Chapter 220 218. Adding bricks and tiles
Northwestern France, at the northernmost tip of the Cotentin Peninsula, near the coast near the Channel of La Manches (English Channel).
A dark castle that cannot be found by Muggles was built here.
This fortress does not have a long history. Compared with many ancient castles in Europe with a history of thousands of years, it was just built this year and it is not even a baby.
It's just that in today's French magic world, no castle is more famous than it.
But in fact, the fort has never been named after it was built. It is just a newly established institution like the castle, and what makes every French wizard unforgettable is the name of this new institution——
Correctional Institute.
After Voldemort finished confiscating the magic wands of all French hemp wizards, the correctional center officially began to open.
All the scumbags who are over 16 years old and have been deprived of the right to own wands will all be brought here to be disciplined and reformed by the theory of pure-blood superiority.
They will be imposed on the man, giving all wizards a new ideology.
"Humanoid House Elf" - this is the unified name of the **** wizards who come out of here.
In fact, for the magic world or wizards, there is no shortage of slaves such as hemp-born wizards. Although house elves are generally only kept in captivity by pure-blood families, it does not mean that other wizard families cannot afford to support them. Hygienic slaves are of no use to them.
Magic wizards have lost their rights as human beings. The biggest benefit for pure-bloods and mixed-bloods is the positions and social resources they have vacated.
These resources will be divided among all wizards who obey Voldemort's rule, and the biggest use of the hemp-seeded wizards who become slaves at the same time will be sent to all walks of life for oppressive labor.
As long as they are not starved to death, there will be no other human costs at all, and they can be squeezed to death.
As a result, the cost of various magic utensils began to drop, most notably in the magic companies that produced broomsticks, Floo powder, quill pens, parchment and other daily necessities.
Cost reduction, price unchanged made their profits soar a lot, and the direct beneficiaries of these companies and interests are pure blood and new pure blood.
As for the half-blood wizards, they were not squeezed out by the cheap manpower that flooded into the market.
Because the "Mudbloods" are forbidden to have magic wands, this means that they can only carry out some basic production processes, and the key steps still require hybrids who can cast spells with magic wands.
In this way, the work becomes easier. After receiving the original resources of the hemp-seeded wizard, the salary remains the same, and even a pure blood with a conscience will give them a salary increase. In addition to becoming a second-class citizen in terms of status and social rights, the actual The benefits make the mixed-race people still feel that the theory of blood superiority still has its "reason".
So the French wizards, who were still a little trembling at the beginning of accepting Voldemort's rule, got such a result under extremely low expectations, and everyone still felt that this day was actually not bad.
It’s just such a good day, and they can’t make a decision about who is sacrificed, and they can’t see it anyway, so it has nothing to do with them.
And the source of all these changes in France comes from this fortress called "Correction School".
The fact is indeed the case, Voldemort has been personally assigned the work here in the correctional center.
In order to allow the first batch of "stabs" to quickly change their minds, he even called Gilderoy Lockhart, the office director of the British Ministry of Magic's Memory Cancellation Office and one of his capable subordinates, to France.
Lockhart did not join the Death Eaters, which also meant that he did not enter Voldemort's true core subordinate field, but this did not prevent his excellent Oblivion Curse skills from "shining" for the entire wizarding world.
At first, he was just a prisoner who wanted to benefit himself by illegally using the Forgetting Curse on wizards to tamper with memory.
When the Auror caught him, he didn't even have to go through the Wizengamot's trial procedure, and was about to imprison him directly in Azkaban. Voldemort, who was idle, saw his criminal record by coincidence. The wizard, who knows almost no spells, but has repeatedly succeeded with the Oblivion Curse, became interested.
Thus, Lockhart met the "greatest gentleman" in the magic world.
When he was brought in front of Voldemort, he was so scared that he peed in his pants. It was really scared, not an adjective.
He swore that he originally just wanted to finish this last shot, and then he was going to change his face and leave the UK where the cost of crime is extremely high and dangerous, and go to other countries to continue his chic life.
Then he was caught.
The Aurors under Voldemort's government are highly mobile, because incompetent half-bloods have no chance to enter the Ministry of Magic. Most of the positions here are reserved for pure-blood lords, and once they make mistakes, the half-bloods will be subject to a continuous sitting policy. will be punished together.
And what Voldemort hates the most is personal incompetence and mediocrity, and even added a "crime of incompetence" to the magic law.
Once it is confirmed that the crime is the lightest, it will go to Azkaban for half a year (generally weak-willed, three months will be insane).
So highly educated Aurors like Scabio are not an exception in the Auror Command, and seconded **** like McNeill are a minority.
Lockhart was targeted by the Aurors in this way, and was subsequently arrested.
But then he was lucky.
Originally, according to his crimes, he would have been squatting in Azkaban for at least three years, but Voldemort took a fancy to his talent in the Forgetting Curse, granted him an amnesty, and arranged for him to work in the memory cancellation office to cover his crimes and meritorious deeds.
Lockhart, who was so frightened that he became incontinent, worked diligently after entering the memory write-off office, and changed from a handsome criminal suspect to a social animal today.
His excellent Oblivion Curse solved many diehards and dealt a big blow to the Order of the Phoenix led by Dumbledore.
After all, there is nothing more painful than the close comrades who fought for freedom together, and after being caught, they frantically stated that they are pure-blooded dogs.
There are also some "Mudblood" thorns in Hogwarts Castle, all of which are left to Lockhart to solve. Few of the "Mudblood" who have been handled by him are still disobedient.
It is precisely this kind of achievement that makes his promotion like a rocket. In less than three years after joining the Ministry of Magic, he has changed from an ordinary employee to an office director.
Still not forgotten by Voldemort, it was brought to France to contribute to the cause of pure blood.
