The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 719 Conspiracy
Finally, with Hermione as witness, Mr. Greengrass had no choice but to swear allegiance to Ryan through an ancient magic oath. Ryan promised to protect their safety and guarantee that he would not interfere in his family's internal affairs under normal circumstances.

As a sign of sincerity, Greengrass took out a lot of information from the family's secret room and handed it over to Ryan. Fortunately, Ryan had no interest in their family's unique blood magic, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, the Malfoy family also handed over all their inheritance except blood magic at that time. This was also the most important prerequisite for Ryan to ask them to swear an oath. As for blood magic, which was regarded as the core by pure-blood families, Ryan didn't care. To him, all things that could not be used universally were meaningless.

As for the knowledge they taught to the guerrillas when they led the guerrillas to attack everywhere, except for a small part specially prepared by Ryan, the rest was all obtained after the optimization of the spellcasting techniques selected from the pure-blood families.

After all, the magic Ryan mastered came from multiple worlds, which would be difficult for wizards in this world to learn, while the knowledge from pure-bloods would not have the learning difficulties caused by cultural differences between different worlds. So now Ryan's followers mainly learn the optimized parts from the pure-blood family knowledge.

"Why do you want to let the Greengrass family off?" After getting all the information Mr. Greengrass had, Ryan and his friends returned to their manor. Hermione asked the question in her heart as soon as she got home. "We can kill him tonight and then torture his soul."

"And then what? Even if we wipe out all the pure-blood families that stand on the side of the Death Eaters, the situation of the Muggle-born wizards will at most improve, but they will never achieve true equality. Don't forget, there are also pure-blood wizards on our side." Ryan thought of the Weasley family when he said this. In the original text, the Weasley family became the biggest winner after the war.

When Ryan read the novel as a child, he thought that justice triumphed over evil, but now thinking about it, the ending is actually equivalent to one pure-blood family replacing another pure-blood family. The Muggle wizards did gain some benefits, but the structure of society did not change. Everything is not much different from the past.

So this is why he wants to keep a pure-blood family like Malfoy or Greengrass, a controllable family that is openly a rival to the pure-blood wizard families that stand on his side in this war. After the war, the pure-blood families can be restrained from each other, leaving the living space that should have belonged to the Muggle-born wizards.

After the explanation, Hermione nodded slightly to show that she understood. Then the two of them went to the study to brew a pot of strong tea, preparing to spend the night analyzing the information they had obtained from Mr. Greengrass.

"Our only source of information about the jumping pot is from this fairy tale book." Ryan said as he took out the previous book and turned to the story of the jumping pot, then pointed to a paragraph and read it.

"For the rest of the week, no more villagers came to the wizard's house seeking help, but the cauldron continued to tell him about their illnesses. In a few short days, it not only brayed and groaned, leaped and shed tears, and sprouted tumors, but also coughed and retched, cried like a baby, wailed like a dog, and vomited up spoiled cheese and sour milk, as well as countless hungry slugs."

"That is to say, this magic pot can gather all the bad things around it onto itself and then reveal them." After listening to what Ryan read out, Hermione keenly realized the horror of this conspiracy. "If, as Greengrass said, its effect is reversed--"

"If the effect is the opposite, it means that as long as you put some targeted potions in this pot, everyone around will be affected by the potions at the same time." As an alchemist, Ryan easily deduced the specific effect of this alchemy tool. "For example, after putting a special poison in the pot, everyone around can be transformed into corpses."

"And most importantly, if you want to infect as many people as possible and affect a wider area, then the magic power distributed to each person won't be too much. In this way, wizards with magic power won't be infected, but ordinary people without magic power will be in big trouble. Doing so is in line with the slogan of the southern group to eliminate the dirty bloodline."

"So we have to stop this." Hermione concluded. "By the way, do we need to inform Headmaster Dumbledore? I think if the Headmaster knew about this, he would be able to provide us with some help." "No need." Ryan thought about it and rejected the suggestion. "Greengrass said before that the You-Know-Who will choose a place in the north to launch a surprise attack at this time. If Professor Dumbledore weakens the defense because of us, I believe the You-Know-Who will definitely turn the planned feint to attract attention into a full-scale attack. If we suffer too much loss, it will not be worth it."

"Of course, in order to prevent the other party from doing anything wrong during this operation, I will make sufficient preparations." Ryan saw that Hermione was a little uneasy, so he comforted her. "Anyway, according to Mr. Greengrass, this operation will start on January 1th. We have nearly half a month to prepare, which is enough."

"Unfortunately, even he doesn't know where the You-Know-Who will arrange the magic ceremony. We can only get the signal he left from his wife when he leaves home and starts to act." Hermione said with some regret.

"This is consistent with the mysterious man's character. He won't tell others what to do until the last minute." Ryan shrugged. "Of course, this could also be a trick of Mr. Greengrass. He probably wants to make sure that we have fulfilled our promise and that his wife and children have been successfully transferred to a safe place before telling us the news."

"This..." Hermione pursed her lips hard, and Ryan suddenly felt that her action was very similar to Professor McGonagall. But soon Hermione returned to her normal expression. "Although he gave up a possible opportunity for early reconnaissance, I can understand his uneasiness when it was the first time we worked together. But to be honest, these pure-blood wizards are really too wary."

"Because they have to fight all their lives, not only against enemies who may pose a threat to them, but also against those friends who were toasting with them yesterday. Remember, every pure-blood family that has survived to this day is not that simple." Ryan raised his eyebrows and stated a fact in a slightly heavy tone.

"That Draco Malfoy..." Hermione frowned. When she mentioned pure-blood families, the first person she thought of was Malfoy, but Malfoy and the pure-blood family described by Ryan seemed to be completely different. "Why does he seem so - childish."

"Because the Malfoys don't belong to the core pure-blood family." Ryan said, "In the eyes of the real pure-blood families, the Malfoy family is just a nouveau riche. Don't forget that they have never entered the Ministry of Magic. Although to the outside world it is because the Malfoys are used to hiding behind the scenes and controlling everything, from another perspective, isn't it because they are excluded by others that they can't enter the Ministry of Magic and hold power at all."

"What you said does make sense." Hermione nodded slightly, then continued, "So, what about the Weasley family? Are they also so calculating?"

"No, of course not." Ryan shook his head gently, and then thought of a fact pointed out by Headmaster Dumbledore in the original book in the second grade: the Weasley family is one of the most prestigious families of pure wizard blood.

"I think every family has its own way of survival. The one I just mentioned is only suitable for most pure-blood families. The Weasley family is an exception. The reason they are so famous is because they have enough people. Think about it, there are only three people in the Malfoy family, and we saw at least 100 Weasley family members at the last wedding. According to Mrs. Weasley, this is not the entire population of the family. Many family members living abroad did not come."

"That's good." Hermione patted her chest gently. She didn't dare to think how terrible the world would be if the harmony and friendliness of the Weasley family was just a disguise.
