#405 - Target, Azkaban (asking for monthly ticket recommendation ticket)
γSilently repeat the website three times. Did you remember it? If not, I'll ask again in the next chapter. It would be best to help me share it on Facebookγ
So this alchemy room is a great treasure to Anduin. He often spends the whole day and night inside, either lying on the ground or leaning against the wall, observing the magic patterns on the rune array inch by inch.
However, this exhausted the two Ministry of Magic employees who came to supervise him. In their eyes, Anduin was being too dedicated. Why didn't this person ever rest? He had to stay up until midnight to stop working.
But also because of the two people's reports, Minister Bardoe and other senior executives trusted Anduin even more.

On the fifth day of Anduin's alchemy room overhaul, the Portkey detection device finally returned to normal. After restarting, as long as someone in the UK used a Portkey, it could be detected by the magic circle.
However, after repairing this part, Anduin also understood why the Ministry of Magic had kept this function turned off for many years, because monitoring Portkeys consumed so much magic power that it was comparable to the energy consumption of the magic power monitoring function.
This is equivalent to doubling the energy consumption of the alchemy room in an instant.
Moreover, when studying the magic circle, Anduin also discovered that in addition to monitoring Portkeys, this alchemy room can actually monitor Apparition!
Of course, if this function is also turned on, the energy consumption will not only double, but it is estimated that it will take several times more magic power to support it, and the Ministry of Magic's current magic power reserves will definitely not be able to support it for a long time.
Under the pretext of overhauling the magic circle, Anduin also took the opportunity to enter the Ministry of Magic's [Magic Power Storage Room] for a simple observation and study.
This place is located in the core area of the Ministry of Magic, and golems and Aurors are arranged to guard the entrance and inside. When he entered, he was warned that he could only look and not perform any form of spellcasting, otherwise he would be regarded as an enemy by the guards.
However, he himself just wanted to observe, so he just took a magnifying glass and briefly checked it.
Fortunately, the structure of the Ministry of Magic's 'magic power source' is not complicated, but its importance is relatively high, so it is so valued.
During the observation, Anduin discovered that the source of magic power in the Ministry of Magic is similar to Hogwarts, which is to absorb and store the overflowing magic energy.
Usually, the wizards of various departments cast spells and live in the Ministry of Magic, the Aurors perform magic exercises and training, and even the magical animals or magic props raised when moving through Apparition or Floo Network will have excess magic power overflow.
The magic circle connecting the entire Ministry of Magic will absorb and store these magic powers for his use.
In fact, the magic power that can be absorbed and stored every day is very amazing. Basically, in addition to supplying the consumption in the ministry, there is still a lot of surplus.
In fact, Anduin had foreseen this, because the energy storage principle in Hogwarts is similar to that of the Ministry of Magic, and the school relies on hundreds of little kids every year, and even has several months of vacation, and the magic power is enough to support it.
The magic power that hundreds of adult wizards can produce in the Ministry of Magic every day is even more amazing.
However, in order to study the magic power consumption in the Ministry of Magic, Anduin also spent time recording the magic power outflow.
He found that the consumption on each floor from the first basement floor to the tenth floor of the Ministry of Magic is different. Among them, the first and second basement floors and the tenth floor consume the least energy.
This is not surprising. After all, the first two are the Minister's Office and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and the tenth floor is the courtroom, where there are usually not many people.
The place with the highest energy consumption is not the 'Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes' or the 'Department of Magical Transportation' as he imagined, but the Department of Mysteries on the ninth basement floor.
Its energy consumption accounts for almost one-third of the entire Ministry of Magic's daily consumption of magic power, and it is also the place with the highest daily output of magic power.
This discovery surprised Anduin very much. He had heard of this mysterious department. The security level there is extremely high. Even Moody knows very little about it. He only knows that the keepers there are a group of Unspeakables. They never talk to others.
The discovery in the Magic Power Storage Room aroused Anduin's interest in the Department of Mysteries, but that place is of great significance to the Ministry of Magic. Although he is very curious, he does not want to risk offending the Ministry of Magic to investigate.
In this regard, he can only suppress his curiosity for now and prepare to see if there will be an opportunity to study the Department of Mysteries in the future.
At the same time, just after Anduin finished the research and maintenance of the alchemy room, Minister Bardoe found him.
It was his trip to Azkaban that was approved.
"Anduin, the two observing employees gave a very high evaluation of your overhaul work in the alchemy room. I didn't even have time to thank you," Bardoe, who found Anduin, said to him happily.
Very high evaluation? I think they didn't understand anything, so they can only brag in front of you, Anduin laughed secretly in his heart, but looked at Bardoe with a very humble expression.
"This is all I should do. I have given them the daily maintenance method of the alchemy room. I think you have also received it here. As long as the current alchemy room is properly maintained, it can maintain normal operation for at least a hundred years."
"It would be great if it could really be done to that extent." Minister Bardoe nodded in satisfaction when he heard this, and then looked at him with a serious face,
"Next, you follow me closely. Although your application to go to Azkaban has been approved, I still have to accompany you throughout the entire process, including the entire process of you meeting Sirius. I have to keep an eye on it. Of course, I won't interrupt you. I hope you can understand."
"This is all as it should be, but when we meet, you'd better hide yourself with a Disillusionment Charm. I'm not sure whether Sirius will remain silent when others are present," Anduin nodded in response.
"No problem," Bardoe agreed, after all, she and Anduin were mainly trying to pry open Sirius Black's mouth this time, regardless of whether the other party was innocent.
"By the way, do you know the 'Patronus Charm'? Azkaban is not a safe place. Dementors don't care whether you are a criminal or not." Bardoe, who had already brought Anduin to the main hall of the Ministry of Magic, turned his head and looked at him.
"Don't worry, although I'm not particularly proficient, it's not a problem to cast it normally." For the Patronus Charm, Anduin can only achieve proficiency at present, and he can't use the upgraded version of the Patronus messenger, but it's not a problem to resist Dementors.
"Hehe, even the Aurors in the ministry can't cast the Patronus Charm normally. You are too humble. Sometimes I really envy Dumbledore for having such an excellent student as you. Are you really not considering entering the Ministry of Magic directly after graduation? I am willing to promote you to be my assistant, and even if you enter the Auror Command, I can promise you a captain's position."
Minister Bardoe looked at Anduin with admiration on her face. Obviously, this was not the first time she had made such a suggestion.
γDo you remember me asking you to silently repeat it three times at the beginning of the chapter? Sharing on Facebook may have surprisesγ
