Hogwarts: I am Voldemort

Most of the time, the Dark Lord doesn't behave like a human being, but this time Old Deng is a real dog.

Voldemort hung up the phone. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The more he thought about it, the more he suffered.

Then……

"Kuang, kuang, kuang..."

The ivory telephone and antique pen holder bought with a lot of money were both damaged and both perished.

Lucius, who had just gone out and walked back, happened to see this scene. His raised hand hovered over the open door, and for a moment he didn't know whether to knock or not.

"Come in." Voldemort said angrily.

The corner of Lucius's mouth twitched, and he endured the fear in his heart, walked in cautiously, stood in front of Voldemort, and did not speak for a long time.

"Bad news?" Voldemort asked after trying to calm down.

"Yes." Lucius nodded vigorously, still not daring to say more.

"Sit down."

Voldemort smoothed his rolled-up sleeves and said, "No matter what it is, you have to face it. Just tell me."

"Okay." Lucius sat down and said after a short silence, "The matter of uniting pure bloods has been destroyed."

"Dumbledore again?" Voldemort raised his head angrily and asked.

"Yes." Lucius replied cautiously.

Voldemort's eyes hovered on the table to make sure there was nothing to smash, and finally gave up the idea of ​​venting.

"The road becomes narrower as we go..." He sighed angrily again.

Lucius had told him before that Dumbledore was very energetic.

Voldemort didn't pay much attention. After all, in Lin Zuo's memory, the Dark Lord had gathered a lot of power in his later period, and after Dumbledore's death, it seemed that the only resistance force was the Order of the Phoenix.

No matter how you look at the situation, you shouldn't lose - if you don't lose the duel with Harry, you might actually win in the end.

But the problem is that the dead Dumbledore has already settled everything.

In that duel, I will definitely lose.

But now, Dumbledore obviously did not follow the same path as in his previous life. He began to confront Voldemort head-on, and he took advantage of every step.

Now, he was even involved in the pure-blood business.

"The Dumbledore family has many connections among pure bloods?" Voldemort asked.

Lucius nodded without hesitation and was not surprised by Voldemort's question.

Voldemort, who was born as a mixed-blood and did not know the wizarding world until he was eleven years old, even though he has been hanging out with pure-bloods since entering Slytherin, his understanding of pure-blood families is still 10% behind.

You know, although the Dumbledore family is not one of the twenty-eight pure-blood families, the Dumbledore family has a very long history.

Phoenix Fawkes alone is enough to reveal the heritage of the Dumbledore family.

"Are the purebloods not as good as before?" Voldemort asked doubtfully.

"No, Dark Lord, the specific reason..." Lucius hesitated.

Voldemort looked at him doubtfully, and Lucius turned red. He suddenly understood the reason.

"It's because I took power last time..." He didn't finish the sentence, but he got the idea.

Lucius nodded immediately, this was not what he said.

Voldemort immediately slapped his head, wanting to pull out the remnant soul in his head and beat him up.

You said that your brain is not working well, but you still left me a mess. What's going on...

"I can understand that they don't dare to stick together anymore, but I think we still have an advantage when it comes to pure blood." Voldemort collected his thoughts and spoke again.

"Please tell me from the Dark Lord."

Lucius wanted to stand up to listen to the decree, but Voldemort waved his hand and asked him to sit down.

"Whether it's a pure blood or a Muggle wizard, in fact, what you are pursuing is profit."

Voldemort spoke slowly while thinking, while Lucius listened carefully.

"Pure bloods hope to gain ancient glory. This is their highest aspiration, but everyone knows that this is difficult. Lucius, times have changed, do you understand?"

Lucius nodded immediately.

This was not a conspiracy between Xu and Snake. Since last year, he had listened to Voldemort's advice and began to understand the Muggle world, and indeed found that the outside world had changed a lot.

In the past, there were only so many black people in Europe, but now...

He went to France some time ago.

"The queen's power is not as good as before. Even if pure blood can control more power, whether it includes the Muggle world or not, this power is not as pure as before."

When Voldemort talked about the Queen, he glanced at Lucius specifically, but didn't see any special expression on his face - he even used telepathy, but there was no more gain.

After suppressing his thoughts, Voldemort continued: "Except for absolute power, what pure blood pursues is the continuation of magical talent. We can give you sufficient guarantee on this."

Lucius immediately agreed that this was one of the fundamental interests pursued by purebloods.

"Besides that, interests are involved, but in the final analysis, interests come from resources."

"Resources?" Lucius was a little confused.

Voldemort nodded and said: "Go and see those countries in the desert. A large part of them rely on oil to make their fortunes."

"Oil..." Lucius frowned and said, "Dark Lord, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Oil is a resource, Lucius, and so is money." Voldemort said, "Pure-blood financial concepts need to change."

"What do you mean?" Lucius looked at Voldemort.

"Break the involution of the wizarding world, enter the Muggle market, prevent the Gringotts family from becoming dominant, use Muggle currency to influence the economy of the wizarding world, and then unite more people by controlling the economic lifeline of the wizarding world."

Voldemort spoke his thoughts in one breath.

Ever since he learned that Dumbledore had blocked Azkaban, he had a hunch that Dumbledore's methods would be more than that.

He had thought of the possibility of being blocked from gathering pure blood without his presence - after all, Lucius and the others did not have their own prestige and... evil reputation.

Therefore, Voldemort prepared an alternative plan early. After all, although pure bloods are not capitalists, they have the same greed as capitalists - impressing them with benefits is the best choice.

"I...I don't quite understand..." Lucius said shamefully.

Involution, currency, economic lifeline...

Indeed, there is too much in Voldemort's words that Hogwarts graduates cannot understand.

"The so-called involution..."

Voldemort thought for a moment and explained, "You can think of the wealth of the wizarding world as a cake. Involution means that everyone is constantly competing for this cake, paying more for a small benefit."

Lucius nodded, looking like I'm working hard, but I'm not very smart.

When Voldemort saw him like this, he gave up explaining issues such as currency wars and economic lifelines, and directly used metaphors to explain his countermeasures.

"The way we win over them is no longer to help them fight for this piece of cake, Lucius. We have to look at the problem from a higher and more structured perspective."

Voldemort said, "In addition to thinking about how to distribute the cake, people at the top of power can also think about how to make the cake bigger. When the cake is bigger, it will naturally be easier to divide."

Lucius's eyes lit up, as if he understood something.

"Bring the Muggle world in, Lucius. Their technology and products after the Industrial Revolution can also be applied to potions and magic items." Voldemort said with a smile.

Lucius suddenly realized: If you had said this earlier, then I would understand!
