The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 247 Diagon Alley

This summer vacation was extremely busy for Ryan. Ever since he knew that Peter had escaped, Ryan knew that the war was approaching step by step. Under such circumstances, he used all his free time to improve his strength.

As we all know, the improvement of strength does not only rely on practice, in the extraordinary world, equipment is also a part of strength. Although it is difficult to obtain some powerful magic props through purchase in this world. (If Ryan really has it, he will not buy it with Garen.). However, as a person who has inherited the top alchemist, Ryan naturally chooses to make some suitable magic props for himself.

Before making magic props, his first step is to analyze all the magic props he has. In the past few years of his wizard career, he has obtained a lot of magic props, and Ryan hopes to analyze these props and find out the most suitable method of making magic props under the overall rules of this world.

Because Mr. Luo Zhen, an alchemist who has touched the most basic rules of the world, has specifically told him that different worlds have different laws, so no matter which world the props are used in, they must be close to the laws of this world in order to exert their full power.

Unless the alchemist can truly obtain the power beyond the world and integrate this power into the magic props, the props will no longer be affected by the laws of the world and can play the best effect under any circumstances. This is why Clinway's tooth did not play the artifact-like effect in this world as in the radiation world, and was even damaged during use. Because the laws adapted by this weapon are not completely consistent with those of this world.

So during this period of time, Ryan spent a lot of time analyzing all the magic props he had, such as Gryffindor's dagger, meteorite amulet and space bag, and naturally gained a lot from them.

The Gryffindor Dagger is the most ingenious one among all the items. Ryan suspected that this item was forged by the Goblin King together with the Gryffindor Sword. From this dagger, Ryan learned how to change the physical properties of metals, how to strengthen the armor-piercing ability and anti-corrosion effect of swords, and even how to absorb objects to strengthen them. However, due to his limited ability, he could not restore the nearly permanent enchantment effect on the original dagger.

The meteorite amulet that Hermione returned went to the other extreme. It took Ryan a long time to figure out that its ability to resist an instant death attack did not come from a sophisticated manufacturing method. After research, he found that the item was extremely simple in terms of manufacturing technology. It was just a hole drilled in the meteorite to facilitate the chain to pass through so that people could hang it around their necks.

The magical effect is achieved purely by relying on the special properties of this meteorite. It cannot be replicated without a second meteorite. Unless Ryan is as powerful as Luo Zhen and can touch the origin of the world, he can understand the law of life contained in this meteorite and imitate it.

In the process of analyzing each item, Ryan also tried to make a magic prop, or to be more precise, to upgrade a magic prop. After analyzing several pieces of space equipment in his hands and figuring out the principles, he dismantled the special space bag bought from the second-hand store in Diagon Alley. He also used the above materials to strengthen the space bag with the best basic materials from the pyramid.

The result of the enhancement was satisfactory. The internal space of the space bag became a huge space of 5m*5m*3m. Although it was far inferior to Newt Scamander's suitcase magical zoo, it was enough for Ryan now, not to mention that he left room for further upgrades in the future for the next round of upgrades.

After analyzing all the magic props, Ryan was ready to start working when he found that the biggest problem that bothered him was the lack of raw materials. He didn't have all the raw materials, so he needed to disassemble some equipment to obtain raw materials, but the raw materials that could be obtained from this source were limited after all. In this case, Ryan could only think of ways to find enough raw materials.

As a first step, he went to several worlds that he had already mastered. However, since most of those worlds were not worlds with highly developed supernatural powers, the types of raw materials available were too limited, and it was basically impossible to gather all the raw materials needed.

So I could only make a few small gadgets with the materials on hand, and then said goodbye to my parents at breakfast time one day and went to Diagon Alley to find what I needed.

When he arrived at Diagon Alley, he found that it was as lively as usual in the school term. After all, the Quidditch World Cup was about to be held in the UK, and many foreign wizards took this opportunity to travel to the UK.

After squeezing through a group of middle-aged women speaking Russian, Ryan finally walked out of the dense crowd in Diagon Alley and came to his shop. This was his first time here after he got the shop.

The shop looked a bit shabby, with a layer of mottled green paint on the wooden facade. Through the lattice window, you can see some boxes neatly placed inside. There is a plaque above the window, but the bronze letters on the plaque have almost fallen off, and it is impossible to tell what this shop used to do.

Ryan went over and knocked on the door, which soon opened. A head with flame-red hair suddenly appeared in front of him. "Fred, you scared me." Ryan said after taking a step back. "I just tried to knock on the door, but I didn't expect you to be there."

"It's just me now." Fred made an exaggerated gesture of inviting people in. "George went to the potion shop to buy ingredients. Fortunately, our OWLs exam results were acceptable this time, so my mother allowed us to go out for half a day every day to do our own things."

"Isn't it troublesome for you to run like this every day?" Ryan asked as he walked up the wooden stairs.

"It shouldn't be a big deal. Although I didn't dare tell our mother about this, my father knows about it. He helped us connect the fireplace of this store to the Floo Network, which makes it very convenient for us to come and go every day."

At this point, Fred said a little embarrassedly: "Because we have to test and produce now, there is not enough space. We want to stop the warehouse rental business below. What do you think?"

"As long as you think it's appropriate, it's fine. Anyway, I've already said that the rent generated by this house and the rental business are all part of my investment. As long as you think it's better to stop the warehousing business, I have no objection."

"Thank you." Fred said this and pushed open a door on the second floor. Ryan found that it was filled with various experimental equipment that looked a little old. There were also several cardboard boxes next to it containing some semi-finished products that should be spit candies.

"We have received quite a lot of orders, especially from wizards from abroad recently. George and I sell our joke products on the street and they are selling very well. So we now have enough funds to research new products."

Fred pointed to the instruments on the table with some pride and said, "We spent a lot of effort to get this set of equipment from a thrift store. But we haven't developed any new products yet."

"Speaking of new products, how about this?" Ryan said as he pulled out a crudely made bronze bracelet from his arms.

"After being activated, this bracelet can deflect all spells that attack the wearer. Of course, the spells here are at most some minor evil spells. And the materials I used are very ordinary, so the lifespan of this bracelet is uncertain. If it is a formal offensive spell such as a stun spell, three of them will make this bracelet completely ineffective."

Just as he said this, Fred took the bracelet and looked at it, then said in an excited tone: "You are actually an alchemist, why have I never heard of you before?"

"It's just that I learned some alchemy by chance. After all, I found that most of the daily necessities in the wizarding world have magical effects, so I thought there were many wizards who knew alchemy, so I didn't tell others." Ryan shrugged.

"In fact, most of those items are just products of spells or transfiguration. There are very few people who can really do alchemy, even in the wizarding world." Fred raised his bracelet and said, "Alchemical products like yours can only protect against minor evil spells at best due to material factors, but if you sell them outside, you will have to sell them for at least 30 to 40 Galleons."

"So valuable?" Ryan asked in surprise.

"Of course, knowledge is power after all." Fred spread his hands and said, "As far as I know, Hogwarts sometimes offers alchemy classes in sixth and seventh grades, but they require all OWLs in Transfiguration, Potions, Ancient Runes and Arithmetic Divination to be O in order to take this elective course. Now you know why alchemy products are so expensive."
