The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 172 Chimera Society
"By the way, what is this test for?" Ryan realized that he did not come here to investigate the Saints. He came to find out why the shopkeeper suddenly attacked him and said it was a test, and what this test was for.
Because just now when Principal Fernando was treating the shop owner, Ryan picked up the wooden thorn. With his knowledge of herbal medicine, he easily identified that it was a common sleeping pill, not the imagined poison. So he thought the shop owner's words might be true.

"The shop owner is my godfather." Principal Fernando said, "Originally I wanted him to trick you into raiding the backyard under some other pretext to test your ability, but he accidentally let you see the saint's symbol, and ended up causing you to end up like this because of a misunderstanding. In fact, the reason for this test is that the task we want to ask of you next is somewhat dangerous, and if your ability is not good enough, we will not let you participate."

"You two are both powerful wizards. What is it that you two cannot handle that requires help from a student like me?" Ryan asked curiously.

After hearing Ryan's question, the shop owner coughed twice and said, "I just introduced the history of the Saints to you because I wanted to tell you that most of us Saints are fighting for a great dream. Although we made mistakes at the beginning in the process of realizing this dream, not all Saints have this goal. Especially in the late stage of the war, we were short of manpower, so we recruited people who were drunk and had no idea of ​​their background. Some of them used the name of the Saints and the chaotic situation to achieve their evil goals. The Chimera Society we are going to deal with this time is like this."

"Chimera Society, what is that?" Ryan asked curiously, because he had never heard of this thing before.

"This is a very old club, dating back to the ancient Greek era." Principal Fernando said, "They have always dreamed of creating powerful magical creatures through magic, so they wantonly use all kinds of evil methods to transform magical creatures. Legend has it that Chimera was created by them. This is also the origin of the name of their club."

"During the war started by Grindelwald, many members of the Chimera Society used fake identities to infiltrate the Saints. Afterwards, they did a lot of bad things in the name of the Saints, such as several important Muggle massacres."

"You know, Grindelwald believed that wizards should lead and manage Muggles, but he opposed the wanton killing of Muggles. So when my godfather and his father discovered that a group of Chimera wizards were hiding in South America, they mobilized the former saints in South America to wipe out these guys who were ruining the reputation of the saints."

"But I didn't do it." The shop owner said with a regretful tone, "They joined forces with the local black wizards who performed blood sacrifices. With the protection of the local natives, even the local wizards found it difficult to catch them, let alone outsiders like us. Things have only taken a turn for the better recently."

"It may be because they have been lurking for a long time and feel that they have developed well. We learned that they plan to take advantage of the exchange students from the UK to launch an attack in order to create a sufficient impact on the entire wizarding world."

"Why are they doing this? Shouldn't such an evil organization hide itself? Why are they taking the initiative to jump to the front?" Ryan asked puzzled.

"Well, let me explain it this way." Principal Fernando said, "Just like the Death Eaters in your European heyday, evil organizations must show their strength when they develop to a certain extent. Only in this way can they break free from the shackles and develop further. After all, the development of an organization is far from enough to rely solely on internal potential. It also needs to absorb fresh blood from the outside. If people outside don't know you at all, how can they join you?"

"Then the Brazilian Ministry of Magic doesn't care about this kind of thing? As far as I know, both Ministries of Magic have contributed a lot to our exchange here this time." "We have already warned the Ministry of Magic, but because I don't have any solid evidence, those bureaucrats in the Ministry of Magic think we are just being overly sensitive. Now the only support we can get from the Ministry of Magic is that they promised that a team of Aurors will patrol around the school from time to time."

"Well, the Ministry of Magic anywhere is unreliable. It looks like I have to find a way to save myself now. So what do you need me to do?" Ryan asked.

"We have a special course at Castrobrusho that involves going into the wild to observe magical creatures in the wild. As a formal exchange student, you must also take this course. Naturally, the class location for this course will be out of the school's protection range. Even if the destination is a place arranged by the school in advance, there is a certain degree of defense in theory, but it is definitely far inferior to the school's own defense. This is the only chance for those attackers."

"So we hope you can help observe the status of your students from the UK. If you find anything wrong, you can notify us immediately." After saying that, the principal took out a green leaf like glass and handed it to Ryan. After Ryan took it in his hand, he found that it was an exquisite brooch.

"Brooch, what's the use of it?" Ryan asked curiously, because in his perception it was just a simple leaf, without any magic runes drawn on it, and it didn't look like a magic prop at all.

"It comes from a wind chime tree planted in the principal's office. Its leaves grow in pairs on the branches. There is a mysterious connection between the paired leaves. As long as one leaf is activated, the other leaf can resonate with it. That is to say, after you use magic to activate the brooch, all the sounds around you can be replicated by the other leaf through resonance. Only the former principals and a very few people know about this tree. You can use this thing to contact us when the other party has blocked your external communications by some means."

"I understand." Ryan took the brooch and pinned it on his chest. "Thank you for your trust in me. After all, I am the person involved in the incident you told me about. In this case, it is definitely better for me to be prepared in advance than to face the emergency without any preparation."

"We still have to thank you though." The shopkeeper said, "After all, the other party is also good at magical creatures, and you are taking a risk by wearing this brooch. So I promise you that after this operation is over, no matter what the result is, I will give you some of the things I learned when I was a saint."

After discussing some details, everything was almost arranged. At this time, the owner said: "Oh, by the way, your companion is still waiting for you in the front. I think you should go to the front now. If there is anything important later, I will ask your principal to inform you."
