Kindness? What the? Did I think that way?

Ivan looked confused, he couldn't turn the corner for a while, he didn't expect that his accidental mistake would be misunderstood like this...

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and swallowed the original apology words.

At this point, of course Ivan will not take the initiative to expose the truth, it is completely thankless, not to mention that it will damage his tall image in the eyes of everyone, and it will make old Rozier dissatisfied.

Therefore, Ivan could only continue to follow the words of old Rozier.

"Ahem... Very well, it seems that you understand my intentions! Ivan coughed lightly, spoke slowly, and then continued with a pretended dissatisfaction.

"But I thought you would be more clever, so as not to reveal your identity, most of the time you won't need this backhand, but I didn't expect to be discovered by them."

"I'm sorry, Lord Hals, but I've been as careful as I can... It's really that Foley was too treacherous, and bought my servants, and he became suspicious knowing that I had been out a lot these days...", explained old Rozier with great chagrin.

Before, he was still a little puzzled, why didn't Ivan just say it directly, in case he couldn't think of this at all, and even resented it, wouldn't it be in vain to waste all this effort?

It wasn't until now that old Rozier realized that it was the other party who thought he was too smart!

And it turned out that he was clearly unworthy!

Thinking of this, old Rozier was very ashamed, he only thought of the first and second layers of meaning and secretly rejoiced in his heart, but he didn't understand that there was actually a third layer of meaning, it seems that he is still far away!

In the face of such a brain supplement master, Ivan didn't dare to pretend too much, and hurriedly said a few words of comfort, and even did not hesitate to praise the quick wit shown by old Rozier in the conference room.

Without prior notice, the elder Rozier was able to instantly realize the meaning of the lights out, and directly took action to cause chaos, which made Ivan very satisfied.

After verbal compliments, Ivan took out his wand and cast a counter-spell to erase the wounds on Rozier's waist and abdomen.

Seeing that this scar that had plagued him for a long time was gradually healing, old Rozier was really relieved, he was really worried that he would bleed to death in the past two days, so that he couldn't sleep steadily.

"Anyway, you're doing a good job this time, do you have anything you want?" Ivan looked at old Rozier and asked casually.

Based on his experience of watching TV dramas for many years, the other party has just surrendered and made meritorious contributions, and it always feels bad not to reward him.

It's just that after opening his mouth, Ivan regretted it a little, because he found that he didn't seem to have anything to reward the other party with.

Or a hundred Galleons?

Isn't that too little? Add another hundred?

Ivan was torn, and he was worried that old Rozier would say something that he couldn't do, which would be embarrassing.

"I would like to implore Lord Hals to forgive Forlì!" Old Rozier hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"Are you sure?" Ivan was stunned, a little surprised.

He remembered that when old Rozier betrayed those pure-blood wizards, he was very simple, and now he would actually come to intercede, Ivan really couldn't understand what he was doing.

"Although we have some small conflicts on weekdays, we have been friends for decades after all, so I want to try to persuade them to work for you together, and please give me this opportunity!" Old Rozier said with a sad expression on his face.

Ivan raised an eyebrow, he didn't believe that old Rozier was doing this thankless job for the sake of so-called friendship.

Because you can think with your knees that Foley and the others have gotten rid of the identity of the prisoners, most of them are trying to settle accounts with the betrayer of old Rozier.

However, the handling of these pure-blood wizards was a headache for him, so if old Rozier could convince them to surrender, he wouldn't mind.

The question is whether old Rozier can do this, and whether the pure-blood wizards are really willing to submit, instead of pretending to surrender and secretly stumbling in secret.

"Do you know Rhys Knott?" Ivan asked suddenly.

Old Rozier paused, not quite understanding why Ivan suddenly said this, but he hurriedly replied. "Of course, he is the nephew of old Noether, and was taken away by your werewolf wizard during the battle of the manor two days ago."

"And what about his relationship with old Nott?" Ivan asked again.

