The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 264 Capturing the Crown
"Is this Brother's world?" After stepping out of the space gate, Rose Crystal looked around this small grocery store of all worlds and asked her question.

"This place is just a space-time hub that belongs entirely to me. I have many other worlds to go to." Ryan quickly defended himself. After all, he didn't want to lose face in front of his new sister. After he finished speaking, he put a golden box in his arms on the shelf. This box was given to him by Teacher Luo Zhen. It has enough defense to hold Horcruxes.

After hearing Ryan say that he could get a Horcrux, Luo Zhen gave him such a box. After all, according to Luo Zhen, he was also very interested in this life box from another world, and hoped that Ryan could bring one to him to see.

After putting this thing away, Ryan took Rose Crystal to visit all the worlds he could go to, and even took her on a night tour of Hogwarts. But in the end, she chose to stay in the Universal Grocery Store. After all, according to her, that was it. "This should be the most important place for my brother, so Rose Crystal will stay here."

After repeatedly promising to take her to travel to various places when he was free, Ryan said goodbye to Rose Crystal who was a little reluctant to leave and returned to Hogwarts. To be honest, as the only child of two lives, he didn't know how to get along with his brothers and sisters. But Rose Crystal's obvious desire to follow him but her stubborn belief that it was more important to protect the family really touched him, and he also accepted this puppet sister from the bottom of his heart.

After returning to Hogwarts, Ryan returned to his previous daily life. The fourth-year courses were heavier than the previous ones, but Ryan was still able to cope with the workload well. However, in addition to studying, he always remembered the advice given to him by Teacher Luo Zhen.

After a week of classes, it was time for the weekend. Hermione felt a little unwell on Saturday morning, so she went directly to the school hospital. Ryan didn't want to go to the library to read alone, so he decided to go to the Room of Requirement to get the Ravenclaw Diadem.

Arriving at the stall on the eighth floor, Ryan thought three times that he needed a place to hide something, and walked back and forth in front of the empty wall three times. Then the door to the Room of Requirement appeared on the wall.

Although Ryan had been here once before to confirm the status of the crown, he was still shocked this time. After all, a space the size of a church filled with all kinds of items had a strange sense of grandeur. Ryan felt that this place was like a Diagon Alley made of miscellaneous items.

Soon he found the crown using the troll specimen as a signpost. On a crate was an ugly bust, and the crown was worn on the head of this ugly old wizard statue. The whole thing was rusty, and if you didn't tell it, you wouldn't know that this was a treasure left behind by Ravenclaw, one of the four giants.

It seems that Voldemort hid each Horcrux with different characteristics, so that no one could find all of them by analyzing his habits. The diary was put out in the open to cause trouble, Harry was just an accident, the locket and the resurrection stone ring were hidden using a series of evil mechanisms, and the gold cup and the crown were mixed with a lot of similar things, which was purely hidden. Nagini is a living creature, which is a blind spot in many people's thinking.

So the gray crown was hidden in the pile of junk by Voldemort on purpose, and this hiding was very successful. Even Dumbledore didn't figure out that this thing was here. In the original text, if it weren't for Harry's protagonist halo and he had accidentally seen this crown, no one would have thought that this thing was there.

After Ryan confirmed the location of the object again, he summoned a steam robot to pick up the crown and put it into a special golden box. During this process, the crown was very quiet, and there was no magical attack as expected. This may be because Ryan chose a robot to move the crown, so the soul inside did not react. On the other hand, the main hiding method of this crown is camouflage. If a lot of magic traps are set on it, there will be no camouflage effect.

After putting away the golden box, Ryan opened the space door and went straight to the Wanjie Grocery Store. It was not until an hour later that Ryan reappeared in the Room of Requirement, holding a shining crown in his hand.

