Chapter 329 Special Talent
I have to say that Minister Bones is really courageous and has invested a lot of money.
Not only did she go against all odds and appropriate a large sum of money from the annual budget, she also mobilized the most elite research forces in the British wizarding world.
——Specifically refers to the Unspeakable Man in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic.
When Jian Yu saw several silent people wearing silver robes and with serious expressions standing in front of her, she was completely stunned.
"...I suppose they have top-secret work for the Department of Mysteries?" she asked Minister Bones hesitantly. "Are you sure this is the right arrangement?"
But before Minister Bones could answer, the silent leader spoke first. He was obviously very straightforward:
"No, no one can 'arrange' us. The Department of Mysteries does not need to take orders from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. When necessary, we can ignore the Minister's intervention. We just received the mobilization and thought it was a good project, so we decided to send a few people to join."
Jian Yu noticed that his voice was very flat, as if Al was imitating human speech, and there was not much emotion revealed in the whole sentence.
Although his speech did not sound very polite, Minister Bones was not angry. She said calmly:
"No one would be more suitable to join this project than them. All the people who have studied the most advanced magic in the whole of Britain are here."
The silent man nodded, stretched out his right hand to Jian Yu to shake hands with her, and continued to introduce himself in a seemingly calm voice:
"Sol Crocker, I'm sorry I can't tell you what my job is, but I can assure you that everyone here is the most loyal. We will never reveal any secrets of your project. If you can't trust me, we can make an unbreakable oath."
Although he already knew that Kroc was a straightforward person, Jian Yu was still surprised by such remarks.
The unbreakable oath he made right from the start, does the Silent Man usually play such big games?
But think about their usual research - thinking, prediction, time, death, love...
On a daily basis, he plays with his brain, the future, time travel, life, and emotions. No wonder he starts by swearing that if he breaks his oath, he will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death.
She smiled politely, reached out her hand to shake Crocker's hand, shook it up and down, and asked:
"Let's not talk about the Unbreakable Vow for now, but I want to ask why you were so willing to respond to the call for this project? I thought the research work in the Department of Mysteries would be more attractive to you."
But Kroc shook his head, and didn't seem to mind leaving his main business. He spoke calmly:
"We have a lifetime to study those things. The Department of Mysteries can function without us."
"Besides," he pulled out an internal publication from his robe and waved it in front of Jian Yu, "Although we mostly study the logic and theory of some special magic operations, we also have interests and life ideals outside of work - we have carefully read your past deeds and speeches."
Jian Yu suddenly felt a pain in his toes.
Crocker spread the internal magazine flat on the desk in his office and continued to read in a calm voice:
"The guardian saint sneered and tapped her magic wand. A burst of white light appeared and the enemies screamed and fell to the ground. They prostrated themselves on the ground and bowed their heads. Tears and snot covered their faces. They surrendered under her pressure and did not dare to stand up..."
Classics will last forever, and Jian Yu’s smile disappeared from her face.
Now she finally understood what the throbbing toe meant.
She didn't understand how long she would have to suffer in this Ministry of Magic.
"It's a very interesting fight scene." Crocker commented, his eyes flashing with interest, and his tone finally rose a little. "But I want to know, what kind of spells are 'bursts of white light' and 'causing enemies to fall down with screams'? I guess this is a spell you created. I have been thinking about it for three days and three nights, and I can't sleep because of it. What kind of combination is this? The dazzling white light, is it a spell that has some kind of blinding effect? And there is no damage to the surrounding furniture, does this mean that you have mastered a group spell that directly affects their minds? To act on multiple wizards at the same time, such a range of damage, the roots of your spell must have undergone a lot of changes-"
What on earth was he thinking of?
Jian Yu suddenly felt that he could not understand the silent person in front of him.
"Is there a possibility that it's just an exaggeration in literary works?"
Crocker pursed his lips in disappointment. He didn't seem to believe her and muttered:
"Well... maybe it's because we haven't signed the Unbreakable Vow yet."
This was the first time that Jian Yu experienced the feeling of being chased by an "unbreakable oath", and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
But Crocker was obviously not satisfied with her answer and continued to read the next paragraph:
"...I only felt flashes of white light before my eyes, and all the attacks dissipated behind her. She tapped her fingers lightly, and a group healing spell sprinkled on my whole body like starlight, healing me instantly..."
