Chapter 697 New and Old Silent People
Following a somewhat embarrassed Lunn, he stepped onto the elevator again. "Department of Mysteries." A cold female voice sounded, and she fell into silence after speaking. The elevator door opened with a roar, and they came to the empty, simple corridor without doors or windows. Only the sound of their footsteps echoed in the corridor.
"We're here." Lun En said angrily when he walked to the simple black door. Suddenly the door opened by itself. Lun En quickly turned around and saw a sullen wizard standing inside the door. His voice sounded. There was a voice in the corridor, "Hello," he looked at Allen and Luna, showing a slightly stiff smile, "This is my new colleague, welcome to you."
"Hello, Professor Saul Crocker, this is Alan Harris and Luna Lovegood, they are the new silent people." Len asked his brother and Luna to show each other their IDs for inspection.
"Director Len Harris, I'm sorry to bother you. It's just a formality according to the regulations of the Ministry of Magic." Sol Crocker held their IDs in his hand and pointed the wand in his other hand. On the seal in the middle of the document, a yellow seal pattern floated in the air, and the Ministry of Magic seal rotated several times in the air. Saul Crocker's eyes turned upward through the top of his glasses. It was different from what he said. He carefully checked the documents and confirmed that the seals were authentic. He returned the two notebooks. them.
Then, Saul Crocker looked at Lunn in embarrassment, seeming hesitant to speak. Next, he should take Allen and the others into the Department of Mysteries, but according to regulations, everything in the Department of Mysteries is for other departments. It's a secret, but I can't stop the other party.
When Sol Crocker was in trouble, Lunn glanced at him and said to Allen and Luna: "I won't go in with you." Now that the handover was completed, Lunn did not plan to follow him in anymore. He nodded to Sol Crocker again, "Take care of them for me."
After Lunn left, he stretched out his arms to Allen and the others and made an invitation gesture, "Please follow me."
"I'm Saul Crocker, nice to meet you." Saul introduced himself as he walked, and he led Allen and the others into the circular room.
Everything here, including the ceiling and floor, is black; twelve identical black doors with no markings or handles are set at a certain distance from each other and embedded in the surrounding black walls, some with blue flames. Candles were dotted on the walls, and their cold, flickering light reflected on the bright marble floor, making it look like there was a puddle of black water on the floor.
When the three silent men fully entered, the black door they had entered into the circular room automatically closed, and the circular walls rotated rapidly, making it unclear which door they entered through.
"There are all kinds of mysterious powers in these rooms, which are very dangerous." Sol Crocker introduced to his new colleagues as he walked, his face showed a kind of addiction, a kind of admiration and a... Some 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 will pose a threat to us. These rooms It’s very dangerous, very dangerous... If it’s not necessary, it’s best not to rush in without preparation.”
Allen knew the silent man in front of him. Now he is the only one alive in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. His main attack direction is the Hall of Time, regarding the longest look back time that will not cause serious damage to travelers and time itself. The five-hour paper was published based on previous research. However, in long-term research, in addition to determining that the hour reversal spell, an unstable spell, should be applied to the time converter to achieve better results, he He didn't make particularly big progress, which made his temperament seem a bit gloomy.
Saul Crocker took them to an office in the Department of Mysteries. It was a dark, messy little office. There was only a table and a bookshelf inside, and the surrounding stone walls looked cold and dark. This room could only accommodate up to five people. Although the room was small, it felt like an indescribable, terrifying, indescribable office.
"This is our office. You can choose the location you like." Sol pointed to the table. He had already packed away his things, leaving a large space free.
Allen and Luna sat down casually, and Sol Kroc also returned to his seat. When he saw Allen and the others' eyes falling on the bookshelf behind him, he turned sideways and pointed at the books on the shelf. The thick, somewhat old, curled notebook said: "These on the bookshelf are the research of the silent people of the Department of Mysteries through the generations. Mr. Harris and Miss Lovegood, I suggest you two take a look at these research notes first. There are many precautions, as well as the research experience of silent people of all ages. This knowledge is very valuable, so please do not mention the information to anyone outside. I also implore you two to never directly speak if you have not learned enough knowledge. Go to the dangerous rooms!”
As he said that, he seemed to be frightened by his own words. Thor Kroc changed his sitting posture uneasily, "Let me give you an example. There is a room in the Department of Mysteries. There is a huge glass filled with dark green liquid. There are many white things floating around in the water tank. Those are the 'brains'. When these brains come out of the liquid in the water tank, the thought tentacles behind them will immediately wrap around the person, and these injuries will cause mental damage to the person. It's very serious, you can't get out of it without help, it's very dangerous... and this is just one room, one of countless mysterious and unknown dangers."
Out of politeness at first, and because Sol Crocker's attitude was very friendly, Allen and Luna never interrupted him, but listened politely. But as the other party talked more and more, and the chatter continued, Allen couldn't help but lean back on the chair, clasping his hands on his chest, narrowing his eyes slightly and raising his brows. Next to him, Luna lowered her head and played with the colorful chain on her body.
After Thor Crocker's concerns were fully perceived by Allen and Luna, Luna couldn't help but frown and raised her upper lip. This guy is so noisy! Allen and Luna looked at each other and came up with this idea - because they had previously taken the blame for Arthur Weasley of the Order of the Phoenix, and Allen and Luna's two children who had not graduated were directly arranged. In the most confidential department of the Ministry of Magic, although Alan has a reputation as a savior, Sol Crocker still does not believe that his theoretical knowledge can allow him to immediately deal with these dangerous and mysterious forces in the Department of Mysteries, let alone Not to mention the crazy girl who looked like she was in a trance visiting a museum.
"Really, don't touch those rooms easily. Let's take a look at these experiences first. If you have any questions, I'm very willing to help you." Sol Kroc's tone was full of requests. In his eyes, if anything happens to Alan Harris and Luna Lovegood here, he will not be able to escape the blame. And according to the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Magic, if they have a problem, they will definitely be called for questioning, ask about the cause and process of the accident, and then assist the Ministry of Magic in the investigation, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Plus The other party is the son of the current Minister of Magic, and he will not be punished as easily as Arthur Weasley.
Saul Klock believes that if this is the case, it will occupy part of his time and energy, and the research may not be able to proceed normally.
The Department of Mysteries is a research institute where modern wizards study ancient and profound magic and those forgotten magics, and pursue their highest magical attainments. The Silent People are not politicians in other parts of the Ministry of Magic who are keen on pursuing power, but some existences like Muggle scientists who put themselves aside from political affairs such as promotion and wealth, and are completely immersed in pursuing the essence of magic—— Although they have not read the Nether Scroll, it is difficult for them to understand and explain its existence form, let alone control it.
As the old silent man chattered on, his voice became lower and deeper... He put his arms on the armrests of the chair, held his forehead, and murmured: "I'm a little sleepy..." Sol ?Klock leaned on the back of the chair, slid down slowly, his body gradually relaxed, his head hung down, and he fell into sleep.
"Good job." Allen said softly to Luna: "Just cast the spell every time you come here."
"He lacks sleep." Luna nodded: "Let's go."
