Chapter 261 It’s Time for Change in the Magical World! ——Ivan Hals.

"You will regret it!"

Lucius Malfoy knew very well that he was no match for Ivan and Dobby, not to mention that this was still in front of the principal's office, so he gritted his teeth, shook his robes vigorously, and turned around to leave.

Hearing Lucius's words, Ivan frowned and said meaningfully to his back.

"Mr. Malfoy, I hope you'd better think twice before doing anything, for example, think more about your son Draco at Hogwarts."

Lucius Malfoy's back trembled suddenly, hearing what Ivan said, turned his head and glared at him, then quickened his pace and disappeared from Ivan's sight.

After threatening Lucius with Draco Malfoy, Ivan shook his head.

One thing that he had always found difficult to understand was why Lucius in the original time and space put the Horcrux into Ginny out of anger and asked her to take her to Hogwarts.

Although this can use the Horcrux to suppress the Weasley family, which is the sworn enemy, his son Draco is also in school!

Isn't Lucius worried about implicating Draco? The eyes of the basilisk don't tell you whether you are a pure-blood wizard or not. If you see it, you will die.

Even if Lucius didn't know that Tom would release the basilisk, the Horcrux was after all a gift from the Dark Lord, and it was very dangerous. As long as Draco was still in Hogwarts, there was a possibility of being affected.

Obviously Lucius still cares a lot about Draco, his son.

Unable to figure it out for a moment, Ivan ignored it for the time being and focused his attention on Dobby.

"Thank you, sir! You freed Dobby!" Dobby's eyes sparkled with tears of excitement.

Dobby thought that he was finished and would be taken back to Malfoy's manor by his master to receive cruel punishment, or that his head would be chopped off for disobeying orders and acting privately, but he did not expect that Ivan would suddenly step forward to rescue him.

"You are as great as Harry Potter in Dobby's mind!" Dobby screamed.

Ivan rolled his eyes, but he also understood Harry's supreme status in Dobby's mind.

Otherwise, Dobby would not have resolutely come to Hogwarts to "help" Harry, knowing that he would be severely punished afterwards.

"Dobby, what are your plans after you are free?" Ivan squatted down, looked at the house elf in front of him, and asked.

"Mr. Hals, do you want to become Dobby's new master?" Dobby flicked his long ears and stared at Ivan.

"We can put it another way, for example, I can hire you, how about you working for me?" Ivan understood very well that Dobby was a house elf who yearned for freedom.

Although he could repay the favor and become Dobby's new master, this would have some bad effects. Ivan didn't want to become the second Lucius.

"Ivan Hals is willing to provide Dobby with a job? Oh my God, sir, are you really willing to do this?" Dobby said in surprise with his eyes widened.

"Of course! As for the wages," Ivan thought for a moment. In the original time and space, Dobby seemed unwilling to accept normal wages, so he suggested.

"How about one galleons a week?"

"That's too much! Dobby only needs one Silver Knut, but one Copper Nut will be fine."

Dobby was very panicked. He was very satisfied that Ivan was willing to pay him wages, and he was unwilling to accept the salary of one galleons.

After trying to comfort him for a while, Ivan had no choice but to give up.

However, Dobby's salary was still adjusted to one silver siko per week as Dobby had initially said.

After all, house elves also need to eat, and they can't just eat in the Hogwarts kitchen every day.

Just after Ivan and Dobby confirmed the employment relationship, the system beep sounded again.

[Task: A new task has been activated! 】

Ivan was stunned and opened the system's taskbar to take a look. Sure enough, there was another message on it.

[Mission goal: Establish an army of house elves

Current mission progress: 1/50

Mission reward: three legendary points

Mission Description: After successfully liberating the first house elf, you have deeply realized the potential of this magical creature!

Do you think it is necessary to form a loyal army of house elves, which will help realize your ambitions?

Note: A new era is coming, and it’s time for change in the magical world! ——Ivan Hals. 】

No, don’t talk nonsense, I don’t want change!

Ivan was quite speechless.

He thought this system might as well be called the Dark Lord Development System. Several large-scale missions either asked him to conquer werewolves or form an army of house elves. What was he, a second-year wizard, doing with these things?

Fortunately, system tasks are never mandatory, so Ivan immediately put this nonsensical task behind him along with the original task of unifying Knockturn Alley.

Even though the mission reward has three legendary points, it is extremely difficult to complete!

House elves in the magical world usually work as slaves in ancient and wealthy wizarding families. It is almost impossible to get them to betray their masters and follow them!

After all, house elves have been enslaved by wizards for thousands of years. All wizards have basically acquiesced to this principle. Even the house elves themselves have subconsciously accepted the status of slaves.

Obedience to their masters has almost become something engraved in their genes. Some radical house elves will even commit suicide in shame after being kicked out of their homes by their masters!

There are very few outliers like Dobby who are willing to join others!

Apart from this, only Hogwarts can see a large number of house elves.

But this is Dumbledore's territory!

Ivan didn't dare to fool the house elves here to join him. Otherwise, if any house elf secretly complained about him to Dumbledore, wouldn't he be dead?

Besides, Ivan doesn’t intend to bring about changes in the magic world. That would be too suicidal!

The last person who did this is still locked up in the tower of Nurmengard and thinking about it.

Ivan still feels that it is more suitable for him to study and learn magic as he does now.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Dobby asked strangely when he saw Ivan's expression changing as he stood there.

"Nothing, just thinking about something." Ivan shook his head, and then continued. "By the way, I just have something I need you to do!"

Ivan thought of the Acromantula venom and other magical materials he had stored in the Room of Requirement.

He has never been able to find time to sell and dispose of these things. Now that he has Dobby, he naturally does not need to do these chores himself.

"Dobby can serve you now, sir!" Dobby bowed deeply and said respectfully.

Thanks to book friends Meng Li for the 500 starting coins, and Captain Tonkatsu and Zhi Qianyuan for the 100 starting coins.
