Harry Potter: Badger's Flathead

Gua Zai: A group of little party animals~(ΘへΘ)

……

There's not much to say about his Christmas present, it's still the same simple things, but this year there's a gift from Reese's.

A quill made from the feather of a divine horse!

After opening the gifts, Alvin discussed the Far East trade with his grandfather before dinner.

Now that the portal is available, he can increase his purchases over there, and he can also open a snack shop in the wizarding world!

Now there is a problem. The import duties from China to Russia are complete. If you use the portal from Russia to the UK, it will be considered smuggling! Although it is only smuggled snacks.

If this is the case, they can only be sold in the wizarding world, and can only earn Galleons instead of pounds. From this perspective, it seems unfair to the business in the Muggle world, as it would be sucking the blood of Muggles to support wizards.

So...it's time to start the wizard farming plan!

After spending three days of Christmas holiday with his family, Alvin set out for Diagon Alley in London. However, his destination was not Diagon Alley, but Knockturn Alley next door!

This place is different from the prosperous, harmonious and lively Diagon Alley across the street. The crowded street can only accommodate two people side by side, and every few steps on the street there is a sloppy or crazy wizard, staring at Ivan with lifeless eyes.

There's no way. Even if it's Diagon Alley, there will be people staring at Evan.

The magical cloak was changed into pure black and draped over his body. Alvin was still wearing Tara's mask on his face, and the whole person looked very weird.

Under the gaze of a group of dark wizards, Alvin walked to a relatively spacious place and posted a job advertisement with few words on it but a large blank space.

"Ahem! Let me introduce myself! My name is Tara. Don't mind my appearance or my name. You just need to know that I'm here to provide you with quality help in your impoverished lives!"

The scene was completely silent. A group of malnourished wizards and crazy black wizards did not react. They all stared at the red-faced weirdo with a ferocious look.

Uh~ Alvin is a little embarrassed.

"I say, have you all been stupid in Knockturn Alley? Don't you understand what I mean?"

After putting on the mask, Ivan's voice began to become rough and gloomy.

"Heh~ Do you think we would listen to a monster that doesn't even look like a human?"

"Come and help us! Can you give us money?"

"Put aside your tricks. You just want to trick us into working for you for free and then kick us out. Idiots have been fooled before."

"If you want me to work for you, you have to pay first. I promise to make you satisfied." A witch with smoky makeup, holding a jar of dead people's nails, showed her black teeth to Ivan.

After she opened her mouth, several dark wizards who looked a little crazy started to make a noise loudly.

"Be quiet! You rats in the dark, I don't have time to play with you insignificant guys. I'm doing serious business. This time, I just came to give you a chance! I advise you to behave yourself!"

With a contemptuous tone, Ivan pointed at the job advertisement behind him. As for this group of wizards that even the Ministry of Magic is unwilling to take care of, no one would care even if eight or ten of them died.

As expected, Ivan's words angered several dark wizards here.

"Asshole, are you here to laugh at us?"

"This is Knockturn Alley, not Diagon Alley across the street. I advise you to think carefully before you speak!"

Alvin didn't take their threats seriously at all. If he was afraid of them, he wouldn't have come alone.

"I have a piece of land in Siberia! Now I just need people to develop it, so I'm hiring you! After the deal is done, Garlon will need you, and you'll be provided with food and lodging, and you'll have free time!

I don't really need you, but someone up there can't bear to see you suffering, and seeing you struggling in a muddle, they gave you this opportunity! I advise you not to be ungrateful.

If you want to do it, put your handprints on the blank space on the advertisement behind me and receive the advance salary. I will give you some time to prepare. If you don’t want to do it, I won’t force you. But I warn you not to have any crooked ideas, otherwise~”

thump~

Ivan took out a large bag of gold galleons and threw it on the ground.

Looking at the golden galleons in the bag, all the wizards' eyes were wide open! When had they ever seen so much money?

Knockturn Alley is not full of dark wizards, there are also ordinary wizards who are impoverished. However, they are also struggling on the edge of dark wizards. Once they are overwhelmed by life and embark on the path of committing crimes with magic and making a living by studying dark magic, they will become dark wizards.

Just like now, except for those dark wizards who have taken out their wands and are ready to make a move, they are also tempted!

This is Knockturn Alley, one of the most chaotic places. Accidents are common, so...

Looking at the greedy eyes of this group of people, Alvin was very satisfied!

Greed is good. If people are greedy, they will do things without considering the consequences...

Chapter 226 Liangshan

"Hey~Little red face with white beard, didn't anyone tell you not to show how rich you are in Knockturn Alley!"

"Especially in front of a group of dark wizards!"

"What are you talking about! Come on, everyone who sees it will get a share!"

Several dark wizards who could no longer hold back waved their wands and shot white light at Alvin.

Alvin didn't dodge, but stood still and endured the several stunning spells.

A stun spell of this level couldn't even penetrate the protective spell on his cloak, let alone those precious materials with amazing magic resistance.

"If you use the Killing Curse on me right from the start, I might move." Tara's face did not show any expression.

Just when the dark wizards were really about to use the Killing Curse, Ivan's eyes, wearing the Tara mask, burned with golden flames and glared at the dark wizards.

