Chapter 355: Ivan: What? My Ambitions Have Grown Again?
Chapter 355: Ivan: What? My Ambitions Have Grown Again?
After obtaining the alchemy notebook, Ivan couldn't wait to return and start studying it.
Aisha waved her Wand, releasing several tendrils of fierce fire that slowly fell onto Brock's chest. The flames gradually grew stronger, licking the entire body.
After a moment, under Aisha's control, the fierce fire gradually extinguished, and Brock's body turned to ashes, dispersing in the air.
After disposing of the body, Aisha turned and left. She had experienced too many shocks today and needed time to digest them. She also needed to think about how to help Ivan complete such a massive plan.
On the other side, Ivan was back in his room, flipping through the alchemy notebook when a system notification sounded in his mind.
[Ding, Task: Become the King of Knockturn Alley (First Tier) Completed]
Ivan paused his flipping of the pages, staring blankly for a while before he remembered that this task was one he had received during his first-year summer.
Thinking of this, Ivan opened his task list to check.
[ Become the King of Knockturn Alley (First Tier)
Task Objective: Subdue the Werewolf Wizards of Knockturn Alley
Task Deadline: Two years
Task Status: Completed
Task Reward: Formula for Strong Wolfsbane Potion (Not Claimed) ]
"Is it because I formally hired those Werewolf Wizards?" Ivan murmured, stroking his chin as he looked at the task panel.
He had been on good terms with Fleur and others last summer and could even get them to help him with some tasks.
But the task had been stuck for a long time, which puzzled Ivan, so he had temporarily put it out of his mind. He didn't expect it to suddenly complete today.
It seems that it was because of his conversation with Walker, where he expressed his willingness to hire them.
"Claim Reward!" Ivan thought to himself.
In the next moment, the formula for the Strong Wolfsbane Potion appeared in the system panel.
[Strong Wolfsbane Potion (Potion Formula)
Required Materials: Werewolf Blood, Calming Flowers, Sage Root, Wolf's Bane, Angelica Root, Moonstone Powder
Description: This is a specially modified potion. A Werewolf Wizard who drinks it will have the ability to control their transformation freely for fifty days and remain fully conscious while transformed.
Note: In this state, the werewolf no longer has the ability to infect others. ]
After reviewing the effects of the Strong Wolfsbane Potion, Ivan was quite surprised.
While it wasn't what he had initially expected, as it didn't completely cure the Werewolf Wizards, in a way, it was even more powerful!
This would greatly enhance the combat capabilities of Fleur and others!
After all, in their werewolf form, the Wizards' physical abilities are significantly enhanced, and they possess a certain degree of magical resistance and extraordinary recovery abilities.
If they could maintain their sanity, they would be a nightmare for most Wizards!
This was evident from the raid on Borgin and Burkes Magic Shop, where Walker had charged into the fray, withstanding several Spells and causing panic and chaos, making it easier for Dugdale and others to defeat the Death Eaters.
A Werewolf Wizard who can control their transformation at will is already terrifying, let alone a group of them!
Ivan could even imagine how devastated Fleur's opponents would be when they saw a pack of werewolves, using various tactics, charging towards them!
"It looks like I have something to show them, as promised!" Ivan couldn't help but sigh in relief.
He knew that one of the reasons Fleur and others were so supportive of him was their hope that he could develop a potion to cure werewolves.
The current highly effective Wolfsbane Potion may not be able to achieve this yet, but it has certainly taken a step closer to the goal.
【A new task has been activated!】
While Ivan was thinking, the system's notification sound rang in his mind again.
Ivan wasn't too surprised. Since the previous task was the first stage, there would definitely be a second and third stage. He began to browse through the new task.
【Become the King of Knockturn Alley
Task Objective: Unify Knockturn Alley (Stage 2)
Task Progress: 9%
Task Reward: Fidelius Charm
Task Description: With your first group of Werewolf Wizard minions, your ambition is gradually growing! However, before achieving greater goals, you decide to first establish your own power base.
Note: Cunning hunters typically hide their bodies in the shadows before launching an attack. The chaotic and overlooked Knockturn Alley is your best target.】
System, you're at it again!
Ivan looked at the task description and note displayed in the task bar, feeling utterly speechless.
He just wanted to be a laid-back Wizard, studying magic every day, earning a few Galleons, and living a carefree life, rather than constantly thinking about how to stir up trouble!
Just look at the two Dark Lords who caused chaos; one was worse off than the other. Ivan felt that his life was going well, and he had no grand ambitions, so it was better not to court death!
Most importantly, the reward for this task was rather mediocre—a powerful but utterly useless Spell for him—the Fidelius Charm!
The effect of this Spell is very simple: it hides a secret within the soul of a living person.
For example, in the original timeline, Dumbledore cast the Fidelius Charm on the Potters' house to protect James and Lily, hiding the existence of the house in the soul of the Secret-Keeper, Peter Pettigrew.
Once the Spell took effect, the house was protected by powerful magic, and no one who knew about it could reveal its location.
As long as the Secret-Keeper didn't betray them, even if Voldemort pressed his nose against the living room window of the Potter house, he wouldn't be able to find them!
The only known way to break the Fidelius Charm is for the Secret-Keeper to voluntarily reveal the information to someone else. Peter Pettigrew did just that, telling Voldemort where James and Lily were, causing the powerful Spell to fail.
If the Secret-Keeper dies, all remaining informed individuals become new Secret-Keepers. The more people who know the secret, the greater the risk that one of them might betray it.
Such magic is typically used to avoid being hunted or to establish a secret base for a hidden army.
The system's intention is clearly the latter.
However, Ivan had no intention of doing such a thing!
These days, living a stable and peaceful life in the Wizarding World, earning some Galleons, and finding a place to do things he was interested in, wasn't that better?
Why bother going through the trouble of risking being hunted by the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix, constantly stirring up trouble?
