I'm the king of scrolls at Hogwarts

Chapter 102 Knight Grand Cross

Louis knew that there was a high probability that Lucius was talking about Ron's father, Arthur Weasley.

In the original book, the two even had a fight at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, which can be said to be a clean slate.

But in fact, some people speculated that Lucius just took advantage of the chaos to stuff something to frame the Weasley family, so he did this.

"This is a deformed world, and honest people will be bullied." Louis took a sip of moonberry juice, "It is really unfair that an honest person like Uncle Lucius should be treated like this."

He has always been able to confuse right and wrong, and he has already practiced this skill to the extreme. His face does not turn red when he lies with his eyes open, and his heart does not beat.

Moral Vacuum Lewis, redefining the honest man.

Lucius instantly felt like he had found a close friend, and he sighed repeatedly: "Alas, the world is deteriorating, people's hearts are not the same as before, and there are really fewer and fewer kind people like His Highness."

Honest Lucius redefines the kind person.

"It's a pity that I'm not strong enough now to speak for you, Uncle Lucius." Louis sighed, and it seemed that he really had some sincerity in it.

Only he himself knows how many.

"I wonder what His Highness thinks of...well, the mysterious man?" Lucius wandered around for a long time and finally revealed the question he wanted to ask the most.

He wanted to make a basic judgment based on Louis's views on Voldemort.

"To be honest, I don't know the real demands of the Dark Lord." Louis crossed his hands and smiled meaningfully: "I have heard of his high-pressure methods. In fact, I have always believed that instead of using violence to force others to obey, it is better to Seek a common interest for everyone, let others unite around this interest, and work hard together sincerely.”

"What about you, Uncle Lucius, do you understand his true intentions? And why did those pure-blood families gather around him in the first place?" Louis asked.

"He -" Lucius finally did not dare to say Voldemort's code name, not even the mysterious man, so he could only use "he" instead: "He deceived those pure-blood families, and he gave pure-blood families The families made empty promises but failed to fulfill them..."

At this point, Lucius obviously paused. Looking at his uncertain expression, Louis must have thought of some unpleasant memories.

"The pure-blood family is just a tool for him to gain power. After he truly rises, he will abandon the pure-blood family as if it were old shoes. In contrast, he is more willing to believe in mixed-blood wizards and existences on the fringes of the magic world. Such as werewolves, giants..."

Lewis chuckled and added: "Dumbledore once said to me, in fact,..." He saw Lucius's shrunken pupils, and thoughtfully changed his words: "In the mysterious man's heart, only he has Qualifications above all others.”

"He is good at and willing to distort all relationships. He is very aware of the fear and awe of Death Eaters towards him, but describes this relationship as friends and family, describes the fear of the wizarding world as respect for authority, and describes the negligence of his subordinates. He likes to ridicule everyone's different weaknesses, and sometimes even engages in self-deprecating yin and yang."

"However, he never learned any lessons from his mistakes. Perhaps the only lesson that humans learn from their mistakes is that humans never learn from their mistakes. This point... the mysterious man is not immune to this," Lewis said Here shrugged and said in a joking tone.

Lucius was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed: "Dumbledore knows him, but it's a pity."

He only said half of his words and did not continue.

Maybe he regretted that Dumbledore failed to stop his madness, or maybe he regretted why he blindly followed him.

"He is just a lunatic. His pursuit of immortality has distorted his mind." Louis knocked on the cup and continued: "Pure-blood wizards are naturally noble, but this noble dignity is not easy to maintain. This sentence has always been important to us. For you who have tried your best to maintain the Malfoy family, you should understand this deeply."

"For us, there is no reason to push Muggles and Muggle-born wizards against us. As I said to Draco, instead of isolating Muggles and Muggle-born wizards, we should Let them create value for people like us.”

