Chapter 359: The Prototype of the New Wizard Law
"Oh?" the Prime Minister became serious, pulling out a notebook and a pen.
"The initiators of this war hated Muggles and wanted to rule and enslave them. "Oh, you don't have to write it down, it's not good to be seen, we'll talk about it after the war." ”
"Okay. "The Prime Minister put things away.
"His followers are called Death Eaters, and of course, they don't eat the dead, it's just a code name. "Of course they don't like Muggles, but they can't follow the mystery men into this war just because they hate Muggles." Some of them are in pursuit of power - unfortunately, the Mystic is indeed the strongest wizard in the world, or at least does provide wizards with a quick way to become stronger, and some of them are in pursuit of immortality - so the Mystic claims that he has a way to eternal life, and that he has indeed risen from the dead, which leads to even more conviction, and of course some of them simply worship him, blindly follow him, or fear him, and these are the states of the upper Death Eaters. ”
"Well, it's all weird......" Rand said gloomily, waiting for Lockhart's next explanation.
Indeed, why would the lower Death Eaters follow the Mysteries, because in the social structure promised by the Mysteries, even the most wasteful wizards would be far above the Muggles with the highest social status. Muggles and wizards will become almost two creatures, and everything you produce, your possessions, your beautiful wives and even daughters, will be at the mercy of wizards who don't even have the right to hold a rod, and you, because the military and political heads are controlled, have no ability to resist at all. ”
"It's horrible...... This is exactly what the Secrecy Act is trying to prevent. The prime minister said with a pale face.
"Yes, this is a war for us to reclaim our position, and even more so for you. The point is that the wizards at the top of the wizarding world live like nobles, while the wizards at the bottom are worse off than Muggle commoners, which is obviously unscientific - these wizards are not very good. Apparently in compliance with the Confidentiality Act. "And what happened to the property of those high-class wizards, and whether it was entirely through normal means? The most plausible explanation is that after they have completed their primitive accumulation by means prohibited by the Secrecy Law, they can use their money to roll over their money, and they can live a good life without doing illegal things." ”
"The Malfoys, in particular, are better off than most wizards on just collecting rent. Scrimgeour gave an example.
"Understandable, you mean......" Rand asked, "maybe we can give all wizards a social security?"
"That's exactly what I was hoping for, and that's how I've heard that wizards and governments in the U.S. work together. The U.S. government provides a large amount of money to the Ministry of Magic, which is issued by the Ministry of Magic to all wizards in return for their compliance with the Secrecy Act. Lockhart said, "And the Ministry of Magic will also restrain all wizards for the Muggle government in the United States - do you know why the mysterious people can easily seize the Ministry of Magic, because the Ministry of Magic is basically in the hands of those rich pure-blood wizards: the Ministry of Magic itself does not have much income, there are only tens of thousands of wizards in the United Kingdom, and there are only 3,000 with complete information, payment of management fees, and possession of their own wand...... As a result, the Ministry of Magic is actually underfunded, so the bulk of its daily maintenance costs come from donations from large families. ”
"Political contributions?" the prime minister asked.
"I haven't heard of that term. Lockhart shook his head, "We just need to understand that the Ministry of Magic has taken money from these big families. Naturally, important positions should also be reserved for these pure-blood wizards...... And many pure-blood wizards supported the adversary, either explicitly or implicitly. ”
"Understood. The Prime Minister nodded, "So the best way is for the Ministry of Magic to accept grants from the Muggle government to keep his own economy close to independence so that it is not easy to control - but I can't just get you a grant." I will be questioned by parliament and the opposition. ”
"Let's talk about it then, wizards have a Soul Snatcher Charm and a Confusion Charm, and if you need to convince or gag someone, just let us know. ”
"That's not a problem. It would be nice to have this allocation in some other form - strictly speaking, it should be considered security expenses, and you can add it to the allocation to MI5 in the name of stability maintenance. Rand proposed. "As long as society does become more stable after this grant increase, there is little doubt about it. The point is, can Mr. Lockhart guarantee to restrain all wizards?"
"Yes - whoever doesn't accept restraint, I'll kill him. Lockhart said lightly, "I have lost my most beloved elder in this war, I myself have been wounded, even died once, and the girl I love and love me has suffered a lot." I won't be soft on any enemy anymore, I don't mind singing a black face, no one can help me anyway. ”
"Dead once?" asked the Prime Minister in surprise, "do wizards have the skills to bring the dead back to life?" ”
"No, that's just it. Lockhart didn't want to explain that.
