Chapter 530: Regent's Thoughts!
Listening to Ivan's words, Doggett was very disappointed.
Since Ivan asked so, it proved that he really wanted to recruit those pure-blood wizards, and it was basically inevitable for Rozier and others to form an alliance.
At this point, it is difficult for Doggett to make a clear objection.
Because this is not all bad, with the help of these pure-blood wizards, many things will be much easier in the future, so Doggett said after thinking about it for a while.
"Rozier must have this ability, and if you agree to his pleas, he can use this as a bargaining chip in front of those pure-blood wizards to ease the previous conflicts.
If he had been smarter enough to convince the captured pure-blood wizards to surrender and pull up a faction, it would not be impossible for him to pull up a faction. As for his desire to get rid of old Noether? That could be because Nott has a certain prestige among those pure-blood wizards and will be an obstacle to him. ”
Doggett talked eloquently and guessed Rozier's thoughts.
Speaking of this, Doggett hesitated for a moment, and then continued to suggest. "In any case, Rozier is a rebel after all, and may not be able to convince the public! You can stick a nail in them so that they are under your control at all times. ”
Ivan nodded, and as Doggett had said, some precautions were needed.
Especially since Rozier and those pure-blood wizards had just joined, and they were enemies before, it wouldn't be good if they colluded with each other to do something in the shadows.
Ivan, who has watched many conspiracy dramas in his previous life, is also very aware of the importance of mutual checks and balances.
However, Ivan did not agree to Doggett's proposal on the spot, and instead asked Ask Gert what he thought of Old Nott and what to do with Old Nott.
After Doggett answered one by one, Ivan let this guy go, he needed someone to think about it.
Although he didn't get an accurate answer from Ivan, Doggett seemed happy when he left, he knew very well that Ivan should have approved his proposal, and his originally urgent heart was immediately much more steady.
As long as the pure-blood wizards could not truly unite, the threat to his position would be greatly reduced.
"It's so hard for me!" When Doggett left the room, Ivan muttered to himself with a headache.
He had never been very interested in managing his subordinates, power struggles, and the like, and he was a complete half-ass, relying on a few words from books.
So much so that every time I sit on the throne and arrange things, I am afraid that I will say something wrong.
If only the system could quantify favorability and loyalty, so that he could know who was loyal and who was plotting badly.
It's okay to let yourself know what's going on in everyone's mind...
Ivan thought greedily and shouted a few words in his heart, but the system ignored him.
Fortunately, Ivan soon realized another substitute, the magic comparable to mind reading, the Guardian Mind!
As long as you learn this, you can easily see through what others are thinking, and in Ivan's opinion, it is simply a spell that must be learned by superiors, a cheat for managing complex interpersonal relationships!
Of course, the Regent's mind is not without weaknesses, and under normal circumstances, it can only read the surface thoughts of the other party, and if you dig deep into the memory, it is easy to be detected by the person concerned.
And there is a corresponding way to defend against it, which is Occlumency!
Ivan has a deep sense of cerebral occlusion, which can not only place a protective layer in the depths of the mind to resist the invasion of the deception, but also create some false memories to confuse the other party.
Raw Time and Space Snape relied on his superb Occlumency technique, repeatedly jumping sideways in front of the two Dementor Masters and becoming a double-sided undercover agent!
This proves that if a person is too superstitious about the information obtained by the Regents, then when he meets a master of Occlumency, he will definitely be pitied!
However, there are not many wizards in the British wizarding world who can master these two types of magic, and it is likely that they need some kind of talent.
Otherwise, such a practical magic wouldn't be available to only a few people, so there is no need to worry about overturning against ordinary wizards.
Thinking of this, Ivan left the Berginbock store without hesitation and went straight to his library.
Since the last time all the books in the Boggin Bock Magic Shop were removed, the collection here has been comparable to that of some pure-blood families.
It took Ivan more than an hour to dig out a few books about the Regent from the sea of books, and then sat down in the pile and flipped through them one by one.
It was like returning to the days of hard study, and Ivan spent the rest of his time on the study of the Regent, except for eating and sleeping for three days, and meeting with Rozier once on the way and agreeing to his request.
This kind of magic that snoops into other people's minds is much more difficult than the cultivation of brain occlusion!
There is a lot of high-end knowledge involved, and the relevant books are basically compiled by antiques hundreds of years ago, and they are not professionally deleted and refined like textbooks.
Maybe those old antiques think it's a little more twisty and looks more high-end?
Ivan really couldn't figure it out, but he waited for the book in his hand "The Mind of the Deception - The Magic of Spying into the Mind!" closed, and the system's prompt sounded.
[Ding, after a period of careful reading, the proficiency of the Regent has improved slightly. 】
[Regent's Mind has been upgraded to Level 1, and the current proficiency level is (1200.] 】
Ivan glanced at the extra spells in the magic bar, according to convention, upgrading to the first level means that he can already use this magic at the beginning, but the level of mastery is not high.
He was able to achieve this in three days, thanks in large part to his high level of Occlumency, and the two types of magic have a lot of similarities, both related to memory and mind.
The difference is that one is used for oneself and the other is for others!
However, it is not so easy to continue to improve such a special magic, just reading books has little effect, and it takes a lot of practice!
Ivan eagerly put down the book in his hand, ready to test the effect of this magic, and just as he turned his head, he saw a thin mouse sneaking through the library.
Squeak squeak...
The black-haired mouse was very keenly aware of Ivan's gaze, and his hair exploded, and he quickly turned around and wanted to escape.