"If the Wizarding Secrecy Law can be broken, think about it - the magic world in our country only has tens of thousands of wizards at best, but there are tens of millions of Muggles... Think about it, how much wealth can we get from these Muggles? Although pounds cannot be circulated in the wizarding world, we can buy goods from Muggles."

Lucius's eyes suddenly lit up, and he firmly grasped the word wealth.

No one thinks money is too little, really. You are bragging like a certain person that B is not interested in money. That is nonsense. If he were really not interested in money, he would have retired to the mountains and forests.

Lewis saw the glint in Lucius's eyes. He sighed deliberately and said, "However, this plan is too far-fetched and is not something I can consider as I currently have no foundation in the magic world."

He deliberately sneaked a little emphasis on "without foundation."

"Your Highness, what do you need me to do, you..." Lucius gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind: "Just say it."

Seeing that Lucius finally took the bait, Louis said with a smile: "I happen to have some small business that I want to do with you, but... I just don't know if you can let go of your prejudice against Squibs."

"Despite His Majesty's orders, for His Majesty's great cause, even if you let me keep these squibs... it's no problem!" Lucius said through gritted teeth, his sincerity not lacking.

In fact, he also knew that it was impossible for Louis to let him keep a squib, so saying this was just to express an attitude.

"Hey...how could it be possible, Uncle Lucius." Louis said with satisfaction: "You don't need to do this, I just need you to come forward."

"Your Highness, please speak." Lucius also showed interest at the right time.

"Take this moonberry juice as an example. I plan to promote it throughout the magical world." Lewis paused and continued: "From container production to filling, we need manpower... We might as well start with squibs and provide them with work. post."

"Louis, why is this happening? Wouldn't it be more efficient if we let the house elves do it?" Draco asked in confusion.

Louis stopped Lucius's movement to reprimand, looked at Draco, and said in a slow voice: "Let me tell you a story, something that happened in the history of my mother's hometown. "

So, Louis told him the story of Feng Nuanke and Meng Changjun in an easy-to-understand way.

After hearing the story, Draco was obviously very excited, but Lucius and Narcissa both looked thoughtful.

"Draco, what do you think your family needs most? Is it money? Or status?" Louis began to ask.

"Uh, well... there should be no shortage." Draco said proudly after thinking for a while. His family background has always been something he relied on.

"With all due respect, because Uncle Lucius was once ambushed...I mean the mysterious man was controlled by the Imperius Curse and was forced to join the Death Eaters." Louis patted Draco's hand: "Don't care whether it was voluntary or not. Forced, this is a stain that cannot be erased.”

"And now, you are also facing the same problem that Lord Mengchang encountered in the story. In the story, the 'little thing the king has' is the human heart. What is given is kindness, and what is bought back is the human heart and reputation."

"This is the problem that the Malfoy family is facing now. Now there is a good opportunity in front of them. It provides jobs for squibs and desperate wizards, but in fact, it gives them a way to survive."

Louis chuckled softly: "Uncle Lucius is recognized as a platinum noble. Such a noble person would actually help a desperate Squib. Don't you think they would be grateful and moved?"

"It is true that the power of Squibs is very small, but there is such a question before us: Which Squib is not the son or daughter of a wizard? Which wizard can guarantee that his child will not be a Squib? People who have experienced magic are not willing to live in the Muggle world. , why don’t we give them a chance to live uprightly in the magical world?”

Draco said with enlightenment: "Louis, you mean... to gain prestige in this way? But... well, I mean, as you know, many people are prejudiced against our family. They don't Will you use this to attack the Malfoy family?"

"No." Louis said firmly: "If anyone dares to object, the saliva of wizards in the entire magical world will drown them... This is what is different from a conspiracy, Draco, this is a conspiracy."

"Everyone knows that you are trying to win people's hearts, but no one has any way to deal with it. Maybe... we can call it political correctness."

"The Malfoy family is willing to contribute a small amount of strength to you." Lucius came out at the right time to set the tone.

