Chapter 353 Recruiting Werewolves
Facing Asia's question, Bock didn't know how to defend himself for a while. He never thought that his identity as a master alchemist would one day become an obstacle!
Seeing Asia raising her wand, Bock couldn't help but smile miserably.
He suddenly thought that maybe he shouldn't be so smart. If he didn't know Ivan's plan against the Ministry of Magic, he might still have a chance to survive.
However, after a moment of hesitation, Asia put down the wand temporarily, took out the Veritaserum just now, and forced it into Bock's mouth.
Before killing Bock, Asia wanted to find out if there was anything hidden in the other person's previous words.
If possible, she was also prepared to let Bock reveal all the core alchemy knowledge.
At the same time, in the empty ruins on the side of Knockturn Alley.
Ivan, who was teaching Hermione and Walker, didn't know that Burke was being treated inhumanely. He was still concentrating on teaching the two what they had missed during practice.
"Walker, don't look around at me, focus!"
"And Hermione! Your emotions are not intense enough. You must know that the effect of this magic is explosion! You can try to imagine the feeling of destroying everything! Slowly shake the wand down, then lift it up, and now recite the spell !”
"Thunderbolt explosion!" Hermione said loudly, a small wisp of flame floated out from the top of the wand, and slowly expanded into an orange-red fireball the size of a fist. After a moment, it crashed into the ruins ahead.
boom!
Along with a roar and smoke, a huge boulder in the ruins was blown out of a hole the size of a human head.
"Very good! It seems you have successfully learned it!" Ivan turned to look at Hermione and said with a smile.
Hermione grinned from ear to ear with joy, but still reservedly said that she was still far from perfect and needed to continue practicing.
She clearly remembered that the thunderbolt explosion released by Ivan could easily blow up a wall. In comparison, her own magical power was too weak.
Ivan shook his head in amusement. Hermione was undoubtedly asking for trouble by comparing him to him.
However, Ivan didn't mean to comfort Hermione. It would be good to set a higher goal. At least the little witch was much stronger than her in the original time and space.
If the wizarding world becomes chaotic in the future, Hermione will be able to protect herself.
"Miss Granger, you learned it so quickly?" Walker was also attracted by the sound of the explosion. He looked at the holes blown out of the boulder and exclaimed.
He has just figured out some clues, and he doesn't know how long it will take to master the thunderbolt explosion.
"Well, you're the only one left now!" Ivan knew Walker's temperament, so he deliberately stimulated him.
"Just watch, I'm fast too, twenty minutes at most!" Walker gritted his teeth and worked harder while enviing Hermione.
Ivan stood aside and corrected Walker's mistakes in casting spells, while Hermione continued to review.
With Walker's hard work, he finally mastered this difficult magic before the sky completely darkened, and the pile of rocks in the ruins was destroyed again.
Since Walker is five or six years older than Hermione and has much more magic power than her, the power of the thunderbolt explosion is amazing, instantly blowing a large rock into pieces!
After seeing the damage he had caused, Walker's previously battered confidence was restored. Then he let himself go, blasting the ruins with thunderbolt explosions one after another, causing rubble to fly everywhere, and it was a great time.
"Okay, stop playing! It's almost time, let's go back first!" Ivan glanced at the dim sky and interrupted.
Walker stopped with hesitation, Ivan then called Hermione, and the three of them walked along the path towards the temporary residence.
Halfway through, Ivan remembered that when he was eating, he saw that Fulun's expression seemed a little gloomy, so he asked aloud.
"Walker, have you encountered any trouble recently? I see that Fulen seems unhappy these days."
The happy look on Walker's face suddenly dropped, and he poured out his bitterness to Ivan.
Since it was already known to everyone that the Ministry of Magic had discovered the corpses of several werewolf wizards in the Borgin Bock Magic Shop some time ago, the life of werewolves like them in Knockturn Alley has become increasingly difficult.
Many stores were unwilling to provide them with jobs anymore. They felt that werewolf wizards were a group of thugs, and even suspected that they participated in the attack on the magic store. No matter how Flan and others explained, it was of no avail.
If they hadn't been able to eat in the temporary residence these days, they might have been hungry.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ivan didn't expect that his raid on Bojinbok Magic Store would cause such a big dilemma for Fulen and others.
"Fullen said he was going to try for another day or two. If he can't convince those stores, I'll trouble you again." Walker scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.
"What's the trouble? You risked your lives to help me catch Bock before. Speaking of which, I haven't had time to thank you yet." Ivan smiled, and then continued.
"When you go back, you can talk to Fulen and ask him if he is willing to work for me. As for the salary, it will be paid according to the salary of ordinary employees in Diagon Alley!"
"Really? That's great!" Walker said excitedly. Fulen had been worried about working for them 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 monthly daily expenses.
In comparison, Ivan is simply too generous! They were actually prepared to pay them the same salary as normal wizards, still based on Diagon Alley standards. This made Walker feel like a dream!
But while he was excited, Walker was also a little worried, because in his opinion, Ivan didn't seem to need so many people.
But Walker always felt very awkward if he was paid such a high salary without doing anything. Thinking of this, Walker tentatively asked.
"Hals, I wonder what you are going to ask us to do?"
Ivan pondered for a moment, thinking that he had learned some interesting alchemy knowledge from Bock, and then spoke.
"I will probably open a branch in Diagon Alley next year. It will definitely need someone to take care of it, and you will have to be responsible for additional security work!"
"Before that, please do one more thing for me. I heard from Bock that he originally arranged for some spies to go out to find out the news. Your task is to find them all!"
