Chapter 478 Lupin's Visit (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote)
After Hermione wrote a letter and asked the owl Hermes to take it to Norway, they heard the electric bell installed at the gate of the yard ringing early the next morning just after they finished their meal.

"I don't think I told anyone about the location of this new home. It's an independent manor with no neighbors. How come someone came to visit so early? Could it be a salesman?" Ryan muttered as he went out to open the door, while Hermione was clearing the breakfast dishes. She had recently become interested in housework magic, so whenever she had the chance, she tried to use magic to do housework in this house with a magic barrier.

"Why are you here so early?" Ryan walked to the iron gate and found that the person waiting at the door was Lupin, who was wearing a slightly old-fashioned plaid suit. This surprised Ryan because the owl was released last night. Considering the time it took to fly to Norway, it was equivalent to Lupin rushing here directly after receiving the letter early this morning. "Have you had breakfast? If not, I'll prepare something for you."

"I received your letter when I got up, and then I hurried over after eating a sandwich. So don't bother you." Lupin walked in after Ryan opened the iron gate. It seemed that doing his favorite job and helping his fellow werewolves had brought him both spiritual and material success. He looked much more excited than when he was a professor. Ryan also found that the plaid suit he wore was a bit old-fashioned, but the material was very good. This indirectly showed that after finding a suitable job with a financial foundation, Lupin was not the kind of ascetic who didn't know how to enjoy life.

"Are you serious? You found a way to cure werewolves, right?" Lupin asked repeatedly on the way through the yard, which was not like his usual behavior. But Ryan could understand Lupin's approach. His problem almost affected his first half of life. Almost all the disasters that happened to him were caused by this. Now that he saw the hope of change, he was naturally very excited.

"Yes, I got some inspiration during this engagement trip." Ryan said. Fortunately, there is not much contact between the magic world in China and the magic world in Europe, which provides Lupin with ample room for imagination.

"Yes, that mysterious land." Lupin also made a leisurely and fascinated expression. "I heard from Professor Dumbledore that they are quite open to foreign scholars, but it's a pity that their writing and civilization completely hinder our channels to learn their knowledge."

Hearing this, Ryan could only smile and shrug. In the world of Harry Potter, the whole of Europe has the same magic system, but it has its own characteristics as it spreads to different regions. Even the magic in the Near East and North Africa, which are very close to them, and the American magic influenced by their culture, have the same origin.

However, the magic system of the Celestial Empire was a different thing from the beginning. If you don't have a thorough understanding of the local culture, it is difficult for ordinary people to understand those things. Ryan relied on a series of things he learned from Uncle Nine to understand and comprehend those magic books written in classical Chinese. Hermione relied purely on the classical Chinese basics that were instilled in her before, and asked Ryan anytime and anywhere through the Phoenix Mark to understand some of the books.

After entering the room, Hermione had already prepared tea for everyone on the coffee table in the living room. Lupin sat on the sofa and looked at the surrounding furnishings and said, "Your new home looks very good. It really feels like a home."

"Thank you for the compliment." Hermione nodded with a smile. She was very happy that the housework she had done before was recognized. After a while of greeting, they got straight to the point.

"Professor Lupin," Hermione said, "In fact, the results of our research this time cannot restore werewolves to humans." Hermione paused and looked at Lupin. Lupin did not show any impatience, but listened carefully. Because he knew that Ryan and Hermione were reliable people, and they would never inform him if they did not come up with a solution to the problem.

"It doesn't matter." Lupin said, "After all, werewolves have existed for more than 3000 years, and so many great wizards in history have failed to solve this problem. So in my heart, no matter what you can do, I will be grateful. Because for so many years, only you are willing to spend time researching werewolves, even if your research results are only a tiny improvement for us, we are worthy of our gratitude."

"It's not just a tiny bit of progress." Ryan said, "We are now further along in werewolf research than anyone alive today. We are now able to keep werewolves conscious while in wolf form, while removing their infectious abilities." "What, is this true?" Lupin stood up excitedly and dropped the cup on the tray beside him. Fortunately, Ryan caught the cup with a wave of his hand.

"It's true." Hermione nodded seriously. "We came to you because we are confident enough to complete this task. The only problem now is that no matter how much simulation or deduction we make, we still need to actually do it. Because this is our first time, we are not 100% sure of success—"

"Is this why you said in your letter that this is a dangerous method?" Lupin took over Hermione's words before she finished speaking. "I know the reason you wrote that letter was to ask me to help you find a volunteer to cooperate with you in your research, so I came. After all, they chose me as their leader, so at this moment, I must stand up."

"——Okay." After staring at Lupin for a few seconds, Ryan sighed helplessly, and then took him to the laboratory. It was within Ryan's expectations that Lupin would become the leader of the werewolves. First of all, it was Lupin who gathered these werewolves. With Lupin's help, these werewolves had formal jobs, stable homes, and the most basic dignity of an intelligent creature. Secondly, from being a prefect when he was young to being a teacher at Hogwarts a few years ago, all these showed that Lupin himself was very good. As a place where the strong are respected in the magical world, it was normal for the werewolves to unanimously elect Lupin as their leader.

Lupin himself has a strong sense of justice and a spirit of sacrifice, so it is only natural that he would be the first to receive treatment. After seeing the determination in his eyes, Ryan gave up the idea of ​​persuading him.

The laboratory was set up 155 meters underground in the garage next to it. It was dug out by Ryan with magic. The whole laboratory was built according to the solidity of the shelter in the radiation world. After it was built, Ryan and his team set up a lot of defensive magic. The whole laboratory can be regarded as a pocket shelter, equipped with independent energy and internal item circulation devices. It can accommodate ten people living underground for more than five years.

"This is--" After following Ryan and the others into the elevator hidden in the wall and arriving at the laboratory, Lupin opened his mouth in astonishment. What appeared in front of him was a very clean room. A white light source hidden somewhere illuminated the entire room brightly but not glaringly. There were three doors in the room, one door facing the elevator exit. The other two doors were on the walls on the left and right.

"This is the locker room. Go to the one on the left and put on the patient's clothes. Hermione and I will go to the right to change into our work clothes and gather here later." After Ryan said that, he took Hermione away, and Lupin walked into the other room.

After pushing open the door, he found that the room was a small cloakroom. After opening the only iron wardrobe in the cloakroom, he quickly saw a complete set of blue hospital gowns including underwear. When he put on the clothes, he found that the clothes were a little big, so he used the magic wand to shorten the overlong cuffs and trouser legs before he walked out.

At this time, Ryan and Hermione, who had changed into white coats, were waiting for him in the lobby. When they saw him come out, they took him to the laboratory.