"Old Knott has no son, and if nothing else, Rhys Knott will be his successor when he dies!" Old Rozier explained to Ivan.

The Noether family is scarce, and several brothers have joined the Death Eaters in the last wizarding war, either at the hands of the Aurors or squatting in Azkaban, and the only existing direct members are Rhys and Old Noether.

Old Rozier also vaguely reminded Ivan that using Rhys to coerce Old Noether might be a good way.

"Is that so?" Ivan nodded, indicating that he understood, and then added.

"Rhys Knott died two days ago!"

"Dead? How did he die? Old Rozier first asked suspiciously, but soon guessed something, and hurriedly changed his words and pretended to hate it, and shouted loudly.

"Good death! Rhys Knott dared to offend Your Excellency, it's more than innocent! ”

Ivan rolled his eyes, he really didn't know what to say about this sycophant.

At the same time, Ivan also keenly noticed that the old Rozier seemed to be very happy after learning of the death of Reece Nott, and his expression did not seem to be pretending.

Is there any grudge between them?

Ivan frowned, he really couldn't figure it out.

After guessing that Rhys Knott had died at the hands of Ivan, the elder Rozier was overjoyed.

Because Nott has a lot of prestige in their small group, if this incident hadn't happened, then it would not be certain who Foley, Abbott and the others would listen to after they surrendered.

Old Rozier didn't want to put in so much effort and end up being stolen by someone else.

Now it's different, as soon as Rhys Knott dies, the contradictions between the two sides are almost irreconcilable, even if old Knott is willing to compromise, Ivan will always remember this incident in his heart.

This means that his biggest obstacle is no longer there, how can old Rozier not be happy?

"Lord Hals, Nott is actually very easy to deal with, we might as well ..."Old Rozier cleared his throat and was about to give Ivan some advice, but before he could finish his sentence, Althea walked in from outside the door with a large group of people.

Ivan gave old Rozier a look and told him to go back later.

Old Rozier thought that Ivan didn't want Althea to know too much, so he nodded and shut his mouth.

Hero... That's it, even relatives have to be on guard, he understands!

Ivan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he knew too little now, and he couldn't judge old Rozier's proposal at all, who knew if this old boy was hurting himself.

It's better to put it off for a while, and wait for him to learn more from Doggett or Althea, and then it's not too late to make a decision!

"Looks like we're late, it's already over here..."Althea said with a smile as she looked around at the conference room that had been restored after the fight.

"Well, it's a lot easier than I thought," Ivan spread his hands.

Before he came, he thought that this was some kind of Longtan Tiger's Den, and he had to go through some twists and turns to be able to win with difficulty, but he didn't expect to encounter almost no obstacles all the way in.

With that, Ivan turned his head to look at old Rozier again, and praised him in front of everyone. "Of course, it can go so smoothly thanks to Mr. Rozier's help!"

"Your Excellency Hals has won the prize, and I have only done some minor work according to your instructions." Old Rozier said very flatteringly.

Past experience made the elder Rozier understand that the fastest way to get promoted is often not to work hard, but to please!

He knows this truth very well, so he is determined to be a capable dogleg!

Ivan ignored him at all, looked at Althea strangely, and asked. "What about Doggett? He must have come in through the secret passage, there shouldn't be many guards there, and he hasn't done it yet? ”

"It's been dealt with a long time ago, and he's out there guarding those captives now!" Althea spoke.

Ivan nodded, then asked about casualties.

"A total of four people were slightly injured and two were seriously injured, and one of the werewolves almost died after falling into a trap, but fortunately Doggett arrived in time to give him some temporary treatment." Althea explained, and then said solemnly. "No one died!"

"That's good!" Ivan was much more relieved.

He said so much before going to war, and gave everyone a protective ring in order to reduce casualties as much as possible.

This is not only to save that little pension, but more importantly, he does not want to see his followers die again...

