The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 348 Shadow of War
"Then we should—" Ryan asked, but Dumbledore made a quiet gesture before he could finish.

"Of course I don't need you to rush to the front line, at least not until we old people die." Dumbledore said some cruel words in a calm tone. "It's just that as a party involved in this matter, I think you need to know about it and be mentally prepared."

After saying this, Dumbledore changed his tone and said in a relaxed tone: "Of course, we still have to live no matter how cruel the war is. Enjoying a happy life is also a favorable counterattack against those evil forces. At least today On this day of winning the championship, I think you still need to celebrate with your classmates. You should go back to the common room now."

Dumbledore went to the office with McGonagall, Moody, and Snape after sending Ryan and the two of them away. It seemed that he was going to discuss the next move with members of the Order of the Phoenix.

On the way back to the common room, Harry looked a bit lost.Of course, because his participation in the competition was completely cheated by others, and he did not participate voluntarily.So this kind of confusion is not because of losing the game, but thinking about Voldemort.

"Ryan, what do you think Voldemort is going to do next?" Harry asked bravely.

"I don't know." Ryan shook his head. He was telling the truth. Now that the plot has changed dramatically, the future is once again shrouded in fog.He really didn't know what Voldemort's next move would be. "It's nothing more than gaining power, wooing lackeys, and finally gaining the right to dominate the world. All villains are like this."

Speaking of this, Ryan stopped and looked into Harry's green eyes and said, "But what should come will come, and we will accept it when it comes. Harry, just work hard to improve your level and be prepared. Don't let the mysterious person occupy you." your whole life."

"Oh, every time I hear you talk, I always feel like an elder—" After listening to Ryan's persuasion, Harry looked better.Even made a joke. "But you're right, there's no point in worrying too much now. I'll try my best to adjust myself."

Sure enough, a grand row party was prepared in the common room, and everyone kept making noise until one or two in the morning before going to bed.Fortunately, the exam is over, and everyone has enough time to sleep in the next day.

But the happy atmosphere was broken the next day. During breakfast, the owls threw the newspapers on everyone's heads, and everyone who opened the newspapers became serious.

Ryan opened the newspaper he subscribed to, and saw that the front page of the "Daily Prophet" was filled with ten black-and-white photos, with the faces of nine wizards and a witch, some laughing silently, some haughtily tapping their fingers frame.Each photo has a name and the crime of being imprisoned in Azkaban.

"Neville, are you okay?" Ryan suddenly noticed that Neville, who was sitting next to him, began to tremble. Following his line of sight, Ryan turned his gaze to the only photo of a witch in the newspaper.

The witch in this photo has long, unkempt black hair and a haughty, contemptuous smile on her thin lips.It can be seen that she has inherited the handsome looks of the Black family, but the mental problems caused by the long-term career in Azkaban and the almost crazy worship of Voldemort have taken away most of her beauty.

Accompanied by a line below: Bellatrix Lestrange, who tortured and permanently disabled Frank and Alice Longbottom.

Ryan just patted Neville on the shoulder at this time, he knew that saying anything at this time would be pale.I can only hope that Neville can get out of here smoothly.

After eating, Ryan ran to the garbage warehouse in the Room of Requirement, where Hermione was already waiting for him.As soon as she entered the door, Hermione held today's newspaper and asked, "Did that person do it?"

"Yes, but this is also good news." Ryan told Hermione the result of his thinking on the road just now, which made her feel incomprehensible.

"Good news? Ten dangerous Death Eaters have escaped from prison and you think it's good news?"

"Of course." Ryan analyzed, "We all know that there were quite a few Death Eaters back then, but maybe less than one-third of them were imprisoned in Azkaban. If that person wants to find someone, he can contact Death Eater outside." It should be more convenient to be a gangster. I suspect that the reason why he ran to Azkaban to save people at the risk is that he has not solved his own problems, so he dare not find those who may not be reliable outside. This also shows from the side that he will be lurking for a period of time during these days, and will not appear in people's sight until he is completely ready."

"Such an analysis seems to make sense. Well, what did you ask me to come here today?" Hermione felt a little strange that Ryan asked her to this place.

"Get you a bodyguard." Ryan pulled Hermione to the troll specimen. "I saw this giant monster before and found that the person who made the specimen was very good at that time, and this stuff has been piled up here and no one has used it for 200 years. So I want to transform it into an alchemy puppet, so that when you fight There's something that will block the spell for you."

"Do you have an alchemy puppet?" Hermione asked, looking at the troll.

"Yes, I made it from a monster I found." After speaking, Ryan took out the two palm-sized basalt death claw puppets and threw them on the ground.Soon two monsters with metallic luster appeared in front of them.

"It's ugly—" Hermione commented after taking a look. "But I can see that this is prepared for war, and it doesn't matter whether it looks good or not. I hope to see the gift you gave me later."

"This puppet is definitely different from mine. My puppet is more inclined to attack, and if the puppet is made of giant monsters, it is more inclined to defend."

"It really suits me." Hermione nodded with a smile on her face. "With this, I shouldn't be able to hold you back in the next battle."

"I'm looking forward to fighting side by side with you." Ryan said with a smile, and then he started the transformation project.

After laying the entire specimen down, Ryan examined the specimen carefully.Because the internal organs of the troll had been hollowed out when making the specimen, Ryan simply filled the gap in the specimen with a tall nut, and combined the two things with runes, bringing some plant characteristics to the troll.

After that, Ryan used magic ink made of several kinds of plant branches and leaves to draw runes on the giant monster, and at the same time inlaid some sun gems engraved with runes on various body parts of the giant monster, and connected these rune gems with transformed tablet-eating vines. Form an overall magic cycle.

In every step, Ryan let Hermione input magic power into these things, making these energy cycle structures more convenient for her to operate.

Finally, half an hour before dinner, new golems were made.After dripping a drop of blood on a Sunshine Gem, Hermione set the gem into the golem's left chest and closed the Valyrian steel lid with the silver rune on it.

"Recycle." Hermione read the code word in High Valyrian, and the puppet shrank rapidly and finally turned into a dusty giant stone sculpture the same size as a palm.The stonework looks abstract, like a shabby carve by a novice.

"Thank you," said Hermione after receiving the stone sculpture in her bracelet. "With this shadow looming, I think it will come in handy soon."
