Train to Another World.

Chapter 498 Confession Bureau
"What does the Malfoy family want?" Li Zhuoguang was an impatient man. He did not like the social rules of pure-blood aristocrats, so he spoke very bluntly.

Lucius was a little uncomfortable with Li Zhuoguang's style, but after all, he needed help now, so he quickly adjusted his mood and said directly: "The Malfoy family needs an ally now, a clean ally."

Li Zhuoguang waved his hand: "I can't guarantee that I will strictly follow the white wizard's code of conduct, and some of the things I did have already caught Dumbledore's attention. I'm afraid it's impossible to clear my name now."

Lucius shook his head: "Dark wizards are nothing. What kind of family the twenty-eight pure-blood families are depends only on the patriarchs of a certain generation or generations.

Almost every pure-blood family has been passed down for thousands of years. A thousand years is really too long. No family can remain "righteous" for a thousand years, and no family can remain "evil" for a thousand years.

Even the Gaunt family has been a pioneer in fighting against dark wizards. No matter what the character and inclination of the patriarch is, the first thing we will consider is how to continue the family line. "

Li Zhuoguang glanced at Lucius: "So what do you mean by clean?"

"Nothing to do with the Dark Lord." Lucius leaned forward a little and whispered, "Although I don't want to admit it, there are too few pure-bloods in the wizarding world now. Maybe in the future, the number of pure-bloods will be less than that of Muggle wizards.

At present, the majority of wizards are half-bloods. Although at the beginning, pure-blood wizards were more likely to learn magic because of their bloodline and accumulation, and had more resources to improve themselves.

However, as the population of mixed-blood wizards increased, they also began to slowly encroach on the interests of pure-blood wizards. The British Ministry of Magic has seven departments, and pure-bloods are still in charge of the department heads, but the situation for the next term is not optimistic.

Ten years ago, the struggle between the Dark Lord and Dumbledore was ostensibly a struggle between black and white wizards. But dark wizards are not new, so how could they fight like that and cause a bloodbath? They are all relatives.”

Li Zhuoguang understood: "It's a struggle for interests between pure-blood wizards, half-blood wizards, and Muggle wizards."

"Not exactly." Lucius explained, "Although the Dark Lord advocates the supremacy of pure-bloods, we also have many half-blood wizards on our side. On the other side, there are also people from the Sacred Twenty-Eight Clans.

Strictly speaking, it should be a struggle between the old nobility and the new forces. We want to protect our inherent interests, while those emerging families and pure-bloods with no industry think that we have occupied the majority of resources for too long and it is time to change people. "

"Well, it's still for the sake of interests." This did not surprise Li Zhuoguang. No matter where or what era, the reason for launching a war was mostly for this.

"Wait!" Li Zhuoguang suddenly discovered the key point: "Although Dumbledore was very ambitious when he was young, he had long lost his worldly desires after he imprisoned Grindelwald in Nurmengard.

Also, Weasley is considered the victor, right? It looks like they are eating the resources of the loser?!"

Hearing Li Zhuoguang's question, Lucius closed his eyes in pain and said with gritted teeth: "This is the reason for our failure. It was originally a battle between the old and new forces, and no one distinguished between black wizards and white wizards.

But, Lord...some accidents happened to the Dark Lord, which changed his temperament. He was originally an outstanding wizard with foresight, erudition, and charisma, so we are willing to surround him and let him be our leader.

But after his accident, his personality began to become extreme, eccentric, moody, and he took pleasure in killing and torturing. His wand was not always pointed at the enemy.

Because of his extreme behavior, he angered the white wizards led by Dumbledore, and the Order of the Phoenix joined the war. We...we really became dark wizards.

More and more white wizards joined Dumbledore's side, and most of those who came to us were dark wizards, and even werewolves, giants, and Dementors. Facing increasingly powerful enemies, we could not refuse the active forces who joined us, and we could not go back.

In fact, this is nothing, history is written by the victors. But the most fatal thing is that the Dark Lord has not only changed his temperament, but also lost his former wisdom. "

"Well, the leader becomes a retard, and then you're done."

Lucius nodded grimly: "Although I didn't go to Azkaban and saved the Malfoy family, no one is a fool. I have been marked with the mark of the Dark Lord. White wizards hate Malfoy, new forces covet Malfoy, and the remnants of the Dark Lord who escaped hate Malfoy.

Now I can only huddle together with a few families who have gone through the same experience, but precisely because we all have the same experience and face the same difficulties, it is better than nothing.

Therefore, I urgently need an ally who will not be targeted by many parties. "Li Zhuoguang smiled and said, "I am an outsider, and I am also a new noble who has just arrived. Why are you not afraid that I also covet Malfoy's wealth?"

Lucius shook his head. "Even Malfoy, who is famous for his wealth, doesn't dare to say he is rich in front of you. I am sure that you will have no shortage of gold galleons for anything. So when our two families cooperate, what you need is only other things, not the wealth of the Malfoy family."

"So what can you offer?"

Lucius sat up straight and said seriously, "Connections, channels, industrial chains, and mouthpieces. This can be seen from the fact that your butler has been keen on taking on brokerage work since he came here. You urgently need to establish cooperative relations with local forces and form a community of interests."

Li Zhuoguang really wanted to say that this was just what Wei Changfeng wanted to do. If he wanted to use local forces, he would probably be more inclined to conquer them by force like Voldemort did.

That’s right, the twelve-year-old Li Zhuoguang was so simple, crude and impatient.

However, Wei Changfeng had already opened up the situation, so Li Zhuoguang would not go and make trouble: "That's right, but why should I choose Malfoy instead of the winner on the other side?"

Lucius said, "The winner has many choices, but Malfoy and several other families only have one choice for you."

"Deal, what do you need me to do?"

After hearing what Li Zhuoguang said, Lucius breathed a sigh of relief: "It's nothing, actually. Your family is now strong and well-funded, and your butler will become a member of the Wizengamot after Christmas.

You just need to support us when the other side targets us."

Li Zhuoguang asked, "Besides me, how many other councillors do you have in the Wizengamot?"

"Three."

Li Zhuoguang had a bad feeling: "How many senators are there in the Wizengamot?"

"More than fifty."

"...Are you a little too optimistic?"

Lucius shook his head. "Although the Wizengamot is nominally a voting system, even Dumbledore can only cast one vote. But the weight of Dumbledore's vote is much heavier than that of an ordinary member of parliament."

In fact, in an environment where great power belongs to oneself, there is no democracy. There will not be a plot where a foundation-building disciple frames a Mahayana ancestor and sends him to the Law Enforcement Hall.

Li Zhuoguang nodded: "I can agree to your request, but I also want to see the quality of the Malfoy family."

"Please tell me."

"Wei Changfeng is about to take office, and he needs a good reputation. We plan to set up a werewolf rescue foundation to provide free wolf poison potion every month to werewolves without criminal records."

Lucius estimated the expenses required, gritted his teeth and said, "Leave it to me. On the day Councillor Wei takes office, I will wait for him to cut the ribbon in front of the foundation gate."

Li Zhuoguang raised the cup filled with pumpkin juice: "I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Lucius also raised his glass: "May our family friendship last forever!"
