Chapter 697: Old and New Silencers
Then Lunn, who was a little embarrassed, stepped on the elevator again. "Department of Mysteries. A cold female voice rang out, and she fell silent. The door of the elevator crept open, and they came to the simple, empty, doorless and windowless hallway, where only the sound of their footsteps echoed.
"It's here. When he walked to the plain black door, Lunn said a little angrily, suddenly the door opened by itself, Lunn quickly turned around, and a dull wizard stood inside the door, his voice sounded in the verandah, "Hello," he looked at Alan and Luna, and showed a somewhat stiff smile, "This is my new colleague, welcome." ”
"Hello Professor Saul Crock, this is Alan Harris and Luna Lovegood, they're the new Silence Guys. Lunn asked his brother and Luna to show each other their papers.
"Lenn, Director Harris is sorry to bother, but according to the Ministry of Magic, we have to go through this formality. Thor Crocker took their badge in his hand, and the wand in his other hand was on the seal in the middle of the badge, and the yellow seal pattern floated in the air, and the seal of the Ministry of Magic rotated in the air several times. Saul Crocker's eyes rolled upwards through the top of his glasses, and unlike what he said, he carefully checked the documents to confirm that the seals were genuine, and he returned the two notebooks to them.
Then, Saul Crocker looked at Lunn in great embarrassment, and seemed a little speechless, he should take Alan and them into the Department of Mysteries, but according to the regulations, everything in the Department of Mysteries is kept secret from other departments, but it is difficult for him to stop the other party.
As Thor Crok was in a dilemma, Lunn glanced at him and said to Alan and Luna, "I'm not going in with you." Now that the handover was over, Lunn didn't plan to follow him in, and he nodded to Thor Crocker again, "Help me keep an eye on them." ”
After Lunn left, he stretched out his arm to Alan and made an inviting gesture forward, "Please follow me." ”
"I'm Saul Crocker, and it's a pleasure to meet you. As he walked, Thor introduced himself as he led Alan and them into the circular room.
Everything was black, including the ceiling and floor, and the twelve identical black doors, unmarked and without handles, were embedded in the black walls around them at some distance from each other, and some candles with blue flames dotted the walls, and the cold, flickering faint candlelight reflected on the bright marble floor, making the floor look like a pool of black water.
When the three silent men were fully entered, the black door through which they had entered the circular room closed automatically, and the circular walls swirled rapidly, making it impossible to figure out which door they had entered through.
"In these rooms, there are all kinds of mysterious powers inside, and they are very dangerous. Saul Crocker introduced his new colleague as he walked, his face filled with a sense of obsession, admiration, and fear, "There is an innate magic that exists in a form that is very difficult for us to understand, and even more difficult to say, impossible to control." And these forces that are impossible to control pose a threat to us. These rooms are very dangerous, very dangerous...... If it's not necessary, it's best not to rush in without preparation. ”
Alan knew that the silent man in front of him, now he was the only one alive in the entire Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, and his main direction was the Hall of Time, and the paper on the maximum backtrack time that would not cause serious damage to travelers and time itself was five hours was published by him based on previous research, but in the long-term research, in addition to determining that the unstable spell of the hour reversal spell should be used in the time turner to play a better effect, he did not make particularly great progress, which made his temperament a little low。
Saul Crocker took them to an office in the Department of Mysteries. It's a small, dark, messy office. With only a table and a bookshelf in it, and the stone walls around it were cold and dark, the room was estimated to only fit up to five people. The room was small, but it felt like an indescribable, terrifying, ineffable office.
"This is our office, you can choose the location you like. Thor gestured to the table, where he had already packed up his things and vacated a large space.
Alan and Luna sat down casually, and Saul Croch returned to his seat, and when he saw Alan's gaze fall on the bookshelf behind him, he turned sideways and pointed to the thick, somewhat old, curly notebooks on the shelves and said, "These are the studies of the Silent People of the Department of Occult Affairs, Mr. Harris, Miss Lovegood, I suggest you both take a look at these research notes first, there are many precautions in them, as well as the research experience of the silent people of the past, this knowledge is very valuable, so please do not mention the information in them to anyone outside, and I implore you to do not go directly to those dangerous rooms when you have not learned enough!"
As he spoke, seemingly frightened by his own words, Thor Klock changed his sitting position uneasily, "I'll give you an example, there's a room in the Department of Mysteries, and there's a huge glass tank of dark green liquid in it, and a lot of white things are floating around in it, and those are' When these brains come out of the liquid in the tank, the tentacles behind it will immediately entangle the person, and these injuries are very serious to the person's mental damage, and there is almost no way to get rid of it without help, which is very dangerous...... And this is just one of those rooms, one of the mysteries and unknown dangers. ”
At first, out of politeness, and with Saul Crock's friendly attitude, Alan and Luna never interrupted him, but listened politely. But as the other party talked more and more, the chatter made Allen lean back in the chair, his hands in front of his chest, his eyes slightly narrowed, and his brows raised. Luna beside him hung her head and played with the colored chains on her body.
After Saul Crocker's concern was completely perceived by Alan and Luna, Luna couldn't help but frown and raise her upper lip. This guy is so noisy! Alan and Luna glanced at each other, and they all had this idea - because of the previous responsibility for Arthur Weasley of the Order of the Phoenix, and the two ungraduated children of Alan and Luna were directly placed in the department with the highest secret authority in the Ministry of Magic, although Alan has a reputation as a savior, but Thor? Crocker still didn't believe that his theoretical knowledge would allow him to deal with the dangerous and mysterious forces of the Department of Mysteries, let alone look like a mad girl visiting a museum.
"Really, don't touch those rooms lightly, take a look at these tips first, if there are any problems, I'm more than willing to serve the two of you. Saul Klock's tone was full of pleading, and in his eyes, if something happened to Alan Harris and Luna Lovegood here, he couldn't escape the blame. And according to the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Magic, if something goes wrong, they will inevitably be called for questioning, asking about the cause and process of the accident, and then assisting the Ministry of Magic in its investigation, plus the other party is the son of the current Minister of Magic, the punishment will not be as easy as Arthur Weasley.
Saul Klock thinks that if this happens, it will take up some of his time and energy, and the research may not be able to proceed properly.
The Division of Mysteries is a research institute for modern wizards to study the ancient and advanced and those forgotten magics, and to pursue their highest magical attainments. The Silencers are not the power-hungry politicians of the rest of the Ministry, but rather Muggle-scientist beings who have put themselves out of the mundane matter of political affairs, promoted to wealth, and completely immersed in the pursuit of the essence of magic—though they have not read the Ether Scrolls, and have difficulty understanding and explaining its existence, let alone controlling it.
As the old man chattered, his voice grew lower and deeper...... His arm rested on the arm of the chair, resting on his forehead, and muttered, "I'm a little sleepy," Thor Klock leaned back on the back ......of the chair and slowly slid down, his body gradually relaxed, his head drooping, and he sank into sleep.
"Well done. Alan whispered to Luna, "In the future, every time you come, you can cast a spell directly." ”
"He was sleep-deprived. Luna nodded, "Let's go." ”
