Ch 796-800

Looking at the golden fireplace in front of him, Draco was stunned.

Even Lucius, who was well-informed, was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, and then couldn't help stepping forward to touch the golden bricks.

The intuition of dealing with money for many years told him that this is real gold!

But this... how is it possible?

Lucius couldn't hide the shock in his heart. He preferred to believe that this was the effect of Transfiguration, but Ivan's magic skills were too high, so even he couldn't tell...

"Nico LeMay is my teacher..." Ivan faintly explained, breaking the fantasy of Lucius Malfoy.

Although he needs these 700,000 gallons as military expenses to reduce the magic consumption of the Philosopher's Stone, he does not want Lucius to take this so-called money payment too seriously, thinking that he can't do it without this money...

"Nico LeMay... turning stones into gold... Philosopher's Stone..." Lucius muttered to himself, his face turned pale, he knew that he had lost the most important bargaining chip.

Just as Lucius Malfoy was desperate, Ivan's voice suddenly came over. "Didn't you just say that you have important information to report to me? Lucius?"

Lucius Malfoy suddenly woke up from the lack of consciousness, only then did he remember that he had another bargaining chip, and hurriedly responded.

"Yes, I have recently received news that the Dark Lord will have a big operation this month. The Aurors stationed in Azkaban will undergo a shift in 15 days. Voldemort is ready to use this opportunity to defend When we are weak, we will rescue all the Death Eaters locked in Azkaban..."

In order to seize this only opportunity, Lucius kept out everything he knew, and even broke out several Ministry officials who took refuge in Death Eaters.

"Very good, this information is pretty useful." Ivan nodded, affirming Lucius' contribution.

The news that Voldemort wanted to rescue the Death Eaters had naturally been received by Ivan, and the dementors who guarded Azkaban clearly told him that they would have a one-day vacation in fifteen days.

Of course, this holiday was not given by the Ministry of Magic, but Voldemort let them rush out of the island guarding the prisoners that day, and attack wizards and Muggles on the road to block the Ministry and distract the Aurors.

When Ivan received this information, he determined that Voldemort must take the opportunity to rescue those imprisoned Death Eaters. The previous plan for the Ministry of Magic was also determined by this.

Now with the addition of Lucius Malfoy, the plan may be able to make some changes.

"I have one thing you need to do, Lucius." Ivan said after hesitating for a while.

"Please also tell me, Your Excellency Hals, as long as it is something I can do, anything is fine!" Lucius responded excitedly.

"That's good! I want you to figure out the specific time of Voldemort's hands, and find a way to rush in front of Voldemort in fifteen days, release all the Death Eaters locked in Azkaban, and lead them there. Stirring up chaos and swearing to the entire magical world that the Dark Lord will return..." Ivan said word by word.

"What?" Lucius looked at Ivan in amazement, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"Do you need me to repeat it?" Ivan increased his tone a little dissatisfied.

"No, I can hear you clearly, Lord Hals..." Lucius shook his head quickly, and then hesitated. "It's just... those Death Eaters may not be willing to believe me, after all, in their eyes I have abandoned the Dark Lord once."

"Don't worry, there will be another Voldemort willing to cooperate with your work..." Ivan put his hand on the armrest of the sofa and tapped it lightly, and said casually.

Another Voldemort?

Lucius' pupils shrunk slightly, and he couldn't help feeling a bit ridiculous. Could it be that there are two dark kings in this world who fail? And one of them is willing to cooperate with their actions?

Wait... it doesn't seem to be completely impossible!

After experiencing a brief surprise, Lucius quickly regained his senses.

It suddenly occurred to him that he had used a lot of money to buy the memories of several Knock Down Alley wizards some time ago, and saw Ivan cut off Voldemort's hand!

As long as the other party randomly cuts some flesh and tissue as raw materials and makes a compound soup, they can conjure a second Voldemort out of thin air!

With Ivan's magic level, pretending to be Voldemort will not show up...

Thinking of this, Lucius was a little dizzy. This is definitely the craziest plan he has ever heard in his life!

