Chapter 318: Uninterrupted Forbidden Book Area
Back in her office, Lin Xia did not immediately start the experiment, but was thinking about what Xilien said.
"Magical creatures have a strong resistance to the evil god's whispers," Lin Xia opened her magic book and wrote this text.
She always felt that this was a very critical piece of information.
She had almost developed the audio version of the talisman, and only needed to perfect the last step, which would not take a day at all.
But now there was still a week before the start of school. Lin Xia thought about it and decided to leave the Researchers Association immediately after the experiment was completed and go out to hide.
After this idea came up, the nervousness in her heart was swept away. Eastern sorcerers believed in metaphysics and emphasized that one thought could be understood.
So Lin Xia thought metaphysically that this approach was the best approach.
Now that it has been determined, the rest of the days cannot be wasted.
She temporarily stopped the experiment and decided to spend all the remaining time exploring the Researchers Association.
The first stop was to use her permission to read banned books and read banned books in the association.
The Researchers Association can also use the Hogwarts Outstanding Student Key. After submitting an application to read the banned book, Lin Xia quickly received a reply that she was approved.
Because she is young and still a student, every time she applies to read the banned book, she can get relevant pollution-free items subsidies, such as "Leaves of Sobriety".
In Romania, every time Lin Xia enters the banned book area, she will receive a "Newbie Gift Pack to Resist the Evil God's Whisper" sent by an owl.
Maybe things related to the evil god's whisper are handled more favorably. Lin Xia's application is basically approved on the same day, and she can receive a package sent by the owl postman the next day.
But this time in the Researchers Association, Lin Xia still didn't receive anything the day after the application was approved.
This made her a little confused.
She thought for a while, and then logged into the Alchemist Association's Key again, and posted a post for help.
There are still too few outstanding students in Hogwarts, and they are limited to the school. Once they graduate, the key will be taken back.
Students have limited channels to contact, and they are not as wide as the Alchemist Association's sources of information.
[Mysterious person A: Help, I applied for reading banned books in the Researchers Association. I used to get some subsidies when I applied, and they were usually delivered the next day. Why haven't I received any in the association? ]
Alchemy apprentice Xiao Murphy: [Researchers Association... Boss, are you kidding? How can an owl get in there? ? ]
Grand Alchemist Li Luo: [Do you have any misunderstandings about the abilities of owls? ]
I want to become a Grand Alchemist Shan Yin Wu Chuan: [Are you a formal member of the Researchers Association? Recently, it is said that the association has added a new member, and he is a very talented young man and an outstanding student at Hogwarts.
The subsidy for reading banned books you mentioned is only for underage students. Since you can get the subsidy and you are in the Researchers Association, haha, you are not Lin Xia himself, right?
If you are Lin Xia, I am willing to answer your questions. First, owls cannot enter the Researchers Association and cannot be delivered at all. They do not accept any express delivery.
Second, in the Researchers Association, there is no need to use the strange objects that block the evil god's whispers. If you really enter the forbidden book area there, you will know.]
There are some messages from members of the Alchemist Association with strange names, but the statements are similar to the previous ones. Some people don't even know the Researchers Association.
Lin Xia thought of Xi Lien's special reminder to her to go to the forbidden book area.
So, is the forbidden book area of the Researchers Association really very different?
With this idea in mind, Lin Xia followed the guidance of the secret key that afternoon and came to the entrance of the forbidden book area of the Researchers Association.
The entrance is also a door.
This door has various spiral patterns, which are combined into patterns. When she looks at the door, the patterns on the door seem to rotate with it.
In addition, the door exudes a simple and old atmosphere.
Lin Xia has seen many doors before, but she has no impression of this door.
Obviously, this door is usually hidden, and it will only appear in front of the researcher after obtaining the permission to unlock it.
Lin Xia walked in calmly.
After she entered the forbidden book area, Puen, who was doing research in his own laboratory, received some kind of reminder and immediately raised his head.
"She went in." Puen said to the empty air.
One after another, will-o'-the-wisp fire emerged from the air, each flashing a different color of light, each representing a will and possessing a different soul.