"Well, then, after this appropriation goes down, at least the Ministry of Magic will be more transparent with us......" Rand said, "In the past, no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't get into that circle at all, and we didn't ask for anything that could influence your policies, and after the war we asked for at least one MI5 Muggle wizard to join the Ministry of Magic as a representative of our government." ”
"I don't need to say I'll do the same, the first post-war Ministry of Magic officials, even if they are less capable, I have to make sure that they are against the mystery man first. Lockhart glanced at Scrimthour, "Rufus, there is no doubt that you will be the first Minister of Magic after the war, and you must agree with that." ”
"That's right, I've had this idea for a long time, the first high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic after the war must be from the Aurors or the Order of the Phoenix, and the mid-level officials also try not to choose those from pure-blood families, maybe I can offer you a few places, and you can choose the Muggle wizards you want to install in. Scrimgeour nodded, "Wait until the mystery man is completely eliminated, or the situation stabilizes to a certain level, and then pick the right person." ”
"Great, I can't wait to witness this Muggle and wizarding battle now...... "The Prime Minister said excitedly, "So, is there any problem?" ”
"I can't think of it for the time being, we still have some problems to solve. Lockhart shook his head, "Let's wait until I figure out how to get into the Ministry of Magic, and now, who will take me to get a nuclear bomb?"
"I'll arrange a visit to a nuclear military base for you, but it's impossible to arrange for you to take the bomb. The Prime Minister said, "When the time comes, you can use magical magic to confuse the soldiers there and bring them out, and Rand and we will take a few Mr. Wizards with us." ”
"Go now. ”
"Come back tomorrow at this time, I need to arrange it, this matter is more troublesome. The Prime Minister said, "My assistant, and this Miss Maggie—"
"I'll take care of it, change their memories to what we need, and even turn them into my own people in an instant. "It depends on whether these two friends are regularly examined by the Ministry of Magic or have Occlumency. ”
"I can let you modify my memory, I'm not a Death Eater. Maggie said bluntly.
"Well, you come with me to the next room, and I'll modify your memories. Lockhart took out his wand and performed a levitation spell on the assistant minister lying in the corner, pointing to Maggie and leading them both to the assistant's office next door. "You guys are waiting for me here, and I'll come out when I'm done revising my memory. ”
Arriving in the next room, Lockhart placed the assistant minister in a chair while communicating the magic of the room, enveloping Maggie.
"I don't know which Muggle Intelligence agent or Auror is better, but I'm better than any wizard you've ever met," Lockhart didn't move, just stating one thing. "So, just stand and don't make a little move, you know. ”
"Understood. "Poor Miss Maggie is just a novice wizard agent who has only been working for a few years, and she is enveloped by Lockhart's unreserved momentum, and she can't give birth to the slightest thought of resistance, and her teeth fight. "I don't move!"
The new body was so powerful, the momentum was so terrifying, and the threat was so effective—perhaps Peter couldn't blame him entirely for the fact that he surrendered and betrayed Voldemort when he saw him. In the face of great terror, the life of a friend is certainly not as important as his own.
Lockhart thought so, gave Maggie a satisfied look, crouched down and began to examine the assistant minister's brain.
No Occlumency, look at the memories, not a veteran agent, just sent to spy on the Prime Minister to make sure he didn't rebel against the Ministry of Magic's plans, wizards, especially Death Eaters...... Their contempt for Muggles was so thorough and ingrained that they didn't expect the Order of the Phoenix and the Aurors to come into contact with the Prime Minister.
They can't be blamed, even wizards like Lockhart, who don't know where to get a Muggle's mutilated memories of the world, have more or less contempt for Muggles until they really see the power of Muggles.
――
Although this guy doesn't have Occlumency, he needs to go back to the Ministry of Magic once a month to get checked to make sure he's not breaking the rules or being controlled by the Imperius Curse. But it seems that there is no need to worry about so much, and if things go well, they will get their hands on it in a few days.
Lockhart simply took control of the wizard with the Imperius Curse, and then- he needed to suck some blood.
Maggie watched in horror as Lockhart sucked a few mouthfuls of blood from the unconscious wizard's neck before walking towards herself......
"A man's blood is so hard to drink. Lockhart wrinkled his nose in disgust and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Now it's your turn." ”
"No, no, no...... Don't kill me...... "The young witch retreated in fright, "Didn't you say modify the memory, I'll lift my own brain occlusion!"
"Let's make some contribution to the stability and harmony of the wizarding world first, and modify the memory at once. Lockhart had a paralyzing spell that stopped her from pulling out her wand, and he put his arm around her and began to suck blood......
