Take control of thunder and lightning from Hogwarts

Chapter 403 Goal, Azkaban (seeking monthly ticket recommendation)
So this alchemy room is simply a big treasure to him. Anduin often stays in it all day, day and night, either lying on the ground or leaning on the wall, observing the rune array inch by inch The magic lines on it.

This exhausted the two Ministry of Magic employees who came to supervise him. In their eyes, Anduin was too dedicated to his work. This man never rested, and he had to stay up until midnight before stopping work.

However, because of the report of the two, Minister Badeno and other executives have more trust in Anduin.

And on the fifth day of Anduin's overhaul of the alchemy room, the door key detection device finally returned to normal. After activation, as long as someone in the UK uses the door key, it can be detected by the magic circle.

However, after repairing this part, Anduin also understood why the Ministry of Magic has turned off this function all year round, because the magic power consumed by monitoring the door key is too high, which is equivalent to the energy consumption of the magic power monitoring function.

This is equivalent to instantly doubling the energy consumption of the alchemy room.

And when Anduin was researching the magic circle, he also discovered that in addition to being able to monitor the doorkey, this alchemy room can actually monitor apparition!
Of course, if this function is also turned on, the energy consumption will not only be doubled, but it will probably consume several times the magic power. The current magic power reserve of the Ministry of Magic will definitely not be able to support it for a long time.

Anduin took the opportunity to enter the [Magic Power Storage Room] of the Ministry of Magic under the pretext of overhauling the magic circle for simple observation and research.

This is the core area of ​​the Ministry of Magic. Golems and Aurors were guarded at the entrance and inside. When he entered, he was warned that he could only look and not cast spells of any kind, otherwise he would be regarded as an enemy by the guards.

But he himself just wanted to observe it, so he just checked it briefly with a magnifying glass.

Fortunately, the structure of the Ministry of Magic's "magic power source" is not complicated, but its importance is relatively high, so it is so important.

During his observation, Anduin found that the main source of magic power in the Ministry of Magic is similar to that of Hogwarts, which is to absorb and store the overflowing magic energy.

Usually, wizards from various departments cast spells and live in the Ministry of Magic, Aurors perform magic exercises and training, when they move through Apparition or Floo Network, and even raised magical animals or magic props, there will be excess magic power overflowing.

The magic circle connecting the entire Ministry of Magic will absorb and store these magic powers for other uses.

And the magic power that can be absorbed and stored every day is actually very amazing. Basically, besides the consumption in the supply department, there is still a lot of surplus.

In fact, Anduin also foresees this, because the principle of energy storage in Hogwarts is similar to that of the Ministry of Magic, and the school relies on hundreds of little kids every year, and even when there are several months of vacation, the magic power is almost guaranteed. enough support.

And the magical power that hundreds of adult wizards in the Ministry of Magic can produce every day is even more astonishing.

However, in order to study the energy consumption of magic power in the Ministry of Magic, Anduin took the time to record the outflow of magic power.

He found that the energy consumption of each floor from the first basement to the tenth floor of the Ministry of Magic was different, among which the first, second, and tenth floors had the lowest energy consumption.

This is not surprising, after all, the first two are the Minister's Office and the Legal Enforcement Department, and the tenth floor is the court room, and there are usually no people there.

And the one that consumes the most energy is not the 'Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters' or 'Department of Magical Transportation' as he imagined, but the Department of Mysteries on the ninth floor underground.

Its energy consumption accounts for almost one-third of the daily magic power consumed by the entire Ministry of Magic, and it is also the place with the highest daily magic power output.

This discovery made Anduin very surprised. He had heard of this mysterious department. The level of secrecy there was extremely high. Even Moody knew little about it. He only knew that the guards there were a group of silent people. They never speak to others.

The discovery of the magic storage room made Anduin very interested in the Department of Mysteries, but that place is of great significance to the Ministry of Magic. Although he was very curious, he didn't want to take the risk of offending the Ministry of Magic. probing.

Regarding this, he could only suppress his curiosity first, and prepare to wait until later to see if he could have the opportunity to study the Department of Mysteries.

At the same time, after Anduin finished the research and maintenance of the alchemy room, Minister Budnor found him.

It was his trip to Azkaban that was approved.

"Anduin, those two employees who were observing gave you a very high evaluation of your maintenance work in the alchemy room, and I didn't even have time to thank you." Budeno, who found Anduin, said to him in a happy mood. Said.

Highly rated?I don't think they understand anything, so they can only brag in front of you, Anduin secretly smiled in his heart, but looked at Badeno with a very humble expression.

"This is what I should do. I have given them the future maintenance methods of the alchemy room. I think you have received it here. As long as the current alchemy room is properly maintained, it can maintain normal operation for at least a hundred years."

"It would be great if it could be achieved to that extent." Minister Badeno nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at him with a serious face.
"Then you follow me closely. Although your application to go to Azkaban has been approved, I still have to accompany you all the way, including the whole process of meeting you with Sirius. I have to watch. Of course, I will not say anything. Sorry to bother you, I hope you understand."

"It's all right, but when we meet, you'd better hide it with the Disillusionment Charm. I'm not sure if Sirius will remain silent when other people are present." Anduin nodded in response.

"No problem." Budnor agreed, after all, she and Anduin mainly wanted to pry Sirius Black's mouth open this time, regardless of whether the other party was innocent or not.

"By the way, do you know the 'Patronus Charm'? Azkaban is not a safe place, and dementors don't care if you are a criminal or not." At this time, he had brought Anduin to the Ministry of Magic Badeno in the main hall turned his head to look at him.

"Don't worry, although it's not particularly proficient, it's not a problem to cast it normally." As for the Patronus Charm, Anduin can only be proficient at the moment. Ghosts are still out of the question.

"Hehe, not all Aurors in the Ministry can cast the Patronus Charm normally. You are still too modest. Sometimes I really envy Dumbledore. You are really good to have such an excellent student like you." Why don't you consider entering the Ministry of Magic directly after graduation? I am willing to promote you to be my assistant, and even if you enter the Auror Command, I can promise you the position of captain."

Minister Budenau looked at Anduin appreciatively, obviously this was not the first time she had made such a suggestion.