But just because they are crazy enough, those Death Eaters would never have imagined that someone would dare to pretend to be Voldemort and take them away from Azkaban on the agreed day!

"Can you tell me why you want to release those Death Eaters in advance?" Lucius swallowed hard, and asked cautiously.

"Fudge has been Minister of Magic for long enough, and it is a wise choice to retire now." Ivan said with a sneer.

retirement? Are you retired?

Lucius murmured to himself in his heart, and he understood some of Ivan's thoughts.

For the past six months, Fudge has been proclaiming that Voldemort does not exist at all, and has allowed the Daily Prophet to hype this view.

The news that Voldemort suddenly robbed the prison and led the escaped Death Eaters to wreak havoc in Diagon Alley would undoubtedly turn into a loud slap slammed on Fudge's face, kicking him off the throne of the Minister of Magic.

Also ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Lucius didn't think Ivan would let the Death Eaters escape. In all likelihood, these people would be rushed to the "Auror in time" after the destruction. "Enthusiastic people" arrested or killed again.

Then, as a beautiful political achievement, it was added to the candidate selected by Ivan and became an important support for the opponent to run for the Minister of Magic.

Lucius couldn't help shivering. The young wizard in front of him was so bold to calculate Voldemort and the Ministry of Magic at the same time. Such courage was far beyond his imagination!

The most important thing is that such a careful plan can never be thought up temporarily, and just more than 20 days is not enough to complete the preparatory work of the plan.

This means that Ivan Hals has known the news a long time ago and has been preparing secretly.

In addition to himself, there must be other ghosts in the Death Eaters' camp!

"Lucius, what do you think of this plan, how sure is it?" Ivan asked.

"70%, you can take a gamble! But there are two problems that need to be solved!" Lucius carefully considered for a while, and said solemnly.

"First, our number is too small. It is impossible for the Dark Lord to take me to the rescue alone!"

Having said that, Lucius glanced at Ivan secretly, seeming to want to ask how many internal responses he had put in the Death Eaters, and how many people could participate in the implementation of the plan.

However, Ivan did not respond, but looked at him with interest, as if expecting him to give a solution.

Lucius had no choice but to speak helplessly. "Among the Death Eaters, I am not the only one who wants to get rid of the control of the Dark Lord. Many people have rebellious minds. I am more familiar with Gibbon, Crabbe, Gower, and Gargson, and maybe I can think of ways to persuade and control them. "

Ivan was somewhat surprised when Lucius said that most of the Death Eaters were rebellious.

Is the famous Dark Lord now so miserable?

However, after thinking about it, Ivan felt normal. The servants who were truly loyal to Voldemort were imprisoned in Azkaban. Only twenty-five boys like Malfoy could escape the Ministry of Magic's trial. , With impunity.

Not to mention that things have gone wrong since the Dark Lord's resurrection. First, he was forced to fight his mortal enemy Harry Potter five to five in front of everyone. Then he ran into Dumbledore being beaten up and finally turned over in Knockdown Alley. The car, there is no sign of a rise at all.

The dignified Dark Lord is no one for this, no wonder his subordinates will give birth to rebellious hearts...

Although Voldemort's tragic experience deserves sympathy, Ivan didn't mean to underestimate the other party, and asked very cautiously.

"Are you sure to keep away from the Dark Lord's investigation while persuading them? Lucius?"

"The Dark Lord has been hiding in the safe house recently. He rarely shows up or summons us. If we are careful, I don't think the Dark Lord will notice." Lucius Malfoy said hesitantly. Of course he knew Ivan. What is meant.

In fact, many Death Eaters can guess that the Dark Lord is a clever master of mindfulness, so few people dare to lie in front of Voldemort.

Lucius was sure that if he changed the time point, he would be caught by the Dark Lord immediately after he had just given birth to a rebellious mind!

However, the situation is a little different now. The Death Eaters are all restless, and it is not easy for Voldemort to identify the real betrayers.