When Elver was given a funeral before, Mrs. Grint's gaze is still unforgettable.

As for whether the enemy is dead or alive, and whether there will be close relatives who are sad for him, Ivan can't care, after all, kindness to the enemy is often cruelty to himself.

Since you eat this bowl of rice and receive a relatively high salary, you must be prepared to die!

"Rozier, where is the vault of this underground chamber?" Ivan quickly collected his emotions and asked expectantly.

He felt that it was built like a small fortress, and it was located under the wizarding market, so there should be a small treasury, maybe something good.

"Please come with me, Lord Hals!" Old Rozier was not surprised by this, he stretched out his hand, bowed and said.

Ivan walked in the direction of old Rozier, and after a few twists and turns, he came to a small hidden room.

In the center of the room hung a large painting of a landscape, which seemed to have been firmly nailed to the wall, and old Rozier stepped forward quickly, tapped lightly on it with his wand, and recited a series of incantations.

The landscape painting opened with a "click", and behind it was a hollow secret room, which looked boxy, and there were a large number of gold gallons, silver and bronze nats, as well as some strange-looking magical items.

The werewolf wizards who had never seen much of the world were dazzled by the glittering golden light.

Ivan was very dissatisfied when he saw this small vault, which was too little!

He raised his wand and waved it in the air, and the gold gallons, silver sizzles, and copper nats in the vault all flew up, spinning in mid-air, and piled up in a fixed arrangement.

After a few moments, Ivan calculated the exact amount.

"Nineteen thousand six hundred and thirty-seven Galleons, eight thousand four hundred and thirteen silver sicos, thirty-two thousand and four bronze nats!"

All converted to gold galleons is only in the early 20,000s, which is not in line with his expectations, the wizard market has been running in Tumbledown Alley for hundreds of years, and it is impossible to have such a small amount of wealth.

Ivan looked at old Rozier in surprise, waiting for his answer.

"It's not safe here lately, and Nott has moved most of their wealth back for fear of being breached, and the rest is to ensure that the wizarding market can operate normally." Old Rozier answered Ivan's doubts for the first time.

Ivan realized that there was no wonder there was only so much left.

"How many gold gallons were there before that?" Ivan asked with a haunting chagrin.

"About fifty thousand Galleons!" Old Rozier hesitated for a moment, but finally said truthfully.

Usually at the end of each year, they get together to divide the benefits.

This year, they poured blood mold, and they were targeted for no reason, and their income plummeted, so they divided it in advance, and what was left behind was to hire a large number of wizard guards to ensure that the wizard market could operate normally.

Ivan felt his heart dripping blood, and all of a sudden there were 30,000 Galleons! A normal wizard can't make that much money in his lifetime!

After all, he didn't plan to kill those pure-blood wizards, and he wasn't too embarrassed to force them to come up with this money, otherwise these pure-blood wizards might be dissatisfied, and it seemed that the 30,000 Galleons would not come back...

On the side, old Rozier secretly watched Ivan's words and deeds, and faintly felt that the little wizard in front of him seemed to be a money fan.

No, no way!

Old Rozier shook his head and vetoed this, he used five hundred Galleons to let Ivan perform a spell was regarded as an insult by the other party, how could such a little wizard be a greedy person.

Now there is only one explanation, and that is that the other party is short of money!

And it's a hole that 20,000 gold gallons won't be enough to fill!

There aren't many places where you need so many gold gallons!

Are you preparing to expand your manpower to deal with the Ministry of Magic?

Old Rozier could only make such conjectures, but this did not prevent him from having some different thoughts.

These pure-blood families are not short of money and are very good at investing.

If it costs tens of thousands of Galleons to get Ivan's favor and favor, it is not a loss, as long as this little wizard can take charge of the magic world in the future, they can earn it back several times or even dozens of times!

When the Dark Lord first rose, many pure-blood wizards who supported him fought this idea, and even went bankrupt to make bets, and there were no longer a few who lost their family members....
