Chapter 313 The Noble Anti-Corruption Investigation Department is established!

"I didn't expect she has come this far."

McGreg was surprised to hear Sprout's intention.

Sprout said excitedly: "Yes, that's the Research Institute Association. We want to apply to join every year, but we are rejected every year.

The reason is that we don't meet the standards for income members, but their standards have never been announced to the public!"

The Research Institute Association not only accepts talents from the British Ministry of Magic, but also talents from other countries' magic ministries, regardless of age.

No matter whether you are a man or a woman, old or young, as long as you know this place, you can write an application letter once a year and send it there.

Unfortunately, almost no one got a response.

After Sprout sent the letter, there was no news at all. Only after McGreg sent it did he receive a reply.

The Research Institute Association regretfully stated that she did not meet the income standards and hoped that she could come up with other more powerful research inventions.

The research inventions here are not just physical research items, some theories, spells, or even just an idea...

As long as you can get the approval of the Research Institute Association, you can become its member.

However, the professors at Hogwarts have a deeper understanding of the Researchers' Association, which is an association that even Dumbledore dared to reject!

McGonagall thought: "With the things that Lin Xia invented, plus her age, she is fully qualified for the association's standards. She is better than we thought."

Sprout asked: "Then I will tell the truth?"

McGonagall thought for a while and said: "Write down my opinion as well. My idea is that if she can join, she must join."

It's amazing to think about it.

The opportunity they had worked so hard to get was placed in front of Lin Xia, but she was hesitant.

However, it was the first time that Lin Xia heard of this association, and it was normal for her to feel confused.

At the same time.

Ollivander also received Lin Xia's reply. When he saw the words "Researchers' Association", he trembled all over!

Lin Xia actually received an invitation from this association!

Then his previous worries would not be a problem at all. With this association, who would bother Lin Xia?

It's good enough not to be bothered by the Researchers' Association in return!

This is an association that even Dumbledore dared to reject!

As for himself, he applies to join the association every year, but he never received a reply in the past few decades.

It was only in recent years that he got the inspiration for making a wand from Lin Xia, and tried to write it down, but he got a reply instead.

The Researchers Association said that his inspiration was very interesting, and hoped that he could realize it as soon as possible, which would be a good stepping stone.

When Ollivander received this reply, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for three days, and kept wiping his proudest work.

What is there to hesitate about? Lin Xia should join in quickly!

After Ollivander finished writing the letter, he wanted the letter to arrive as quickly as possible, so he deliberately chose to let the wizard send the letter.

He Apparated by human power and quickly went to Romania.

In recent days, many wizards who have been to Romania have discovered one thing. Many people asked them about the cost of Apparition to send letters.

These people either want to send the letter to the dragon breeding farm, and they don't give up wanting to know whether the dragon can be a pet.

Or they write to Lin Xia, praising her for her greatness and wishing her to continue to work hard.

This made the wizard who had been to Romania make a small fortune by delivering letters.

As for Lin Xia.

She was surprised to find that she received all the replies the next day.

The first letter to arrive was from Draco.

After deciphering it, all the words Lucius said were conveyed by Draco.

Lin Xia saw from it that the nobles were cautious, vigilant and envious of this organization.

Then came the letter from Dean Sprout.

The Dean said that if Hogwarts was not very busy in the recent enrollment season, she would definitely deliver the letter in person instead of handing it to others.

The Dean said: "Lin Xia, this is an association that McGonagall and I both want to join. It gathers the most cutting-edge witchcraft knowledge and the most cutting-edge inventions.

Not every inventor can get their invitation. McGonagall and I strongly recommend that you join this association!"

The last letter to arrive was from Mr. Ollivander.

Ollivander directly stated that as long as he joined this association, he would no longer worry that Lin Xia would be threatened and persecuted by other organizations, either openly or secretly.

"The Researchers' Association will solve all your difficulties for you. There is a lot of cutting-edge magic knowledge there, and all the people who join are talents from the wizarding world!"

After reading all the replies, Lin Xia had a clear impression of the Researchers' Association.

She pondered and said, "It seems that the association that came to me is an amazing one."

Let alone whether there is powerful and profound magic, Lin Xia admired the courage to refuse Dumbledore without fear of being found out.

Not to mention that there is also very powerful magic knowledge in it, and what she lacks most at the moment is endless knowledge!

