Chapter 345: Bock, who is getting thinner
I'm starving! Doggett hurried over to the round table, grabbed a bacon omelette and stuffed it into his mouth, and then gulped a large bowl of polenta.
Ivan didn't care about talking to Walker for a while, and asked out loud.
"Dean Doggett, what's going on?"
"It's pretty much what I expected! Although the Ministry of Magic attaches great importance to this incident, it is just for show, and they can't make any waves, and they are still having a headache about what to do with that ledger, maybe it will take a month or two just to discuss and hold a meeting..."Doggett waved his hand casually and explained.
Ivan was completely relieved, and when the Ministry of Magic finished the meeting, he didn't know what time it was, and how could he still have the time to track them down.
However, Ivan was very curious about Doggett's source.
Their raid on the Borgin Bock Magic Store was late last night, and even if the Aurors didn't sleep at night and rushed to the scene of the incident overnight, it would have been less than half a day now.
Doggett was able to get accurate information so quickly, and he didn't know which high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic had been bought.
"By the way, what about the Bokinbock Magic Shop? What is the Ministry of Magic going to do? Ivan asked, remembering that Bock's magic shop seemed to be vacant now.
He thinks the location of the Burginbock store is quite good, right at the junction of Diagon Alley and Tumbling Alley, and it is also a transit point for Tumbling Alley.
More importantly, Ivan knew that there was a broken Vanishing Cabinet in the Bogin Bock Wizardry Shop, from where he could teleport directly to Hogwarts...
It was through this area that a large number of Death Eaters entered Hogwarts Castle, causing a major battle between the two factions.
If he could, Ivan would still like to be in control of the place.
Doggett saw Ivan's thoughts, hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and persuaded.
"Don't think about that magic shop, a lot of people are playing with its idea right now! It's just that in their opinion, Bock is missing and not dead now, so they haven't done it yet, let's just watch the battle and let them go dog-eat-dog! ”
Ivan was a little pity, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, the most valuable thing in that magic shop was the knowledge of making magic items, and they could still get their hands on it.
After a hurried breakfast, Ivan sneaked away while Althea and Hermione were still chatting, so as not to be caught and criticized by Althea. Returning from the Diagon Alley market to buy some potion ingredients and crucibles, he began to brew a true potion.
As a high-grade potion, the Truth Elixir is not easy to make.
Fortunately, Ivan's potion level has now been raised to a very high level, and it is not the first time that he has made a truth potion, so it can naturally ensure the success rate of potion brewing.
After carefully grinding the various potion materials, Ivan added the processed potions to the crucible one by one, stirred and mixed them, and finally covered the cauldron.
The preparation of high-grade potions usually takes a long time, and it is not rushed.
During the few days of waiting for the truth potion to be completed, Ivan was not idle, and began to study the book "Decryption of the Dark Arts" that Hermione had brought with him.
At the same time, he did not forget to remind Doggett and Flon and others not to approach their magic shop at will, so as not to be seen by Dobby and cause historical fluctuations.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the captured Bock has behaved extremely tough in the past few days, and he said iron-clad that he would rather starve to death on a hunger strike than reveal the slightest news!
Ivan couldn't think of committing suicide when he was awake, so he could only give Bock a coma spell every day, so that he fell asleep.
But Ivan didn't have any good way to go on a hunger strike,
After many days of not eating or drinking, Bock's body became thinner and thinner, but fortunately, when he was about to starve to death, the elixir was finally boiled.
Just as the potion was boiled, the system's prompt sounded synchronously.
[Ding, after a period of practice, your potions proficiency has increased, and it is currently level 5 (1690/3200)!] 】
Ivan glanced at his system bar, where most of the spell levels had been raised to level five due to his frequent use of the Time Turner to study various courses and practice common spells.
This means that even if he doesn't count the special bloodline magic, his spell level is still stronger than that of ordinary adult wizards, and the strongest transformation spell is already close to level six.
Ivan took the boiled elixir and found Bock, who was locked in the storage room and tightly tied.
In the past few days, Bock has long lost the demeanor of the first sight, his body is dirty, full of dust and dirt, his cheeks are blue, and he is so thin that he can see the outline of his face bones, and he is no different from a corpse when he lies there except for breathing.
Ivan drew his wand and lifted the stun spell from Bock's place, and after waiting for a while, Bock's body moved, and he struggled to open his eyelids.
Bock opened his eyes and looked around, a feeling of weakness and weakness enveloped his body, his stomach was empty, and he was very hungry.
When he saw Ivan, Bock's eyes swelled with hatred, and at the same time, he also understood why Ivan still kept his life, just for the knowledge of alchemy.
Thinking of this, Bock glanced at Ivan weakly and said very stiffly. "You'd better die! I'm not going to say anything! ”
"Really?" Ivan pursed his lips in disbelief, took out the elixir from the wizard's robe, and in Bock's frightened eyes, broke his mouth open, and dripped a few drops of potion on it.
Bock's frightened face slowly calmed down, and his eyes lost focus.
Ivan tried to ask a few questions, and Bock answered them one by one, and even explained the causes and consequences of the attack clearly, and it seemed that the elixir was indeed working.
"Where's the library? I'm referring to books about the crafting of magical items. Ivan then got to the point and asked out loud.
"Inside the secret door in the right corner of the basement, the key to open it is the pendant I wear around my neck." Bock said dumbfounded.
Ivan pulled open Bock's collar and saw a silver pendant around his neck, which looked like a small seal.
Ivan picked up the pendant, then hesitated before asking. "Is there anything I need to pay attention to when going there?"
Bock replied blankly.
"The library is enchanted with light, and it's so dark that if someone tries to cast a light spell inside, the secret door will close after thirty seconds, and the inside of the library will turn into a sea of fire, engulfing everything!"
