The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 722 Shocking Change
Ryan proposed a plan for the Greengrass family to move, but Hermione rejected it. For the sake of modeling, Greengrass and Malfoy were two families who had taken refuge with Ryan, so Ryan had to ensure the safety of these two families. The houses in Hogsmeade did not meet this requirement in terms of safety.

"Hogsmeade's current defenses are good enough to withstand a large-scale attack by Death Eaters, or a small-scale simple infiltration. But once the mysterious man decides to kill someone, I don't think the town of Hogsmeade can withstand the raids of those elite teams." Hermione spread her hands and said.

"Then where do you think it would be best to put the Greengrass family?" Ryan asked. "After all, they have become a source of danger. We can't let them bring disaster to others."

"Of course not." Hermione bit her lip and said, "I mean, we can let the Greengrass family live in this manor temporarily. I think we should be able to guarantee safety here."

"If you decide, then do it." Ryan nodded. According to British custom, all matters of this kind are decided by the hostess. So Ryan did not object after Hermione made the decision. After all, this manor is very large and has enough space for four people from the Greengrass family to live in. As for security issues, there are some independent buildings in the manor. Just clean up a guest room and prohibit them from entering the main house.

So that afternoon, Ryan ordered several Mr. Handy robots in his house to clean up an independent building in the manor, and then went to several worlds to prepare enough weapons to fight a small battle.

At six o'clock the next afternoon, Ryan and Hermione appeared together three kilometers away from Greengrass Manor. For safety reasons, Ryan and the others planned to walk there.

"There are people around." After walking out of a small forest, Hermione suddenly stopped in her tracks. She and Ryan were wearing school uniforms and carrying school bags, disguising themselves as a Muggle couple traveling in winter. Because when they visited here before, they found that the Greengrass family manor was very close to a hot spring attraction, so wearing a better outfit could hide themselves.

"There are tourist attractions around here, so it is very normal to see people here." Ryan answered Hermione through the Phoenix Mark, "As long as you don't enter the scope of Greengrass Manor, it would be strange if there is no one in this place."

"Don't look to the right, there are two guys in suits standing inside Greengrass Manor." Hermione pulled Ryan forward and said through the Phoenix Mark. "It feels like they are targeting us."

Ryan suddenly realized that Hermione was right. If they turned around and looked at the two people who theoretically should not be visible to Muggles, the Death Eaters would immediately know that something was wrong with Ryan and the others.

"How could someone be monitoring this place?" Ryan asked silently as he walked forward. "Our previous contact should have been very secretive, how could those Death Eaters find out something was wrong?"

"I'm not sure, but today's matter won't be that simple." Ryan muttered softly. He just glanced at the two guys standing on the side of the road about ten meters away, and found that these two guys were both quite skilled black wizards, and they were revealing the aura of some magic props.

After turning a corner and confirming that the two people's sight was blocked by a bush, Ryan and Hermione cast invisibility magic and went back. As a result, after entering the woods and communicating with the plants, Ryan felt the presence of a third person about seven or eight meters behind the two people.

The third person was now hiding in a pit about one meter high, with branches and leaves as cover. If the pit he dug was not very close to a tree root, it would not be easy for ordinary people to find him.

"A very targeted trap." Ryan thought after confirming that there was no fourth ambush. Generally speaking, wizards who knew about the Greengrass family manor would definitely enter the manor through the normal entrances and exits, and now these guys hiding on the roadside are targeting those who try to sneak in.

You have to know that although the Greengrass family manor is large, there are magics used to interfere with space around it. Only here, close to the Muggle road, in order to prevent wizards from appearing inexplicably in the field of vision of Muggles, this kind of interference is reduced, and some defensive magic is also reduced to avoid accidentally hurting Muggles, so generally infiltration will choose this direction. Fortunately, after the investigation and confirmation of the location of the three people, it is very simple to deal with them. Ryan and Hermione used magic to hide themselves and slowly approached them. After giving an order, they acted at the same time. Three green lights of death flashed, and the three guys immediately fell to the street.

Next, Ryan prepared a simple ritual magic to quickly summon their souls and began to interrogate them, but the information he obtained was very bad. The three of them were sent by Voldemort himself to investigate whether anyone had sneaked into the Greengrass family manor, and they had been sent here three days ago.

"That means our actions are likely known to the mysterious person, and it's even possible that the whole thing is a trap set by the mysterious person." After watching Ryan send three souls to the world of the dead, Hermione pursed her lips. "So should we continue?"

"Of course we'll continue." Ryan said. "We underestimated the You-Know-Who this time. Even though his soul was chopped off and there's not much left in his body, his cunning is no less than before. Don't forget that Harry once dreamed that the You-Know-Who seemed to have found something important, so I think this jumping pot and the whole conspiracy are real."

"That is to say, this time the You-Know-Who wants to use this jumping pot to lure us over and kill us." Hermione concluded, "No wonder he chose you. At least compared to Headmaster Dumbledore, you are indeed a little bit inferior, and your age and experience are not enough. It should be much easier to kill you."

"Although you are telling the truth, you can be more tactful next time." Ryan made a joke, then said seriously, "But I don't think he could have imagined that I could gain such powerful strength in such a short time, so it's hard to say who attacked whom this time."

After entering Greengrass Manor, their suspicions were confirmed. When they opened the door, there was no one there. It was not until they entered the reception room that they found a body lying on the sofa. It was Mr. Greengrass.

The corpse had a shocked expression on its face, as if it was surprised by its own death. In addition, many of the furniture in the room looked very messy, probably because someone had rushed in and destroyed everything.

In addition, the body of the house-elf was also lying on the coffee table in the reception room. Several teacups and a teapot rolled onto the carpet, and the tea inside dyed a large area of ​​the carpet brown-red.

"They died a day ago." Hermione, who mastered the magic of necromancy, obtained an accurate autopsy result after a brief examination of the two bodies, and then reconstructed what happened here at that time based on the environment at the scene.

"At about six o'clock last night, there were seven people and a house-elf in this living room. The three guests were known to Mr. Greengrass or were relatively familiar with him. Greengrass even called his wife and children to receive the three guests together."

"But just when everyone appeared in this living room, the guests suddenly attacked and killed Mr. Greengrass and the house-elf who could Apparate, and then kidnapped Mrs. Greengrass and her two children." While speaking, Hermione summoned blue images in the air to recreate the scene at that time.

"It seems that those uninvited guests left something for us?" Just as Hermione was using magic, Ryan suddenly found a flash of light in the corner of the room.
