"In the last century, a wizard named Ladolphus Lestrange of the Lestrange family became Minister of Magic, and he once conducted a detailed investigation of the research content of the Department of Mysteries." Sandrine informs Shevin of the family's secretive affairs department.

"The Minister of the Lestrange family has a lot of ideas, and he thinks that the research content of the Department of Mysteries has no direct effect on the development of the wizarding world, so he thinks that there is no need for the Department of Mysteries to exist." Sandrine said.

"He's obviously failed, isn't he?" Xiwen asked. "Or is it that the minister who came in later reopened the Department of Mysteries?"

"Yes, he was a complete failure." Sandrine chuckled and said disdainfully. "His orders have had no effect on the Silent Men in the Department of Mysteries, and it can even be said that he has been completely ignored as a minister."

"What a miserable minister." Shevin observed a second's silence for Minister Lestrange's misfortune, then asked, somewhat strangely. "Are the staff members who work in the Department of Mysteries called the Silencers? What a strange name. ”

"This is because their work is highly confidential. Those who are silent have no social interaction, no entertainment, and little family of their own, and most of them spend their entire lives immersed in the Department of Occult Affairs, like madmen. Sandrine explained.

"Of the few I know now, I know that the Department of Mysteries studies many of the world's mysteries, roughly divided into five items – time, space, death, thought, and love. No other information is available. ”

"Wait, forget about other projects, how did you study something as abstract as 'love'?" Xiwen was a little confused right now, and he didn't quite understand what this mysterious sounding department was working on. Forget about the rest, how can such an emotion as "love" be studied separately?

Are there many psychologists among the Silencers?' Xiwen thought to himself, confused. But that's not right, can a silent person with no social interaction and no family really be a good psychologist? Do they really understand what "love" is?

"I don't know, I'm just telling you what is recorded in the file." Sandrine shrugged her shoulders and said to Xiwen. "If you're interested, wait until you grow up to be a Minister of Magic. But remember, I'm not going to allow you to be a madman, retic, hear? ”

Xiwen nodded and replied, "Don't worry! Actually, I don't have much interest in being the Minister of Magic, let alone the strange profession of the Silencer. ”

Sandrine was relieved. Because she knew Shiwen's deep interest in magical research, she was afraid that her son would not be able to think about it, so he would go to work in a ghost place like the Department of Mysteries.

And Shevin wasn't lying. Although he didn't say it all, he really didn't have the slightest interest in being Minister of Magic and the Silencer.

The Minister of Magic has to socialize with all kinds of people on a regular basis, learn to check and balance the relationships between subordinates at all levels, and have to worry all day about the sudden emergence of a Dark Lord in the wizarding world who wants to control the Ministry of Magic...... This job can be described as tiring and dangerous!

As for the Silent People, they have no entertainment at all, they are all research freaks like madmen. This kind of person can also be seen occasionally in Kama Taj, and most of them have studied advanced magic to the point of denying their relatives and going crazy. So Xiwen stayed away from it.

He is mainly interested in the research results of the Department of Occult Affairs, and the abstract research of "love", "thought" and "death" is not mentioned for the time being, but the study of time and space is definitely very valuable.

After learning that the Department of Occult Affairs has a research project called "Time", Shevin has understood what the power of déjà vu and heart-throbbing is.

That's the power of time!

In the temples in the Himalayas, I don't know how many times, Xiwen felt the power of time in the eyes of Agamotto, the pendant worn by Master Yao's chest. Even when the soul was separated from that universe, the teacher borrowed the power of the Eye of Agamotto to protect his soul from the erosion of the cosmic rift.

Shewin was impressed by the power of time. Although the power in the Department of Mysteries is slightly different from the power of time in the eyes of Agamotto, the essence is still the same. So Xiwen can be sure that the feeling that makes his heart palpitate is time!

……

Because he felt that the world also has the power of time, Xiwen was absent-minded throughout the trial and thought about it the whole time.

His experience has made him deeply aware of the difficulty of the power of time, and now that this power is in front of him, how can he get some samples to study?

Anyway, it is impossible to be a silent person, and even if he does, he will have to say that after seven years, he can't wait so long.

As for being an official of the Ministry of Magic, he was not interested in it in the first place, and the Department of Mysteries would not necessarily hand over samples for him to study, not to mention that it would take even longer than becoming a Silent Man. Officialdom like the Ministry of Magic can be said to value seniority the most!

At this moment, an idea popped into Xiwen's mind, and as soon as it appeared, it grew like a weed!

What if you could create your own hanging ring? There is a high probability that the Ministry of Magic will not be able to prevent this kind of space spell that no one knows, so can you enter the Department of Mysterious Affairs at will? Can the power of time be taken away?

Xiwen suddenly realized what kind of thought he was generating, and he forcibly suppressed this thought.

He kept reminding himself that this was the wrong idea, that it shouldn't have appeared in his mind. If you really infiltrate the Department of Mysteries to gain the power of time, how is this kind of behavior different from stealing?

"Whew-"

He exhaled deeply, banishing distractions from his mind. Then he laughed at himself and thought, 'I haven't even made the hanging ring now, why do I start thinking about what I don't have?' ’

Xiwen smiled wryly and turned his attention to the trial, which was already coming to an end.

……

The trial went unexpectedly smoothly. The three Lorlei confessed to their crimes, nor did they deny the fact that they were commissioned by Grindelwald.

Minister Hector Foley was so pleased with the acquaintance of the three that he could not even hold back a smile in the courtroom, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly with pleasure.

After the three men had confessed their crimes, he was satisfied with the verdict: "I declare that the main culprit, Claude Lore, has been sentenced to life imprisonment for Azkaban on eleven counts of destroying public property, affecting order in the wizarding world, and endangering public safety;

Accomplice Jerem Shamrock was sentenced to 20 years in prison for seven counts of illegally raising magical beasts and harming a professor;

Accomplice Yoreli Giménez was sentenced to fifteen years in prison for six counts of maliciously casting an unforgivable spell and deliberately infiltrating Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! ”

After reading the verdict, Secretary Foley looks at the three men and asks, "Do you have any objections?" ”

Hearing this, Professor Lorley suddenly raised his head and said to him in a low voice, "I have a word I want to say. ”

"Just say it, if you don't say it, you won't have a chance." Secretary Foley is very reasonable, waving his hand.

Professor Lorley nodded, suddenly turned his head to look at the witness seat, and said with a wicked smile:

"Rozier, you're going to change your mind!"