"This is the first time we have cooperated, Uncle Lucius." Louis looked at him and said in a very soft voice: "Since it is entirely up to you, the profit will be divided into 50 and 50... In this way, I will not take any of the share that belongs to me. Uncle Lucius can use this money to improve the lives of his employees."

Louis looked at the puzzled looks of the Malfoy family and said with a smile: "I'm not short of money. Like you, what I'm short of is status and prestige in the wizarding world."

"Since His Highness is so generous, I can't be stingy." Lucius gritted his teeth and said with a heart: "I won't take any of my share, and I will use it to increase benefits for the employees!"

For Lucius, who has always been naughty, this is a very rare statement.

"Lucius!" Narcissa was a little anxious. How could her husband be so arrogant and work for others for free?

"Okay! Uncle Lucius is indeed the person I like." Louis was determined. It seemed that half of the first stage goal had been completed.

Next, get ready to start finishing the other half.

He picked up the goblet and clashed it with Lucius. After taking a sip of moonberry juice and carefully feeling the fruity fragrance, he looked at Lucius and said slowly: "When the factory is built and everything is on track, from that day on, people will not I’ll call you Mr. Malfoy again.”

Lucius didn't understand what Louis meant for a moment, and he looked at Louis with questioning eyes.

"Actually, Sir Lucius is more in line with your identity, isn't it?" Louis imitated Lao Deng and winked mischievously while speaking.

Lucius was stunned for a while, and then he asked solemnly: "Your Highness, you mean..."

"G.B.E. (the highest level of the British Empire's most outstanding medals, the Grand Cross of Knighthood, established in 1917.)" Louis said in a leisurely tone, one word at a time.

For the political resources possessed by the Louis family, conferring a GBE on someone is as easy as drinking water.

Don't underestimate him just because old Louis plays cards and fishes at home every day. In fact, the previous cabinet secretary who took office had worked under him for several years.

After all, he was once an imperial marshal.

The reason for giving Lucius this benefit is that he can't let people work for him in vain without seeing the benefits. Adults are different from students. They are worldly and smooth. For such people, it is useless for you to rely only on your ideals. You must also provide benefits to others.

Louis really couldn't do the things of letting the horse run and not eating grass.

Lucius, who had not had any major mood swings since the dinner, stood up suddenly. He stared at Louis, his voice almost coming out from between his teeth.

"Your Highness! The Malfoy family will always be loyal to you!"

Lucius had longed for this day for too long. Ever since his great-great-grandfather was deprived of his title, not a day went by that his family didn't think about restoring the glory of the Malfoy family.

Now even an honorary knight is enough to drive Lucius crazy.

This is the glory that generations of people have been dreaming of!

It's ironic to say that Louis can easily solve other people's dreams for generations with just one sentence.

It really fits that sentence, some people are born as mules and horses, and some people are born in Rome.

And some people were born to rule Rome.

Even Narcissa was shocked by Lewis' words.

How could she not understand her husband's desire after all these years of getting along with him.

She still remembered what her father-in-law said to Lucius before he died of dragon pox.

After Louis finished promising the benefits, he started to draw pictures for Lucius again: "Perhaps one day, Uncle Lucius and Aunt Narcissa may be... a baron and a baroness? A viscount and a viscountess? Or... an earl and a countess?" "

He said and paused, and every word he said was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of Lucius and Narcissa.

Some people may say that people in the wizarding world don't care about Muggle titles.

Just listen to this and have fun.

Don’t forget, before the seventeenth century, the British Ministry of Magic took orders from the royal family!

The wizard is a bit like the literati in ancient Seris. You see, he is letting his fame go to him like a cloud every day. If you really give him fame, he will fall to his knees faster than anyone else...

A title is not a big deal, but it is something that many people in Daiying covet.

Especially in this era when the wizarding world generally abides by the Wizarding Secrecy Act and has little contact with Muggles, wizards with noble titles are even rarer.

In fact, almost none.
