Chapter 896 Ivan: I Understand Muggles Better than Muggles

This is... a fireplace made of gold?

Will Granger couldn't believe his eyes, and Mrs. Granger and Hermione who were following behind were also stunned.

Ivan frowned as he looked at the big golden stove in front of him. He remembered that this thing was not in the living room yesterday. Who moved it out of the warehouse?

"Dobby? Winky?!" Ivan looked around and shouted around.

A moment later, a house elf with two thigh-high legs and a wrinkled body appeared in front of everyone.

"Do you have any orders? Sir!" Dobby stood upright, wearing a fancy little skirt and holding a dirty rag in his hand. He was probably doing some cleaning work when he was summoned. .

Standing next to it, Shining looked weak, looked at Ivan with fear, and spoke. "Twinkle is at your service, sir!"

Ivan nodded at Twinkle, then looked at Dobby and asked. "Dobby, why is this fireplace here? Didn't I ask you to take it to the warehouse before?"

"Sir has moved to a new home, Dobby... Dobby thought it should be decorated properly, so he and Twinkle installed Mr.'s golden fireplace in the living room!" Dobby blinked and looked at Yi with an eager look on his face. Fan is like a child who has done something great and is waiting for praise.

The house elf on the side, Winky, was not so calm. It hugged the golden fireplace next to it in fear and banged its head against it. "Winky... Winky shouldn't hide this from Mr. Winky. Winky is a bad elf... a bad elf! Bad Dobby, it was the one who tricked Winky into doing this..."

Ivan was a little dumbfounded for a moment, and quickly stopped the masochistic behavior of Shining and said something. "I don't mean to blame you, Twinkle, but you changed the fireplace to a gold one. What if it melts when you light the fire?"

Dobby immediately patted his chest and said that he and Winky had set up constant temperature magic in the fireplace and there would be no problem.

Ivan looked at Dobby and hesitated to speak. Constant temperature magic was a trivial matter. The main reason was that such a large solid gold fireplace was facing the door. It was a bit too arrogant and did not fit in with his usual low-key style...

After a brief moment of surprise, Hermione quickly came to her senses, and then she was even more surprised to find that the solid gold fireplace in front of her was very ancient, and she felt vaguely familiar.

"Isn't this the same fireplace that was lost in Hogwarts Castle?" Hermione suddenly remembered that a few months ago, a fireplace disappeared inexplicably in the castle. At that time, it alerted Professor McGonagall, and it took a long time to find it. Haven't found out who did it.

"Ahem..." Under Hermione's strange gaze, Ivan coughed twice awkwardly and explained. "When I was doing experiments that day, I accidentally turned this thing into gold, so I had to take it away first."

Will Granger couldn't help walking forward, reaching out and caressing the fireplace. After confirming that he was not hallucinating, he sighed. "Magic is really amazing, it can do such incredible things."

"Hermione, can you turn a fireplace into gold?" Will Granger looked at his daughter curiously.

Ivan didn't wait for the little witch to reply and took the initiative to help. "Turning stone into gold usually requires very advanced alchemy skills, but I believe that with Hermione's talent, she can learn it sooner or later."

Although Hermione was happy that Ivan spoke for her, she still shook her head. She had read many books about alchemy, so she naturally understood what the Sorcerer's Stone represented. Before Ivan, there were so many alchemists in the entire magic world, but only Nico Flamel could create such amazing alchemical creations.

Under Hermione's explanation, Will Granger gradually understood what it meant to make a magic stone. This was much more difficult than winning the Nobel Prize, especially at Ivan's age. He could only use genius. To describe the genius!

Understanding this, Will Granger couldn't help but worry about Hermione. Although his daughter was very good and smart, she was far inferior to Ivan.

Not to mention the other party's talent, the pure gold fireplace and the unimaginably huge mansion in front of them were enough to put ordinary people like them at bay.

Of course, Ivan also noticed the Granger couple's restraint, and felt very helpless. He set the meeting place here. He originally wanted to show the best side, but it seemed to have the opposite effect.

"It's getting late, let's go have dinner first." Ivan suggested.

Will Granger nodded and agreed happily.

Under Ivan's guidance, the group of people quickly sat down at the long table in the restaurant. The two house elves were busy busying themselves with each other, serving all the delicacies they had cooked long ago.

Hermione looked at Winky and Dobby with some distress, but she didn't say anything. She knew very well that the cause of liberating house elves would never be achieved overnight. Ivan was already good enough to the house elves. Yes, not only do you get a salary, but you also get corresponding holidays.

Facing a table of delicious food, Will Granger was a little reluctant at first, but after drinking some red wine, he gradually returned to his talkative nature.

As a host, Ivan naturally would not neglect the guests. From time to time, he told interesting stories about the wizarding world, and even chatted with Will Granger about the impact of the disintegration of the Soviet Union on the Muggle political landscape in the past few years.

"If I hadn't known about it in advance, I would have thought that Hals, you are a... Well, that's how you say that word... Oh, a Muggle noble! Rather than a magic wizard..." Will-G Lang Jie looked at Ivan and said in surprise.

When accompanying his daughter to Diagon Alley over the years, Will Granger has come into contact with many wizards. Ancient, conservative, and mysterious are almost synonymous with them. His attitude towards ordinary people like them is often condescending, and in his words Full of contempt.

However, Ivan was completely different. Before that, Will Granger simply couldn't believe that a wizard could understand the Muggle world better than him, a Muggle.

"In fact, I always thought that wizards just have a rare magical talent more than ordinary people. There is no difference between the two." Ivan shrugged and replied casually.

In his previous life, he was an ordinary person who did not know magic. He had a deep understanding of the power and convenience of technology. Some magic can indeed do many incredible things, but the power of technology is equally terrifying...the two are complementary.
