Chapter 498: Confession Bureau

"What do the Malfoy family want?" Li Zhuoguang is an impatient person. He doesn't like the unspoken social rules of pure-blood nobles, so he speaks very straightforwardly.

Li Zhuoguang's style made Lucius a little uncomfortable, but now he was asking for help, so he quickly adjusted his mood and said directly: "The Malfoy family needs an ally now, a clean ally. ”

Li Zhuoguang waved his hand: "I can't promise to strictly follow the white wizard's code of conduct, and some of the things I did have already entered Dumbledore's sight. It's probably impossible to clear my name now. ”

Lucius shook his head: "Dark wizards are nothing. The twenty-eight pure-blood clans, what kind of family they are, only depends on a certain generation or generations of clan leaders.

Almost every pure-blood family has been inherited for thousands of years. A thousand years is too long. No family can remain 'just' for a thousand years, and no family can remain 'evil' for a thousand years.

Even the Gaunt family has never had a vanguard against the dark wizard. No matter what the personality and tendencies of the patriarch are, the first thing we will consider is how to continue the family. "

Li Zhuoguang glanced at Lucius: "Then what do you mean by clean?"

"It has nothing to do with the Dark Lord." Lucius leaned forward slightly and whispered: "Although I don't want to admit it, there are too few true pure bloods in the magic world now. Maybe in a while, The number of purebloods is not as high as that of marrow wizards.

Currently, the vast majority are mixed-race wizards. Although at the beginning, pure-blood wizards had an easier time learning magic because of their bloodline and accumulation, and they also had more resources to improve themselves.

But as the population of mixed-blood wizards increased, they began to slowly encroach on the interests of pure-blood wizards. The seven departments under the British Ministry of Magic are still headed by purebloods, but the situation in the next term is not very optimistic.

The fight between the Dark Lord and Dumbledore ten years ago was, on the surface, a fight between black and white wizards. But it’s not like dark wizards were born on the first day. How could they hit the ground like that and bleed into rivers? Everyone is even considered a relative. "

Li Zhuoguang understood clearly: "The struggle for interests between pure-blood wizards, mixed-blood wizards, and Muggle wizards."

"Not entirely." Lucius explained: "Although the Dark Lord has promoted the supremacy of pure blood, there are also many mixed-blood wizards here. On the opposite side, there are also people from the twenty-eight sacred tribes.

Strictly speaking, it should be a battle between the old nobles and the new forces. We want to protect our inherent interests, but those emerging families and purebloods with little industry believe that we have occupied most of the resources for too long and it is time to replace them. "

"Well, it's still for profit." This did not surprise Li Zhuoguang. No matter where it was or what era it was, this was the reason for starting a war.

"Wait!" Li Zhuoguang suddenly discovered the point: "Although Dumbledore was quite ambitious when he was young, he had long since lost his worldly ambitions after imprisoning Grindelwald in Nurmengard. Desire.

Also, Weasley is considered the victor, right? They seem to have eaten the resources of the defeated? ! "

Hearing Li Zhuoguang's question, Lucius closed his eyes in pain and said with a bit of gritted teeth: "This is the reason why we failed. It was originally a battle between the old and new forces, and no one distinguishes between black wizards and white wizards.

However, the Lord...the Dark Lord had some accidents, which caused his temperament to change drastically. He was originally an outstanding wizard with far-sightedness, erudition and charisma, so we were willing to surround him and make him our leader.

But after his accident, his character began to become extreme, eccentric, moody, and took pleasure in killing and torturing, and his wand did not always point at the enemy.

Because of his excessive behavior, which angered the white wizards headed by Dumbledore, the Order of the Phoenix joined the war. We...we have truly become dark wizards.

More and more white wizards are joining Dumbledore's side, and most of those who come to us are dark wizards, and there are even werewolves, giants, and dementors behind us. Facing an increasingly powerful enemy, we cannot refuse the active forces that actively join us. We can no longer go back.

In fact, it doesn't matter. History is written by the victors. But the most fatal thing is that the Dark Lord not only changed his temperament, but also lost his previous wisdom. "

"Well, the leader becomes retarded, and then it's all over for you."

Lucius nodded with an ugly face: "Although I did not enter Azkaban and saved the Malfoy family, no one is a fool. I have been marked with the mark of the Dark Lord. The White Wizard hates Malfoy. The new The forces coveted Malfoy, and the remnants of the escaped Dark Lord hated Malfoy.

Now I can only stay together with a few families who have gone through the same experience, but because everyone has the same experience and faces the same difficulties, it is better than nothing.

Therefore, I urgently need an ally who will not be targeted by multiple parties. "

Li Zhuoguang smiled: "I am an outsider, and it stands to reason that I am also a new noble who has just arrived. Why are you not afraid that I will also covet Malfoy's wealth?"

Lucius shook his head: "Even Malfoy, who is famous for his wealth, would not dare to say that he is rich in front of you. I am very sure that you will not be short of gold galleons for anything. So our two companies cooperate, you need It's just something else, not the Malfoy family wealth."

"Then what can you offer?"

Lucius sat up straight and said seriously: "Contacts, channels, industrial chains, mouthpieces, this can be seen from the fact that your butler has been keen to take over the work of brokers since he came here. You urgently need to establish cooperation with local forces. relationship and build a community of interests.”

Li Zhuoguang wanted to say that this was just what Wei Changfeng wanted to do. If he wanted to use local forces, he would probably be more inclined to conquer it by force like Voldemort.

Yes, twelve-year-old Li Zhuoguang is so simple, rude and impatient.

However, Wei Changfeng has already opened up the situation, and Li Zhuoguang will not overturn the situation: "That's right, but why should I choose Malfoy instead of the winner on the opposite side?"

Lucius said: "The winner has many choices, but for Malfoy and several other families, you only have one choice."

"Deal, what do you need me to do?"

After hearing Li Zhuoguang's words, Lucius breathed a big sigh of relief: "Actually, it's nothing. Now that your family is strong and well-funded, your butler will also become a member of the Wizengamot after Christmas.

You just need to support us when the other party targets us. "

Li Zhuoguang asked: "Besides me, how many other members of the Wizengamot do you have?"

"Three."

Li Zhuoguang had a bad premonition: "How many members are there in the Wizengamot?"

"More than fifty."

"...Are you a little too optimistic?"

Lucius shook his head: "Although the Wizengamot is a voting system in name, even Dumbledore can only cast one vote. But the weight of Dumbledore's vote is much heavier than that of ordinary members. "

Also, in an environment where great power belongs to oneself, there is no democracy. There won't be any plot where the disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage frame the ancestor of the Mahayana stage and send the ancestor to the law enforcement hall.

Li Zhuoguang nodded: "I can agree to your request, but I also want to see the quality of the Malfoy family."

"Please tell me."

"Wei Changfeng is coming to power and needs a good reputation. We are going to set up a werewolf rescue foundation to provide free monthly wolfsbane potion to werewolves with no criminal records."

Lucius estimated the required expenses, gritted his teeth and said, "Leave this matter to me. On the day Congressman Wei takes office, I will wait for him to cut the ribbon in front of the foundation gate."

Li Zhuoguang raised the cup filled with pumpkin juice: "I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Lucius also raised his glass: "May our family friendship last forever!"
