Faced with Althea's questioning, Bock didn't know how to defend for a while, he never thought that his identity as an alchemy master would one day become an obstacle!

Seeing Althea raise her wand, Bock couldn't help but laugh miserably.

It occurred to him that perhaps he shouldn't have been clever, and if he hadn't known Ivan's plan for the Ministry of Magic, he might have a chance to survive.

However, after hesitating for a moment, Althea put down her wand for the time being, and instead took out the truth potion just now, and forcibly poured it into Bock.

Before killing Bock, Althea wanted to find out if there was anything to hide from the other party's previous words...

If she could, she was also prepared to let Bock reveal all of his core alchemy knowledge.

......

Meanwhile, in the empty ruins on the side of Tumbledown Alley.

Ivan, who was teaching Hermione and Walker, had no idea that Bock was being treated inhumanely, and he was still intently pointing out what the two had missed in practice.

"Walker, don't look me around, concentrate!"

"And Hermione! Your emotions aren't intense enough, know that the effect of this magic is blasting! You can try to imagine what it feels like to destroy everything! ...... Slowly shake your wand downward, pick it up again, and now pronounce the incantation! ”

"Thunderbolt Explosion!" Hermione said aloud, and a tiny flame floated out from the tip of her wand and slowly expanded into a fist-sized orange fireball, crashing into the ruins in front of her moments.

Rumble!

With a roar, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and a boulder in the ruins was blasted out of a hole the size of a human head.

"Excellent! Looks like you've made it! Ivan turned his head to look at Hermione and said with a smile.

Hermione closed her mouth happily, but she was still reserved and said that she was still far from it and needed to continue practicing.

She remembered vividly that the thunderbolt explosion released by Ivan could easily blow up a wall... In comparison, his magic power is too weak.

Ivan shook his head amusedly, Hermione was undoubtedly asking for trouble by comparing him.

However, Ivan didn't mean to convince Hermione, and it was good to set a higher goal, at least the little witch was much stronger than her in the original plane.

If the wizarding world is in chaos in the future, Hermione will be able to protect herself.

"Miss Granger, you learned so quickly?" Also attracted by the sound of the explosion was Walker, who looked at the crater that had been blown out of the boulder and said in a speechless manner.

He's just figured out what to do, and he doesn't know how long it will take to get hold of the Thunderbolt Blast.

"Well, I'm going to send you now!" Ivan knew Walker's temperament, so he deliberately stimulated.

"Look, I'm fast, twenty minutes at most!" Walker gritted his teeth, envious of Hermione, pushing harder and harder.

Ivan stood aside and corrected Walker's mistakes while Hermione continued to study.

Thanks to Walker's hard work, he was able to master this difficult magic before the sky was completely dark, and the ruins were once again destroyed.

Since Walker was five or six years older than Hermione, and his magic power was much more abundant than her, the power of the thunderbolt explosion was amazing, and it blew a large rock into pieces in an instant!

After seeing the damage he had wrought, Walker's battered confidence returned. Then he let himself go, and one thunderbolt after another exploded into the ruins, sending debris flying everywhere, and having fun.

"Alright, stop playing! It's almost time, let's go back first! Ivan took a look at the dim sky and interrupted.

Walker stopped before Ivan called Hermione, and the three of them walked down the path towards the makeshift mansion.

Halfway through, Ivan remembered that when he had eaten before, he saw that Fren's expression seemed a little gloomy, so he asked out loud.

"Walker, have you been in trouble lately? I don't think Flen is being happy these days. ”

The happy look on Walker's face suddenly drooped, and he poured bitter water at Ivan.

Since it is well known that the Ministry of Magic found several werewolf wizard corpses in the Boginbock Magic Store some time ago, the lives of these werewolves in Tumbledown Alley have become more and more difficult.

Many of the shopkeepers were reluctant to give them any more jobs, believing that werewolf wizards were a bunch of thugs, and even suspected that they were involved in the attack on the magic shop, no matter how Furlen and the others explained...

If they hadn't been able to eat in the makeshift mansion these days, they might have gone hungry.

"Then why didn't you tell me sooner?" Ivan didn't expect that his raid on the Boggin Bock Magic Store would cause such a big predicament to Fren and the others.

"Flon said that he was going to try again for a day or two, and if he couldn't convince those stores, he would trouble you again..."Walker scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.

"What's the trouble with this? You risked your lives to help me catch Bock, and I haven't had time to thank you yet. Ivan smiled, then continued.

"When you go back, you can talk to Furren and ask him if he'd like to come and work for me... As for the treatment, it will be paid according to the salary of the general employees in Diagon Alley! ”

"Really? That's great! Walker said excitedly, but Flon had been worried about their work for several days.

Not to mention that sometimes even if they find a suitable job, the salary offered by those businesses is extremely low, which is not enough for their daily expenses every month...

In comparison, Ivan is simply too generous! Actually preparing to pay them the same salary as normal wizards, or by the standards of Diagon Alley, made Walker feel like a dream!

However, at the same time as he was excited, Walker was also a little worried, because in his opinion, Ivan did not seem to need to use so many manpower.

But if you don't do anything and get such a high salary, Walker always feels very awkward, thinking of this, Walker tentatively asked.

"Hals, I wonder what you're going to make us do?"

Ivan pondered for a moment, remembering that he had learned some interesting alchemy knowledge from Bock, and spoke.

"I'm probably going to open a branch in Diagon Alley next year, and I'm going to need someone to take care of it, and you'll have to take care of the extra security!"

"Until then, you're going to do one more thing for me, and I've heard from Bock that he had sent some spies out to find out the news, and your task is to find them all!"