"Rats are flying!" Ivan slowly drew his wand and tapped it lightly in midair.
The fleeing black rat soon found itself running and suddenly flew up, and then the surrounding scene quickly regressed.
It let out a piercing scream, its limbs scratching in mid-air to no avail, and a moment later a large face appeared in front of it.
Ivan maintained his magic power to levitate the mouse in mid-air, and in order to avoid contamination with germs, he did not touch it with his hands, and slowly rotated its body with his magic power, maintaining a posture of looking at himself.
Regent!
Ivan's eyes were fixed on the mouse, and the magic was activated, and slowly some chaotic emotions came to Ivan's mind.
Scared, nervous, frightened, dazed...
Although these Ivan could be analyzed from the curled up and trembling body of the mouse, this time it was different, as if he really felt the other party's emotions.
“Legilimency! (Regent)"
Ivan directly recited the incantation, increasing the intensity of the magic, and these emotions became clearer and clearer.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see through what the mouse was thinking directly by looking at each other, and he couldn't browse the other person's memories.
Ivan didn't know if it had something to do with the person he had chosen, or if it was because he wasn't good enough.
To confirm this, Ivan tried to wave his wand and shouted again.
“Legilimency! (Regent)"
The moment Ivan recited the spell, the black mouse's eyes widened sharply, his eyes became extremely dull, and Ivan's mind was filled with incoherent fragments of memory.
No, he even felt like he had become the rat, coming out of a dark, damp hole, hungry and crawling out ready to find food...
Ivan stumbled suddenly, hitting the cabinet behind him, and his magic was interrupted, leaving only some memories remaining.
Ivan pressed his forehead, a little strange, according to the book, the general receptivity is to see a memory from the perspective of a bystander, and it has very little effect on himself, not like himself.
Is it because you are very talented?
Ivan thought that the Regent had the ability to sense emotions and probe memories, and that the two could be combined to obtain information from the perspective of a subjective person in the memory-constructed scene.
But this is not a good thing, if the memories are explored too often, it is easy to affect your emotions, and those with poor willpower may not be able to distinguish that memory is their own.
Ivan sighed, the Dementor was afraid that this magic would be even more difficult to control than he had imagined.
In addition, he was disappointed that from the experiment just now, the Dementor Mind was not of a high level, and if he wanted to probe the other party's thoughts and memories, he had to use a wand and recite a spell!
This is completely different from the situation he expected to be able to know what the other party is thinking at a glance...
But yes, he remembered that the only people in the original plane who could really use the Regent at will were Voldemort and Dumbledore.
A novice like him is far from being able to do it to this extent.
Ivan shook his head, it seemed that he couldn't rely on it to judge what Rozier and the others were thinking before the Soul Capture was completed.
He can't wave his wand at them openly and recite incantations, right?
That's stupid!
No wizard wants his mind to be prying eyes, and all his secrets are exposed to others, even if Voldemort uses the Dementor on his subordinates, so as not to cause resentment.
The only thing that made Ivan happy was that they captured a lot of captives when they captured the wizard market, and after torture, several of them were extremely vicious people, just enough for him to practice his new magic!
......
In the evening, in the basement of the Borgin Bock store, the elder Rozier, led by two werewolf wizards, walked deeper.
In the past few days, the basement has been transformed into a makeshift prison for more than twenty prisoners to meet the needs.
And important pure-blood wizards such as Parkinson's and Abbot are imprisoned in the deepest part of the basement.
One of the werewolf wizards led Rozier Sr. to a converted storage room and unlocked the door, while the other spoke to Rozier Sr.
"They're locked up here, let's go in!"
"Yes! Great work! Thanks to two friends who took care of me during this time..."
Old Rozier smiled and said a few words, then took out a small bag from his pocket, covered it with his sleeve and handed it over, and continued in a low voice. "I want to talk to a few old friends alone, I don't know if I can give it a convenience, just a while!"
"We have to listen!" The werewolf wizard didn't take it, just looked at him coldly, unmoved.
They were living a good life now, and they were very grateful to Ivan, and they would not disobey orders for some money.
If the money was known to Fren, they would be severely punished or kicked out.
Old Rozier's face twitched, he didn't expect these werewolf wizards to reject him so bluntly, didn't he say that werewolves and poor ghosts were greedy for money?
"Ahem... You may have misunderstood what I meant, but His Excellency Hals asked me to persuade me to surrender, and in the future, everyone will be our own people, and if you go in, it may affect my work! ”
Old Rozier comforted him bitterly, and he didn't dare to say too sharp words, after all, he had just returned to obedience not long ago, and he didn't have any team power under his hands, so he couldn't get up.
However, no matter what old Rozier said, the two werewolf wizards did not mean to let go, they showed great determination!
"Rozier, you traitor still has the face to come to us!"
Just as the elder Rozier was about to continue his persuasion, a shrill female voice came from the storage room.
The soundproofing here can only be regarded as average, and the sound of old Rozier talking to the werewolf wizard outside the door can be heard very clearly inside.
Old Rozier shrugged helplessly, and no longer admonished the two werewolves, but opened the door of the storage room, walked in, and explained.
"Don't say that, Fiona, know I'm here to help you!"
Under the gaze of old Rozier, Fiona and the others were shackled to restrict magic, although they didn't seem to be tortured, but they all looked a little sluggish.
For pure-blood wizards who are used to living a good life, being a prisoner is not very pleasant...
Fiona Parkinson and Foley looked at old Rozier with hatred, if it weren't for the betrayal of the other party, they wouldn't have fallen to this point.
