Chapter 763 - Culling Aftermath Ⅳ (1/2)
There is a lapse of silence in the Minister of Magic's office. Reginald has an intrigued expression on his face, while Sanderson has a blank expression on his face. ”I see,” Sanderson sagely said failing to understand the previous explanation of the Minister of Magic.
”The purpose of the Auto-Database will be to create a magical, scent, and fingerprint database for known criminals' offenders. Stored samples will be registered and be accessible to anyone with a security clearance. Naturally, there will be different levels of security clearances, but that is a discussion for further on,” Minister Jenkins continued to explain with a proud expression.
”We will also announce the creation of Wizarding Link, Wiz Link for short,” Minister Jenkins explained. ”With the creation of the Magical Brain, some of our more artistic members realized that shows, theatre, films, can be passed through the Magical Brain and shown on mirrors. And via a sound trumpet, all sounds can be passed through much like the muggle TEL-I-VIZION.”
”Why would anyone want such a loud thing?” Sanderson asked in bewilderment as Reginald Prince nodded in agreement.
”Gentlemen as I said the application of the Magical Brain is endless! Wiz Link is not only limited to broadcasting say information such as daily news, or music, but gentlemen face to face communication! Via the mirror and the use of the sound trumpet, parties will be able to see each other via mirrors and converse. Gentlemen, it is possible to visit with family and friends without the need of travel, floo, or owl!”
”Impossible!” Sanderson gaped in shock. Though his wily mind was intrigued by the idea. He would be able to conduct personal business from the safety of his home. His wife, Clarice would most certainly be pleased. Probably….
”The idea bears merit,” Reginald Prince replied rather intrigued by the concept. ”When is the expected completion date?”
”Currently it is in the creation phase,” Minster Jenkins confessed. ”Testing on a larger scale will commence by next year in hopes of having a full functioning system in a year. Not to mention officially create and expand the Wiz Link department. The Wiz Link department will be in charge of running the Wiz Link which we hope will bring merchants to purchase advertis.e.m.e.nts and others to purchase programming hours much like the current Witching Wireless Network, which is similar to muggle RAY-DIO.”
”The Ministry of Magic will earn money and taxes all at once,” Reginald Prince mused out loud. ”It is an excellent decision, Minister. I congratulate you on your vision.”
”Thank you, Prince,” Minister Jenkins stammered at the unexpected complimentary praise from Reginald Prince.
Glancing at the hour, Reginald Prince says, ”We best excuse ourselves, Minister. The hour is drawing near, and you have many pressing matters to complete before the press arrives.”
”Then I shan't detain you, gentlemen,” Minister Jenkins said as she rose to her feet.
”No need, Minister,” Sanderson interjected as his knees popped as he climbed to his feet. ”Yesh, these bones of mine are getting old,” before pulling up the cowl of his hood much as Reginald Prince did.
Minister Jenkins makes a sound in the back of her throat and watches the two wizards go. She had plenty of things to finish before the press arrived. Without any further thought, she dove back to work keeping one eye firmly on the clock aware of the time as they closed the door behind her.
Under the careful watch of Mrs. Prim, the hooded figure of Sanderson and Reginald Prince depart without a sound. Strangely enough, the two men depart from the Ministry of Magic without ever being noticed nor stopped. One could argue it was magic, but then again, these two were professionals at slinking in shadows.
The air was still and cold as faint, scattered snowflakes still make their way down from the heavens. The storm had all but ended having exhausted itself the moment. There is at least a foot or more of snow on the ground. The snow is soft around their feet, but with a flick of their wands, they clear a neat path through the snow-covered ground.
The smaller hooded figure from under his cowl, Sanderson lets out a low chuckle. ”If the Ministry of Magic will be the primary security enforcer of the Wiz Link. Does that mean that they will have the means of espionage on any resident connected to the Wiz Link?”
”Mm, I am certain there will be regulations in place to prevent that,” Reginald firmly replied. ”That being said, there are naturally always exceptions to the rule, and I believe the magical words would be a threat to the wizarding statue or ongoing investigation.”
