The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 676 Plan
After getting what they wanted, Ryan and Hermione had lunch with Sirius at 12 Grimmauld Place. Of course, the three of them prepared lunch together. It was not until this time that Ryan and the others knew that Meliam was not here now, but lived with Kreacher and Tonks in Hogsmeade.

"Although there are many protective magics here and it is very safe, it is still under the control of dark wizards. There are even dark wizards watching the door. Under such circumstances, we cannot go out normally. Staying in such a gloomy mansion all day is not good for the health of pregnant women and fetuses. So I sent them all to my cousin. Of course, I will visit her whenever I have time."

"You're right." Hermione used her wand to direct the knife on the chopping board to cut the mutton into small pieces, then sprayed some seasoning from her wand and put it into the pot with the mutton and stirred it. "From a medical point of view, pregnant women need to bask in the sun frequently and maintain a good mood. You can't meet these requirements here. But in Hogsmeade, all this can be done easily."

"You're right." Sirius nodded with feeling. "Since Meliam moved to Hogsmeade to live with Tonks and my cousin, I think she looks much better than when she was here before."

"By the way, Sirius." Ryan asked after he cut a bunch of onions and put them into the pot and covered it with a lid. "Didn't they say that Mrs. Malfoy also lives in this house? Why haven't I seen her?"

"Ha, let alone you, even I only see him once or twice a week." Sirius squinted his eyes and made a face, of course, this might be because of the spicy taste of cutting onions just now. "Anyway, since she moved in, we have been trying to avoid seeing each other. Now I basically don't go to the third floor unless I have nothing to do, and my cousin and the two Malfoys try not to come to the first floor. Anyway, Kreacher will deliver meals to them every day, and all kinds of facilities are available upstairs."

Therefore, after making lunch, Ryan and the other three started eating straight away. After finishing their meal and chatting for a while while drinking tea, they said goodbye to Sirius and left Hogsmeade No. 12 and returned to their own manor.

"Okay, now we have what you need. What should we do next?" Hermione asked directly after returning to her manor, "Are we going to ambush the lone Death Eaters at the gates of those manors?"

"It's not about ambushing a lone Death Eater." Ryan shook his head. "It's about doing something big, which is to destroy the basis of existence of those pure-blood families from the root. Because even with the help of the Celestial Empire's alchemists, we are still at a disadvantage in terms of resources. I think if we can't destroy the source of resources of those pure-blood families, it will only be a matter of time before we fail in this situation of mutual bleeding."

"Do we have to do this?" Hermione looked at Ryan and asked, her voice trembling. "Do we really need to do this? To destroy the cornerstones of the British wizarding world."

"I don't want this to happen either." Ryan looked at Hermione's face and said in an unprecedented serious tone. "To be honest, this is also a last resort. Because it is easy to destroy but difficult to rebuild. Once these things are destroyed, it will not be possible to rebuild them in a short time."

"Then why did you--" Hermione was interrupted by Ryan before she could finish her question. "But now these things have become weapons used by the enemy to attack us. They have been pawned for money and supplies, and then used to hire a large number of dark wizards to launch attacks on us again and again. The mysterious man is hiding behind us, waiting for our strength to be slowly weakened, and then rushing out to completely destroy everything we cherish."

"In addition, these places continuously produce various materials to supply the Death Eaters so that they have stronger power to fight us, putting a large number of innocent people in danger. So now that we can't find and eliminate the mysterious man, we can only use this method to curb the enemy's power." After saying this, Ryan shook his head helplessly.

"I know you're right, I just can't accept it for the time being." Hermione said, holding Ryan's hand, "But if you have to do this, let me go with you. If we are still alive after the war, I hope to rebuild these things with you. Rebuild them house by house."

Soon, after an afternoon of discussion, the first target was confirmed, which was a large magical plantation belonging to the Malfoy family. Before the war broke out, that plantation accounted for 30% of the entire British magic potion supply. "Although we don't know who controls that plantation now, we can be sure that it is indeed under the control of a mysterious person. And according to the records, the Malfoy family plantation and the Crabbe family and Goyle family plantations are all concentrated together. If we are lucky, we can destroy them all at once." Hermione concluded after finalizing the target of the attack.

The Malfoy family's plantation is located in Wiltshire. It is a large plantation that concentrates plains, woodlands, mountains, caves, swamps, wetlands and water. Together with the plantations of the Crabbe family and the Goyle family, the total area is close to 100 acres. After seeing this scene when they flew over the plantation by spaceship, Ryan and his team had to urgently modify their plans.

"How can this plantation be so large?" In the living area of ​​the spaceship, Hermione looked at the 3D map of the Malfoy plantation that was transmitted back by the pile of reconnaissance balls that had just been dropped, and was shocked. "I always thought that the so-called potion plantation was the same as the greenhouse in Hogwarts, except that the greenhouse had more rooms."

"Magical plant cultivation is a very complicated matter. At least half of magical plants are difficult to cultivate indoors or in greenhouses. They must be cultivated in the wild or semi-wild. This is why the Malfoy family was able to occupy a place in the supply of raw materials for potions in the past. Ordinary people do not have such a large cultivation field."

Ryan said as he waved his hand at the 3D map on the table, and the map immediately changed from the colorful sand table to a transparent light blue. On the light blue map, Ryan marked a dozen colorful spots and seven or eight buildings.

"Look, they used different terrains and various magic arrays to create different climates and magic environments, and built semi-independent open-air plantations. In this way, they can grow a large number of various magical plants commonly seen in Eurasia and even the Americas." Ryan explained to others while pointing at the light spots. "These light spots of different colors represent the different uses of magic arrays in the area, such as regulating temperature, humidity, magic concentration, magic flow speed, and the proportion of different magic in the area."

"So what are these marked buildings?" Rose Crystal, floating in the air, pointed at the buildings that were circled on the map and asked curiously. "I can only recognize that some of them are greenhouses."

"You're right." Ryan nodded to Rose Crystal. "Some of these buildings are indeed greenhouses. Some magical plants are aggressive or have extremely demanding survival requirements, so it's obviously not suitable to grow them outdoors. At this time, a fully enclosed greenhouse is needed to ensure the survival of the plants."

"As for the remaining buildings, some are rooms dedicated to placing magic circles, some are dormitories for house-elves, some are laboratories or workshops for processing these magical materials, and some are where the guards live." Ryan said as he pointed on the map one by one with his wand, but soon his wand stopped on a small room. After magical reconnaissance, he found a huge space underneath the small room.

"But I have no idea what this place is." Ryan frowned slightly. "The last time I went to France, I talked to Lucius Malfoy about his plantation. According to what he said, this house should have been a warehouse for storing potions. There was a small underground safe underneath, but it was definitely not as large as the current one, which is close to the size of a football field."

"Then let's focus on this place." Hermione turned to Ryan and said, "Now we need to formulate an action plan. The area here is too large, and we need to formulate an efficient plan."
