Chapter 1208

For Solim, it wasn't too difficult to help Scrimgeour get this done, he just had to talk to his family. They are the ruling class, and this kind of inconsequential thing is really a matter of words.

But Solim couldn't agree to Scrimgeour so easily, the Ministry of Magic had to give something in return, and that was the rule of the deal.

But the question is, what can the Ministry of Magic give him in return?

Money?

This kind of thing is basically dispensable to Solim, Selwyn. He himself had a lot of Galleons in the secret room of Gringotts. As long as it's not a large-scale purchase of magic materials or an in-depth study of alchemy, Solim~'s money is completely sufficient.

Power?

The Ministry of Magic itself has been given power, they have never had real power, and then again, Solim cannot hold any position in the Ministry of Magic, not even the head of a department. As a member of Selwyn, Solim was inherently insulated from the Ministry of Magic.

As for the beauties that are often used to entrap others in the communication of ordinary people at the top level of society, it is even more ridiculous. Wizards never play this set.

When the usual exchange of money, power, and beautiful women is useless to Solim, the Ministry of Magic is extremely limited.

"Agents. Scrimgeour said without hesitation, "You can choose an agent in the Ministry of Magic, or arrange a new person, who can be the head of any department except me, the minister." "

"As long as it's not an act that endangers the Ministry of Magic, I promise no one will have an opinion. "

Hermione shook her head sharply and looked at her minister in some shock, while Percy was much more calm, apparently knowing what Scrimgeour was going to do.

"Interesting......" Solim looked at Scrimgeour with a serious face, and then at Hermione, who was the opposite of him.

There are eight directors of the Ministry of Magic...... Well, if you count the soon-to-be-formed Department of Muggle Cooperation, that's nine. These nine men were the most powerful officials outside of the Minister of Magic...... At least most of the time. After all, the functions of the Department of Physical Education and Physical Education are really ...... Uh, not very magical.

Scrimgeour was able to offer a bribe with the authority of a division, and to be honest, Solim was a little surprised.

If Solim really agreed, even if Scrimgeour asked for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, then it means that the Auror Department will also be under his control in the future, Solim doesn't think Scrimgeour will be so generous, this is the armed force of the Ministry of Magic, and it will definitely not fall into the hands of outsiders.

"Any division?" said Solim, looking at him suspiciously.

"Any one. Scrimgeour replied in no uncertain terms.

"Including the Law Enforcement Division?" Solim narrowed his eyes.

"Including the Legal Enforcement Division. "

"Interesting. Touching his chin, Solim suddenly thought of a division that was often overlooked.

"That'...... What about the Department of Mysteries?"

Scrimgeour opened his mouth, and his unwavering momentum suddenly became sluggish.

"Department of Mysteries...... I can't control them. Scrimgeur's eyes were a little uncertain, "I've been in office for so long, and I don't even know who their director is. As you should know, the Department of Mysteries is only nominally affiliated with the Ministry of Magic, and in reality we have no influence over them at all. "

"That's right, even their research funding and staff salaries are not the responsibility of the ministry. Percy saw that his minister was a little deflated, and hurried to help explain.

"No policy or resolution of the Ministry of Magic will involve the Department of Mysteries, and they never go through the Ministry of Magic when they recruit new employees. They will only report to the minister's office when they have new employees, and all we can do is pay them. "

The Department of Mysteries, the lowest level of the Ministry of Magic, isn't really much mysterious. At least a lot of the Ministry of Magic staff know some of it.

The rotunda on the lowest floor, which you can see as soon as you exit the elevator, and the black doors that are identical on all twelve sides, with no markings and no handles.

That's the end of what most people know about the Department of Occult Affairs. But Solim was different, he knew better.

The Hall of Brain, the Hall of Death, the Hall of Time, the Hall of Prophecy, the Planetary Room, the staff office, and a locked door...... But this can only correspond to seven of them, you know, there are twelve doors there, and what are the other five inside?

If Solim still has any interest in this wizarding world, which has been seriously out of shape and out of its original trajectory, it can only be some unexplained secrets in the original book.

The Department of Mysteries would obviously be one of them.

Aside from the five unknown doors, Solim was most interested in the veiled stone door in the Hall of Death. If he wasn't mistaken, the stone door representing death was probably related to the Deathly Hallows.

It's a hidden plot, and it's impossible for Solim not to be interested.

So he immediately said to Scrimthour: "I can help with this, I can even guarantee that no one will come to you for trouble, but I need you to promise me one thing." "

Scrimgeour's chest heaved. Although he can still hold his breath, the thought that the biggest problem that plagues the Ministry of Magic is about to be solved makes it a little difficult to control himself.

"As long as I can have the final say and don't endanger the Ministry of Magic, I can agree. "

"I want free access to the Ministry of Magic. "

Solim made a detour and didn't directly target the Department of Mysteries.

The Ministry of Magic is an official agency, and it doesn't mean that you can just wander around and go wherever you want.

Like the father of the twins - Arthur. Weasley. As head of an office under the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the first department of the Ministry of Magic, he can only operate in areas that are relevant to his work. For example, the Reversal of Contingency teams, such as the Amnestics Command Command, have them support some of their own work. But for places that have nothing to do with his work, he generally can't go.

Don't underestimate the security personnel within the Ministry of Magic, they may not know the positions and appearances of all the employees of the Ministry of Magic, but they still know whether they belong to their own jurisdiction.

As soon as someone from the Sports Division ran to the Magical Accident Disaster Division on the third floor, he would be stopped and questioned, and if he didn't have a valid reason, he would be driven back to the elevator.

Not many people have the privilege to move around the Ministry of Magic. This authority is essentially vested only in the Minister and his office secretary, as well as a few directors. If Solim could get this power, he would be able to go up and down the elevator at will, and even if he stopped at the Department of Mysteries on the ninth floor, no one would say anything.

"Deal!"

After a brief thought, Scrimgeour immediately agreed to Solim and asked Percy to write it down in a memo that he would sign it as soon as he returned to the Ministry of Magic.

Solim wants to come to the Ministry of Magic? Scrimgeour wants him to do so, even if he might have some personal goals? As long as Solim isn't unleashing fire within the Ministry, Scrimgeour won't care.