Golden flames ignited on the bodies of the dark wizards who wanted to take action. The scorching heat made people around them quickly move away from them, and a small stampede instantly occurred in this narrow street.

"Ugh!!!"

After a few screams, only a handful of ashes were left on the ground, drifting away with the wind.

Not a single hair of those dark wizards was left.

Haha~ You really used it when I told you to. Did you really think I would just stand there and take your killing curse? You bunch of idiots.

"Is there anyone else who wants to give it a try? I think if I kill a few restless dark wizards, the Ministry of Magic won't cause me any trouble, don't you think?

Of course you can also try it, do it together, and bet whether I can burn all of you to death at once!"

The golden flames in Ivan's eyes had not yet dissipated, and every time he glanced at a wizard, he would scare people so much that cold sweats broke out on their backs.

They clearly didn't feel any magic power, but those people suddenly caught fire and were burned to ashes in an instant!

Was it Fiendfyre? But they didn't feel any spell being cast?

They could have run away, but the big bag of golden Galleons on the ground was so attractive that they stayed where they were and continued to struggle regardless of their lives.

"Very good, it seems that you value your lives very much. That's right, this is the choice that a smart person should make! I said, I am a serious businessman, I only asked you to farm, I have no other intentions.

When the time comes, the fruits of your hard work will grow from the land, and this fruit will bring you an environment with adequate food and clothing. You will all be proud of this, because that is the result of your hard work, instead of living in this narrow alley, relying on wandering and crime to make a living!

How about it, is there anyone willing to come and work for me? I have already made it clear what the salary is, and the most important thing is that you will get a salary of 30 Galleons every month, which is already a very high salary for people like you. "

After Alvin finished speaking, he waited for the responses from these guys who were all unhappy.

“When do we start?”

Someone in the crowd responded. He thought very clearly that his situation couldn't get any worse now, so since there was a chance, why not give it a try?

Ivan: "Two months later, it will be spring, the season for sowing."

"What do we all need to do? Is it really just farming?"

“Not only that, in addition to farming, weeding, pest control, and harvesting, there are also transportation, construction, and livestock farming, etc. When the time comes, I will settle the bills for you according to the corresponding positions.

What do you think? There aren't many good bosses like me. If you've thought it through, come here and sign your name!"

Alvin pointed to the blank space on the recruitment paper behind him again. There was a contract magic on it. Anyone who signed the contract would be recorded. No matter where they went, as long as they dared to breach the contract, the ghost would take good care of them.

He was not stupid and would not believe that these people would come to work for him honestly after taking the advance payment from him.

Maybe some people do, but if everyone does that, that would be a joke.

A man with greasy long hair squeezed out of the crowd, dipped his hand in the special ink in Ivan's hand, printed his handprint on the blank space on the recruitment paper, and took thirty gold galleons from Ivan.

The man stood behind Ivan excitedly, counting the Galleons in his hand over and over again, and he couldn't hide the excitement on his face!

This time, he can have a full meal, find a comfortable hotel, take a good shower, and have a good sleep!

For a guy like him who couldn't even get a single centimeter on his body, this was truly an incredible fortune! And this red-faced weirdo even said that his place would provide food and lodging!

Great! Now I can save a small fortune. This is not just a red-faced weirdo, this is simply his red-faced nobleman!

What? Will I be fooled?

He was almost dying of poverty. Even if he was cheated, it was only a matter of dying sooner or later. It was worth it to enjoy himself once before he died!

With the first person taking the lead, more and more people began to sign to receive the money. In the end, 80% of the people squatted behind Ivan and counted the money, leaving only the last 20% to wait and see.

They are all dark wizards who make a living illegally, but have not been caught. There are also people who have their own businesses in Knockturn Alley and come here just to watch the fun.

"Haha~ Interesting guy. I'm really curious about how long he can control these trash. I bet one Galleon, three months at most." Borgin made a bet with an acquaintance around him with some mockery.

As someone who has lived in Knockturn Alley for many years, he is very familiar with this group of people!

"You've said too much. Didn't you see that Yujies and his guys also went there? It will only take a month at most. I bet you one Galleon on this one!"

"You're right buddy, there are still those scums! Hahaha~"

The two men's mocking voices were not concealed at all, causing the person who had placed the bet to glare at them angrily.

brush--

Four figures in armor suddenly appeared, holding swords at the necks of Bogin and the other man.

"Gentlemen, no matter who they are, they are now my employees. If you want to humiliate them, please do it behind their backs. Otherwise, I will not let go of those who humiliate my employees."

Ivan's principle is that no matter how bad the employees are, as long as they don't break my rules, they are my people! I will teach my people, and it is not the turn of outsiders to point fingers!

Blood flowed down the necks of Borgin and the other wizard onto the blade. The legs of these two wizards, who had been so arrogant just now, began to tremble.

"Sorry sir! It's our fault~"

"Please forgive us, we will never dare to do it again..."

Both of them are old foxes. At this critical moment, who cares about dignity? Just admit your mistakes and that's it!

"Hmph, this won't happen again!" Alvin waved his hand, and the ghost retreated.

"Listen, as long as you sign the contract, the magic contract will be established. If anyone breaks the contract, the soldiers just now will come to your hiding place to greet you! If any of you think you can get away with it, you can give it a try.