Ryan stayed with Mr. Luo Zhen for another week this time, and the two used this time to thoroughly study the Horcrux. From the research results, it can be seen that there are certain differences between the Horcruxes and the phylacteries made by Voldemort: the advantage of the Horcrux is that the materials required are much cheaper than those of the phylacteries, and the cost is lower. At the same time, the method of cutting the soul is much simpler than making the phylacteries, and it is easier to make.

But the problem with this is that, on the one hand, the method of cutting the soul by the Horcrux is too harmful to the soul, especially using killing to separate the soul can be regarded as an extremely simple and crude method, and the sequelae left on the soul are naturally much greater than the sequelae of cutting the soul when making the phylactery. On the other hand, this cutting method will inevitably make the soul in the Horcrux have a certain self-awareness, which means that the place where the Horcrux is stored must be a place where the owner of the Horcrux has a deep impression, otherwise the self in the Horcrux will gradually disappear. Even if the Horcrux is resurrected later, the owner of the Horcrux will lose some of his memory or even completely lose himself.

This research result finally let Ryan know why Voldemort put his Horcrux in a place where others could determine it by analyzing his life. If it weren't for this restriction, Voldemort was not the kind of person who knew nothing about the Muggle world. He could have secretly put his Horcrux on Voyager 1 or the Mars probe. In this way, even if they knew where the Horcrux was, no one would be able to get it back.

After thoroughly studying the Horcruxes, Mr. Luo Zhen successfully separated Voldemort's soul from the crown, and then used it as a target for Ryan to demonstrate the Nine Heavens Thunder Formation. However, the soul that was separated from the protection of the Horcruxes was too fragile. Even Voldemort's soul was completely shattered after being directly hit by two purple thunderbolts. It could not withstand 7749 thunderbolts as Ryan imagined.

After stripping away Voldemort's residual soul, the two studied Ravenclaw's diadem together. Legend has it that wearing Ravenclaw's diadem can gain wisdom. Ryan even read in some fan fiction in his previous life that there is a saying that this diadem is actually Ravenclaw's Horcrux. Wearing it is equivalent to carrying a system or grandfather with you.

This time, with the analysis of Luo Zhen, the top alchemist, the Ravenclaw crown finally unveiled its mysterious veil.

This crown is actually an alchemical product. After Teacher Luo Zhen confirmed that it was safe, Ryan put on the crown and soon discovered the function of the crown.

There are several magics fixed on the crown. One is the mechanized mind, which can turn a person into an emotionless learning machine. Another is the detection magic, which can make people see the magic aura without disguise within the sight. The last one is vitality recovery, which can greatly reduce the user's fatigue and hunger.

In short, this is a good thing that can make 007 devote himself to learning. No wonder Ravenclaw has engraved "Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind" on the crown. With this thing, the smart Ravenclaw is definitely more powerful.

This is why Ravenclaw always wears this crown, because this crown can maximize her wisdom.

Teacher Luo Zhen praised this crown highly. He thought that the maker must be a very powerful person to be able to use materials and alchemy arrays that he considered to be good to create such an alchemy product with a near-eternal effect. When Luo Zhen learned from Ryan that the maker of this crown was an ancient person who lived thousands of years ago, he sighed for a while and felt sorry for not being able to communicate with such a person.

After checking and analyzing all these things, Teacher Luo Zhen chose to retreat and sort out the knowledge he had gained. Ryan went to find Rose Crystal and prepared to return to school. During this time, Rose Crystal was not idle either. When Ryan found her, she flew to Ryan's ear and boasted that she had learned the knowledge of faith to become a god from a book in the study. Teacher Luo Zhen collected this book when he was traveling in a different world. He came back and found it useless, so he piled it in a corner. Unexpectedly, a group of little dolls found it.

After reading this book, Ryan found that in order to become a god through faith, one must have the right time, right place, and right people. Unfortunately, none of the worlds he had met the requirements. And he did not intend to take the path of becoming a god through faith.

So he just listened to this matter for fun. After satisfying the little doll's desire to perform, he gave his study notes from the past few years to Alice and her sisters, and then returned to the Room of Requirement with the rose crystal.
