Chapter 894 The Potion of Immortality
"You've done very well recently, Pierce." Ivan turned his head and said with admiration.
He had previously asked Piers to serve as Minister of Magic as a temporary measure, but unexpectedly he did a pretty good job. The most important thing was that he was self-aware, unlike Fudge who couldn't understand the situation...
"I was just following your instructions..." Pierce said in a flattering manner, without any intention of taking credit. His attitude was as humble as that of a domestic servant rather than the British Minister of Magic.
In fact, the real situation is not much different. Pierce knows very well that his position as Minister of Magic is just a false title, and the main combat power of England is in the hands of Docter and the werewolf Flan.
These people simply did not listen to the words of their minister, and even any order he issued had to be approved by Ivan Hals before it could be implemented.
To put it bluntly, he is just a mascot and rubber stamp, and it doesn't matter whether the Ministry of Magic has him or not.
As the apparent controller of the British magical world, but his life was so miserable, it was impossible for Pierce to have no complaints in his heart. However, after seeing the cruel methods of Ivan Hals, he knew the current situation and put it in his mind. All those unrealistic ideas were thrown away.
The body of former Minister Fudge had just been buried half a year ago, and Pierce didn't want to be the next Minister of Magic to die tragically.
Ivan is very satisfied with Pierce's submissive attitude, but he understands that blind suppression can easily lead to some rebellious psychology. It is still very important to give him a sweet date appropriately, which will help improve the enthusiasm of his subordinates.
"Tell me, what reward do you want?" Ivan asked.
Pierce was stunned for a moment, and then saw that Ivan didn't mean it as a joke, so he thought about it carefully again.
It's definitely not possible to refuse directly. This will refute the other party's face, but with his current identity and status, it seems that he really doesn't need anything in particular.
A large sum of Galleons? This is not bad, but from what he knows, Ivan Hals is a complete money addict, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as having nothing to lose, so this proposal is absolutely impossible.
Take back some of the powers that the Minister of Magic should have?
Pierce thought about it and decided not to seek death.
Seeing that Pierce had been pondering for a long time and could not give an answer, Ivan impatiently took out a bottle of magic potion and spoke. "How about this...?"
"Mr. Hals, what is this?" Pierce took the potion bottle, looked down curiously, and was immediately attracted by the emerald green liquid in the potion bottle.
"Would you know if you drink it and watch it?" Ivan said slowly, without any intention of explaining more.
Pierce hesitated for a moment, then quickly unscrewed the stopper of the potion and drank it directly in front of Ivan. He was not too worried that there was something wrong with the potion, because Ivan didn't have to bother to deal with him.
The taste of the potion was unexpectedly good. What surprised Pierce even more was that after drinking the potion, a warm feeling rose from his stomach and gradually spread throughout his body.
It was as if his body was being soaked in warm water. The mental exhaustion caused by staying up late for many days was swept away, and it was so comfortable that Pierce couldn't help but moan.
What kind of magic potion is this?
Could it be a powerful energy potion?
Pierce was very curious. After taking this bottle of potion, he always felt that he had infinite energy in an instant, as if he had returned to his prime.
"Congratulations on being five years younger, Minister Pierce." Ivan stared at Pierce's face carefully for a while, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile.
Five years younger?
Pierce looked a little confused, then his body shook slightly, and suddenly as if he thought of something, he waved his wand to create a round mirror and looked at his face, and said in a trembling voice. "Is this... is this a potion of immortality?"
Ivan nodded, confirming Pierce's guess.
With the Philosopher's Stone and the inheritance of Nico Flamel, he can naturally make the legendary potion of immortality.
Although his current age is far from the point where he needs to take medicine to extend his life, in addition to using it for himself, this thing is also an excellent bargaining chip...
Those powerful people may not care about external things, but there is one thing that countless people in power have longed for throughout the ages, and that is the secret to longevity!
Pierce was his first experiment, and it seems to be working surprisingly well.
Probably because he took this longevity-enhancing potion for the first time, Pierce looked radiant and looked several years younger...
"This is really incredible!" Pierce, who had no idea that he was being treated as a guinea pig, looked at himself in the mirror and was so excited that he couldn't contain himself.
He is over fifty years old this year. Although he is still considered middle-aged among wizards who are over a hundred years old, his energy and energy are not as good as before. He has been used to a lot of minor problems for many years, and he is extremely It has greatly affected his quality of life. Now that he is several years younger, how can he not be excited?
Pierce's eyes suddenly became eager when he looked at Ivan. If his previous submission to Ivan was due to his inner fear, now he is a little more eager. After all, no one will disdain his longevity!
Ivan saw every move of Pierce, and naturally knew his thoughts clearly. However, Ivan deliberately did not mention any more information about the potion of immortality, but instead asked in a different tone. "Have you found my residence in London?"
Pierce nodded quickly, suppressed all the thoughts in his heart, led Ivan through several streets, and finally stopped in a remote place.
"That's it!" Pierce pointed to the empty grass in front of him, and then waved his wand to break the hidden magic.
The next moment, a magnificent large manor appeared in front of Ivan's eyes.
At the entrance is a silver gate that can accommodate four cars in parallel. There are two knight statues guarding the entrance. Long green fences on both sides stretch hundreds of meters. Through the gaps in the railings, Ivan can even see something inside. A whole independent garden.
"How big is this place?" Ivan looked around and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"It's not big, just about a dozen acres, but this manor is one of the legacies left by those pure-blood families. It... doesn't cost any money!" Pierce said with a smile as he knew Ivan's needs very well.
"Very good, that's it!" Ivan patted his suitcase with satisfaction, opened the door and walked in.
