The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 704 Expedition Plan
The next morning, Ryan and his friends got up early and started preparing breakfast. Just as they quickly prepared breakfast and served it on the table in the restaurant, Rose Quartz floated in the air and walked out with the girl from yesterday.

"Thank you for saving me yesterday." The girl bowed politely after seeing Ryan and the others. "Nice to meet you. My name is Xida."

Looking at Hilda's expression, Ryan guessed that Rose Crystal must have introduced the previous situation to Hilda. That was why she thanked her as soon as she came.

"Ryan." "Hermione." Ryan and the others briefly introduced themselves, and then Hermione said, "When we came to this place yesterday, we were really shocked to see you falling from the sky, but later we found that you seemed to be floating down from the sky little by little. I think even if we didn't save you, you should be able to land safely on the ground."

"Really? Unfortunately, I was unconscious at that time." Xida thought for a while and said, "I fell from a flying ship, but I don't know why I slowly fell from the sky."

"I think it should be the pendant on your neck." Ryan said, "Because when I saw you yesterday, I felt that the pendant on your neck had a significant magical reaction, and it was also releasing a magic similar to the levitation spell."

"Levitation spell?" After hearing Ryan's words, Xida thought for a while, and then suddenly realized it. "Just now, the person named Rose Crystal said that you are wizards who traveled here from a distant place. Is the levitation spell you mentioned the magic of your wizards?"

"Yes, it's like this." Hermione said, pulling out her wand and pointing at a plate on the table. "Wingardium Leviosa." As the last syllable of the spell fell, the plate floated up in the surprised eyes of Sheida, and then began to circle over the dining table as Hermione's wand pointed.

This time, Xida completely believed what Ryan said that they were wizards, because she saw the existence of magic with her own eyes. Just as she was amazed, a young man's voice came from the door. "Sir, I am here as agreed."

"Is that Baru?" Ryan said, "Come in, we have prepared breakfast. And the young lady who fell from the sky yesterday is also in the tent now."

"Tent, but this tent is so small, how can I be inside - this is, God!" Baru was shocked when he walked into the tent. The simple canvas tent that looked like it could only sleep two people was actually bigger than the mansions in the town before, and the decoration was even better than that. Compared with the furnishings in this tent, the most luxurious house in the town that Baru had visited before looked as simple as his own shabby house.

"My elder brother and his wife are both wizards, so they are naturally different from others." Rose Crystal saw Baru standing at the door with a surprised look on his face, then flew out and floated in the air, raising her little head slightly with a proud look on her face.

"Oh my god, a talking doll." Baloo said in surprise after seeing the rose crystal for the first time. He was even more surprised when he found that the rose crystal was floating over. "Not only can it talk, but the doll can actually fly."

"Be polite. It's really rude to call a lady a doll." Rose Crystal said, "I have my own name. You can call me Rose Crystal."

"I'm sorry, Miss Rose Crystal." Baloo bowed politely. "I was indeed rude just now. I'm sorry, because I have never met anyone like you."

"It's normal, because we have magic that others don't have, so you will see a lot of things you have never seen before." Rose Crystal said to Baru. "So, I forgive you for your rudeness just now! Now follow me, we will start breakfast soon, and my brother and others have reserved a seat for you." "Thank you for your concern." After entering the restaurant, after learning from Ryan and others that Baru came because of concern, Sheeta bowed slightly to express her gratitude. Baru also hurriedly bowed in return, but because he was too excited, his head hit the edge of the table.

"Don't worry, my head is very hard, at least harder than my master's fist, it's okay this time." Seeing that everyone at the table was looking at him with concerned eyes, Baru quickly waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. However, after this little episode, everyone relaxed a lot and started chatting while eating.

"You said you came here from far away to find Laputa, the city in the sky? My father had seen the city in the sky and took photos of it, but people thought he was a liar and he died of depression. But now it seems that Laputa actually exists." Baru was surprised. "But you are wizards now. Why do you still want to find Laputa when you have mastered such amazing magic?"

"I'm sorry to hear your father's story, but just like your father insisted on his inner goal, as wizards we also have our own persistence, that is, the pursuit of knowledge." Hermione said in a firm tone, "At least a city like Laputa that can fly in the air is a great research object. If we master the knowledge, we can build a floating castle of our own in our hometown."

"She's right." Ryan said after eating a poached egg, "For wizards, the most precious thing is the knowledge they have never been exposed to. There must be knowledge in the sky city of Laputa that we have never seen."

"Aren't you looking for wealth or power?" Xida asked, subconsciously grabbing the flying stone pendant on his chest while speaking. "I heard that many people pursued the sky city just to find these."

"Wealth?" Ryan took a napkin from the table and asked the two guests to check it. He then activated the power of the Virgin of the Rose to turn it into pure gold. "The power I possess can turn stone into gold. For me, worldly wealth can be obtained as long as I want."

"Oh my god, this magic is amazing." After picking up the napkin that had turned into a golden plate and looking at it, Baru exclaimed. "I also believe that you are not looking for the city in the sky for money or power. After all, gold is just like dirt to you, and in this world, as long as you have gold, what rights can't you get?"

After confirming that Ryan and his friends were not ambitious people, everyone talked more relaxedly. Xida talked about the life in Kenya in the deep mountains of the north when her relatives were still alive, the beautiful valleys and the yaks at home, while Baru talked about his dreams and his previous work.

"Well, let's prepare for the day today and set out to look for the sky city tomorrow." Ryan said after breakfast, then looked at Sheeta and Baru and asked, "Hermione and I will go to the empty mine nearby first, because I heard that the raw materials of flying stones come from there. By the way, what are your plans?"

"We'll go to my house to get some things first, and then we'll wait for you here." After Hida and Baru discussed it privately, Baru looked up and replied. "Then we'll come back here and wait for you."

"That's good." Ryan nodded, then took out two small golden plates tied with ropes, large enough to fit in the palm of your hand and engraved with various runes, and handed them to Baru and the other two. "After we go out together, I will cast a spell around this tent to protect it. When the time comes, you can only see the tent and walk in with these things, so don't lose them."

"Don't worry, we will never lose this thing." After saying that, Baru and the others put the magic key around their necks, and then followed Ryan and the others out of the tent.
