Chapter 348: Bock: It turns out that you have such an ambition in secret!
When he opened the door, Ivan couldn't help but be stunned, Bock was sitting in the corner eating a few shortbreads, and his complexion was much better than before, at least not so thin as skinny.
Of course, Bock noticed that someone was coming in the room, but he didn't pay attention to it, and still ate by himself, and only after eating did he look up at Ivan and said casually.
"Looks like I'm going to die, you're here to kill me this time?"
Ivan was surprised by Bock's attitude, obviously a few days ago, he was looking for life in an instant, and he looked stubbornly resisting, but now he behaved very casually.
"No, I'm just here to ask you a few questions!"
Surprised to surprised, Ivan didn't care too much about Bock's abnormality, sat down directly, took out a few alchemy books and put them in front of him.
"You think I'm going to tell you?" Bock understood what Ivan meant, and immediately laughed angrily.
Although he has figured out a lot in the past few days, he will not deliberately go on a hunger strike to embarrass himself, and is ready to quietly wait for death to come, but this does not mean that he will help Ivan, the person who caused him to lose everything!
Ivan didn't speak, and took out a bottle of truth elixir.
The sneering smile on Bock's face paused, and his face turned ugly, and he knew that Ivan was threatening him.
If you answer honestly, you can still decide what to say and what not to say, but if you drink the elixir, then you can't help yourself.
After Bock was silent for a long time, he finally understood the compromise of current affairs and said helplessly.
"What exactly are you trying to ask?"
"I saw an interesting trick in this book to set a secret door inside a magical object." Ivan took out one of the books and flipped to page thirty-seven.
Bock looked at the name of the book,
The Mystery of Alchemy - Seventy Yin Man Techniques You Don't Know
It suddenly became clear to Bock that this was one of the books he read most often in his early years, and he naturally knew the contents by heart.
"I ran into some trouble when I followed the instructions in the book and experimented with it myself, for example, I wanted to modify a protective prop and set it to be ineffective against a certain kind of magic, but I failed many times in the process of transformation..."
Ivan kept talking about the problems he had encountered in the process of research and study.
The last time he almost overturned at Lockhart's, Ivan came up with the idea of setting up some secret doors when making magic items, so that the things he made with his own hands would not be used by others against him in the future.
It's a pity that Althea doesn't know much about the aspect, so Ivan kept it on hold until he found the relevant books in the collection of the Boginbock Magic Store, and then he remembered the matter again.
Bock listened to Ivan's question, hesitated for a while, and felt that this question was not too difficult, even if he didn't say it, Ivan would figure it out sooner or later, so he spoke.
"Your ideas and practices are so extreme that it's so difficult to have a protective item open a backdoor to a particular type of magic, even I can't do it.
So you can think differently and let that item automatically damage when it senses a certain magic fluctuation, or even explode directly to kill the owner! ”
When Ivan heard this, his eyes lit up, Bock deserved to be a good hand of Yin people, which was much more clever than his previous thoughts, and it was easier to make.
Soon, Ivan and Bock discussed a specific plan to transform the protective props.
At first, Bock just passively answered Ivan's questions, but Ivan's yin people's ideas one after another soon made Bock's heart itch, and finally he couldn't hold back and said a few more words...
Ivan chatted and chatted, and suddenly a question came to mind, so he asked. "By the way, Mr. Bogin, has the secret door you set up before been discovered?"
"How is that possible!" Bock smiled disdainfully, if he had been so easily discovered, he wouldn't have survived today.
Of course, he wouldn't do this with every magic item he sold, it would be too tiring, and it would be easy to have problems if he ran into someone who knew the goods.
"Who are you going to sell this thing to?" Bock hesitated for a moment, and asked casually with some curiosity.
"What if I'm going to sell to the Ministry of Magic? How likely are they to find out? Ivan hesitated, but did not hide it, Bock's life and death were in his hands, and it was impossible to leak information.
And what he wanted to know, Bock probably knew something, so asking from him was the quickest way.
Don't look at the Ministry of Magic as the official institution of the wizarding world, but in Ivan's eyes, you can't be unguarded.
He remembered that during the Second Wizarding War, the Ministry of Magic was even controlled by Voldemort for a time, and the ministers became puppets, who in turn hunted down Harry and the others.
Although the plot has long since changed, and Voldemort may not have a chance to be resurrected, the threat of the Ministry of Magic has not been eliminated, and it is still necessary to prepare early.
Just after Ivan spoke, Bock suddenly thought of something, his pupils constricted, and he immediately asked.
"You're going to leave a secret door on the protective items you sold to the Ministry of Magic?"
"Yes!" Ivan nodded.
Bock looked at the little wizard in front of him, and a chill welled up in his heart.
He had carefully studied Althea's movements because of the previous planning of the attack, so he knew about their cooperation with the Ministry of Magic last year.
It is also known that the Ministry of Magic has purchased a lot of protective items from Althea for the Aurors to use, which led to the Ministry of Magic's clean-up operation last year being unusually smooth.
At the beginning, Bock wondered why Althea suddenly cooperated with the Ministry of Magic, and was very considerate to provide damage repair services for protective props.
Now it looks like this is the next big move!
It turns out that they have been calculating the Ministry of Magic since then!
Bock couldn't help but wonder what would happen one day when the Aurors who had bought protective rings confronted them.
Just thinking about it made Bock shudder.
However, as an opponent for many years, he knew Althea, and that woman should not have the idea of wanting to control the wizarding world, otherwise, she would not have stayed in Tumbledown Alley for more than ten years.
Then it's only possible...
Bock's cloudy eyes looked at Ivan, and he gasped, he couldn't believe that a teenager was ready to calculate the Ministry of Magic last year, and boldly made such an arrangement!
But Bock soon remembered that the little wizard in front of him could not be deduced by common sense, whether it was words and deeds, or strength and talent, he far surpassed his peers.
He was even more impressed by the extraordinary power of explosive magic and the special white Patronus...
"Remarkable! I didn't lose unjustly..."Bock sighed with a wry smile, he thought that he was obsessed with the petty profits in the overturned alley, but he didn't think that the other party might not have put himself in his eyes at all...
