Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

"Hero or..." Ollivander did not finish, but said: "The quality of power depends on the wizard who uses it, Mr. Murphy. Challenging authority is a very brave thing, but the destruction of order often brings about Suffering, I hope you can use your power carefully."

"Thank you for your advice, Mr. Ollivander." Murphy said, pulling out another shorter wand from his sleeve.

Ollivander's eyes widened, "This, this... you really..."

Murphy pointed his wand at the old man, "Sorry, Mr. Ollivander, I'm afraid you have to re-remember some things... Legilimency!"

Then, "Forget everything!"

"Legilimency!"

"Everything is forgotten!"

Legilimency can force Ollivander to recall the situation when Murphy's predecessor bought the wand seven years ago, position this memory so that Forgettable can blur it out, add false memories, and repeat it several times. This false memory is then reinforced through false recall, making it indistinguishable from the real memory.

Memory is such an ambiguous thing. People have never truly read memories. Every recall is actually a revision and strengthening of past memories.

Murphy is using this mechanism at this moment to confuse part of Ollivander's memory of buying a wand today with the situation when Murphy's predecessor bought a wand seven years ago, and the material of the wand he bought at that time. Replaced with what it looks like today.

After repeating it three times, Ollivander would only remember that Murphy bought an aspen wand, but had no memory of the original cypress wand in Murphy's hands at the moment.

Ollivander passes out and Murphy lets him sleep.

After the violent tampering just now, the brain needs a rest to adjust itself to the conflicting memories.

After waking up, he would only feel that he had had a strange dream.

While Ollivander was sleeping, Murphy summoned his account book, which recorded the information of every wand sold from here. Murphy found the record from seven years ago, and the wand gently touched it. With one stroke, the original "twelve and four inches, cypress, unicorn hair" became "fourteen inches, aspen, phoenix feathers."

At this point, Murphy has a wand that has no registration information and cannot be traced.

He can use it to do whatever he wants in the future without having to worry about investigations like flashback spells.

More importantly, the wand's history was buried and never existed.

After a trip to Knockturn Alley, Murphy gained a lot, and happily Apparated back to Darkholm's old house.

After chatting with Alex Wood for a while and learning that all the potions used to refine the beautiful potion were used up and the work of mixing the materials had been completed, Murphy thought about it and arranged another job for Alex.

"Do you know any spells that can keep secrets?" Murphy asked.

He is planning to build a Potions Research Institute, and may also build a Charms Research Institute in the future, both of which will require a large number of Muggle scientists and researchers to participate in research.

Therefore, letting them keep secrets has become a problem that must be solved.

"An unbreakable oath?" Alex asked.

"I naturally thought of this, but the effect of the Unbreakable Vow can make people die after telling the secret, and what I want to achieve is to make the subject unable to tell a certain secret at all."

The Unbreakable Vow can act as a deterrent, but only if the person taking it is sincere and knows that breaking it will result in death.

This makes its scope of application very narrow.

When Muggle researchers know that they will die if they accidentally reveal some secrets, it is unlikely that they will accept this oath from the bottom of their hearts.

"The Loyalty Spell?" Alex thought of another spell.

The Red Loyalty Spell is very powerful. It is almost one of the most powerful spells known to Murphy. It can treat an entity and a location as a secret.

While the secret is being kept by the Keeper, the entity cannot be found, seen, or touched by anyone other than the Keeper.

It is said to be powerful because the scope of this spell is conceptual. Through a reverse logic, it reverses the scope that originally only affects the keeper of the secrecy and the object being kept secret to affect everyone outside it. .

At the same time, the effect it achieves is also conceptual. It rejects all non-secretary persons' contact with the confidential object, whether it is physical or magical, whether it is seeing, listening, flying spells, guiding spells, etc. , will not work.

It is as if it erases the secrecy subject from the world of non-secretaries.

Murphy shook his head, "This spell doesn't apply."

The secret keeper can take the initiative to reveal secrets, but the Red Loyalty Curse cannot achieve Murphy's goal.

"Is there a spell similar to the Unbreakable Vow, but the effect is not that the subject will die if he tells the secret, but that once he wants to reveal the secret, he will be cast into a chokehold or a petrification spell. and so on, to prevent them from leaking secrets.”

As an orphan, Murphy learned all the spells from school. Most of them were standard spells, and a few, such as simple levitation spells, were read in library books.

There was still a lot of magic he didn't know, and children from wizarding families like Alex might know more than he did.

"Throat lock tongue..." Alex thought for a while, "I seem to have seen something similar somewhere... but I can't remember..."

"It's okay, think about it slowly, this matter is not urgent."

Anyway, it will take some time for the research institute to be built, and before that, he still has to solve the bankruptcy crisis of the umbrella company.

Thinking of this, Murphy packed the medicinal ingredients mixed by Alex and a bottle of beauty potion, and went to find Patrick.

After asking Patrick to find a warehouse for himself and put the mixed medicinal materials in it, Murphy told Patrick the results of his meeting with Rita.

"She is unwilling to stand up for us. And it seems that she is not a person who can be moved by money."

Murphy still admires this kind of scientist who has personal perseverance. He can't do things like using the Imperius Curse on the other person.

"It's already very good. At least Qi has attracted the attention of many scholars. Maybe their research will bring us some good news. We can also use this to do some positive publicity."

Murphy nodded, "How about your side, how are the talks with those companies going?"

Patrick shook his head, "Forget it, they are a bunch of jackals! They are greedy! They also know that we want to delay time, so they are pressing hard. I found several negotiators, but they in turn persuaded me to go public."

"Going public?" Murphy didn't quite understand.

"On the surface, they are saying that listing can accept public supervision and offset some negative public opinion. At the same time, it can allow pharmaceutical companies to take shares and turn enemies into friends."

"In fact, they only think that after listing, they can launch a mandatory tender offer and eat us up."