As long as you don't meet alone, try to avoid looking at each other head-on, and hide some careful thoughts.

Ivan nodded, he knows better than anyone else about the flaws of Sensation. Once the other party is prepared, he can only use some violent means to read the memory. This is why he has been reluctant to expose himself as Sensation. The reason for the teacher.

"In this way, our first problem is solved, so what is the second problem?" Ivan asked again.

"Black Mark! As long as the Death Eaters get close to the Dark Lord, the Dark Mark on his arm will react. If this cannot be resolved, it is easy to reveal flaws!" Lucius sighed, in his opinion. Other flaws are easy to handle, but this one is more troublesome.

"This is easy to handle..." Ivan raised his eyebrows, and gently waved his wand, a slight wave of magic power spread in all directions.

Lucius was still a little confused at first, but soon realized that the black mark on his arm had become very hot, his face suddenly changed, and his eyes were full of surprise and shock when he looked at Ivan.

"I have some understanding of imprint magic..." Ivan put down the magic wand in his hand and faintly explained.

After receiving the magic knowledge rewarded by the system, he has a deep understanding of imprint magic, not to mention that he captured many Death Eaters a few months ago and studied Voldemort's Mark of the Dark Devil.

Although Ivan was still unable to replace Voldemort to send orders to the Death Eaters to be teleported over to gather, but the short-term impact and interference with the operation of the Dark Mark were still okay.

The external manifestation is that the Dark Mark's mark becomes hot, which is the same as Voldemort's anger or stimulating power. Normally, the Death Eaters are unlikely to distinguish the difference.

"In this way, this plan is more than 80% certain..." Lucius said with joy, clutching the Dark Mark on his arm.

Now that he had chosen to betray, Lucius of course consciously shifted his position to Ivan's side, eagerly hoping that this magnificent plan could be implemented smoothly.

The stronger the opponent's power, the safer he will be, and there is no need to worry about Voldemort's revenge!

As for the winning odds of the remaining two layers, both of them did not mention it tacitly. One layer had to bet on acting skills and strain, and the remaining layer was the difference of magic wands!

In just half a month, they couldn't get Voldemort's wand in their hands, so the plan would not be perfect after all. They could only take one step and count one step, and see how it worked!

For the next hour, Ivan was discussing the details of the plan with Lucius, especially understanding the character and name of each Death Eater. If you call the wrong person, it would be embarrassing. Up.

Draco stood by the fire shivering as he listened to the conspiracy of the two.

Thinking of what he had done a few years ago, Draco felt scared for a while. He was very thankful that he had not offended Ivan Hals, otherwise he would definitely not live today.

"There are a total of 71 Death Eaters imprisoned in Azkaban. The one you need to be careful about is Bellatrix Lestrange. She is a fanatical admirer of the Dark Lord and also a dark The closest and most trusted person to the Devil!"

Lucius looked at Ivan and solemnly reminded that although his wife and Bella are two sisters, he has never had a good impression of this mad woman.

"Bella?" Ivan recalled the information of this well-known female Death Eater. The memory in his mind told him that Bellatrix was one of Voldemort's most powerful Death Eaters, and his personality could only be morbid. To describe it as crazy, it is indeed a difficult character to deal with.

Even Lucius's rhetoric can only be described euphemistically, because Bellatrix is ​​not only an admiration of Voldemort, but an extremely obsessive fascination!

After thinking about Voldemort's grotesque snake face, Ivan couldn't help but shudder. This female Death Eater really has a unique taste~www.mtlnovel.com~ In addition, the food held in Azkaban The number of dead followers was less than Ivan expected.

In the original time and space, Lupin once said that the number of Death Eaters was twenty times that of the First Order of the Phoenix, which meant that at the peak of Voldemort's power, the number of Death Eaters was more than 300!

It seems that in the Wizarding War, the casualties of the Death Eaters were not small, otherwise the number of people held in custody would have doubled!

The two talked until three o'clock in the morning. After all the things were arranged, Lucius put on the cloak again and prepared to leave the castle.

