The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 337 News
During this period, Ryan went to the secret library whenever he had time. There were many books in the library, many of which he had never seen or even heard of. At the same time, Ryan found that the information collected here also covered a wide range. Not only the research materials of British wizards, but also the information collected from all over the world.

For example, what Ryan is reading now is a thick book written in medieval cursive Latin. The cover of the book is gold inlaid with gemstones, and the pages inside are made of Colchic sheep skin. This kind of sheep is the descendant of the legendary golden sheep. The parchment made from their skin is a beautiful light gold color that can last for thousands of years without decaying, and at the same time can carry the power of magic.

The same is true for the ink used for copying. The runes venom added to it can not only ensure anti-corrosion and color fixation, but also slightly etch the parchment to ensure that the writing will not be worn away.

The knowledge recorded in the book is more precious than these. It contains seven or eight kinds of potions that can permanently enhance a person's ability in a certain aspect. The only problem now is that many of the raw materials recorded in it have disappeared, and even if they have not disappeared, Ryan cannot afford them now.

Alchemy is indeed a costly science. No matter how much money you make, you will always feel that it is not enough. Fortunately, Ryan now has resources from several worlds to spend. He is reading this book now in the hope of deducing the working principle of the potion from the knowledge in the book, and then see if there is a way to find similar substitutes from other worlds to make medicine with similar effects.

The number of books stored in the alchemy area was relatively small compared to other areas, but there were still two to three thousand in total. Even though Ryan's physique had been upgraded many times and he could remember everything he saw, it was still a big project to read all these things.

But after Ryan read books here for a few days, he found that the way this secret library identified people was actually through soul fluctuations. The previous magic verification process was actually to collect soul fluctuation data through magic fluctuations.

This is actually a very sophisticated magic that can accurately identify unwanted outsiders. Even someone like Harry who has the Invisibility Cloak from the Deathly Hallows cannot deceive the guarding magic here before he learns how to use this treasure. After all, the Invisibility Cloak that can be seen through by Moody's magic eyes can only be said that Harry can't use it yet, and the guarding magic of this place is far stronger than Moody's eye.

In this situation, Ryan found a shortcut: Rose Quartz was floating in the air on the bookshelf and flipping through the books quickly, while her artificial elf Lusa was quickly writing down the contents of the pages.

Because Rose Quartz has the same soul as Ryan, he is also considered a part of Ryan in this library. In this case, he can help record the contents of those books.

The way the puppet reads books is more like scanning. In this case, she can record much faster than humans. It only took half a month for the little puppet to scan almost all the books here.

After scanning all the books here with rose crystal, Ryan sorted out the contents with rose crystal through soul connection when he lay in bed at night.

Reading a book in his mind is much faster than slowly flipping through the pages, and he soon found some familiar books, such as the "Cui Yu Lu" written on papyrus and the "Baopuzi" engraved on bamboo slips. The only difference is that these books have many more key points than the non-magic versions, making them genuine and precious alchemical magic books.

The next time was the time for study. Ryan would sometimes go to the Wanjie Grocery Store to read books in order to gain study time. At the same time, in order to avoid being exposed, he would still go to the library to read books sometimes. In this state, time passed slowly. Until one day after the Easter holiday.

It was the last week of May, and the weather had already gotten hot. Professor Dumbledore was still not in school most of the time, probably out directing the hunt for Voldemort and looking for his other Horcruxes.

At the end of the Transfiguration class one day, Professor McGonagall kept him and Harry after the Transfiguration class.

"Potter, Liang, you will be down at the Quidditch pitch at nine tonight," Professor McGonagall told him. "Mr. Bagman will be there to tell the champions what the third task is."

At this time, Ryan realized that he had to participate in the Triwizard Tournament as a member of the Warriors. But to be honest, after experiencing Voldemort's resurrection and the destruction of the Horcrux, he had almost forgotten about it. So, at 8:30 that night, Harry met Ryan in the Gryffindor common room and went downstairs. Along the way, they kept discussing the content of the last competition.

"What do you think it will be?" Harry asked Ryan as they walked down the stone steps and merged into the overcast night. "I heard from the people at Beauxbatons that it is very likely that we will be looking for some treasure underground?"

"Underground? That's absolutely impossible." Ryan denied. "I haven't heard of any underground caves like the one in Castrobruso around here, and it would be too expensive to dig one manually. It's not worth it for a competition."

As they were discussing, the two walked along the dark lawn towards the Quidditch field, and then entered the field through a gap between the stands. The field was no longer flat and smooth. It seemed as if someone had built countless long low walls here, which were intricate and winding in all directions.

The people of Beauxbatons also guessed partly right. Ryan saw a lot of soil piled up in several places in the middle. Having built trenches in several worlds, she quickly realized that there should be some underground buildings.

"Good evening!" a cheerful voice called out. Ludo Bagman was standing in the middle of the field, and four other warriors from other schools had already arrived. Ryan and Harry stepped over the low walls and walked towards them.

"Well, what do you think?" Bagman asked cheerfully as Ryan and Harry climbed over the last low wall. "Good progress, isn't it? In another month, Hagrid will have them twenty feet high."

Under normal circumstances, Harry might have felt dissatisfied and worried about the change in the Quidditch field, but after seeing the scene where Voldemort emerged from the pot, he now put this matter first in his mind and just hoped that the game could be over quickly. Naturally, he did not react much to Bagman's words.

"Well, I think you can probably guess what we're going to do here?" Seeing that no one was talking, Bagman began to try to liven up the atmosphere.

"Maze." Ryan said directly.

"That's right!" said Bagman. "It's a maze. But this maze is different from the one in Hartford. With the help of magic, it's a three-dimensional maze that's all-around more difficult than you can imagine. The third task is very simple and clear. The Triwizard Cup is placed in the center of the maze. Whoever can touch it first will get full marks."

"All we have to do is get through the maze?" Fleur said.

"There will be obstacles," said Bagman cheerfully, hopping up and down on his tiptoes. "Three Ministries of Magic each provide a host of magical creatures . . . and there are spells and puzzles that have to be solved . . . and that sort of thing, you know. And the first one to get into the maze is the one with the highest score." He glanced at Harry with an eager look, as if he were looking at a pile of Galleons.

"Remember, you all have to fight to succeed. It all depends on your ability to get through the obstacles. It should be fun, right?" Bagman concluded.

"Yes, it should be fun." After solving the traitor problem and driving Voldemort away, Ryan felt that this game should be a pure competition, and he planned to take this opportunity to have some fun and relax.
