Chapter 353: Did You Kill Him? Why?
Of course, isn't it just looking for someone? No questions asked! Hearing Ivan's request, Walker patted his chest with a big grin and reassured.
"Then this is my test for you!" Ivan smiled and said casually.
Walker nodded solemnly.
While chatting like this, the three of them quickly returned to their temporary mansion.
Ivan had just pushed open the door to find Althea sitting in the hall, flipping through a thick notebook-like book.
"You're back—" Althea looked up, noticing the movement at the door.
Noticing the dust and exhaustion on their bodies, Althea drew her wand and lit it on the round table, where a plate of delicious desserts and a few glasses of milk juice were placed.
"How? Is it still going well? Would you like a late-night snack? Althea asked with a smile.
"It went well! Hermione learned the spell much faster than I expected... And Walker, the thunderbolt explosion he uses is very powerful, and it seems that this spell works well for him! Ivan glanced at Hermione and Walker and complimented.
Hermione pursed her lips reservedly, her eyes shining with joy, and Walker touched the back of her head and smiled proudly.
After practicing outside for so long, the three of them were a little hungry, Ivan casually picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, and then gulped most of the juice into it.
Although he didn't have to cast spells to practice, he was very tired after explaining for hours.
"By the way, there's something I haven't told you yet... Bock is dead! Aisya said suddenly.
What the?
Ivan, who was drinking the juice, almost squirted out the juice in one gulp, he remembered that this guy Bock didn't want to open it recently? Mingming had a very happy chat with him in the afternoon.
Could it be that he suddenly became autistic again?
Ivan is a pity, in his opinion, Bock still has a lot of crooked ideas, and he has not learned all of Bock's alchemy knowledge, so he originally wanted Bock to live for a while.
"Anyway, come with me first!" Althea put down her notebook and stood up, her expression very serious.
Ivan nodded, and followed Althea towards the room where Bock was being held.
It wasn't until he actually saw Bock's body that Ivan realized that the situation was different from what he had imagined.
Bock didn't commit suicide at all, but was killed by some powerful black magic, and there was a faint black mist seeping out of the corpse.
Ivan frowned, subconsciously thinking that someone had infiltrated and killed Bock for some purpose, only to dismiss the idea because Ivan noticed an empty reagent bottle being thrown on the ground.
Ivan remembered that he had used it to hold the elixir, and after boiling it once before, he threw it into the storage room, and put it with the other potions, which was not very conspicuous.
If someone sneaks in, it's unlikely that they will know where the elixir is, let alone use it openly, because everyone else in the mansion is blind...
So there is only one possibility, and that is Aisyah's hand!
"Mom.. Did you kill him? Why? Ivan looked at Althea in bewilderment.
Although he knew that Aisya and Bock had fought for many years and had a grudge, since he had not done anything before, it proved that Althea was still able to tolerate Bock alive...
"You dare to ask me why? It's not because you've told him so many things you shouldn't have said, why don't you want to think about what if Bock didn't spread the word about it? And how much will it affect us? Aisya pinched Ivan's cheek angrily, and rebuked angrily.
Ivan was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, he quickly understood what Althea was talking about.
Because he thought he was wrong, Ivan didn't dare to refute it. It was indeed without his consent that he privately took out the core alchemy knowledge taught by Aisya to share and discuss with Bock.
However, Ivan didn't plan to let Bock out alive at that time, so it was hastily determined that Bock had no chance of leaking.
Now that I think about it, this is inappropriate.
After all, the people who have the opportunity to contact Bock, in addition to him and Aisya, there are also those werewolf wizards, and they have to be a little more wary.
Thinking of this, Ivan assured Althea again and again, saying that he would definitely discuss with her next time before making a decision.
It was not easy for Althea to dissipate his anger, and Ivan brought up another matter.
"Mom, Flon and they lost their jobs because of our attack on the Borgin Bock shop, so I agreed to recruit them to work for us.
Don't worry about salary, I earned a lot of gold gallons at Hogwarts last year, and taking out some of it will be enough to cope with it for a while..."
Lesbian disagreed, and Ivan directly took over the salaries of Fren and others. Anyway, it doesn't cost much for a month, and when the branch in Diagon Alley opens, it won't be long before you can earn it all back!
Aisya had long guessed that Ivan wanted to win over Furren and the others, and use these werewolf wizards as the core team to develop forces, so she agreed.
The performance of Fren and the others in the past two years Althea has been watching it, and some time ago she investigated the details of the werewolf wizard, there is nothing suspicious, and it can still be trusted!
But thinking of this, Aisya hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but rub Ivan's head and make a sound. "There are some things you don't have to be in such a hurry, it's not too late to do it in a few years!"
Althea felt that Ivan seemed to be in a bit of a hurry, even if he had the ideal of transforming the magical world and was preparing to target Dumbledore, it would take it step by step, and it was best to wait until he became an adult to slowly arrange.
"How can that work?" Ivan shook his head firmly.
For him, of course, the sooner the better!
Don't look at the fact that Bock is dead, and those dark wizards who need to be vigilant have also been killed, but it is not safe to overturn the alley after all, it is better to open the magic shop to Diagon Alley!
"Alas. Take your liking! Looking at the stubborn Ivan, Aisya sighed.
Since Ivan insisted so much, Aisya did not persuade him anymore, and instead handed him the notebook he had been carrying.
"This is what I asked from Bock with a truth spit, and it should be that he has kept what he didn't teach you."
Ivan took the thick notebook and looked through it, and found that the contents recorded in it were some advanced alchemy and black magic knowledge, which should be the things that Bock really pressed the bottom of the box.
Ivan was very surprised, he was still sorry that after Bock's death, he lacked a mentor who could help him quickly improve his alchemy, but he didn't expect Althea to use the truth potion to record this knowledge.
