Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

"What?" Fudge shuddered upon hearing this, and even broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead from Andover's words. "What should we do? Does this mean that this part of the rune circuit is completely broken? Will it affect the main detection array?"

Minister Bardoe and Amelia also looked at Andover with some nervousness. Although this alchemy room is usually useless, it is the key to the Ministry of Magic's monitoring of the country at critical moments. If it is really broken, and the news spreads, there may even be security problems.

"Fortunately, it was discovered relatively early." Andover saw the expressions of the others and knew that his performance was a bit over the top, so he stopped scaring them so much.

"The range of magic pollution I have detected so far is not large. Of course, I can't tell you the specific losses until I have inspected the entire alchemy room."

"Then how should we solve it? Since you can find the problem, you must already have an idea." Minister Bardoe still maintained his composure at this time.

"That's right, the solution is not difficult. Replace the damaged materials, and the array will resume operation. At the same time, I can also help you overhaul the entire array and restore its operating efficiency to be as good as new," Andover said with a slight smile, boasting confidently.

"I see." Fudge breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he only needed to replace the materials, but then he realized that something was wrong. Hadn't Andover said before that the materials for constructing the array seemed to be very precious?

Minister Bardoe also reacted at this time, wondering what Andover meant by 'losses'. "How many materials are needed to repair this part of the array?"

"Actually, not much. The magic纹 used to construct the rune array are made of Urim steel mixed with refined mithril. Anyway, from what I can see so far, only 3 ounces of Urim steel and 1 ounce of refined mithril are needed."

Hearing the materials reported by Andover, the two female executives had not yet reacted, but Fudge's eyes were about to pop out. "Only? Do you know how exaggerated the amount of materials you are talking about is? I might not be able to buy the materials you mentioned with a year's salary."

Andover couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this. "If you think it's too expensive, you can also find other alchemists to help you repair it. Maybe their skills are better, and they need less materials."

He was not afraid that these guys would really go to someone else. Andover was quite familiar with the alchemy academic circle in the country. To be honest, the rune array in the alchemy room was indeed complex, so he estimated that only he and Dumbledore in the entire Britain could see the real problem of the array.

If they really wanted to find an outsider, they might have to ask for help from Egypt, but the alchemists from Cairo might ask for an even higher price than him. This is the result of information asymmetry, and it is also a common practice in the alchemist circle to overstate the materials.

"We are not doubting you, Andover," Bardoe said, trusting Andover's words a little more when he saw Andover's decisive refusal, but still said with some heartache, "3 ounces of Urim steel and 1 ounce of refined mithril, so many materials are indeed very valuable. Is there no other way?"

"Hmm..." Andover lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then continued, "I can use ordinary mithril and Agrippa alloy to replace the repair first, but the lower-level materials will have an adverse effect on the operating efficiency of the entire array, and due to the difference in quality, I can't guarantee whether there will be any emergency failures later."

Andover spoke these words in a posture of considering for the Ministry of Magic, but he was very sure in his heart that Minister Bardoe would not agree to this plan. After all, for the large and wealthy Ministry of Magic, these materials, although valuable, were definitely not too exaggerated. You should know that the inventory in the Travers family's warehouse alone is several times more than the materials he reported.

The Ministry of Magic was hesitating about this little thing; they were clearly just stingy with money.

And as Andover expected, Minister Bardoe shook her head after thinking for a moment, rejecting Andover's substitute plan. She didn't want to affect the quality of the alchemy room's array.

"Just use the materials you mentioned before. We will have to send someone to supervise the repair process, and you have to teach our people how to maintain it at the end."

"No problem." Andover immediately agreed after hearing Minister Bardoe's additional request.

Sending people to supervise was useless to him. It was doubtful whether those second-rate employees could even understand when he was using alchemy.

After confirming the work of maintaining the alchemy room, Andover ran to the Ministry of Magic almost every day in the following week.

In fact, the detection array in the alchemy room was of extremely high quality. If he wanted to repair it simply and neatly, he only needed to cast a few spells.

But given his exaggeration to the Ministry of Magic, he had to put in enough effort, especially under the supervision of two Ministry of Magic employees.

And Andover, in order to show his work value, specially put out a lot of incomprehensible instruments in the alchemy room, while using the materials of the Ministry of Magic to cast flashy spells, watching the two supervisors look dumbfounded.

However, the reason why Andover stayed here, in addition to some formalism performances, was also to allow him more time to study the monitoring array in the alchemy room.

To be honest, the Ministry of Magic's alchemy array contained a lot of gold, and it contained a lot of alchemy spells and magic紋 that Andover had never seen before.

This allowed him to absorb a large amount of alchemy knowledge involving remote communication, remote monitoring, identification, energy absorption, energy storage, and energy saving in a short week.

At the same time, in the study of the overall array map, he also discovered the spells of space locking and tracking, which made Andover overjoyed.

You must know that for him, what makes him more worried now is the threat brought to him by the Portkey. He will definitely not let go of that 'Thunderbird' guy, but what he is afraid of is that he will be prepared to come to the door, but the other party will use the Portkey to escape again, which will be troublesome.

And from Aselia, he has confirmed that the Silver Spear does have Mentos technology and can produce Portkeys by itself, which has caused trouble to his pursuit plan.

But now the space locking and tracking technology found on the Portkey detection array provides him with a lot of ideas.

He is confident that he can use this technology to develop a jammer that can limit the Portkey, and even make equipment that can track the direction and trajectory of escape when apparating or using the Portkey for space movement.
