Chapter 400 The Alchemy Room of the Ministry of Magic
At the scene, Anduin got Minister Budnor's consent, and promised to arrange for him to go to Azkaban in a week, and then the three left the minister's office together. They still had business to do.
The Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, this is the department within the Ministry of Magic responsible for monitoring the situation in the British magic world. All kinds of monitoring circles are engraved here. Wherever there is a spellcasting behavior in the UK, it will be detected by the magic circle here. Of course, it can only detect As far as the location of the spell and its general strength, it is impossible to determine the individual, and it is also responsible for monitoring 'Zongsi' and supervising minors' spell-casting behavior.
At the same time, the employees in this department are the busiest group besides the Aurors. They have to deal with major accidents and disasters caused by magic.
As for the seriousness, in fact, big and small accidents have to bother them, but basically they are all aftermath actions, all kinds of memory cancellation, driving Muggles, restoring the scene, etc. They are often teased by Moody and other Aurors as 'clean Doffer' is a department responsible for cleaning the ground.
Although in the eyes of many Aurors, the work in this department does not seem to be as important as their positions that require life and death, but in Anduin's eyes, this is actually a very valuable department with high gold content.
He thought that the functions of police dispatching and firefighting were integrated here, but the Ministry of Magic's development was not in place. It was like a department in charge of danger warning and dispatching, but it was only a marginal post affiliated to the 'Reversal of Accidental Magical Events Team'.
Usually, a person is assigned to be on duty, or it is not called on duty at all. To put it bluntly, it is to ask a wizard who is not out of the field to watch temporarily, and his main responsibility is to prevent the monitoring circle from malfunctioning, and more to save costs.
In Anduin's eyes, this was nothing short of reckless, because when he saw the alchemy room with the monitoring circle, accompanied by Minister Budnor, Amelia, and Fudge, the director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, Anduin Du Yin knew that this Nima must be the most valuable room on the third basement floor.
The entire alchemy room looked very simple. The ground and surrounding walls seemed to be made of natural unpolished dark marble. It was a circular room roughly larger than a basketball court.
Around the center of the room, there are layers of short steps going up step by step. In the center stands a black pillar as thick as two people hugging each other. It is difficult to identify what material it is made of from a distance.
And this pillar is connected to the ground, straight into the ten-meter-high ceiling, anduin can clearly see that the pillar is more than ten meters long, because it is completely different from the color of the ceiling, obviously it lead to higher places.
This big pillar, connected to the raised ground on the ground, looks like an enlarged version of the suona in the room from a distance, or is it like a toilet stick?
Anduin shook his cranky head, then ignored the surrounding senior officials of the Ministry of Magic, and slowly squatted down, gently stroking the ground with his hands, looking at him, as if he was stroking the body of some beautiful girl generally.
In the eyes of ordinary wizards and wizards, this may be just a stone house with a broken pillar in the middle, but in Anduin's eyes, this room is simply more charming than the carved beams and paintings of the main hall of the Ministry of Magic.
In his perception, he can clearly perceive that a faint wave of magic will slowly gather from the floor and the wall, and then gather on the pillar along the strangely shaped circular staircase, and then shoot straight out ceiling.
"Absorbed and stored the remaining magic power in the Ministry of Magic, and then turned it into a detection spell after passing through the complex runes on the ground. The pillar where the spell was finally poured into should be an amplifier, allowing the spell to cover the entire UK." The key, so this entire alchemy room, including the ground and walls, is part of the magic circle?"
Anduin rubbed the ground, muttering to himself, then his eyes lit up as if he had discovered something, and then he immediately took out the magnifying glass that he carried with him, and quietly observed the floor.
"What...the materials used to engrave runes on the ground are all 'fairy Ulim steel'? This is too extravagant, but Ulim steel is not the magic material with the best magic properties? No, this is not just Ulim steel, it should also be mixed with mithril! And depending on the reaction of the magic circulation, it may even be refined mithril!"
Anduin was only shocked by the complex design of the rune circle and magic circle here at first, but after careful inspection, he found that what is more eye-catching is the material used to construct the magic circle, which is really extravagant.
He made a rough calculation. Based on the density of runes inscribed here, if the entire floor and wall, excluding the pillars in the middle, would cost at least 20 pounds of Ulim steel and 5 pounds of refined mithril. The two materials are the only top-grade magic metals that Anduin can't buy with money so far, and the materials used in the magic circle alone are worth more than his entire net worth!
Seeing this scene, Anduin couldn't help swallowing. He really wanted to sneak off the ground and take it away. He guessed that the three big guys behind him might not be able to find out.
But soon, he still pressed his impulse, it was really not worth the risk for this kind of thing.
But Anduin soon realized the value of the room in front of him, and why he had to use such luxurious materials to make the magic circle.
The main purpose of using Ulim steel is to maintain long-term durability, which can support the magic circle to be open 24 hours a year without any failure. Much magic.
In this way, relying on the stored magic power, the overflowing magic power in the Ministry of Magic can maintain the continuous operation of the magic circle. It is simply energy-saving and environmentally friendly, but it is a bit too expensive.
However, while Anduin was admiring the magic circle, the three senior officials of the Ministry of Magic looked at each other inexplicably.
Why did Anduin lie on the ground as soon as he entered the door?Is the alchemist you found reliable?Fudge cast a questioning glance at Secretary Budnau.
After receiving Fudge's questioning look, Minister Budnor couldn't hold back, so he took the initiative to ask, "Anduin, did you find anything? Can you start the inspection of the magic circle?"
When Anduin was interrupted by Budnor's voice, he interrupted his research, got up and wiped the drool on his mouth, and looked at a few people with some doubts, "I'm checking the magic circle, what's the problem? "
"But isn't our division's monitoring circle there?" Fudge pointed to the big pillar in the center of the room and said.