At this time, Ivan suddenly said as if thinking of something.

"Wait... Lucius!"

Lucius Malfoy's stride across the threshold stopped, turning his head puzzled to look at Ivan.

"Seven hundred thousand gallons, sent to Knockdown Alley in three days..." Ivan lightly tapped the armrest of the sofa and reminded him.

Are you not short of money?

Lucius looked at the gleaming fireplace, almost unable to turn his mind.

Fortunately, he soon realized that Ivan might not need money, but his own attitude!

After all, I tried to add blockages to the opponent three times and again in the past few years. No punishment is really unreasonable. Ivan's rejection of his proposal before is probably not only because there is no shortage of Jin Jialong, but more importantly, I didn't want to accept myself!

Thinking of this, Lucius even felt relieved. Ivan's willingness to accept compensation means that he no longer cares about their past conflicts...

"I understand, Your Excellency Hals, the money must be delivered within three days!" Lucius said solemnly, but wondered if the 700,000 gallons would be too little.

It just so happens that Gore, Crabbe and others are also joining in. How can they do without paying a certain amount of money? Why don't you make up one million gallons and send it to the other party...

After Lucius and Draco left together, the room was quiet again. Ivan sat alone in front of the fire for a long time, and suddenly asked.

"Dougt, what do you think?"

The dim fire rose suddenly, the crimson flames gathered together, and finally turned into the big face of Dougt, and his deep voice rang.

"Lucius is a person who knows current affairs. He probably really wants to betray a mysterious person and take refuge in us. Seven hundred thousand gallons is also very sincere. I think what he said is worthy of trust!"

"In addition, Malfoy is one of the most powerful wizard families in the British magical world. With his joining, some things will be much easier..."

Ivan nodded. Counting the Malfoy family, they have won the support of nearly 40% of the powerful in the magic world in recent months. Once Fudge falls, the next Minister of Magic will be 100% of them.

"By the way, who is our candidate?" Ivan asked curiously.

"Pierce Sinknis!" Dougert replied.

"The executive director?" Ivan was a little surprised. He thought Pierce was a diehard.

"I checked for more than a month, and found that this old guy is not clean in private, and it's better to deal with than we thought..." Doug said proudly.

These days, he had contacted the two most likely candidates to become Minister of Magic. Rufus Scrimgeour was a diehard as Ivan said, smelly and hard like a stone in a pit.

But Pierce, the executive director, is different. He has a cherished family member as a weakness, and there are a lot of black materials to dig, so you don't have to worry too much about the other party's betrayal.

"In that case, let me come out and see you some time. I will personally put a magic mark on him and accept Mr. Executive Director as one of us." Ivan said noncommittal, compared to some black materials. People who can directly control life and death are more trustworthy.

"I believe Sinknis will be extremely honored..." Doug said with a smile, and he can naturally guess that Ivan can influence, punish and even kill those who have been engraved with the imprint.

But Dougt was very clever and didn't mention this, but asked as soon as the words turned. "Are we still following the original plan? On Lucius's side..."

"Of course, it's just a few details adjustments at most, everything else is business as usual! When the action starts, Mr. Malfoy will understand what he should do! When the time comes, we will say that we temporarily changed the plan, which is not a lie to him Is it?" Ivan said casually.

"You are really careful...but that's right, if Lucius had just said it directly, he might not have promised so readily!" Doug shook his head and said with emotion.

"Be careful not to make mistakes." Ivan waved his hand and said. "In case something goes wrong with Lucius, Voldemort knows all our plans, we will be the one who is besieged!"

"Even if the Ministry of Magic and the mysterious man are united, it is impossible to be our opponent..." Dougt mumbled secretly. This kid is strong and outrageous, but always unexpectedly cautious...

Among the more than one hundred people involved in the operation, only he and Esiah know what the real plan is. Fren and Gleason may also be able to guess some of them. The rest of the wizards are mostly in the clouds and only know that they are responsible. That part.

