A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 163 Eavesdropping
The elevator descended rapidly, and after a short period of darkness, Felix caught a glimpse of the light under his feet being continuously enlarged.

Noisy sounds came into their ears, and they came to a huge underground building.

Felix studied the patterns and frescoes on the vaulted ceiling.

Maxwell caught his gaze: "We have adopted a new style - constellation patterns, and some historical events, see that big orb?" He pointed to the silvery white sphere above the dome, which was emitting soft The light illuminated the entire foyer as if it were daytime.

"It didn't exist in the past, thanks to the previous minister."

The elevator landed, and Felix stepped out of the 'cage'.He looked around, the rotunda was divided into upper and lower floors, on the first floor where he was, several long desks were juxtaposed in the center of the open space, most of the seats were full, and people were passing by in a hurry.

The second floor was supported by some pillars, and the very edge happened to be an aisle with railings. He saw someone standing in front of the railings, looking down condescendingly.

"The buildings here are arranged horizontally?" Felix asked.

"What, oh, yes, it's similar to a spider web, and we stand in the center of the spider web." Maxwell said, "It's not the same as the British Ministry of Magic. I heard that you have opened up more than a dozen floors?"

"As far as I know, it's the tenth floor," Felix said.

Next, Maxwell led Felix out of the foyer, along an open passage, to a small office.A piece of paper was pasted on it—Temporary Registration Point No. 2.

"I'll bring you here directly, so I don't have to ask the receptionist at the front desk, there's always a long line..." Maxwell pushed open the door, "Good afternoon, Willie, I'm bringing a friend to register for Muggle studies meeting."

A light-haired wizard raised his head, "Of course... a lot of people have come here recently, and I don't even have time for entertainment." He suddenly looked at Felix: "Do you like playing explosive cards?"

Maxwell interrupted him impatiently, "Willie, we are in a hurry and we have to go to the hotel soon. I feel angry when I think of that American woman."

"Ha! But you have to follow her instructions, don't you?" The wizard named Willy handed over a form while registering Felix's wand, "Just fill in whatever you want, mainly name, country and visitation Purpose these columns."

Maxwell's beard trembled, "I am following the minister's order."

Felix quickly filled out the basic information, ignoring the column of magic proficiency on the form. When he handed it to Willy, the wizard stuffed it into the drawer without looking at it, and turned his head and said to Maxwell happily: "But The minister asked you to listen to her, did that woman ask you to do the work of a waiter?"

Maxwell returned a rude gesture.

When they walked out of the office, Maxwell explained: "This meeting was applied by the Magical Congress of America to the International Federation of Wizards. After approval by all members, we will host it."

"Why don't you go to America?"

"They asked, who knows what they think?" Maxwell obviously didn't want to talk about it, and Felix guessed that it might have something to do with the 'that woman' he said.

The two came to a fireplace, "Let's use the Floo network, a temporary connection. Boothrace Hotel, remember? You go first."

Felix grabbed a handful of Floo powder, and in the clear flames, he clearly called out "Buslace Hotel", and his figure disappeared.

Felix stepped out of the fireplace. The interior decoration of the hotel was dominated by red and gold, the most conspicuous being the red carpet and golden stone pillars, which reminded Felix of Gryffindor College in Hogwarts.

He was slightly amused.

Soon, Maxwell emerged from the fireplace, led Felix into a room, and hurried away.

Felix pushed open the door. The furnishings inside were simple. It took him some time to cast a protective spell, and then he wandered around the hotel.

There are seven floors in the hotel. Felix walked to the first floor, chatted with the waiter at the front desk, and quickly judged that this was a Muggle hotel, and the location was very remote.

"Your tour group is really weird. Tourists will flock here only in autumn to enjoy the flowers and scenery. Now the surrounding area is bare..."

"And once we moved in, we were not allowed to clean the room, and there were all kinds of weird requests."

Felix responded with a few words. He didn't know what the French Ministry of Magic was talking about, so he didn't want to say more.

There were two men standing at the door, with one hand in their trouser pocket. Their demeanor looked very similar to Maxwell's. He guessed that they were guards arranged by the Ministry of Magic.

Felix asked the waiter if there was a guest named "Caredy Bubbaji", and the waiter checked the service list, "No, her room is 203, which is still vacant and was cleaned just this morning. "

After thanking him politely, Felix began to walk up from the first floor, checking for traces of black magic.

On the way, I met several wizards from different countries. They were also invited experts. Felix chatted with them a few times. Except for the language barrier, most of them were very friendly.

On the fourth floor, he found a huge auditorium with several hundred seats.

'It appears that the meeting is going on here. '

The fifth and sixth floors were all empty, but Felix walked over one by one until he heard some movement on the seventh floor.

'Did you really catch me?Or is it actually the staff in the hotel? '

Felix's figure gradually merged with the surrounding environment, his footsteps were low and inaudible, and he stopped at the door of room 705.

The sound inside was very small, but Felix saw two bright sources of magic power with the help of a black and white perspective. He tapped the wall with his wand, and the intersection between the tip of the wand and the wall became softer.

The conversation in the room came to Felix clearly——

"Have you not got the list yet?" It was a woman's voice.

"No, he has a very hard mouth." A deep man's voice sounded.

"You can't—" The woman's voice stopped suddenly, as if she had been cast with a tongue-locking spell.

"You are also aware of the problem, we can't take tough measures, at least I refuse."

The woman cursed in a low voice.

After a long time, when Felix thought the conversation was over, the man said dejectedly, "This is a complete disaster."

Footsteps came, and Felix left quickly.

In the room, he was still thinking about the information he had obtained by chance.

It turned out that one of the attackers was caught last time. Judging from the dialogue between the two parties, the identity of the attacker was still very special, which made them have some scruples.

Is it a relative of an official?
Felix suddenly felt worthless for the Galleons he had spent—the information he got was not as good as what he overheard at the door.
