Chapter 741 Magic Mark
While feeling helpless, Ivan also hesitated whether to tell Asia the truth.
After hesitating for a moment, Ivan finally gave up the idea.
He was not prepared to reveal the system's affairs to anyone, which meant that he could not explain why his strength fluctuated.
It would be difficult if Asia misunderstood that he had used some evil black magic to temporarily enhance his combat power.
After all, this kind of black magic that greatly increases combat effectiveness and can only be used once is often accompanied by some huge side effects.
Even if he said that he was in good health, Asia had to believe it.
The most important thing is that Ivan has not forgotten that Voldemort is a master of Legilimency, and Asia has never practiced Occlumency. What if the other person's mind is read when he comes into contact with him?
Thinking of this, Ivan gave up the idea of telling the truth directly, and instead vaguely reminded Asia that the blood magic he used when defeating Voldemort was too powerful, and even he could not use it for a long time.
"In addition, Dumbledore has reorganized the Order of the Phoenix, so the current situation is a three-way check and balance. If we rashly attack the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore will never stand idly by..."
Ivan tried to comfort her with sincere words, even at the cost of discrediting Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix, but also reminding Asia to be careful and not to swell just because they have a little bit of strength.
What if he goes too far and makes Dumbledore mistakenly think that he is the next Dark Lord, even more evil than Voldemort, and forces him to fight for his life before he dies?
So talk low-key...and be sure to keep a low-key attitude!
Based on this concept, Ivan decided to attribute this war to the conflict of several dark wizards, as described in the Daily Prophet.
It just so happened that they captured a lot of prisoners last night, and the cells in the underground fortress could no longer be locked. They just found a few dark wizards to change their memories, and then threw them out to take the blame.
As long as everyone in Knockturn Alley makes good confessions, they should still be able to hide it.
It is unlikely that the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic would investigate carefully.
After all, this result was in line with Fudge's expectations. It was too late for him to be happy. Even if he knew that the memories of these dark wizards had been modified, he would probably turn a blind eye.
As for Doggett, Rozier and others' plan to win over Ministry of Magic officials, they can be carried out in secret and the time will be extended, which will be more conducive to confidentiality.
In any case, infiltration of the Ministry of Magic was necessary.
Although Ivan has little interest in the position of Minister of Magic, judging from what happened in the original time and space, Voldemort is likely to attack the Ministry of Magic next.
If the worst happens, of course he needs to make some preparations...
The two of them were eating lunch like this while revising the plan they were going to implement.
After lunch, Asia did not stay here any longer. Even if the plan to raid the Ministry of Magic was postponed, there was still a lot of preparation work to be done.
"By the way, Mom, call Fulen and Docter back in the evening." Just as Asia walked to the door, Ivan suddenly remembered something and reminded him.
"Okay, I will remember it." Asia turned her head and glanced at Ivan, nodded, and left the living room without asking any questions.
Ivan, who was left alone, was still digesting the various information he received from Asia, and then opened the system's taskbar.
【Become the King of Knockturn Alley (Completed)
Mission goal: Rectify Knockturn Alley (Third Ring Road)

Mission reward: Magic mark (whether to receive it or not)
Legend value: 3 (Achievement: King of Knockturn Alley)
...]
Ivan completed the task of rectifying Knockturn Alley last night. Thanks to the three legendary points he obtained when completing the task, he was able to activate protection mode and drive away Voldemort who came to cause trouble.
The scene at that time can only be described as a critical moment. If Voldemort had come earlier...the consequences would be disastrous!
"Fortunately, Tom's luck has always been bad..." Ivan murmured to himself, and then muttered silently in his heart.
Receive award!
The next moment, a vast amount of knowledge poured into his mind.
About five minutes later, Ivan opened his eyes again. He had mastered this special magic.
Generally speaking, the magic mark is somewhat similar to Voldemort's Dark Mark. It should be the same type of spell, but in terms of effect, the magic mark is obviously more powerful.
When he plants a mark on any wizard, it is equivalent to directly controlling the other person's life and death.
Ivan can easily influence and punish the person being casted through the mark. If necessary, he can even kill the person directly. As long as the mark magic is not eliminated, the wizard will die no matter how far he runs.
In addition, he can also use specific magic to convey mission instructions to the wizard, sense the location of the other party, or use phantom to reach the other party instantly.
Those wizards who have been imprinted can also enter magic power on the magic imprint to contact themselves, and with their consent, they can learn their own coordinates and come to gather quickly.
This perfectly solved one of his concerns.
Ivan had always been worried that after Voldemort was frustrated in Knockturn Alley, he would seek revenge on his relatives and friends, and even use them to threaten him.
That would be troublesome. No matter how great your deterrent power is, you will not be able to cover everything. The emergence of magic marks will undoubtedly solve this problem.
As long as he plants a mark on Hermione and others, and then finds a way to let the Death Eaters know the news, Voldemort, who is extremely afraid of him, will naturally give up those unrealistic thoughts in his heart.
Coupled with the Red Loyalty Charm, you should no longer have to worry about the deterrent brought by Voldemort in a short period of time.
Thinking of this, Ivan's tense mood relaxed and he started designing the pattern of the magic mark with great interest.
Voldemort's symbol is the Mark of the Dark, and Grindelwald is associated with the symbol of the Deathly Hallows, so which one should he use?
cross? Demon head? Hammer and sickle?
Ivan eliminated the options that flashed through his mind one by one. According to his vision, this pattern should not only be beautiful, but also preferably have a certain meaning.
At least not compared to Voldemort and Grindelwald.
Ivan pondered for a long time, then lightly tapped the wand in his hand on the table, and dark fluorescence flowed out and turned into a lifelike ouroboros on the table.
No, no!
Ivan looked at this pattern and shook his head. The attribute of snake was repeated with Voldemort's, and he didn't want to use it.
Moreover, he always felt that something was missing...
