Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King

#226 - Chapter 226 This is called killing two birds with one stone

Fudge poured out all the confusion in his heart.

He really wanted to get this done, so he desperately needed Sebastian to answer his questions.

Faced with Fudge's doubts, Sebastian smiled confidently: "How to make the prisoners commute quickly? This question is not very difficult."

Not difficult?

Your attitude makes me feel a little incompetent...

Fudge racked his brains but couldn't figure out where Sebastian's confidence came from.

Azkaban is located in a remote location, built on a lonely island in the vast sea. It is impossible for wizards to reach it through Apparition.

If you want to go there, you can only take the special ships of the Ministry of Magic.

However, the speed of that special ship is not fast, and it only sails at specific times each month. It is simply wishful thinking to use it for ordinary commuting.

There is a faster way - Floo Powder.

It's simple to implement, just build some fireplaces in Azkaban and then connect the fireplaces to the Floo Network.

However, the cost of so many people commuting with Floo Powder every day is not small.

You know, a spoonful of Floo Powder costs 2 Sickles.

More importantly, this method has great safety risks.

In case a prisoner who doesn't have eyes, when standing in the fireplace, gets a hot head and shouts some other place to directly escape, it will be a disaster.

At that time, the blame for the prisoners' escape will all be pinned on his own head.

Just imagining this scene, Fudge couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Besides Floo Powder, what other fast way to commute is there?

Fudge frowned, unconsciously stroking the teacup in his hand, and couldn't think of a solution after thinking for a long time.

"Sebastian, tell me quickly how to solve the commuting problem?"

"Minister," Sebastian said with a smile, "Do you remember the Vanishing Cabinet, a peculiar alchemical item that appeared during the last wizarding war?"

Vanishing Cabinet?

Who doesn't remember that!

The image of the Vanishing Cabinet immediately appeared in Fudge's mind.

This kind of cabinet is usually in pairs. Wizards can enter one cabinet, close the door, and appear from another cabinet.

During the last wizarding war, the Vanishing Cabinet saved many families.

However, wasn't the inventor of the Vanishing Cabinet killed by the mysterious man?

There are not many Vanishing Cabinets on the market now, and even if there are one or two, they are antiques with ridiculously high prices.

However, for the sake of his political achievements, this Galleon still has to be spent.

Thinking of this, Fudge said to Sebastian: "The Vanishing Cabinet is a good method, which can solve the point-to-point commuting problem for prisoners."

"However, the volume of the Vanishing Cabinet is not large, and it cannot accommodate a few people at a time. If you want the prisoners to commute, one or two sets of Vanishing Cabinets are not enough."

"And I highly doubt whether enough Vanishing Cabinets can still be found on the market now."

"Sebastian, does Swan Alchem have a lot of Vanishing Cabinets in stock?" Fudge asked with a frown.

"Unfortunately, Swan Alchem does not have any stock."

You don't have stock, what are you talking about here...

Fudge was a little speechless, and was about to complain when he heard Sebastian say.

"However, I have figured out the principle of the Vanishing Cabinet and successfully replicated a brand new Vanishing Cabinet."

"The original Vanishing Cabinet was designed for families, so the space is small and not suitable for Azkaban."

"Therefore, the new Vanishing Cabinet can be built into a room style to meet the commuting requirements of Azkaban prisoners."

"If the Minister chooses this plan, I can give the Ministry of Magic a preferential price, and waive any maintenance fees within three years."

Replicated the Vanishing Cabinet?

And it can be built into a room style?!

In this way, the prisoners' commuting problem is directly solved.

Fudge looked at Sebastian and said with a beaming smile: "This plan is good! Fast and safe, it's decided! We will discuss the specific details later."

As if relieved of a heavy burden, Fudge breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the sofa, and took a sip of tea comfortably.

"The most difficult problem has been solved, which makes me see the dawn of victory."

"Come, let's work hard and think about solutions to other problems."

Sebastian smiled, his eyes flashing with confident light: "Then let's talk about how to prevent prisoners from escaping."

"The first measure is to expand the Auror team and let the Aurors supervise."

"Secondly, if you want to come out to work, prisoners must first sign a strict magical contract. If they are unwilling to sign a magical contract, they will not have the right to come out."

"I believe those guys will make a wise choice."

"Adding a point-to-point travel method, and taking multiple measures, those guys will naturally extinguish the idea of escape."

"That makes sense." Fudge nodded repeatedly, "Then Swan Alchem will have to worry more about the magic contract."

Suddenly his eyes lit up and he asked eagerly, "Sebastian, can those prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment also sign a magic contract?"

"In this way, similar escape incidents like Black can be prevented from happening again."

The idea is a good idea.

However, for this type of prisoner, they have nothing to lose and cannot enjoy the opportunity to leave Azkaban.

It is not easy to make them willingly sign a magic contract, unless it is enforced at the time of sentencing.

Sebastian didn't comment much, just said lightly: "This requires the Minister to discuss with everyone at the Wizengamot meeting before making a decision."

"Let's talk about making the prisoners work hard first."

"You're right," Fudge replied with a smile, "Let's focus on the immediate problem first. What other wonderful ideas do you have?"

Sebastian said confidently, "If you want the prisoners to work hard, you must let them see the benefits."

"I suggest introducing a commutation mechanism."

"To put it bluntly, it is to reasonably reduce the time those prisoners who perform well spend in Azkaban."

"Under this incentive mechanism, they will definitely rush to be the first."

"Of course, what I have proposed today are just some rough ideas. The specific details still need you, Minister, to discuss at the Wizengamot meeting."

"Too modest, Sebastian," Fudge said happily, "It is always the most difficult thing to go from zero to one. With these ideas of yours, I can finalize this matter."

Looking at Fudge's happy appearance, Sebastian grinned.

This wave, it's called win-win.

Fudge has achievements;

Students in the Auror training class are better able to find jobs;

Prisoners can also leave Azkaban as soon as possible;

Swan Alchem can also earn a lot of Galleons;

Everyone has a bright future!

He raised the teacup in his hand and said to Fudge.

"Then let us replace wine with tea and celebrate the smooth cooperation in advance."

"By the way, Minister, I also have something that I need your help with."