According to Ivan's words, even if someone suddenly turns back, it won't affect the overall plan.

"Have you arranged everything I asked you to do?" Ivan asked again.

"Mrs. Ekmo of the Floo Network Administration has taken refuge in us. She assured us that all the fireplaces in and out of the headquarters will be closed when necessary! In addition, there are also our people in the Department of Mystery Affairs, and Pierce will send someone to help once the operation starts. We captured there as quickly as possible!"

Dougt was talking endlessly, and after a pause, he added. "According to reliable information, Fudge will call a meeting with the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic that day, none of them can run away!"

Ivan nodded and nodded. One of the keys to this action was to catch Fudge and clean up some political enemies as Voldemort.

"What about the Daily Prophet?" Ivan asked again.

After Ivan's voice fell, the flames in the fireplace suddenly rose again. Dougt's big face showed a bit of anger, but he gave way slightly, and the phantom the size of the fire shrank a circle next to him. A phantom figure appeared again, and it was Gleason who came here!

"Your Excellency Hals, please allow me to report it personally. The editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet returned home yesterday. It won't be long before this newspaper will speak for us..." Gleason said confidently.

"Good job, Gleason, your movements are much faster than I thought!" Ivan is very satisfied. The Daily Prophet is the most influential newspaper in the magic world, and it is also the mouthpiece of the Ministry of Magic. It is equivalent to mastering the public opinion of the magic world!

This is an extremely important part of the whole plan~www.mtlnovel.com~ which concerns the justice of their action!

In just five months, Gleason was able to fix the Daily Prophet without knowing it. His ability was evident. As for whether the methods used were legal or not, Ivan was not interested.

"When this matter is over, I will set up a propaganda department at the Ministry of Magic, Gleason, you are the first director!" Ivan promised.

"Thank you for your trust, Lord Hals!" Gleason said excitedly, and the fire faintly vibrated.

"Then, get ready to act, everyone!" Ivan stood up and said loudly. "For the future of the magic world!"

"For... Tomorrow in the magic world!" Dougt and Gleason responded in unison, and then the two flame phantoms instantly shattered.

Ivan waved his hand to extinguish the remaining flames, but looked at the golden fireplace in front of him with some difficulty.

He had previously turned the entire fireplace into gold in one breath in order to shock Lucius. Although it was indeed shocking, it has become a big trouble to deal with it now.

It is not easy to move such a large fireplace.

As for putting it here?

Of course not, it is too eye-catching!

And after consuming so much magic power, it can't be wasted!

"I knew I had started on the table or the sofa..." Ivan sighed and miscalculated.

Just as Ivan felt his chin and pondered, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, accompanied by a hoarse voice.

"Who...who is in the meeting room?"

"Filch? What a coincidence?" Ivan raised his eyebrows, and waved his wand to lock the door of the conference room.

Filch, who was outside the door, quickly walked to the door, pulled the door lock vigorously, and shouted loudly. "Come out quickly, I caught you!"

The sound of pushing the door outside the door became louder and louder, and Ivan frowned, wondering whether to put Filch in and give him another Forgotten Charm.

But this idea was quickly forgotten by Ivan.

The noise made here might arouse other people's ideas, and just fixing Filch can't solve the current predicament.

"Dobby... Dobby!" Ivan snapped his fingers and shouted softly.

The crumpled house elf appeared in the clearing aside in the next moment, and said shrillly. "Sir, do you need Dobby's help?"

"Can you use Apparition to move this fireplace away?" Ivan asked, pointing to the fireplace next to him.

Dobby looked past Ivan's direction, and the golden fireplace in the candlelight almost blinded his eyes.

But after a brief stupor, Dobby quickly reacted.

After all, before Ivan would also let it ship some gold products back from time to time.

Originally, these things were mortgaged to those pure-blood families in exchange for the same amount of Jin Jialong, but the money was indeed obtained, but no one dared to collect the things, so they were all piled up at home.

Now there are gold tables and chairs, gold cupboards, and gold teapots in the home. It seems that there will be an extra gold fireplace now!

