money, they would be severely punished, or kicked out directly.

Old Rozier's face twitched. He didn't expect these werewolf wizards to reject him so bluntly. Aren't they saying that poor werewolves are greedy for money?

"Ahem, you may have misunderstood me. It was Mr. Hals who asked me to persuade you to surrender. From now on, we are all our own people. If you go in, it might affect my work!"

Old Rozier comforted him earnestly, but did not dare to say too sharp words. After all, he had just surrendered not long ago, and he did not have many powerful people under his command, so he really couldn't be tough.

However, no matter what old Rozier said, the two werewolf wizards had no intention of letting go, and they were very determined!

"Rozier, you traitor has the nerve to come see us!"

Just when Old Rozier was about to continue persuading, a sharp female voice came from the storage room.

The soundproofing here can only be considered average. The sound of old Rozier talking to the werewolf wizard outside the door could be heard clearly inside.

Old Rozier shrugged helplessly and stopped trying to persuade the two werewolves. Instead, he opened the door to the storage room, walked in, and explained.

"Don't say that, Fiona, you know I'm here to help you!"

Under the gaze of old Rozier, Fiona and others were put in shackles that restricted magic. Although they did not appear to be tortured, they all looked a little depressed.

For pure-blood wizards like them who are used to living a good life, the feeling of being prisoners is not very pleasant.

Fiona Parkinson and Foley looked at old Rozier with hatred. If it weren't for the other party's betrayal, they wouldn't be in this situation.

Thanks to the book friend Shifter for the 500 starting coins, and the Wan Shiwu Never Ending game for the 100 starting coins.
