The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 184 What is this place? (Please subscribe, collect, and recommend)

With a splash, a black shadow emerged from a pool in a cave. After killing his opponent, Ryan finally surfaced.

After surfacing, Ryan looked around and found that this was the bottom of a cenote. There were mosses emitting blue light growing on the stone walls around, so he could vaguely see the surrounding situation. After Ryan looked around, he saw a figure lying motionless on the water about five or six meters away.

"Hermione!" Ryan exclaimed, and then immediately swam towards the figure.

After swimming to the shadow, Ryan found that Hermione had a bubble head curse on her head, which made Ryan feel a little relieved. Then he pulled the attacker and Hermione to the only shallow beach he saw by the pool.

After a quick check, Ryan found that Hermione was fine but had just fainted. This should be because the attacker had knocked Hermione unconscious at the beginning and cast a head-bubbling spell on her. Then he put her aside and ambushed Ryan in the water in order to capture two hostages at once.

Judging from this move, the attacker must be a skilled veteran: first he completely disabled a hostage and put him aside so that he would not get in the way, and then he used his advantage to ambush another opponent in the water. However, he did not expect that a junior student had such strong close combat ability and was equipped with good equipment. As a result, he fell into Ryan's hands.

Since Hermione was not seriously injured, Ryan put her aside for the time being. After all, he was going to ask the attacker some questions and might resort to some methods that were not suitable for children. It was better not to let Hermione see this.

Ryan first used magic to activate the leaf brooch given by the principal to try to contact the principal, but it didn't work as expected. The brooch was just like an ordinary accessory and had no reaction. It seemed that there was magic that could suppress these communication tools. But then again, it seemed that in the movies he had watched before, people couldn't be contacted at critical moments. This might be an inevitable event.

It seems that I can only rely on myself. Thinking of this, Ryan shook his head and walked to the attacker. He found that the attacker no longer looked like a human being: he had turned green from head to toe, his exposed limbs were covered with scales, and he had shark-like gills on his neck. But the scary thing was that the wound on his waist was no longer bleeding, and granulation tissue had grown on the wound. These granulation tissues kept wriggling, trying to seal the wound.

"Oh my God, what the hell is this?" Ryan thought of this and pried open the other person's mouth to pour medicine into him, but unexpectedly found that the teeth in his mouth had become as sharp as razors.

The changes in this man gave Ryan an ominous feeling, so he put down the medicine bottle and called Xiaoqing from the grocery store. After Xiaoqing tied up this guy, he gave him the healing potion.

Less than ten seconds after he drank the potion, his eyes suddenly opened and he began to struggle hard, roaring like a wild beast. Ryan only saw violence and bloodthirstiness in his eyes, and all human wisdom was gone.

Is this out of control? Ryan thought. After all, he had seen in the human body modification materials left by Slytherin that adding other biological parts to the human body would easily lead to loss of control, and all the behaviors of the person in front of him perfectly matched the situation after losing control described by Slytherin.

It seems that this guy is hopeless and there is nothing to be learned from him. Now we can only adopt the backup plan. Ryan pulled out Clinvi's tooth from the scabbard on his thigh, then infused his arms with spiritual power and used all his strength to chop off the head of the guy who had turned into a monster. It seems that the battles in the Fallout world have given people a lot of experience. At least the hand of chopping heads is much cleaner and neater than the executioner who chopped off Nick's head that year. While thinking about these messy things, Ryan cut a strip of cloth from the opponent's clothes and dipped it in the opponent's blood, which had turned green, to draw a magic circle on the ground.

When the magic circle was finished, Ryan placed the head in the center of the magic circle, and then pressed the magic circle with both hands to infuse magic power into it. This is the soul part of life magic, which can extract the soul of the dead and read the contents of the soul. The only problem is that this kind of torture is one-time, and it requires the magic user to have enough soul strength to find the part he needs in a large amount of memory.

As the magic was injected, a large number of memory fragments soon rushed into Ryan's mind along his arms. Ryan quickly used the Maoshan Taoist method of Bao Yuan Shou Yi, and then began to slowly sort out these memory fragments. Seven or eight minutes later, Ryan exhaled a long breath and left the magic circle with both hands. A ball of dark blue flame suddenly ignited from the magic circle, burning everything in the magic circle to ashes.

Because of the mutation that occurred before, his soul had serious problems. When Ryan used life magic to check his memory, he only saw some fragmented memories, most of which were meaningless fragments of life scenes. Fortunately, Ryan finally found some things related to this underground space in these fragmented memories.

This underground space was not newly excavated as Ryan imagined, but an ancient relic. Castro Brussels School was built on top of the relic long after it was abandoned, but none of the school's teachers and students had discovered this place.

This is not surprising. After all, there are fragments of magic-hating stones scattered throughout this land. Therefore, unless a cave connected to this ancient ruin is dug directly, the ruins will never be found using magic. At the same time, the ruins are buried very deep, so the school that only searches and digs in the shallow layer naturally did not find this ruins.

As for why the school was built on the ruins, it was because even though wizards knew magic, they were still human beings. So when choosing a location for their settlement, they tended to choose a safe, convenient place with abundant resources, just like Muggles without magic. Especially in the early days when the Floo network was not popular, wizards would choose places near rivers as their settlements to facilitate the circulation of materials and the travel of people.

Especially in places like schools where there are a large number of people, they may need to obtain some basic necessities from the Muggle world, such as food, cloth, furniture, etc. Then the river naturally becomes their best transportation line.

In addition, the construction of the school also requires sufficient space and absolute safety. After adding up all these conditions, it may be easier to find a place that meets the requirements in the plains, but there are not many places that can meet these requirements in the depths of the wild Amazon rainforest. In this case, it is easy to understand why the school was built on such a forgotten ruin.

Just like Ryan's previous life, many historical cities often dug up various cultural relics from underground during construction. Unfortunately, the school did not find the relics hidden underground this time, but the school's enemies did and used them.

According to what Ryan found out from the memory of the fake Professor Ferdinand, there are at least three tunnels that lead directly from the ruins to the underground network under the school garden. It seems that the monsters also entered the school through one of the tunnels. Unfortunately, as a member of the Chimera Society, the fake one doesn't know much about the ruins that originally belonged to the Blood God Cult.

Ryan recalled the story of Hogwarts Castle, which was first infiltrated by Sirius, then attacked by Death Eaters, and finally successfully attacked by Voldemort and his men. He felt that this might be a curse. Every place that claims to be the safest will always be successfully attacked. This was the case with the Maginot Line and Iwo Jima in the Muggle world, and also with the various wizard schools.
