The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 339 Strengthening
The Request Room was now engulfed in a blood-red glow. There was a complex magic circle on the floor in the center of the room, and the light came from three blood-red runes floating on the magic circle. The mysterious pattern formed an equilateral triangle in the air. Each group of patterns formed an object corresponding to one of the three dragon eggs.

These patterns covered the entire magic circle, not only dyeing the room red, but also making Hermione sitting in the center of the magic circle look blurry, with only a dark figure left.

Now the whole magic ritual has entered a critical moment, and the first step is to eliminate the unnecessary parts. The first thing to consider here is the compatibility with Hermione. If the compatibility is too low, it is very easy to induce power out of control, so it naturally needs to be eliminated.

The second thing to look at is demand. For example, the dragons in the world of "A Song of Ice and Fire" are actually a kind of magical beast, so their beastly wisdom or dragon-like appearance are naturally unnecessary and can be eliminated directly.

The last step is integration and weighing. After all, even if Hermione's body has been strengthened once, the amount it can hold is limited, so Ryan must make a choice.

Fortunately, there is some information about this aspect in Slytherin's records on body modification. After integrating the knowledge of several worlds, the plan formulated by Teacher Luo Zhen has reduced the risks to a minimum.

As we all know, dragons are creatures at the top of the food chain. They can adapt to most harsh environments and have one of the best intelligence among wild beasts. In addition, they have extremely strong bodies and sharpness that matches their bodies. Most importantly, dragons also have some innate spell-like abilities, which is also the most powerful ability of this group.

But everything in the world is balanced, and such a powerful creature will also have a lot of corresponding problems. For example, the magic of a dragon is matched with its soul, and if this dragon wants to master its magic-like abilities, it must accept its intelligence. Similarly, if you want to obtain the powerful body of a giant dragon, you may need to accept some dragon transformation.

In short, this is a creature with many advantages, but also obvious disadvantages. Many of its advantages are tied to negative effects, and some are even simply derived from its negative effects on humans.

If you don't want to turn into a giant dog-headed man with a lizard head after the transformation, become extremely irritable and angry, or have serious obstacles in understanding the world, then you must make some trade-offs in your choices.

Fortunately, the magic circle used celestial silver, which was the materialization of faith, and dragon blood, which was the same origin as the dragon eggs, so that every rule hidden in the dragon eggs could be transformed into pictures and texts that appeared clearly in front of Ryan, giving him room for adjustment.

I think Slytherin did the same thing back then, but at that time, magic research was still blank in some areas. So he only summarized a few simple things. Voldemort, who had seen the summary of these predecessors, must have been a little too impatient when he was young, and finally chose the most dangerous transformation and blood transplantation, accepting all these rules without distinguishing good from bad. This approach made him gain powerful power while also gaining a lot of disadvantages.

In front of the magic circle, Ryan stretched out his hand towards a large number of regular patterns, and the patterns began to change as he directed his magic power.

The three groups of regular patterns were directly broken up, and the lines connecting the different regular patterns were cut one by one by Ryan with the help of the sky silver on the magic circle, and finally turned into a large number of independent patterns.

A large number of complex runes that were difficult for the human body to withstand were deleted, as were many parts with too strong side effects and the same parts in the three dragon eggs. In the end, only some simple runes were left.

"The truth is simplicity!" Ryan thought of this sentence inexplicably when he saw the pattern that was less than 1/10 of the original size. The next step was to put the remaining parts together again.

Under Ryan's finger command, the patterns began to slowly connect, and at the same time, they were charged by the magic circle below and emitted light. When all the regular patterns were finally connected, they shrank and gathered together, forming a small red ball above Hermione's head. After reading it carefully, he began to chant another part of the spell, and at the same time took out a peanut-sized light golden silver crystal and threw it at the red ball. The method of making this silver crystal is to compress and upgrade the liquid silver repeatedly. Ryan learned it from teacher Luo Zhen two days ago. It is also the first high-level energy crystal that Ryan has learned to make. For this, he also took out most of the spoils seized last time as a thank you gift to the teacher.

Under the influence of magic, the two objects, one real and one virtual, merged into a small ball between reality and virtuality, and then slowly descended. Finally, when it touched Hermione's head, it turned into a blood-red light and merged with her.

At this time, Hermione's body showed a strange suction force, sucking the energy of the magic circle into the body. This should be the transformation starting to work.

The transformation this time is not as much as imagined. The first is to enhance perception, which can improve people's sixth sense. It can help people avoid danger in many places and make it easier to seize those fleeting opportunities and inspirations when doing various things.

The second is a flexible body. As a flying creature, the dragon has a strong balance ability and a flexibility that is disproportionate to its huge size. After strengthening this aspect, Hermione can have a more flexible body and sense of balance, and can do some actions that ordinary people can't do.

The last and most important enhancement is the tough soul. As we all know, the soul of a dragon is also extremely powerful. At least most soul control magic cannot have any effect on a dragon. After removing the side effects, the remaining power can only increase Hermione's soul toughness by about half.
This doesn't sound like much, but in fact the effect is already very powerful. According to the records Ryan had read before, even the most powerful alchemists and wizards in this world have mastered various means to increase the toughness of people's souls, but the best record in history of a person without any side effects is barely reaching this level.

As for why he didn't choose the dragon's most attractive physical or magical abilities, it was because when he analyzed the runes just now, he found that these abilities that sounded very powerful were completely bound to the dragon's body or soul. If you want to have these, you must completely transform yourself into a dragon. Not to mention the difficulty and the tolerance of the person who accepts the transformation, the simple fact that you will become a beast without your own self after the transformation is unacceptable.

The last ray of light on the magic circle disappeared, which also meant that the magic enhancement was completely over. Hermione slowly opened her eyes.

"How does it feel?" Ryan asked.

"Hmm..." After feeling it for a while, Hermione tried to stand up, but her legs became numb because she had been kneeling for a long time, so she sat back down.

Ryan hurried over to pick her up and put her on a few cushions in the corner, then took out a cup of blood-activating herbal tea and handed it to her. Hermione took the tea and took a sip before saying.

"I feel like I'm a completely different person than before, but I can't put my finger on what's wrong right now."

"It's okay. It's just past lunch time. We still have enough time to feel the difference from before." He handed over a lunch. "You can feel it slowly after you finish eating. I will be here with you all the time."
