The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 272 Research
After finishing these procedures, Dumbledore began to invite others to have a drink together. Ryan took this opportunity to look at all the contestants in the room and found that Krum had the worst face among them.

This is not surprising, there is a big problem with two warriors from one school: cheating is a tradition in the Triwizard Tournament, which means that the contestants will get more or less help from the school. But when a school selects two warriors, not only can these resources not be concentrated, but internal friction may even occur.

No wonder Krum looked so unhappy; the two people at Hogwarts were not equally powerful, and Headmaster Beauxbatons had a high degree of control over the school. It seemed that he was the one who received the least help.

Obviously, the over-staffing of warriors required each school to coordinate internal issues. Except for Dumbledore who had always been laissez-faire with the students and didn't care about this, the other two headmasters declined his invitation and took their warriors back to make arrangements. In the end, only two Ministry of Magic officials chose to stay and have a drink with Headmaster Dumbledore and stay in Hogwarts for one night.

"Harry, Ryan, I suggest you go back to bed." Dumbledore looked at them with a smile, "I believe that the Gryffindor classmates are waiting to celebrate with you. They finally have an excuse to make a big noise, it would be wrong to take away their opportunity."

Ryan walked out absentmindedly after hearing these words, because he only got 12 points of deviation by becoming a Warrior. "Is this awarded in stages? It seems that this year's story should be very different from the original. Otherwise, such a completely subversive behavior would not only have these few deviation points."

"Why are these headmasters leaving so quickly?" Harry was a little surprised. After all, he was just a 15-year-old young man and there were some darker places that he could not imagine.

"Yeah, originally all the school's resources could be allocated to one person, but now there are two warriors, so of course they have to think carefully about how to allocate resources--" Ryan said absentmindedly as he walked in front.

At this time, the corridor seemed empty, and the candle flames had become very small, which made the weird smiles on the pumpkin lanterns flicker and look a little scary. - Plus, today is Halloween, and this atmosphere is very suitable for this haunted day.

But the biggest difference between this Halloween and previous years is that Peeves, the most troublesome ghost, was watched by the Bloody Baron because there were guests from other schools - so this year's Halloween always makes people feel as if something is missing.

After hearing Ryan's words, Harry showed an uneasy expression on his face, "Ryan, believe me, it was definitely not me who put my name in the Goblet of Fire."

"I believe you. I gave you tutoring for so long last year, but I still didn't know what level you were at. I don't believe you if you said you put it in." Ryan shrugged easily, and continued after seeing Harry breathe a sigh of relief. "But the most important thing now is to face the competition. After all, the competition is on the 24th, but you are not prepared at all. In this case, shouldn't you think about how to pass the competition smoothly now?"

Harry's face suddenly fell. After all, his eligibility problem had been solved by the method of two players from one school, but he was not prepared at all for the following games.

"By the way, can you lend me the Marauder's Map now?" Ryan asked at this time, "The twins once told me that they gave you the Marauder's Map."

"Here you go." After Ryan said it twice, Harry finally reacted and took out the Marauder's Map from his pocket. "What do you want this for?"

"I think someone may have put your name into the Goblet of Fire, so I want to see if he is still in the castle." Ryan directly stated his goal. After opening the map, the two stood there and checked it carefully, especially the professors' offices. Unfortunately, no suspicious places were found. It seems that the man is hiding deeper than imagined.

Well, since the plot has changed, it is inevitable that the method of waiting and waiting will not work. In this case, Ryan felt that he could only slowly find the suspect. But it didn't matter, anyway, that person put Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire in order to tamper with the competition. Then if I participate in the competition together, I will always have a chance to catch that guy.

When they reached the second floor, Ryan said goodbye to Harry and headed straight to the library. As expected, Hermione was already waiting for him in the library.

"Congratulations on becoming a warrior." Hermione said after seeing Ryan sitting down opposite him, and then pointed to the books on the table. "Because you became a warrior, some of the books in the restricted area are also open to you. I picked out some that you may need and you can take a look first."

"Thanks." Ryan naturally took the book and started reading.

"Eye-sickness spell, magic needle, powerful stun spell, elemental magic theory--" It seems that there are a lot of good things hidden in the restricted book area. Unfortunately, under normal circumstances, only students in the Defense Against the Dark Arts NEWT class can learn these things with the signature of the professor. No wonder some people in the Ministry of Magic have a worrying level of combat ability. How can they improve their level when they can't get enough knowledge?

Hermione was very happy that Ryan became a warrior, especially now she could take the opportunity to read the books that were previously placed in the restricted area. Madam Pince discovered this, but turned a blind eye to Hermione's behavior as a fellow book lover.

Because Wolfe had said before that there were only a few times in the Triwizard Tournament that did not involve fighting behemoths, most of the books Hermione found were about magic that could be used to deal with behemoths.

Some of them are various status magics that can be used to buff yourself and debuff the opponent at the same time, and the other part is some special means that can hurt the behemoth.

"Eye-sickness spell? It seems to be a special magic for big guys. I must learn it. It may be useful against giants in the future."

"Hey, there is actually a magic that can increase your status. Why is this thing in the forbidden area?" Ryan said to himself curiously after seeing the speed-up spell. After flipping through two pages, he found the reason. "So that's why. It requires the user to have strong physical fitness."

In front of him, a page of an open book showed a person with poor coordination doing a split after using this spell, using a dynamic drawing unique to the magic world. This picture made Ryan feel a dull pain in a certain part of his body.

Time passed slowly in this study, and Ryan reluctantly left the library until the curfew bell rang. Fortunately, tomorrow is Sunday, so he can come and visit for another day.