Dobby was very happy, and if it could, he could not wait to replace everything in the house with gold.

"How about it, can you move?" Ivan asked.

"It's too big, sir..." Dobby reached out his hand and gestured for the size of the fireplace, and shook his head very depressed. It didn't have enough magic power to take this thing away at once.

"Then I will try to make it smaller... Shenfeng Wuying!" Ivan took out the wand from his waist and waved it one after another, and the invisible magic blade quickly divided the fireplace into dozens of parts.

The huge gold nugget with the floating curse smashed to the ground, and there was a slight muffled noise.

He used the shrinking spell to reduce these huge gold nuggets to only a quarter of the original size, and then looked at Dobby and asked again. "Is this okay?"

Dobby nodded, Dang Even pressed his hand on the two gold nuggets to start the Apparition.

After a dozen times of going back and forth, all the broken fireplaces were removed.

Outside the door, Filch's sound of hitting the door became louder and louder.

Ivan cleaned up the surrounding traces on his own, and ignored Filch's intention. He cast a spell on the door. Even if he hit the door for a whole day, the opponent would not be able to come in...

"What's the matter? Filch?" In the corridor, another familiar voice suddenly rang.

"Professor McGonagall, I caught a kid who went out for a night tour, and he is hiding in the meeting room now! But he cast a spell on the door and I can't get in. Could you please help me open the door?" Filch Shouted excitedly.

"Allow, Alohomora~ (Alohomora opens Professor McGonagall gently waved his wand, and with a click, the door lock was unlocked.

Filch pushed open the door impatiently, and walked in quickly, with a slightly excited expression on his face.

However, to his expectation, the wide conference room was empty and there was no one in it.

"Come out, you can't run, I caught you!" Filch held the oil lamp and shouted loudly. He thought that **** kid must still be in this meeting room, just hiding somewhere.

Thinking of this, Filch stepped forward to find every place where Tibetans could be hidden, thinking of the bill passed the other day in his mind. He has always missed the feeling of hanging the erring student from the ceiling. Today, I might be able to revisit it.

Unfortunately, after searching for a while, Filch was very disappointed. There was no one in this conference room.

"Damn, he must have been hiding behind the door just now and ran away with the phantom spell!"

Filch muttered to himself cursively, and when he was about to return to the door, he unexpectedly found that McGonagall, who was coming in with him, was staring at a wall in a daze.

"What's the matter, Professor McGonagall?" Filch asked strangely.

"I remember there should be a...fireplace here?" Professor McGonagall stared at the neat stone bricks on the wall and said uncertainly.

"What?" Filch's mind was stunned, and then he realized it quickly. Looking at the empty wall, Filch couldn't help but feel an absurd feeling in his heart.

Could it be that a thief came from the castle and stole the fireplace at night?

...

Just as the two of them were guessing, Ivan had already returned to the dormitory. After a brief rest while it was still dark, Ivan pretended to be okay and went to the auditorium to have breakfast with Harry and the others.

Unexpectedly, the disappearance of the fireplace in the meeting room has spread, and many strange rumors have spread.

Harry and Ron didn't believe it at first. How could the fireplace be stolen? But after taking a look at the conference room, the two of them had to admit that there are really everyone in this world!

Hermione analyzed it scientifically and rigorously. "It's not easy to take such a big fireplace out of school, let alone hide it from Professor Filch and McGonagall, so someone should have used a powerful vanishing spell on the fireplace!"

"This is too weird, to use a vanishing spell on a fireplace?" Ron murmured.

"Um... it was probably caused by being too nervous after being discovered, and losing control of the magic." Hermione guessed, then looked at Ivan and asked. "What do you mean? Ivan?"

"How do I know ~www.mtlnovel.com~ it's just a fireplace, and it's worthless...Who would steal this?" Ivan yawned and said nonsense.

As the culprit who moved the fireplace, Ivan didn't reveal the truth at all, but only a few words took Harry and the others to a dead end.

