The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 473 Combat
They circled around many places several times until a purple-black cloud rushed in from the west like a solid wall, making the forest they were in suddenly dark.

"We have to find a place to stop." Edward, who was sitting behind Ryan, said, "Clouds like this often mean a blizzard is coming. It might not be a good idea to fly in bad weather conditions."

"Understood." After communicating with Hermione through the Phoenix Mark, two flying brooms carrying four people began to descend, and finally they found a rocky cliff and landed on the leeward side. When their feet landed on the ground, a gust of wind blew violently and shook the surrounding trees, and the crackling sound of trees breaking reached their ears.

In this wind as cold as coming down from an iceberg, there were fingernail-sized snowflakes mixed in. The arrival of the blizzard made the sky dark. Seeing Bella, the only ordinary person here, shivering constantly, Ryan knew that they had to set up the tent quickly, otherwise this low temperature environment would really kill people.

Soon, Ryan and his friends used magic to set up a small two-person tent. Ryan then crawled in on all fours and shouted to the outside, "It might be a little crowded. I prepared it for two or three people, but I didn't expect five people to stay here this time."

"Such a small two-person tent--" Bella looked inside in disbelief after she got in, because she found herself walking into a Victorian-style three-person suite with gorgeous decorations. Soon everyone got into the tent, and after lighting the fire in the fireplace, they sat on the sofa and drank hot cocoa together.

"This is truly magical." Edward said as he took a sip of the hot cocoa in his cup and looked around. "I know that many vampires also possess some special abilities, but they are far less magical than what I see here."

"Of course, this is the power of magic." Ryan said, "I have set up magical defenses outside, so we can have a good rest tonight. After all, the newborn vampire army will arrive tomorrow, and the hostile vampire you mentioned is also a vampire who has lived for a long time and has experienced many battles. I don't think our attempts to disrupt the opponent today will be effective enough."

"Of course!" Looking at Bella who seemed a little nervous, Hermione added: "Even if ten vampires come together to besiege us, we can guarantee to hold out until the reinforcements arrive. But I think if the other side can really see through our arrangement, they should send a large force to entangle our large force, and then use the elite to raid here. To be honest, we can't lose in a one-on-one battle, so please relax."

After chatting for a while, they went back to their rooms to rest. In her room, Hermione finally asked a question that she had been holding back for a long time. "Why does Edward look so much like Senior Cedric?"

"This is very normal." Ryan boasted seriously. "There may be people who look alike in different worlds. According to scientists, even in the same world, there may be two people who look alike. Not to mention different worlds." At this point, Ryan remembered a video on Bilibili about Hermione's imitation makeup. The girl in the video really looked like Emma.

"Just like that Belle who looks like me, right?" Hermione thought of the trip a few years ago and nodded in agreement with Ryan. "This is such a pleasant little surprise!"

Gradually, the surroundings became quieter and the wind died down. Soon, everyone in the tent fell asleep.

When they woke up in the morning, the weather was very clear, and the surrounding environment seemed a little too bright under the reflection of the white snow. Ryan stood at the entrance of the tent and looked down the mountain. He saw a giant gravel-colored wolf jumping towards them. Ryan quickly identified who this werewolf was.

"Good morning, Seth Clearwater." Ryan greeted the giant wolf after seeing it run to the tent and stop. "Didn't Sam think you were too young to participate in the battle?"

"This kid feels that he should come to protect his friends." Edward came over to help translate, "And Sam agreed with his idea. Sam thinks it is absolutely safe for him to stay with you and your fiancée." "Thank you very much for your trust in me," Ryan said, and then began to cook breakfast in the campfire outside the tent. Hermione also stepped forward to help, because now they had to prepare breakfast for Seth, the uninvited guest, and the werewolves had a big appetite. In order to let the werewolves have a full stomach before the battle, they directly got a processed sheep from another world and started roasting it with a magic wand.

Looking at Bella sitting under the tree with Edward, Hermione, who had learned about Bella and Jacob's relationship from the werewolf, stared at the two with some displeasure. "I don't know how a person can like two people at the same time. Don't they feel confused?"

"Many things cannot be explained clearly, and we cannot impose our own views on others in this regard." Ryan said, he recalled that in his previous life, many people thought that the heroine of this book was two-timing and morally flawed. However, thinking about the many popular male protagonists who are two-timing in online novels, from a fair point of view, there is nothing to criticize about a two-timing heroine.

With the help of magic, breakfast was quickly prepared. After they were full and sat for a while, several people left Bella in the tent and began to arrange defenses. Although Edward and Seth did not think that the enemy could find this place, they still approved of Ryan's vigilance.

"The battle has begun. We can hear them fighting." Edward suddenly said. At this time, Ryan and his men had already set up a circle of magic defenses around the tent. They stood there quietly, ready to fight at any time.

"Both sides are feinting, and our people haven't found Victoria. Wizards, I think your worries may be true." Edward half-crouched down, stretched out his arms slightly in a defensive posture, and Seth turned into a giant wolf and hid in a bush. Ryan and Hermione also drew their wands and swords, while Rose Quartz hid in a tree with a large sword made of amethyst in both hands.

Just when everyone was ready, two vampires slowly walked over from the small open space in the camp. Ryan found that they seemed a little surprised when they saw him and Hermione, but after sniffing the air, they continued to move forward. Maybe they felt that ordinary humans would not pose a threat to them.

After a boring conversation, Seth rushed out, leaped across the middle of the open space and knocked the newborn vampire Riley to the ground, while Edward and Victoria started dancing.

This was the first time Ryan had seen a fight between vampires. Victoria quickly slid back, from one side to the other, trying to find a gap in his defense and rush to the tent. Edward quickly blocked her steps and approached her quietly with great concentration. It seemed that they would not be able to decide the winner for a while.

After making sure there were no other ambushers around, Ryan and Hermione attacked the newborn vampire with their wands at the same time.

The two spells of "Petrify All" and "Quickly Imprison" accurately hit the newborn vampire Riley who was pinned down by Seth's giant wolf body. After Seth found that his opponent was motionless, he immediately seized the opportunity and tore the vampire into pieces.

"No——" Seeing her powerful assistant being killed, Victoria screamed in a baby-like voice. At this time, she had already run to the edge of the clearing. After discovering that her assistant was killed, she immediately fled towards the jungle. Edward did not expect her to be so decisive. After he reacted, he had already opened up a distance of several meters from her, and it was impossible to stop her from slipping away again.

After taking a last longing look at the tents protected by several people behind her, Victoria ran straight into the woods.