"It's just like a scene in a game." He continued to comment, his tone rising again. "For this reason, I have used the Cutting Curse on myself more than a dozen times in the past three days, just to experiment with the application of healing spells. I tried to add roots such as 'maxima' to the spell to achieve the grand scenes of 'group healing' and 'bursts of white light' that you achieved, but unfortunately the result was just a proliferation of scars on my wounds. What kind of spell did you create? How do you heal so many people at once? Is this the Great Rejuvenation in the game?"
Jian Yu strongly suspected that the description of the bursts of white light was just the whitening in front of the special envoy's eyes caused by excessive blood loss.
"I just used difficile and multiple rapid healings," she responded. "That's really just hyperbole... You can't take the reports seriously."
Crocker sighed and said seriously:
"This is our first meeting, and I understand that trust between us has not yet been established, so you are not willing to answer. But I will use my efforts to make you willing to make an unbreakable vow with me, and then you will definitely tell me the reason."
Less than twenty minutes into the meeting, three "unbreakable vows" had already been made. Jian Yu felt as if he had a disease that made him want to plug his ears whenever he heard these vows.
But Kroc obviously did not give up.
He carefully took out a game console from his robe and spread it out on the desk.
The reason why it is described as a "stall" is because it has become a stall.
The magic words and parts had been carefully disassembled, but the disassemblers were obviously unable to restore them.
"Please don't get me wrong, I have no intention of stealing patents." He showed a serious face, "but the magic runes and spells used in it are simply amazing, a culmination of all the magic in the world. I have sold my house and my flying broom, and spent all my years of hard work to buy 100 game consoles just to study the essence of the innovation. Unfortunately, I have disassembled 99 of them, but I still haven't fully understood the principles. I think some of the theories may have exceeded my understanding."
This extraordinary type of Internet addiction left Jian Yu dumbfounded.
He sold his house and car and spent all his money just to research a small game console.
She thought that the game consoles she manufactured and sold had nothing to do with pornography, gambling, or drugs!
"There are some Muggle technologies among them. If there is a chance and the situation stabilizes, I can take you to the factory to have a look." She replied, "We can communicate with each other, and I think you can give me many new suggestions for my products. But now, I hope we can focus our energy on the production and research of these wartime magic supplies, instead of cutting ourselves with the Cutting Curse or spending all our money on game consoles."
Crocker finally smiled sincerely for the first time since they met:
"Yes, magic researchers all over the world should unite together! I know that we are the same kind of people, all of us are dedicated to our own research! In the past, many Silent People spent their entire lives studying the underlying logic of magic, but they never had the opportunity to apply them to the creation of new magic or the invention of magic props. You have shown us new possibilities!"
His originally flat and toneless voice became passionate, and he picked up the internal magazine and read:
"I read your speech, and every word is exciting! Innovation! What a beautiful word! Innovation drives development, what a moving word! I know we all have the same ideal, to modernize ancient magic, to build a better future together! Let those magics that are about to be lost and those stagnant magic research start to move and develop! Just like our predecessor Levina Monkstanley, to invent the lighting spell and change this dark world!"
The silent people present applauded in unison, and their serious faces finally showed moved expressions.
Stunned, Jian Yu finally understood the purpose of this group of silent people actively joining this project -
Apply the magical theories they have studied for many years to practice and promote the development of the wizarding world.
"Welcome to join us." She felt relieved and smiled sincerely. "I think your advanced magical attainments can bring many new things. This will be a feat that spans the ages. When past theories and research results are applied to practice and benefit the vast majority of wizards, it will encourage more wizards to participate in research work, turning stagnant water into living water and allowing the wizarding world to enter the next era."
Crocker's eyes were brighter than the stars, and he looked like he was so happy that he was about to faint in the next second.
"So you feel the unbreakable vow..."
As Jian Yu's smile gradually disappeared, he slowly took back his words and changed the subject:
"If that doesn't work, perhaps you'd be willing to sign an autograph for me...?"
As long as he stopped chasing her and made an unbreakable oath, Jian Yu would be willing to sign a hundred names.
