The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 133: Strategic Magic Emerges

"Wake up, wake up." Ryan felt someone shaking him in his dream, and a female voice sounded in his ears.

He opened his eyes and his vision gradually became clear. A young black woman's face appeared in front of him, and Ryan finally came to his senses. He remembered that he had just asked the railway agent to call him when the time was up.

"Okay, I'm awake. Thank you for reminding me." After saying that, Ryan crawled out of his sleeping bag, took out a bottle of water, washed his face and woke up.

Ryan took out his pocket watch and found that it was already 3:30 in the morning. It was time to start.

After asking the agent to wait in the middle of the tunnel, Ryan walked up to the altar and took out his wand. The little green that had been wrapped around his left arm as an armband swam down from his arm and fell onto the altar. Then it turned into the size of a python and circled around the altar, its upper body stood up, and its head stretched to the same height as Ryan's head.

After Xiaoqing was in position, Ryan began to wave his wand and chant the spell. Xiaoqing's body slowly turned around the altar in rhythm with the spell.

As the spell was chanted, the runes inlaid with gold and silver on the altar were lit up one by one, emitting a hazy white light. The white light became brighter and brighter, and finally it even overshadowed the brightness of the emergency lights on the wall.

At this time, the light on the runes no longer continued to brighten. Under Ryan's spell command, the runes composed of white light slowly detached from the altar, and then began to rotate around the altar as Ryan waved his wand, forming a white light belt flying in the air.

Unlike the ritual magic that Ryan used before to appease the dead, what Ryan is using now is a strategic magic that is almost lost in the modern magic world.

Strategic magic release requires advance preparation and requires a long period of motionless casting. If this world is a magical world, Ryan would never use this kind of magic. Because when the spell is cast, the place where the spell is cast will show an abnormal magic reaction. If there are no large numbers of people to help cover the person who releases strategic magic, he will become a living target for concentrated fire.

In the world of Harry Potter, as wizards isolate themselves from the Muggle world, this magic used for large-scale wars is gradually lost. After all, the population of the wizarding world is not large, resulting in pure wizard wars often being small-scale battles. Therefore, this kind of strategic magic used for large-scale warfare has gradually faded out of the wizarding world.

The ancient Viking wizard's legacy that Ryan obtained fortunately retained a large amount of strategic magic. However, compared with the large-scale magic such as the undead army and the restoration of the holy land recorded in the legacy, the fatigue fog that Ryan used today was just a weakened version of a certain original magic.

After all, if it is the original version, it either requires a large amount of precious magic materials, or a powerful wizard as the caster, or a sufficient number of trained wizards to work together to release it. So for the sake of convenience, wizards at that time developed many abridged versions of strategic magic for a wizard to use on a daily basis.

Naturally, the power of this abridged version of magic is much smaller. For example, the original version of the Mist of Exhaustion can release a magical mist covering a small city from a few kilometers away, but the abridged version can only cover the size of a base at a close distance.

Today, because it was Ryan's first time to use this kind of magic, out of caution, he used the segmented casting technique from the inheritance. This technique can inject the magic power that needs to be injected at one time in segments without affecting the power of the magic. However, this will consume more magic power overall and greatly prolong the casting time.

For example, today's magic can theoretically be cast in ten minutes. But Ryan was worried that his magic power reserve could not be completed in one go, so he extended the casting time to thirty minutes. This way Ryan would have enough time to recover his magic power and cast the magic.

This also means that this technique cannot be used in wizard battles in most cases in the Harry Potter world, because the several times the casting time is enough for the opponent to beat the segmented caster into a sieve. Half of the time has passed, and Ryan's casting has reached its climax. As the spell is chanted, Xiaoqing also opens her mouth and spits out streams of light green mist that fill the basement.

Slowly, following the command of the magic wand, the mist began to merge with the white glowing characters in the air. The characters also turned into an ominous green light.

Finally, the emerald green light filled the entire basement. Xiaoqing stopped spraying mist, and the whole snake showed a sense of fatigue. And Ryan's forehead was also covered with sweat, waves of soreness came from his arms, and his throat was also burning.

But he gritted his teeth and persisted, because the magic was about to be released successfully. As the spell was chanted, one green light symbol after another passed through the ceiling and landed on the ground. When these symbols were exposed on the ground, they quickly faded all colors and turned into a light white mist, which then slowly drifted towards the airport.

If it were daytime, this abnormal phenomenon would be discovered by the sentries. But now it was night, and the sentries were not as vigilant as they were during the day. Not to mention that the airport was right on the seashore, and there was often heavy fog at night.

Fortunately, it was a foggy day today, so the magic fog was mixed into the sea fog. No one noticed this unusual situation. As time went by, the magic fog completely enveloped the Brotherhood's base. At the moment when Ryan's magic was completely released, the Brotherhood members suddenly found that they were paralyzed and unable to move, and then they blacked out and passed out.

After the ceremony, Ryan sat down on the altar, feeling exhausted from both his body and soul, while Xiaoqing also collapsed beside the altar in exhaustion, not moving. But he knew that there were still things to do, not the time to rest.

So Ryan shrunk Xiaoqing into the size of an earthworm and put her in a bottle filled with sunlight crystals in her coat pocket. Then he pulled the rope on the wall as agreed.

The other end of the rope was connected to a bell in the safe house. Ryan had told the others that if the bell rang, it meant his magic was successful, and that anyone attacked by magic would be in a coma and unable to be awakened within eight hours. They only needed to deal with the automatic weapons set up by the Brotherhood.

After sitting against the wall for a while, Ryan packed up everything in the basement, and then slowly walked along the passage toward the safe house.

After struggling to climb out of the tunnel, Ryan found that everyone in the room was sitting there nervously looking at the door. After hearing the noise in the tunnel, a militiaman pulled Ryan out of the tunnel.

"What are you doing?" Ryan asked in a low voice.

"We sent out the scout," Knight nodded. "Hopefully he'll bring us good news."
