The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 721 Pre-war Plan
The next day, all the trainees got up early and started exercising under the leadership of Ryan and Hermione. Even though wizards use magic as their main means of combat, physical exercise is still necessary.

Fortunately, Ryan had enough resources, and with the support of the money-burning strategy, he was able to improve the physical fitness of these followers in a short period of time. At the same time, with the support of memory indoctrination, high-intensity training allowed them to quickly master the skills of casting spells.

"I think the resources each of us consumes in a day can even catch up with the resources that the heads of pure-blood families consume in a month of training." After a day of hard training, at dinner, Dirk Cresswell, the former director of the Fairy Liaison Office, gave everyone a brief account of the value of the potions and various magic props that Ryan provided them.

"——Soul stabilizer, 12 Galleons per small bottle. Physical strength potion containing Riem bull blood, 20 Galleons. Most importantly, all of these things are priceless and very precious." Although as a Muggle wizard, he could not afford these things even as an official of the Ministry of Magic. However, in the process of interacting with his colleagues, he also understood the value of these things. Therefore, during dinner, he began to introduce the value of these things to his companions one by one.

"Honor is loyalty." Ryan's followers whispered. They knew from the beginning why Ryan spent so much on them, but as the Muggle wizards and even half-blood wizards who had been ignored before, they were not averse to offering their loyalty. First of all, Ryan had a good reputation before, and saved them from danger. Naturally, they would not reject following such a leader.

Secondly, Ryan was willing to provide them with resources that they had always dreamed of but had never been able to obtain as marginal figures in the magic world. In this case, the identity of a follower was naturally what they were extremely pursuing.

Finally, and most importantly, Ryan's goal of eliminating bloodline discrimination and giving wizards equal opportunities is not only just, but also speaks to the hearts of wizards who have suffered from bloodline discrimination before. This also makes them regard Ryan's goal as their own goal, which naturally makes them have a strong initiative in doing things.

Therefore, although the training was very hard and tiring, everyone persisted, whether they were young people who had just graduated or former employees in their thirties or forties. At the same time, everyone's eyes were filled with hope.

After half a month of hard training, everyone successfully passed the assessment at the end of the training. At the evening banquet, everyone asked Ryan about his next plan.

"You guys take a rest tomorrow, and then gather together the day after tomorrow to strengthen the defense of Hogsmeade." Ryan said to everyone at the dining table. "I got reliable intelligence that the mysterious man will launch a new round of attacks the day after tomorrow, but the only problem now is that I don't know the specific target of the enemy's action."

"So what should we do?" Someone asked, "We must do something in this situation, but where should we go if we don't know where the enemy is going?"

"I personally suggest you go to Hogsmeade," Ryan said. "Because the You-Know-Who himself is likely to appear in this attack, I don't recommend you to act separately. The only place where you can act together is Hogsmeade."

"Of course, this doesn't mean that we only consider your safety." Hermione saw a few people showing discouraged expressions and added, "Because among the places we need to protect, Hogsmeade has the most civilians, and it is also the most difficult to defend. From another perspective, that place also needs you the most."

Hermione's words were not perfunctory, because both Hogwarts and Azkaban were similar to magical fortresses. Their defense was much simpler than that of a settlement like Hogsmeade.

"Of course, you don't have to worry too much if the You-Know-Who attacks Hogsmeade. As long as you can have firm confidence and not be afraid, you can hold off the You-Know-Who for more than ten minutes without getting hurt. And Headmaster Dumbledore is inside Hogwarts Castle, so this is enough time for him to get here." After finding out that everyone was still a little afraid of Voldemort, Ryan quickly encouraged everyone.

After dinner, Ryan and Hermione sent these people out of the manor together. They returned to the room only after they all disappeared at the door of the manor. "How are you preparing for the day after tomorrow?" Hermione asked after returning to the room. "I haven't received any letters from Mr. Greengrass recently, and I'm a little worried now-"

"There's nothing to worry about." Ryan comforted him. "After all, the connection between him and us is secret, and this matter is so important. Under such circumstances, we should contact him less."

"Anyway, no news at this time is the best news. Anyway, we agreed that he would send us a detailed message tomorrow at noon, and it would be fine if he wrote to us then. Before that, for safety reasons, it would be best for him not to contact us."

"Well, as long as everything is as we expected." Hermione said, shaking her hair. "I'm going to bed now. These two weeks of training are killing me."

This fatigue not only affects the body, but also the soul. Even with memory transfer as a foundation, guiding 30 people to learn at once is a very complicated and difficult task. After almost half a month of such work, Hermione felt that she could not bear it even after her body was strengthened.

Of course, Ryan was not relaxed at all. This also led to the two of them sleeping until ten o'clock the next morning. Fortunately, after a long sleep, their energy was finally restored and it would not delay the action the next day.

At 12 noon, a wind chime hanging in the restaurant rang, and Ryan immediately Apparated to the letter receiving point, where, sure enough, there was a parchment roll the size of an index finger placed.

This parchment roll was simply rolled up, without the wax seal with the family emblem commonly used by nobles, and even without an envelope. According to the method agreed with Mr. Greengrass before, Ryan took out his wand and tapped the two ends of the wax seal, then wrapped the wand head around the parchment roll three times, and the parchment roll unfolded itself in an instant.

This is a trick used to seal secret documents. If you don't open it in the right way, the words on the parchment will disappear. There are only two lines of words written on the unfolded parchment, which requires Ryan to go to Greengrass Manor at 6:30 tomorrow afternoon to pick up his wife and two daughters and place them in a safe place. At that time, his wife will tell Ryan the location of their magic ceremony.

"It seems that Mr. Greengrass is still very wary." After reading the letter, Ryan watched the words on the letter slowly fade until they disappeared. Ryan said to himself. However, since this was their first collaboration, Ryan could understand Mr. Greengrass's idea.

After returning to the manor, Ryan told Hermione about this matter. After listening to the contents of the letter, Hermione asked: "I want to know where you plan to arrange the three of them in this situation?"

"We definitely can't send them to Sirius's house like we did with Malfoy. After all, Mrs. Malfoy is from the Black family. Although the Greengrass family is somewhat related to the Black family, it would be inappropriate to send them all there for refuge." Ryan said, "Then how about sending them to Hogsmeade?"

"Not very good." Hermione shook her head. "After this operation, the Greengrass family will definitely be on the You-Know-Who's wanted list. Hogsmeade is not suitable. The security of that place is too low. We can't take that risk."
