Rectifying Knockturn Alley

Was it because he had done something wrong?

Yvonne is lost in thought…

It was a grueling time for Rosier Senior and the others.

Ever since they stepped into this small room, their emotions had been going up and down like they were on a roller coaster. Every moment, they were under immense pressure. Every day felt like a year. No one wanted to stay here for even a second longer!

However, it was this pressure that prevented Foley, Abbott, and the others from interrupting Ivan's thoughts.

After several minutes, the old Rozier finally found the courage to break the silence and said quietly, "Sir Harls, if there is nothing else, please allow us to prepare the tribute now!"

"Eh? Ah… go!" Ivan snapped out of his daze and nodded, gesturing for them to leave…

The pure-bloods retreated from the room in fear upon receiving their orders.

Crack …

When the door closed, Foley, Abbott, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. Cold sweat beaded their foreheads as if they had just been through a life-and-death battle.

"Rozier, why didn't you tell us before that Sir Harls was so… eccentric?" Foley looked at old Rozier with some resentment.

From their previous encounter, Foley could only describe the young wizard as moody and tyrannical.

During their brief meeting, Foley had a vague sense of the Dark Lord.

"Well, I told you to be careful where you go when you meet His Excellency!" Rosier warned them in a low voice, then turned to look at Foley.

"And… Forlì! Next time, watch yourself. Don't let me know that you're talking nonsense about Sir Harls!"

…

Ivan, who was watching old Rosier and the others leave, also breathed a sigh of relief. His tense mind immediately relaxed, and his body fell heavily onto the sofa in the back, rubbing against it comfortably.

After relaxing for a while, Ivan straightened up. The conversation with old Rosier and the others had left him emotionally drained.

However, they had no choice but to do so. These pure-blood wizards were extremely cunning, and if they were not subdued, they might do something behind the scenes.

As for the nail Douggart mentioned, he had some ideas, such as that Foley would be a good choice, as he and old Rosier did not seem to get along well, and could easily have caused trouble between them.

As Ivan considered this, a system prompt sounded.

[Mission: Become the King of Knockturn Alley (Second Ring) has been completed…]

Objective: Unify Knockturn Alley (Second Ring Road)

Task Progress: 100% (Completed)

Task Reward: Fidelius Charm (collect or deny)

Task description: …]

"Is it finally done?" Ivan muttered to himself, stunned.

Three days ago, when he took down the Wizarding Market, the progress of this task had increased to ninety-five percent, and for some unknown reason, it had increased a little every once in a while, until it was finally maxed out.

Ivan was deeply moved by this thought.

When he received this mission last year, he did not have any intention of completing it. However, he did not expect to accidentally complete it this time!

"Receive my reward!" Ivan chanted to himself.

The next moment, a large amount of knowledge flooded into Ivan's mind. His body swayed as he leaned back on the sofa with his eyes closed, sorting through the information. About half a minute later, Ivan opened his eyes again.

As he had predicted, the Fidelius Charm was an extremely special spell that was both powerful and useless!

The strength of this charm lies in the fact that it creates a safe haven, a place that even wizards like Lord Voldemort and Dumbledore cannot find unless the Secret-Keeper dies or betrays them.

However, the Fidelius Charm was of little value to Ivan now that he had unified Knockturn Alley.

If he had gotten it two years earlier, he might have been happier. After all, they were not in a good place in Knockturn Alley at that time…

Ivan shook his head to himself, then suddenly remembered that the wizarding world would be fraught with danger from now on, as it was foretold that the Dark Lord would soon emerge to stir up trouble…

When the time came, there might be a need for this spell.

Even if the prophecy was incorrect and Voldemort did not return for a while, the Ministry would be a second threat!

Ivan knew full well that the mess he had made in Knockturn Alley would not be concealed for long.

There was no official interference, as the Ministry of Magic was too overwhelmed by the Dementors riot and Peter Pettigrew's escape to care about what was happening in Knockturn Alley.

However, once the Ministry of Magic took the time to investigate, they would definitely notice the commotion.

Ivan didn't think he had any particular ideas, and was content to keep his little patch of land, but he was afraid the Ministry would get ideas!

Fudge might have backed away from a powerful and unbeatable Lord Voldemort, but against a mere Knockturn Alley, he was likely to land a heavy punch!

With this thought in mind, Ivan grew wary.

Although it was only a possibility, Ivan had no choice but to guard against it. He immediately decided to install a secret door on all of the rings he had retrieved this year so that he could protect himself when the situation worsened in the future!

The Fidelius Charm could be used as a last resort. With such a powerful protective charm, one would not have to worry too much about safety!

At most, he would hide in the library and read until he was stronger than Voldemort!

Ivan made his decision as another system prompt sounded in his head.

[Ding! New mission generated!]

"Huh, there's a mission? The third round?" Ivan opened the system mission in confusion and found that it was exactly as he had expected.
