The regular office of the Department of Mystery is behind a separate black door.
In addition, in the time hall, the room where the Death Eater held Mrs. Selwin hostage last time was also an independent office.
Now this software office is assigned to Sherlock.
Mrs. Selwin was right. The mysterious affairs department had few staff and had few contacts with other departments. Even the Minister of Magic generally had no intersection with it. It was the lowest-sense and the most mysterious department in the entire Ministry of Magic.
From the office alone, Sherlock’s single office is very large, and it is divided into various areas. In addition, the Ministry of Magic has three meals, so even if you have been living in this place, there is no problem at all.
After simply packing up his own things, Sherlock checked the clocks on it in the time hall outside the office.
The entire Mysterious Affairs Department is very large, and there are many places that even internal personnel cannot enter.
Mrs. Selwin did not specifically remind him which rooms could not be entered, but said that the confidential room doors were closed by special magic, and any room that could not be opened at will cannot be entered.
And in this time hall, there are many doors passing through other rooms.
Sherlock stared at the most conspicuous hummingbird ornament for a long time.
The hummingbird hatched from the egg to the bird and then retreated from the bird to the egg, as if it was a biological hourglass, but it also specifically expressed the two expressions of time, advance and retreat.
The advancement of time is easy to understand. Every minute and every second in the past represents the consumption and progress of time, but regression is not a natural phenomenon.
In a corner of the time hall, many golden pocket watches are sealed in a glass cabinet.
These are the highest level of time research in the magic world now – the time converter.
The existing time converters are actually alchemy props passed down from ancient times. Their production methods have long been lost, and some of the important components have no materials.
Fortunately, these converters are not consumables, and they can be reused.
But the time converter seems to have an incredible effect, but in fact its effect is quite useless.
The time to go back can only reach five hours at most. If you turn the pointer back one round, you can go back one hour at most. No matter who you are, you can only go back five times at most.
And there have been many experiments by wizards.
Even if you can go back five hours, the history that has happened in these five hours will not change because of the appearance of time travelers.
But this argument was later studied by a certain person in the Department of Mysterious Affairs.Scholars raised questions.
The conclusion that history will not change is derived by those who return to the past and have not changed history, and will those time travelers who have truly changed history still appear at the correct time?
Or if they have successfully changed history, what form will the changed history be conveyed to this time point before time travel? Will subtly change all the cognition of historical insiders?
Or did a chain reaction occur, and another world with completely different results emerge?
If another world appears, can the saved people and things still be regarded as those people and things from before?
No matter which of these two situations, if it happens and history does change, then who will know?
So although history cannot be changed, this is still the main tone in the study of wizards in the field of time, there are many other different voices.
Sherlock did not have much thought of going back to the past time. The time converter that brought him back to this time fairy was much more sophisticated than those in the time hall.
To this day, Sherlock still takes time to use advanced curse removal every day to suppress its self-healing.
In addition to these, there are other unknown but interesting things in the time hall.
On the cabinet on the left of the time converter, there are all kinds of hourglasses. The hourglasses are constantly flowing down from above, but there is no decrease in the sand above and the increase in the sand below.
It seems that these sands are like passing time, never used up, and never piled up.
In the center of these hourglasses, there is a huge, most original hourglass.
In addition to being large, the “sand” inside is also different from other ones.
The upper half was flowing downwards, and after passing through the narrow mouth in the middle, the silver particles turned into gold, and the gorgeous light wires changed into glass hourglass, making people stare at it in a daze.
The time studied in the Time Hall is all time that has passed. What Sherlock needs is to correct the timeline, and he has not found anything valuable here.
Although most of them, he couldn’t understand what it was.
After walking around the time hall, Sherlock began to try to open the door leading to other rooms in the hall.
There are a total of six doors here. Except for the black door that goes in and out and the door of the office compartment, there are four doors leading to an unknown room.
Sherlock tried to push one of the fans, but without pushing, he took it againThen he made an attempt to make the other three doors.
There are two doors that can be opened in the end.
One of them should be a storage room with various shabby hourglasses and clocks. These things seemed to have lost their magic and were thrown into this room.
Behind another door that can be opened is a room with a completely different style from the time hall.
The room was huge and cold, as tall as the church, and was lined with towering shelves and covered with small gray glass balls.
The shelves under each glass ball were covered with small yellow labels, some of which emitted mysterious flowing light, others blurred and dark, like extinguished light bulbs, and more candlesticks embedded in the shelves through the intervals, and the flames were blue like the black hall.
Sherlock shuttled between the shelves, looking at the text on the labels under the glass ball.
[1432, Edward Charles]
[1943, Caron Philipice]
[1123, unknown]
[Out, unknown]
[Out, unknown]
Some small glass balls emit a faint halo from the inside, while others are cold and dull.
After staring at the glass balls for a moment, Sherlock knew where the room was.
Hall of Prophecy.
These glass balls placed on the shelves store all the prophecies collected from ancient times to the present by the Ministry of Magic.
Some glass balls have lost their function, but most of them can still see the prophecies inside.
The Prophecy Hall belongs to a part of the Time Hall, which is reasonable.
The main hall outside represents the elapsed time, while the Prophecy Hall represents the time to be seen by the wizard in the future.
Compared to outside, Sherlock is more looking forward to the things and information in this prophecy hall.
He walked around here, wandered around all day, and finally got off work when it was almost dark and left the Ministry of Magic.
