The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 594 Changes
Starting from the next day, Ryan and his classmates attended classes and exams during the day, and went to Dumbledore's office to perform magic at night. Fortunately, Ryan and his classmates could take an hour every day to sleep in other worlds, so they didn't feel very tired during these seven days.

"It should be over by dawn tomorrow." On the seventh night, Dumbledore asked Ryan and Hermione, who were walking around the lanterns, waving their wands and chanting spells. "I can feel that this curse is about to be compressed to its limit."

Dumbledore raised his left hand, and the front half of his palm had completely turned into an ominous dark green. "I can feel that I can hardly move these four fingers now."

"This spell is very powerful. If you hadn't blocked some of the power of the spell and received timely treatment after returning, and if I hadn't used special targeted magic, you would have only one or two years left to live." Ryan said to Professor Dumbledore. This spell was actually the same as the one Voldemort had cast on the ring before, and it was even more powerful because of Voldemort's accumulated experience.

If Ryan hadn't made the Rose Madonna a while ago and visited Uncle Nine in the world of Mr. Zombie, and then went to represent the new generation of Maoshan to discuss Taoism in order to make Uncle Nine look good, and won the "Wu Hou Xingshu" and the matching lamp as the prize for the discussion, he really didn't have a good way to deal with the curse on Dumbledore.

Even though this curse was weakened by Dumbledore, it was still very difficult. Fortunately, Wuhou Xingshu could perfectly solve this problem. In fact, because Ryan needed to remove the curse instead of increasing his lifespan, the difficulty of this magic was greatly reduced. There was no need to worry about some unexpected situations, such as someone suddenly rushing into the principal's office and kicking over the lamp.

Finally, the first ray of morning light on the eighth day shone into the room through the glass of the headmaster's office, dyeing everything in the room golden. Dumbledore placed his left hand on the natal lamp as Ryan requested.

At this time, the curse cast by Voldemort had been completely compressed onto the ring finger of Headmaster Dumbledore's left hand. It could be seen that the ring finger of his left hand placed above the flame of the natal lamp had become skin and bones, and the entire finger had turned ink-black, emitting wisps of ominous black smoke.

"Please bear with it." Ryan said, took out the enemy sword from the space bag, clenched it with both hands, and then chopped down the cursed ring finger. A white light flashed, and the ring finger fell straight towards Dumbledore's natal lamp.

However, the finger condensed with the curse did not fall into the lamp. The flame in the lamp instantly turned into a Ganoderma lucidum shape and supported the finger. Then the flames on all the lamps suddenly spread out in all directions and connected with other flames to form a magic circle that surrounded Dumbledore and the others in the middle.

"This is all normal." Ryan explained, while directing the magic circle to continuously send magic power into the natal lamp. After receiving reinforcements, the flame in the natal lamp quickly changed from red and yellow to dazzling golden and white, and finally to sky blue. However, even so, the three people who were just a few feet away from the flame did not feel a trace of heat.

Under the burning of the sky-blue flame, the finger continuously released dark green smoke. However, the smoke was surrounded by the flames and then burned out. This stalemate lasted only two or three minutes, and finally the dark green smoke stopped coming out because of lack of strength. After there was no smoke blocking it, the flames quickly wrapped around the finger, and in just a few seconds, the finger turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated in the air.

"Everything is over, Professor. The magic ritual was very successful and the curse on you has been completely removed." Ryan said to Headmaster Dumbledore after watching all the oil lamps on the floor slowly go out.

"Thank you, and I'm really sorry for bothering you this time." Professor Dumbledore said after a long sigh, "I really thought I only had one year to live. I really want to thank you for saving me this time."

Dumbledore paused for a moment, then said seriously, "Also, I'm sorry that you had to face enemies in school before."

"Since we have the ability, there is nothing wrong with fighting the enemy." Hermione said, "We can't let those dangerous people get in touch with students who have no fighting ability." "No, I mean I'm sorry that you need to kill. It's always a bad thing to deprive others of their lives. This should be the responsibility of adults like us." Unlike Ryan, as an old man who has experienced two brutal wars and is now facing the third Kul War, Dumbledore does not mind killing the enemy. He just thinks that this matter should only belong to adults like them, and students like Ryan should not bear this.

"Mr. Principal, as I told you before, we are not willing to choose war and killing, but the current situation is that these things will find us automatically. I think we will probably have more blood on our hands in the coming days." Ryan said, "Besides, I think we are already capable of facing everything on the cruel battlefield."

"--Well, I really can't treat you as ordinary children." Dumbledore did not persuade Ryan as before, but after thinking for a while, he seriously discussed with Ryan and Hermione. "I can understand that you fight with all your strength in the battle, and of course I understand that it is extremely stupid to consider holding back in the battle. But I still hope that you will not be attracted by killing, and can stick to your original intention."

"We promise." After hearing what Dumbledore said, Hermione and Ryan clasped their hands and looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Then Hermione said, "We will only use killing when necessary, and we can assure you that every killing is to save more innocent lives."

"That's good." Dumbledore looked into Ryan's eyes carefully, and nodded with satisfaction when he found that Ryan's eyes were clear and firm. "I'm glad you can realize this. I hope your souls will never be lost because of blood."

After putting away all the oil lamps, Ryan and his team said goodbye to the headmaster and left the headmaster's office. There were two biggest gains for them this time. On the one hand, after successfully saving Professor Dumbledore's life, the next days would be much better than in the original book. At the same time, they could also attract Voldemort's attention to the greatest extent possible to ensure their own safety.

On the other hand, through the previous battles, treatments and conversations with Dumbledore, Ryan was truly recognized by him as a warrior along with Hermione, which made it much easier to do many things. At least killing Death Eaters in a battle with them would be considered acceptable.

This is also a small problem in choosing to stand on Dumbledore's side. Everyone is disgusted with killing, even if the enemy is some extremely evil guy, which makes Ryan and Hermione, who is influenced by Ryan, feel a little uncomfortable. Even from the most basic principle of proportionality between crime and punishment, sometimes the idea of ​​not killing that some members of the Order of the Phoenix insist on still seems a bit pedantic.

Fortunately, through a series of events today, Headmaster Dumbledore acquiesced to some of Ryan and Hermione's behaviors so that they would not be restrained in battle. This is very important, because unlike wizards like Dumbledore who have adapted to subduing the enemy without killing, Ryan and Hermione, whose fighting instincts have been honed in the blood and blood, will be very uncomfortable if they are not allowed to kill in battle.

After this matter came to an end, Ryan and his classmates finally had a good rest in the next few days. During this time, some classmates tried to ask what happened that night, but after Hermione told them how she killed a Death Eater, these classmates stopped asking them.

Even many classmates subconsciously stayed away from Ryan and Hermione, and only some of their friends and members of the reading club treated them as usual. This made Ryan feel that the British wizarding world had been peaceful for too long. At the same time, the cruelty of the last war made everyone unwilling to be involved in war again.

It seems that the current situation is not optimistic enough. It will take more time for most people to be ready to fight Voldemort and his minions, and what is lacking now is time.

At this time, Ryan could only pray that the full-scale war would break out later, and later.