These ghost lights either laughed, watched or said happily:
"Is it a pity? You wanted her to keep doing experiments, but you didn't expect her experiments to end so quickly and she started to explore the secrets of the Researchers Association."
"After entering the forbidden book area and learning how powerful the Researchers Association is, I'm afraid she will be even more reluctant to leave."
"The more you know, the less likely you are to be tempted, Skeleton Puen, your wishful thinking is going to fail, hahaha!"
Puen turned the page calmly, "Although it's a pity that she can't come to study my topic, the Researchers Association will also add a powerful general, and I can't be happy enough."
If Lin Xia joins, her completely resistant physique... his experiment will definitely make great progress, maybe it can be completed this year!
What a pity.
Puen thought with regret.

In the forbidden book area.
Lin Xia had another feeling.
What comes into view are rows of bookshelves. The gap in the middle aisle is very small, only one person can pass through, as if the decorator is trying to carve out more space to put more books.
There are rows of books even on the walls, ceiling, and occasionally on the ground where you walk.
There were various scents of books lingering on the tip of her nose, which was something Lin Xia often smelled when visiting old-fashioned bookstores.
Lin Xia looked at it silently for a moment, then took a tentative step.
After making sure there was no danger, she started looking for books, but she kept a sense of caution.
This forbidden book area is so abnormal!
She has been to many forbidden book areas, but only this one feels normal. They are all books, and the books have not transformed into anything else.
However, this kind of normality is an abnormality if it is placed in the restricted book area.
Lin Xia was vigilant and quietly ran "Nine Heavens Xuanyang Secret Record·The Furnace", and soon it had weak connections with many banned books.
She gradually moved towards the books that attracted her most, but stopped midway.
"This book..."
Lin Xia stared at the book with the stars and moon pattern in front of her, suddenly stopped and remained silent for a long time.
This book also attracted her, but it was not the most valuable in this forbidden book area, nor was it the most consistent with her soul.
And judging from the cover, this should be a book about the magic text array.
Based on her experience in entering and exiting forbidden book areas, and under the guidance of the exercises, the most suitable and valuable forbidden books that can attract her are the ones that attract her.
only……
Lin Xia suddenly thought of something.
Would it be a good thing to find the most valuable banned book in the Researchers Association?
Until now, she has not sensed any whispers from the evil god. The forbidden book area here seems to have been purified by some kind of power.
In Hogwarts, even in a chaotic place like the Restricted Book Area, Professor McGonagall and the Dean can see her actions inside through the crystal ball.
Then in the Researchers Association, I'm afraid some people can do the same.
Thinking like this, Lin Xia did not go any further, but picked up the forbidden book in front of her and started reading.
same moment.
Through some means, some researchers who were secretly observing Lin Xia invariably withdrew their gaze from the crystal ball.
"I have read this forbidden book. It is just a very ordinary book about magic texts and ancient magic words."
"I thought this witch had some hidden secrets, but this is what happened?"
"That's not right... She should be able to find books of greater value in the forbidden book area. I feel an unusual aura from her."
One of the researchers rolled his eyes, "Come on, who doesn't know that your group's predictions are the most unreliable, and your intuition only guesses right once out of ten times, so this time it must be wrong!"
This group of researchers had been observing Lin Xia since she left the office, trying to see what was different about her.
But even after entering the forbidden book area, Lin Xia still performed very averagely, which disappointed the other researchers.
I thought I could find a secret, but it turned out that the secret itself was ordinary.
"Forget it, just observe silently. I'll leave first. There's still an experiment waiting for me to do."
"Me too, let's go first!"
"Pun, what do you think?"
Suddenly, a researcher who also wanted to leave turned his head and glanced at the skeleton Pu En. Pu En was carefully observing Lin Xia in the crystal ball and said without raising his head:
"I'm staying."
The researcher was a little surprised: "Do you really want to get Lin Xia to work for you?"
Pu En's magnetic voice sounded: "She is very talented. If she can't help me work, I hope she can grow up as soon as possible so that she can communicate with me."
The researcher thought about it and sat back down.
"Then let me watch it together. After all, rather than having one more helper, I would rather have one more person like us."
Their value is far beyond that of ordinary helpers.
-
same moment.
Fudge from the Ministry of Magic also took action again.