Without sufficient knowledge, she cannot continue to deduce her own path.

Even if she doesn't join now, she will definitely join in the future. This is the only way for a wizard to desire knowledge!

After a while, Lin Xia has made a decision.

-

Pun Skoggar has been in a good mood recently, especially when he saw a reply letter on the table, he whistled happily.

There are many skulls in his office, each skull represents a will, and each has a different voice.

Above the skulls, there are many ghost lights of different colors, which also represent a will.

Both skulls and flames have thoughts.

Some of them are transformed from humans, and some are transformed from magical creatures, giant beasts, giant monsters, and even magic plants.

When Pun Skoggar wrote back, these skulls and ghost lights were also communicating with each other.

"The agent of the god of death is so happy. Has he found a new target?"

"I think he has set his eyes on another prey and wants him to abandon his body?"

"As a result of abandoning the body, how many people can escape from his hands? He wants to turn others into him, but no one is him!"

"I feel sorry for that person!"

Suddenly, Pun looked up and glanced at the skulls and flames, and said in a magnetic voice: "So have you studied the topic?"

The skulls and flames stopped talking immediately.

Puen said calmly: "Giving up your body will not affect your thoughts and souls. You promised to be immortal with me and dedicate your life to research, but what happened?

You haven't come up with anything after hundreds of years of research. Is this what you think of as dedication? Even if it's a pig, you should have gained something after a hundred years of research."

After Puen finished speaking, he took the letter and left the office.

The skull and the flame whispered again.

"Capitalists!"

"Vampires!"

"They can only exploit us!"

"Those topics are too difficult. We can't research them at all. If we had such ability, would we turn ourselves into skeletons?"

After sending the letter, Puen went to his laboratory leisurely, humming a strange song, which he created on impulse.

The other wizards were strong and curious, and asked: "Pun, you are in a good mood today!"

"Did something good happen to you?"

"Has your research made progress again?"

Pun grinned, making a "click, click" sound, "There is a good thing, we are about to welcome another partner!"

As soon as this was said, all the wizards looked over.

"Who?"

Just one word, but it shouted out thousands of momentum, as if tens of thousands of people were asking.

Pun: "It's the recent celebrity, Lin Xia."

...

In the Ministry of Magic, which was surrounded by the news of Leng Wan, the Auror Department interrogated a big piece of information.

"Ah!!!"

The goblin was awakened by the cold water.

Some wizards continued to cast the "Heart-breaking Curse" on it, controlling the intensity of the spell, so that it would not hurt him to death, nor would it hurt him to faint, but it would be between the critical point of fainting and not fainting.

Every time he fainted, his body reached its limit and could not bear it.

And every time he woke up, the interrogation time would become longer than before, at least from the goblin's perspective, it was longer each time.

But in fact, it was shorter each time.

The goblin felt that it was long because his body could not bear it more and more.

In the end, after only three days, the goblin could not hold on any longer.

"I'll tell you everything!" The goblin trembled, "Don't use Cruciatus anymore, let me die, send me to death!"

The three Aurors present looked at each other, and the Auror who was punishing him grinned, "It depends on the value you give."

The goblin said slowly, "I was sent by Gringotts to Romania to capture dragons. Gringotts' dragons have always been provided by me.

During my tenure, there were three times when I got dragons through some means, and one of them was stolen from a dragon farm..."

After the goblin finished speaking, he looked at the others eagerly.

One of the Aurors said, "This information is not enough to stop your torture, you should continue--"

The goblin said hoarsely, "I have more, more!"

"Gringotts has helped the nobles launder money!

This money was obtained from the evil god world. They got in touch with that world and obtained some strange objects. They laundered it through Gringotts and circulated it in the wizard world!

Not only that, there are many black magic items, which are also disguised as strange objects and circulated in the market.

Those black magic items have a strong evil god aura. Once contaminated, they will be bewitched by the evil god!

Those nobles artificially created alien species, wanting to cultivate evil species, and then kill the evil species in exchange for crystal cores!

The nobles got the method of using crystal cores in the evil god world. The energy of crystal cores is more powerful than the magic stones in the wizard world..."

As the goblin broke the news one by one, the Aurors' faces became heavier and heavier.

They did not doubt that the goblin was lying. Even if it was really false, at least the news was heard by the goblin.