Don't look at the trouble, but as long as you can't find clues, it will probably be gone in the end.

After all, a fireplace is not a precious thing. It only takes a few dozen gallons to reinstall one...

A few days passed in a flash, and Ivan spent almost all of his energy on improving his strength while studying, and even the usual rallies were suspended for reasons discovered by Umbridge.

He needs to master the full power of the Sorcerer's Stone as soon as possible. Only in this way can it be possible to retreat under the siege of massive wizards.

The news from Knockdown Alley has not been interrupted for a day, and a large amount of good or bad intelligence is continuously transmitted to him through Dobby.

The worst thing is that the patriarch of the Knot family broke free from the Imperius curse a day ago and went to the unknown...

"Damn, even someone who has been under the Imperius Curse can't look good! It happened at this time..." Ivan threw the envelope into the fire with a headache, muttering to himself.

Dobby replied hesitantly. "Mr. Furen said that there were too many people needing to be mobilized recently, so he neglected to take care of Mr. Nott... and..."

"And Nott has always been honest, they are a little lax, right?" Ivan sighed helplessly, let alone watching the Nott werewolves, even he almost forgot that there was such an unstable factor.

Previously, considering the need for the power of the Nott family to run for the minister, I temporarily saved the opponent's life, but I didn't expect an accident at this moment.

The only thing that made Ivan breathe a sigh of relief was that he had modified Nott's memory before, and for the past two years, the other party had been under close surveillance and was unable to access the important information.

"Let Flenga send someone to find Nott as soon as possible." Ivan ordered.

Dobby nodded and nodded, remembering the instruction, and then as if thinking of something, he told Lucius Malfoy to transport one million gallons to Knockout Alley vault in three days. come out.

"A million gallons? Isn't it seven hundred thousand?" Ivan paused, rather surprised.

"Mr. Malfoy said that the extra 300,000 gallons were offered by his friends as a sign of sincerity..." Dobby explained.

Ivan now understands. It seems that these pure-blood wizards are quite acquainted...

With so much savings all at once, Ivan's depressed mood suddenly improved a lot.

Although money is not a panacea, it is definitely enough to solve most of the usual troubles.

For example, in the current wizarding war that is about to start, the original preparations, post-war pensions, and subsequent management costs were all major problems, and now they have all been resolved.

"Tell Lucius that after this operation is over, I will help them remove the Dark Mark from their bodies." Ivan promised after thinking about it.

This should be the reward the former Death Eaters most wanted.

After all, once the betrayal is exposed, the Dark Mark on his body will immediately become a time bomb, and Voldemort can easily locate them through the mark, find and kill them.

"Yes, sir!"

Dobby snapped his fingers when he received the instruction and disappeared in place.

...

Day by day, just before Halloween, Ivan received a secret report from Lucius that Voldemort will launch a surprise attack at 11 o'clock tomorrow when the Aurors are changing their shifts.

And their action time was nine o'clock in the morning, two hours ahead of schedule, if not surprising, when Voldemort arrived in a hurry, he had already done everything.

In fact, Ivan wanted to be earlier, so that it was safer, but the officials of the Ministry of Magic usually didn't start work until nine o'clock. If they acted too early, maybe the Ministry did not even open the door!

"Unfortunately, Halloween is not a holiday. It seems that I have to skip class for one day." Ivan looked at the class schedule and said with emotion. As a good student who abides by the law, this is the first time he has done such a thing.

...

On Halloween, considering that he wanted to give the Minister of Magic a Halloween surprise, Ivan woke up a rare early morning, and after a hurried breakfast, he left Hogwarts Castle unconsciously.

After half a year, the wizarding market, which was destroyed by the war, has been renovated again, and it is no longer as dilapidated as it used to be.

When Ivan arrived, more than a hundred wizards who participated in the operation had already lined up and waited.

"Your Excellency Hals!" Seeing Ivan's figure appear out of thin air on the high platform, Dougt and the others hurriedly greeted him, who was anxiously waiting.