Since the nobles did not come over on their own initiative, Fudge decided to take the initiative and visit them one by one to inquire!
There has been nothing to do in the Foreign Affairs Department, and he can't get involved in the affairs of the Auror Department.
Fudge looked around and found that only the Noble Anti-Corruption Investigation Department could improve his performance.
Therefore, he attached great importance to this operation and specifically applied to the Aurors for three Auror experts to protect his safety.
If the noble used some dirty tricks to frame him, the noble would not be so bold with the Auror around.
When the director of the Auror Department saw an application on his desk, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and found an Auror to ask:
"You have been secretly observing Fudge recently. Is he doing good things?"
The Auror said: "Yes, and he has come up with a lot of twists and turns, and also contributed some reform ideas. He seems to understand his mission very well, and goes all out to provoke the nobles."
The director pondered for a while, "We are going to a noble's territory tomorrow, how can three Aurors be enough?
In this way, I will give him 10 to save his face and let others know that our Auror Department is really going to investigate this matter thoroughly. "
Not knowing what he thought of, he sighed: "Last year, the Auror Department would not have been so busy. This year, supernatural phenomena have appeared all over the UK. The major powers are all new phenomena. Everything that has never been heard of before has appeared. come out."
His secretary couldn't help nodding.
"Yes, in the past, half of the Aurors in the Auror Department would be left in the office when they went out on missions, but this year, there are basically few people. Everyone is busy."
The director's expression became serious, and he said solemnly: "It's time to propose the 'Auror Recruitment' plan to the Minister. The current staff of the Auror Department is not enough to deal with two large risks at the same time."
Fudge rubbed his hands excitedly after receiving the director's reply.
He immediately said to Umbridge: "I applied to the director for three Aurors, but the director directly assigned me 10. Does he value me very much?"
Umbridge was wearing pink clothes, carrying a pink backpack, and even her wand was inlaid with a pink rhinestone.
She praised loudly without thinking: "Yes, they value you so that they will assign you more people! If this matter is handled well, you will definitely be transferred to the Auror Department!"
Fudge was sure in his heart.
After coming to the Foreign Affairs Department, he missed the days when he was in the Weapons and Logistics Support Department.
But a logistics department is far inferior to the Auror Department, which is the most powerful and violent law enforcement agency in the Ministry of Magic!
If you can get a high position in the Auror Department, then you can change the weapon supplier with just a word.
Fudge became more and more excited as he thought about it.
Only Umbridge felt a little uneasy.
She thought: The Auror Department has always been short of staff. Before, the Foreign Affairs Department wanted to go to a particularly dangerous place to solicit sponsorship, and applied for the help of the Auror Department, but they ignored it.
This time, not only was there no delay, but 10 more people were added...
Could it be that even the Auror Department thought that Fudge would encounter danger on this trip, so so many people were needed to calm the situation?
Umbridge shuddered and did not dare to think about it further.
The next day, the weather was clear.
Facing the scorching sun, Fudge came to a noble manor and rang his doorbell.
Behind him, 10 Aurors in uniform uniforms stood solemnly behind him, with their wands on their waists, and they could pick up their weapons with just a flick of their hands.
Against the backdrop of the Aurors' momentum, everyone's face was filled with a murderous look.
They didn't look like they were here to ask questions, but rather to pick up trouble!
The noble thought about it and didn't dare to leave Fudge out, so he asked the house elf to open the door.
The door was opened, and Fudge noticed that the side of the door facing the outside was just an ordinary style, but the materials used on the side facing the inside were all gold, gems, and mithril!
This made Fudge very jealous.
He walked in, turned around, and found that Umbridge and the Aurors had not entered.
Fudge raised his head at them, motioning them to follow.
Umbridge hesitated for a moment, followed in, but the ten Aurors still stood there motionless.
One of the Aurors said, "We are only responsible for your safety, not your investigation. You have to conduct the investigation alone."
Fudge's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Who knows if these nobles will not beat me up during the interrogation? How are you going to protect me?"
The Auror who spoke first grinned and said, "It's just a minor fight, you can handle it yourself. If you are really seriously injured or killed by a noble-"
The Auror sneered, "This noble doesn't need to continue!"
