#172 - Ministry of Magic

After listening to Anduin recount the battle, Moody had no doubt that Anduin could defeat these Death Eaters. On the contrary, he was now more interested in Anduin's excellent equipment.

After rebuking his subordinates, Moody said, "What are you still standing there for? Quickly guard the prisoners and seal off the scene! Can't you see the mess here? Immediately set up Muggle repelling charms and shielding charms around the perimeter, and wait for the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad to come and handle it!"

Many Aurors had just been called out of bed. After arriving at the scene, they didn't understand the situation for a while. Now, after being yelled at by Moody, they instantly woke up. They then expertly cast spells around the perimeter, and soon a barrier composed of a combination of repelling charms and shielding charms enveloped the area.

In terms of combat will and professional competence, these Aurors are quite reliable. Anduin watched the crowd busy beside him, and he had a basic judgment of them in his heart.

"Anduin, I'll send you to the magical hospital to have a look first. After all, you've just experienced a great battle. It's best to have a check-up, and you also need to rest. Don't worry, we'll take care of the medical expenses." After Moody roared at his men, he looked at Anduin with a ferocious expression, then spoke to him in a gentle tone.

In any case, Moody could unexpectedly lead others by several streets in scaring people.

Anduin controlled his emotions and shook his head, saying, "It's okay, Moody. I understand my current situation very well. Have you forgotten that I'm an alchemist? I also have a set of props that can self-diagnose."

Then, he took out a pocket watch, turned it to the back of the dial, and gently pressed a switch. The back flipped open another cover, revealing four 90° fan-shaped screens divided by a cross. Each screen displayed four colors: red, yellow, blue, and green. There were also many concentric scale rings from the inside to the outside.

"Red at full scale proves that there is no blood loss and the muscles are intact. Yellow at full scale proves that there is no bone damage. Blue at full scale proves that the body temperature is normal and there is no water loss. Green at full scale proves that there are no symptoms of poisoning," Anduin explained to Moody in detail.

"Good heavens, how many good things can you still pull out of your body? Are you going to sell this thing in the future?" Moody now looked at Anduin with admiration and sighed.

"This prop is actually not stable. A shielding charm or a confusion charm can deceive it. I'm just playing around. If there is a market, I don't mind mass production and sale." Anduin shrugged.

"Haha, if you want to sell it, remember to save one for me. I always get confused about whether I've lost a bone in my body." Moody told a scary joke.

After a while, the wizards from the 'Accidental Magic Reversal Squad' also arrived one after another. After understanding the situation at the scene, these wizards couldn't help but take a few more glances at Anduin. After all, cases of arresting five Death Eaters at once are rare.

Then, these wizards quickly took over the scene. Those responsible for restoring the site began to restore the site, and those responsible for memory erasure began to search for the offending Muggles in the surrounding area. After the Aurors handed over the scene, they gathered around Moody again.

"Since you don't want to go to the hospital, then come back to the Ministry of Magic with me. We also need to take a statement about what happened and compile it into a report. Moreover, you have made a great contribution this time. Minister Bagnold may also want to see you." Moody saw that the scene had been handed over, so he prepared to take the prisoners back to the Ministry of Magic, and at the same time suggested to Anduin.

"Okay." Anduin responded, as if thinking of something, took out the wands he had seized in advance and handed them to Moody. At the same time, he leaned to Moody's ear and whispered a few words, then pointed to Torkil lying on the ground.

Moody raised his eyebrows after hearing Anduin's words, then rolled his eyes and smiled, "That makes sense. Don't worry, I will keep a close eye on this guy and ensure that they don't find a chance to contact him. This time, we can finally seize the opportunity to wipe out the Travers family in one fell swoop."

"Okay, squad, move out! A few of you are responsible for escorting the prisoners. After taking them back to the Ministry of Magic, imprison them separately. Without my order, no one is allowed to visit, including the ministers of each department." Moody calmly directed the crowd at the scene, then turned his head to look at Anduin, "Be careful to support me, let's go back to the Ministry of Magic."

"As you wish." Anduin smiled and supported Moody's shoulder, and then Apparated with Moody and a group of Aurors, disappearing from the scene.

Anduin only felt a change of scenery, and what appeared in front of him was a long, magnificent hall. The floor was dark wood that had been polished brightly, and the peacock-blue ceiling was inlaid with glittering golden symbols. These symbols were constantly moving and changing, like a huge high-altitude bulletin board, and the two sides of the hall were inlaid with many gilded fireplaces.

In the center of the hall was a fountain, on which stood a group of pure gold statues, including male and female wizards, centaurs, goblins, and house elves, and water spouted from different parts of the sculptures.

At this time, because of Moody's notification, many Ministry of Magic employees walked out of the fireplace on the left one after another. The appearance of Anduin and a group of Aurors instantly attracted their attention, especially when they saw the Death Eaters being held up, they couldn't help but exclaim.

The Aurors responsible for custody looked indifferent, looking ahead, as if ignoring the admiration of the onlookers, but their constantly protruding chests and slightly raised chins revealed the pride in these guys' hearts at this time, making it seem as if they had caught these prisoners.

"Move faster, what are you pretending for? What does the capture of these Death Eaters have to do with you?" Moody was very unceremonious and drove away the Aurors violently.

After being yelled at by him, the Aurors couldn't help but lower their heads in embarrassment, and then they didn't dare to delay, quickly dragging the Death Eaters forward.

The surrounding wizards couldn't help but become more curious when they saw this scene. Five Death Eaters were arrested. This was a big battle. It wasn't even done by the Aurors. Who could it be? Could it be Moody?

The onlookers whispered excitedly and kept peeking in the crowd. Many people also noticed the out-of-place Anduin, but no one suspected him.

After Moody reprimanded the Aurors, he turned to Anduin and explained the Ministry of Magic, "This should be your first time at the Ministry of Magic. This is the reception hall of the Ministry of Magic. After passing the security check counter in front, you can't use Apparition, so we have to walk the rest of the way."