"Has the personnel been arranged? Dougt?" Ivan asked.

"A total of one hundred and seventy-three wizards, except for the 13 who were brought into the Ministry of Magic by Pierce, everyone else is already here." Doug said excitedly.

"Very good!" Ivan nodded in satisfaction, then continued. "According to the previous plan, you and Fren led a hundred and twenty people lurking near the headquarters. When I solve the Aurors, you will meet with the executive director and enter together."

Dougt and Frenliso responded. They had practiced this plan several times in their hearts, and they were very clear about what they should do.

While talking, Ivan turned his head and looked at Aysia again. "Mom, you brought fifteen law enforcement officers to respond to prevent the escaped fish from escaping..."

The support task is the least dangerous of all actions, and will only appear as a backup support force when necessary.

After arranging the tasks for most of the people, Ivan's expression became more solemn, and he looked at the last twenty-five wizards left, and said.

"Lucius, McNeill, Gore, Crabbe, you and the rest follow me!"

"We need to complete the most dangerous task in the entire plan. If someone is unfortunately killed in battle, I promise you that you will settle your family and pay a pension of 10,000 gallons!" Ivan looked around at the wizards below, solemnly Added.

Ten thousand gallons?

The wizards present were all surprised. For ordinary wizards, 10,000 gallons is definitely an unimaginable number. It may not be possible to save so much money without eating or drinking for more than ten years!

However, most of the people involved in the operation are also aware that this is a sum of money!

Now that they are standing here, they are ready to die!

Lucius and Gore, who didn't know the truth, glanced at each other and vaguely felt that something was wrong, but before they asked them, Ivan said first.

"Some of you may not know the specific content of the task, so I will repeat it again!

From now on, you are a Death Eater, and you will follow the Dark Lord to Azkaban to rescue those imprisoned colleagues, and then gather together to attack the Ministry of Magic..."

"What? Attack... the Ministry of Magic?!" Lucius Malfoy was stunned, and Gibbon, Crabbe, and Gore also had a stunned expression.

"Wait... Your Excellency Hals, this is not the same as what you said!" Lucius Malfoy stepped forward eagerly and asked.

Before, their mission was only to save people and make a big fuss in the magic world after swearing that the Dark Lord would return.

Although there are risks, they are still within an acceptable range.

However, the current situation is completely different, they need to directly confront the official force!

Just their twenty-five wizards ~www.mtlnovel.com~ plus those 71 Death Eaters who have been imprisoned for more than ten years with little strength left, there are more than one hundred Aurors garrisoned to attack, two The Ministry of Magic with more than a hundred incumbent clerks?

This is crazy, what is the difference between going to die? Even if he survives by chance, he will face the Ministry of Magic's wanted!

Lucius Malfoy's anger filled his heart, but after he really met Ivan's cold eyes, all the courage that had risen in his heart disappeared without a trace, leaving only boundless fear...

McNeill stood on the side at the right time, grabbed Lucius, and said annoyedly. "This matter is my negligence, Malfoy. Your Excellency Hals revised the entire plan a few days ago. I should have notified you in time."

Lucius stared at McNeill fiercely and opened his mouth to curse, but in the end he couldn't say it.

Because he knows very well that the plan for the Ministry of Magic can never be made in a few days, which means that he has been kept in the dark from start to finish, and McNeill can be considered a backstop at best.

What makes Lucius feel helpless is that even if he wants to repent now, it is too late, and he can only walk to the dark one by one.

Having betrayed the Dark Lord, he had no retreat, not to mention his son Draco was still in school, life and death were only between the other's thoughts.

Seeing Lucius finally calmed down, Ivan said to calm down.

"Don't worry, Lucius, I have no plans to send someone to death! I will take care of the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, and the focus of your mission is not to fight the guards...

Instead, when the Ministry of Magic was completely defeated and Pierce led the reinforcements to arrive, he cooperated with McNeill's 'Rebellion' Dark Lord as a spy and attacked the Death Eaters... and kept them all in the Ministry! "
