Chapter 185: Non-existent ambitions have increased
After seeing the face of the person who came in, Mr. Borgin was surprised: he knew this person, Gilderoy Lockhart, the previously unparalleled best-selling author! He disappeared after being pardoned by the Ministry of Magic. It is said that he was
I went on a trip around the world, but I didn’t expect to be imprisoned here and become a priest?
Mr. Borgin is not the kind of wizard who knows nothing about the non-magical world. On the contrary, he has a deep understanding of Muggles. He naturally knows what a "priest" is in the non-magical world. A wizard in this era has become
Father, it's also quite interesting.
It's not that there are no wizards who join the church and fall into the embrace of God, but most of these wizards lived in the Middle Ages. Since the twentieth century, Bo Jin has never heard of any wizard becoming a priest after graduation.
Therefore, Mr. Borgin also knows very well that Lockhart's mission here is definitely not to guide the lost lambs, Father, it is just a gimmick.
What on earth did Mr. Bo Jin want to do? Bo Jin secretly figured out Tom's psychology in his heart. The level of seriousness was comparable to that of a student trying to figure out the intention of the questioner during the exam. This shrewd businessman finally made up his mind to follow Tom after seeing Tom's power.
Damn. He doesn't know Tom's name yet, so he keeps using "Mr." to refer to his mysterious new boss.
Mr. Borgin is a smart man - he can't start from scratch without being smart, and make a name for himself in a place as crowded as Knockturn Alley. After Moody packed up the dark magic items in the store and took them away, he regained his consciousness.
By the time his career as an antique dealer came to an end, he simply couldn't afford the losses in his store.
But when Tom took the initiative to communicate with him, he felt that this was a good thing disguised as a bad thing. Although he couldn't do business in Knockturn Alley, he seemed to have met someone more worthy of his allegiance.
He is very optimistic about this emerging force. It has powerful force, a strong first-mover advantage, its own sphere of influence, and more importantly, it has an enterprising leader.
The last one is particularly important. The lower limit of a force is determined by the first three, but the upper limit of a force depends on the quality of the leader of the force.
In Bock's mind, Tom was undoubtedly an ambitious guy. He took control of the Dementors and also reached cooperation with the Ministry of Magic - this raid is a good example. When it comes to the relationship between the Ministry of Magic and the Dementors
Bo Jin did not believe that there was no communication and negotiation before the raid.
A few hours ago, the dementors obediently followed the officials of the Ministry of Magic to block Knockturn Alley, indicating that the negotiations between the two parties had been reached, and the Ministry of Magic officially recognized their power. This recognition is very important, and there is no official recognition.
, is an opposition force after all, but once the official acknowledges it, even if it is just acquiescence, this force can officially take the stage.
Bo Jin hopes to seize a more important position in this force by trying to figure out Tom's psychology. He analyzes silently in his heart. He has several questions that he needs to find answers to: What is Mr.'s position for himself? How will he fit into this force?
What role does it play? Who are its competitors? What is the development direction of this force?
If you can answer these questions properly, your future here will be bright.
First of all, my husband's arrangement for himself is to deal with all kinds of troubles that may occur in the prison - it is definitely not to provide instant noodles and ham sausages to the prisoners. The essence of this job is to take care of his most important rear area for him. If he can do it
Well, I will play the role of a butler - this is great, only confidants can be stewards, right?
As for who is his competitor? Currently, there is only one. Borgin has not considered those Muggles at all. Muggles are just tools for wizards and cannot be a real support. Now he can really compete with himself.
This "priest" is the only one. Sir, he placed him here just to allow me and him to check and balance each other. But judging from the fact that I can manage the use of his wand, my status must be higher than Lockhart's.
The calculations in Bo Jin's mind were spinning very fast. He quickly solved the first three questions he asked, and now he only had the last question left to figure out.
How will this force develop?
Now that Mr. Dementor is firmly in his hands, and the new Azkaban has been built, what will he do next? While further deepening his cooperation with the Ministry of Magic, secretly recruit talents? Then when the time comes
, directly overthrow Bones’ rule and replace it?
Seems to make sense!
After coming to this conclusion, Mr. Borgin was stimulated by his own deduction. The source of stimulation was not fear or fear, but excitement: secretly plotting to overthrow the Minister of Magic has happened countless times in history, and those who succeeded have gained
Astonishing returns.
Borgin believes that if his husband succeeds in becoming the next Minister of Magic, or the actual controller of the Ministry of Magic, his status will be soared. He will transform from an ordinary shop owner to "one person below ten thousand people"
"Gray-robed Prime Minister" - The premise is that you can please your husband and become a useful person in his power.
Mr. Borgin looked at Tom with awe in his eyes: What an ambitious wizard, but it just so happens that I am also an old man with some ambition and ability. We can just start the next business together...
Non-existent ambition increased.
Little did Tom know that Borkin had so many dramas in his heart. The main reason why he took Borkin to White Dolphin was to let him help look after the prison. How could there be so many twists and turns?
As for overthrowing the Ministry of Magic and replacing it, he has no intention of doing so. In the next few years, the more stable the Ministry of Magic will be, the better. Until Voldemort is completely defeated, Bones will always be his good friend.
While Borkin's brain was running rapidly, Lockhart on the other side forced out a Lockhart-like smile and stretched out his hand towards Borkin, "Nice to meet you, we will be colleagues from now on."
This sentence brought Mr. Borgin back to reality.
"Of course." Borgin also showed a very professional smile and touched Lockhart's hands. For some reason, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not ask each other's name.
"You came just in time. My husband and I are sorting out the magic items we brought back from Knockturn Alley. I believe that my partner must be very heartbroken right now." After saying hello, Borgin resumed his work.
He smiled and said to Tom.
When he said this, he could almost hear Bork's angry roar. However, Mr. Borkin had no sympathy for his companion's suffering. On the contrary, he was very happy about his misfortune.
