The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 381 Ring
After seeing the green-bottomed and gilded ceiling of Room 12 of Grimmauld Place again, Ryan felt as if he were in another world. This time he stayed in another world for more than a year, but when he came back, the hands on the clock had just passed an hour.

After washing his face in the bathroom, Ryan sat back on the bed and began to meditate. Fortunately, as his strength level increased, the traces of time left on his body became less and less. The past year and a half did not leave many traces of time on him, so he did not have to worry about others finding out anything was wrong.

This was indeed the case. The next morning, almost no one noticed that Ryan had left. Only Hermione glanced at Ryan suspiciously, as if she had thought of something, and then lowered her head to eat her breakfast.

Sure enough, even though Ryan had covered up so that most people couldn't see his changes, he still let the cat out of the bag when facing Hermione who knew part of his details and was careful.

So at noon that day, Hermione found an opportunity to ask Ryan. After knowing what Ryan had done, she was amazed by the experience he described. After all, this world also has Tolkien's books, so Hermione naturally knew what Ryan's journey to destroy the Lord of the Rings was like.

"Is this Gandalf's sword?" During the story, Ryan took out the enemy sword as evidence. Hermione touched the sword curiously. "Yes, he gave it to me because his mission in Middle-earth was over." Ryan explained how the sword came into his hands.

"It's such an epic journey, but it's a pity that I can't tell everyone about it." Hermione said with some regret after listening.

"By the way, I'll give you this. This way you can have an extra hand free for fighting." Ryan said suddenly to Hermione after telling her about his previous adventure. He remembered that Hermione also learned fighting skills from him, so if she could have a hand free to hold the wand, her fighting ability would definitely improve significantly.

He pulled something out of his pocket and handed it to Hermione. "I made it just before I came back. It may not fit your finger very well. Try it on. If the size is not right, I can change it now."

It was a ring, shining with a warm luster under the sunlight outside the window. The silver ring had intricate patterns and a small red gem inlaid on it. Ryan made this ring at Teacher Luo Zhen's house. The material came from the leftover material of his ring. The ring was cast with the same batch of mithril and mold at the same time, and the red gem on it was the remelted fragments of the fragments of the Rose Mother inlaid on the ring in Ryan's hand. It was only the size of a mung bean. Finally, Ryan injected the eternal fire as big as a needle tip into it.

Hermione was stunned when she saw that there was a ring in Ryan's hand.

"This is made from smelted mithril. It has a certain defensive effect against magical spiritual and physical attacks. It can also replace your wand to cast spells. Try it on first to see if it fits you. There is still one last step to complete. If the size is not right, you can modify it."

Hermione hesitated for a moment, then took the ring and put it on her right index finger. It felt perfect.

Very suitable." Hermione lowered her head and whispered. If someone could see her face, they would find that her face was as red as a ripe apple, even steaming.

"Okay, in that case, let's complete the last step, fusion." After saying that, Ryan took out a silver knife with folding runes drawn on it and handed it to Hermione.

"What should I do?" Hermione asked after lowering her head and taking the knife.

"Cut your hand and drip the blood onto the gem, then you will be able to completely master the ring and manipulate its power." Ryan didn't notice the change in Hermione's expression, he directly stated how to use the ring.

Hermione gritted her teeth, raised the knife, took a deep breath, and then gently scratched the little finger of her left hand. A few drops of blood scattered from the wound on the fingertip, and then she wiped the little finger on the gem of the ring on her right hand. As soon as the blood touched the gem, bloody Elvish words appeared on the silver ring. This wonderful thing was something Hermione had never seen before.

After the red text disappeared, Hermione felt a series of information being transmitted into her mind. After receiving this information, Hermione looked at Ryan and said, "This ring that can resist three unforgivable curses once a day is too valuable. I can't accept it." She stretched her left hand to her right index finger and tried to take the ring off. However, Ryan leaned over and held her left hand, which made Hermione's face redder.

"You know I'm an alchemist, and you know how much wealth I control. So these things are not that valuable to me, you should accept them. Besides, this ring has already recognized you as its master, and no one else can use it."

"Okay, I'll take the ring, let me go." Hermione stopped struggling and looked at Ryan. Ryan realized that his posture was a little wrong, as if it was too ambiguous. So he quickly withdrew his hand and sat back to his original position.

"I will wear this ring, but if you want it back anytime, just take it from me," Hermione said at last. This answer was in line with her character, so Ryan nodded in agreement.

In the bright living room, Hermione began to try to cast magic with the ring. Ryan was guiding her. Fortunately, the use of the ring was not much different from the wand. It took Hermione only half an hour to master the use of the ring. After a red light of the Stunning Spell broke the wooden board in Ryan's hand, the two decided to take a break before continuing to practice.

"Kreacher's cooking skills are getting better and better." Ryan said during a break in practice while eating the cream biscuits that had just been delivered to the table.

"It just had a knot in its heart so its skills were abandoned." Hermione also took a cookie and put it in her mouth. "Now that it has slowly recovered, it can naturally reflect the heritage of a pure-blood wizard family with a long history. And Kreacher is younger than expected, at most equivalent to a wizard in his 50s or 60s. He looked old before, but it was just because he was too sad that his face looked a little old."

At this point Hermione seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Well, why did you give me a ring this time instead of a bracelet or a necklace?"

"Because the best magic prop in that world is the ring. If I do anything else, I'm worried that I won't be able to achieve the best effect. Since I'm going to do it, I must do it to the best of my ability." Ryan told the truth.

"Oh." Hermione's expression became a little complicated, but she recovered quickly. "But how can I explain this expensive-looking ring to others?"

"No need to explain. Once this kind of ring recognizes its owner, it cannot be seen by anyone except the owner and the person wearing it."

"That's good." Hermione looked relieved. She wasn't the kind of girl who liked to show off, so she didn't want her ring to be seen by too many people. Ryan's answer now just met her expectations.

Around four in the afternoon, Ryan was called by the twins to go to Weasley's Joke Shop to deal with some things. Hermione sent them to the door.

Ryan didn't see him when they went to Diagon Alley, and after he was revealed by the twins and their followers, Hermione changed the ring to the ring finger of her left hand.