If what the goblin said was true, then the wizarding world was more severely invaded by the evil world than imagined!

An Auror had already retreated and reported the goblin's news to the director. After listening to it, the director had a grim expression and immediately went to the office of the Minister of Magic.

That night, Dumbledore ordered the establishment of an anti-corruption investigation department.

This department is specifically for investigating the monopoly and corruption of the nobles in the wizarding world. On the surface, it is a department, but in fact it is divided into the light department and the dark department.

The ANBU already has Aurors quietly investigating those nobles, but the Mingbu still needs someone to question the nobles, and this person will face the nobles' wrath directly!

The news reached the Aurors, and the director asked in a deep voice: "Which of you would like to be transferred there?"

The Aurors looked at each other, no one wanted to go there.

Things in the ANBU were conducted very secretly, and only the elite Aurors were assigned this top-secret task, so all that can be said now are matters in the ANBU.

The director emphasized again: "Double salary, triple subsidy, don't any of you want to go?"

The Aurors all shook their heads.

This is obviously muddy water, who wants to join in?

It is not that there are no nobles among Aurors, but it is precisely because of the presence of nobles that we know how difficult this kind of investigation is. The investigation is not just about one noble, but all nobles.

The resistance gained during the investigation was not only brought by the noble under investigation, but also by all the nobles.

Because nobles all know that if one noble is confiscated by the Ministry of Magic, there will be a second, third, fourth...

My lips and teeth are cold!

This noble investigation is not a good job, and even the noble Aurors dare not touch it.

The director frowned. He knew the inside story, but the investigation department must be established on the surface, otherwise the dark department would be discovered sooner or later.

Just when he was about to click on a few unlucky ones, Fudge suddenly walked in from outside.

In the past, the Auror Department was very busy, and everyone had a lot of things to do. Occasionally, those who were idle would not stay in the Auror Department.

So when Fudge walked in, he was a little stunned.

Why is it so quiet today?

Why are there so many people today?

Why are they all looking at me?

The director's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Fudge, didn't you say that the Foreign Affairs Department is not busy, so you want to cooperate with the Auror Department?"

Fudge nodded subconsciously, "Yes."

The director of the Auror Department said: "It just so happens that our Auror Department has something that needs to be handed over to you. You are the director of the Foreign Affairs Department. It is best for you to take the lead in this matter. Someone can help you with the handover. business."

Several Aurors immediately stood up and led Fudge to other places.

Although Fudge didn't know why, he had a smile on his face. As he walked, he turned back and said enthusiastically:

"I will complete the task well. Although I am in the Foreign Affairs Department, I am happy to contribute to the Auror Department."

The director of the Auror Department said with rare enthusiasm: "Thank you Fudge for his contribution to the Auror Department. Let us applaud him and thank him!"

"Bah bang bang!"

The Aurors applauded collectively.

The Auror who brought Fudge was also talking endlessly about the benefits of being sent abroad.

"You are from the Foreign Affairs Department. If you come to work here in the Auror Department, it will not occupy your working time in the Foreign Affairs Department. You only need to handle the work of the Anti-Corruption Investigation Department in your spare time. You will receive three times the work and three subsidies. !”

Fudge nodded repeatedly and was suddenly startled: "Anti-Corruption Investigation Department? Didn't I join the Auror Department?"

"Yes, you came to the Auror Department to help, and then the Auror Department seconded you to the Anti-Corruption Investigation Department, so you jointly received three salaries from the Foreign Affairs Department, the Auror Department, and the Anti-Corruption Investigation Department, as well as three welfare subsidies !”

The Auror said in a proud tone: "Not everyone can join the Anti-Corruption Investigation Department. If you can join, the director of the Auror Department is very optimistic about you!"

Fudge felt something was wrong: "But, what I want to join is the Auror Department, not the Anti-Corruption Investigation Department. What does this department do?"

The Auror took out a document from the cabinet and urged Fudge to sign it quickly.

"This department is a newly established department. It has a lot of power. When you encounter difficulties, you can always mobilize Aurors and make them obey your orders. It's very powerful!"

Fudge signed his name on the transfer papers.

The Auror immediately disappeared in front of Fudge, his words blowing like the wind.

"The specifics of what you are asked to do have been stated in this document. Starting today, the Anti-Corruption Investigation Department will be officially operational!"
