070 British Ministry of Magic
He had already figured out how to get into the Ministry of Magic from Arthur Weasley's conversation two days earlier. As long as you press the # button four times in a row in the phone booth, the phone booth will start to detect whether it is a wizard behavior.
If it's a wizard, they'll be brought into the Hall of the Ministry of Magic, which is located underground.
In order to solve this level, William also brought a middle-aged Neville's arm this time.
William took control of Mark 1 and came to the phone booth after evading several pedestrians. He looked around and saw that no one was looking, then opened the glass door of the phone booth and stepped inside.
According to Arthur Weasley's information, William quickly pressed the # key four times. With the last press, Mark One instantly detected a mysterious magic force appearing in the phone booth.
William looked at Mark One's cue and immediately removed Neville's arm that was stored in the backpack of the module on his back.
When this mysterious magic swept across Neville's arm, William, who was in the Mark One mecha, involuntarily held his breath.
He didn't know what the principle of this detection magic inside the phone booth was, but according to Arthur Weasley's intelligence, he believed that this detection magic was nine times out of ten to detect wizard blood.
Airplanes~
As the phone booth began to slowly descend, William finally breathed a sigh of relief that his guess was correct. This detection magic was not as clever as he thought. As long as it is an item with wizard blood, it will judge it as a wizard.
As the phone booth lands, pass through a long black corridor. A long hall of resplendent gold appeared in William's field of vision.
Dubai has polished dark wood floors, and peacock blue ceilings are inlaid with glittering gold symbols, flickering and dimming, constantly moving and changing, like a giant high-altitude display.
The walls on both sides of the hall are lined with many gilded fireplaces and telephone booths where William stood. William guessed that the fireplaces had the same function as the phone booths, and that they were supposed to be the flying nets that wizards used to commute to and from work.
There is a statue in the very center of the hall, and a steady stream of pale blue water flows from the granite spout in the hands of the two humanoid statues.
William carefully drove Mark One out of the phone booth and in front of the statue, and beyond the statue, he saw a row of golden gates. Looking at the style of the door, William guessed that it was supposed to be an elevator to other levels of the Ministry of Magic.
"Wizards are forbidden to use Muggle world technology, but your Ministry of Magic actually has an elevator, isn't this an obvious double standard?"
William cautiously slowed his pace towards the golden gates. At the same time, he complained about the puzzling decrees of the Ministry of Magic.
Aren't cameras, slide instruments, and elevators all inventions of the human world? These were used by wizards, who had to ban them from using Muggle technology.
By the way, there are trains.
As soon as he thought of this, William couldn't help but shake his head, disdainful of the wizarding world's practices.
"If I'm not mistaken, the time turner seems to be stored in the Time Hall of the Department of Mysteries. Let me find out... It was supposed to take the elevator to the ninth floor. ”
William looked carefully at the number of the golden gates, and the number of floors they could reach, and then chose a special elevator that would lead to the Mystical Division on the ninth basement floor.
He controlled Mark One, pressed the elevator button, and in a moment the golden door in front of him was opened. William looked around the inside of the elevator and scanned it again with the magic detection system on Mark One, and found that there were no magic traps or enchantments inside.
Only then did he step into the elevator with peace of mind and head towards the Department of Mysteries.
Bite!
With a crisp and pleasant prompt, the elevator door was reopened, and William cautiously poked his head out, while devoting some of his energy to the box of Mark One.
Realizing that there were no wizards in the dimly lit hallway of the Department of Mysteries, he stepped out of the elevator. Step on the floor of a patchwork of dark and light colors, looking for the location of the Hall of Time.
The British Ministry of Magic is the main governing body of the British wizarding world, responsible for making laws and governing all wizards in the United Kingdom. The Ministry of Magic was founded in the 17th century as the Council of Wizards.
It was involved in the development of the International Confederation of Wizards' Secrecy Act. For purposes of secrecy, this act prohibits underage wizards from using magic at will, while prohibiting non-wizards from possessing and using wands.
The British Ministry of Magic has a total of seven departments, that is, seven departments, namely the Office and Logistics Department of the Minister of Magic, the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures, the Department of International Magical Cooperation, the Department of Magical Transportation, the Department of Magical Sports, the Department of Mystery Affairs, and the General Management Department in the Unknown Level.
The functions of each division are different. For example, the largest magical law enforcement division is a collection of police and judicial facilities, just like the UK Home Office.
For example, after graduating from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Arthur Weasley joined the Office of the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Objects in the Division of Magical Law Enforcement.
The function of this department is to restrict wizards from applying magic to items used by Muggles, and to ensure that they do not return to Muggle hands. The Ministry of Magic has also issued a corresponding magic ban on wizards and wizards from using magic on Muggle items with a certain purpose or intention, so that they can have additional functions.
However, as a clerk in the department, Arthur Weasley considered it legitimate for him to use his magic on the family's Ford Anglia on the grounds that he did not want to fly with him and was not "with some purpose or intention".
What an interesting explanation. As a regulator, he specializes in finding loopholes in the law, researching Muggle world items and casting magic on them to give them functions that they shouldn't have.
And the Department of Mysterious Affairs, which William came to this time, is a very mysterious department. The vast majority of the contents of this department are highly classified.
Only a handful of the top leaders of the Ministry of Magic know what research the department is doing and what items are inside.
However, William looked at the rows of department markers on either side of the hallway, and he could roughly guess what the Department of Mysteries was working on.
Love, space, thought, death, time.....
"Found you!"
When William came to a department with a door sign that said the Hall of Time, his eyes lit up and his heart felt extremely happy.
According to the information he had obtained, the time turner was stored in this time hall.
Without any hesitation, William hurriedly controlled Mark One and began to inspect the gate in front of him. Check for some kind of magical enchantment in the door leading to the interior of the Time Hall.
"Mr. William, Mark One has not detected any magic on this gate."
