"Thank you, but I didn't expect such a big thing to happen in England when I came. She couldn't bear to say, "That imposter of yours from the Ministry of Magic doesn't even know me, and I thought you didn't dare to recognize me...... It turns out that this is not the case - do you need any help now...... I can provide some assistance privately, and although it is not allowed to interfere, I can feel that the British Ministry of Magic is not a good person right now. ”

"Oh, you don't need help, thank you for that......" Lockhart breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to hug her as a token of gratitude, "It's good that you haven't seen me, and if something happens, I'll ask you for help." ”

Lockhart's enthusiastic actions frightened Hu Xinya, and she waved her hand back again and again: "Oh, you're welcome, thanks to you, we can fall in love freely now...... Most people appreciate you. ”

"What does your free love have to do with me?" Lockhart hugged in the air, a little embarrassed.

"Before, because the number and quality of wizards were too poor...... Every good wizard who gets married and has children must obey the arrangements of the management...... For example, I ......," she stammered, "but after the Hidden World sent out the mountain, there is no need, there are thousands of wizards who are better and more powerful than me...... As soon as a handful of them were grabbed, the regulations in this regard were abolished. ”

"Oh, that's right. Lohart nodded, "Got a boyfriend?"

"No, but I think I'll find it!" she smiled sheepishly, "As for giving you such a good wizard for the first time, I don't regret it, but you're not my type......"

"Be a friend. "What if I'm your favorite type, Lockhart breathed a sigh of relief and held out his hand sincerely.

"Well, you are not only my friend, but also the friend of all Chinese wizards!"

At this time, the atrium of the Ministry of Magic arrived, and Hu Xinya said goodbye to Lockhart. Leaving the elevator, Lockhart and Scrimgeour continued to descend the elevator as they prepared to go to the Department of Mysteries.

"Who is that?" Scrimgeour couldn't understand Chinese, and stood stupidly for a while, "It looks like I know you very well, and I know that you are real Lockhart." ”

"A friend I met while traveling in China. "Strictly speaking, it should be a cannon friend, Lockhart didn't say it.

"Reliable, what if you let him go without erasing her memory, and she leaked our whereabouts?" said Scrimgeour dissatisfied.

"Reliable, there's no reason for her to betray me. I still have a good relationship with her. ”

"But she won't let you hug ......," Scrimgeour scoffed.

"That's because Chinese girls are more conservative. Lockhart explained.

――

"Department of Mysteries. With an indifferent voice rang out, the elevator doors opened again.

This is a place where wizards study unexplained phenomena, much like Muggle research. But unlike Muggles, the number of wizards is too small, and it is difficult to assemble a bunch of smart wizards who love to study to form a complete research team. That is, they don't know why, and in this regard, Muggles have begun to gradually surpass wizards. They had begun to study the deeper structure and mysteries of things, and had used the results of their research to make their lives better and more powerful—perhaps in a few decades or hundreds of years, Muggles would have a way to resist wizards.

Fortunately, the methods that Muggles can use in the future can also be used by wizards, while the methods of wizards cannot be imitated by Muggles. There is no fear that Muggles will bully wizards.

Now that the wizarding world in Britain is in chaos, the ordinary researchers of the Department of Mysteries are no longer working, and the secrecy who protects the energy supply system only acts until someone attacks or breaks through this door, and this place is empty at the moment...... Lockhart and Scrimgeour easily found the door that had been locked forever.

"Why isn't the Secret One watching from the door?" Lockhart and Scrimgeour stood in front of the door. Took out the key.

"This shows that behind this door there is a very strong defense system and a way to delay the wizard's footsteps...... No wizard can directly enter the location of the energy supply system before the secret one arrives. "But we have the key." The alarm should not be triggered. ”

Lockhart inserted the key into the keyhole, and a slight wave of magic rippled through the door, and the key became turnable. Lockhart twisted the key, and there was a sound of mechanical activity, and the door was opened.

"The most powerful force in the world is behind the door...... Lockhart lowered his voice and uttered the official statement, pushing the door open, and the black hole behind the door ......

"Fluorescent flickering. Seeing Lockhart hesitate, Scrimgeour lit his wand and walked in first.

Lockhart pulled the key as well, carefully followed Scrimgeour into the door, and closed the door with his hand. Directly opposite the door is a wall, which can be left or right, and it is a small alley, black and long...... There was no end in sight, but Lockhart could sense the faint traces of magic on the walls, and it must not be as simple as walking past.

"Left or right?" Lockhart asked.

"I'll go left and you'll be right, and I'll come back after 10 minutes without the end. ”

Scrimgeour put a full set of protective charms on himself, and cautiously turned left and walked along the path, while Lockhart did the same and went to the right.

――

After walking for dozens of meters, you can't see the end at all, but you can feel that this passage has an arc, and you may meet the oncoming Scrimgeour if you keep going. There was no shop in front of the village, and the walls on the sides and under the feet of the head had not changed in any way, and there was no magic attacking them, and the uneasiness and depression slowly gathered.

After walking for a few minutes, as expected, a bright light appeared in the passage of the black hole in front of him, and as he continued walking, Lockhart could see a man walking towards him with a lighted wand.

"Who?"

"Me. ”

"Why did you expel me from the Aurors back then?" Lockhart asked aloud.

"I didn't fire you, you resigned yourself. Scrimgeour replied.

――

The two men went in opposite directions, but came together again.

"Obviously, it's a circular corridor...... "so where is the energy supply system?" ”

"As I walked along the passage to the right, I could clearly feel that it had an arc to the left...... In other words, it's a circle with the wall on my left side as the inner circle. "Maybe the circular passage surrounded the energy supply system. ”

"You mean we can break down this wall and get to the energy supply system?"

"Possibly. ”

"Then try - torn apart!"

A spell hit the wall, and the bricks that were hit lit up, but unscathed.

"What does it mean when it's lit up?" Scrimgeour asked curiously.

"Looks like it's activated?" Lockhart leaned over curiously, "Didn't that friend of yours tell you what to do?" ”

"His duty is to come and chase people away when someone forcibly breaks in. "He's actually never been in this situation before, and he doesn't know what it's like here." ”

"Uh...... No wonder this door doesn't need to be guarded, and if someone comes in, they have to waste a lot of time here. Lockhart said helplessly, "Don't try it out, let me see if I can see what I can do." ”

He lit his wand brighter and pressed it against the wall to observe the walls of the circular passageway, which, unlike the normal tiles in the hall outside, seemed to be reinforced by powerful magic. But if you look closely, you can see that there are some unknown spells mixed in, and the one that Scrimgeour just hit is shining because the magic in it that I don't know what will work is activated.

He looked at the piece next to him, and then made a new discovery: he couldn't understand what the magic on a wall tile was, because it was actually connected to the magic patterns on all the surrounding wall tiles, and the magic patterns on all the bricks in this passage were put together to form a complete magic!

"Looks like the designers of this passage wanted us to activate all the bricks here, and then a door might open or something......," Lockhart concluded.

"Are you sure, if yes, I'll do it. Scrimgeour looked at the bricks above him, "I'll go this way, you go that way, see who has the most bricks activated." ”

"Don't bother. Lockhart smiled confidently: "There are thousands of wall tiles here, do you want to activate the past little by little." ”

"Ahh
