The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 464 Communication (Please subscribe, collect, and vote)
The inspectors of the Celestial Empire are similar to the Aurors of the United Kingdom, both of them are the elites among the elites. An inspector who has obtained the third-class merit after one year of employment is equivalent to a novice Auror in the United Kingdom who directly obtained the third-class Order of Merlin in the first year. Of course, there is a luck factor in this, but if you don't have the strength, you may not even be able to escape unscathed.

As expected, Ryan could clearly feel the difference between experienced combatants and novices: the first step of their battle was to find a place to hide, and then they attacked Ryan with mutual protection. When facing Ryan's spells, they would try to avoid them with as little movement as possible, and only when they could not avoid them would they choose to use magic of similar level to the incoming magic to defend themselves.

When Ryan and his men found that these spells of harassment could not hinder the two people, they immediately changed their tactics: Hermione began to manipulate the shadows to spread to the surrounding ground, while Ryan cast runes one after another in the air to set traps on the ground.

After seeing this scene, the Wang brothers immediately stopped rushing forward, then simultaneously stretched out their palms and hit out two transparent small balls.

"Spirit Bomb!" Ryan complained in his mind, but he didn't dare to relax his hands. He quickly waved his wand and released a chain of runes to fly towards the Wang brothers. Hermione relied on Ryan's cover and used her shadow to form a black mist-like barrier.

Seeing the chains entangled with them, the Wang brothers immediately fired the magic in their hands. Ryan immediately felt the strong pressure of this magic. Under his command, the chain composed of runes turned into a thread that entangled the two transparent balls formed by magic.

As Ryan raised his wand, the runes and two small balls rose into the sky. More than 20 meters above the ground, the small balls exploded. Even people on the ground could feel a strong airflow blowing down.

This magic is a relatively complex and powerful magic, and the corresponding cost is extremely high consumption. While the Wang brothers were preparing for the next magic, Ryan and his team launched a counterattack.

Hermione was the first to attack. She controlled the shadows of the two people and bound their feet. Then Ryan took advantage of the two people trying to free their feet from the black mist that was like mud and launched a counterattack.

With the shaking of the wand, Ryan cast a Stunning Spell. However, unlike the spells cast by ordinary British wizards, the teachers and students watching saw dozens of red beams of light raining down on the Wang brothers in a short period of time. The Wang brothers kept dodging, but were still hit in the end. The strange thing was that after being hit, only one of the Wang brothers took a step back.

"Fake?" The Wang brothers suddenly realized. But it was too late. A vine-like electric current took this opportunity to hide in the black mist released by Hermione and moved to their feet. Before the two of them could react, they were given a love shock.

"It seems that you got a little carried away after receiving the medals. You could have used the cyclone explosion with one person providing cover for the other, but you used the magic at the same time, which caused a window of opportunity for the opponent to take advantage of." An old wizard with obvious burn marks on his cheeks came out and said loudly. The Wang brothers immediately stood up, then lowered their heads and stood in front of the old wizard. "But it's a good thing that you failed in the competition this time. It will allow you to get to know yourself better, so as not to lose your life in a real battle."

"He gives me the feeling of Moody." Hermione came closer and said. "Looks like he has been through a lot of battles."

Her guess was very accurate. When Ryan and the other two came down from the ring, the uncle told them that the old wizard who criticized the Wang brothers was called Liu Qingzhi, the chief instructor of the Northwest Branch of the Celestial Empire Inspectorate. He used to be the top inspector of the Celestial Empire. After retiring at the age of 60, he returned to his hometown and became the instructor and supervisor of the local inspectors.

"Lao Liang, your nephew and his grandson are amazing!" After severely criticizing Wang Shi's twins, Instructor Liu came over and patted Ryan's uncle on the shoulder, then looked at Ryan and the others. Ryan felt that his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

"Are you two kids interested in studying here in the future? I can write you a letter of recommendation."

Instructor Liu enthusiastically invited Ryan and the others. According to his uncle, this instructor Liu is one of the most famous professors in the academy, and he is happy to share his many years of combat experience. Many new generation inspectors were successfully employed because of his help. "Further study? Of course I'm willing. But we still have two years before graduation--"

"It's okay. I think I will still be here in two years. Just ask your uncle to write me a letter. Even if I can't come, I can still take correspondence courses." Instructor Liu said, waving his arms vigorously.

"Thank you then." Ryan thanked him sincerely, and then watched the instructor lead the Wang brothers, who were lowering their heads and looking frustrated, out of the crowd.

After dinner, Ryan found his uncle alone and asked, "Can you tell me why this place is so friendly to me? It shouldn't just be because I'm a descendant of the Celestial Empire, right?"

"Of course not." Ryan's great uncle was very frank on this topic. "On the one hand, the magical plants you provided are very valuable, and equal exchange is our principle here. We can't break this principle just because you are not a native. On the other hand, due to the confidentiality law, we are not an official member of the International Confederation of Wizards. So we hope to contact the outside world more conveniently through some channels."

"The Statute of Secrecy? What's that?" Ryan asked in confusion, because the history of magic he had learned previously vaguely mentioned that in addition to Japan, there was a very unique magical society in East Asia that was outside the Statute of Secrecy system, but nothing else was explained in detail.

"When the West passed the Statute of Secrecy, we were always opposed to it. This is different from the West's insistence on pure-blooded marriages among wizards. Because of our long history of intermarriage with ordinary people, our world is inseparable from that of ordinary people. Can you imagine that in order to comply with a broken Statute of Secrecy, at least half of the wizards need to be separated from their lovers, wives, children, and even parents?"

"In the West, there aren't many wizards who intermarry with ordinary people, so those who are unwilling to accept the Statute of Secrecy are naturally suppressed quickly. But when it comes to the entire East except Japan, the International Federation can only pretend not to see it."

At this point, my uncle seemed a little proud: "But we still hope to learn some lessons from the Western wizarding world. Unfortunately, the British wizarding world, which used to be the leader of the Western wizarding world, has been like a stagnant pool for more than half a century, and has completely lost the reform spirit of more than a century ago that was willing to use anything useful, even Muggle stuff."

"This is indeed a problem." Ryan nodded.

"But from you and your wife, I can see that they have made great progress in the past few years." The uncle changed the subject and said, "So they hope to grasp the latest progress of the Western magic world through communication with you."

Ryan felt that they seemed to have some misunderstandings, but since this misunderstanding would not hurt anyone but would benefit both parties, Ryan was happy to keep quiet and said, "In this case, we will do our best to communicate with everyone."

"That's good." The uncle nodded. "Although our family is not a powerful one here, it is definitely not weak. As long as what you bring out is of sufficient weight, I can make those idiots use all their hidden skills."
